I agree with practically everything you said. Well done. I love my SS. Can’t ask for much more.

3rd & 4th generation reviews are the most important because they indicate whether the wheel has longevity and support.

Great video! I just crossed 800 miles on my Sherman S and i dont think i ever went above 38mph. Such a comfy cruise and it feels really powerful for a 100 volt wheel imo. Love that i can take this at long exploration trips and easily take off road paths here and there as well! I always keep a small bottle of tire slime in my backpack for use if i ever have bad luck with a flat tire on a trip.

Smart rider 👍

Very informative video and brutally honest when it comes to safety. Keep it up.🥰

I'd like to add something concerning body armor. You may not be as protected as you think you are. I recently had my first fall on my ShermS. Since I was only going 16 mph I couldn't understand why I had such bruising on my knees and elbows. I expected some but nothing like I had. So I did some investigating. If you have the Leatt Dual-Axis knee guard like I did, reach inside, there is a pocket, and feel around for the armor that is protecting you. In my pair it was about the size of four postage stamps. Nothing like I was expecting. So I ordered a set of gel body armor from Sas-Tec and slipped a pad into each knee pocket leaving what was already there intact. I did the same for the elbow pads but realized due to my bendy parts I had to remove their foam pad. A week ago I was navigating a terrible sidewalk and fell down - again on my knees and elbows. I didn't feel a thing. Where you can add armor do so. I was able to replace the armor on my Leatt shoulder pads and they are larger and more comfortable. I could put two pads there and may well do so. The bottom line is don't blindly trust your protection. Get it and inspect it and replace or add to it if necessary. I even wear a small pad in my shoes that protects my inner shin as the Leatt's don't come down far enough. I'm tall and the best part is I never feel the pad (armor) after about two minutes. You think you're tough until you realize you aren't. Hard lesson.

I think your review is my sweetspot conversation and description. If there is a upgrade for the next wheel is battery swap as well tire change that's less of a hassle. Otherwise your breakdown is exactly where I think a lot of us are.....Thanks

i bought ex30, quite enjoying it, but your review made me think) great and comprehensive review)

Good to see a video about us little people lol. I got the t4 and I do love it on the road I'm now riding the beeps off road the t4 is still beautiful for me. I got till next spring to Pic a new wheel but that Sherman s hands down just looks sexy all the way around. So hard to Pic because of the cost

So insightful and thoughtful review 👏 THANK YOU for keeping it real 😊

SPOT ON!!!!! (SUB) I have a motorcycle background, i still ride both bikes (GSXR600 & Concourse 1400) The level of concentration needed maintaining traffic speeds, watching for other cars, potholes, slick surfaces and high winds just to enjoy the ride can take some of the fun out of riding. EUC's allow me to go much slower and take in the beautiful surrounding without most of the dangers associated in keeping up with traffic on a motor bike. I love my SS and my V11/V8s before that. Now with 2600 miles on my sherman-s carring 250lbs even riding in deep waters on rain out trails or very steep seated off-road hill climbing im so very impressed with this wheel, and i still get over 80 miles of range, not a single issue. I almost went with the V13 but so glad i switch my dep over to the SS. IT REALLY IS A GREAT ALL-AROUND WHEEL!!😇

Im a Sherman S owner and Dudeee big thumbs up to your video. I agree with all of your points . Wow. This deserves a sub!

Great review - agree with a lot of what you say. Don't want to become one of those countries where these wheels are banned

Beautiful review ❤ Love both my Sherman Max and Sherman S. I alternate which I ride every other day. Thanks brother!!🙏

New sub!! I love both my Sherman S and Sherman Max!!❤

I hope so much a op rating for the next sherman!! This is what missing so much on my actual sherman s

Thank you for this video. I really liked you going over the speed stats. I'm fairly new and currently riding a V12HT. I've only got about 600 miles so far, mostly on trails and such. Lately as I've become more comfortable I've been using it to do a bit more commuting, I've been wanting a bit more speed so when I'm forced to use the road I can do so safely. We have a lot of 45 mph roads that go through town, and it would be nice to not get ran over and also not have to take always take long detours. I think next year I'll pick up the Sherman S, because everything you went over and what others have said will work well for my use case. The gear talk was great too!

