I appreciate your riding skills and expression. However, riders such as you guys are only bringing negative attention to our niche euc privileges. Being reckless and inconsiderate in densely populated areas is just gonna bring down the hammer on all of us. Soon, they will be banned, and nobody's gonna be able to street ride. Express yourselves in areas that aren't gonna offend pedestrians and cars in traffic. I hope you guys realize that our days are numbered as far as riding without registration and insurance. Please, lets not speed that up by drawing negative attention to all of us.
Very nice review, the part with the history of Begode was really great! The only thing I am missing is the dissasembly with your comments. These guys left the crew right, shame... But please contine even without them!
I have a question about the battery box. Let's say for instance you have a dent in the side of your Cmini at pedal height..to me it all looks like one piece, or can the outer panel be separated from the two inner rectangular smaller boxes holding the battery cells with the wires coming out? My new mini arrived damaged, i need to know what's involved in fixing it
Very good video, just one issue, I started riding 2008 and Begode formerly known as Gotway were already in existence . They also made some good wheels and really helped pushed the envelope for high speed wheels "giving the Rider absolute control" of the wheel. Wheels like the MCM4, MCM5, ACM series, Tesla series, MSV, MSX, MSP, Monster series.
Is BEGODE Really Improving? - ET MAX Answer is NO! Majority of people can't even fully charge the ET Max to 168 volts. Some ET Max are charging 10 Volts LESS than the 168it supposed to charge to
Was that lynx cutout really because of the dc-dc converter? I hope you're not spreading false info. I heard of a cutout because of bad sideways calibration from the factory, and I thought that particular cutout was also because the wheel was badly calibrated and he was turning.
I’m quite sure, as they responded to ewheels stating exactly what I stated in an email, and released a firmware update to address the noise created by the DCDC converter. I try my best to not spread misinformation.
Thank you! I think the response has inspired me to make some more 🤣 ride ones large Toronto location closed due to high overhead, but they continue to rent PEV’s in downtown Toronto at a different location, it’s just much smaller and not conducive to making videos like we used to. Thanks for the watch and comment. Means a lot!
Thanks so much man! They are only some addressable light bars, available on Amazon most places! Couldn’t tell you the brand, nothing too special. But generally they cost just under 100 bucks. The lights on the bottom of the wheel are similar, but small bars and cost about 20-30 for the set of 2
Welcome aboard! Prepare to spend all your time thinking about EUC 🤣 glad I could give you some info that you haven’t heard yet. Cheers and thanks for the watch and comment 💪🙏
I see videos on the internet where begode extreme gets cut off. Is this device unsafe? And what precautions should be taken to avoid cut off? It scares me.
The location they had in Toronto was too expensive, and it didn’t make sense to stay there. They still rent scooters from a location in central downtown, but the EUC, bike, scooter, onewheel “dealership” they had unfortunately closed. It was the location you see in most of the videos. Sad but made sense. I hope they can find another location to sell pevs from again.
It is! It’s just harder to get everyone together now that we don’t have a central location. A lot of us are still excited about making this content… we will see what the future holds. Thank you so much for letting me know you like this stuff!
Thanks for the mention with my new linkage! I really should have posted that video with the correct stitching lol. There should be a few of these out in the wild soon before an initial production batch is made. I personally really like a standard shock with normal springrates. Also the X link really gives a nice initial plush feeling with a good ramp in leverage for bottom out support. If anyone is going to Northwest Electric Fest, there should be at least one ETMax with a Fox Float X2! Great video also, very informative.
Awesome work, don’t stop making stuff to make eucs better! I would love to try your linkage, looks like you’ve done a great job. And besides the suspension, this wheel is a home run for begode. Thanks for making euc parts and being awesome in the community! Thanks also for the watch and the comment 🙏
Insanely high quality video. A few notes: - I dont care if the top is enclosed, it can very easily lose its seal on a crash. It only makes sense to care about an internal casing imo. - Putting the board on top sacrifices suspention length + either comfort, controlability, or controlability. This is complicated to write out in text but putting the board there either requires you to raise the pedals losing controlability at all speeds, move the pedals such that the top of the wheel is above the bottom of the knee losing alot of controlability at slow speeds, or use a wider middle so your feat are more apart losing comfort but negating that control loss. I get that its easier to cool if on top, maybe theres a way to direct air well while its on the front or back. Or maybe something can be done with heat pipes or similiar. - love the mention of tire, tires(and the implicit rim specs) are so dominant in how an euc feels. If you are a reviewer and you state comparisons without normalize for tire in your tests you dont know what you are doing. - Id prefer 4800wh + DC usb output up to 100V. the fact you have a self moving battery bank is an under utilized thing. I know AC output is hard, so lets just do DC output. Most things convert AC to DC for use anyways so DC output is enough for most things. - I prefer higher voltage just for the efficency gains. Allows for saving wheel weight which helps with breaking faster, an eucs biggest weakness. It also may make breaking more powerful but im not fully sure.
