I’ve owned the Master pro v2 for a month now, and so far it has been amazing
Glad you have enjoyed it!
Still stuck charging at 10 amp?
I don’t use fast chargers usually. I’ve used them on my iPhone, and I feel (not positive) the battery drains faster, and wear out quicker!
Thanks Jimmy and Andrew! I know many with the Master Pro and they all love them. I want an EX30 for my next wheel as that is enough range for me currently. I am actually fine with the Master range but the EX30 is such a beast. Oh...loved seeing the Losi 5T. That is an amazing RC.
You'll love the EX30. I'm having a blast on it lately because it is so playful. I have never been one to bonk around on an EUC but the EX30 makes it so easy.
Great review guys! I took mine from the West Side of Colorado Springs to Palmer Lake (just north of Monument) and had 40% battery power left. That’s 70 miles! I also hit 45 mph on that ride. Awesome wheel.
That’s awesome dude! Is that a paved trail you were on and if so, what is the total distance for the entire trail? Also, do you have to worry about grizzly bears and mountain lions around that area?
@@chrisulmer694 not paved. I’m not sure about the total distance. I suppose bears and mountain lions could be an issue, but I’ve never had a problem.
I talked to Andrew earlier about the noise... that clanging is DEFINITELY the inner fender. It may be loose or bent.
It's the only thing that can sound like that....
On the steps-i hear the linkage. The incorrect geometry won't allow the shock to move properly.
It's a cheap, but NOT easy replacement.
Other than the bottom pad-i wouldn't even bother.
It's easy to make a fairing and add ur own huge pads to give you control.
Overall, a fantastic, smooth, speedy wheel that can do it all
Great insight! Thanks for the info.
Dude jimmy your channel is almost at 100K subs, congrats!! I remember when you had less than 5K
Thanks for the support! It's been a fun ride!
Just got a Shermax. The range and the reliability were my main selling points. I also got a Mten4 and despite my hesitancy with Begode, the wheel has been great.
Mten4 is the worst wheel ever made tho.
@@bbcvscj my expectations where as a toy. I agree it’s a shitty wheel but a great toy
@@bbcvscj WTF, big disagree, Mten4 is so much fun.
@@bbcvscj
Nonsense
@@bbcvscj Mten4 is amazing what are you on about. 25mph and 20 + miles of range riding on a freaking cereal box essentially. Its a specialty wheel
My master pro is already home and we already have 1000km together I love it!
Glad you are loving it! I am excited for the warmer weather to do a marathon ride on it.
You guys didn't mention that it has adjustable peddle height. I have mine on the lowest setting for more stability. I recommend that for high speed riding.
That is good insight!
B.
I totally agree with Andrew!
I have bought the Master Pro V2. Primarily bought for the range. Glad they upgraded to the metal cases. I am only 148lbs though, so am worried about the weight.
It's a heavy wheel but you will get used to it over time.
Yikes! I’m 205, & it’s heavy for me at times especially on long rides. But it’s manageable. Just one hell of a work out. Lol get Ready!💪🏽😅
It helps them to make so many wheels. There is always a wheel for everyone and it makes everyone feel included each year. We need a 100 mph capable wheel by 2026 and begode might lead the way
No thanks for that huge wheel. And I'm kind of tired of poor build quality and how many upgrades need to be done to new Begode wheels. I've had a few of them, but if there is a next wheel, it probably won't be Begode. I don't want a wheel that takes a lot of "getting used to" and $500+ of upgrades.
There isn't a single wheel that has come out that didn't need upgrades. All of them have faults initially-problems that come up after long term ownership.
All wheels need after market pads.
Unless you already have a huge wheel (there's only one other), there's going to take some getting used to. That's just Tha way euc's are.
2000km on my v12ht doesn't agree. All stock with manufacturer power pads
@Felix Tan are you saying v12 hasn't had issues?
Have you heard of the ghost acceleration from this wheel? Apparently not. It can be new or old- it just keeps going on its own. Wrong Way reported it.
@@mig6220 If it's even a real issue, it's really rare as WW himself said. Begode owners just live in a different universe.
@Felix Tan you can blindly brand bash all you want.
I have wheels from 3 different companies- including an Inmotion wheel. I see all the v12 issues in the V12 groups. Including the random cutouts.
All this proves what i said- no wheel has ever been perfect from the start.
