When you decided to buy the Max for your daily driver, that’s when I decided to follow suit and buy one of my own as my first wheel. Loving every minute of it.

Adam, please, provide timecodes or chapters for your videos.

[@mr_wrongway]

Thx dude! Sorry about that, I’ll paste yours in the description

[@jaredpukallus1999]

Hey Adam, would love to see a Patton review, I love your videos. I got it into this game on a v11 a number of years ago after watching one of your videos. Now have a v13 but looking into the Patton instead. A video talking about torque wheels would be awesome to. I’m realizing that torque and suspension is where it’s at for me. Keep up the great work!

[@wattswheelhouse]

I bought a shermax as my first wheel about a year ago. I'm so glad I did. It has hit the deck a few times, but it's a rugged beast. The latest firmware update helps quite a bit as well! I'm definitely interested in that front light upgrade.

[@Laenthal]

Second-hand market greatly appreciates such in-depth reviews! These wheels will saturate it soon, and given their quality build will continue to do so in the years to come. And there will always be these videos to consult buyers. Thank you!

[@AdderallX]

A suspensionless EUC still has better off road capabilities than any scooter and skateboard, someone needs to make a sherman max competitor with 200+ miles of range and even more torque than the shermax

[@EkoKolo_Katowice]

size of wheel and tire matters . even in bikes is still open war between 26 27 28 and 29 inch wheels . now 26 inch is forgotten oldchool .

[@pedrogabrielsalviano]

Would be cool to see a Sherman Max with these improvements you mentioned plus 126 or 134 volts system, there aren't any wheels without suspension with such performance yet

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

they should do 148v with a c42 motor (if they make those) so it could basically not cutout from accelerating at low speeds at all

[@jessepope7726]

I like this idea, and I like Adam’s idea of making a slim version of the Max with a built in charger.

[@dirt.surfer]

​@@VECTOR_Coastershmmm F-yes, I like that direction 👌

[@pedrogabrielsalviano]

@@VECTOR_Coasters An overlean caused by overtorquing the wheel isn't exactly a cutout but I get the idea, however this voltage even exists now, is it at least possible? I mean are there other electric vehicles with more voltage than 134.4?

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@pedrogabrielsalviano i know we weren’t talking about begode/extreme bull but i’m going to talk about them for a moment their market has always been people who want to go the fastest possible and they no longer have the fastest wheel out there (begode master pro with 98ish kph vs inmotion v13 with 105ish kph) so they NEED to up the voltage and extreme bull has a 148v escooter (i think) so they could go with 148v, c40 motor for their next wheel but i think they need to go higher then that to make sure they are they highest performance for long time but if veteran steal the 148v before begode/eb then begode/eb is kinda screwed and would have to go 156v+ in order to actually still have that edge for performance and i doubt its even possible to have a 156v+ euc i also count over torquing as a cutout because pretty much the same thing happens

[@gordmarshall5830]

No one does it better Adam, your insight and non fanboy stance will keep me coming back. Dang, you ride well! Six pack Gord

[@1forfun]

Thanks Adam, great review as always. I bought the Max and I love it! Can you please post the links for your front and rear lights?

[@Iksyd]

Thanks Adam again, I did similar setup as yours and i loved with Shermax again. I love euc carving, tricks, new software and street tire do the job.

[@ArtemKuznetsovTV]

I like my Sherman Max, but s22 pro feels so much smoother on our NYC roads

[@milordas]

thats what i think too

[@Electric_roller]

Love my OG Shermie 2nd batch. Got a couple thousand miles on it (4?) and it just keeps in giving. Great performance, great range, superb handling. I use my V12 HT for commutes too and I love it but the Sherman is like driving your m3 BMW. Love the wheel and I am not interested in suspension at this point (cost, weight, size, manoeuvrability, too many things to brake, things to adjust etc.) Also, dude, @ 8:50 fire shot

[@milordas]

do you prefer Sherman over V12? I find Sherman a little too heavy for me, just looking second universal wheel, V12 or S22 pro, we'll see

[@arthurrobey7177]

Be aware that a light-weight charger probably produces a square wave. The sum of all frequencies is a square wave. Somewhere in that square wave is a frequency that your electronics do not like. Something that will cause a destructive standing wave.

[@robertfox4524]

Have a Max, and a gen 3 OG Sherman. Love them both, but the Max is a better ride experience. Excellent review.

