I’ve been using the Sherman s for 4 months now and it personally blows away any other euc I’ve used so far. Its range and reliability are its greatest strengths as that alone makes it viable as a car replacement for personal transportation. That aside, the speed it’s capable of is more than enough as I only ride as fast as I need to keep up with car traffic. It’s been one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time
I got my sherman s in Feb, 6200 miles later not one single issue. It's been in deep waters, up steep inclines and high speeds, even a few crashes and still performs like new out the box. With a Sur-ron seat installed the ride is butter smooth. LK YOU NAILED IT!!!!!
Fantastic Review! I knew all my homework would pay off when I ordered my second batch Sherman S almost a year ago. It arrived Feb28th this year and I've racked up almost 5,000 km since with not one issue. It is my daily commute to work, and my escape when I need it. Pain in the butt to plug in the charge cable. Other than that, no complaints
right? I'm a cyclist, I only found out about them through a GMBN video showing Shibbytime going over jumps on an EUC. only thing that stops me from getting one is that it's not really practical for me since they're limited on cargo capacity. if I had a way to hitch a trailer to one that would be the game changer for me
Wow, very cool in the range test of the Sherman S. How U found the bike trails 2 go 2 Westchester is amazing. Also having the ability 2 sit while riding is gr8, & adding a gps on2 yur wrist is also gr8. Also using the Insta360 2 record while riding is very cool. Show how stable the Insta 360 is while having fun. W/ a rider like U, I'm hook on2 EUC. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.🎉
You are one my favorite RU-vid EUC rider/reviewers. I love watching your detailed and awesome content. Im still a newbie, but I've put 2900 miles on my Begode EX30. My first wheel.
Great review as always. With high speed mode, it brings its top speed well into the low 50s, so I think speed is almost a non-issue with this wheel. That being said, I'd welcome a 134v version! I'd also love to see a 70lb spring option for people who want to use it as a one-wheel quiver, to include jumps (patton, too).
The Commander Pro is my favorite wheel to ride. Its speed and agility are astonishing for its weight, especially compared side by side to the Sherman-S. But the Sherman-S is my favorite wheel to OWN, and it is the wheel I do actually own. It looks better, feels more polished, and has been rock solid reliable so far.
Why do people keep saying the Sherman-S is only a 45mph wheel? That's Simply not true. It has high speed mode . With that on I have done 56mph verify on gps. Sure it is not the fastest today but it is far from slow and mine has proven dead reliable
True. Also Begode wheels tend to misdisplay their speed a lot, for example EX30 displays 10% more speed than GPS, on Sherman-S difference is only 2-3%, and some guy managed to hit 60mph GPS on his Sherman-S
I have loved having my inmotion v11 for 3 years.. can recommend, although a new v11y is coming out with slightly higher speed and all the new reliability/security improvements Gotta say though having lots of range is great if you go on a road trip and bring your wheel so you won't need to charge it.
@OWGAC Can you send me a link, or show me where I could get a bracket like the one you are using to attach your luna seat. Would be super helpful. Thanks!
I ride roads and paths, I don't race on tracks. For me the Sherman S has all the power and all the speed that I need/want. The top speed is definitely over 50mph, I've touched on 75kph (46mph) without the wheel beeping (I am in high speed mode) and that is definitely not maxing it out. Even pushing faster speeds it is still easy enough to ride for over 100kms (over 3 hours) and that is long enough riding for me. My other wheels have had less range and I had to keep my speed down to make 70km, with the Sherman S I go as fast as I feel comfortable riding and still easily enough manage 100km. If I kept my speed between 0 & 40kph then I'm sure I could ride for 160km, but that would be over 4 hours of riding and that is getting a bit long for me. I only have 1,800km on my wheel, but down here in the southern hemisphere it is mid-spring now and heading to summer, so I expect to run up some decent kilometres over the next few months. Mine is stock except pedals (Nylonove) and pads (Grizzla Flow).
