- This video is a comprehensive review of the Veteran Sherman S. It delves into some of the manufacturer's stated specs as well as some of the pros and cons of the wheel.
The Veteran Sherman S used in this video is a FreeMotionShop purchase. Anyone interested on purchasing a Veteran Sherman S or any EUC can visit their website at: freemotionshop.com.
I've put almost 200 miles on my Sherman S and it's easily the best EUC I've ever ridden. This one's a long term keeper.
Yes, I can see it being a keeper for sure. Hands down, it is one of the best suspension wheels.
I am very impressed not because the narrator is my sister but because she has brilliantly showcase this new machine in such detail one becomes mesmerized and entrenched in her verbal gymnastics about this machine. I am awestruck right now, never had a clue that my big little sister is a literary and basically a ✍️ & editor. Sis you are genius keep up the good work, have to give you your flowers while you are here. Kudos well deserved, because you are the shit !
Thank you Lil Bra for your kind and uplifting words. I truly appreciate it and you. 🥰
Be proud mate sis rulez.....
I hope the manufactures, of the wheels you review, listen to your remarks and take them to heart. Every time my wife knows that I am drooling over a new wheel and asks how many wheels does one man need, my remark is, "So says the woman with eight sewing machines!" We all have our addictions. Thanks for another great review.
Lol., to your response to your wife. I've had 15 wheels at one point. I'm now down to 12 and trying to streamline even further. As far as the manufacturers paying me some mind., that remains to be seen, but we can only hope. As always, thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you.
Great job Sis! I agree with almost everything except the love you gave the pedals. I don't feel like the spikes are high enough to actually grip my shoes as well as other pedals. I feel like they have the look but the ridges on the pedals are as tall or taller than the spikes so they don't grip my shoes as much as they look like they should. All and all though one hell of a great ride.
It would seems that folks that don't agree with my assessment of the pegs don't ride down stairs nor jump off elevated surfaces. I do believe I stated they are grippy because the keep your feet planted while jumping off curbs, tables, stairs., etc. Hands down, I LOVE them better than the V13. 🤨. Those pegs such truly to me. But that's my opinion.
Maybe it just depends on what kind of footwear you're using; flat-soled Vans and the short might have issues gripping the spikes while mountain boots or running shoes should have no problem
Vee, I just watched your review of the Sherman S electric unicycle and I have to say, you did a fantastic job. Your video was clear and easy to understand, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Thanks for the support for Freemotion Shop
As always, I appreciate the love and support you've shown to me these couple years.
Thank you, Vee. I was a batch 1 Ewheels "S" recipient and I love it so far! :😃
Thank you for your feedback and support. I greatly appreciate it and congrats to you on your Sherm S.
I am completely new to your channel and am blown away by the video quality and content. Keep the videos coming! ❤
Aaayyyeeee., thank you for the love and support. I truly appreciate it and you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I always look forward to your reviews. It just so happens that this is my next wheel that I wish to purchase (long time coming) and this video hasn't dissuaded me from it's purchase.
Awesome!! I'm glad you found the review useful/helpful.
Such a good review!
Great job and I am going to be a new subscriber
Aayyeee, thank you for the love and support.I greatly appreciate it and you.
Props to whoever is flying the drone, that's some difficult flying!
Lol., that would be me. I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.
@@VeeEUC Great obstacle avoidance!
@@banzaibob6569 Thank you. I
It was tough going there., what with being tackled by an invisible entity and all. Lol
got so excited to get mine, I put the stock pads on upside down 👈🏻🤣
😅, I feel your energy.
Great review, as always, Vee. Thanks!
Aaayyeeee., my name sake! Thank you immensely for your love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you.
@@VeeEUC It's actually my initials, RV. I'm clandestine online because nobody else on the planet has my name 🙂
@@arevee9429 Well, even so. The way you have it spelled out.., I'm claiming it. Lol
Excellent and detailed review as always!! Top tier content. I’m very interested in this wheel as a daily driver.
Thank you for your love and support.I greatly appreciate it and you.
You should look into investing in a full-face helmet used for mountain bike and motorcross riding, they offer so much more protection to your neck and jaw/chin. Crashing at these speeds could have absolutely devastating consequences (as I’m sure you know) but that risk goes up exponentially without proper head protection… Stay safe out there.
Thank you for the love and support. You are correct; however, I have so many helmets to include full face motocross ones., it's just that I've not found one that's not to restrictive.
