Hsiang can you show us how you installed the Luna seat on your ShermanS, maybe short video ?

[@Everything13ish]

Does this have a better suspension than the Sherman s? I mean you say it's better than the s22 pro but I just don't see that being possible with the cnc sliders that are installed in all the resellers I can find.

[@OWGAC]

@@Everything13ish Veteran runs hydraulic shock so higher density medium which smooth out the travel and make it's harder to bottom out, it's not so much the geometry of the shock but rather then the type. You can swap the s22 shock out for hydraulic and you will get matching performance but it will be even more cost

[@faceofhypershiba3622]

Really good video with very nice editing and presentation. You're easy to follow by ear and enjoyable to watch

[@macswanton9622]

Well done! Please do more onboard commentary, and 30 seconds of out takes at the end would not go amiss. Thanks Hsiang

[@OWGAC]

hmmm.. out takes thats a great idea! =D

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

your videos never miss! i really want to see a high performance non suspension wheel come out again because i feel like they could fit so much into a rs19 size wheel now like a c40 motor, 126v-134v, smart bms, and maybe even more battery and something like that is my dream wheel

[@OWGAC]

I have been selfishly trying to get begode to release a 134v monster v4, so far they have ignored me..

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@OWGAC the thing is that the whole point of not using suspension would be to make a really small wheel so why make a 134v of their biggest non suspension wheel? i know you would love it but it would be VERY niche and probably wouldn’t sell well but a 134v rs or exn with c40 motor would sell very well (at least that is what i think)

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

​@VECTOR Coasters you're not wrong. I love my EXN ht. Often fantasize about swapping it over to HS. But swapping it over to 134v HS and HT at the same time would be epic

[@RoninPyro77]

Its almost as if they actually listened to what the riders want when they made it. Lets just hope the build quality is improved as well.

[@MikaelLevoniemi]

One comment about difficulties in pivoting a rear handlebar device is not to forcibly pivot from the handle, but rather use a combination of tilting the wheel and pivoting with the handle. Begode users know the drill. It's effortless when done properly and enables very accurate control.

[@icebreaka1969]

the best suspension EUC on the market, 11:00 the motion of the wheel and the shock is doing a perfect job. lovely.

[@opedarin]

Excellent video!! I bought it. I'm waiting for it to arrive.

[@thetastefultoastie6077]

I've heard this myth repeated by a few media influencers, but a higher battery voltage does not drain the battery faster. Power is measured in Watts, and all that matters is the Watts stored in the battery and the Watts used by the motor. A motor which consumes 10A@50V, or 5A@100V are both consuming the same amount of power (500W) and will both drain a 1000Wh battery in 2hrs. The benefit of the higher voltage, is that you can transfer the same amount of power with a lower current (Amps), and produce less waste heat. You can also then use thinner and lighter cables.

[@darkstar4494]

It gives you the potential to drain the battery faster, but as you said, the same motor output at any voltage takes the same amount of current out of the batteries.

[@busybody1474]

Not worth mentioning thinner cables, ridiculously heavy wheel and the higher voltages haven't done diddly-squat to make these wheels lighter

[@grb1969]

This is basically true as a rule of thumb but a higher Voltage motor is slightly more efficient but this is mostly negated by the heavier motor needed for those higher speeds. 😮 In the end, speed is what drains batteries in the fastest/shortest time but its worth it if you’re not going far or want to get there quicker. More is just different but not always better value.

[@OWGAC]

I got 20 miles @ 126v with 2200wh as compared to 100miles (5x) @ 100v on the Sherman with 3600wh (1.6x). I don't doubt that under ideal lab condition what ou said is true, but what I experience in real life does not back up your claim. The ex30 is the exception to this and I don't really understand why either

[@darkstar4494]

@@busybody1474 we wouldn’t expect higher voltages to make wheels feel lighter

Love your videos bro, Always happy to see the new ones. Your videos are always fun And I don't even have a euc nor care that much about what you happen to be reviewing in any specific video haha I don't live a life where I have this kind of disposable income and that doesn't seem like it will change anytime soon so I live vicariously through you guys a bit and appreciate seeing you zipping around and enjoying it so much! And I'm sure I'm not the only one so please keep killing it bro, I only wish you'd put out more content but I'm sure it takes lots of time and effort to produce such quality!!

