Thanks for making this video. A rain/water test isn't complete until you evaluate it it weeks or months later since corrosion may take a while to be noticed. That's that factor that manufacturers skip over when they demonstrate a wheel riding in deep water. Inmotion is using a video of Wrong Way riding a V11 through water in their Facebook ads. As I recall, the wheel bearings went bad a few days later. Marty, please let us know if you later notice any water damage in this S16.
Always appreciate your efforts "in the name of science". Yes, going out when others don't want to is good because nobody else wants to venture out. In the summer, this is the case every time it hits 100.
14:00 Good update 👍 Shouldn't be too hard to sharpen the pedal spikes. I know you shouldn't have to but saves one from having to get new pedals. Maybe that's why you feel in love with EUCs, No traffic! Cheers
This model has a serious problem - backlashes. In this case, the shock absorber mounts will bend due to backlash. We bought three of these wheels and everyone has this problem. Also, the bolts rest against the part, not the bearing. The locknuts also rest against the part.
I took my V12HT out for a rain ride yesterday in L.A., and fried it. 😔 --- Speaking of helmets, I swapped to a motorcycle modular for my second rain trip that day, muuch better in the rain.
@@SaiyanEuc I tried charging it 3.5 hours after I was out in the rain, ports seemed dry, but I guess it was too soon. Pics are online in a couple places, but UA-cam keeps flagging my comment indicating where, so I guess I can't say.
Begode Extreme is a BEAST! I was ‘Wrong Way’ on my First initial impression. As it took some time to get use to it. Once I did, Oh Man! The C-40 Motor is unmatched when it comes to Power and Performance! 0-40 mph is a THRILL! 💪🏽😈
I'm really appreciative that Marty is testing this KS S16, as this might be my next wheel to buy. Hopefully, we'll see the inside of the unit after the rain test is done
if the battery packs are built the same way as the s22, then the cells are not wrapped, And water might find away in the packs. open them up and check if the stickers have turned red.
Merci pour le test video bon travaille, c'est une roue que je souhaite acquérir pour les transports dans paris taille poids c'est l'idéale pour moi , comme précédemment citer il serait intéressant de voir quelque semaines plustard et voir l'état de la roue quitte a l'ouvrir un petit peu ca m'aiderait a me convaincre car ici a paris il pleut la moitié de l'année 😂.
I have a deposit on the s16pro but am having a hard time NOT switching the funds to the Commander Mini (50s), I see this and still have a slight fascination with the S16, sort of because the lights/speakers and overall appearance but the performance of the Commander is hard to pass up for "only" $800 more...
Those are two extremely different wheels. The Mini is amazing in comparison to the S16. The S16 is better suited for much slower riding and shorter distances.
I've ridden the Commander Mini for a few days, and being a short human, it felt like I was straddling a 90lb hard side luggage. I have nearly 4000 miles on my 18XL so I'm moving to the S16. The hybrid tire tread looks appealing, I'm not a fan of knobby road noise, but need the grip on occasional terrain changes.
@@bondo31 Lol, I understand, I'm not terribly tall myself, I stuck with the Mini and actually just ordered it, I still have a soft spot for the s16 however, knowing me, I'll end up with one. Oh, I agree on the tire, choice.

Agreed. I may not have the S16 long enough to notice a problem (if there is a problem) but certainly I would discuss it in a video if it happens.
A great wheel for its targeted use case and reasonably priced as well. It deserves more coverage.
I’m curious how the suspension sliders/bearings will hold up after the rain ride? Maybe you can give us an update in a couple weeks.

Rained here too, and we get less down here than your area does.
Where is this place? it looks awesome.
San Gabriel River, Southern California
My 16X , almost 3 year use , has been coping well in heavy rain and many puddles along the paths I use. I am surprised it still function .
14:00 Good update 👍

Thanks for the tip. I'd still probably want to buy better pedals.

Thanks Marty!!🙏
A typical summers day in the UK 🙂would like to see a similar test on the Inmotion V14 to validate its IP rating
qtas libras posso usar no meu S16 pra ficar masi facil de andar q nao va comprometer o monociclo tenho 80kg?

I have better helmets but didn't feel like getting them wet. What happened to the V12? That's very surprising.
Yeah what happened? Ive had mine in a good bit of rain and everything was fine, one of the reasons i bought my ht when it first came out 😅
I don't believe you. I think you're trolling.

been riding my HS many, many times in downpour i'm so sorry for you.
I mean thats a big reason ppl go for v12 cus of the waterproof rating
Hi i have a question again😅 my S22 pro does pedal dip when climbing hills. How can i solve this issue?

Lnyx eats that wheel up buddy 😂
The Scarlet Avenger strikes again !!! :)
пожалуйста скажите какое давление должно быть в шине?
28 psi works good for me
We have such weather in Russia in autumn, hi friends!
Did you cover the USB ports? I'm thinking about putting electrical tape over the ports.
No

Old wheel. I'm pretty sure they are now shrink wrapping the batteries

I'm not sure if I'll open the wheel but we'll see.
Hello tu continue de tester la roue ? A tu eu des problème avec logiciel comme la s19? Après la sortie sous la pluie il y a eu des problèmes?

I have a deposit on a S16 Pro too. Hopefully it ships from ewheels the end of this month. I’m stoked…..Good luck.

Hope you don't catch a cold Mr mountains
Would you say this is a better wheel for beginners than a v11?
Hard to say but it's certainly smaller and more nimble.
I have a vague memory of watching Roger Hajali riding bare chested in the rain in some golf club 🤔.
Takes me an hour each way to work, on my EUC!
You look like superman! :)
Now go check If water has not infiltrated the batteries etc
I promote your content, like it))
Don't caught in a flash flood warning while inside the riverbed...that'll suck😂
Credit to you cause I won’t ride in the rain 😂
Dont catch cold
У нас в России осенью такая погода,привет друзья!
