Great video. Now you can do this for all new wheels that you sell 👍

[@eevees]

I think we will start making this a habit with our new repair centre and extra space

[@projectitis]

Agree! Would love to see a T4 teardown.

[@narrowpath2980]

With that price tag waterproofing should be a number 1 priority. Pedals seem a bit gimmicky , but who knows , might turn out to be a winner. More testing needed 😊 Thank you for doing this very informative video , I vote for giving the people what they want, YO!

[@maximlapshaev]

Good job, thanks.

[@driveandjump]

Do they even test these wheels themselves? Seems like a lot of points of negative you can see

[@Lee.Davis_onesandzeros]

Nice,but I don't see $4000 worth of anything

[@jgray1308]

Very thorough and informative! I hope you can get Albert to lead more teardown videos.

[@wutruriding1355]

For me to buy this wheel at that price, I want much better waterproofing with proper quality gaskets around the motherboard and easier tire change. All else looks promising but holding out for more testing. Thanks guys, very informative! Also, I noticed Lucas dyed his mustache in the last video, no way it grew that much in a few days… nice try.

[@lukastanasiuk5722]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

[@CaptainCandycorn]

Huh. To be honest I expected things to be a bit better up close. More silicone, proper hex bolts, etc. Overall its definitely a good wheel, and for $3200 from aliexpress id say its worth it. But for 4200 I think its sub standard.

[@eevees]

Keep in mind, this is a pre-production model. Veteran is taking our feedback before going into production.

[@keviny7963]

I wish EUC companies would make tire changes easier.

[@milordas]

yah, why not mounting connectors in place witgout going to controller box. Thats more actual on OG or Max Sherman, as there is plenty of room

[@ZenLee]

outstanding, glad you guys are doing these breakdowns.

[@eevees]

Thanks Zen!

[@VinnyVonPapier]

Really appreciate you doing the tear downs, especially with someone as knowledgeable as Albert, as it gives us all a better understanding of where our money is going and shows the commitment to transparency. It also allows for a stronger relationship between consumers and the manufacturers, and that is a relationship that benefits everyone.

[@fizzenfilm5881]

If you have to do all this just for a flat tire this will sadly be a dealbreaker for me, I hope they come up with a easier way to change the tire.

[@TheTrevorski]

Dude this video gave me life. I love this channel. Thank you for giving us info on this wheel. So sick!!!

[@eevees]

Thanks Trevor! We appreciate you watching!

[@BigBoss-gb4cx]

Honestly, for that price I expected better quality. There was quite a bit of wear inside even though it has been used only for a couple days. The water isolation is not great either and it's hard to change tire. The pedal design isnt well thought either. And no smart BMS neither. The front handle which was metal in Sherman seems plastic... Which would easily break in case of a crash.

[@eevees]

Keep in mind, this is a pre-production model. Veteran is taking our feedback and making changes before going into production.

[@darkstar4494]

You want something to break to absorb the energy of a crash. Plastic parts that stick out are smart. They will be cheap and easy to replace. It’s metal where it needs to be. So far so good.

[@Hunter_Heart]

@@darkstar4494 No, you don't want anything to break. Build a hard shell to take the blunt and outer rubber to absorb the shocks. Build a PVC plates for the battery packs and rubberized the outer shell.

[@BigBoss-gb4cx]

@@eevees Well, I hope so, but Im skeptical if they really will do work on it. They might, they might not (hopeful not the later). But even so, it is possible that we get a "fixed" wheel only six months later. I really hope they fix those problems, because imo compared to other EUCs or the max right now it shouldn't be 4100+ usd.

[@eevees]

@@BigBoss-gb4cx I can’t think of a better teardown on any other new wheel. No major concerns. We just pointed out any possible negative we could find. Personally, the teardown has got me more excited about the reliability of the Sherman-S.

[@JeskaRain]

Most of it looks good but the exposed wires at the bottom underneath the foot plates like wtf?!

[@noonoo4774]

Could you please ask LeaperKim about the two shocks working independently and potentially twisting or warping the chassis over time? This was a concern that Wrong Way brought forward in his video. Thanks

[@philamonhemstreet8632]

Those pedals look like trash. I miss the parts on frame design. No gasket on control board sucks. Idk. Not a fan of many of these compromises.

[@eevees]

Keep in mind, this is a pre-production model. Veteran is taking our feedback and making changes before going into production.

