4000 KM VETERAN LYNX - PERFORMANCE EUC REVIEW

[@mr_wrongway]

Small update on the motor bolt screws. So for the motor screws that go into the axle it’s 18nm for a new bolt (can’t be reused) and 12-17nm if you’re retightening it. 8nm is for the clamp screws

[@jerowee5775]

Is that 18nm wet with blue loctite?

[@stevenmichaelis]

Another fantastic review. The Lynx remains my favorite wheel, and yet I did not know about the "tHo rA" acceleration control feature. The best compliment I know is, "Your video made me want to go out and ride my wheel!" Thank you Adam for your commitment to doing the had work and creating excellent content. I LOVE IT!!!

[@mr_wrongway]

Cheers mate! Your comment is very encouraging! Thanks for being a KZbin supporter for so long too!

Tyres have "beads", rims have "hooks" (or hookless) and "bead seats" that seat the tyre bead. Great video, very informative as usual.

[@mr_wrongway]

Noted! Thanks ;)

[@TheBergMan]

Everything your wheel has been through... sounds just like my Master v3! Haha so glad wheel quality is up across the board! Great for us consumers

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Sand protection is great to hear, especially for me who lives in the Nevada desert. I wish suspension wheels would start coming with boots on their struts, or be designed so aftermarket boots can be used. A dust seal only does so much.

[@MrMalaman]

I put studs (4euros) on my originals pedals. 40min for 2 pedals (drill at 3,5mm et screw directly the studs in). No complains at all, the grip is perfect.

[@mikethewheelchairguy]

[@monarch8188]

Probably my next wheel. I like dirtjumps, and seems like it's the best machine for this

[@Aimaiai]

In my experience, I tried my friend's Lynx and I understand the bounciness, it felt really bouncy but it glides like a motorcycle fork would. People try my ET Max and theyre surprised to feel how smooth it is because when they step on it they sink down a 30% sag which is almost half of the lynx's total travel. IMO the telescopic fork suspension on Leaperkim wheels is as good as the telelever found on other wheels, especially if its an air shock allowing you variable bottom out support too, they just need some dry lubrication around the stanchion bushings to achieve the same responsiveness. The graphite plugged bushings seem to be lacking in their supposed dry lubing capabilities.

[@WrRaThY]

the acceleration assist tip is spot on! I wonder why they don't include this stuff in the app whenever it's possible. it's such a simple change

[@eddy6969100]

Seriously that acceleration assist update really saved the lynx for me , I loved the performace on it but that slight pedal tilt when accelerating and braking made me go nuts . Puting the value to 0 really made me go '' now THERE you go '' . I love the wheel but WHY WASN'T IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ??? Great review as always ! Love the lynx so much more now :)

[@rob8855]

​@@eddy6969100 So you do not like acceleration assist.

[@official.electricdreams]

the acceleration assist is slightly different to the ride mode as explained to me by veteran. Technically having acceleration assist on 0% does not make the pedals harder as its not a direct correlation with ride mode. Acceleration assist leans the wheel forward between 0 to 2degrees and then bounces back(100%= 2 degrees), where as soft ride mode will continue to lean forward.

[@drakoden]

@eddy6969100 dude same I finally got the suspension dialed in and it's a dream

[@lalun8]

In FPV drones, the XT60 port is used, but it needs to be replaced from time to time or the contacts need to be bent because it becomes loose.

[@mr_wrongway]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@victorjasa]

The video from the 53:01 is from Argentina, a friend of mine called Joacym and is in a Begode Extreme… glad you posted but I do not understand the reference if you are talking as a Lynx problem. I saw several videos of this in the Extreme in particular…

Can you make a video about the Insurance that is needed in EU. I think that would be interested for more of us living in the EU countries. The insurance company need the serial number of the unit. Where is it? Another question is if you would put sealant "milk" in the street tubeless tire option in the Lynx, to prevent small punctures. Keep up the good work Adam. Chears.

[@boblatkey7160]

My vote is yes on the tubeless tire sealant. I even run that stuff inside my inner tubes and I never have leaks.

[@tylerdurden9411]

I have a few questions about EUCs. First, which is the EUC with the easiest way to change the tire? And which is the EUC that requires the least maintenance, i.e. less hassle with bolts, less adjustments like spring suspension, etc.? And could we say that EUCs are no longer dangerous to have inside a room, i.e. they don't cause short circuits or fires? And which would be the safest in this regard? Thanks for your videos, I'm thinking of buying one for work and school.

