It just feels like they saw how much love the Sherman is getting and thought “go bigger” without understanding what it is exactly that makes the Sherman so beloved.
I watched his video and I can tell that he was absolutely miserable on it!! and with all of its potential problems, I can see why he wouldn't want to deal with it.
There are other reviewers including Vee who are reporting QC problems with this model such as loose wiring and bad (noisy and grinding) bearings right out the box.
@@OWGAC For point 4: The missing torque and agility are not from „bad optimization“. Thats just the barriers reached with this wheel size, amd with what amount of amperes are able to be pushed through such wheel. Bigger wheel- more amps needed for same amount of agility/torque. And there we go why it probably burned: To much amps for that thing! What nearly nobody of the reviewers recognized: GW uses a board with less Mosfets than usual (why it instead even would be better to use MORE)! So seams we are back at user beta testing ;-)
@@OWGAC You’re welcome, anything to help your channel grow except for the shoe box of hundreds that I do not have but anything other than that I would help!!😂
I see now how you prepared me for the hard truths coming in this installment, when you said the manufacturers need to be constantly reminded that EUC's ARE NOT A PASSING FAD
The EUC world is changing so very quickly that I understand their difficulties in keeping up. But I think we’re going to get to a point where if they cannot, they will not survive..
I love this review. Please be sure to release another video when the improvements. I've been waiting for a long time for this wheel so I'm not ready to abandon it just yet. I sure hope the improve the performance and speakers
@@OWGAC this wheel is to close to being a good wheel to get if they correct things you pointed out in the video. I actually like the way it looks. I just need better performance and speakers for me to buy it
@@OWGAC yup, gonna have to baby this one! Definitely not a stunt wheel! We are going to have to come up with reinforcement/isolation solutions as the end users to really dial these in.
Remember, its not the wobble that throws you its how the wheel react to it. The larger diameter tire dampen any sort of wobble and usually self corrects, that’s what makes the monster more stable than other wheels.
very interesting review and absolutely wonderful filming as usual in your videos! you should get and award from NYC tourist board as the city looks awesome filmed by you!
One thing we have to give Gotway (or the company with the new name): They are pioneers in the right direction! And even though the new Monster will not become a best seller and is far from perfect as you judged correctly in your video, it is another important stepping stone towards the wheels we want to ride in 2025. So even if I won’t buy the monster and stick with my older Gotway wheels and my Sherman, I appreciate the effort Gotway makes to develop new wheels and their sense of pioneering this rather new technology. I probably might buy another of their wheels (may be an MSP) just to support their cause.
Great review Hsiang, by far the best so far. I do give credit to Begode for trying to push out new wheels even if there are growing pains during the process. I’m in!
I have a script and I usually try to repeat the same paragraph bout 4-5 times. It's the only way I can speak half way intelligently while riding at the same time!! =D
Make a small lightweight foldup cargo trailer that attaches to it that can hold a small $200 _800w 25lbs portable gas inverter generator to recharge the battery = Instant gas electric hybrid unicycle . I want to do this to a good full suspension ebike. I'll place the generator on the side of the bike where 1 of the saddlebags would normally go. (Made to easily attach & remove when long range is needed ) The small inverter generators are actually very quiet when running and use very little gas at 1/2 throttle 400w of power.
you could, but why should you fix a brand new wheel you just spent almost $4,000 on!?? its crazy that you need mods just to ride a wheel properly and safely!
Very nice comprehensive video! I think I will still go with the Veteran sherman because of the boxy design that allows to make a range extender on top of the wheel :D
I think the Monster Pro was rushed out. I have no proof of that but with all the design flaws it seems that it was just rushed. The Monster V3 is my favorite wheel to ride and I hope the Pro will one day in my arsenal. That said... I still don't trust Gotway/Bigode enough to try a first generation designed wheel from them no matter how much I want one.
Great review as always. When I saw that guy lean over, grab the handle, and just shoot off like a rocket, I knew we were in new territory. I actually like that you can only unlock that potential with that effort and skill otherwise, it would be too dangerous... right? We all know gotway's shell and quality control is meh but because of that, it's forced the community to innovate. It's THIS innovation that has empowered Gotway to improve. It's time to just accept that this is how it is and this is how we are where we are. Question is, how do WE keep innovating these wheels after we get them from Gotway? We could easily improve the domestic aftermarket market here and start selling cases to transfer our wheels into. It's just lazy on our part to wait for Gotway to do it. Sure these wheels are expensive but if they were made here in the US, they would be twice the cost. If anyone thinks they can do better, prove me wrong but right now, we get the parts for these unicycles already neatly (somewhat) packaged in a plastic suitcase that can be used as is or utilized in a better way if so desired. A great example is the Tesla EUC. THIS is where I think we go from here. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this too. I might repost this on the EUC forum lol. I guess I got inspired by your video Hsiang ✌😄
If it's things like shell or even ergonomic then we can certainly improve it through aftermarket accessories, but the thing that worries me are problem that comes out of the inherent engineering of the wheel, that would be much harder to fix!
