That is so conscientious of you Dawn, using your bell to alert people that you are coming up from behind. People appreciate this very much, and i always use a bell, after many people request me to do so. I was happy to start using a bell. This makes everyone happy. and i was once passed on a sidewalk by a scooter that was traveling around 30 miles per hour, and the feeling was quite unpleasant. i never heard the scooter coming and this helped me to understand that letting people know you are behind them, is a great courtesy indeed.
Thanks for making this video. I thought I was the only one having a hard time adjusting to this wheel. This is my first big, heavy wheel. I have a Gotway MCM5 as my first wheel. It almost feels like relearning how to ride.
@@DawnSChampion that does seem pathetic lie low for a wheel with a battery that size I got more than that out of my first generation Sherman I've heard it said that the 134 v Wheels are more efficient and therefore get longer-range, this doesn't seem to be the case
@@scottydiver5114 not at the speeds and acceleration I was at. I have a Sherman Max with over 2k miles on it and it's about the same mileage but with way more speed and acceleration. I've done 90 mile mountain rides with this wheel. Marty has done over 100 miles on his EX30, I believe, and we're going to be doing a 120+ mile mountain ride with ours next Sunday (with charging). The battery life on the EX30 is not a disappointment.
I finally get my ex30 this coming Tuesday and have been extremely excited for months. But now that excitement has gone away between hearing about the issues with the batteries & range. I was expecting you to be excited after riding the ex30 like you first were after riding the commander pro.
im most concerned with all 134v wheels. they seem to have a lot of problems. starting with the battery structure, the suspension linkages, the battery electronics... but most of all the controller seems to cut out a lot on people.
Great video! 👍 No need to change anything, absolutely love your style of reviews 😀 Just say it like it is, even if you are conflicted from one moment to the next... love it one moment, and hate it the next ... 😂
its actually very easy to get the power on the ex-30 once ur are moving. I feel that it has more power and stability for me than the c-pro (6'4" 270) I notice the acceleration much more on the ex-30 at my weight and it is very nimble imo. (cpro felt nimble as well. I am glad I choose the ex-30 as I was able to ride them both before I bought the ex-30.. I notice smaller riders like the c-pro ..if you are my size go with the ex-30 as I felt right at home on it and didnt have to lean to get the power at all except when I was stopped and starting on an incline. Cheers PS I Only have ridden my wheel with the clark system and never had the oscillation or wobbles .. it feels so damn centered and the clark biopads are so good. (To anyone that reads this please try the wheels before you buy b/c I see some of the small people love the c-pro and I am glad I do not trust any review as you may be taller and heavier and have a differnt experience, I was lucky to ride the sherman -s , c,pro and the ex-30 before I bought the ex-30... u dont want to get a wheel that u dont exacly love... I also have a s22 and love that for jumps tech stuff. Cheers and you cant go wrong as its what u like.
Hello Dawn. I would like to ask few questions. It would be great if you could respond to them 1) Just when cruising: How do you qualify the pleasure of riding comparing to the master and the Commander Pro ? 2) When accelerating from 0, can you describe and compare with the master and the Commander Pro the very first part of the acceleration, the phase 2 of the acceleration (after the wheel start moving until perhaps 30 mph) and part 3 the acceleration at high speed (after 30 mph, we are not all a speed daemon like you) ? 3) Can you also compare the braking between these 3 wheels ? 4) With which of these wheels you feel more secure if you are surprised by something and you want to react rapidly ? 5) What about low speed control ? 6) Which of these 3 wheels seems more stable ? 7) What about the low battery management (bips, tilt-back, etc...) 8) The suspension of these wheels are good enough for me but I guess people want you to tell something about that. 9) Which of these wheels (perhaps all) give you a smile when you ride ? You have addressed all of these in many videos. It would be nice if you can make a comparison with these wheels on these aspects and make an update since I guess there a few changes on the Commander Pro for example. New firmware has been published for the EX30, etc... Thank you.
@@DawnSChampion I thought I put my question on the livestream video 🙂 I'm watching again carefully this video and I'll try to answer to my questions....