Please compare the Patton to the S22 Pro.
We would love to get our hands on a Patton.
Я полностью согласен с ребятами. Бегут уже совсем обнаглели ты заказываешь первую версию, пока она придет уже выходит четвертая версия. Они не могут довести довести до ума одно колесо, как выпускают следующее. Мне кажется, они еще забыли сказать об ужасном качестве сборки. После покупки нужно обязательно перебрать колесо и протянуть все болты. За обзор отдельное спасибо.
For the longest time, I was so on track to getting a Master Pro. I’m a bigger rider so on paper, it’s a perfect fit. What ended up derailing my purchase was the whole v1 vs v2 shift with the metal battery boxes and headlight and overheating. I feel that if they could just refine this formula, it would be a great wheel but at that price of nearly 5k, I don’t want to spend more to “fix” what leaves to be desired on current v1 or v2 Master Pros. Also, in terms of use case, as much as I wanna say I do mostly fast and hard rides, in truth a majority of my rides are more chill rides with my kids, casual group rides, moderate dirt trail rides, or long solo rides where a Master Pro may just be overkill, especially if I’m packing the wheel into the car often for road trips.
For now, my choice of a 134v big battery suspension wheel goes to the Commander Pro, Batch 3 with CNC handles and initial issues addressed. What won me over was the versatility with the power, torque, suspension, lighter weight and weight distribution, and “smaller wheel feel” in comparison to other wheels in its class like the EX30 and Sherman S. As much as wheels are trending to be more like motorcycles, I still want to hold onto the portability and convenience of EUCs while I can.
2:27 the dogs and the rc car is cool
Ya that beep scares the shit out of me too
Ticking time bomb!
Love you vids guys but only the EUC related ones, I have absolute zero interest in any other electric mode of transportation, Now,. ..with all the new wheels coming, even in Jimmy's vids, there's the good old Shermie tugging along. i have one, in adddtion to a v12HT and an 18XL, and boy...I'd probably get the Sherman (S?) again, the Shermax or maybe, just maybe the Patton . Simple, connected, light for its capabilities, and so much fun
The sherman is my go to wheel for when I film. Solid, big battery, fast, and it doesn't beep like a banshee every time I set it down to record a shot.
@@freshlycharged got it! One might add also, it's the connectedness (sic!) of the wheel with the ground that renders it so...organic, natural. Dunno, I love all about it and the fact that stepping off and on the pedals doesn't feel like disembarking from a Boeing 747
I have to agree with Andrew.
Because they release so many products, they don't have enough time to make that one quality product that can be the game changer.
Things like a brighter display, a better kickstand, amongst other things, could've been thought out before releasing it.
I feel like Begode is more focused on quantity and quality. However, I do enjoy the firmware and power on Begode wheels. It is a love/hate relationship.
Got my ex30 for a week now. Coming from a 60lb RS & a 73lb EXN, 1st ride on the Ex was a horrible experience. I'm just a average Asian guy & the wheel felt like I was in a locomotive & turning & worse, stopping it more so. 4rides in, its getting better & easier but dang if I dont feel every extra lbs > the RS & T4. But its fast & 40mph has never felt so slow, least not a wheel I've ever ridden. I can imagine the Master Pro being more so
Just got a T4 and that's the sweet spot for me. Just annoyed I have to spend $500 on extras to make it a finished product (handle, kick stands, battery protection, fairings, and power pads)
I got master and its the same story. I rhunk most wheels need the upgrades. Thats not just a begode thing.
At 08:00, it is not kickstand it is mudguard rattle. Nicely done review.
Thank you for the great review. E-NJOY your E-MOTION and HAVE A SAFE RIDE NO MATTER HOW MANY WHEELS ARE BELLOW YOUR FEETS
I am 5’6 and that wheel is waaaayy too big for me. I have the master and that can be a beast to manage at times.
I think Begode releasing new wheels all the time is mostly good because the other companies are WAY TOO SLOW. It is bad because they won’t care about supporting the older platforms fairly quickly. I love the new wheels in development by them now. They intend to remain the fastest company and it’s evident.
I do not like taller wheels. Had the same issues with the Abrams. I need for my knees to be well above the wheel. I do not feel comfortable turning when my knees hit the side of the wheel. Or when they are too small like the Falcon. Ex30 height is my sweet spot.