[@vince7245]

Wow, 50:43 passed by just like that. You had me way more interested than the movie I watched yesterday. It's amazing what one can spend on accessories and gear. I'm too afraid to start adding it all up! 😅

[@yusufcanaktas6929]

Cant wait for your patton review! Torque is the way

[@KaizenOz]

Newish rider, ~500km's. Started on v12ht, needed repairs, friends lent me a s20 and then an OG sherman to use in the mean time. Both awesome wheels, had my eye on the max, but I ride 50/50 off/onroad so pre-ordered the Patton. Suspension really is a game changer. Looking forward to your review

[@milordas]

Yes suspension is needed, additional weight acceptable because of it, but Patton... they really should redone its controller box, as controller should sit deep in the profile, not on flat surface as is done now.. sealant is needed every time when you opened the box... what they smoked, i don't know

[@Dom6879]

How did you update the firmware?

[@2cells1pack]

Sherman / Sherman Max is legendary status wheels. They have small faults, but less than most other wheels 😂

[@privileguan9127]

Less worse than the others.. great comparison. "Better than expected"

[@MathieuTechMoto]

Thank you, i watched to the end !

[@laurv8370]

Excellent! This is the video we want to see from you! You almost convinced me to join the Leaperkim Club, unfortunately if I buy a fifth wheel my wife will kick me out 😄

Maybe she needs one? :D

[@laurv8370]

@@mr_wrongway Nope! 😅 see my reply to Oliver Johansson, below. Still looking for the person to convince her to ride - I'd pay well for it 🤗

[@Nemonurwingy]

Fun to watch. I bought a cheap EXN torque for $1,500 new (black board, no hole), and I’ll continue riding that, it’s fun. This looks a lot nicer, but at the price these things are, I feel like I’ll just end up buying a motorcycle. It’s really cool, but I could buy something that can be wet and take me anywhere and will last more or less indefinitely. It’s hard for me to justify these expensive PEVs, hopefully they make a breakthrough on cost and build quality.

[@k1wd.]

Been with you for a long time on youtube, your appearance has changed! Great video as always, remember to take care of yourself! Do you plan on reviewing the new King song soon? Can’t wait to see more content from you!

[@Johnnyboiii]

Awesome awesome awesome review Adam!!

[@MaximMaxim]

Potentially, the small custom charger (Wector) that you have, can be ordered, producing time (queue) is around 6-8 months now. I personally own two slim versions 84v (5.5 / 3A), 100v (5.5 / 3A)

[@javierabad8836]

Can you explain where can we find charger or any diagram for DIY? I do not understand how it can be so small and light a real 900W charger...

[@milordas]

do you sealed motor axle where wires is comming out? as by default sealed is pedal hangers, not motor axle and potentialy sand, mud, water can go into motor trough that hole

[@gar_ee8884]

An 1800wh version with built in charging would be awesome. I doubt they'd be willing to drop the price enough to make it enticing enough for people to buy though, not with the shermax probably only being a couple hundred more. The built in charger probably wouldn't cost much of anything, but how could they resist making it a 3-400 dollar price markup for being the only one.

[@EkoKolo_Katowice]

standalone charger is better .

[@kurukururin]

i started on the shermax like a year ago and it worked wonderful :D love it alot still and ill use it for many years to come if it hold together, which it probably will!

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

Just drill holes in the plastic top of the footplates and put in some parker screws. The best grip you can have on a wheel.

[@CartoonWeasel]

Hesitating in the shermax and s22 pro. Any input would be appreciated. Details: im 175lbs, speed isnt the main factor. (50/60kmh is more then fine). Range is #1. Weight #2 (gotta bring it with me in a truck during work.plan on commuting to work), I think i would also like to do some off-road and possibly stairs and jumps in the future. Im new. Would be first wheel. Dont want to upgrade a month later.(did that with eboards and it cost too much for nothing.)

[@donscott6431]

STEEL Stainless steel just means it STAINS LESS.. It still is steel, but what kind? I would prefer the old, tried & true, 4130 chrome Molly steel….

[@mattca353]

Id like to know more about the 20 amp fast charging on the Sherman S. Leaperkim officially says support 15 amp and ive seen a video of a guy charging at 20 amp once. I know the packs can handle 19.6 amp at 0.5C, but was unsure of the rest of the system. Can you elaborate more please? How many times you saw it done by people without issue, etc. That would be greatly appreciated.

[@privileguan9127]

Great review. I still can't find a solid justification for the price on this quality level. No suspension, no seat, no pads, a lot of plastic used, impractical light and pedals. Half the necessary items are missing and it is even more expensive than some high quality motor bikes...

[@grzib]

Finally ! 🍿 🍿 🍿

[@BayAreaPEV]

D*** I was really hoping for more information on that adjustable charger. I was really looking for something that could fast charge and still be relatively light weight.

