I like the idea of a A2+. That seems like a fun idea! I can definitely see your points about the portability element and agree the A2 is much better in that regard. That's a great trolley handle as well and like that you can ride with it up and catch it like that! I ended up putting a preorder in on the Falcon because I plan on doing a lot of trail riding with it and was curious about trying a small suspension wheel. I definitely was bummed to see they went with that jenky ET Max trolley handle style. I will probably remove all of that aluminum craziness and figure out a way to mount a stand trolley handle. FYI, I've got a picture from Jason at eWheels showing the Falcon with the new trolley handle design, but with the A2 knobby tire on it coming in at 25.65kg (56.55lbs) on a commercial scale. It might be a tiny bit heavier with the street tire since it's wider, but I doubt by much. The A2 will still be much more portable, but just wanted to let you know that it's close to 10lbs lighter than you mentioned.

Thanks for that information, I had not seen anything on a revised handle for the Falcon. I hope they can get the weight down to 55lbs! I still think the wheel will be a blast and I'm jealous of the 100v system, I just think think should rethink the ergonomics and it sounds like they are which is awesome news

@tlgrimmy 3 ай бұрын

@PEVPOV I feel ya...I'm hoping the final product ends up better with the ergonomics/portability. I have a Lynx too, but I think these smaller wheels are WAY more practical for around town stuff and even some solid trail riding. Love my Lynx, but it's a beast and very intimidating for pedestrians compared to my Kingsong 16X. I'm over 7' tall on the Lynx with a helmet on, lol (I'm 6' 1"), and the heavy gear bulks you up, so it's a bit ridiculous to ride around in a park or something. Love the smaller wheels for casual cruisin' :)'

I imagine the trolly handle is to adress when people say the top isn't protected enough, just a guess though.

How you're perceived by others when riding is a super important point. I definitely get more looks on my T4 than on my Mten-3, especially when geared up

@curtflirt2 3 ай бұрын

I would choose the Falcon, it's a mini wheel with suspension, can't beat that. I just don't like how the final look is going to be an Extreme mixed with the Commander pro

I agree. I've been riding my inmotion v10f for 3yrs and at 45lbs it is perfect. I can't imagine a 100lb wheel.

Falcon= Suspension, faster speed, more range, solid metal frame. Heavier. A2+= Carry handle, buttons on top. Waterproof. Lighter. I know which one I'm buying as well. As an adult male with two working arms, I think I can manage.

Yes I'm part of micro mobility wheeler, also multi-modal for commuting, I can't find better than my KS 14S now, it can fit under the seat in train or bus. I have a question: do you recommend you POC Helmet, is it good for a faceplant ?

@PEVPOV 3 ай бұрын

The POC helmet is MIPS rated and I’m confident in its safety if I were to hit my head, but the chin bar probably would not help much in a crash. This is technically a Ski helmet, so the chin bar was probably designed for light collisions with flags, branches, etc although it is locked in place and very sturdy

@electricguy109 3 ай бұрын

I crashed on my 14D at around 10mph with a sore rib for 3.5 weeks so regardless of the wheel, I put my gear on (especially with the potential bug of front dipping with the A2). The only thing I would change on my A2 (but affraid to play within) is the tire. The knobby tire is a pain (vibration, wobble) ! The A2 weight is not that heavy but definitely, you can feel it.

@curtflirt2 3 ай бұрын

Get a pro to do it or have your dealer do it

@PEVPOV 3 ай бұрын

I actually love the knobby! In my eyes, a street tire is counter intuitive on a wheel designed to be ridden in wet, slippery conditions

@AirJerVids 3 ай бұрын

I know from personal experience once you go suspension... you never want to go back... suspension just makes it feel so much safer too! Got a flat on my master last season and spent the extra 1-2 hrs patching it rather than have to ride my v12 to work the next day which had 4500km the previous season! Its now just a cruiser the master is the fun jumper / speed commuter.

I like your yellow pads over your shoes. Is that your personal add on. If so what’s it called and did you have to modify the existing foam pad there (if there was one)

@PEVPOV 2 ай бұрын

Hi these are from Etsy! if you watch my very first video I talk about them there a little bit but I've super glued them over the foam knobs that are on the stock pads. they work well but I would prefer if they were a little larger

Hey, very nice what you showed regarding the trolley and how easy it is both to lift the wheel or to walk with it. Can it fit in a backpack? I know the Mten4 can which is smaller and lighter. I wonder if the A2 could fit in a bigger backpack even if it is heavier but still be comfortable or passable to walk carrying it with your back. Cheers

@danielhonore265 3 ай бұрын

How fast can you go on it before it starts beeping. I have the mten 4 and they say it goes 25 mph but that's not true. I can only go 18 mph on mine. I am looking forward to the falcon. It's 100v and can go 28 mph.

@PEVPOV 3 ай бұрын

Mine is similar, beeps anywhere between 19 - 21 based on battery charge and how windy of a day it is

@gordmarshall5830 3 ай бұрын

I enjoyed your perspective but for me it's all about the battery as cruising 100+ kms is always on. 6 pack Gord

I would like to see a veteran wheel lighter than the Patton with suspension. Still want the 16 in wheel. Like the T4 but better water resistance and Veteran pad system. Sub 70 LBS.

@PEVPOV 3 ай бұрын

A revised "Patton lite" would be an awesome wheel. I think if they made a Falcon competitor with 14inch wheel + hydraulic suspension in the lightest form factor possible it would be very popular

@ItsNotMeItsYou007 3 ай бұрын

@@PEVPOV I agree. The only thing stopping me from wanting the Patton, is the weight. Too hard to get up the stairs or lift into the back of a car.

Is it true that the Falcon hugs the side of the road too much (like the Z10 from Ninebot) which is surprising and very unpleasant (probably an effect of the width of the tubeless tire).

The Falcon will bury the A2! No need for an "A2+" the real ones know the importance of suspension ;-) The falcon is the lightest monowheel with suspension and it will be more than enough to do everything and especially to do what you can't do with your A2 without taking into account that the torque and speed performance will be much better on the Falcon, so avoid selling the A2 when you are just jealous of those who will have the Falcon ;-)

I agree 100% with PEV P of V…I want a light non threatening EUC that has a great handle. I started on an MCM5 v2 and miss the ease and portability that wheel brought. I’ve got the Master which is cumbersome in a store and the Mten4 which is to much work concentrating when riding in unknown terrain. I need a middle wheel.
