    I’m certain You know that almost every tire has a heavy point and it needs to be balanced, Did you ever consider to try balance the tire of your EUC with balancing weights or balance bits, maybe unbalanced tire is the main cause for wobble. Car and motorcycle tires are always balanced prior to mounting them back on a vehicle, if they are not balanced guess what happens, you get wobble, on a car and just as on a motorcycle alike.

  • @patrickmckowen2999

    Great video 👍 This video may have to have changed my mind. I didn't think this wheel would be that capable. I want a small wheel for trail riding vs my heavy Master. And if you can do all that on a street tire! Cheers

    No thank you sir! I do not ride at NIGHT! Last time I rode at night, I had a pack of werewolves chasing after me, and I barely got away, and I was on a CB300f Honda motorsickle. Even though meow I'm on a cb500f I still won't ride at night let alone a small euc Falcon. Don't want to be eaten by werewolves or turn into one. Would be cool, but I want to control my transformation, and I don't think I would have that luck in that case. So I stay way from riding at NIGHT!

    @andrewwalsh2755 Před 2 dny

    When I started riding ( Gotway MSX) years ago, I found the answer to wheel wobble was removing any gap between EUC and leg, by adding hard foam as high as possible. My legs then "hug" the wheel, and prevent wheel wobble. The Falcon is not as tall as the MSX, so there is less for the legs to "hug", so there's less leg leverage, and hence harder to stop wheel wobble? As an Engineer, I'd guess the simplest solution is maybe something to increase the height, for legs to hug? (maybe some modification to the extended handle would do the job?)

    I Strongly believe this is the best EUCs in performance, weight and potability as the Teslas T2 T3 series (Pound for pound one of the BEST EUCs.) Sensei Vegan and I agree on this. Good one Gotway/ Begode, as all the other EUCs manufactures forgot about Weight, size, speed and portability. Thanks for the video guys. Cheers from Northern NJ.

    I printed another file that replaces the whole jump pad, but the part that attaches to the wheel is kind of flimsy in TPU, as compared to the original. I like the looks of this design, which just covers the original parts, which will make the pads more stable. I'll have to give this one a try

    My ks s16 BMS update was rough,, I got an email from ewheels telling me to update the BMS immediately because flawed firmware will make my cells go to zero rendering the battery useless, during the update it stopped twice, I had to restart,, eventually it went through and it updated to the latest BMS firmware 188 ,, I'm glad I didn't have to go through this

  • @dominicpelletier1621

    I had the same issue with the BMS 1.85 and there was only one battery pack that had a problem so I reset the BMS only on the one that had a problem. Since I had tried to downgrade the BMS to 1.82 and it didn't do it on the BMS in problem so when the reset was done and the wheel was up, I had to do the firmware 1.82 install so that the 2 BMS were at the same version. The problem with the firmware is that in the Kingsong App, it tells you that a newer version exist and you can install or cancel the firmware update. But when you use an iPhone/iPad with the SoftTuner App, you can upgrade/downgrade any of the firmware but you see that those latest versions are beta versions, so I guess you don't ever upgrade a BMS to a beta version. I did the display firmware upgrade to get the right display that I wanted, speed on top with the battery life on the bottom. With older display firmware, you would only see the battery life when the wheel stoped.

  • @moonbabies
    @moonbabies Před 7 dny

    The S16 is a puzzling wheel, on the outside it looks like KS is upping their game, but after some use and disassembly, it clearly has a lot of vestiges of EUCs made 2-3+ years ago. It's like a pig with makeup. That's too bad, it seemed really promising.

    For a newer rider would you recommend the KS S16 or the Begode T4?

    • @ElectricUnicycles
      @ElectricUnicycles Před 7 dny

      That's a tough call. You really can't go wrong with any wheel. I do think the S16 is a more approachable first wheel and is certainly capable enough (do get the Pro version if you go that route). Depending on your ultimate needs you will outgrow either wheel.

      Maybe watch again and listen to what I said with a more critical ear and be willing to give someone a little bit of slack. I'm not a KingSong hater and have continuously owned KingSong wheels for the last 8-years. "I think the S22 was the first KingSong wheel that allowed you to update the firmware via the app. I'm not positive about that" My exact words. I'm curious, you could update the KS14S firmware via their app? That was my 2nd wheel that I owned.

    • @russellzauner
      @russellzauner Před 6 dny

      Before you dig into it, make sure you get what's called a "spudger" in the industry - the wooden tool (they come in various shapes) so you can feel, poke around, actuate, etc things in a non-conductive way. I just wanted to add that so when you are looking for tools you can get right to them (25+ years as an engineering technician in industry, IPC trained/certified debug/solder tech); it's an obscure name but that's exactly what it's called. You can split up tongue depressors too but chopsticks are usually a bit fat unless you carve 'em. Spudgers be cheap and strong tho...

  • @allanmd
    @allanmd Před 7 dny

    In summary, the BMS wasn't really bricked. I guess it did not fully finished updating the BMS and the wheel was disturbed probably by turning it off/on and failed to fully reboot. There was no trade secret, Roger even mentioned that he really didn't do anything on the wheel and he just updated the firmware using a different device and the BMS got updated. It's just like updating a smartphone, sometimes it will tell you that the phone will turn on and off several times and it's perfectly normal so don't disturb the process and wait for the update to complete.

    • @ElectricUnicycles
      @ElectricUnicycles Před 7 dny