Kinda bummed to hear your thought on this one, you are a far better rider than me and you're not stoked with it :( Mine arrives tomorrow, shit and was really hoping you'd be in love with it just looking at the specs. One thought on the pads, why don't you sand that foam edge down with some lower grit sandpaper to make it more comfortable? Thumbs up on the video Dawn, always cool to hear your thoughts on these wheels!
Also at like 14:40 that foam sheet for your leg was freaking me out flapping around behind you, was hoping it didn't get sucked into the wheel 😬 that woulda sucked!
Don't sweat it bro. This wheel is a beast! I'm excited to get mine next week! I think Dawn just got a little spooked, and rightfully so, with her high speed wobble; which I'm sure is a solvable firmware issue.
I ride that bike trail all the time. I cross that bridge and ride up to the park that’s more up the path on the left then ride back down to Angel Stadium. Surprised we haven’t ran into each other yet lol
54:54 I totally agree with you about not being able to diy fix Sherman s type suspension or replace it with an different brand aftermarket suspension shock. I'm speculating: I think I would like the V13 with KS22 Pro suspension but not exposed like it is in the KS22 Pro. I think I'd want my shock protected externally but still visible.
The Sherman S ‘can’t replace the suspension’ notion is fanciful, given that it is so good it doesn’t need replacing, but I’d suggest that if it did within warranty time you’d be supplied with replacement strut/s from your dealer. It’s not as if it’s an ExtremeBull or a Begode offering.
@@DawnSChampion Yes, I just realized that lol. Still watching. Surprised the Commander accelerates faster. SO high speed stability the same in both wheels?
I’m surprised you have stability issues with this wheel. Other reviewers have raved about how stable it is at high speeds due to the batteries being placed lower than other wheels giving the wheel a lower center of gravity. I was considering this wheel until I seen your video. Now I’m more unsure of what wheel I want than ever. Great insight on various aspects of this wheel.
@@DawnSChampion Wow! That is fast. I would very rarely hit that speed if ever. In that case, the wobbles could just come from not being very experienced with that particular wheel. You are a brave woman for pushing it that fast especially without much time on it. I’m now reconsidering this wheel. Much props. You rock Dawn🤘
@@DawnSChampion is it possible it is tire/wheel imbalance? Before you discovered eucs there were numerous cases of wheels getting shakes etc which were found to be caused by cracked plastic shells or lose axle nuts causing vibrations that played havoc with the gyro the wheel uses for stabilising. The fact you (and others) have problems (with this particular issue) only at high speed makes me wonder if it is caused by the vibrations of an unbalanced wheel/tire combo.
@@AJames-jr8kw definitely. But Begode also said they made a fix. It’s the “whipping” firmware update you can find in the Begode app. So I’ll be testing that out. The problem is that these wheels are not balanced and I know mine isn’t centered in the wheel either. That’s definitely an inherent problem in the Euc world that has always made me uneasy coming from the motorcycle world. The excuse has always been that we’re not going at speeds where it would be an issue, but maybe we are now approaching those speeds. Another probability is that we just need more time and practice to master this wheel at those speeds.
Excellent video, I received mine yesterday. I need to adjust to the weight as I'm coming from a OG sherman. What's a good psi setting on the suspension?
Thank you!! Depends on your weight and riding style. You want more psi for more weight and big drops. I think mine is somewhere under 250. I basically pumped it up as high as I possibly could, then lost some air unscrewing it.
@@DawnSChampion I wish it were they easy. When I'm riding slow with no helmet I ride with my big over the ear headphones and people still try to talk to me as if I can hear them.
