    This finalized the Sherman’s clean sweep. I am now curious of how Veteran created one ultimate EUC that beat the full on assault of Begode/ Gotway in 2020. The Veteran entrance into the EUC community was a true testament of a strong arm takeover.

    stability has a lot to do with pedal height, in my observations. that is why the ks 18xl and vet sherman are generally considered Very stable wheels. in my experience with 'high pedal' wheels like the MSP or the S18 (with pedals at the top placement), stability comes with time spent on the wheel. i commend the bravery of riding a new wheel up to 50! but it will likely feel more stable as one gets used to the wheel

    It's the height that makes it behave like this during the speed. My V3 has 3d Printed seat and with foam on top is about 4 inches taller than the monster Pro, it catches wind like a sail hence the Sherman is more stable, it's relatively low wheel. I experienced this on my V3 at any wind over 10 Mph and sometimes even at no wind especially if you go to long turns at speed. It has slight under-steer. It's like fighting choppy seas. Crossing long bridges is the scariest thing when is super windy.

    Just finished watching. Great video evX.
    I am disappointed in the acceleration and torque with that kind of power. It's a bit heavier than the Sherman, but on paper the motor should be much more stronger.
    I guess the Veteran implemented a better tuned motor in the Sherman. Veteran went for a smaller motor and put in a bigger battery, to feed the motor enough electricity.
    The Monster Pro is very high. So for tall people the M. Pro with seat would be a more enjoyable sitting ride.
    I guess you not a very strong lower body to controle the Monster Pro.
    The Veteran Sherman is just a more practical EUC.

    I ride the classic V3 100v monster, the thing i love about it is that it is really comfortable to ride, you basically dont feel any smaller putholes and bumps, and it isnt that heavy (60lbs). This thing is huge and it more feels like a motorcycle without handlebars, it is really fast but i cant imagine carrying this up a set of stairs. This wheel lost the thing of "light" and fast machine combined, i'd rather buy a cyklone ebike or something than this, if unicycles will grow in size they'll eventually lose their place and ebikes will replace them. Just imagine a unicycle with 8000wh battery, 7kw and 150 pounds of weight..... but what for. Hope you get the point. (sry for my english xd)

    80% of 4,5 hours is 3,6 hours

    Try adding jump pads for extra acceleration. You can press your toes down and use your insteps to help crank the wheel forward and get it going. Its gonna feel more sluggish with the larger rim for sure, but i still see good potential with the wheels available torque. Without pads/a smaller torque motor, i can definitely see it not being loved by the nyc crew

    The wheel with lower torque can’t have better acceleration. But the rider can. You just got not enough practice on that machine to learn how make it perform like it able to. The guy who knows what to do with Gotway wheels after couple days of tuning MPro and training with it will definitely win one mile ride against you on Sherman. All best results in 0-30 acceleration were made on MSPs. Sherman got less power than Gotway wheels, that matters.

    as of the acceleration 24 Inch wheel can't beat 19 inch wheel.. there is just no way and that's where your opinion as you said not a monster rider is based on.. because you are used to the torque from small wheels... though I can't really say Sherman has torque as every time I'm on it.. it's slow during acceleration maybe because it's tuned down a bit from the first batch and maybe because I'm heavy and the wheel is heavy but even on my regular wheel I can't slow my monster quickly I can't accelerate it quickly not compared to RS .. with my weight as well.. so I think the Monster Pro will be in the similar category for big guy like me.. You will have to push it a bit. As of the tire, I asked if we can get same tire we had on V3 for MP but answer is no.. some hated the V3 tire, I love it because it's durable but it's not a carving tire.. very stable though..I'm sure there will be some other options. I will test it on Monday or Tuesday when the wheel is here.. or when the snow melts

    Brutal but honest. I think Gotway just spent too much time throwing things at the market in 2020 trying to sell new wheels for market share as opposed to producing top notch quality. Veterans single focus top quality is the reason mine is arriving in the next week or so.

    Wow
    This review is not what I was expecting. I definitively won't be an early buyer. I was going to get one right away before this video.
    I'm looking for a luxury ride but I'm sure I don't want to sacrifice speed and acceleration. I wasn't expecting a heavier wheel to accelerate faster than the lighter wheels but to say it's sluggish is disappointing. Last but not least I was hoping for a wheel that had good sounding speakers and based on this review the monster hasn't achieved that yet either.
    Thank you so much for video. For the price anyone purchasing this wheel should be wowed.
    Who would buy a Mercedes Benz S550 with a 4 cylinder engine and cheap factory speakers? Well your review seems like that's what your experiencing riding the Monster Pro.

    Thank you for this video and great insights! I am a newb but never really wanted a Monster even when I got past the initial learning curve. I am not sure when you would ever really want to hit the top speeds on the Monster with breaking like that. I have really enjoyed the Nikola as the EUC I have put the most miles on. The Nikola made me completely stop riding and sell my Onewheel XR. I am definitely considering the Sherman or one of the 60MPH hyper scooters in 2021. Have a great holiday!

    Might this be what happens when a manufacturer's goal becomes "specifications", as opposed to true "performance" and all of the ride characteristics which that entails? From the outside... that's what it looks like to me. As you pointed out... some of that may be able to be addressed via firmware, but that's a what... ~$3600, bet?

    @ullle66 Před 3 lety

    Very Honest and on the point!
    its absolutely logical that a 24inch wheel IS sluggish, and BAD in accelerating and braking.
    Makes just sense.
    You can NOT have the same acceleration on a 24 inch than on a 19/20inch! Its not a firmware thing...its physics.
    And even IF you push it like crazy...it will burn through battery as hell, cause it will need SO much amps to get it running and/or braking. Which we - btw - could see on your speed test...had a max of 8000watt :-)
    My 2 cents: I dont know what was in their mind producing a 24inch wheel....That is even just more nishe than the old one.
    And to the question how it will work on hills: How should it? it will be burning motor wires...no doubt. In now way this wheel is able to make overheat hill...

      I got one and could not compare with anything but my KS16X. And based on that, the Sherman was awesome. I love how stable and responsive it is. I can only imagine how strong the next wheel, the ‘Panzer’, would be!!
      As usual great production!!

  • @KiwiMark67
    @KiwiMark67 Před 3 lety

    I wonder how the range compared to the Sherman - 3,600 vs 3,200 Wh of battery but the weight is higher, maybe about the same range? Some of the seats for the Sherman that clip on to the roll cage and have some good design for comfort make me think that the Sherman could be more comfortable for seated riding maybe. For me it is the weight of the Monster pro as well as the price that makes me think that the Veteran Sherman would be a better choice if I decide I need a long range wheel, meanwhile I need to head out for a long ride to see what range I get on my RS (high speed) so I can think about whether I really need any more than that.

    Thanks. I like my old Monster I was hoping this would have so much more power that despite the bigger wheel diameter it would still accelerate hard and more responsive. Something akin to Sherman. I understand that batteries and big motors weigh a lot and also increase the cost but when you don't seem to be getting any major benefit..... I'm out.

I’ve had my vehicle now since July, and I love it! However, since it’s been snowing, and I’ve been using my unicycle to make some extra cash, I need to have some mudguards put on, and yes, it did come with it, but it broke within the first week I got my vehicle.
