Great video. Glad to see someone actually enjoying a wheel instead of constantly complaining about them. I love my EX 30. I live down here in Florida. It’s flat and straight and that’s where the X 30 thrives.

[@UStride]

Nooiice

[@Making_Progr3ss]

I'm literally about to get this wheel.. I've been watching you for a while. You've gotten so much better.! After watching this video, I'm fully confident in my purchase.. I've been shredding on the EXN. And at this point, it's holding me back.

[@UStride]

Fantastic wheel, for sure. Highly recommend making your pads set up as comfortable and effective as possible to get the true potential out. I had to modify the stock setup, which I absolutely love right now.

[@MichaelMutai]

Am also getting this one...selling all my other wheels....EX30 looks like a complete package

[@jamesm217]

The beeps you're getting around 49mph are the 80% motor output beeps which you cannot turn off, they are built into the firmware.

[@PacificNorthwest360]

Wow this video review is amazing. Cheers from Olympia WA. Your character is A+

[@gordmarshall5830]

So impressed with Christine's ability at such a petite stature that it gives me confidence that I could manage it. You two are great together and I can't wait for more. 6 pac Gord

[@obadiyahisrael6917]

Wow. You sold me. I've been really happy with my rs19 ht. Now my 16 year old son who thought I was crazy is interested. So I think I'm gonna get this and hand the rs down to him. Will be using your link. Shalom 🙏.

[@UStride]

Nice nice. I'm been glad to have been part of that decision. Fanatic wheel that won't need to upgrade for while. Just get the fairings

[@vett144]

Ex30 is next level indeed! Finally an American review of someone actually pushing the capabilities of the wheel, not riding it like grandpa. I wouldn't consider the wheel small but i havent ridden the master pro either. Great vid! Happy riding...

[@UStride]

Glad you liked it man. Yeah this is a Ferrari for sure

[@user-ju7px4ih6q]

Awesome review! Thanks for sharing the idea of mounting the grizzla’s! Kudos !

Im receiving my ex 30 tomorrow and Begode put a street tire on !

Sweeet

[@allsaintsfellowship]

The new begode designs are really great and help a lot at cooling.

[@senseivegan]

I agree with you 💯 about the tire. It will edge on you in a quick second and that's not something you want to have your mind on while riding. Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. Peace & Blessings!

[@mdk42o74]

i just got my ex30 and omg i got to say i only got 40 miles on it as of now just with only 40 miles on it now when i jump on my t4 i can now rip my t4 hard the ex30 help me so much on my skills cant wait to see what i look like after 1500 miles

[@UStride]

Hahahaha awesome. So happy for you man.

[@Farmhand2k]

Thanks for the video. Mine gets delivered on Friday with the street tire!

[@UStride]

Sweeet. Good choice on the tire

[@WiFeYBurGLeR1]

I love my EX30. I swapped out the tire for a Michelin. Then I installed the full Grizzla kit. I was just going to do plates and pads but after seeing the quality of the kit, it was a wrap lol Then I threw on a coil shock and E-rides pedals. All I got to say is I am not going to need another wheel for a while lol. The EX30 is a beast and while I was taking it apart, I was thinking Begode is leaving money on the table if they don’t make swappable motors and batteries for this platform. It really is modular. It would be so official if when they come out with a better motor we can just swap it in and the same with battery packs. This wheel is already balanced just right.

[@UStride]

Wow. Motor swap. What a freaking great idea. I remember my Honda days when I used to swap motors with Acura type r

[@UStride]

Which back drop? Thanks

[@OficialPedro65]

Very smooth riding style! So, I saw a video talking about the difficulty to use different pads cause of the battery box not accepting velcro properly. What did you do to glue it well your Grizzla?

[@floppyutters]

Great vid! I want one! ☝️

[@Eddie_freeflow504]

In one word about this video "Wow" 0-50 in 6secs incredible 👏, everything you said I feel the same about mine the tire catches some times. I don't ever do stairs or jumps but like you it's about the speed and going 50 feels comfortable. I took my stocks pads and use alienrides pads. Great reviews!!! 👍

[@mikeh6286]

Fantastic wheel. It's tempting to pick up a Master at a good deal and try to swap out the suspension, but this is making it a hard decision. Maybe wait until there's a good deal on one of these. I usually buy 2nd hand. It's beneficial to let the wheels prove themselves before jumping on them. It's my little insurance.

[@Korksmeo]

Hi! How about new videos about this fantastic wheel? Can't wait to see your newest videos about new euc as well! Come on U-Stride!

[@Lilbmo]

exact reason I bought my t4 maybe later I'll get an ex30 she's beautiful.

[@Clubkabuki]

Excellent informative review 😊

[@Simonisms]

That third digit on the display is needed when you use metric. (Master Pro freespins at 119 kph) Always surprises me the the US decided to stick with the imperial system, guess you yanks really didn't go all the way when you declared independence from the British 😉 Happy 4th btw ✌️🎉

[@UStride]

Make sense actually

[@darkstar4494]

I don’t see how this big heavy wheel is small or portable. but lowering the pedal height and center of gravity does seem to make a lot of people happy. Pedal height is the main reason I didn’t buy a master. I’m happy with my patton for now but I think I’ll get ex30 or whatever succeeds it next summer.