Great flying skills Vee. I received my Sherman S this past Monday as well as my spiked pedals from Afeez at e-rides. The pedals that came with the Sherman S were ok, but I’ll put the new pedals on and see how they are. So far the ride has been a lot smoother. However, for now, I’m still fiddling around with the suspension dials. I wish Leaperkim would give a complete comprehensive break down of the advanced mode functions on the display screen or in the book. Ride safe 🙏.
Congrats on your purchase. I would agree with you the wish of the manufacturers having a more comprehensive manual outlining everything we need to know on how to operate these wheels. It would make the experience alot more easier and definately more enjoyable.
I decided to get the E-Rides Pedals for my Sherman S as well. I decided to wait and get a second batch wheel, but the pedals and Grizzla Flow pads are already on the way. Hope to be on the road in March
@@cdn_badger Awesome!
Always appreciate your take on wheels vee. Stay safe out there!
Thank you for the love and support. I appreciate you.
Now with the EX30 and V13, Commander Pro out, there's no reason to buy the Shermam S.
I only feel sorry for those who couldn't wait for something better.
🤣🤣, with Begode., there's never a wait game. They push out wheels with break neck speed that you just have to pull the trigger on whichever one appeals to your fancy. I like the EX line and have had them all. I plan on getting the EX30.
@@VeeEUC i mean everyone know the ex30 and Commander Pro will come out after the Sherman S. These people who bought the Sherman should have just waited for them.
@@VeeEUC the main issue with thr Sherman S is that even when it come out it was already underpowered.
It isn't even in the top 6 wheels when it comes to power.
Commander Pro, Ex30,. Master, Master Pro, S22, master X, Inmotion V13 are all already stronger then it.
@@BigBoss-gb4cx i truly get what you are saying, but the fact remain., the SS has a place in these EUC streets. Just because there's more powerful wheels out there than the SS doesn't mean it's not the apple of someone's eyes. Not everyone's into more powerful heavier wheels.
I try and keep an open mind about these wheels when I do reviews. To me, they all have their strong and weak suites. It boils down to preference and not so much which appears to be more of THIS over THAT. Just saying.
Way to go. Another great calm fun easy to watch video. Keep going. My Sherman arrives in the spring.
Thank you for the love and support. I truly appreciate it and you. Congrats on the purchase of your Sherman S. 🤗
Loved it, Vee. But them pedals are trash sis. I had to put griptape on mine
🤣🤣, I understand some folks share your sentiment. But I found them to be just fine for me and my riding style.
That was a great video! Really informative. This product is now on my radar; I hadn't considered an EUC up to now.
Thank you for the love and support.I greatly appreciate it and you. I'm glad I was able to help you on considering an EUC. (Welcome to the family., even if only in thought.)
Damn east coast winter winds. I hate it when that happens. Great review!
Scared the..., you know what out of me. It was pushing me straight for the curb and toward parked cars. My left knee wasn't right for a couple of days afterwards. It felt like I was hit on my right side by an invisible defensive tackle. Although it was a matter of seconds, it felt a lot longer because my brain was processing all kinds of scenarios that played out in front of my minds eye. Lol
@@VeeEUC :) you handled it like a champ with that beast of a machine. It's a terrifying feeling.
Awesome 😎 thanks Vee!!🙏 I’ve already received my e-RIDES pedals and pads for the Sherman s. I just have to pull the trigger and order the wheel. Gonna go 2nd batch I think. Blessed be in 23!!
Thank you for the love and support. I greatly appreciate it and you. And congrats to you whenever you get the Sherman S.
Wow great video! I’m getting ready to order my first and I think I found it.
Thank you for the love and support. I appreciate it and you.
⚡🤙🏼 *Great review,* as always 🤙🏼⚡
And as always, thank you for the love and support.I truly appreciate it and you. :)
I get that sherman s has great suspension, but it lacks so many other components to justify its price tag. You mentioned that the pedals are great. I say it is better than pedals with grip tapes for sure, but they could've done a better job. Same for trolley handle, seat, pads, and kickstands. You basically need to upgrade all the accessories. Also, no smart bms, no waterproof rating.... ...why would I pay premium for this? This would make more sense if they slashed the price tag in half.
TRUE! I can't argue your points because you are spot on.
Not sure about lifespan of this very expensive EUC. Shermax is the safe choice for now :)
Great review Vee, if you had to choose between the Sherman S, V13 and master pro for your daily drive and you could only have one, which would you choose (best all-rounder).
I'm still reviewing the V13; however, right now it would be between SS and V13.
