Reasons to AVOID Buying the SHERMAN-L Electric Unicycle!!!

- This video is my opinion to provide reasons to consider before buying the new Sherman-L electric unicycle. Many of these reasons will highlight price, weight, and overall reasons to avoid getting first batch model. Im sure many EUC enthusiasts are hyped and are wanting this wheel, but please consider these reasons before pressing that pre-order button.

You sound like a hater. You have no valid reasons. Just complaints and assumptions.
And we are the trolls? Rrrrerright. . . . You're just mad you just bought a lynx's. 😂 Now you have no more moneys. 😂
Now is your time to shine on the pinned comment. Did you take offense ? Did i upset you with the trolling mention? OK so normally someone would say why my points were not valid. Maybe that will add to discussion. Looking forward to hear more and it's kind of funny you say I just have complaints and assumptions. It sounds like you have the same.
I've been so happy and satisfied with my Ex30 for over a year now, none of these new wheels have come close to making me want to "upgrade" still having all the fun I can imagine
Always wanted to try that one. I tried the other version , ex20 and that was a fun machine to play with .
If you arent in search of better suspension, this wheel doesnt have much to offer for a upgrade
Exactly. My Ex30 is more than fast enough for me. The suspension is good. Range is great. No reason to upgrade.
Good points. I already have the Sherm-S for range, and the Lynx for speed. I don't feel the need to spend $4800 on something I don't really need.
i havent seen you make many videos on the Lynx, or maybe i missed it but how are you liking it so far?
@WILSONsHobbies : True, I haven't been posting vids lately. It's been super hot the last few weeks here, plus I'm still recovering from the 'Rona. The Lynx is fine, though I tend to burn through volts rather quickly.
Side note, I sold my Sherman S and sold my Patton and will be purchasing the L. Patton was to easy to bottom out even the newest 70lb progressive version, my SS was nice but to have more power, more safety and more range is all a win. You may be able to pick it up for $4k as well which puts it right at the price of the Lynx. We did a 65mi cruise 2 weekends back and having the extra overhead is a win. Also nice to take out 1 wheel for a weekend that can do 100mi at 25mph and not have to worry about where I can stop to plug in for an hour or 2.
I can understand why you would do that. All your points are the other side of the conversation, which i appreciate and i agree with them. it all boils down to user preference . Why would the rider want to get it, and for you its for those reasons. I seen your videos, and they are great and well respected opinions, think that would be a good video for you to talk about Reasons TO BUY the Sherman-L :p Thanks for droppin in !
@@WILSONsHobbies Not sure ill do any more videos on my channel but I definitely have experience with all 3 current wheels and will have experience on the 4th lol I also owned an OG sherm so the knowledge and experience on LK products is VAST!
Found!
Excellent viewpoints Wilson. The price of the Sherman -L is ridiculous. The Lynx or Sherman S is more than good enough for me. I already have a wheel that weighs 104 lbs so my next wheel must weigh less than 100 lbs. Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I agree as well Sensei.
@@SlowJoe76 The price of wheels is nuts!! Once you get the Sherman -L setup with Pads, pedals and a seat. The price will be almost $5000 USD
@@senseivegan and to be fair, the Lynx with all my accesories, pretty much made it a 5000 wheel, so actually i was wrong, the sherman l could turn into a 5500 wheel if you want to go all out hype on the newest accessories that seems to pair well with the units :)
Are all those reasons, actually reasons to get the sherman L?
Cost: veteran is giving 50% more capacity at essentially the cost of the cells. The sherman L will be close to $1 per wh. How does the lynx or patton look? And those accessories; light, pedals, pads - aren't they also costs if you had bought a patton or lynx? Actually, pads and pedals should be reusable from the lynx.. certainly the fast charger will be, which implies savings
Range: likely that most on the lynx go on most rides w/o a charger, so agreed that the range isn't critical. However the addl batteries will eliminate range anxiety, provide more usable mid/high speed range, and help with stability at high speed. It'll also let you hooligan like a maniac, and help offset long term cell degradation.
Weight: the ~15 lb difference to the lynx becomes less of the overall % when adding the weight of pads, seat, and bumpers. It remains to be seen how the addl weight will hinder low speed maneuvering or offroading, but you are getting the capacity at $ and weight cost.
Agreed that those with a sherman S or newer don't need to upgrade, and slightly disappointed that the battery box's weren't dropped any lower (top heaviness), but the specs, improved build, maintainability like the lynx, and hopefully improved torque/acceleration assist, should all make this a landmark wheel that will retain its value in the coming years, and make it a dream wheel for those on non-suspension wheels that might remember the reputation of the og sherman.
Thank you for your comment, I probably didnt make it clear in the video narrative that the opinions are just considerations a rider can think about before pressing that preorder buttong right away for this wheel. Having dialogue of this is great as we have conversations all over hyping the machine but rarely, ones that make you think "hey, lets think about this here for a minute before i press that pre order button " lol
Wilson, I’m with you on this one, the price can easily increase to five thousand. I am still riding an older model wheel and thinking about getting an upgraded model with range. The Sherman S should be getting an upgrade which was always my first choice. I’ve waited this long and it doesn’t hurt to wait a little longer. We will see what the review for the Sherman L will reveal especially for the first batch.