Quickie for ya - what mode are you riding in? If its on hard mode, try medium mode. I think it should/might help to accelerate easier & perhaps quicker, esp on BG wheels PS: 117v should be approx 48% batt & not 37%. Dont trust the app's batt% but instead calculate based on Voltage 😜
I was on Medium mode when I got the 55mph oscillation. So I was trying hard mode now. But I’ll go back to the Medium mode. I agree, it was much easier to accelerate in medium mode. We really need that Firmware Fix!! I feel like I’m riding a neutered wheel right now and I hate that!!! Yea…I know to look at voltage, not percent. I’m just mind lazy. 🤣
Either one is a big upgrade. I went over many reasons for both in this video and will address it more in my Livestream at 10am pst. It’s really just personal preference.
Looks sweet and powerful, but guess imma personally go for the easier to push and riding stability of the comm pro..im guessing this probably attributes to the weight distribution and weight in general...and yes I like the suitcase/square brick design 🤣
Commander pro not water proof also looks like trash on the inside when you take it apart . Has nice specs but the ex30 has way better quality then the commander pro
Im debating between this and the Sherman S as my next wheel (I have the v11 and og Sherman) I ride street but also do a lot of trail riding so the clearance, range and suspension of the Sherman S has me leaning that way but I’m definitely enticed by the EX30
@@DawnSChampion Definitely gives me a little more to think about then. I'll have to look into it. We live in a good time now. So many good wheels and options you can't really go wrong with any of them. Choice is only dependant on personal use case
@@DawnSChampion Denis Hagov (110kg/ 240lbs in winter kit) said Leaperkim/Fastace are coming out with stiffer springs for riders like him (66-67lbs). Should be good for lighter riders on trails.
I know, right?! That was my first thought too when I saw the 3 digit display. Lol. Maybe it can say other things later on like Shermans do. I dunno. Yea…when I watched that interaction, it was even worse than I remembered. I don’t do well when strangers talk to me. 🤣🤣
Go here and ask for Adam G. Pinned messages at the top. I recommended the Trail for performance. Pro use you wanted the absolute smallest. Comfort are large. Tell him I sent you. t.me/+7EjwgKPifPYxOTAx
@@DawnSChampion Hmmm only 90 km then? That's way less than the advertised 300 km range and I'd get even worse distance a 6'5" 230 pound giant. I need this thing to do at least 216 km. Is there a way to make get much better range if you lower the speed or is it better idea to just go max speed and then stop at a Tim Hortons to recharge it?
It's reasons like this and my S22 range test why I was thinking I would backpack my Mten4 anytime I do a range test moving forward lol Got stranded 5mi from my car once...
argh i just want to know the range... you don't mention it in your summary, which makes this video a fail - I can't dig around a 74 minute video to find it.
For easier acceleration on the ex30 do you have the wheel programmed in Rider 2 mode? Supposedly that is the pedal assist mode. Nice video good feedback!
Oh, you’re talking about ride mode. That’s medium pedal softness. I tried both medium and hard. I switched to hard mode after it tried to throw me into a fence at 55 mph.
@@DawnSChampion Gotcha. My ex-30 arrives next Wednesday. I informed e-wheels about this and they would like to understand more because they don't know anything about the high speed, wobble issue yet. I'm sending them your video and any other video that mentions this issue. Maybe you could get ahold of E-wheels as well and give them your feedback. Good luck Dawn and stay safe as always. :)
Great video you got lots of brave skill and talent to ride that wheel your not easy at all. Begode ex30 I hope your riding that to your local junk scrap yard. Company only makes low end high production junk and selling for premium prices misleading the masses. Years of making junk the trick never gets old consumers stay getting sucked in. 😂
2 comments, 1 video. I have not received a lot of hand-holding even from the big dealers. Not once have they offered to let me ship my wheel back for repair. My Sherman Max battery issue took months to get resolved and I did all the repairs myself. I would have liked to send it back and let them deal with it. The point of this rant is for that kind of support, might as well just save the money and use the discounted options. I will not say the dealer's name, but it is one of the big ones that is mentioned often. I don't imagine any of them are quick to tell owners to ship it back. Had I known about the discounted option prior to my last purchase, I probably would have used it.