I'm brand new to euc's. This video was awesome 👌🏽. I learned a lot from it. Thanks ... your new subscriber❗️

Very Well done video, I agreed with just about everything said here!

I’d totally get an S over a Patton just due to the range and stability, but I can’t exactly afford something like that being a college student only being able to make monthly payments on a wheel. I’m obsessed with the feeling so I want something that’ll last, and the Patton seems like it’s been through it’s batches. I’m waiting for the wheel with such excitement but man, if I get a great job and get a second wheel this is it. I hate driving cars now that I’ve been able to get through my town’s traffic with ease. Your video felt like you spoke for all riders very well. Even though I’m a speed demon myself I simply want something that works and is safe. Thank you for this masterpiece

The background music was just going straight to my head

Good video and thoughtful commentary

really interesting discussion of the shoes

Great info!

Great review. You kinda remind me of Spite's Corner, who does motorcycle review in Texas. You definitely have a good voice and speaking cadence, and relay information in an organized way.

Amazing review and I appreciate you taking the time to share it. I will definitely look through your other videos and be back to watch your new content but….. I would like to give you a little constructive criticism. I found that the background music got to be pretty annoying after having to hear it non-stop for the entire video.

Im glad you made this video - i have the V11 but have been looking for the best all around EUC.....

Dood... I sooooo feel you on the "just take it out of the box and it works" with regards to the suspension. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy high ROI tinkering - BUT, I also appreciate best-ish in class adjustable suspension out of the box VS multiple half day teardown and reassembly jobs to test, tweak, test, tweak, test...... etc.

Great review and awesome points. I just got the patton because I am a smaller guy and love it so far. I do think 100v is perfectly sufficient, but also see the benefit of the 126+ voltages. Not so much for speed and headroom, but really feel the better responsiveness for braking and getting out of trouble riding around nyc.

Good honest opinions. I'm not a rider but I'v been following The euc scene for two months Now and i think it's something i could get into. I have been looking at the sherman s Rather closely and you have peaked My interest in it even more. Euc's are advancing quickly so Who knows what's going to better it. 😎GB

7:15 really good point. I found myself daunted by all the DIY stuff I was seeing with regard to maintenance and upgrades. I want something that works out of the box and isn’t going to require me tinkering with it. I got the Shermax because I wanted a no nonsense wheel with no worries about maintaining/tweaking the suspension.

Great review. But I still think that higher voltage makes sense. It has better acceleration and what is much more important - better breaking. And you do not have to use the crazy torque if you do not want to. In my opinion EX30 is better street cruiser - lower center of gravity and also good suspension. I know a guy who bought EX30 (he also had V11 before) and he loves it so much.

Thank you

The EUC world stats is very interesting. I'd say most people with these wheels are in cities and can't usually push the higher speeds. I know here in NYC you can push 40mph for a few seconds, but then need to slow down to a stop for a red light or a stopped car nearly every 100 feet.

I personally ride a Begode master pro and the range, stability and speed is like no other. My average cruising speed is between 45-50mph and with a 4800wh battery I can go at least 70 miles on one charge

I found CROCS saddles to be great for gripping the pedals. Not the house slippers/clogs style of Crocs btw. I've got a friend from who Rides the withlacooche state trail from one to the other. 46 mile bicycle trail. Gulf Trailhead to Dade City Trailhead. She has the Veteran Sherman Max I believe, no suspension. When she reaches Dade City, she rides into Dade City to recharge a little, eat, drink, relax at a park. She likes to show off her EUC to people. I ran into her and she let me Ride it. I'm a Total noob to eucs. I'm hooked. I want to trail ride long distances. Sight see. She lives near the north trailhead on the withlacooche trail. She lets me know when she is riding down. So I can ride it and practice. Her husband drives down in his truck in case she wants a ride back, but she usually EUC it back home. Only time I seen her ride the truck home, it was a 100°F day in the shade. She got heat exhaustion & dehydration that day. Her husband can't ride eucs due to a balance issue from his Military days. I'll tell her about your channel and the Orlando EUC community, just in case she doesn't know about them already. She wants me to get a EUC. So I can ride up to her and we can ride back here, then she can back alone. Me, I just want a Long Range electric vehicle that make it both ways at around 15-25 mph. It's a 92 mile trail both ways. 46 one way. Anyways. Shermans are GREAT 🤘

Daily rider on mine with 3000 km as of last week.

