King-Song S16 & S19 COMPLETE IN DEPTH REVIEW 

Can you make a video to upgrade these parts like the spacers that are missing on the s16 for people that own these wheels? A guide to make them safer and better would help out a lot of people!

This video really makes me feel like I dodged a bullet. I was days away from buying an S16, as soon as batch 2 arrived in Spain I was going to get one. Now after seeing this video I bought a Begode Extreme instead, it arrives next week, I can't wait!

Great in depth review as always! It's nice that I really don't need to do much research on my own when we have such all-inclusive reviews available :D

It's nice that you also show the downsides of these Wheels and openly address what could be done better, thank you for that 👍🏻

And my old S18's suspension still works like a charm after 2.5 years 😅😅 Thats that you call regression... XD

Adam, when can we expect full Extreme and full Lynx reviews?

Thanks for honesty man, appreciate it!

I have the S19 (one of 5 EUCs I own) and it’s a great wheel for the price. I’ve had no (zero) problems. I ride occasionally for fun. I have a car and a motorcycle also. I’ve never taken any of them apart, except for repairs, and only judge by riding joy and reliability. I have the street tire so this wheel is not for off roading but have taken it out a time or two when there’s a side trail. Can’t resist. Great wheel!

Finally, the review of the S19 that I've been waiting for so long! I ended up buying the latest version with Samsung 50S batteries. Do I regret not getting the Extreme, which I was also considering? I don't know because I haven't ridden the Extreme. So far, I've covered 600 km, with some off-roading but mainly commuting to and from work. The rather negative reviews about the water resistance of this wheel contradict the experiences of users of this unicycle. Russians (where this wheel is popular due to regulations) use it in really harsh conditions, and there have been no cases of water-related failures. That's why I decided on this wheel; however, after watching this review, I took the small effort of sealing the top part of the housing under the controller and the motor edge. I've lowered the suspension to the maximum, which gives me even better control. The pads are indeed a bit tight when I wear full Leatt protectors, so I'm seriously considering cutting off their front part. What I like most about the S19 is the handle and weight, which allow me to carry it with one hand.

I love this videos from your channel, I only trust in you. They should pay you as an external consultant. I'm waiting for the review of the InMotion V14 Have a nice day Mr. Wrong Way

I mean even with the S16 being more powerful than the S18, it weighs nearly 15 pounds more. That's a lot. Hell the S18 is already over OSHA's limit for lifting for one person at work places. OSHA's limit is only 50 pounds. Really wish there were some good options for suspension but lighter. Even the Begode Falcon is going to be 55 pounds.

V11Y is great wheel in my opinion. Also if you can live without the suspension (and the maintenance :)) Inmotion V12PRO is excellent wheel.

@13:34 - I feel like Kingsong gave up on competing with other EUC companies on things that make a better ride and instead decided to become the EUC company for people who prefer speakers and lights over a great ride

Damn, I know that it's probably way harder than it seems, but as a perfectionist, seeing all those, what looks like, simple mistakes and blunders made by manufaturers - I really want to make my own, ideal wheel. Maybe, some day, just dreaming for now. I know it can be done, there are some diy projects out there already, it's just outside of my current skillset and abilities lol

Great video as always! Waiting for Extreme and V14 in depth review!

Very helpful! Thanks!

A comparison of the Kingsongt S16 Pro vs the Inmotion V11Y would make a great video

I was planning on buying KS-S16 pro as my beginner wheel, but after I watching this, I just lost any hope for any Kingsong brands. I just wish Leaperkim releases a beginner wheel where any beginner rider wouldn't have to worry if the wheel they just purchased would be safe/not overall to ride. Leaperkims 20 point inspection (correct me if I'm wrong there), assures me that that wheel I would buy from them is fully inspected from top to bottom and its ready to ride by a beginner.

What brand shock do you have on the S16? I would like to upgrade my S16 Pro. Great in depth review. I’m all about preventative maintenance and you gave me plenty of good information. Thanks for your content.

Thanks for the very extensive technical view 'behind the sales-stage', as there are not many EUC producers able to reach the (western) modern construction level, so it seems? Spending 3 to 4 thousand eurees for this kind of quality can only be done when one is crazy about riding EUC's in the first place, but it will hit back on the long run, thats for shure. Compared with you're checklist in mind, there is only Leaperkim standing firm. As a starter, it means I have to get used having my feed high above the ground, while learning the famous 'brain-switch' for balancing the wheel and myself. You've mentioned it before, suspension and the taller build quality will need a bigger determination in learning the EUC-ride for the very first time. You are right..Lets do it!! :-) The lowering pedals for the Lynx ( just 30 mm) might help me somewhat. Afterall, I have to go the 'wrong way' to make it right...:-) Cheers!

