It is a wonderful machine! I regard it as a toy due to the very different way it rides compared to other EUCs, but I'm glad you get so much utilitarian use out of it and it's been so reliable and useful to you.

@@WheelGoodTime you're not wrong about that. I can't lean to accelerate on the mten4 pretty much at all and have to use my toes/torque on the unit. I also have it set to tiltback at 19mph and I ride the tilt the entire way. I was feeling really unsafe by it and so i got the mini. The first time I looked at the floor to go fast was really something. You can put your body in front of the mten4 but not really bend. The ride dynamics are entirely different but the mechanisms behind it are the same and do pass back and forth. The only issue I had at first with the mini was that it was so damn heavy respectively that it was awkward to get on. I'm getting better at mounting and its still heavy for me a little bit. I am rather small. Have a hard time getting good torque onto the unit with the pedals/pads but with how much I can lean over it its fine for now. My top speed is 41mph which is good for me. The advantage for me for the mten4 over the a2 is that with this nice weather the mten4 sortof lives in NY trunk right now. Usually because I forget to grab it mind you, I feel really bad that its become something of a second thought. So whenever I'm forced to drive I always have a wheel and it takes up basically no space and I feel confident enough to ride at a rreduced speed with reduced gear. Its like an edc thing; I don't leave the house without it unless I'm on the mini. And trust, i have a bag that's purpose made for holding the mten4 if I wanted to.. I would. Thing is weightless. Its convenience is worth every penny of its small price tag. Was much easier to convince the wife for new riders. I think wrong way actually said in his video about it that he was worried because of its sick looks and low price tag that it would draw in new riders that would be better suited to not this. But I feel like the ones that do get it will transition well to a faster wheel if they even need to. If you could put a better motor or more batteries in this package I might not have upgraded. Even the 750wh does more speed than me T.T and mind you even the 20mph that I get is flying compared to some of the earliest wheels people still ride today

Wow! 73 years old! You're an amazing dude! I wish you to continue to soar above the earth! Greetings from St. Petersburg!

Thanks for the complement@@devili190 . I have got the wheel working again but only after paying Begode £148 more to send me a new motherboard, which was fairly easy to fit and off I went able to ride again. I am annoyed with Begode who claim I had misused the wheel and allowed water to get into the electronics despite the fact that I showed them several videos of the perfectly dry interior of the machine - I think they just wanted to get out of paying for their faulty machine but not being an electronics expert I can't prove it. Meanwhile the wheel is still working fine and is great fun to ride, as ever.

Nobody is going to read past the first six sentences if you put your entire life story on here no one's going to read it

I might be off but I remember the diode is on the battery management chip, whatever effect it has on the battery performance must not be immediate and likely won’t effect the performance when he’s only “testing”,shorter rides on it.

So no more fires? First timer

There have been zero fire incidents from any of those EUCs, and not a single battery fire from any EUC model since the Kingsong S20 (now called the S22). You are pretty safe choosing any of those options, depending on what your intended use case scenario is. You can buy any of those with confidence that they won't burst into flames. The days of current generation EUCs having battery fires is over. 😊

​@@WheelGoodTime Thanks for the reply, it's quite reassuring to hear. 😃 My primary need for a wheel right now is for longer distance travel, both for personal leisure and for grocery shopping, all while ensuring comfort for my knees and lower back. Given these requirements, the Sherman S seems like a good purchase, especially considering I tend to ride at lower speeds, which should minimize maintenance needs.

I absolutely do! That's great news!

50s version question mark what the hell

Those were 3d-printed, I'm not sure by whom. In order to get those pads on, you have to cut off the built-in (not very good) pads to create a flat mounting surface. On my personally owned A2, I don't have the heart yet to cut off those pads, in case I mess it up 😂 If you know someone who does pad 3D printing in your area/country, there's lots of designs that you can choose from on thingiverse. 😊

It takes a brave soul, but you'd need to cut off the "pads" that are included - I suggest using a knife and a metal file to get it smooth-ish. Then lots of Velcro. It won't be pretty but it sure is useful

Sure was!