Thanks for the video! I had a chance to see one in the wild yesterday and know the experienced riders that rode it decided not to get it and stick with the Sherman. Both riders having a Monster in their fleet. Seeing Speedy Feet UK sell his after doing a range test was also a very bad sign for this wheel.
Someone also made the comment on Wrongway's vid: Edgar Kazak "Just received information, that Gotway RS and Nikola have ignited a whole cargo container on the ship, so ewheels(aparently it was their cargo) issued a special announcement. Preliminary that was the RS machine, which started a fire. Beware of these machines."
Nice review, but I don't think "performance" should just be about top speed. If you take into account acceleration, braking, maneuverability and off-roading it probably wouldn't score 5/5 :-P
Remember performance is just the theoretical capability of the wheel, the Monster can theoretically accelerate brake and may even off road (with proper tire) better than anything else, because of its larger motor and battery, but the problem is that its not tune to allow easy access to any of it. I have tested this by pulling on the handle, and it can accelerate and brake great, but its impossible to safely ride with one hand on the handle!
What about riding in the wet: rain, snow and all? Denis Hagov from EUCSALE said that if you do, you void the warranty after observing the lack of waterproofing. What's your experience on that Hsiang? (keeping in mind that: your mainboard burned)
I personally had not seen any issues with riding in the wet. But I can confirmed that the weather sealing is bad and considering the moisture problem with the bearing, I would also avoid riding in wet condition as well (plus the tire is terrible for it!)
This is why I separated performance and ridability; there are more than enough stopping power from that 3500w motor, pulling the handle and sitting all the way behind the wheel I can get it to stop just as quickly as the original monster, but it is extremely hard to do and not practical way to ride!
@@OWGAC Very true, it just sometimes feel its not highlighted enough as stopping any larger weighty wheel from even 30mph does not happen in a meter or two from when you start the stopping process. Keep up the good work and thanks for the response.
Fair review. I like it. You are very entertaining to watch and listen to. And you are also really funny. :) And I agree, despite the problems, it is tempting to have the fastest thing around with the most battery. But this will be a pass for me, the veteran sherman is more than enough fast for me. Can’t seem to hit any beeps however fast I am going. Probably it is lack of bravery. :)
I can't imagine one of these being street legal in upstate New York. Try going 50 mph with one of these on any road here in broad daylight and you WILL be ticketed lol.
lol bro ik i m22 years late but have oyu notseen all the earleir videos ALL IN NYC of unicide squad, kamkaze joe, TheGranduerLife, etc etc etc etc riding the shit out of their MS' and nikolas back in 2019/2020
Speedyfeet tested this wheel & said it’s so bad that he wouldn’t even stock it 🇬🇧. It doesn’t accelerate or brake properly or safely. Also a volt meter is pointless when it should be a battery meter. The range is around 60 miles not 100 miles. Definitely don’t buy this!
I don't know why even at this point anyone would be expectant of any big-wheeled EUC to be easy to transport up or down stairs. We have to accept that for a long time now the convenience diminishes as wheels only get bigger
Well as much as I whine about it, compare to just about anything else with similar performance like an escooter or ebike this is still easier by a mile!!
@@OWGAC nah bro. I'll make it clear that I'm not addressing your statements per se. It's the entire community. We need to practical expectations. I was expecting your response just so I can clarify this. It's not personal. So it's not about you whining 😊. Its a bigger wheel so some features cant be fixed. Good example is the kill switch..its too giant a wheel to even lift. But a good argument for upgrading the shell is the very same reason that it's a giant wheel. The latter is practical. I wonder how much better EUCs will get significantly.
@@OWGAC Neat backpack though. I was looking at jogging child carriers myself to be able to ditch my car. Trailers might be a bit restrictive. To think you had a Monster Pro on your back would have been batshit. Thx so much by the way for your ride through P-Town on your S18. Sheer joy to watch, now that traveling is restricted. Keep it up!
great review hsiang. i would get this just for the performance feels you described. but the price just doesnt compute for me. WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING ON YOUR BACK AT THE END BRO?! IT LOOKS LIKE A MINI FRIDGE FROM THE ANGLE LOL
you can brake and accelerate on it, but it takes a LOT of effort and body lean and you NEED pads. the power is there, but its just very VERY hard to get to it. you can prob see how much more I am leaning on this wheel as compared to how he's riding it.
Looks like a wild animal loose on the streets of NYC and you're along for the ride Hsiang... maybe a wheel for a very large man? ... what's next .. a 40 inch wheel with a seat on top? ... oh wait, a true unicycle .. lol ... I sure hope the EUC manufacturers don't follow this larger size wheel is better model ... geez if that got away from you in a 45mph crash that could wipe out a few people. I can't see it being a popular concept in the long run as you're starting to see the non-port-ability factor emerge. Will need to start buying pickup trucks just to transport EUC's out to trail country ... Nuts!
I do have to say that all things being relative and that as heavy as the Monster pro is, compare to even things like a 150cc moped, which goes about the same speed 90lbs is nothing. My 500cc mp3 scooter weight in at 500lbs and there are many motorcycle that weight even more. I think it just means that these type of wheel would be used very differently than let say a 40lb 16" wheel.