[@hmhama782]

Great review 👍

[@GitDatPC]

Did someone really hit 63 MPH GPS on an EX30? I've got a Commander Pro 50S coming with a C40 motor, so I'm hoping to be able to cruise at 55 MPH on short strips of road 😎

[@TheEVside]

Fantastic review

[@UStride]

Thanks man

[@ianolwoch842]

Got my hands on a brand new one …. at last 🥳 … a real beauty. The pads look nice but they are a bit papery. Somehow, during installation, I managed to tear one of them with my bare hands 😭. Could rubber or gel pads make a difference?

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

You should really try the Patton. Insane acceleration and smaller than the EX30. But not as stable at higher speeds, of course.

[@ConsilienceDVO]

Wait til you try the Commander Pro.

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

isn’t that the same thing but with a worse motor and better quality?

[@ConsilienceDVO]

@@VECTOR_Coasters what do you mean by WORSE motor?

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@ConsilienceDVO c38 on the commander and c40 on the ex30. the c40 has more torque, top speed, and runs cooler then the c38 making the c38 inferior and worse then the c40

[@ConsilienceDVO]

@@VECTOR_Coasters I think the power difference is not that much different. If you want a street specific wheel EX30 most likely. Better all around wheel def the CP. Top speed difference is only 5mph, 55 for CP and maybe 60mph for the EX30. Not many people will hit the 60mph mark. All around ride and handling def the CP. Nobody is racing the EX30 offroad, if they are...they aren't making the podium. CP ridden by Zach Darnell got second place in the Seek n Shred event and almost won if wasn't for him crash in literally the last 15 feet. Heat is not an issue at all for any of these wheels. Cp out the box is ready to go, superior suspension and handling. Dawn Champion bought the EX30, likes the CP better. ( she's fast) Jennifer Crusher, Bought the EX30 and now own a CP and loves it more. If you just like to go fast and straight EX30, but everything else I think belongs to CP. Not only do you have to pay more for EX30, you need to pay for the mods such as links, shocks and of course bumper systems. I had my heart on buying an EX30, but the CP seems to have everything I want. Better suspension, better handling and less modifications. If you weigh over 200 pounds def go with the EX30. But for a lot of people, that extra 5mph ain't worth it. It's slightly more torquey and slightly faster. Take a look at Ronin's review even though it's an old one.

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@ConsilienceDVO the ex30 is still faster and has lower center of gravity making it handle better but some people just prefer the suspension and box design on the commander

[@lesloup]

Absolutely awesome

[@yungfelix17]

Great video bro! What vest are you wearing btw?

[@The_Life_Of_Isley]

Can you share what setting you have?

[@wheelman6964]

Portability, are you kidding? Top heavy is about different riding technique, maybe takes a little more getting used to and even relearning certain aspects. I really have a hard time understanding this obsession with crazy, heavy wheels, maybe we're trying too many wheels and not allowing the proper adaptation with time and experience. For example the Master allows much more brutal acceleration being top heavy and in my opinion, when you can control it, its weight makes the wheel much more agile and aggressive. Only fanboys believe every new single wheel they test is better that the former one. The performance and fun factor of these wheels is obvious in fast urban/traffic environment, not on a highway at 90kmh, it's about reaching these speeds safely, not maintaining them indefinitely. These 50kg eucs are for heavier riders to feel safe, but in my opinion a 70kg rider on a Master, like once the RS/MSX, with good technique, can outperform heavier even more powerful wheels everywhere besides distance. Kuji is a good example.

[@mig6220]

I just wish you could've felt the real, unleashed MasPro for a legit comparison. The stock linkage geometry is wrong- it keeps the shock from moving correctly. With aftermarket links- i use 100 lbs less air pressure than you(I'm 260lbs!), and no bottoming out. With the all metal battery boxes AND spacers, you get a more rigid structure. In the meantime, the guy who makes and sells the corrected linkage (Hou Ningning)is making LOWER pedal hangers! It's gonna be next level in terms of handling!

[@UStride]

Interesting. Thanks

[@TheDownloader86]

Just awesome machine and insane riding! Too bad I do not have elevator to my apartment. Because maybe it is compact, but dammm heavy 😂

[@dustinhankins2153]

Would like to see your thoughts on the commander pro mini.

[@realreactionn]

I want to see you traveling the country on your electric unicycle

[@dnut999]

Try out the new race firmware for the EX30 if you haven’t already. You’ll love it.

[@tylerdorminey1910]

Which firmware are you referring to?

[@dnut999]

@@tylerdorminey1910 It’s listed as Current_Mode_Race_Mode_No_Dip firmware in the Begode App. Your wheel will idle louder, but the power gains from this firmware will make the EX30 feel like a totally different wheel.

