Leaperkim has just unveiled their groundbreaking 151.2 Volt wheel, the Veteran Lynx, and we're thrilled to share that we've had the exclusive opportunity to experience one firsthand. Our hands-on testing left us utterly astounded by the unparalleled quality of craftsmanship and the sheer, awe-inspiring power that the Veteran Lynx commands. Even legendary EUC rider Kuji Rolls says the Veteran Lynx handles better than any other wheels he has ridden.
This wheel sets a new standard, leaving an indelible mark as a testament to Leaperkim's dedication to excellence and innovation in the electric unicycle industry.
In this review, we unbox, set up, walkthrough, take it for a spin, and tell you what we love and hate about the Veteran Lynx.

Thank you all for letting us know the beeps can be adjusted. Not much to hate on the Lynx once we found out the beeps can be lowered to a more tolerable level.
I’d say RTM, but there probably was none :)
Nice to see an EUC again!
We also have the Inmotion V14 coming out soon.
It's great to be back on an EUC! Well at least reviewing one since we use one to film all of our videos.
I gave one thumbs up, but would give 2+ if it were possible. The latest bloated 2-wheeled monstrosity? No thanks.
Andrew your riding skills are really progressing! You look so chill while doing those stunts! Cudos!
I’m very thankful you’ve allowed me to attend the Wrong Way school of EUC twice. I remember the first time I was scared to go down a set of 4 stairs and you just told me to commit, and just take it easy. Now, I’m dropping the 4 stairs without touching them. I’m very thankful for our friendship!
Get a room you two
Just what I wanted, a 20 inch suspension wheel at the same weight of a 16 inch wheel. Can't believe it!
Kingsong S22 Pro is 77lbs.
Well, it is easy...
First you make overweight 16" wheel , then you just do a better job and everyone is happy that you made "lite" wheel
I've been testing the Lynx at eevee's, and after a firmware update it was able to freespin to 135 km/h (84mph)
We had ours updated but they may have just released a new one.
There is a "speed mode"...
It's great to see a EUC video on the channel again, hope you cover other wheels soon!
V14 review coming soon!
they made the beep so loud probably so you could actually hear the tiltback when needed, but i agree that it's stupid that it's so loud ALL the time rather than only tiltback
Great video, looking forward to the range test, off-road test, and longer hill climbing test 🎉
i havent gotten me an EUC yet but i want one for transportation purposes. this wheel definetly sold me. what doesnt sell me is the crazy price marker these companies are putting on these wheels. at 4.5k you can get yourself a fair car that can get you from point A to point B and hold some people inside and some groceries. i think the price markup is simply to keep pace with competition from other EUC companies, there has to be an end game for this product at some point. within 200 years from now if any of these companies still exist, im sure they would be making some sort of hover motorcycle at that point lmao.
Same here. I would absolutely love an EUC but a car is much more useful and can't afford both 😢
Best review on the net. Really dig the part weight comparison to the Patton. Well done!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing review and so cool of Ewheels to provide all the pads! Looking forward to getting one.
Ewheels rocks!
Great review. Nice ride, rollers. Adventure ready!
Thanks for the review guys! I'm planning on getting a suspension wheel in the near-ish future for off-road rides that my V12HT feels a little too rough on. Definitely sounds like the Lynx should be in the running! Keep riding and have fun!
Really happy to hear that they didn't make just a heavier wheel. Because they made it lighter than the other wheel I have been considering makes it really appealing.
Great review...I like when you can see how it looks when seated
Just bought my new Lynx with your code, now you guys should have a class helping us new riders out on how to ride it haha thank you again and, would you guys help me learn how to ride it :)
Keep eye on side of pedal sharpness, I've taken the skin off my ankle bone several times on other sharp edge pedals.
Make all pedals have round edges. Thanks.
Yikes, I’m sure that was painful.