[@olahindmo7212]

Have you seen the video of the guy from Africa making his own EUC from scrap parts? That is an option if the will is there. Also a used market EUC (say an older tesla or likewise with a battery still up to the mark) could be an option. I cant think they would cost more than maybe 500$ given they were 1000$ new and they are really fun wheels still today (I still ride my Tesla v1.2 in the city as its so darn nimble and you are not allowed to ride faster than 40km/h.in the city streets either way)

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great vid👍 Your trail riding has improved. Cheers

[@BruceWayne15325]

With an IP55 rating and the knobby tires I'm thinking this would be a great replacement 2nd vehicle for the commuter that doesn't quite need the range of a veteran sherman s, but wants to be able to still ride on those snowy days. It's definitely on my radar for sure. I love that they focused on torque rather than top end speed. This really maximizes the performance in the speed range that sensible people actually tend to travel (30-35mph.)

[@prawnshop4573]

Ill wait to get my hands on a refined 2nd or 3rd batch 😁 but i love it 😉

[@arevee9429]

Love my Sherman Max. It wasn't perfect, but I worked through the issues with eWheels and have been happy with them too. Small & suspension is nice. 80 pounds? Less nice. The Max is about as heavy as I'd like to go.

[@OWGAC]

Sherman is still great and yeah the weight, keep in mind that neither Sherman S nor the Patton feels heavier when ridden, only a problem when you have to carry them around.

[@Onelastrun]

I think this wheel is a very legit wheel. The extreme is gonna be a super worthy competitor. Specs alone won't say it all but I do believe which ever rides more stable at higher speeds will be the ultimate winner

[@philamonhemstreet8632]

If you are looking for high speed stability, why are you getting a 16” wheel? 16” should be smaller, lighter, and more nimble. High speed stability is what a 20 or 22” wheel is for.

[@OWGAC]

Biggest problem is that the extreme isn’t coming for another 3 month. With the warm weather coming, who’s willing to wait till fall for their new wheel??

[@Onelastrun]

@Philamon Hemstreet mostly due to my use case. I understand these wheels are for meant for torque for off roading. But still these machines are still capable of going super fast. Safety my friend. Safety.

[@Onelastrun]

@Hsiang good point. But with even that being said, will there be enough pattons to go around? If more than just the enthusiasts purchase the 1st batch, may not be. 😆 and of course same for the extreme.

[@OWGAC]

@@Onelastrun you can’t overcome the physics of less spinning mass, for higher speed an 18” will always be better. If begode drop the battery pack height like they did for the ex30, then maybe but I highly doubt that since that will compromise offroad

[@letssamplethis7641]

@@DangaWaT Good Question! for newer riders just starting out, suspension could be an over all game changer. For Veteran riders owning/riding the the fastest non-suspension wheel is a value that outstrips such a limited suspension wheel. If one must have suspension; For a $1000 - $1600 more one could get a V3 Commander Pro, EX30 or Master Pro with suspension and waaaaaaay better specs. These wheels are luxury items after all.

[@letssamplethis7641]

@@jamesordwayultralightpilot am I understanding your post correctly; Suspension making riding an EUC easier to ride and results in negatively impacting the range of your wheel?

[@Reikon_a]

Nice review! Could you measure its body wideness, I mean the part between legs?

[@martinsaunders2942]

It’s seems like a really nice wheel…however, the current design trend for the industrial look leads to an EUC with a lot of sharp edges that protrude from pretty much every corner of the wheel…I’m thinking front and back carry handles, the suspension mount at the back, kick stands etc…many of which are metal, with hard edges. My concern is that in a fall, particularly a higher speed fall, a wheel of this design and weight could become very dangerous indeed if it hit the rider or a bystander. Those hard metal protrusions would not be causing a few nasty bruises, they would be breaking bones..and very easily!

[@rolleverything]

Great one. Did you wish the pedals were higher when navigating through rocks and roots? The Patton looks like a great trail wheel, but I worry about pedal clip.

[@busybody1474]

Honestly, no matter which wheel you ride you will wish you had more pedal height if you try to tackle any kind of trail.. I still do but I always expect to get thrown off and it does happen, I've caught roots and rocks and even shallow holes that stop the wheel dead but you keep going, learn how to fall 😅 of course there are plenty of paths out there which won't give you any problem

[@rolleverything]

@@busybody1474 I’ve been trail riding with an S18. I like the Patton but moving down to a 16” wheel worries me that pedal clip would be more frequent.

@@rolleverything Patton specs are impressive but an 18 or 20 dia wheel will give a bit more clearance.. King song s22 had a lot of issues but it's more of a trail wheel than Patton in my opinion.

[@domokun091]

I think my only concern is the material it’s made out of, lightweight aircraft aluminum is sturdy but also soft. I’ve seen reviews saying you can easily strip the threads easily just by trying to take a few screws out when trying to swap tires 😬😬 I’m just thinking of the wear and tear it’ll have to endure with everyday use and what that might mean the longer you have it

[@turbolevo8703]

Aircraft aluminium isn’t soft. I work every day with this material. The side frames on this wheel are made of magnesium I think, which is quite soft.