[@jakubhusak1624]

SMAX - after firmware upgrade range raised to more adequate. Max 30 km/h, raider 90kg, rather flat terrain, over 160 km on single charge. Before FW upgrade it was less dependent on speed, and I have never ridden more than 100 km on single charge. Now I L-O-V-E it!

[@lunchymunchy2984]

Great review!

[@Laenthal]

These accessories prices are pretty outrageous to be honest. Same analogues where i live are being made for like two-three times cheaper.. Someone is making a bank on EUC enthusiasts..

[@better.better]

I think you misspoke in the first segment... you said "Begode created the Veteran Sherman"

[@mo_euc]

Thank you Adam for another great informative video! Q: can you compare the Sherman Max to the Patton ? They seem more comparative in size. I've been set on getting the S22 Pro and then the Patton came out. Now I'm twisted between the 2. Please help. Lol Thanks again! Cheers!

[@Ikarre33]

Sherman will remain Sherman! I have long wanted to buy one for all the advantages it offers but I finally kept my old EX.N C 30, RS 19 C 38 and KS S18 without any regrets. One day maybe when one of them will let me go. Good video as always Adam!

[@Onelastrun]

I liked it. The opening of the video was cool! Then went to ur signature opening. There is so much good information here that holds a lot of value! However I do wish you spoke on if you have the latest version and if not, have you been on one? Also, if someone were to purchase this wheel, how long will parts be available? It seems the euc products are evolving at a very quick rate! I'd like to see a video explaining what change is made to be considered a new version of a wheel. But thank you as always for your time adam. Great video! Wanna hire a creative director? 😮

[@justinho3358]

So the shermax states a 10A max charge and the Sherman S at 15A.. Is it safe to say we can go up to 15A and 20A on the Shermax and SS..?

I'm seriously considering getting one of these. My only two big hangups with this wheel are one, cost, obviously, but I do feel you at least get something that's likely to last long enough to get your money's worth compared to others and two the weight, I'm not entirely sure I have the strength to carry this wheel up the stairs to my apartment every day. I can just about carry the RS19 one-handed but it's a bit of a struggle, this or the even worse the 'S' weights 11-17kgs more though, which is quite a lot given I only weigh about 60kg

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

i don’t think the weight is a problem (at least for me) because every time i get a new wheel i think its REALLY heavy for a while but then i get used to it

[@oliverer3]

@@VECTOR_Coasters I figure if it's more than three quarters of my weight it might not be a strength issue but one of balance I'm not sure if I weigh enough to counterbalance something so heavy.

@@oliverer3 every wheel i have gotten has been a bit heavier then the previous one and every single wheel i have thought was too heavy at first then after a couple hundred miles i got totally used to it so i think you will be fine but you definitely couldn’t carry it one handed up stairs

[@laurv8370]

I'm with Vector. When I got my Master Pro, I thought "what an idiot, I will never be able to ride this thing". And that was after a year of riding. Coming from a first wheel RS HS, then a second after about 6 months, a V8F which I bought to teach the wife, but she never touched it, "you are an old fool and will end up breaking your neck", and I ended up riding it myself, I still own both of them and I used to ride the V8F almost every evening when I came home too tired to wrestle with the larger wheels, I like that wheel and enjoy it a lot, learned tricks with it, etc. The Master Pro was my third, bought it exactly after one year after the RS, and now, half year more into it, I ride it every weekend and I am so confident with it, albeit its 53 kg still make me sweat occasionally, but I tell you straight, whoever "masters the Master" Pro, they will never want to ride anything else further. You get used with the weight (and the comfort 😛) soooo fast! No joke! OTOH, I have no stairs to climb at my house (at least for the place I keep the wheels in) and I am on the heavier side of the Bell curve...

[@TheDownloader86]

Well regarding the reliability, I saw video from Rollin Dirty. His Sherman Max cut out during light breaking. He asked eWheels and they sold 300 Shermaxes and 5 of them already failed like that. That is really not good, maybe even worse than V12HT which you hate so much. Regarding the Sherman Light - you already have such a wheel - Inmotion V12HT. V12HT has much higher pedal clearence and superior built quality and design of the wheel. Built in charger is also horrible idea for me, I want to chose the charger I use and not to be stuck with 3A from manufacturer. Wheel is also heavier carrying charger all the time. The rest of this video is very nice, thx :).

[@mattca353]

5 out of 300 is a pretty good failure rate. For the record, I cranked and did insanely hard breaking maneuver with the Max, no issues. The only time I felt a dip while breaking was when I had to do a emergency breaking after a turn, with close to no space. I had to grip the handle bar and have my 190 pounds fully geared ass practically hanging inches above the ground to make it happen.