Thanks for this detailed survey of the S16. I have the pro version with 750k so far, about 25% of that on dirt and I am more or less happy with it. It is light and nimble and has been trouble free so far. The QC on mine seems to have been better; silicone in all the right places, however I have had to make some mods. First I removed the speakers and added larger side plates and V14 pads for better control. I also adapted pedals from the S22 because there are no aftermarket pedals that I could find. The slid rollers do collect dirt and I think that dropping the motor and cleaning the slider system with WD40 and compressed air should be done at least every 1000k, sooner when exposed to dirt and sand. A full set of rollers only costs $80 and I don’t mind working on the wheel, but, If I had it to do it over, I think I would have just gone for the V14 in spite of the extra weight.

As a lower range/speed rider, (all but once under the 60km max and under 42kph) I am still good with my Kingsong s18, the wheel still preforms great although not super performance, runs really cool, great suspension, not ridiculous weight, decent trolley handle. Sure I miss out on modern torque, but my wheel has climbed any real city hill in my town with ease. I just don't need more really although a bigger battery would be the most nice upgrade. I am mostly looking for a used small wheel next mcm5 or mten3-4 for learning backwards/idling and have a better wheel to teach friends with.

Good breakdown of issues, no obvious bias and though I have no interest in either wheel the video was still good to watch as when you talk about design issues and the disappointment it is not about performance just about poor design choices. Clearly, at some point, design choices and part integrity issues will either be improved or we will lose a manufacturer because they can’t compete.

Excellent comparison review of kitchen cabinet drawer slides vs KS suspension sliders. (Spoiler alert... WW kitchen cabinet wins!)

Im greatful that you released this review when you did. I have been looking at the Kingsong S16 as a starterwheel and for commuting to work. But after this video im back to square one again. What wheel would you recomend for a beginner and commuting 50km/day? I will never try to jump downstairs and drive on gravelroads.

Well thats why i choose the Begode T4 pro...yea no smart BMS and waterproofing could be better but everything else is easy to work on amd kinda intuitive with so many infos from Forums if you need help.... that's just not the case with Kingsong Wheels....wheels in this class need ro be super easy to maintain because no enthusiasts will buy them in the first place

S19 turned out to be not as bad. I've managed (and highly recomend) to cut out the front parts of the side panels, sooooo much better now; speakers were easy to unmount too And now the tire change is easier too - did You know that You can release the wheel from the chassis simply by unscrewing (1) bottom links and (2) straightforwardly unscrew phase-wire cap with the short screwdriver from below (in a maximum pre-extracted position). This leaves to unmount just the stand with a fender to actually start the tire change. Thanks for detailed review

this is why I want to hear your take on the v11 y

The number of newly used wheels for sale within 100 miles or less is f*cking staggering! Why would anyone buy new unless they’re just buying HYPE! The manufacturer’s ignorance of business strategy is astounding and they’re ultimately f*cking themselves!

i was about to order the 19. I have 2 18. my upgraded 22 was stolen. what should I buy instead ?

The bottom line is that these wheels ride great but might not be that endurable or abuse resistant. I still think they offer great value for money and weight.

Great video, do you plan to do a similar one on the V14?

I think I'm going to get the S16 pro. It has problems but we all do.

Bro Nice vid, when You Will do a top mid + highend euc? I'm w8ing it hahaha thx bro

Hey adam i had a question. I can get a new s19(not sure its a pro or regular) for under 1800 maybe lower. But a colleague said that it is already at End of life. But is that true? I would find it weird since it came out like a year ago right?

Any thoughts on the Commander mini?

eks dengan kamera can you give your opinion about s19 and begode t4 . which one is the most recommended?

Do you know if the Hou Ning Ning S22 suspension bolt kit will work with the S16 linkage? Appreciate your review on these wheels!

As always... great job! 👍 this is the type of review that garnishes viewers. Even though I am attracted to the S19, I won't be getting one. We need vehicles, not overpriced toys.

Except ... the chargers need to prove their reliability. The S22 and Lynx chargers were absolutely terrible.

I like this king of review. It's very interesting, I hope you will do same for the V14

Hello. Very good!!! I would like to downgrade my S22pro with S16pro because i do 10 km per day and S22 is too big and too heavy ad is not agile (before a had a 16XS), but now.... i don't know if i will buy it!! Please some questions: - is it possible to put nylonove pads (i have it) on S16 removing speakers and putting it a bigger plate? on nylonove there is nothing for S16! - about the noise of the pads when you accelerate /brake is there any way to remove it? because i think is impossible to ride with 'clack'! and also if the pads move, you lose sensitivity - are there some aftermarket pedals for S16? i love my nylonove pedals Otherwise... i will keep My s22pro

I was thinking on buying an S16 but after this video man ... im thinking it twice. I might hold to my begode Hero until they anunce a well manufacturated smaller wheel with a BMS.

