The EUC that Shocked Me: The Begode Mten Mini (Full Review) 

Thanks for the clarification!

I haven't "mastered" that quite yet 🤣

@@WheelGoodTime I have no issue to stop and go backwards on M-Pro, but when I want to stop going backwards and go forward again, I have to step down. I guess I can not (read: I am afraid to) lean forward more into it. But I can pendulum very well if I keep one of my hands on a wall or pole 😝

Thanks! 🙏

There is an updated version of the IPS I5 that is coming later this year. Much narrower (backpackable), ultra lightweight, and likely a little bit more power than this - maybe that fits the bill a little bit better for you? 😊

I know the thread you got that notion from. Jason said the i5 format is being revived and that's all we know. It's not related to the Luffy though. I don't think we should say that it will be more powerful and ultra light weight when nothing is known yet.

I don't believe so - not without effort, anyway. The mini is a little bit smaller than the mten4, and the pads have a cutout on one side for the motor cable that I think will not be compatible with the mten4 just due to the slight size difference.

That one is up next 😀

I think I'm going to make a (pretty short) dedicated video on how to do that pretty soon - I have to refer to google every time I pull out a new Begode EUC from the box... and then forget the procedure about 5 seconds later 😂 I'm working on editing a Kingsong S16 Pro review at the moment, but definitely on my near-term radar.

we're getting torque by repelling magnets of magnetic field generated in coils current = voltage / resistance (Power = voltage * current) more current = more torque how to get more current? 1. by lowering resistance (guess that part is already minimised af) 2. more voltage peolpe like you are funny, but somewhat harmful for others)

@@sergejbykov30 Do you understand that EUCs has multiple batteries? Which EUC do you think has the most torque: One with a single 100V battery, or one with four 80V batteries and four times the capacity and total Watt output?

@@Erafune motor does the action, not batteries) again, we are getting movement from magnetic field, it gets stronger when we are pumping more current into coils read this again, you need to understand that first there are just 2 ways to increasing current (I = U / R): decrease resistance (it is done by motor manufacturers) increase voltage also manufacturer can make magnets and coils wider, closer to the outer radius, arrange magnets in hallbach array etc. etc. but most of those tweaks are already made or difference is too little

​@@sergejbykov30 I see. Thank you. I think I understand my misconception now. The motor can't pull unlimited amps no matter how many batteries are in parallel. Since both Voltage and Resistance have maximum values limited by the hardware (maybe regulated by hard/software to allow lower power output?), the max Current also has to be a set value. As long as the battery packs can provide the current that the motor wants, the amount or size of battery doesnt matter. I noticed something very surprising. Since the Resistance in a device is constant, if you were to double the Voltage, the Current would also double. But that means quadrupling the Power (P = U * I) as both multipliers in that equation is doubled. To double the Power, you would need only 42% increase in Voltage and Current. So higher Voltage can increase max Power very rapidly. I will rephrase my problem with the fixation on Voltage as a power meter. An EUC with 20% higher Voltage, but 50% higher Resistance due to poor design, will be lower in Power. Only if we assume that all EUCs has the same internal Resistance, would it be as simple as "more Volt = more Power". We dont usually get the Specs on the Resistance (R) or the Current (I) that the EUC motor operates with, but we can calculate it. 9000W peak motor on 134V = 67A peak current. 134V / 67A = 2 ohms. I believe that when we talk about how powerful an EUC is, we are better off using the Power rating that the manufacturer provides, since EUCs on same Voltage can have different Power and Torque figures. But then again, the Inmotion V12 HT and V12 Pro both have 2800W motors, but one is rated 123 Nm torque and the other 160 Nm. So looks like we're damned either way. I'll look through my posts to make sure I'm not spreading misinformation.

Somehow I feel like that 68kg/150 lbs number was arbitrarily thrown on there, because it can handle much, much more pretty easily 🤠

I'm 56kg...still thinking hard if I should buy this...really love how it looks but the max speed is just too low. I really want the Mten4 buy so hard to find here in Thailand and the price is way higher than this one...maybe if I can get the Mten4s...that might be the best choice for me. I a beginner though...feel free to suggest me anything

Begode confirmed the weight limit to be the same as the mten4 - 100kg / 220lbs. Guys went up to 360lbs (Law + Chance on his back) and it didn't die.

Where in Thailand? I'm in Chiang Mai

Also the TSA at the airport isn't gonna look up the specs of your EUC. Just pack it in the bag or better yet push it through the airport and tell em it's legal. Oh yeah you gotta figure out how to mount a trolly handle to it as well.

@@jamesordwayultralightpilot with the mini it's important to manage your expectations. The mten4 has superior specs, no argument there. But it's also quite a bit more expensive for a similar sized package. For the price tag and the build quality/durability, I think it's very good. I also filmed a segment about the trolley handle, but later removed it because it didn't flow well. They do have a trolley handle planned for the mini but I don't think it's really necessary for an EUC this small. It's easy enough to lift and carry wherever needed 😊

I enjoy riding fast, but I found it fun 🤷 Not every EUC needs to go super fast in order to be fun, to each their own
