Veteran Abrams - COLOSSUS REVIEW

[@PacificNorthwest360]

As a 45 year old veteran, this hobby is going to cut my Drinking off. Been following you over a year and just pulled the trigger on a Nice Wheel. Thank you brother Olympia WA

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

Hell yeah brother! I'm 48 and just retired with 24 yrs of service. I'm seriously considering the Sherman Max or V13 for my second wheel in the near future!

[@steveo6034]

@@Hangin_With_Shane awesome! Get the Max!! I have a Sherman and my V11 collects dust!! Sherman is an amazing cruiser!

[@AG.Floats]

I vote for Sherman Max as well.

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

@@steveo6034 thank you!

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

@@AG.Floats thank you!

[@wheeliebrady9294]

I am happy with my Abrams.

[@nathanaelmaury8610]

As you said Adam, this is a really good cruser, i have 2000km on it, my daly ride is 140Km, i did test the low speed rang test at 28.6 kmh and i make 141km, remaining 19% battery, that is not a wheel for play around but i belive it is the best available wheel for the moment if you want to travel on it, and yes they must have put more battery, even we have a very good rang already. at 49kmh avg i can make 90km (78kg rider)

[@HuyTran-sk3py]

The pedal dipping is 90% gone after doing FW upgrade to 2.0.11

[@TaiLegend]

Great to know thanks!!!

[@Ylte]

Again, a great review. I'm so glad you have started to focus on safety and adress the issues of EUC's. I have decided not to buy a new EUC, until all the basic safety features, like smart BMS , no dangerous cut outs, strong rims, strong and service friendly cases and I would love to be able to change the tire with ease, are in place. The S20 is somewhat close, but the range is not for me. Keep up the good work of changing the industry, I really appreciate it.

[@dan.t.hillary]

I added a comment below as well, but man, the farther i make it through this video the more I think you got a dud. Is there anyone nearby with another Abrams that you could try?

[@wutruriding1355]

Mountain bikes adopted tubeless tires years ago for the weight savings and ability to run lower air pressure without causing pinch flats. But since the minimum weight savings isn’t significant and can’t run low psi due to soft rims, I don’t believe there’s any advantage of a tubeless tire on a EUC. And yes, they’re still prone to flats. Good review!

[@RonnieRides]

There are downsides to tubeless as well so many mountain bikers don't go for it in reality, optimally you also need to maintain it pretty often

[@Acebean]

they are much less likely to go flat tho but yeah tbh don't think its needed on euc

[@YourAubsome]

I switched to tubeless on my mountain bike then ended up going back to tubes (pros and cons of both). I agree with you there doesn't seem to be any benefit to going tubeless for this unicycle.

[@pdglagger]

About one year ago when I was deciding on a wheel upgrade I just knew I wanted 22", so it was between classic Monster V3 which was available on stock or waiting until Abrams release. I decided for Monster V3 and especially seeing all this I regret nothing. Really good ride ⚡👍⚡

[@pdglagger]

@@EUCvibes, it has its flaws like poor quality shell or rather small stock battery, but it should be easy to improve. I'm disappointed Begode has discontinued this model...

[@MikeMPharmaCyclist]

@@pdglagger Monster Pro is the new king... I love mine! Solves the battery issue for sure and the 24 inch tire is awesome.

[@pdglagger]

@@MikeMPharmaCyclist, I get your points. Although you get that with 50% more weight and questionable hollow motor quality. I'd love to see updated 22" version.

[@MikeMPharmaCyclist]

@@pdglagger true the wheel is heavier but you also have to understand the vast majority of the weight is from the extra battery capacity so there's no getting around that. I feel like the hollow motor issues have been largely resolved or at least the bearings are much better protected I have three wheels with hollow motor and have never had any issues with any of them. Monster Pro, EXN, and Hero C38. It's nice to not have to worry about an axle bending with these heavy wheels and especially if you're a heavy rider like me around 100 kg.

[@YourAubsome]

The Abrams doesn't make sense..... What were they thinking? I doubt we will ever know.... There are so many reasons not to buy this wheel with all of the others available now. The only reason I could even see for getting this is if you want a huge tire and you don't want a Gotway (Monster Pro).

[@LessBeard]

After watching this review I bought one for cheap commuting, it should be great for this purpose. At £1200 I don't think I've been robbed.

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

Adam, Excellent video and content! I appreciate your new outline with the 6 factor's! You're pushing for EUC safety in the right way! Be well!

[@71Dana]

I own & love my Sherman, so getting the next Leaperkim euc was a no-brainer. However, there is no apparent reason to do so. It is starting to look like the Veteran Sherman was a happy fluke.

[@arevee9429]

You've only had one flat in all the miles you've riden? Lucky you! Try riding in the desert where we don't have to worry about water ingress, but there are thorns everywhere. I won't ride off-road because I don't like fixing flats on EUC's.