@@freshlycharged yes, it's when I'm wearing shoes that are not boots, and I miss step onto pedal scraping skin off the bone, z10. Ouch done it several times. Monter v3 again sharp and ouch Don it a few more times.
Yes I usually wear high side boots, but now and then I jump on with wrong shoes on. Imagine if I crashed and pedal landed on my.
Master pro pedals are more rounder and I've not lost skin on them yet.
Yes make pedal edges round for sure.
It's now my big thing to check.
Ha you could test by scrapping ankle bone down side of pedal and see if it cuts all the skin off.
Wow, small world. I grew up near Arapahoe Road and I-25. Bought a house and live in Charleston now, but my folks, brother, sister and their families still live around that area. All of my neighbors went to Cherry Creek High School. Know the area really well.
Looks like a fun thing to ride. However, I'm 46 and broken from years of work, so I'll just have to enjoy watching you ride it!
I love my og sherman v2, will probably ride it until either it or i go bad.
But i would get a lynx in a heartbeat if i could afford one
well done, thank you for sharing
The latest firmware on the Sherman-S allows you to set the volume of the beeps that sound when turning on the wheel or playing in the settings. So that's another irritant gone 😎
I remember it was just you at first running this channel Jimmy, happy Andrew stayed :-)
Looks like fun. This makes an old guy say wow. That's not something anyone can operate. You men are talented. Ride on
I really need to try one of these. The form factor seems perfect for my Commute to Boulder.
There's always a new, better, more powerful, more whatever wheel coming out soon. I just bought the Patton and have been mostly happy with it, but I think the larger diameter tire would be better for the off-roading I usually do. My Master (non-Pro) feels less tiring and more stable both on and off-road, though the suspension on the Patton is very good and not rattly. Also, the Patton has a remarkable range given the size of the battery. 40 miles with battery charge to spare is easy. On the Master with those high discharge cells and smaller capacity - not so much.
I have a sherman s that I'm thinking about trading for a Patton. What's your location?
@@prawnshop4573 Tucson, AZ.
Pretty cool guys ! Neat Ewheel
I assume you can turn down/off the interface beeps, without reducing the volume of the safety beeps, from the menu... Just like you can on the SS & Patton.
Thanks for the insight. Andrew watched a video to adjust the settings but it was an older video before the update was pushed through. Definitely a game changer to make them less aggressive.
Great Video!😊👍
Great review, look for beeper volume in the settings, the latest firmware update on my Sherman-S added that fonction
Will do! Thanks for the tip!
Nice review, feeling better and better about putting my deposit down!
Nice bonus for ER docs!
Andrew lookin hella comfy on a EUC. fast & smooth ⚡️😎
I attended the school of Wrong Way twice now and got my bachelors degree in shredding. Working on getting a Masters next.
😄🤙🏾❗️
I know that the Patton pads have been great for me and if they are the same they will work for many people. I like the look of that wheel but currently have an S22 Pro so am waiting for something bigger 😅I have a pev It has a big battery and sometimes I get a little nervous when I keep it in the house because the lithium ions have can be very difficult to use,
I go up that hill at cherry creek reservoir seated on my sherman s including the east side he came down on, you need to test it on a much steeper hill to see how it will compare to the SS. GREAT VID GUYS!
Got any good steep hills in mind?
Im still looking 😂@@freshlycharged
I love loud beeps, it helps when your riding with a helmet on other wheels I can barely hear the beep with helmet on
Aww yeah great review
Great video guys, I really hope they unlock the firmware, I’m very optimistic that this is a 60mph cruiser.
I do think they will eventually unlock it but it is better to be safer than sorry when using self balancing software.
I have one pev That’s got a massive battery, and occasionally I get a little anxiety over storing it in the house as lithium ions can be so finicky, but When I look at Jimmy’s videos, I don’t feel so bad anymore as his stock could level a city block Yet, I highly doubt he’s worried about it.
😂 we do have that anxiety as well but we try to be smart with how we charge and store the PEVs.
