Veteran Lynx Electric Wheel Review - Initial Impressions

[@mikewatt3147]

I truly appreciate all the help and advice from Eevees’s over the seasons. PEV/EUC has given back so much joy in my life. Thank you for your continued dedication in serving a growing community in Vancouver BC and abroad. Ps. ♠️Looking forward to my next Veteran ♠️

[@samuelju9247]

Great first impression video. Lynx set up a new standard that powerful wheels do not need to be super heavy. looking forward to the detail review as other eevee's reviews.

[@AlexA-dv9rl]

Damn; Koda's impression on the Lynx was amazing. Can't wait to see more videos with Koda!

[@eevees]

Where's the love for Bradley? Everyone just looooooves Koda so much. Geeze. 🤪

[@Xasukis]

what Helmet is Gabe using it looks fantastic thank you for sharing the video :)

[@vafixer8885]

its very nice to see the comparison between this and the V14...i might pay the extra 1k for this now.

[@MarioMadness1]

I'd love one of these. they seems quite customizable and VERY fast !! but you gotta wear lag guards, shoulder/chest guards and there is a skill when riding a unicycle

[@omidel.]

Gabe...the last guy nails it....the emotions he gave me just make me sell all the current wheels and buy the lynx.....

[@eevees]

Honestly, might be the wheel to replace all your wheels

[@roghaj]

@@eeveesSwiss army knife of wheels except a swiss army knife is kinda bad at everything and the Lynx is good at everything.

[@murdomeek]

@@roghaj but it kinda is though. long range rides? master pro jumps and off road? extreme ultra portable? mten4/A2 If you can only have one euc, this would be the best all rounder for sure

[@gabinator1177]

@@murdomeekI haven’t done any hardcore trails yet, but this might take the cake over the extreme or the Patton for me. The 20” tire makes it easier to ride over bumps. It has the same, if not more climbing ability than the Extrme, and with the new progressive springs it won’t bottom out as easily as the Patton while still matching its eternal smoothness.

[@roghaj]

I love this wheel too. So fun. Climbs walls.

[@eevees]

Love to hear this! It's such a beast!

[@roghaj]

@@gabinator1177 missing you guys!

[@samuelju9247]

For Lynx, the hype is real, for V14, the hype is only on advertising ( may come true after few batches correction I guess)

[@MySonNamedBort]

Was going to get an Extreme but now I might have to splurge.

[@revolutionaries-Today]

Shots taken at the adventure suspension 😂… all in good fun, I too think this is my next wheel and first Leaperkim as I use to buy begode, & have s22 its time for a Veteran wheel… I am not an inmotion fan but/c the torque has never lived up to the marketing with them… they claim all this power yet most riders claim the highly touted by some “adventure” isnt in the same league for torque as the patton… anyway as a big rider Leaperkim Lynx looks like a solid choice.

[@eevees]

haha we just say it how it is. The Lynx's new progressive suspension system has really changed the game.

[@naaspam1185]

The V14 will likely be pretty solid when the suspension is tuned for the rider, but the suspension type will never be as plush as this type. Definitely won't be as good as the Lynx overall, but then the Lynx does cost $900 (28%) more. LK isn't really known for discounting wheels like Inmotion is either, so chances are we'll see some steep discounts on the V14. The V12 is already down around the $1800 mark and the V13 is currently $3300, only $100 more than the V14. I'll bet we'll see the V14 discounted to the $2500-$2700 mark within the next year. The Lynx may not see any price cuts.

[@revolutionaries-Today]

@@naaspam1185 all u said is true and if you are the person that loves inmotion then thats awesome and you will “i’m sure” love the v14.i never was a brand guy i usually;lly bought begode for price to performance but had a problem recently with firmware blowing my board and batteries so i just am tired of waiting for the parts as this is taking forever with begode to replace the batteries… i may get the lynx as a bigger rider that wants to try a LK wheel. Anyway … inmotion are usually fantastic on the build quality just not my cup of tea YET… maybe a future wheel.. enjoy

[@mikeintampa250]

I like the gamer-inspired rider introductions!