[@YourAubsome]

Am I the only one who thinks its dangerous that this wheel is made for high speed riding yet its braking performance is significantly worse than most high performance wheels that don't go as fast? The faster your going to more important it is to be able to stop quickly

[@LessBeard]

With great speed, comes greater responsibility...if you like living with the use of your limbs.

[@privileguan9127]

Another great, detailed and well organized review! I like the simplicity of the wheel (no redundant rgb lighting, bluetooth speakers) but overall i feel like the shell/robustness is a step back.

[@revolucioncoffee3044]

I think there might be something wrong with your abrams. A lot of the behavior you’re talking about isn’t the same on my wheel. There is a huge difference from soft medium and hard modes, it doesn’t dip on acceleration or braking either. The only problem I’ve noticed is dipping in tight turns.

[@dan.t.hillary]

I also don't see any of the pedal dipping behavior, but I'm a lighter rider at 150lbs. And my experience between the Monster and the Abrams is the exact opposite of Adam's: the monster feels sleepy and doesn't want to accelerate, but the Abrams will give me all the acceleration that I ask for.

[@matthewgameroff2344]

Do you have the most recent software? Apparently the most recent software caused some pedal dipping when accelerating

[@revolucioncoffee3044]

I have not updated the firmware

[@ph33rmyl33tskillz]

12:42 those paving stones looks like they're moving with you.

[@bepriceless]

Yeah, pretty cool optical illusion.

[@Mitudom]

Well explained about info for a newbie like me 👏 👌 Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻❣️

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

It seems the Sherman is still the overall king of EUCs. It just had great design and wasn't trying to be fancy. The Sherman is more like a robust army tool, and it really looks like one too. It seems that all the effort for these new wheels is purely aesthetical. Instead of making the wheels better, they just make them "look cooler". It seems they do very little actual design iteration development or even testing. A major red flag that kinda resonates with the pandemic. Too many corners cut.

[@MikeMPharmaCyclist]

I don't view the Sherman as king... for one thing it only has a 2500w motor which is fairly weak for a big, heavy wheel. The EXN has a 2800 watt motor, is considerably cheaper though it does have a slightly smaller battery. The Commander has a 3000w motor (I think, it's at least 2800w), 3600wh battery, and comes in HS or HT variants. Almost everyone I've seen says the Commander feels a lot more agile and powerful than the Sherman. Lastly, you have the beast Monster Pro in a class of its own with a 3500 watt motor, 3600wh battery, and 24 inch tire... Sherman feels like riding a toy after MPro (as does every other smaller wheel). The main pluses of the Sherman are the roll cage and display... personally I don't see what else and I think it's far from king status.

[@MrPoliarinis]

@@MikeMPharmaCyclist motor is not a one and main parameter. It's all about overall package. 2500kw is more than enough, it just hs motor, not ht. Plus keep is weeker motor makes it safer for the battery

[@yusufcanaktas6929]

Great review! Now I have to wait for the S20 review 😅

[@renedugas2396]

I believe that it does not have an engine and battery temperature reader, because these will not overheat due to the design of this wheel. for the additional alarms, I believe that they wanted to keep a single signal per event so as to prevent the user from overriding these and risking a cut off followed by a fall. the fact that the signal is strong and audible tells the user to correct and not to override it

[@joshuajones6113]

Damn. Disappointing. I had high hopes for this wheel. As always, thanks for giving a clear and honest review. I hope they fix everything you brought up!

[@pogartua]

Awesome new logo. Thank you! 🇺🇦

[@aatee5840]

Any updates on this ? Seeing that it's the cheapest long-range wheel it's pretty interesting for many

[@LessBeard]

I'd be interested in any updates too, I've bought one after listening to this review & it only cost £1200. On my 1st ride it hasn't disappointed.

[@BlackoutMusicInc]

Good day wrong way, hope all is well,can you do a video for the big guys who want to buy an euc? I am a big guy about 250lbs and I am interested in an euc but I have no idea what should be a good euc to support my weight and would be a good starter euc for me. Or generally what I should be looking for in an euc.

[@optimusprime6453]

In dry conditions this wheel can make anyone smile !

[@meuconmyeuc1337]

I love your Abrams color choice. =;- )

[@HungrySpinz]

Off road on the side panels but it's just a cruiser wat

[@360vroomers]

Thanks for the honest review! 🇺🇦

[@UnidudeNine]

Do you remove the dust covers on the bearings for inspection? I found out the factory didn't use much grease at all in one of my v11 rims. I'm afraid to remove any more dust covers because it damages them when removed.

[@matthewgameroff2344]

Great review! Very happy I decided on the Sherman over this

[@AG.Floats]

Sherman is just a better all around wheel. Wish I could replace mine with the Max lol

[@seewaldsja]

Just got a king song 16x how much slime should i put in it?Im brand new and dont plan on going over 14mph for abit. 7oz? 6oz?