Wholeheartedly agree with the internal casing and protection. You are right, perhaps they could use a radiator and cooling pipe system and move the controller, and get even better cooling and design! The street tire on this wheel does make it unique. Sometimes a lot of people have never ridden one, and I had, but I hadn’t felt this good on a street tire for exactly that reason, the profile. This tire seems to be really nice to lean into and turn on You are so right about the usb and DC outputs. I would love to have (fused) access to this power. It’s such wasted potential! Especially when you consider that the lower half of the battery rarely gets used, which is still great useable capacity, especially for charging things like phones or maybe even running a small campsite. Cheers and thanks for your thoughts!
EDIT: I removed a part about 50s batteries being worse life cycles. Its pretty clear they perform better for about the same amount of time. If they cost the same, id chose 50s too.
@@miniwheelmedia confession until now I avoided begode like bubonic plague, then the Devil tempted me into buying et max. The very tiny screws all over the wheel could probably be upgraded? Does anyone know the size of em? The et max is Probably on its way from China via train!
@@FinnBjerke most are m4, m5 etc. yeah you can get some Gucci titanium screws off mcmaster and replace everything! Hahaha. You’ll love it bro… it’s a rocket.
I have a V3 Master and also owned a V2, had an MSP before those. I picked up one of the first ETs to arrive in the US and the more I ride it the more I love it. I am coming up on 1K miles now. I have not really tried seated riding on it yet but I think it will excel due to the height and pedal location options. My max speed on it so far is only 55 mph but that feels plenty fast enough for me and I like having the overhead of knowing it shouldn't be close to cutout at those speeds as long as I am over 50% battery. Keep in mind some others made deep dive vids into explaining the life of a 50S vs 50E on EUC. They seem to come to the conclusion that those life cycles are not accurate because batteries are tested at max stress levels which we are not riding at max amps with our EUCs on a regular basis if ever at all. I think the ET is definitely up there as one of the best EUCs ever made. Like I mentioned above it takes some serious miles invested to really feel the potential and get adjusted to the strange dimensions(500+). Once you do, it is a beast and a blast to ride. I find it funny how different the reviews on the suspension are. I love it and think it is by far the best that Begode has come up with. I am sure the FastAce kits are nicer but this will raise the cost significantly. I would like to see it implemented as well on some future options.
Ah I’m done with the battery talk. The 50s performs better for sure, just not sure how long for. Also ETmax is one of the nicest seated wheels, when the suspension is working properly lol. That’s why I say the LK shocks are so good… they absorb the tiny tiny imperfections in the road that make sitting steam.
Hello from Russia! You did not understand a difference between 50e,gb and 50s battaries. 250 cycles from 50s is a reference for maximum input and output amperage, and that amperage is much higher that e and gb version. Even with a fast charge, like 15 or 20a, you will not get any degrade after 250 cycles. 50s is better in every parameter.
50s definitely performs better, but as time goes on, they begin to equal out. If the 50e option is cheaper, it may be better for some people’s budget and not really suffer any performance decrease
@@miniwheelmedia Every battery will degrade sooner or later and yes, there is no statistics like after 20000kms 50s degrade to 80% and 50e to 70%. And definitely there's will be a huge difference in driving styles, charging and even a weather. My choice is 50s and i don't want cheaper versions. By the way there are some videos on RU-vid with a comparison inmotion v14 with 50e and 50s versions and 50s is better in driving, for me that's the main reason to have euc with 50s.
They have improved a LOT… it is their best wheel yet. But does it stack up against the competition? Right now I think yes, and it’s the cheapest option for a new hyper wheel. Only thing I would say is if you haven’t bought one already… you need to try it first to see if the shape and size are for you
wait ride one is gone?!?!? thats so sad! i find it interesting that some people say that the et max suspension is the best thing ever and other people say its no better than what they’ve done before
Yeah, the feedback is inconsistent, which isn’t great. Means that it’s a bit of a gamble if yours is nice out of the box or if it requires a lot of adjustment. Ride one was an awesome place! It was just in the wrong location and unfortunately had to close. We will try to carry the flame… I created a lot of that content, but had others on camera. Hopefully people don’t mind hearing me instead. Seb will be back too. Cheers!!