I think the L is that upgrade you are speaking of, i dont think they will do anything further with the S system. I could be wrong. But yes , if you have not had a range wheel before, than ytes i would suggest this wheel if price is no concern, but wait for it come out for a bit on the market. Last thing you need is a batch 1 with reported issues, when you can go ahead with a batch 3-4 that had those reported issues resolved (depending on the severity of issues), if only those things matter at the end of the day to you.
I have a Lynx and Ex30 so I think I'm gonna sit tight and let the richies and addicts buy these 4 new wheels coming out and then maybe in 2025 I can replace the ex30 with one of them.
Thank you and your comment is a great addition to the conversation. I am one of the addicts,(patton, sherman s, lynx) but enough is enough now. I will be waiting right here with you to see what everyone thinks hahahah
You recommend not to buy, but I'm looking to replace my OG Sherman, that I use for commuting, with something that has suspension. What reasons would you have not to purchase the L to replace my OG?
Just that the L is expensive, heavier that your OG sherman, taller, chunkier, but other than that, you should be pleased by it
You didn't convince me, as I was already not getting it 😂.
Cheers
aaaahahahha ok well , thank you for dropping in and engaging in the convo lol
Looking at Lynx and Sherman L I will say Lynx overpriced 😂 based on the price 😂
oooo yea, you wanna start a war now bro? HAHAH jk man, the Lynx is expensive too, and well, i fell for that one hahaaaa
@@WILSONsHobbies i like Lynx just not the price 💯 especially now I can just get the L and do it all on it not as light but the small drop I always wanted to do on my CPro now I can
Happy with the sherman s don't need an upgrade Content with a 100 V.
I own 16x, Falcon, Sherman S and a Lynx, and still pre ordered the L.
Your points are valid especially if you are already riding a Sherman-S or Lynx. I am not. I want range. The other long range wheels are exceeding 120lbs, the L will give me the range I need for a much lighter weight. It is top of my list at the moment. I have a Begode Extreme for off-road and short range rides.
See this is great , and thank you for adding to the conversation. There is something for everyone.
@@spikebbc If this would’ve been out when the Lynx was, I would’ve spent the extra $200 to get this 💯percent!
I'm sticking with my Sherman S until the battery dies.
Such a great wheel! Contact me on Telegram sometime, maybe we can meet up if you would like, and are not too far. Sherman S is great and ive been taking it for more rides. The stock charger for it charges the wheel verrrrrry slow. The lynx and patton charger charges wheels almost half as fast
Same bro 😂🍻
@slydogstroh those videos were the best ! A lot of style still not seen to this day
Another thing, after the Patton, Sherman S and the Lynx, it’s highly unlikely there will be major first batch issues with the L, kinda think they may have this particular wheel format figured out.
There shouldn’t be many problems with batch 1.
I think it’s just a Lynx with bigger batteries.
It should NEVER be an issue with any batch 1 or otherwise if these companies thoroughly TESTED their wheels before releasing them.
All the problems should be worked out BEFORE they hit the market.
We should be paying $4000+ to be crash test dummies for these companies
@@truthiscensored 💯
for this being their most expensive offering, it better not. knock on wood
I understand first batch. There are a lot of same parts as the Lynx. Which as a Lynx owner I appreciate. I see it as more aftermarket items available from the start and more to come since there will be multiple wheels that an accessory can fit. For example pedals, headlight, lowered hangers
That something i did not consider or think about. I like how the suspension parts (aside from the Patton) are for the most part the same so you can swap em around if you want to. Thanks for the comment and adding to the topic!
With all the wheels being released they've got to have something new so carrying on the Sherman name is the obvious choice... could of been called the Sherman S pro or max. Eucs have got so powerful in recent models and become a voltage/wattage speed flex between manufacturers...it will probably sell but they've already outdone themselves with the Lynx.
Like you say tho unless you need that bit of extra range its pretty irrelevant.
Probably be a good wheel but quickly forgotten
Yes this is their flagship wheel, so its gotta be good. Its a culmination of all they put in the other before, and range is the obvious difference compared to lynx. YES unfortunately, the voltage wattage war is a marketing tool because euc riders are quickly drawn to this
Paying 4K or even 4,500 should include power pads
When i bought my Lynx, it came with in the price, a seat and the power pads. Which was a great deal. Im surprised they do not do it with the Sherman L at ewheels, but i guess you get somewhat of a discount if you add the accessories to their cart.
Leaperkim needs help with marketing. That help is provided by all the content creators and shops (that also sponsor content creators).
There's good money in accessoires like pads and seats. So if leaperkim leaves it out then the shops will be more eager to sell the wheels so they can also profit on extras.
I am getting it I have not got new veteran since OG Sherman 😂
Same 🚣
Same here still riding my OG.