I actually just got the A2 for my daughter - they redesigned the trolley handle and it doesn't block the tail light any more 😊

@@WheelGoodTime Yesss, let's go!!

@@WheelGoodTime Where did you buy it from? I'm stilling seeing a lot of the old "bad" versions.

@@leetNightshade I got it all from next gen mobility. The new trolley handle has bars that are on the sides in the rear part of the wheel so they don't obstruct the rear light.

That's the nickname it was given because a prominent person had their ankle broken on it within the first few minutes of riding. It's not officially called "the assassin" 😜

@@WheelGoodTime oh ok thanks, i was searching for the assassin unicycle I liked the name

Hard to say. I haven't had enough time with the mcm5 to give an accurate comparison. But, I like the A2 enough that I ordered one for my daughter shortly after making this video 😁

@@WheelGoodTime Thank you

That's the "mtiny" - a homemade micro EUC 😊

@@WheelGoodTime Thanks for the reply and info!

Came here to ask the same question! NICE!

Nope. Dumb BMS with fuses.

Thanks for your feedback. I still would never recommend an mten to an adult learner, because the writing mechanics are completely different. Since you have to put the weight of the wheel on your ankles on an mten, as opposed to the calf region on other eucs, it's a rather different learning experience. I'm not saying that those wheels are bad, it's just different by comparison, and the a2 is about the smallest I would go for recommending to an adult learner. Again. It's not a bad wheel, it's just in a different category because of the different ride mechanics.

@@WheelGoodTime As I mentioned above, I'm as close as it gets to a professional wheel trainer, six years of teaching people and getting paid to do it, and MTen3 is so useful as a training tool that I have five of them so I can do group lessons and keep everyone occupied.

Do you remember what your pwm safety margin percentage was set at?

@@WheelGoodTime I think my power alarms were set at 85% also forgot to mention it was on the mten4 lol

@@WheelGoodTime what is it pwm if that set lower will it cut out at lower speeds ?

Lol that's the "mtiny" - a homemade EUC. They put the battery in a wearable backpack 🤣

Aw he's a good rider 😂 he's got more experience than you and I combined most likely. But hey, it could have been rider error for sure. I have enough confidence in the A2 that I bought one for my daughter, so I truly think it just got a rough start but is still a reliable wheel.

Thanks for your input! I acknowledged my bad choice in the video as well 😉

It looks like he's going about 5 mph in this video. Jeff, I hope you wear a helmet when you're taking your dog for a walk, too.

I was going between 5 and 12 mph in the entire video 😊 I believe in progressively gearing up as speed increases. I acknowledge I could have sworn a helmet to set a good example for KZfaq purposes, but in reality I wouldn't wear one typically going that speed in real life as an experienced rider

This is one single isolated incident that has not been replicated after extensive troubleshooting, and not a single other A2 has been known to have this happen. It's easy to blame "evil Begode" but this really hasn't happened at any other time with any other A2. It just so happens that it occurred with a higher profile figure in the EUC community... Roger did tell the truth.

@@WheelGoodTime yes but the history of Begode and their carelessness isn't isolated. Every EUC they come out with there is always a serious problem. My biggest thing with them is that they never ever take resefor NOTHING, NOTHING at all and always try to blame the rider. That's why I don't like them. At least if there was a problem with Inmotion and Kingsong they would take responsibility and that's respectable.

@@curtflirt2 I understand your frustration. Please don't accuse Roger of dishonesty after he put forth a good faith effort to troubleshoot it. Remember that every single brand except LK has had numerous battery fires and has accepted the same level of responsibility as Begode (very little).

@@WheelGoodTime Aight, I'll cut him some slack

well...they trying to get in bed with begode. these wheels are not cheap!