I just stumbled across you guy's channel and I think it's pretty cool. I'm only a couple videos in and I am wanting to know the price of what you are testing out. I know I can look it up, but I think you should include the price with your review.
Welcome aboard! We posted prices in the past, but they can really fluctuate so we decided just to leave a link in the description so you can get the most up to date pricing.
Awesome review.. It's my favorite wheel so far, will reach 3000 km in a week or so
Hands down BEST Wheel for anyone 200+ lbs! The only Wheel you can Full Send you’re Entire ride! Beast! 💪🏽😈
I would have suggested, to the designers to update this V1 with hard battery cases,.
Ensure the tilt back operates, tilt back when can't go faster, low volts, any system failure, over heats, at my pre set limit.
Ensure water proofing.
When you look at that list its short, coding and tilt back is done on a key board away from the wheel.
For what i call class 4 wheel.
Class 1 is wheels of 1000wh this is my newly made up battery class view.
Class 2 2000wh
class 3 3000wh v13 the best tilt back i've seen and shown by Ustride last night.
class 4 Master Pro v1 4800wh v2 and they are almost in class 5
class 5
I like the Master pro v1 cause it looks cool to, ha, just those few things above i would suggest.
I have this feeling that Inmotion is setting a high quality bar, there tilt back and safety features does seem high quality.
On my monster 2400wh i rode 68km of gravel track in 3.5 hours with 2 bars of 5 left.
So double that yeah.
And all that adds up to a grand total of a lot of fun.
Thanks for the vid. Ride safe.
I wish all wheels used a backlit lcd display.
I'm planning my next adventure, this time on a unicycle. I want to do Patagonia Chile, Carretera Austral in 30 days, 900 miles. Do you think master pro is best choice for me? Thanks.
I didn't know the kickstand was causing the rattling noise going over small bumps, I couldn't see it. Thx
Looks to me like you dialed in the tire pressure right. I see lots of people riding with it too hard, and then complain about the ride quality
If you love to cruise long distance and don't mind lifting 120 lbs, then yeah, nothing beats the Master Pro 👍
these $4,000.00 Wheels are ALL disappointing. I am getting an older wheel as an all-arounder (kingsong 18XL) to add to my wheel stock. the only new wheel i got was the Begode T4 which i have love some things about and hate some things about. the things I hate (wheel size, battery arrangement, kinda top heavy) are not mistakes manufacturers of this type of product should be making. At least not if they ride what they produce.
Sherman S is the bomb!! Awesome 😎
you will love the 18XL. i have had it for 3 years and it's in my opinion to this day one of the TOP 3 BEST WHEELS of all Times. I also have the OG Sherman and an inmotion v12 ht. I put many miles on my wheels due to a long commute and a great bikesystem in Canada
@@Electric_roller What are the other two top wheels in your opinion? I’m looking to for my first wheel and so far the V11 seems like the winner but I’m already eyeing the Sherman S
@@MySonNamedBort The other 2 top wheels of all time, in my opinion are The original Sherman and the Nicola Tesla
What I don't get from this high-priced wheel... is a plastic battery casing. It seems simply dangerous to me. Will they resist a crash?
"You can ride fast, you can ride hard and you can ride smoother"
What are those brown gloves Andrew is wearing? Do they help with wiping out?
They are the Strongsuit Warrior. They are made from leather and have some protection. I pair them with Demon wrist guards and they do well to keep you dexterity. amzn.to/3GGieBN
i can't buy any wheel that doesn't have communication between the bms and motherboard because of how big of a fire risk it is and i don't think you mentioned anything about battery safety so i'm going to take that as its really bad as usual with begode
Not a single fire since switching to Samsung batteries.
That includes all Begode wheels since the Hero
@@mig6220 and i am very happy about that however say you ride in a bit of rain and the wheel was poorly water proofed because of the bad qc that begode has then there is no way of knowing if somethings wrong (same if the battery is bad from the factory) and who knows maybe in a year all of these wheels will start catching fire because of slow damage overtime so yeah still not safe enough
When you say your previous speed tests didn’t end well, can you elaborate or share a link?
Look up Freshly Charged Master Crash.
@@Andrew-vt4jt
Just watched it. Wow. 😳
What a video! Glad to read that you recovered from that crash.