I see you are using Skydio 2 in follow me mode, but be aware. Flying it around leafless tress may end up crashing it. I'm using it myself but always trying to avoid hanging power cables and small branches hanging from the trees. This is most common reason for this drone to crash. It can't see thin lines or branches.
Yeahhhhh., it so happened to me the very 1st time I used it. I posted a video on the crash. Lucky for me the drone overshot me and went kamikaze into some trees. Skydio wound up replacing the drone as a result of it. I found,, if you slow down enough,, the drone will figure out to go around. It's when you're riding fast and It's trying to keep up, it won't process the thin branches quick enough can will crash into it.🤣
But thank you for the heads up.
@@EUCvibes My crashed once because seagull attacked it from above. Fortunately It cost me only 200usd for repair. There are so many dangers awaiting us, skydio pilots!
What up Vee! Good review.
Heyyyy, heyyy, heyyyyyyy!!! Taking it easy. Trying to stay sane. Lol
Thank you for the love and support.I greatly appreciate it and you.
Acually these new voltage numbers will NOT make the lifecycle of the battery shorter! Absolutely not. Going down to 72 Volt is at about 3 Volt per battery. This is nothing serious. The working envelope of the battery is even down to 2,5 Volts….and when a range of 3600wh is announced the battery producer with this number even MEANS going down to 2,5 Volts. So going down from 3,3/3,4 Volts per cell, down to 3 Volts is absolutely in the normal working range and for example KingSong has been doing this with nearly all their newer wheels.
Only reporting what Begode advised.
Is this true? Sounds like good news if it is.
I get the complaints on the weather but try again when's its white, packed with snow & ice just underneath. Subzero is the least of it. Them's the conditions some of us, Canuckistanis not just endure but thrive in by going out & ride. Better than identifying as a bear & hibernate 😁. On the serious, the SS looks like a nice wheel but thats all it is. Nice. In that vein, I wont be a SS rider but instead will stake my claims on the BG ex30 - all the torque all the brakes all the power all the time! Or I'm hoping at least. Will be awaiting your review on it
The EX30 is the wheel I have my sights on as well. Hopefully I can get my paws on it for a review.
Awesome Vee! I noticed at Freemotion you can buy it now . I wish i had the money! lol
I'm glad you enjoyed it and yeah., with each new wheel comes a new higher price tag. SMH
Awesome review...What drone did you use for this video???
Some of your info isn't current or correct, but as always, I appreciate your insight. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback and response. I greatly appreciate it.. Typically the info i provide is what was given to me by a rep from the manufacturer.
hoping for more Sherman S review deary
Very good and informative as always
Love your videos 👍 , beautiful riding views totally different from my videos 😁 i have to ride with my head on swivel 😁
You scared me for a second freaking wind gust wow , good safe 👍
🤣🤣, that wind scared the buh-jesus out of me. It felt like and invisible strong arm attach. Like to poop myself. (TMR) All I saw was a curb and parked cars. 🤣🤣
I can laugh now, but it wasn't so funny then. Lol
@@VeeEUC careful sis how you use Jesus Holy name❤
@@busybody1474 Thank you for the reminder; however, it was not used in vain, That much is for certain.
I am waiting for a 3600wh battery packed wheel, however not the ss. I would love to see your opinion on this matter of climbing numbers on the voltage department. The majority of the people who tried the Master loved the power of it. However there are a few things that some people still defend themselves by saying that they believe that the ss will have more range than any other same battery packed wheel, precisely because of the 100v system. Others say that those modes the wheel has (not talking about saving battery 😂) will provide you with the best performance ever.
I would love to see you going further than simply trying the wheel. Telling some truth about range AND performance would be a good thing to see. I mean, saying how you felt about the way the wheel acceleration was or its braking abilities...and that in your opinion those persons should stop trying to dream about getting better numbers than the nowadays wheels. What I mean by nowadays is that the power went off, from 100v. Leaperkim has to understand that...
Thank you for your feedback and response. I greatly appreciate it. As far as the range and power, since I'm on the east coast and dealing with some trashy weather, I really couldn't get an accurate range nor would I try. Just in the days I was riding, I froze.my arse off on top of having to contend with winds that were so unpredictable that it became not wise to push it the limits I normally do in my reviews. One thing of note though, the weather conditions were not in the SS favor as far as battery consumption. It sucked.
Were you using the drone follow feature? I've never used it before and am curious about your experience with it.
Yes, I use the follow me feature 100% of the time. I've had some mishaps because of my carelessness, but I enjoy it. I use to use the beacon and phone combo for tracking because it's supposed to be more reliable, but I find that using my phone without the beacon, appears to be better. But then again, I haven't had the misfortune of losing satellite signal to my phone.
