Mine arrives tomorrow! Very excited to zip around short distance rides on it where my Commander Mini would be overkill.

It really is perfect for that use case.

What's not to like... it's a well thought out wheel, and I reckon Begode will sell a lot of them! Great video... all the familiar faces and a couple of new ones. Love you guys 🥰

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 bought one for offroad. I unboxed mine from eWheels a few days ago. I have no complaints except for the Trolly handle. I wish they kept the one from the prototype, I'm not a fan of the Begode design but that's just personal opinion, metal can still look cheap, and hinder seat attachment in some cases. It would be better if it locked opened as well. I crashed the Falcon twice already (once from trying to learn to sit and once from cut out , I think, because the road was clean I was trying to go 20+ mph around 30% + - battery, in race mode) Anyway all that to say that the handle is loose now because it's connected to the body through a large array of failure points(screws). It's not a huge deal obviously, but it sucks that the 6 screw heads at the front control the position of the trolley handle relative to the lock above the tail light in the back. I would like the entire handle setup to telescopic and vertically incased within the back. So it is protected and out of the way, unless I need it. As for other things. After a few months I plan on getting a hole saw bit for a drill and some waterproof grommet or similar to cap the holes I'll be drilling in the top of the plastic cover above the suspension adjustment, so I can maintain waterproofing and still be able to access the dials inside whenever I want, without tools. In regards to the stock pads, I don't mind them but I have small feet. I will be replacing them with Mini Grizzla pads maybe. I'm not sure yet. But I will say that for me the stock pads would be fine if they protruded from the sides further. The braking pad is not wide enough, and I guess the Toe gap could be a little more spacious vertically, but as much as I've rode it (20 miles) I think it is okay for me. But the pads are definitely for Asian sizes or children. All in all pretty good wheel. Would buy again.

@EclecticWizard6 13 күн бұрын

Would love to see more wheels this capable that are this size. Gonna be the perfect starter wheel for alot of people that will still be worth keeping. Edit: Rode one I love it and want one now. So much power for how small it is. It's like if an EUC was a skateboard.

@AJames-jr8kw 13 күн бұрын

Interesting your comments on tire pressure. Rafael ( Bonheur sur Seine) found it unstable at 32psi but much better at 22psi. Exactly the psi you preferred.

@scottsum1319 13 күн бұрын

Dont know for sure but its likely, preload is adjusted with diff spring weights. Too bad I'd have to wait til one of the local crew gets it to try it out. Should be a great replacement for the Assassin 'cept for the much steeper pricing

Got mine yesterday evening road for about a half hour. Wow does it feel strange. I am used to my king song 16 s. The pedals are twice as high off the ground. It starts chirping at me every time I go 25 Mi an hour

@ElectricUnicycles 12 күн бұрын

If you're not used to Begode wheels, you probably have to disable the first two speed alarms. It should not beep at 25 mph

@christophertricas9065 13 күн бұрын

Which wheel would you recommend between the S16 & The Falcon? I'm having a hard time deciding....

@ElectricUnicycles 13 күн бұрын

Depends on your use case. The S16 is a faster wheel, has cool lights, longer range. The Falcon has a better suspension, is more powerful (not faster), is much more nimble, and is smaller and lighter. If you do get the S16 be sure to buy the Pro version.

@christophertricas9065 13 күн бұрын

Thanks Marty. I've been riding an mten3 for several years. 99% of the time off road (grass,gravel and dirt.) I really need suspension and something that will not dump me on my face every time I hit a pothole in my lawn. Lol I'm 50 and and it s getting harder to pick myself up after a spill. Thanks for all the videos....

@ElectricUnicycles 13 күн бұрын

@@christophertricas9065 I think the Falcon will fit your needs nicely then. Buy it with the knobby tire for sure. P.s. a big enough pothole can still dump you 🙂 but certainly less likely with the much bigger tire of the Falcon.

Is it possible to ride it 'bottomed out' / no sus? a2 is 1k watt and this is 2800 like the t4

@ElectricUnicycles 13 күн бұрын

You can ride any suspension wheel 'locked-out" if you make the mechanical changes to do so. This would be a user mod though

@kyevae 13 күн бұрын

would this be a good first wheel? or anything out there that would be a better contender?

@ElectricUnicycles 12 күн бұрын

Certainly a very good first wheel that won't break the bank. The KingSong S16 could be another option.

Bonjour, est-il exact que le Falcon épouse trop le devers de la chaussée ( comme la Z10 de chez Ninebot) ce qui surprend et est très désagréable (sans doute un effet de la largeur du pneu tubeless) ?

@ElectricUnicycles 12 күн бұрын

Absolutely not

@alainheekhout8198 12 күн бұрын

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).

@ElectricUnicycles 12 күн бұрын

No, nothing like the Z10. It's the same tire that's on the A2.