[@mr_wrongway]

I never use slime so I don’t know :/

[@seewaldsja]

@@mr_wrongway i found a slime calculator online which told me based on width and heigth. Had a breakthru in mounting the thing at low speeds. I shift my body back and forth like its a unicycle for stability until i pick up speed.

[@Loqque]

long story short - for that money, pick sherman. it's just a better wheel.

[@aringarg3420]

so Sherman is better or Abrams, which one should I go with ? I weigh about 60kgs

[@MathieuTechMoto]

Love the sound of your new mic !

[@mr_wrongway]

It’s the same mic :D Maybe I sounded better that day :D

[@renedugas2396]

why is there no cut off video on you tube about segways...?

[@xpertcrush]

I would never drive this on roads, it has zero safety in case of emergency 😣

[@TroyArn]

great overview, thanks. any chance you might also review the sherman max?

[@mr_wrongway]

Thank you! Yes im planning to review the sherman Max

[@MrPoliarinis]

@@mr_wrongway when ? 🙂 need a wheel so interesting is it worth to wait sherman max and suffer all first batches "joys" or get lates sherman 🙂

[@amuzuamuzu9989]

Please it's how much because I need some, and am in Ghana how can I get it

[@grb1969]

Review summary: avoid this model as all costs.

[@jaredboulderterry3912]

So can you still ride while bearings make sounds ?

[@bansteel7898]

Good wheel

[@jerianderson3844]

Is the seat post adjustable?

[@Platypus-Dreams]

Did you paint those colours on

[@oryxone-c3o]

waaay too heavy and 22' is not so convenient for city riding as typical 20'

[@Kekafuch]

It’s more stable for sure. 20” wheel is actually pretty wobbly on some surfaces while braking or turning. 22” on a planned route is safer and faster and more relaxed. Hit a regular pothole and keep going. When banking, can still have more control. This is critical if riding beside cars.

[@MikeMPharmaCyclist]

@@Kekafuch agree but I think if you're worried about stable road riding there's nothing better than the Monster Pro and its 24 inch tire.

[@Kekafuch]

@@MikeMPharmaCyclist The Monster Pro is definitely more compelling with its 3600wh battery. Went with Veteran Abrams cause I was very pleased with the Sherman. Love the look of it and think it has potential for modding.

[@macrain2691]

Дуже дякую

[@staffan78]

Grate thank you! Not a wheel for me.

[@steveo6034]

Imo, its the worst designed wheel yet. The battery cases should be called mud catchers since there's no internal shell.

[@Kekafuch]

The battery cases mate with the inner fender to create the “inner” shell. It’s the same as a shelled wheel except you can take the sides off and wash them. In your shelled wheel, you would take the wheel out and it’s all dirty inside as well.

[@lookin4talentt]

Lol just saw you crack the RIM and calling it a weak rim.. like common even I drive my car very carefully when I go over speed bump let alone dropping that EUC like that.. Nothing is indestructible it all depends on how hard you push it. Even if they were to give you the most durable RIM I am pretty entrain you will drop it from a redicilous height which will cause it to break lol.. You cant do stunts with roles Royce then break it and calling it a weak 🤣

[@DavidLee8.9]

Bro re review plz abrams firmware was updated 2.0.02--->2.0.15

[@TaiLegend]

Absolutely. I want him to have another go at this because the price of the Abrams is really low and bearings/firmware upgraded since this video

[@kingdongo4388]

Yes, there is still hope

[@electric_rider2044]

I am on 2.0.15 on mine with added capacitors. I love it and the raw power is just exciting. I also have the Max, Monster Pro and S22 but Abrams is my favourite.

[@Laenthal]

Makes total sense to see a failure of a wheel in one video together with a failure of politics.

[@justforthetv]

Lol the funny part is that this thing just came out but it's already outdated.

[@TechnoArtilleryWSR]

[@freeforester1717]

Front end impacts have a tendency to snap the front roll-bar retaining screw and bend the roll-bar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKfbqWOKn9dqqq8

[@user-sn9od2cy4v]

You should add blue strips to this EUC to make Ukrainian flag xD

[@HolybasilYT]

The Abrams shows that the original Gotway roots of the company still holds strong. One step forward, two steps back.

[@YourGPT404]

Support Wrong Way, Support Ukraine

[@michaelmercado1953]

Not a fan of your reviews. For one you compare this wheel to wheels that are in a different class. And you said you like the S22 trolley handle over the Abrams. Simply a lie. Although it's objective. There's no way it's true. The rim isn't weak. You simply do things this wheel isn't made for. I believe content creators like you. Over speak. Voice your opinion and dress it as facts vs objective opinion. In return you affect the sales and development of new wheels. 👎

[@Ubeogesh]

what happened to your voice? it feels more... professional and cold and less fun or smth?
