This video is about my experience with riding the Begode Master for over a month. It broaches the qualities that makes this wheel a blast to ride as well as the drawbacks.
As always, nicely done Vee. On the mark although I don't share the worries about batteries. Hey, did you post the shock data sheet anywhere and what pump you are using? That information may be helpful for me and my Hero. 🤛
Aayyee, thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. I agree the battery isn't much of a problem unless you are strictly looking at using it solely for speed. The specs of the 50E isn't rated for speed, but somewhere along the lines there is a disconnect with that understanding. The pump I ordered is the Bio Precision High Pressure Pump (400 psi). I've not been home to try it out. I should be back by weeks end and I can let you know whether it works.
Great video.... I've watched many videos and was thinking of getting one for the first time.. but you was the first to say something about weight.... Because I'm 250 all muscle. But I'm glad you said that because I'm rethinking now
Thank you for the feedback and support, I truly appreciate it and you. When I do my reviews, I try and take the perspective of an average rider and what they may think is important to know., even if it's something minute.
Aayyeee, you know I have to take my time. There's very little I can gauge from doing a review a day or two after I take it out the box. I have to get a feel for what it's about. :)
Master of none huh? 🤣🤣 you had me cracking up! Begode just make the puns too easy. Great review though, very thorough. Personally I wasn’t keen on the footplates when i tried it but that’s a minor. Anyway, hope you enjoy because my goodness you definitely have the roads to 😁
Thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. Although I have the roads for it, the wind is BRUTAL here at times. It's just finding a calm day to ride. I'm not that heavy of a person and get thrust around a lot because the winds just make for riding around a challenge at times.
You always create my favorite reviews, Vee, and the reason is you take each product and give an overall review and you don't spend fifteen minutes sugar coating them if they find even simple issues. I believe those of us in this community always have our eyes out for another wheel. I appreciate the guys who give reviews but when they never find ANY faults something is lacking. A comprehensive review is the only way for us to make informed decisions. Nothing would be worse for someone new to this activity to spend three or four thousand dollars on a wheel and then go, "I wish I had known!". I would love to see you do a review on your Skydio. Anyway, keep up the great work. BTW, I am 74, so I don't even want to get to your skill level of speed riding, jumping, and 37 degree climbs but I sure appreciate all you do. Even your opening and closing on this video gave me a thrill.
Thank you for your love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. Truth be told, I do have a passion for what I do.That's why it takes FOREVER for me to do these videos. There is NOTHING I can tell anyone about these wheels a day or two out the box. Time needs to be taken to ride around and test them in various situations you'd find out in the wild. By the way, I will carve out some time to do a Skydio vid. It's just that I'm so backed up with doing reviews on these wheels. Lol
Wassup Sis... Great Video with many great points. I think I have found the best pump for the Master it's a 600 PSI pump and it allows me to keep the Master at 400psi easily. I'm rocking the P42a Moicel packs in my Master which has great power but definitely worries me as far as safety is concerned. (We shall see)
AWESOME! I sold mine as I was wanting the MOLICEL. Now there's a ton of wheels flooding the market that sounds even better on paper with better performance. But we shall see. 🤣🤣
Aayyeeeee! You know I've got to take my time in order to do it right. I'd be doing myself and you guys a disservice if I've only had this wheel fresh out the box and dropping knowledge on it like I've had it much longer. As always, thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. 🤗
@@VeeEUC : I understand. We will work it out. At least you won't have to worry about food or lodging! We have a few guest bedrooms so if you want and feel comfortable doing so you can parlay with Me & The Mrs.. But we need to do an event for the launch of ZMB High Performance Electric Vehicles.. Working on a Major Play Big Sis! I need your input
Thank you for the feedback and support. I truly appreciate it and you. You are CORRECT! Having to buy a pump and or a different shock for a wheel already on the pricier side is crazy to say the least.
Thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it. I take my time doing these videos because I want to give you guys a more comprehensive overview of an average person riiding experience and what may be more important to the average rider. I find very little comfort in doing a review when I've just taken the wheel out the box one or two days prior. Lol
Hey what do you mean that molicel packs are off the table? I have a set on my ex.n and they are awesome! Are you afraid that outfitting the master with molicel would make the range suffer too much?