[@mcfly_ev]

No biggie Nylonove will make a set.

[@jonwall4994]

@@mcfly_ev I hope so

[@mcfly_ev]

@@jonwall4994 they usually do right around when the wheel is released.

[@jonwall4994]

these pedals are a swing and a miss. Way over complicated. The clutching mech doesn't stand a chance without added attention. Length adjustment is just not needed and at how much weight penalty for the added hardware? Angle adjustment and Replaceable threaded pins is all thats needed. Maybe Nylonove will make an improvement set. Maybe just like the suspension colab, they should do a pedal colab?

[@hdhfdhddhdk]

Picky customers are the ones that help make good products.

[@groundcontrolgainesville4841]

Albert was very excellent. There are many issues that are concerning with the wheel and I don't see them redesigning to fix them.

[@GTADroneTours]

So no smart BMS and no quick tire change. The v13 seems to be the better wheel so far other than range.

[@Hunter_Heart]

Don't hold your breath, V13's suspension is mediocre that it was not even made it on the bullet points of their presentation.

[@eevees]

Time will tell

[@dirt.surfer]

Good point Wen a BMS needs to be standard practice on these. I wouldn't be concerned about tire change time taking the tire off and putting another on blows enough I would be less concerned about getting to it imo

[@Simonisms]

Thanks guys ✌️ Very informative. The structure is fascinating. Many parts hanging off other parts, that will be putting a lot of stress on certain bolt points. Also areas already worn from friction, and there were metal flakes from the screw removal. Hopefully Leaperkim will address the issues in this prototype and nail the final version. It's by far the most expensive 100v wheel and every part should reflect that in the quality. (I'm sure that Leaperkim has a plaque on the wall that reads 'Remember the Abrams...'

[@davewood1982]

No easy access to the tire ffs....And just like that the sherman s is off my list, what a ball ache just to change a tire or fix a puncture....

[@prayformywheels]

The Sherman S will pair well with my Master Pro! All the screws should be hex. Veteran definitely should make accessing the tire easier.

[@roghaj]

These guys know their stuff!

[@eevees]

Albert knows his stuff. Me on the other hand…. 😂

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Too bad kingsong didn't consult with a suspension company like Sherman did, 👍 total professionally done... Now if we can get a suspension company design a mono arm suspension for an euc.... Easy access to the tire/motor... All the more reason to have a tubeless tire...

[@AG.Floats]

I have a slight knock in my Suspension some play. Where should I start lol

[@Mpower31]

That tire change looks like a painnnnnn.

[@wattssingletrack8874]

Awesome video thanks guys ! My only concern is the battery wire connecting the packs together at the bottom. I wish they could find a way to relocate that wire towards the top end up by controller vs down where rocks could potentially hit

[@mexicanbatman666]

To me it’s a turd rolled in glitter

[@brn41306]

Hope companies will take notice if you continue to open up new wheels and improvements will be made knowing this. Thank you!

[@csnurse]

Hey Eevee’s, I’m new to EUC. With the high price tag of these EUC its concerning seeing plastic zip ties inside the motors especially when you hear issues with the motors failing. I’m sure there’s a better way of securing the motor wires. Plastic zip ties will eventually get brittle and shatter.

[@jltplease]

Thank you for this teardown. Hopefully Leaperkim will release a more efficient video to get to the tire. Looking forward to the V13 teardown (if there will be one)

[@Fixingthingz4u]

Thanks for the transparency after this video i def wont be getting one no water proofing and using xt60 connectors bad pcb board placement no gaskets etc etc .... Come on Kawasaki,Honda or Suzuki get on to making EUC they would do well :)

[@WILSONsHobbies]

Albert, good job explaining. Good tear down

[@skiddysm]

Begodes watching this and writing down notes

[@victor9]

If they give it even an IPX4 rating this will be perfect.

[@PhobosNoz]

Thanks for this video. Since you've performed it on a preproduction model, you said a lot of things weren't final. The wheel has been out for a while now, could you comment on the changes that were made for production?

[@eevees]

Great question. To our surprise, they didn’t change anything.

[@rbtectur]

Can you please imagine yourself changing a tyre on that? Because I can't... 😉

[@manuelsanudoguerreira7319]

Minor issues to improve,really... Still I hope they really do listen to you, guys.Good job, this effort you made showing the tear down is most desirable. Now, do you think getting rid of Sherman's legendary bars will hold up on this new device? This new wonder seems to be a little naked without them so to bear the brunt of further agression...And they added a real strong block sensation of stability I truly wish I won't miss in the model S. Not to mention rigidity and protection for this awesome new beast...!