[@privileguan9127]

Seems overall a good allrounder for everyday use, but I'd have like it to have just a tiny bit more range at that weight or a smaller form factor at the capacity. Definitely on my radar. Maybe a 2nd/3rd gen of it.

[@themadchemist2805]

[@YourAubsome]

Thanks for the great review. You make me laugh calling 30 miles tiny range.... I think that the majority of EUC riders never go on a ride that is more than 30 miles at a time. Also if your riding off road, 30 miles would take hours to complete because average speed on MTB trails are typically around 15 MPH and its one hell of a work out compared to riding on the street.

[@esk8unity]

agreed. 30 miles is PLENTY

[@ThePawel36]

30 miles isn't that much, 50 would be perfect though.

[@leopardrules]

I'm new to the sport so I don't go on particularly long rides (yet...?), but one thing I like about range is not having to keep lugging the wheel upstairs and having more power available for longer. It's nice only having to charge the thing once a week even if I'm riding almost every day. I think it starts to make more sense if you look at range as distance between charges rather than the longest you can ride for in one go.

[@milordas]

the problem is - you dont want to recharge it every day or sometimes you cant, so bigger battery is always better, but that increases weight

[@OWGAC]

Keep in mind that peak performance is only for that first 8-10miles, which is another problem, if you insist on doing 45mph that is =)

[@doctorpd1959]

If you are 140 lbs. (like myself), would you get the Patton or the T4? ( if price is no object but ride quality and the better ease of control and handling is the big consideration, especially on trails)

[@lefotografion]

16:04 Yea its not 30% faster then a V11, but 50% faster. also has 46% more battery plus metal structure and way better suspension... I hate the prices just as much, but they have their reasons.

For me it worths to upgrade V11 to Sherman S rather than Patton. Same range as V11 :/

@@mikelo9006 yea no don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the Patton, i just find is funny that hsaing got his % so wrong in his video

V11 max out at 34/5mph so the Patton is actually exactly 30% faster at 45/6mph! but I know everybody will have a different calculation when they compare prices so

[@TheEVside]

Great review

[@gritred5500]

First I love your content.. thanks! So this is a great proposal for me, this wheel. But to keep comments shorter only one question: I noticed wobble? The stance you used is too far forward and I have to ask is that due to the adjustable jump pad being too far forward that (for it to be comfortable and usable) you need a slightly forward stance then you might otherwise need without the jump pad?

[@OWGAC]

It's easier to wobble for the same reason why it's so agile, the Patton is design with most of its mass closer to its centroid so its easier to pivot, so less momentum to keep it on axis but it's well balanced enough that when it does happen the wobbles are predictable and easy to control. But again, at higher speed this becomes more of an issue but I suspect that not a lot of ppl would really ride above 40mph regularly.

[@KaizenOz]

😬 I seem to get wobbles on my V12ht above 40km/h, no issues on the original Sherman, T4 or s22. I pre-ordered the Patton… hoping it wobbles less 😅

[@gritred5500]

I only got the wobbles on my sherman upon heavy emergency stops when I was learning.. I’ve advanced to the point I avoid emergency stops. Turning seems to be the solution. The other issue is train tracking (tremmling). I fear that the most I like to steer not be steered.

Interesting that you call this the best offroad suspension. Do you prefer it to the S22 Pro even with the much shorter travel? How do they compare?

@@OWGAC more interested in jumps capability than the torque as the s22 pro has more than enough (handles 40 degree grade in real life), I do ride in Florida so most my incline are 20-30 feet at a time nd only on trails. i bent my axel and broke my bearing in the v12 HT fairly quick and I need something that can handle to jumps, thats where my issue is the patton goes a bit faster and is more durable when crashed but i dont think as durable when jumped as the s22 dye to the less travel in suspension

​@@benjohngf same! Love the Patton but for me range is the contributing factor to my decision... Sherman S it is! I would love to have both and probably will eventually but often run out of range on V12 fairly easily

[@peterrusso7336]

Someone better make Hsiang with squished cheeks from the full face helmet into a meme

[@tonybello8163]

The bar in front of the charging port kind of protects the charging board.

[@joeguy07]

I’m wanting this but a longer range.

[@OWGAC]

I kinda agree with you but, it would be heavier and more expensive, probably not a lot of people would be willing to deal with that

[@wilsilva8148]

Where’s the best place to buy one?