@@VeeEUC lol, I know, wishful thinking. That guy FrenchUSA came up with a easy way to use the pump on our Hero's if it's the same one. That's a lot of pressure in the shock, but I definitely observed your optimism when you pumped it all the way up.
Great review, Vee. I’m disappointed with the range, however, I’m looking forward to trying a suspension wheel. I’m still torn between this and the Kingsong S22. Hope to meet you on a group ride when Afeez comes to town. Ride safe🙏
Hey there, Stranger! Thank you as always for the love and support. I truly appreciate it and you. Afeez reached out to me the other day to tell me he'll be touching down tomorrow and will be makings rounds to Chicago, NY and DC. Further that he wanted to meet-up with me, so I will be out there rolling with you guys for sure.
I'm just a newbie, riding my v5f in the suburbs but I always like to see a new perspective on EUC's. I'm an older rider and the lightweight wheel I have now seems ideal for rides 1-5 miles however I am super curious about the idea of getting a heavy high powered wheel to learn seated riding for longer rides
I'd go for it if I was planning on sticking with the hobby. Because as with everything we do, we evolve and tend to want to expand our horizon when we've taught ourselves something new. A V5F is a great starter wheel, but beyond that, you'll need something that can take you to another level with these wheels. Being older has no stopping ability in riding a more powerful wheel. I believe I'm "possibly" the oldest US female rider of an EUC and I've ridden just about all the powerful wheels manufactured. 🤣
Wow, I'm 53, had my wheel since Late Dec. 2021. I started out learning hoverboard in January 2021, and you are so right about the progression because I proceeded to get a larger hoverboard then shot baskets on outdoor basketball courts while riding hocerboard and then ran across EUC's - Wrong Way's opening video of riding toward the camera rounding a corner in his gear, that was the catalyst to me ordering the v5f last September, but I also love to share the joy, taught people my age and younger to ride hoverboard And I'd love to have a job connected to introducing people to EUC's.
I really enjoyed this review. Very well said, clean and to the point. Didn’t hold back. Very informative. I see that Freemotion is starting to play the game here. I’ve never purchased from them because the owner seems really sketchy and lot of old horror stories on the EUC forum about Freemotion. I’m hoping he changes his ways and becomes more customer friendly. So far when I asked a question last week he responded very quickly. That’s a good sign. What I’d love to hear is after purchase service from them. Anyone have any more up to date experience with them?
Thank you again for the feedback and support.I greatly appreciate it. As far as anyone having any up to date experience with them., when I went to Portland last summer, there were a couple of people from Colorado that had dealings with them. They've purchased wheels and accessories and still do to this day. I know they have someone that works on their equipment and as far as they other dealings, I've talk with them on a regular and convey sentiments from riders that questions their business. I've not had any issues with them, but I've heard about their past relationships with others. Sometimes people grow from bad experiences and it would seem they are trying to correct any bad press they may have had the past.
@@no1up Yes, having variety of distributors is good for the community. Where one won't another will. That's why I don't sleep on either one, even in light of controversy.Everything works out in the end. Facts
Thanks for that information regarding the air shock, this is why so many people have been bottoming out. The master really needs a Michelin Pilot or Pirelli Angel tire to be used on the road, and the battery should be the Samsung 40T. I honestly don't think that this is a range wheel, but very much a rip wheel. I have an air compressor so would likely use this to reach the 300psi for my riding weight, or maybe I need to buy a high quality shock pump...
Je n'ai pas compris la solution dont vous parlez pour ne pas faire toucher le fond a la suspension ... Pourriez vous me redonner quelques explications , merci 😁
Thank you for your feedback and response. I truly appreciate it and you. If your air compressor work, I wouldn't invest in a pump, but then again, the valve tip not work.