Hey Bro. Im in Auckland. Wherebouts you live? How long you own your Sherman S. Im still sussing out which Suspension wheel to buy. So many to choose from. I wouldn't mind 2 Wheels 😁. I currently ride the EX.N HS. Am happy with it's speed and travel range. My 1st EUC was the 84V Gotway Nikola. Sold. Been riding EUCs for 2yrs. Love it ❤️my favourite PEV. I also own and ride High powered Escooters. Ebikes. Electric Skateboards
@kiwimon3204 I'm in Hamilton. I got my Sherman S in February, now over 1,800km on it. I use it much more than my V12HT or my e-MTB or my e-scooter. I have ordered a new e-scooter (Inmotion RS), but I probably won't run up as many kms on that as on my Sherman S. The Sherman S is heavy, but it is a quality wheel with really good suspension. The range I get is perfect for me. I did change the pedals to Nylonove ones and I added Grizzla Flow pads, but now I'm super happy riding this wheel.
@@KiwiMark67 cool 👌. Thanks for the reply. Maybe someday will meet up wherever. Go for a ride or group rides. Here in Auckland. Lots of Group rides I've participated in. Auckland Escooter Club group rides. Evolve Electric Skateboard group. Auckland EUC Riders. Cafe cruiser Ebike riders. Im part of those groups and ride with them all ❤️
Good grief it's been a while seeing you my friend. You were the first channel that I saw back three, four years ago wrhen I was trying to get into the EUC seen. It was the Monster ride to a BBQ party that you went to. Eversince that vid I wanted the Monster so badly, and than I shifted to the Sherman wanting that badly too. I never was able to get any EUC cuz I was in a predicament in finances, and other related health issue at the time. I was willing, but my stamina was able to. That's why I gave up on it. Meow though I shifted into motosickles. Well, I started with scoot scoot, and I had my first 300cc motorsickle, and than meow I got a 500cc motorsickle. I"m loving it so much riding my bikes. So it turn out for the best for me. I'm meow on two wheels instead of one. I still like EUC, but I know meow I can't physically ride those things. I swear though it was good watching your vids back in the day. I guess I could keep watching your vids more to see how NY is like meow through you travels on a EUC even though I would probably not get one. What I want meow is really to upgrade my bike again to either the new affordable Honda cb750hornet, or the Yamaha MT09. If you didn't know the Honda that I want is a 755cc inline 2 with a 270crank, and the Yamaha is a 890cc inline 3 crossplane. I would love to get both the bikes because it is a better upgrade than what I have that is 471cc inline 2 with a 180 crank. Youre probably asking why would you just go for a liter bike. Well, I don't really have the finances for it, and I don't really need that kind of power. Meow If I can get it for a hand me down, than I don't really mind getting it. Either than that I think it's possible for me to get the two bikes that I described. That's enough of that rambling. It's really good to see you my friend. I'll keep in touch.
Thanks for your video, always enjoy your trip and commentaries. We should get Sam of A.I Rides and the Pirate to give you an excursion around the Bronx....😂😂
SS is the out of the box comfort range wheel. its only fault is that price tag. if the thing was maybe even 3800 it wouldn't scare as many people away.
I love my S. I am slightly bothered by the lack of acceleration and deceleration compared to even the OG Sherman, but since I own both I've noticed that I feel more confident on the S because it feels tuned to not overpower itself before reaching top speed. On the OG Sherman, I swear I can get beeps while accelerating from a stop well before I reach 30mph. I prefer the confidence a slower acceleration provides. If the an S+ comes out, I'd expect a 126v setup, like the Patton, and I'd hope the range is at least 80% that of the S. I really don't think I'd want the acceleration of I had to trade the capacity to skip my car for a day. I'd rather have my S and then get a Patton for the off-road contexts I'd expect to need the torque in. But on the other hand, I'd appreciate the better stopping distances of a 126v setup...
@@AlexeyDnepr I don't own it, but considering it's a smaller wheel with the same motor as the Sherman S, and it's 126v batteries whereas the S is only 100v, the Patton definitely accelerates faster, since it should have much more torque.