@@DawnSChampion Ah you nearly made it then. You did well considering you were down to 116V. I guess a bit slower on the return must have helped you a bit 🙂
😂 isn’t that what everyone does? I was riding it at 55 mph within the first 7 miles of owning it, but then I discovered the high speed oscillation issue. So I slowed down. 😁
I think they are both great in both. But it’s harder to do fast/smooth acceleration with the ex30 because it’s sensitive and powerful so you have to be smooth. Braking on the ex30 is very stable and feels great
@@SergeTarkovski I mean, it’s sensitive to your feedback. So if you aren’t rock solid in your application of force when you accelerate, it’s going to accentuate that with all that power and torque behind it. So you see in my video when I accelerate fast, it squiggled to the side. Then I try it again, paying more attention, and it was better. This wheel isn’t going to babysit you like the V13 does. If you apply uneven pressure, you’re going to get that back x10. That’s why this wheel takes more practice and skill to ride well.
"I guess I shouldn't ride 40 mph anymore"... then proceeds to ride 41.6mph and ride the beeps for the next half hour... 🧐 hahaha, loved the ride and the talk. Love the wheel too, but if I buy a fifth wheel my wife will skin me off alive ...
One day Google is going to hunt down everyone who has ever commented 'first' on a UA-cam video and put you all in a human zoo where people can come and throw stale pastries and laugh at you. 😛 What did you think of the video btw? And how did you watch the whole thing in 3 minutes?
There are other factors like speed and weight of the rider also. Sometimes even wind can reduce range significantly. 58 miles for 3600Wh doesn't seem much but taking into consideration the speed you travel it make sense. Also only 99v shut off looks suspicious. If I remember on Commander Pro you went down to 83 V or so. That is a huge difference in range as well.
And no words about Sherman S as if it doesn't exist at all. Sherman S is definitely better than Master, v13, S22 and all that stuff. And for more than hour we didn't hear your attitude towards it. Why didn't you consider it at all when you're talking about new powerful wheels?
Yup, Shawn heard it! I never rode a Sherman S enough to have developed any independent thoughts about it. I know people that love theirs and I see they have had issues with leaking suspension, no cross bar, they only give 1 year warranty on their suspension system, etc. .
@@DawnSChampion i rode mine Sherman S for about 300 miles. It's a huge and top heavy wheel, even after OG Sherman. You'll have to get used to it. But its very powerful, kushy and high pedal wheel. Definitely needs to be considered for discussing in your videos

Why does it have 3 digits when it doesn't go up to 100?
Also the awkward interaction with the car was so you Dawn xD
I know, right?! That was my first thought too when I saw the 3 digit display. Lol. Maybe it can say other things later on like Shermans do. I dunno.
Yea…when I watched that interaction, it was even worse than I remembered. I don’t do well when strangers talk to me. 🤣🤣
@@DawnSChampion yea that nod 54:04 was the typical introverted "ahuh yea.. bye now" xD
You forget most of the world reads in metric. So it is possible to go 3 digits for some, maybe. But def for freespin 😉
you mean the LCD? its because its a standard part. it wasnt custom made for eucs
@Reawer - ❤️❤️. You know it!!
So how many miles you ride until it died
How sad it doesn't have the automatic translation option. I'm from Brazil and I host several channels. congratulations
Good !!!!
Nice video and info 👍
On your 2 Begode Master which batteries are using ?
Thank you!! 50E
Hey Dawn where can you provide me info on how I could purchase those spiked pedals ? Thanks
Go here and ask for Adam G. Pinned messages at the top. I recommended the Trail for performance. Pro use you wanted the absolute smallest. Comfort are large. Tell him I sent you.

HI Dawn, I know this is socially improper but did you weigh your self with gear to know the rider weight in this range test?
I’m 160lbs for my range tests so that you guys have data closer to what you need.
@@DawnSChampion Many thanks… got it! More power and safe riding.
Plenty of warning, It's about time Begode started being a bit safer... So what was the range ?
About 60 fast miles
Impressive
@@DawnSChampion Hmmm only 90 km then? That's way less than the advertised 300 km range and I'd get even worse distance a 6'5" 230 pound giant. I need this thing to do at least 216 km. Is there a way to make get much better range if you lower the speed or is it better idea to just go max speed and then stop at a Tim Hortons to recharge it?