[@Ubeogesh]

So far I like it more than Challenger - I really hate Challenger's design where battery is glued into the side panels, so if you wanna replace the side panels you have to replace the battery as well (this is nuts)

[@yeahbuddy6852]

Its just Crazy to buy at that price 🤯

[@banzaibob6569]

You tore it down...now tear it up! Looking forward to Monday's video. Thx!

[@adel8841]

Great job on the teardown, looking forward for your stress test video.

[@jonwall4994]

Good job Albert. More of his input please . Nice to see that gimmick taillight is just a plug in and easily replaced. Disappointing to see all those rub points that need to be clearanced. Philips screws anywhere on a wheel of this price point WTF? The trolley handle looks questionable. This looks ruff and unfinished definitely not a finished product

[@eevees]

Correct. This is a pre-production version. Refinements will be made based on our feedback to Veteran for the production version.

[@Hunter_Heart]

Only the teardown tells the full story of the build quality of the product. Be skepitcal of all the flashiness of its appearance.

[@whitecrow984]

pls guys lets push Linea and the peeps from leaperkim to make sherman S next batch higher voltage looks like the wheel is just dope. as a sherman rider myself my only issue with the S is why stil 100V....... not getting higher voltage?????????? PLEASE LEAPERKIM MAKE THE S 134V... I wish they would give it more battery aswell but hey making the perfect wheel would be counterproductive just pls GIVE SHERMAN S HIGHER VOLTAGEEEEEEEEEEEEE and i will buy it

[@FinnBjerke]

I need to change tube on my Sherman S --- going thru all these operations just to change tire or tube is ridiculous.

[@keokio7]

i built an ebike about 15 years ago when everything was DIY. I was never really fond on direct drive hub motors because of how they shaved down the axle flat with the wire coming out of it and bolting it onto a bicycle frame hoping for the best. That was all you had back then. Looking at this, it looks like those days are long gone. Four big bolts directly onto the axle, doesn't look like a mickey mouse job some dude put together while drunk. I like it

[@annabaranova5811]

Very interesting video. I'm actually concerned about the friction between the lower part of suspension attached to the motor and the inner shell. Another person already reported the same problem. I think it come from a suspension bending and the U form not being as stable as it should be. What do you think ? Will it be problematic after 5000km? 10000? Thanks

[@lunchymunchy2984]

So what were those siliconed cables in side the hub/motor? Also what goo if any would you use when reassembling the hub? Super informative video btw, thankl🙏🏻

[@grb1969]

Hell No to proprietary pedals.

[@coolhawk2003]

Do the bearing have gear in them? Looks like the shocks should be connected on the top as well. When you turn, you're going to be putting flex on it, and the top keeps it together, so you are making a big leverage spot. Looks good tho . I may just be over thinking it

[@swiftadventurer]

like a good-cop, bad-cop routine... one guy trumps how good the wheel is followed by the other guy who says, well not really.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great look at the wheel. I am looking to get out of computer servicing, I really enjoyed working on my own wheels, let me know if you looking for a tech in the TO/GTA area. I can fix just about anything. Cheers

[@Laenthal]

The only two things that attract attention is hydraulics and magnesium plating. The rest is just.. eh.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Great tear down. Love that you did it so I don't have to, I know what to expect... 👊

[@Papalou1234]

No offense but you should let Albert do the video alone and talk and explain to us like Kevin does more simple to follow theyre no need of peoples talking to each others nice video very informative....

[@QQ251647742]

19:55 Does that rubber seal really prevent water from getting into the motor? It looks quite loose.

[@FabioBatSilva]

With this new connector is it just power going into the control board? No bms communication ? 😰

[@DardanAirlines]

Looks high quality. The cables behind the pedals are a little concerning, though.

[@4Y4ZATA]

someone said these have gyroscope that balances you sideways 🤔

[@theodoresmith3353]

What is the deal with everyone shipping knobby tires??

[@micaelpetrovih7072]

Наконец то! Нормально сделанный вал и Нормальные подшипники!👍

[@wattssingletrack8874]

They still using bamboo in their motors 😂 hahaha

[@alexutlang]

Looks like a maintenance free suspension. Exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for this tear down

[@ETAonTheEUC]

Great breakdown. Thanks for showing us!