Does Sherman S have Bluetooth to connect to EUC app?
So you like the stock pedals? I hear a lot of negative opinions on them. Interesting.
Yup. Slippery AF when wet
I like 'em. But then again, I'm cut from a different cloth. 😅
I'm going to take a guess here that it depends on the shoes. I wore Merrell hiking boots when I rode the S and I felt just as glued as normal. I'm curious, what shoes did you hear with the S and how did they grip in wet/dry?
@@GingerOnWheels I'm not sure if the question you posed was meant for me, but I wore Timberland version 18126 2921.
Can you throw your quick links in the description and also your discount code for all the add on too. Thanks so much
I will definately do that. It's been a minute since I've posted discount codes, I have to go back to the distributors and obtain them again. I figured since I'm a small timer UA-camr., who'd give a care when there's bigger and more likeable UA-camrs flaunting codes. 👌🏽
Does the high speed mode decrease the battery life
You know, I did not pay attention to that detail. I might just run that relay and see once the whether tame down alittle. Thanks for that.
@@VeeEUC thank you for answering me. I have one on pre-order. I would just like to know and what is the top speed in high speed mode
@@marlinkeys3972 Gotcha. I'll see if I can test that out. Can't make any promises.
@@VeeEUC ok thanks you are the best
Let's see it hit a pothole....
The speed is only there so it will not cut out at 40 km/h ... Not for idiots to take it to cut out at max speeds...
So to compare it to the S 22 what is better
The Sherman, unfortunately. I say unfortunate because I'm a fan of King Song, but speaking truthfully, I have to give the SS the edge.
@@VeeEUC thanks
@@VeeEUC What about the weight of the SS? Did you find that to be an issue? I'm looking at the S22 and the SS and am leaning towards the S22 because of the weight of the SS
@@dave6627 The SS weight doesn't bother me. I've been riding heavier wheels beforehand, like then Master Pro., which is a few pounds lighter than I.
I've found the heavier the wheel, the more stable it is when riding.
@@dave6627 The weight off the SS doesn't bother me.I've been riding heavier wheels beforehand, like the Master Pro which is a few pounds lighter than I. I find the heavier the wheel the more stable it is.
How to be happy
1. Buy 4k drone
2. Buy Sherman S
3. Ride through wet fields.
Vee, you take great race lines in your riding. Will you enter any races? You covered a lost conversation with the EUC, which is disassembling practicality. I will have to consider that in my next purchase. This was one of your most engaging reviews. The most informative SS review thus far. Thanks
Thank you for the love and support. I truly appreciate it and you. As far as races are concerned, I have a great fear of riding fast around a group of people, especially with the end goal to win. Ive had my fair share of crashes from other people's mishaps., like being sideswiped by a runaway MSP on Marty's tour. (I'm still waiting on being reimbursed for the damages to my wheel.) Lol
Which one should i purchase- Master 9:54 Pro (2nd batch) or Sherm S? I’m 6ft 225lbs and am leaning towards Master pro
Master Pro.
@@VeeEUC i did buy a MP, 9 miles on it, and guessing I need 20miles to unlock
@@stevescott5858 You don't need to unlock a Begode wheel. Out the box you can reach top speed., that's if you're referring to speed.
@@VeeEUC 🤔 the begode app was limiting my speed to 20mph
@@stevescott5858 🤔, have you tried using another app, like EUC World app, Wheel Log or Darknessbot to adjust your speed?
your joking right about the most grippiest stock pedal? Lol, that pedal was absolute garbage. oh yeah I tried them...
Lol., I quite enjoyed them, especially jumping off things.They really proved their usefulness. But as with anything., it's subjective.
awesome video as always! great save! how's the waterproofing?
Thank you for the love and support. I truly appreciate it. As far as rating it as "waterproof", I wouldn't say that; however, there's a level of water "resistance" and it appeared to be fine after riding it in that wet marsh.
@Vee ok, thanks! now I'm really considering the sherman s. I already ordered the ex30 last year. I just hope begode has made a good product.
@@andyl2991 I hope the EX30 lives up to it's specs as well. 😊
👍👍
Exposed wires under the shocks???
Next time assemble the whole wheel instead of bashing it because you forgot to put some of the stuff on it..
Well., if the assembly of the wheel was incomplete., then Leaperkim failed to send all of the parts. There was nothing left to attached. Let's not pretend it doesn't happen if indeed there is missing pieces. And bashing? Is that what you call bashing? That is what I refer as pointing out a potential problem/flaw? That's what reviews are about.