It's reasons like this and my S22 range test why I was thinking I would backpack my Mten4 anytime I do a range test moving forward lol Got stranded 5mi from my car once...
So how many miles did it go. I didn't catch that and the video was too long to re watch
10 miles 71v
High speed wobble, you were near 40 mph and it looked smooth lol.
High speed osculation isn't a problem...it's a feature. 😂
argh i just want to know the range... you don't mention it in your summary, which makes this video a fail - I can't dig around a 74 minute video to find it.
60 fast miles
For easier acceleration on the ex30 do you have the wheel programmed in Rider 2 mode?
Supposedly that is the pedal assist mode.
Nice video good feedback!
Oh, you’re talking about ride mode. That’s medium pedal softness. I tried both medium and hard. I switched to hard mode after it tried to throw me into a fence at 55 mph.
@@DawnSChampion Gotcha. My ex-30 arrives next Wednesday. I informed e-wheels about this and they would like to understand more because they don't know anything about the high speed, wobble issue yet. I'm sending them your video and any other video that mentions this issue. Maybe you could get ahold of E-wheels as well and give them your feedback.
Good luck Dawn and stay safe as always. :)
Begode already knows about it and is working on the Firmware fix. Sho Scott has been working with them on it.
Great video you got lots of brave skill and talent to ride that wheel your not easy at all. Begode ex30 I hope your riding that to your local junk scrap yard. Company only makes low end high production junk and selling for premium prices misleading the masses. Years of making junk the trick never gets old consumers stay getting sucked in. 😂
2 comments, 1 video. I have not received a lot of hand-holding even from the big dealers. Not once have they offered to let me ship my wheel back for repair. My Sherman Max battery issue took months to get resolved and I did all the repairs myself. I would have liked to send it back and let them deal with it. The point of this rant is for that kind of support, might as well just save the money and use the discounted options. I will not say the dealer's name, but it is one of the big ones that is mentioned often. I don't imagine any of them are quick to tell owners to ship it back. Had I known about the discounted option prior to my last purchase, I probably would have used it.
Yea…and with us here to support you, you should be able to get help. I mean we make videos that can help you with repairs and all that.
@@DawnSChampion Marty's vids have helped more than once.
>does range test
>makes 1 hour video
>refuses to say how many miles or kilometers were traversed at the end of it all
Thanks for wasting my time?
I just want a wheel that can go 75mph for 200mi and still have 30% charge.
I just want one that can take me 216 km from Waterloo to Tobermory in one go.
hi dawn thank for this test it s Le bitumier
great video and riding
Thank you!!
Hi, what was your final range? I always figured for my master that around 123v was 50% battery.
58 wheel miles
@@DawnSChampion Ah you nearly made it then. You did well considering you were down to 116V. I guess a bit slower on the return must have helped you a bit 🙂
Commander Pro or EX30 or Sherman S?)
EX30
My last two videos talk about this in depth
"this is my second ride and I am not comfortable with it..." then proceeds to ride @40 mph a few minutes later XD
😂 isn’t that what everyone does?
I was riding it at 55 mph within the first 7 miles of owning it, but then I discovered the high speed oscillation issue. So I slowed down. 😁
Dawn, Denis Hagov said Commander Pro is slow in braking but fast in accelerating, EX30 is fast in both. Can you confirm?
I think they are both great in both. But it’s harder to do fast/smooth acceleration with the ex30 because it’s sensitive and powerful so you have to be smooth. Braking on the ex30 is very stable and feels great
@@DawnSChampion Sounds great! A small question, as I didn't get you in full: if EX30 is so sensitive, why it's hard to accelerate fast?
@@SergeTarkovski I mean, it’s sensitive to your feedback. So if you aren’t rock solid in your application of force when you accelerate, it’s going to accentuate that with all that power and torque behind it. So you see in my video when I accelerate fast, it squiggled to the side. Then I try it again, paying more attention, and it was better. This wheel isn’t going to babysit you like the V13 does. If you apply uneven pressure, you’re going to get that back x10. That’s why this wheel takes more practice and skill to ride well.