[@lepp_]

[@mr_wrongway]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@ashenfox238]

Very good and informative review - I'm still waiting for the acceleration assist to come to my sherman S. It's a bit ridiculuous that it came to all the other suspension sherman wheels, just not to mine 😭

Hello, have you changed the oil in shock absorbers in your Lynx, and if "yes", how often?

[@MrMawashii]

Beware the wobbles with acceleration assist on 100%... I ride hard and it's great but the Lynx is a different beast with it on.. Edit: You get used to it fast, but man does this mode transform the wheel.. even pendulum moves and other freestyle tricks are much much easier thanks to how much more reactive it is.. Amazing.. well done Leaperkim 👏

[@TheBergMan]

What do you mean?​@@mr_wrongway

[@SamClegg]

I (and others) regularly charge the lynx at 19amps. You can even do 20 at the start of the cycle. I'm not sure where the 15 amp limit you refer to comes from? Maybe it's just a more conservative recommendation?

[@SamClegg]

Great review by the way! Sorry I should have said that first!

[@mr_wrongway]

Hey thanks for your insights! Yeah I pinned the info about motor bolt screws. W wheels says it should not exceed 16A

[@calculatorade]

I'm with you on the pad space. I had the pads as far back as possible and still got sick of the unavoidable pressure against the back of my legs when I have no reason to touch them. I took the back pads off and loved it so much that I later took all the pads off and had the time of my life for about a week, as comfortable and free as can be... til I went too fast over a curb I thought was sloped in an unfamiliar neighborhood at night and bent the hell out of my rim. If I had kept the toe pads on at least, I could have jumped it. Maybe one day, there won't be any trade offs on EUC's. I wish I could have the velcro space of the Extreme Bull GT Pro on every EUC.

[@0xsergy]

I need the back pads for steep offroad descents. I lean into them to keep speeds safe.

Nowadays last crash was maybe a year ago when I didn’t see a cyclist on a turn while riding seated. Pretty much never in usual scenarios

[@skampster]

You’re wrong about the charger on the lynx being a bit dumb in regards to its constantly turning on and off near full charge. I currently have 2 100.8v wheels, the Sherman S and the falcon, of course, as you know when charging the S, the charger turns on and off as the lynx does when near full charge, but the falcon with its own charger does not turn on and off before finishing, it just stops. But if you place the Falcons charger on the Sherman S, it also turns on and off just before finishing just like the LeaperKim charges do. So what does that tell you, it’s not the charger behaving this way it’s the BMS telling the charger how to act. I would suspect a person with the experience you have to at least have looked at this situation before reporting on it. As in the past, you’ve also mentioned that only charging to 80% is better for the battery, which is also incorrect. Charging to 80% is well and good when dealing with one individual cell, but when dealing with groups of cells that need balancing, and you don’t have an active smart BMS to see the current cell voltage individually, you need to charge all these wheels to 100% to enable proper cell balancing. Charging to 100% is only really bad if you leave your wheel constantly in 100% charge status when not riding. You really need to get your facts straight before you post anything Sir.

{ tl;dr. No thanks to higher quality pedals and accessories, please! } I prefer that higher performance wheels come without pedals or pads as this would require riders to choose from several quality aftermarket sources. If all wheels came with higher quality pedals (like Begode) then our favorite aftermarket suppliers might seize to exist, which would be tragic for EUC enthusiasts everywhere. Yes, custom cut Velcro is welcome but NO to pedals, NO to anything other than cheap Power Pads, and NO to 95% of the headlights (especially Begode) because aftermarket lights are also best led left up to the customer’s discretion. If (after 10 years) we still cannot get a decent trolley handle, why distract the designers from their core competencies with the accessories that most would prefer choose for themselves? And, f@ck NO to a OEM seat! Why give customers more to worry about in making the decision between wheels? Aftermarket seats, pads, pedals, headlights (and trolley handles, maybe) should be left out of the new wheels package or made so cheaply that replacement is compulsory for the higher performance riders to choose for themselves. If we’d like something that all wheels should strive for, they should all come with adjustable height pedal hangers, which SHOULD BE a universal fit for all pedals. The trend towards proprietary accessories for each brand is one of the downsides to the industry that keeps consumers confused, while they delay their purchase to wait for the exact combination of characteristics that they desire, which costs sales and destroys profits and leaves riders second guessing themselves. Cast nubby pedals, crappy headlights, and generic pads are preferred because then I won’t be upset that I wasted funds on accessories that I will replace anyway or don’t even want (like 90# of the taillights offered thus far. Please stop asking for better pedals… they’re never as good a E-rides or Nylonove pedals… or the myriad of other accessories that are possible if modularity and interoperability were taken more seriously.