@@VeeEUC You are LITERALLY showing the stand in the video, but you did not attach it and then complains about exposed wires???
I am out of here...
@@JonahHax If you paid attention to my video, I said I did not attach it because I was going to put the SS to the rigors and didn't want to run the risk of damaging it. Truthfully, the stand itself is flimsy, folks have complained about it and let's say for argument sake it snaps or break., we're right back to exposed wires. Leaperkim could've done a better job of protecting those wires in my opinion or made a more sturdy stand.
Also, if I REALLY wanted to "bash" them I had every right to point out the 4 bolts they conveniently left out for the batteries., and it would seem another person complained about that as well.
Q: When getting on the Sherman S, the height of the pedals makes it difficult for me to immediately accelerate, especially when starting uphill and you can’t easily push it into motion before stepping up. Got any tips for accelerating a heavy EUC like the SS off the line?
Torque wheels are not known for their speed but power. Also, the heavier these wheels become, the slower they will get "that" burst of speed out the gate. As far as getting the wheel going, especially up hill., I experience that same thing with the Master Pro. A good pair of pads will help give you the leverage you need to get the wheel going. As long as you can balance on one leg when hopping on a tall wheel, you'll master the push off. When you are in the process of mounting the wheel, lean forward with your lead leg (the leg that's on the wheel as you push off) and push off with the foot that's the ground. It'll be awkward at first because it'll be more of a balancing game before the wheel moves in the direction you want it to. You'll have to practice this maneuver to become proficient with it. Hope that sheds some light on the matter. Good luck.
@@VeeEUC Thanks! I think I have a habit of stepping onto the EUC from behind, which works fine with smaller, non-suspension wheels that have pedals close to the ground. With the SS, my theory is I need to practice getting my hips forward first so it’s a sideways step up. Also I just extended the front pedal sections forward for more leverage. My Kingsong 16X is starting to feel tiny, so I know I’m making progress!
@@manapeace You'll definitely have to retrain your brain to process the side mount of the wheel. You'll have to apply a downward pressure on the leg that's on the wheel to get the wheel to rest against it while you push off. This will give you balancing leverage.,that will transcend in you being able to get the wheel moving in the direction you want it to.
If you don’t mind me chiming in Vee, I’ve found starting “cross- hill” for a foot or two, then turning uphill helps. Also the foot on the ground is always the “uphill” foot. All the best in ‘23 Vee !
@@BabbittdaWabbitt Every bit of advice helps. Thank you for your input. Greatly appreciate it as there's always one way to skin a cat. 😊
The pedals are death.
Saying they're anything other than pending doom undermines your credibility.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and opinion. My credibility has nothing to do with the fact that you and I have a difference of opinions on a pair of stock pedals on an EUC. It boils down to preference. And I venture to say, you and I can agree to disagree on this matter. It really isn't that serious. 🙄
@@VeeEUC having a foot pop off while rounding a corner at 35 is actually quite serious.
But we can agree to disagree on how terrible they are.
@@scottbones Your foot popping off IS an unfortunate event and your experience to claim with this wheel. Mine has been the opposite. And yes, we will have to agree to disagree.
Another reviewer that fails to mention the lack of a smart BMS. Imo for a wheel of this kind of price in 2023 that is unacceptable...
As much time and effort I put into my reviews, there's bound to be something overlooked. And seeming how this is just a passion of mine and not a job, I'm doing a lot better than most. But thank you for sharing your displeasure in my lack of attention to your concern.
Commander Pro is better 😄
Is this facts or opinion? Lol
@@VeeEUC Marty and Roger said it after riding both - build quality is overrated - 134v will always be better than 100v that is fact yes.
@@my_euc_journey1977 On paper larger specs are always impressive/better until you put them through real life situations. Just because you have a wheel with 136v doesn't necessarily mean it is overall better than a 100v wheel in "every" category. Although this is considered comparing apples to oranges., It's no different with cars., you have 6cyl cars than can outperform 8cyl cars. When you take in account a 100+ pound wheel., it requires alot of power to haul it and a rider to the tune, it may perform in some categories like that of a 100v wheel. I'm not saying this is the case, but it's not far fetched.
Besides, Marty and Roger can only speak for themselves. I own the Master Pro and quite frankly don't care for it., but that's my opinion. So again, it really boils down to preference of the individual.
@Vee Just wondering what pads are you using on this video? Thanks!