I've only seen one of these types of things, and it was a very short video not even showcasing it, it was just being driven, and I thought it was silly....but I just watched this whole thing, this wheel is pretty crazy 😅 IDK about throwing 4k at a company for one wheel, but that ride definitely looked fun, although made my knees and back hurt just thinking about standing in one spot for that long 🤣😅
@@djwhiteflour i going frm a v12 to a v14 .. yeah ik its not much of a difference, beside sus n more battery life.. but i think ima enjoy it alot .. tbh i did wanted the S or master pro .. mayb eventually.. ima see how this v14 turns out when i get it .. for right now it was either patton or v14
Nice to see that you know which way the seat goes 😀 I have seen some weirdos put seats on the wrong way and come up with all kinds of excuses why their way is the right way.. Anyway, can you show how you attached the seat both front and back and are you able to grab the front of the seat for emergency braking or will you just rip it off?
Looks a great wheel but way too expensive for me. If the wheel is aimed at long distance comfort then the seat should be built in and perhaps tilt up to provide a trolley handle. That rear light looks a bit minimal too. Perhaps there should also be sacrificial hard rubber corner pads to protect the wheel in a crash - these could come in different colours to allow people to customise their wheels. Is the lighting good? Does the trolley handle work well?
you mentioned that you are able to get 100 miles out of a sherman s on a single charge??? what is the average speed which allows you to do that and the final voltage of the battery after the trip? I am asking because I am not getting much more than 60 miles out of mine... (maybe I am pushing it too hard most of the time?)
I'm getting the same as you. Around 60 miles of good speed riding. I've eek'd out 75 miles a few times, but keeping speed below 30MPH and in warm/flat conditions.
I got a Sherman OG today. Just rode it for the first time. Oh man it was not easy. Question how many Sherman eucs are there? I have the OG is that the veteran Sherman? I’m confused. Anyway I love it so far but stressed that I can’t ride it yet
What's the max speed in gps? It's fine and dandy when you are riding in heavy traffic, but when you get a wheel to ride in suburb roads where cars regularly go 80km/h, inflated wheel speed numbers mean nothing. I have heard some people saying it can go 96km/h. Kinda hard to believe. Any video footages of people going that fast on sherman s?
I hear nothing but great things about the sherman s but I am looking to learn and the sherman s sounds horrifying to learn/train on. What wheel would prep me for the sherman s, a great training wheel and what price point is reasonable, I see ranging from $500-2k...
It all sounds good but, the weight at 100lbs is to much & unsafe for me. The V14 is 85lbs whish is much better control & safety for me. 100 miles range sounds good but, history tells me 60 miles range is enough.
what's the biggest pro/con to the 55lb 62lb and 66lb suspension options I only weigh 150 lbs so I don't exactly NEED the heavier suspension but who knows what I might wanna put in a backpack or something for a trip or two
Well the charge ports are in the front of the wheel. Complete nonsense. My friend have it full of water after few minutes of heavy rain. The rubber cover do not help at all. Are you sure about the waterproofing? :D
First of all, its coldplug so no need to worry about shorting since its inactive unless its plugged in all you have to do is dry it up before plugging it in but while riding its fine.
I mean I guess technically it's MORE upstate, however I would not consider anything south of Orange county "upstate" in fact I'd barely even consider Orange county to be upstate when you consider that there's a whole lot of state left to go north of that. certainly Orange county is still within commute distance of New York City although I would not call it a "comfortable" commute my ex's sister and brother-in-law had a 2-hour commute from I-84
There is a lot of plastic shit inside the wheel - structures that should be made of metal. This wheel will not live as long as Inmotion V13. The price is totally extreme considering the fragile inside structures. Leaperkim send us spareparts for the Sherman S.... Why? Because the QC on batch1 was not OK....
Trade off for less weight? I agree that the two sides should be better bridged together. The thing is a tank. The V13 has plenty of faults as well, smaller battery, air shocks, seems a bit less planted. The add ons that were shipped, did any of that really need switched? The trolley handle seems fine as is. The pedals need to be switched to BVD anyways, the V13 pedals would too though. Not sure about the slider covers. Never heard about what the rod was for yet. I got mine from Ali and it has been a great wheel so far for almost everything. I would not recommend it for a beginner unless they were only interested in learning seated riding for a good amount of time first though.
most disappointing "roll intro" ever. Put some passion into it!!!🤣🤣 edit: that comment about sitting on the Sherman s being comparable to a couch is spot on.