Kingsong s16 pro begode t4 pro what would you buy

NyloNove does not have Wyoming WY as a state in the Billing section, so I can’t order their product, I tried to email them but they haven’t fixed it, can you please tell them.

S18 is still better for city commuting.. When you can cobine it with public transportation and fast chager - it rocks. If you are ready to kick on a 35+ kg wheel - ride an S22. Or Lynx :) btw - nice haircut)))

We can't wait for you to test the Begode Falcon for intelligent people who want to start in the world of wheels with a robust and comfortable wheel without plastic... without having to do more than 30km on a charge and without breaking their back with a wheel weighing more than 26Kg

The kingsong 18XL, the unbeatable! I have a kingsong 16s with almost 25,000km on the clock, indestructible. Wouldn't you be a little too demanding and dramatic with the wheels??? A few years ago, we didn't worry so much about all these technical details, as long as it worked... Monsieur Flex is the vestige and the proof ! Your assessment is relevant, but it is not at all representative of the majority of average users.. There are 2 categories of Wheelers now... but unfortunately we hear too much about those who are in performance and forest leaps the other category is quieter.

Why is the slider system of the s18 not further developed ?! If they simply improved the dust protection (as many did home), this system seems perfect? I dont understand why these new high maintenance multi parts sliders…

Yeah yeah, the Begode quality is unquestionable :-)))))

I like the sliders on the s18 more than rollers on these, and it is cheaper now. I am wondering if the begode falcon might be a better comtyter wheel. Would love to see a review from you.

So you should be fine if you don’t ride in rain and don’t do any extreme jumping 👍 I’m wondering if second batches and Pro versions are any different than pre production units you received.

Jakie najlepsze kolo do miasta? Dobrze jak by bylo w miare lekkie zeby targac na 2 piętro

maybe you should look adam on the new t4 pro not a lot of reviews on it but from i heard its great even thou no bms...

and here I was contemplating the s16 but that is going to be a nope from me

Where can you buy that tire? Cannot find it through Google!

I can tell you right now my S19 was the worst wheel I have ever owned... Less power than the S18 (we compared them side by side with 2 different riders), it could never reach above 30mph without having audio warnings, we over heated it twice, the slider rollers started getting chunky and bad at 150 miles, if you blipped the throttle the pedals would dip before the wheel gave you any warnings....it has slow acceleration specially for it being 100v and its cost. other than being pretty with okay loud speakers its trash and I have owned A LOT of unicycles....

I get your gripe on those wheels. Look like good looking old Begode, but you blocked begode wheels for a while for these exact reasons. Will you ban kingsong now? I have the s16 and i do love it. I will add waterproofing on it tho, and i had the s22 for quite a long time and didn't have a problem with it. So overall i think its still a good value wheel.

This is a real bummer, i was looking to get an s16 pro, but i need the reliability

Smart bms wont save you from a housefire

I used the s16pro for my 11 year old, the problem is that any wheel that he can lift is underpowered. He weighs 35 km so he can get 100 km out of the wheel.

Man, i just wish there was a -cheap- wheel that was as waterproof as my veteran sherman. I am not very handy, but i'd like to have a wheel with street tire, but decided that i wouldn't want to do that kind of tire swap 2 times a year on the sherman.. Swedish weather and winters are not kind to the wheels

👍

Have you seen the begode falcon? What do you think about it?

Shrink wrap do not Waterproof the battery at all

I can attest S16Pro was a nightmare for me. Gave it away after 6 weeks. constant BMS issues, mudguard and suspension rubbing, and tire valve hitting the battery boxes. I don't recommend it at all, I'm back on my 18XL. no "smart" BMS but literally rock solid, zero issues. Kingsong's last great wheel..

When in doubt, buy a Lynx.

It seems to me like King Song is content in making affordable commuter wheels. I really don't think they care about reaching the high-performance extreme riding/ racing market.

Loks like S22Pro is much better created . Rollers aren worst thing . Rows where tey are rolling after 15-20 tousands of km will be worn . So battery cases will be neded to replace .

sounds like the s16 is designed for kids and the s19 for teenagers

низачто больше кинг сонг не возьму.

Donc si je comprends bien entre : Ks qui fabrique des roues de mauvaise qualité. Leaperkim qui fabrique des chargeur de mauvaise qualité. Inmotion qui dit que leur roues sont ip...alors que non😂 Begode qui étonnamment commence a faire de bonne roue. Alors quoi ? On retourne chez begode ? . 😂

All wheels it’s bullshit))