Thank you for your lessons & sacrifices to the PEV community. 🙏🏼
I might just have to upgrade my cheap Bodyprox wrist guards to those Demon wrist guards you were wearing.
Curious the GPS MPH @85% PWM
It 100% HURTS FOR BOTH THEM AND ESP us... MAKING that many wheel and then having to revise then over and over hurts us as we never know just how good a product is and for them it is the same thing, they revise and put out so many models they cannot make a elite product but just elite speed and torque with mediocre parts. The EX 30 is their best wheel yet imo but they will not just start building on that greatness and make a few models with that fit and finished product. They will continue to put out exciting sounding FAST wheels with very limited safety instead, watch my words and look at what's in the pipeline....
riding in the city is suck 😂 but I still love it. Master of long range. Let's say 6-7 hr riding.
"You may not even need a car after you get this wheel." Exactly the reason why germany will put you in jail after you get cought on an EUC.
Why? I mean cars kill people. A euc hit I doubt you die.
@@Boolai cause u know all biggest car companies are from German right. They don’t want to see any car alternatives. Not only German but roughly all EU countries don’t want to see it either. Where will the tax, parking fee, parking fine, speed ticket,… go? 😂😂
@@mikelo9006 Exactly. Only that in other EU countries you are at least allowed to use it up to a speed of 12 mph and don't face the risk of ending up in jail.
@@Boolai Here in germany you can totally drunk kill someone with your car and still become Minister of Transport. Of course in the same party that did a study on EUC in which it was "scientifically" found that EUC are completely uncontrollable and dangerous and therefore unfortunately cannot be allowed on the road or anywhere else. You are not even allowed to ride in your own garden unless it is completely fenced.
@@MaximilianGros lucky me that I currently work in Hungary, u know the country without any law. So I’m pretty comfortable to ride EUC around. But I’m still scared to ride on road or even shared bike path on road. There is always a chance that some idiot drivers will crash me to dead without any consequences. Police for sure will claim “u drive an illegal vehicle without 2 wheels and physical brake” 😑
i'm still gonna go the v13 when I can afford. safety first.
The safety is extremely overrated. U get the V13 for quality.
MasPro has the best batteries, so no more fires.
V13 will cutout when over torqued. The motor is slow to engage the brakes.
You must be talking about the first batch of the v13. The new batch is upgraded and has enough range to please you. And when it comes to safety it's inmotion it knocks begode out the water hands down and I like the master pro but the v13 is the better wheel.
@@tremartin4727 nope.
Unless they switched motors-c30 is still a motor that will cut out on demand on hills, and has horrible brakes. Wrong Way has shown this, as well as others. That's why Begode no longer uses it...u will cut out around 10kW of power- but Master Pro has done 17Kw pulls regularly.
As far as range- if I'm paying that much- it will have at least 3600wh of battery. That would make it a 100mile wheel if it's power consumption wasnt so crazy. That's too much weight to do what plenty wheels can do speed wise, and many are more comfortable and customizable, with MUCH more range.
And u don't have to pay extra for a seat and a kickstand... lol
It’s ashame there’s so many 100+ volt EUCs but scooters are still stuck in 60/72v world.
Also Begode has a new wheel out….
they released 12 wheels in a year s (including the new ones)
I thought it was fitting that we released this video the same day a new one was released.
Love your channel but you guys really need to consider rethinking those helmets your promoting. The speeds the wheels are capable of you really need motorcycle protection. Not skateboard junk. TSG pass has only become popular for the looks and the knock offs like Predator and others are even worse. They might save your face from road rash in a slide but an actual collision from something they will not save you from anything.
Good insight. As the PEVs we ride go faster, our gear needs to be upgraded to keep up. Got any suggestions?
I spoke with Predator and they are working on coming out with a DOT approved helmet in the future.
⚡👀👀⚡
ex30 vs master pro🤔
Really depends on what type of riding you do most.
How are you
We are doing amazing! Warmer weather is on the horizon and today I got to ride the Fliteboard and a 55+ mph ebike. It's a great time to be alive!
💯‼️
this a good first EUC? lol!
But also Im 6"1 and 225-230lbs.
It would be tough to learn on for your first EUC due to the sheer weight and height. You may want to start with a smaller wheel first.
Its battery capacity is the only selling point, unfortunately.
Get a better helmet
Please guy where can i buy it from