[@michaeldavidson3349]

Thanks for another great review! Which spring weight is the demo wheel - 62? You mentioned it felt stiffer than your Sherman-S. If you were getting a Patton would you be looking at rhe 62 or the 66 for your personal use?

[@OWGAC]

It's 62 which is also the same as the sherman s demo and my own, so I am pretty familiar with how it feels and some how it feels stiffer on the patton

[@Johnnyboiii]

We need city friendly commuter with range and solid build quality, like v12 but better, it has enough umph out of the city ride, enough range, speed, build quality could be better, suspension too while keeping the weight to 30ish kg

[@OWGAC]

Suspension require stronger casing which adds weight, only way to build a 30kg wheel is to skip suspension but that is a sacrifice few willing to make (they aren’t selling anymore)

[@Johnnyboiii]

@@OWGAC begode t4 is such an appealing wheel but begode quality 😢 not having a service shop in Serbia limits me to inmotion and kingsong latter batches

Hi, I'm about to buy a new unicycle, and here in Brazil, there's only the option of the Sherman S and the Patton. Which of these do you think is better? Which one has the highest torque, highest speed, highest stability, and the most suspension?

[@ElieSentinas]

Beautiful presentation, nevertheless you compare it to the classic Sherman which is not part of the same category or use... at no time do you compare it with the Begode T4 v4 which is much more improved than v1 and above all much more comparable as 16 inches. It's a shame because this is a real dilemma for many people. The two best 16-inchers have a very different price and weight and it would be really interesting to compare them. Personally it's complicated to spend more than 3000 dollars for a 16 inch which is not used to travel too long but to have fun and to be very fun and handy and I think that many users will agree with Me.

[@dirt.surfer]

I liked your comparison to the s22 range is the same. S22 more stable at high speed, but lack the torque. I off-road a s22 every day, I find it good for street and off-road tbh. Lacks range but is light. Btw your off-road game is weak lol😂😂. Thanks for the review.

[@OWGAC]

Lol there's not a lot of offroad trails here so yeah I suck =D

[@dirt.surfer]

@OWGAC hehe, it's ok. Just send that over to Dirt Surfer and let the mountain be the test. After all, it is marketed as an off-road wheel 😀

[@MissDaisyTheRacoon]

I live in New York and met a couple people that know you. How can I come ride with you?... One of the guys mentioned that you're always at HQ?... is that at Tompkins Park?

[@skampster]

I want one, but range is king, I’ll stick with my Max.

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

Begode Extreme. Let the battle begin.

[@RoninPyro77]

Begode already won.

[@fidy8dub]

What are the pads on the Sherman s? Thought they were Clark’s but couldn’t see them on their site

[@HELLCAT7]

Dope vid as always. Question, where'd you get that hoodie and the black and white speckled jacket? Those are Tough!

[@anthonycoffey6565]

Still don't have a wheel yet but was pretty much sold on the V11... But the Patton really seems to be the one to get! ❤ Still wish they would revisit the Abrams & make a Abrams Max, would have been a perfect cruiser wheel for us big boys.

[@darkstar4494]

V11 is a solid choice for a first wheel. It’s also mature meaning less likely to have problems. But if price is not a big factor for you it’s hard to argue against Patton.

[@olahindmo7212]

16" is sightly harder to learn on, as its a bit more unstable, but if you prefer agility over straight forward speed runs, 16" ia the way to go. For me i would never have left 16" but had to since at the time there were no 16" options that oozed quality and performance (only the bigger sherman basically, begode/gotway were all built like toys back then with wood screws, open holes to mobo area, horrible cable management and a lot more. Haven't looked if they changed but my trust is now in Veteran owning both brands and having to heavily modify my Tesla to make it "safe and water proof-ish") As of now i would like to try a v12 or v13 (v13 expensive though). But this one seems EXTREMELY solid, typical Veteran. InMotion is probably safer as a first wheel though due to safety margins (i guess? Maybe veteran followed suite?). The last thing you want to break on any wheel without tiltback active (and working at all battery charge levels) is a broken beeper. Unless you allready tuned warning limits in euc world and drive with one headphone for warnings and music (two would be stupid as you can't hear traffic). Beeps are hard to hear in 60 km/h especially if windy and/or wet so for me its one headphone both on the Sherman and the Tesla.

[@TigerTT]

The V11 is the easiest first wheel to ride. I got mine literally 2 weeks ago and after setting it up, balance felt effortless with that thick 3.0 width tire. Max PSI in the shocks and the tire helped a lot too.

[@etcetera662]

I'm getting about 35 miles of range out of my V12HS with the way I ride. How do you think that would translate to the Patton/S22?