@@coquirobinson3025 let’s go still not sure first or second batch but I might go first
Same here, my og doesn't turn off unless I unplug the battery. Lol
Getting my L mid August
OG is great , if i wasnt so tempted to buy an euc, id stick with the OG :p
It isn’t the range that’s gonna convince people but the fact that wobbles on the Lynx is a real issue for a lot of people and this wheel seems to not have that issue at all but yes, the price is *insane*
As Flossy Carter would say flagship specs bruh! Pay to play. Take the L! 😼✌️
flagship , maybe, can only wait and see on video or tested in person :p
I do not need the speed, but I really want the range and the safety is also a bonus. I'm still gonna wait about 6-8 months before buying tho as with all wheels it will get released with problems, or maybe something better may come out you never know.
Great video and agree happy with my Sherman S more than enough wheel for me
Thank you for coming in, but who knows, you may change your mind in the future? lol
@@WILSONsHobbies it’s been known to happen lol
Why would you lift the wheel up the stairs?... You push it up thr stairs.
They need to make a wheel to compete with the falcon along the same price
so something smaller than the patton, and less expensive than it. hmmmm that would be interesting.
Sherman L is the perfect wheel for doing food delivery.
Good video, thank you. Always interesting.
Do experienced skillful riders (Disclaimer: I am not yet one) not get foot pain on long rides? The projected Sherman L range of 80 to 100 miles seems to me to be a heck of a long distance and time to be continuously standing up in one position, pushing against the wind.
Seated riding helps a lot, effectively doubles your range. I have a commander pro 50s, it is a lot stable to ride than my lynx, but no problem seeating on both of them. I seat during boring parts of the ride such a long straight roads (it's during those parts that my foot gets fatigque because im just not moving much) or roads that I already know.
Thank you harold for checking this out! To answer your question, ive been doing longer rides lately, (as seen in my recent videos) and my feet did hurt and cramp up. The next day, the calves will be tight. Yes it is a long ride, but you can stop here and there if you wanted to to ease up your foot pain. I also hear sitting is great at helping with that. I dont sit much on my rides on main roads though, just on side roads for now, so i cant answer that fully .
@@WILSONsHobbies
Thank you for responding, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hughdelanol both. You all help me learn.
It would be nice if there was an option to get it with a 3200wh battery.
Great topic and great video 🫡🤟⚡️ decisions decisions
dont fall asleep vibes, and duf told me you were sleeping, but i was disapointed because i didnt see you actually sleeping bro, so that was a let down and i think you need to make it right and snore on your next stream, drooling from your mouth and your head drooping the back of your chair . haha just messing, and thank you for coming, i already know you bought the wheel or thinking of it. dont lie now, dont lie to uncle wilson meow
Everytime i look at one these i just keep going back to the Inmotion V14 Adventure 50S....
I would love the get a Sherman S but I want to spend $3,000 Max so maybe a Commander Pro in my future. I’m still holding out to see what happens. Cheers
I cant believe you trust locking up your Lynx with a toothpick... i think I can chew through that cable
haha i like to see that. actually no, save your teeth, trust me. lol yea i do need to upgrade that for sure. Only used this cable a couple times when im away from it for 3-5 minutes. I dont dare leave the EUC alone more than that with that cable on. Do you have a suggestion for a lock n chain
@@WILSONsHobbies something like a Krptonite lock but I NEVER lock mine up or leave it anywhere. If it can't come in with me I am not going in simple. I have now in my 3+ years of riding only had 2 places that wouldn't let me in with my wheel and I walked away from that business... the one I asked the lady if she is liable for my $4k walking off while I'm in the store and its sitting in the doorway and she grungingly said "NO" and I said cool I won't be shopping here and left. I have gone in fine dining restaurants with my wheel and full gear, taprooms, grocery stores, gift shops, etc and never get bothered. Not worth the risk to me to leave it.
Kryptonite 💯
On the Lynx you have about 5 miles of high-speed riding before you lose 4 mph off the top speed
Too heavy, unnecessary range and definitely too expensive. Pass.
Thank you for telling us your thoughts on this. :)
Hopefully with the L coming out, the lynx might come down a bit in price. I'll bite then.
Most likely not but you never know 😅
They need someone like you to inform them what the American Market needs. It's not always "the latest and greatest, just something that Makes Sense.
I would not say i am the best candidate to do that fully, but from a casual user point of view, i can say the price tag is pretty steep for me. If they lowered the weight ,a nd put all these specs in the lynx form factor, essentially upgrade the lynx by not making it heavier, and keeping it at the same price, then yes, i would def consider upgrading lol
@@WILSONsHobbies Very good point sir. Agree. I still love my Tesla T3. 48 LBS 1500WH, Extreemly Portable, Nimble, lights BT Speakers. $1600 the only thing is missing its suspention. I believe the Falcon is its replacement weighting a few pounds more. Both Same top Speed. The T3 has remained the same price for a very long time. My other wheel is a V12HS (only $100 more), than the T3 that I paid $2300 in its debut. The T3 has been the pound for pound underrated Champ for many many years.
you can just drive up the stairs, or drive up the grass
Man... I buy what I want and I WANT A SHERMOSO ÉLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@WILSONsHobbies thanks so much Wilson. I been trying to figure this out for 3 days because those glasses look bad-ass on you
No need to rant bro! Sherman L has more to offer. Period.
Is the lynx faster?
no. Why asking? isnt obvious?