@@DawnSChampion Wow, that sounds dangerous and exciting.
Lol. That’s definitely how I’d describe the EX30. But it’ll make us better riders
hello
How many miles you passed in this ride?
58 fast miles. I just completed a 117 mile ride in the mountains this past Sunday with 1 charge and 30% battery remaining
@@DawnSChampion 117 miles? What settings you use or speed you average to get that? This is closer to what I need to do.
So... And what was the mileage?
58 wheel miles
Funny how you think of all your wheels as male ! I consider all mine female but no idea why ! :)
Lol
I consider mine as males and have them named after fictional characters that are strong, loyal, protective, and loving.
@@AJames-jr8kw 🤣 that’s Daemon from House of Dragon!! And if you know that character, the EX30 is very aptly named!! I knew he was a beast!! 🤣
@@DawnSChampion 🤣
How did you get home after he ran out of juice?
I hitchhiked. Guy in a white van took me home
LOL he ran outta juice 💧🍆
@@DawnSChampion Ha, guy in the white van! Did he offer candy?
No, he was very nice. He even picked up the EX30 in and out of the van for me.
@@DawnSChampion I was just kidding about the white van. I sure don't want to pick up the EX30 weight of 100 lbs
"I guess I shouldn't ride 40 mph anymore"... then proceeds to ride 41.6mph and ride the beeps for the next half hour... 🧐 hahaha, loved the ride and the talk. Love the wheel too, but if I buy a fifth wheel my wife will skin me off alive ...
🤣🤣
How many miles total?
I think it was around 60 fast miles
First!
One day Google is going to hunt down everyone who has ever commented 'first' on a UA-cam video and put you all in a human zoo where people can come and throw stale pastries and laugh at you.
😛
What did you think of the video btw? And how did you watch the whole thing in 3 minutes?
@@Simonisms First!
What was the final Mileage ? I didn’t have the patience to watch the whole thing 😅
58 miles fast miles. Easily does 90 mile mountain rides with some charging
favorite part 01:04 - 01:05
So what the total mileage was during this test?
58 miles
@@DawnSChampion 3600Wh /58 miles =62Ah per mile. Similar to my Commander then
Yea, it seems all about the same between the Sherman S, CP and EX30
There are other factors like speed and weight of the rider also. Sometimes even wind can reduce range significantly. 58 miles for 3600Wh doesn't seem much but taking into consideration the speed you travel it make sense. Also only 99v shut off looks suspicious. If I remember on Commander Pro you went down to 83 V or so. That is a huge difference in range as well.
@@ThePawel36 when I did 83v. I got 70 miles
The safety is annoying you! Wtf! THATS SAFETY!😮😢
Edit never mind found the answer in the comments
You talk about wheels like you're dating them.
Even better than dating! Less drama. Well, until Daemon, the EX30. This ride was on the dramatic side. 🤣
And no words about Sherman S as if it doesn't exist at all. Sherman S is definitely better than Master, v13, S22 and all that stuff. And for more than hour we didn't hear your attitude towards it. Why didn't you consider it at all when you're talking about new powerful wheels?
She mentioned the Sherman S at the beginning and said she didn’t have enough experience with it to comment on it
Yup, Shawn heard it!
I never rode a Sherman S enough to have developed any independent thoughts about it. I know people that love theirs and I see they have had issues with leaking suspension, no cross bar, they only give 1 year warranty on their suspension system, etc. .
probably because sherman S is also the most expensive of all
@@DawnSChampion i rode mine Sherman S for about 300 miles. It's a huge and top heavy wheel, even after OG Sherman. You'll have to get used to it. But its very powerful, kushy and high pedal wheel. Definitely needs to be considered for discussing in your videos
@@Blox117 money is not a problem for Dawn as you may guess. Look at her wheel collection and cry)