On your speed/safety discussion... I just upgraded form a 16X to a Patton with street tire... for mostly bike path and street riding. I'm a pretty tame rider speed wise, even more so than you. I look at it like this... multiuse bike paths are restricted to Class 2 electric bicycles, roads to Class 3. IOW, 20mph and 28mph respectively. Some would argue that we are in an unrestricted "gray area"... and they probably aren't wrong. However... I like to play it safe and at least look like I'm maintaining something close-ish to those parameters. The times that I have been stopped and questioned... it seemed to help that I knew the rules and was able to show an intention to follow them ie. a speed alarm set for 28mph... All that said... around those speed parameters even the Patton has plenty of battery for me. It's a pretty rare occasion that I plan on exceeding 50 miles.

As a relatively new rider 1. I totally agree with the statement regarding power/top speed ie 134v3600wh systems being kinda over kill for average/new riders. 2. I’ve had good luck with Kinect DL shoes, definitely not random brand cross trainers. Does flat lander make a full finger glove with palm sliders and wrist guard ? 🤔 I haven’t adopted using a motorcycle grade helmet yet but will eventually,Predator DH6-X air is currently what I use for now. Waiting on the fifth batch of 66lbs Sherman S’s to arrive. Great video, very informative for newer riders like me. 🔥 thanks man.

Awesome video bro!! #floatgang

Loving the video and your takes on things . I would love if you could lower the music a little, it’s a little distracting from what you’re saying. I’m going to subscribe now 👍

Great review. Suggestion: music a bit too loud.

The e-rides spiked pedals are a game changer. I use Forma low adventure motorcycle boots with the SS for ankle protection from the high pedals. (Kinetic DLs for my non-spike wheels.)

man something about the background music made listening to 30 minutes of dialogue feel very easy

The smooth motorcycle boots are usually for racing, because it's a drag racing technique to keep both feet on the ground and drag them on the ground during takeoff for maximum stability. Cruiser and Adventure style boots tend to have more tread since those people aren't focused on racing, but the material is still hard (not grippy) since they're meant to hold up under contact during high speed.

I was going to buy the Sherman s but I feel like they will be coming out with a 134v. I'm currently been with og Sherman v3 still satisfies me but that handle on that Sherman S is a no go the handle on the og v3 has been amazing

Very good video interesting !music is distracting bit like child pulling your sleeve while your talking !👍

I guess I didn’t realize I was an above average rider. My average riding speed is around 45+. I have pushed out to 55+ but only when I’m having fun. Yup did a gear vid myself, I try to dress for the slide.

How'd you attach that JBL to your pads? That's a nice setup! You could get one for each side and pair them to get a nice stereo sound 🤙

I don’t believe in speed limitations. It should be the riders prerogative to heighten their risk, not the companies. With every form of transportation, speed is a evolutionary process that should be celebrated. In my opinion, slamming speed takes away from the accountability of the rider. It’s akin to weapon laws. It’s not the weapon, but the person controlling it.

How is this compared to the Sherman Patton?

Do recommend sherman S for new riders to buy right away as their first wheel? I feel like I don't want to waste money on a starter wheel and I then get bored out of it quickly. I have done that before with my first motorcycle and within 3 month I out grown it and needed 600cc 😂

someone should try using those fixed gear bicyclists' thich cordura pedal straps for foot retention

I live in California - what online company sells the Sherman S.....Is there a street tire option?.....I want to order one!😊

Honestly, you're still relatively new as an EUC rider so at the one year mark, you are at the greatest risk for injury.

Exceptional video and content, not a fan of the background music. Took away from your speech.

Motorcycle boots work fine on other brand spike/grip tape pedals. The problem is the Sherman S stock pedals. They are garbage.