When the Master was first introduced, Begode had 3 battery configurations people could choose. The 40T cell, the Samsung 50E cell battery and the Molicel 50E configuration for the "speed" version. That is no longer an option. Every distributor's website dropped that option like a bad habit. The word on the curb for that option being dropped had something to do with LiTech having a fit with configuring a BMS for the Molicel. Whatever the case is or was, it's no longer an option from Begode. I understand LiTech is working with a distributor to create that Molicel, but it won't be from Begode. But from what you're wanting this wheel for, the 40T is it. That version is the torque version. Hell, the 50E has mad torque, so I can just imagine the 40T being just as powerful in that category. Afeez from E-Rides in the UK said you definately notice the difference with the 40T going up hills.
Thanks Vee. I love your reviews. I'm over the Teagle and the Master and want to focus more on the EX20S HS wheel. On paper, it's a Sherman with suspension and that's what I've wanted for a long time. Any chance of you getting your hands on one of those for a review? Thanks again.
Thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. I've put the request in for the EX20. Just waiting to hear back whether that wheel is going to be in FreeMotion's collection.
@Tommythumbs Thank for the love. I'm truly grateful. As far as the Monster is concerned, that is my favorite wheel. It has the range, speed and because of the diameter of the wheel can take bumps in the road like a champ. Caution, though.., it has a fragile rim. So popping off or on curbs has to be taken with care. Make sure to have enough psi in the tires to absorb hard obstacles. Suspension wheels are nice to have; however, the range suffers greatly from what I've experienced thus far.
Vee. Thanks for doing this review. Great work. Great work pointing out the pump valve clearance. I have not seen that noted before. You should know that the Molicel battery configuration (p42a) is not off the table. It is very much available for order direct from Begode. I know people who have them already, and direct from Begode. What android app do you use to measure angle (degrees) of a hill? P.S. Incase you didn't now this, while Americans reference "fanny" as one thing, you should know most of the world references it as another. ;)
Thank you for the feedback and support. I truly appreciate it and you. I was referencing the third battery option..,the LiTech 50E (45A) which is no longer being offered by anyone but eWheels I believe. As far as the angle app, I believe it was called "Simple inclinometer". I've since deleted it since I only needed it for the video. And as I surmised., the English language is so fluid., just about any word can have a different connotation than the one it was intended for. Thank you for the heads up. (Lol)
To adjust the recoil of the shock, you turn the damping dial counterclockwise. Each turn of the dial, you'll hear a click. With each click, the shock will recoil faster. Well, there are 23 clicks. Honestly, after the 5th click, the rest are not worth bothering with. If you turn the damping clockwise, the recoil will become slower to non-existing. If you don't want any recoil and want to ride the wheel on the streets, turn the damping dial clockwise until it turns no more. The wheel response will be like that of a regular EUC with no shock. From that position, start turning the damping dial counterclockwise one click at a time until you find the recoil response that works for you. I hope that makes since and helps you to understand what I was trying to sayin the video.
Accuuttaallyy, while I was bumping up those curbs, I took a curb that was chipped badly and hit it at an angle. That motor is so robust that anything it rolls over, it wants to bowl over it, so diving forward I went as it tried to grab at the loose cement. It was a low impact fall, but it chipped a little piece of the footrest hanger.
Aayyeee! Thank you for the love and support. I truly appreciate it and you. Spot on about the range. Personally, I'd expect more. But, hey! Who am I, but a random EUC enthusiast on RU-vid. 🤣🤣
⚡ *This EUC is the Jack of no trades?* 👀⚡ Love the clever title 👌🏼 Another great video, awesome Skydio shots! Would be great to see a follow up review of your Skydio experience so far. Those are some amazin trails there 👀
Thank you for the feedback and compliment. I truly appreciate it and you. I definitely carve out some time to do just that. I'm just trying to get caught up with these wheels I have backed up for reviews. Lol
Thank you for your feedback and response. I greatly appreciate it and you. I truly feel you on that. What can someone tell you about a wheel straight out of the box without riding it for awhile to get a feel for what it can do and what it's about. But who the heck am I? Just another random person on RU-vid. Lol
🤣🤣, thank you for your love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. I'm still LMBO imaging you singing in Katy Perry's voice. Puts me in the mindset of White Chick's. SMH 😂
I have a pump that was a lot better than the one supplied by Begode, but it too only goes up to 300psi, which I couldn't get out of the stock one. I've since ordered a Beto Precision High Pressure pump from Amazon. I haven't been home to try it out. I should be back home by the weeks end to see for sure before giving my blessings.