[@eevees]

Thanks Mike!

[@curtflirt2]

Alot a of people compare this with the Patton in ways. Gabe was solid here!!

[@federaldelii]

This is very enjoyable review I’ve seen on KZbin 💯👏🏻👍🏻

[@wutruriding1355]

I’m still holding out to c Begode’s response to the Lynx but admit it’s tempting.

[@RTS_2008]

Really curious what the range is like on this wheel. A 151 Volt system with a 2700 watt hour battery pack just gives me the impression that the battery is gonna drain QUICK. Especially if you’re the type of person that rides hard.

[@eevees]

Surprisingly, and even with some spirited riding, we’ve been able to get around 80km in the cold (~3deg C). When the riding season rolls around again, you can expect to see 100km or more!

[@c4ristopher]

​@@eevees do you think someone who's 240lbs (110kg) could get 50 miles (80km) on a fairly normal ride, staying around 35 to 40mph (55 to 65kmh)?

[@eevees]

@@c4ristopher It would be tight. Most likely possible if the conditions are ideal (warm weather, flat ground, no aggressive acceleration).

[@c4ristopher]

@@eevees thank you for the response!

[@eevees]

@@c4ristopher No problem! Sorry for the late response, I was out of the country for a few weeks.

[@stradagos1]

I want it. This might actually be the wheel that finally convinces me to sell my motorcycle... and I looove my motorcycle.

[@gavinzooms]

Haha, I’m trying to afford a motorcycle right now as we speak, but I have a Patton. I’d really really like to keep both, but I may have to sell the wheel to afford the bike. I’ll miss my offroad adventures, but I’m a big adrenaline junky so the speed of a motorcycle may be what I ultimately want most

[@flowsolo]

no adrenaline rush like taking a unicycle up to 60mph though lol @@gavinzooms

[@gavinzooms]

@@flowsolo I’ve been at 50mph on my Patton and since I ride with traffic I’ve kinda gotten used to it; I’m sure I’d get used to 60 too with time. I feel like a bike is the endgame for adrenaline chasers lmao but an euc is still wild not having full trust in a one-wheeled machine to keep you upright like a reliable two wheeled machine

[@eevees]

haha yes! Let's go!!

[@curtflirt2]

Do not sell your motorcycle, just save up, trust and believe

[@doctorpd1959]

Kate and Gabe, how tall and heavy are you? I am a small rider so I want to know if I should get the Lynx or should get a smaller wheel. Thanks.

[@gabinator1177]

Not sure about Kate, but I’m (Gabe) 5’5 and 155lb without gear on.

[@doctorpd1959]

@@gabinator1177 I know that you are a much better rider than me but it gives me hope that I can ride the Lynx also since I am also 5'5" but only 140 lbs. I currently ride my Sherman Max and Begode Master. Both wheels are smaller than the Lynx.

[@gabinator1177]

@@doctorpd1959 I have a friend who’s 5’2 and rides a master pro. Body to wheel size becomes a non issue after enough time on a wheel. And even though the lynx is larger than those two, it actually feels a lot lighter of a ride thanks to how torquey and responsive it is.

[@dirt.surfer]

I can't wait for this. It will replace my POS s22

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

it looks like such a solid wheel! the one thing that disappoints me is that apparently they used a low quality material that strips really easily just like the patton

[@naaspam1185]

I believe the complaint on the Patton with stripping was due to the aluminum battery cases. This is using Magnesium battery cases like the Sherman-S.

[@KaizenOz]

@@naaspam1185 are you 100% sure? early info only mentioned magnesium motor

[@naaspam1185]

@@KaizenOz The Lynx has magnesium in the motor and supposedly a magnesium wheel. Explains how they were able to keep the weight down. Magnesium is a lighter and stronger metal than aluminum, so it shouldn't strip easily. I haven't heard of any issues on the Lynx with stripping, but there have been reports of the magnesium corroding the wheel on the tubeless tire because of the compound they're using to install it.