Sweet, I am sold!What tire are you getting?

[@UStride]

Michelin street pilot

[@DEFACTO9]

Fantastic review. I’ve been waiting for somebody to do this review. I don’t know why nobody has. You confirmed my suspicions. This is the number one wheel right now with heritage “ DNA”. But that tyre 😢. But which tyre to replace it?

[@UStride]

Heritage DNA. I like that

[@nelson2095]

I've seen a few reviews where they have issues with the exposed areas between the top cover and the battery case affecting the handling, mostly during high speed runs. Do you have any issues on this? Otherwise, great review as always.

[@UStride]

Haven't seen this issue yet

[@mikeh6286]

I don't know how portable 46kg are. 😄 But I like the 18in motors more than 20in. I guess that's what you mean.

[@ranchranchers9587]

I thought 80 mps on the 50mph speed test seemed quite good, seemed efficient, just an opinion. See the negitive 10 amps just before take off from regen ha cool stuff.

[@UStride]

Nice observation

[@indianaeuc7617]

Just received my from Alien Rides I love it, but I just can’t extract all the torque. I really need a pad set up. I don’t know how you are able to get it to accelerate with the stock pads

Really well thought out arguments/opinions and top notch riding footage! I still cannot believe you get the wheels this late in the rotation! Especially when your riding experience is so good! Little biased here cause I do have the EX30 as my first suspension wheel. 4600km on it already! Currently I have the top mileage rating on DarknessBot.

[@kaygee1623]

Hi, I would disagree on the portability aspect, with the introduction of suspension, eucs have lost the advantage of portability. As someone else mentioned, the Golden age of eucs is over.

[@UStride]

I'll look into your comment a bit more but I have to push back a bit

[@BegodeEx30]

Well for us newbies into the euc world whom started off with suspension (mine was the v11) we have no experiences with the more portable wheels you speak of so we don't share the dread of loss of portability you have. And while some recommended newbies start with the smaller no suspension wheels hearing the complaints from those who did concerning the heavier suspension wheels I'm kinda glad I have no experience with the earlier smaller nonsuspension wheels; no experience = no comparison = no complaints.

[@indianaeuc7617]

What was your PSI at for your shot shock

[@JonahHax]

I don't understand what you mean by portability? It's easy to get in and out of your trunk?

[@UStride]

Comparing it to the EXN & Sherman, both wheels have a compact size with great overall performance and range. The ex30 keeping the form factor but now includes suspension and a massive battery. This is why I said some normalcy as it is close to what we were used to in the past.

[@tiaguerra7002]

Careful😮

[@UStride]

Always

[@sampolainen]

Has U-stride tried the ex20s? Wondering how it compares to ex30

[@Aggace]

I have a ex20HT and a recently acquired ex30. The ex30 feels very similar to my ex20. Suspension wise and acceleration curve. Ex30 is just faster and has a display. Looks nicer and more aggressive than the ex20.

[@troyb8579]

what psi you said on shock? 360?!

[@RamSees13]

with all the new wheels that stay coming out, i have no desire to upgrade anymore. on the other hand, when i see videos like these, i DO want to upgrade badly haha. so! currently i have a commander, and have actually been able to hit 59.1 mph/101% pwm (per darknessbot, unadjusted, but set for commander).....i was wondering if u were in my position, if size WAS an issue (obv upgrade for me would be a commander pro...but that does come with a slightly bigger form factor - something u address early in the video), sacrificing nothing else, and taking reliability/mtce into account (as in air vs hydraulic suspension), which wheel would you go to if coming from a commander? i have never tried a suspension wheel and i dont know, the added weight of the suspension components just mentally dont compute to me. is it really such a game changer? like im okay to just keep my knees slightly bent at all times lol thx for the vid, just sharing some thoughts.

[@UStride]

I haven't even touched the commander pro but to answer your question coming from the commander, I'd go with a smaller wheel with similar performance if you're replacing it. If you're keeping the commander, then a smaller wheel with similar performance. IMO

[@RamSees13]

@@UStride hmm...i mean...i started on the rs19 when it first came out, and then upgraded to monster pro. different ride feels for sure but completely worth it. im wary about smaller wheel size (as in tire size), because i like going like 35-55mph at all times, and small wheels under that rs19 form factor just does not feel trustworthy..i dno man, youre making a good case for that ex30 tho! kinda feels like a chooch video....but if chooch lived out in the urban parts of new england! -resident of an urban part of new england (nyc)

[@MikaelLevoniemi]

How's the trolley handle design in this wheel, can it be used with one finger like in RS?

[@Index-o1234]

I think a personal transportation plateflorm was what the Creators where originally aiming for, add in waterproofing (it's electric after all 🤷🏻‍♂️) suspension, range, total battery capacity (fuel) with a redundant BMS system and it has come a long long way on an evolutionary scale in a shorttime frame. Einstiens observations- a plateform moving threw time from point A. to point B. does in fact shorten time which adds to your productivity.