[@jakeeaves218]

yea....no way Im doing all of that to change a tire

[@tedraymundo9283]

Such a well done breakdown. Great work guys. Thank you.

[@lukastanasiuk5722]

Thanks for watching!

[@subliminalpain]

Introduction complete.. Teardown complete... time for a speed and range test.

[@eevees]

Speed test is happening today. Range test will come later.

[@DUSTINKENNEDY383]

🤘🤙🧡

[@MitchG]

Way over engineered. So many screws and covers and parts. It looks like one of the best quality wheels ever made though.

[@tmppx777]

What battery cells does it have?

[@franciscosevillano9787]

would anybody please tell me where to buy a battery pack for a Sherman S ?

Anyone want to buy a V11? 😄

[@thewheelhenry]

👏 👏 👏 Thanks for this 😊😊😊

[@A-Viking]

is that the right way round?

[@joshuajones6113]

Great review guys. Thank you. Overall looks promising. Do wish EUC's would work on better/real gaskets. Drives me nuts on my other wheels...Begode, Kingsong, Veteran all.

[@justinspirational]

I still don't understand why anyone would want a 100v wheel at this price when begode and inmotion are offering so much more performance for a similar price.. the quality isn't that much better to justify the price

[@andrewbakker7640]

Loving the content!

[@Lee.Davis_onesandzeros]

The fake bolts on the side remind me of the "off road" on the Abrams. I enjoyed the video it was quite informative the quality I wish was a bit better though for the price we are paying.

[@FinnBjerke]

GREAT video, you guys and wrooooooooooooooongway and Marty are really giving the community a ton of good info. Thank you, Thank you Thank you. btw: I love Canada.

[@tanknd804]

Excellent teardown! And very informative. Albert is very knowledgeable about these things.....and explains things so well! Eevee's videos will undoubtedly make sales soar! And I am glad the manufacturer is listening to you!

[@dluap75]

The main thing that concerns me is the overall structure. Why not have a rigid suspension bridge instead of a convoluted structure connected with bolts? As far as plastic is concerned, if this was made of the polymer found in glocks I’d have now worries about it b

[@Ubeogesh]

Complicated tire change doesn't bother me (yes there're many screws but they're just screws, everything seems to come apart easily) But this custom pedal mount does bother me a lot. I like standardised things.

[@quinnfoster1234]

Congrats on 5K!!

[@mig6220]

What is the purpose of rear lasers? I thought it was on front-as a visual speed warning to the rider.... and Is the kickstand better than the MasPro? You can literally do hand stand on the wheel (Vee did it)

[@ИванИванов-м6ч1о]

Nice. Looks like a finished product, and not like a bunch of stuff picked from whatever was laying in a garage and held together with duct tape

[@omidel.]

Looks like a very beautiful horse who dumps a bit.🤣 thankx guys keep sending them feedback

[@schlumpfen]

Well it's going to require a little work, but nothing like some of the other wheels currently out. A few tweaks and they could have a killer wheel.

[@eucfaxfox]

Thank you for bringing detailed information to me who is planning New Sherman. This video definitely needs to be checked by many riders.🙂❤️

[@krytopi]

Can anyone please send the wheel bearing size for the sherman s. Seems I need to replace it early got the bad batch.

[@eevees]

Go with the SKF 6208 2RS

[@krytopi]

@@eevees Thank you so much for that! 🙂

[@dirt.surfer]

Good video I enjoy teardowns great stuff. I see my s22 box in the back lol. Like your new repair shop, you look busy.

[@grzegorznaskret4453]

Cool design and time will tell if it will last. This is a preproduction wheel so the sealing could be different in production version. I like that they want they own way.

[@Index-o1234]

👍🏻-Thumbs up for leading the industry.

[@TheEVside]

Fantastic video looks solid with a few minor tweaks required

[@Kekafuch]

Great informative video. Lighting in the new shop looks great.

[@zogly9469]

What are the lasers for? I assume they are somehow functional and not just a sexy feature. Are the head and tail lights still easily replaceable like the OG Sherman's?

[@dumbcrumb879]

Seems like just better visability at night. They project red lines on the ground in a v shape behind you.

[@godismeme272]

What's the brand on that workbench?