[@futuremaneuc]

The weight to power.. omg! makes me want to upgrade!!

[@Bearkat73]

How does the torque feel compared to the 4kW S22? The Lynx looks really good but I hesitate based on the low wattage motor compared to my S22 Pro.

[@EUCbird]

I watched my friend go up 2 flights of stairs at walking speed and he weighs over 200lb. It's real

[@TheThunderwars]

Honestly the motor's wattage is irrelevant. Veteran seems to underpromise and over deliver. This motor delivers 8kw peak, the 3.2kw advertised as nominal isn't really a useful value. You are never using more than 3kw at cruising speed. You only need power to keep you upright when accelerating during transient demand of power. The higher voltage on the lynx enables you to pump a lot of current at any rpm. I would think that the lynx 3.2kw is much more IRL power than KS 4kw.

[@majestikvisions]

Another great vid guys! Question re pads.. would the upper front of a Large Grizzla pad fit the Lynx (above the foot lock)?

[@eevees]

We’re running the large Grizzla Flows, and they do fit, but the front corner does hang off the bumper a little if you prefer a more forward angle pad setup.

[@JonahHax]

2 videos without Lukas now? Should we be worried?

[@matf4505]

Something definitely feels weird here

[@eevees]

He's taking a step back from the videos as we change our video format as we try to release videos more efficiently. You still might see him in the odd cameo ;)

[@cocoabiscuits]

I think this one will be my first EUC ever.

[@AereForst]

Great review 👏🏻👏🏻 For mostly street riding do you recommend the street wheel or do you think the knobby tire would be better for the sake of versatility?

[@Tre_Notes]

The reactions in this are a far cry from the initial “meh” impressions you guys had of the V14 and that’s the one I ordered 😅

[@s0d4c4n]

I think the only reason the V14 is meh is because the Lynx came out at the same time. I pulled the trigger on the V14 because I told myself I didn't want a 20" wheel, and certainly didn't want to spend an extra $1000 for it. Now of course they're saying the Lynx feels as nimble like a 16", sigh. But I was just riding my v12 today and loved it. FOMO aside, I'm sure I'm going to love my V14 too. I couldn't really pick out many concrete criticisms of the V14 from the other vid. Mostly "it's a great wheel, just not for me" which I read as just a personal preference/acclimation rather than flaws.

[@Tre_Notes]

@@s0d4c4n yeah I’m gonna stick with my v14 as well. I would have it by now but I chose to wait for the 50S battery pack version. I’m currently on the KS16X and I’ve never rode anything else. So either way, no matter what I ended up choosing, it was a massive upgrade for me nonetheless. But it’s like, OF COURSE the one I choose is the one that’s currently having issues

[@boblatkey7160]

I canceled my order for the V 14 and got Lynx. It just rips and carbs on the street and it's an absolute beast off-road and it doesn't feel like a super big wheel when you're cruising dirt trails. I absolutely love it.

[@ferndawg665]

What shock are you guys riding in this video???

[@eevees]

It's the 62LB but it's different than the Patton and Sherman-S because it's their new progressive spring inside.

[@veymaxboard]

How to collab?

[@Vesataeuc]

does it have a waterproof rating?

[@flowsolo]

there's video of the manufacturers / testers taking it through a small river

[@eevees]

Not technically but under the hood it looks pretty water resistant. We never use the word waterproof in this industry.

[@naaspam1185]

@@eevees When all non-IP rated PEVs are blanket banned in places like NYC and other apartment complexes due to insurers refusing to insure the buildings, and people living in those places flood the market with cheap used wheels, maybe then these OEMs will start thinking about spending the money on certifying their wheels against water intrusion and fires.

[@Vesataeuc]

I know the video :)I wanted to know if it has official one like inmortion v13. @@flowsolo

[@Vesataeuc]

Thanks for the feedback. I do have to disagree at some point. Inmotion v13,v14 does have IP rating same as A2. I do see your point as a seller. It's not preferable to ride in the rain or rivers etc. Can't wait for the actual full review. You guys are making them super knowledgeable and fun at the same time (Best EUC Reviewers).@@eevees

[@neilgutteridge6405]

I don't see anyone moaning about the 2700 battery like they did with the abrams??