Ayyyeee! Thank you for the feedback and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. And only time will tell which suspension wheel will be worth adding to your collection. :)
Lol., no. It doesn't make me wobble. Far from it. It was very windy just about everyday I was riding so I had to keep my speed down alittle even though I wanted to open up. I'm not as heavy as most folks and tend to get thrown around alot on windy days.
Thank you for the feedback and response even though this is not the 1st time I've hit the 50mile mark on a video. I've done it with the Sherman and Monster Pro. :)
Many say the 50e kinda sucks. Aparently Im not good enough to notice it yet lol. Litech was out of my price range. As long as 50e dont blow up Im ok with them.
@@RomboutVersluijs Ohhh, they are a blast. Since I use my drone mostly to record, I can only go but so fast. Several times this week while recording me riding the Master Pro., IT lost track of me. It wound up hovering over traffic on a major roadway. 🙄
Afaik the Molicells are NOT from the table. What IS from the table is to get this batteries with a Litech BMS. But to my knowledge you can and will still get different Battery Options with the Begode BMS. And honestly: Since mid last year the quality of Begode BMS is on par with other producers…. LiTech BMS are just a tiny bit better. My opinion at least
Nice job. As a heavier rider I can say , "we need a wheel with more power" Then they make a wheel with more power that can't accommodate the heavier rider. They are leaving us out.
I was told that THIS particular wheel battery and motor combo can support heavier riders. I don't know, I only go off of what I hear from a heavier rider that tested the load of this wheel. But I hear you loud and clear. Given these wheels are made in a country who's inhabitants are much lighter and whose riding styles are in stark contrast to ours., it would appear they cannot relate nor fathom either. Who amongst them can you honestly say mirror us?
There is one EUC channel that actually had battery bags made for when they are charging their EUC that you put the whole EUC into - they were purchasable but I don't know if they still have any because that was a few months back (IIRC, I don't remember the name of the product or I'd just put it here). I would definitely invest in some sort of containment solution - if I hadn't already decided to put them in my budget, showing the plastic battery box definitely made my mind up. It might be simpler just to sell an EUC charging case that's covered in Nomex (like putting Tolex on instrument cases). :-)
@@finmarx It's a jargon we used on the police officer department to describe how we were excited in the beginning of our careers and then not so much excited anymore.
@@VeeEUC you don't but it makes a difference.. It means more if you have had to give some of your hard earned money and actually are invested more into a product rather than just having it passed around for a generic review 👍🤔
@@rcpete7055 🤔, hmmmm Going off your analogy,, should I have less confidence in my mechanic because he doesn't own the brand vehicle I drive? Just because someone doesn't own a product doesn't make them less invested or knowledgeable about that item. EUCs are generically the same with the difference in the size of their motor and battery configuration with some outfitted with suspensions. My main concern would not be whether someone owns the wheel but what's their experience level in riding a wheel so they can convey the slight differences in a way that's not biased. It has been my experience people who own something are more likely to be biased toward it. What good can that be to the consumer who"s looking for an unbiased opinion?
TBH Vee, I only see lotsa +'s & the few -'s were more niggles than anything. Knowing GW, not incl recco shock psi chart & a cheap chinesium air pump does not surprise me but again I see it as nit picking. Sure it would be nice if everything's perfect from day 1 but this is GW & EUCs are still a cottage industry. If we're gonna crap on GW, then dont forget to mention the IM v12 (& v11 too I hear) mosfet mobo debacle, the stil to be resolved (or even acknowledged) Abrams random cutouts & ofcos the obvious ̶s̶2̶0̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶d̶ ̶c̶h̶i̶c̶k̶e̶n̶ s22 just to mention 3 of the most recent fails. Overall, I think the Master's a game changer product & we just need to wait for batch 3/4 before pulling the trigger so nothing new here for sure. Thanks for vid
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. I appreciate its and you. When I do reviews, it's to point out both the good and bad. I don't see it as bashing and true to form, every video I do is more or less the same.