Wow this looks like a good one! Thank you guys for the review
Thanks for the support!
I saw the v14 in the background are you guys making a video about that too? Anyway great video
I don't know what pads come with the Lynx but I would have liked for the stock pads to have been part of your review. I know that the Patton pads are very good for me and if the same on the Lynx they would be fine for lots of people.
eWheels didn't have the pads in stock yet, but they should be coming soon. They should look like the one that is in the video.
Damm,It's better than my Commander Pro
It ain't a good wheel until Chooch go "Full Send" and crash. That is also how we get Max speed tests
Lol, I learned my lesson on the Master not to go for high speed tests on EUCs. czcams.com/video/e5ki31f2NMI/video.htmlsi=efKATnEKnVXAODHV
How does the Lynx torque compare to the S22 Pro? My biggest concern with the Lynx is that it's only 3.2kW compared to the 4kW S22 Pro. Does the higher voltage make up for lower wattage motor?
I was just about to press buy on the inmotion v11y but seeing how many people outgrow their wheel fast I feel like it'll happen to me too
it's really hard to sell pev's where I live so I think going big and never buy again is the move, while I'm saving the money, I'm hoping not to see bad user reports/issues about the lynx
NICE
I cruze mostly everywhere on my og Sherman at 70 kmh for many many miles never one problem ever over 20,000 thousands plus on it . Theses new suspension wheels are to top heavy and not to mention riding with wind with a top heavy wheel makes it very wobbly and unstable. I will keep my og sherman and gonna buy the Sherman max .
That's funny in EUC world that every new video you post you could name the same as you did here xD
It’s an arms race for the most powerful EUC.
Lynx or wait for 160+ volts... Hmmm. Money and time are in play. Lynx is looking awsome.
Had I not bought a Begode Ex30 a few months ago, in addition to already dropping a few more hundreds of dollars on Clark Fairing Kit, pads, iron man pedals & recently, the new upgraded shock linkage setup, I most definitely would have bought this one. But too much money has gone into my EX30 to part with it now so hopefully by time I'm ready for a new euc even more improved eucs will be out.
I love my ex30 especially with my set up. The lynx looks like a awesome beautiful wheel but I'm sure the ex30 gets more range and is just as fast as the lynx someone tapped out at 64 mph on the ex30 that's moving but I love how the lynx doesn't weigh as much and looks slot more appealing then the ex30
@tremartin4727 The slightly less weight & extra safety features are the only 2 reason I would have chosen the Lynx over the EX30. The shock system also seem better as well but pretty much a none factor for me since being 52 I primarily just cruise streets & leave the jumping, going down steep steps & whatnot to the younger folks who bones can heal much faster than mine. Overall I'm pleased with my EX30 thus far but the Lynx probably would have been my choice if it was out before I purchased the EX30.
There’s a setting in the menu to turn beep volume down so it’s not even an issue.
If the feature isn’t on that firmware I’m sure it will be soon since the other veteran wheels have it
Be careful on that thing. I cut out going 60mph 😅
Got video of it? Sounds gnarly. Seems like these should have a speed limiter that kicks in whenever it approaches overheating or whatever causes that.
What do you guys think about tire change? Simple to swap?
I really hope veteran makes those beeps less loud that could be really annoying as a daily wheel which is what I plan on using it for.
you can turn the volume down apparently
So this and the sherman s are the 2 best wheels available? Which is best between the 2?
For me, I just don’t like the reduction in battery compared to the Sherman-S / Max. I get that most people will be fine with the reduced battery capacity, but as a 260 lbs rider I can “only” get about 50-60 miles on a full charge on my Max and I have sag about 30 miles in where I can’t push it as hard or sustain high 30-40 mph.
That’s a good point but some people don’t mind having a lower range to have a more powerful and portable wheel. The great thing is there are lots of excellent choices out right now.