[@washboards]

How come eBikes seem so under powered compaiered to a lot of EUC’s?

[@mcfly_ev]

What suspension is on your test wheel? There seems to be a lot of talk about the 70lb being excessively firm for normal riding conditions, but I haven’t actually seen anyone riding one besides Jack. I appreciate any input y’all have.

[@gabinator1177]

We were sent the 62lb spring and so far I’ve only been able to bottom it out once, dropping from the top of one of those stair sets to the floor down below without touching any steps. As a 155lb rider, I think the 66lb spring would be nearly impossible for me to bottom out unless you threw me off a cliff.

[@mcfly_ev]

@@gabinator1177 Thank you Gabe, I’m about 210lbs, and am torn between the 66lb and 70lb.

[@MarioMadness1]

@@mcfly_ev I'd maybe go the higher tension spring. it seems very "soft"

[@gabinator1177]

@@mcfly_ev Hmm yeah seems like you’re in the sweet spot between both. I’d say if most of your riding is street, go with the 66, but if you want to do a lot of big drops and trails, get the 70.

@@gabinator1177 Thank you!

[@usmcmsgt5487]

If I bought this for $4000 as a noobie, how long would it take me to learn to ride this...?

[@Pounderino]

I’m thinking the lynx, Sherman S or the ex30 from you guys. I want the range and the speed. What would you guys recommend?

[@eevees]

The Sherman-S for added range and still great speed or the Lynx if you want even more speed and power with slightly less range. The range difference isn't huge so personally I would go for the Lynx.

[@Pounderino]

Thanks for the reply so quick. I bought a used Sherman max to learn on. Now that I’ll buy a suspension wheel I want to give the Sherman max to by friend. So I wanted similar range.. do you think the lynx can keep up?

[@eevees]

@@Pounderino We give the range of the Sherman Max 100-120km and the Lynx 80-100km so we predict you'll lose about ~10-20km making the switch but the benefits of the Lynx outweigh the range loss in my opinion

[@Pounderino]

@@eeveesone more question before I pull the trigger. Would you say Sherman-s or lynx? Is the lynx that much better that I would give up the extra range? I just lined up the funds in my account so I am looking to order.

[@eevees]

@@Pounderino Yeah, the performance of the Lynx makes up for the range for sure. I'd personally go for the Lynx but if you're more of a city cruiser or explorer that likes to do longer rides on mostly pavement, you could get away with the Sherman-S. The Lynx is a better all-around wheel though.

[@KevinRedmondWA]

Yes, it has progressive springs though so it's different (better) than the Sherman-S and Patton 62LB suspension.

I think it might take some from Begode but Begode still has that enthusiast market that allows Begode wheels to be more customizable.

[@PurpleRider]

Good point@@eevees

[@naaspam1185]

Can get a V4 Master for like $2200 from 'certain' sellers. $2000 cheaper than the Lynx. Lynx will obviously be a better overall product, but pricey pricey!

[@PurpleRider]

Yea I agree. I want reliability and I also want performance and value. The Begode Nikola+ has surpassed my expectations personally. @@naaspam1185

[@waymorhd]

Im 225lbs without gear. What pound suspension should I go with ?

[@eevees]

The 70lbs suspension would be the best fit for you!

[@waymorhd]

Thanks. Looks like an awesome wheel

[@QQ251647742]

So the V14 cannot go upstairs?

[@eevees]

It can but it would be difficult to be able to pull of stairs as big as the ones Gabe did

[@gabinator1177]

A more skilled rider at tackling stairs could probably do it. I’ve seen videos. But these stairs have gaps between them significant enough that the smaller tire couldn’t easily find grip on the next step and instead started spinning out. This highlights the benefits of a 20” wheel over 18”, but unlike a lot of 20” wheels that feel heavy and sluggish, the lynx has the nimbleness and responsiveness of a smaller wheel.