@@freshlychargedwe are talking 10 lbs at most btw the Sherman s and lynx. It’s not that much more
Portable here. It’s still a beast.
@@caninphx10% drop in weight in not insignificant
Is yours a 62lb suspension? How much does Andrew weigh? There’s been a lot of chatter about the 70lb being too firm for everyday riding, but as far as I can find it seems like the only rider with a 70lb unit is Jack. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I’m having trouble making up my mind of that suspension option to choose.
I know that hill. you guys live in the mountains?! I would love to go out and ride with you sometime!
I’m around the same weight as Andrew should I get the 70lb suspension or the 66? 🤔🤔
In terms of torque, would this be an upgrade from a master ? I still love my master and put around 80kms aweek on it, the only trouble I have is overtorquing under braking. I routinely overtorque it when braking hard and feel the rotor skipping (I ride at probably close to 100kgs fully geared, and I'm a very agressive rider in Paris, so I need torque to outbrake and outaccelerate everything). I rarely overtorque it on acceleration due to my pad set up, but I'd do with more headroom still, would this wheel be for my use case ? Thanks !
Ya u need to be aggresive in paris. Cops will fuck u up when u get caught. Much luck.
like how you can sit on the top
I love the look of that wheel but currently have a S22 Pro so waiting for something bigger 150V+ and 3600WH+ 😅
Before confusing others, oscillation and wobble are different terminology. If it's oscillation then wheel needs to be fixed (oscillation refers to movement forward and backward viciously) whereas wobble is demonstrated when you do fast braking and some wheels like commander Pro have wobble while braking
Good point.
It's not the wheel that wobbles, it's the rider. Can be fixed in many ways. You can carve while braking, you can set rear pads higher up, you can ride with lower pressure in the tyre or you can just get more experience with the wheel.
A wobble is a type of oscillation, just not the type you’re talking about.
Oscillation is a general term.
A motor oscillation is a malfunction as you mentioned.
Wobbles can happen for different reasons. Fast braking is one of the common cases, yes.
@@darkstar4494 obviously U never experienced wooble and oscillation then no point trying to be smart ...if U ride Ex30 early days then U knew what happened before they fixed it via firmware
@@sby1076 just clarifying terminology.
Yes I’ve experienced wobbles.
I believe I’ve experienced the type of oscillations you mentioned when a board went out way back on my msx. It was not rideable.
Maybe it’s slightly different than the malfunction you experienced on ex30.
This isn’t relevant though, it doesn’t matter if I’ve experienced it personally.
oscillation is a general term.
Wobbling that increases in amplitude also involves resonance, another general term.
How easy is it to learn to ride one of those things..... So far my experience with electric vehicles are: the one wheel, electric skate board, cars and motorcycle.... I like keeping my stuff looking nice so that's why i'm wondering about learning to ride one without scratching it by dropping it.
What lbs suspension does yours have? 62, 66, 70?
@ 2:06 some mistake.. Patton has 18 inch wheel , not 16 inch
55mph..
Just because I feel like dying today!
I wanted to know what the real life range is ??
if it's like on the Patton and Sherman S, the volume of the buttons is adjustable
That is good to know because currently they are loud. It is in the settings on the wheel? I adjusted a bunch of things but didn't know that was adjustable.
@@freshlychargedI have a Patton and once I updated the firmware it became an option towards the end of settings "bt vlm"

I have an EUC, but I wanted to get a folding ebike. After seeing reviews of a bunch of them, I realized how under powered they all were. I was just like, man... My lower end EUC can go up hills like nothing, and these ebikes I was watching were struggling to get up them. I will wait a little longer until a more powerful folding ebike comes along.
The only Ebikes worth mentioning are Sur-Rons and Onyxs. Don't know if there is anything better/faster than those 2 currently. Those are the 2 I was interested in a few years ago.
@@jessa.3857They’re not folding.
💯‼️💙
The shocks are actually (almost) identical!! the shocks are now progressive
Loud beeps for high speed safety ❤️
Apparently, we can turn them down but it is good to have them loud when traveling at high speeds.
@@freshlycharged Agree! I modded my Shermax beeper by removing the "net/grille" covering the beeper and flipped it 180° (mounted with longer screws and plastic distances) so that it now faces upward but still not loud enough for my taste. Want to feel confident I'll hear it at any speed.
Looks like a nice wheel. Ive been carving on my a2 and ready for a big boy euc. This one has bms?
this wheel does have a smart bms
They all have a BMS but it does have a smart BMS.
Andrew's rippin on that thing! He always looks like he wants to start beef when he's in the background with Jimmy talking though LOL idk what it is, he looks like he wants to fight 😆. It'd be cool to see more ride videos, no reviews necessary, just my 2 cents. 🤷♂🤜🤛
Lol, I have RFF in a helmet. Resting fight face. 😂
@@Andrew-vt4jt 😆😆
all those bikes n euc n scooters yall have sell em i need one
Big question, V13 or Lynx??
How much do you weigh and what‘s your lbs on the Lynx again..?
@freshlycharged How is the waterproofing on the Lynx?
There is no official water resistance rating but veteran wheels have been known to be really water resistant. Wrong Way lives in Poland and rides his Sherman Max in wet conditions all the time and has never had any issues with water ingress.
Looks like a great wheel but not that much of an upgrade from my ex30 in terms of top speeds and acceleration (especially with field weakening in race mode) and less range than the ex30.. I'll wait to see how the 168v commander gt pro turns out.. will likely be a bigger upgrade power wise over my ex30.. for now my ex30 and Extreme already cover all my riding needs very well but this looks to be the best racing wheel to date made (for now)
The suspension is a lot better than the EX30 but you can upgrade the linkage or suspension on it. In terms of craftsmanship, the Lynx beats it in all areas except for not having a C40 high torque motor. I like the EX30 but I prefer the ride quality on the Lynx.
@@freshlychargedHow does the power compare? Assuming as a light rider the lynx will have similar acceleration to the EX30?
Looks like you had the 62lb suspension, did you have any trouble with bottoming it out?
I didn’t but I do think it would have issues over time. Luckily, they supplied us with the 66 lb coil to replace it with. Ultimately, Andrew would like the 70 lb one because of his weight.
@@freshlychargedwhy would you have issues over time?
Because the suspension will get looser, or because you will do bigger jumps?
cmon guys, you can lower the beep volumes on the display, good video
Thanks for the insight. Not much to hate on the wheel if the beeps can be lowered. I watched an older video to adjust the settings but the update had not been released yet on the wheel in the video.
is that max grade is 45%?
What's the range because at the moment it doesn't look like it can beat an ex30 or master?😅
It's not getting as much range as the ex30, the ex30 has a bigger battery forsure
How dangerous are these? Do they have more or worse accidents than other wheel transports?
I've hit 10.5k peak Watts on my Lynx
👍
I’m interested in that @7:59 hoodie. Where can I get one from?

Basically perfect wheel for a pile of gold 😳🦾
What pound suspension would you recommend for a 225lb guy ?
I’d say the 70 lb would be the best choice for you.
I'm a big guy, 6'1 320. Would an an EUC like this have the Power and structural capacity for me to ride it,?
Hell no loll
Thought u guys getting the v14
We do have it and the review will be coming out shortly.
Magnesium body with a lithium battery? That sounds like an explosive thing to crash!
I enjoy all of the PEV content, but I 100% stay for the EUC content. Definitely top contender for replacing my RS19.
You would love thin wheel coming from an RS19.
Not long ago the abrams was being slated for only having a 2700 battery........what's changed.
This is what happened after a Patton spent a few months going to the gym! Lol
teşekkür
Patton beeps are pretty loud already 😂
Apparently we can turn them down, so there’s little to hate about the Lynx.
What is the top speed ?