@@OWGAC Yeah I just watched ZoomWheelsBrian in the UK hit 53.4mph on it ... long range cruiser for sure ... I can't image these wheels getting past 24" to maintain ease of transporting ... with all of the quality issues, one would think these cats would focus on fixing internal layout for safety and water ingress etc ... point taken. Great channel!
@@OWGAC should I get v2 or v3 instead of MPro? also I've been asking but what's that fanny pack or bag type thing that ahs the shiny silver clip that yo uawalys wear from your left shoulder? Thanks Hs, good to see you grow more too
Hsiang,, need you help. do you know, can you fined out or know who you or I can talk to about any changes or upgrades to the Mp24 since your last review. Thanks for your Time! and hope to meet you or talk in person.. Much respect Turnaround.
Have to say if you’re into acg get onto my friend acg Mack on ig he’s New York based and runs the acg community man!! Tell him kingkoi sent you!! Haha love this stuff man great to see some acg in use as all conditions means all conditions regardless of if flying around on one wheel haha
Wheels like this make me glad I lift weights - but even then, 90 pounds is a lot for one hand. Gotway needs to take a cue from its Veteran exiles and think about practical redesign.
Seems like a complete letdown when comparing it to a Sherman dollar for dollar. I like my MSP but I ride my Sherman more. Plus the whole spontaneous combustion thing. Great video and review.
Wrongway posted a video about two Gotway wheels catching on fire and burning up recently. ua-cam.com/video/Oa79go_aUfc/v-deo.html Gotway seem to really have serious design and safety issues. Looking at the layout of the battery and mother board compartment, it really does look like DIY homemade in a garage. $4k might not be the price when it catches on fire and burns down your house or car. Great vid, look forward to the next ones, thanks.
One question Other than the poor accelerating and poor breaking performance, is riding the new monster pro that much worst than riding the previous monster version 3? I'm asking you because you are the only reviewer I've seen that truly likes the Monster type of unicycle. In my opinion your opinion is more reliable.
It's monster magnified with greater weight but more power. It's capable of great accelleration and decent braking but you have to work hard to get to it.
@@OWGAC ok thanks for replying , I don't like the pedal dip on the sherman at all even the newest version out . Every wheel is different for different riding style or purpose . I am so glad I never sold my gotway not Begode Msx 100 volt 1860 wh Euc it's the best performance and speed for me .
That's the free-spin speed. So basically, under theoretical perfect conditions with no resistance. It's like absolute zero, it exists theoretically but it can't happen.
@@THELASTWARR1OR come on now, 4 grand we're looking at motorcycle prices. If they're going to charge this much, we're going to need premium materials. Especially when the product reaches motorcycle speeds.
This especially annoys me considering the care and attention the other EUC companies are putting into their product, Gotway who sells the most expensive wheel for some reason seems to pay the least amount of attention.

It just feels like they saw how much love the Sherman is getting and thought “go bigger” without understanding what it is exactly that makes the Sherman so beloved.
Honestly the monster pro feels sloppy; even more so than past Gotway wheels.
Monster pro > sherman in every way besides nimbleness
Who else just watches for Hsiang's filming and composition chops? Also the backpack shots right at the end.
=D
I think this may be the most beautiful looking wheel ever made. That MSX/RS look is awesome blown up to this size!
I'll prob get over it in time, but to me especially given how good the other new wheels all look this was a disappointment
@@OWGAC Imo sherman is very ugly, but it's ok because it's rugged/utilitarian.
@@johncraftenworth7847 different strokes for different folks, I think the Sherman is the bast looking wheel out there.
Speedyfeet thought so poorly of this wheel that they aren't even going to stock it.

Very much so! I really hope some of the other EUC companies would also start making bigger wheel EUCs!!
At your level of skill and experience, I can understand the conclusion that you still want it despite the shortcomings.
Clicked Like before watching. Who else?

Even if your wheel has a potential to go flame on you can always count on HSiang to say the wheel is AWESOME. Lol gotta love it
LOL somehow Hsiang thinking everything is awesome is a meme now..
Ordered one after I tried it...🤔 🤷♂️ FULL SEND! Still can't wait despite the potential headaches!
Be very very careful with it, make sure that you inspect it closely. Since I do not trust Gotway’s QC lately.
@@OWGAC yup, gonna have to baby this one! Definitely not a stunt wheel! We are going to have to come up with reinforcement/isolation solutions as the end users to really dial these in.
Finely a reason , not to skip leg day 😄
Or Arm day if you ever want to carry it up a flight of stairs!
Unnerving to see how many wobbles that threw up riding over some bumps at about 9:16... and this is with a super-stable wheel!
Remember, its not the wobble that throws you its how the wheel react to it. The larger diameter tire dampen any sort of wobble and usually self corrects, that’s what makes the monster more stable than other wheels.
@@OWGAC looking at the footage of the NYC rides, I'm always amazed at how you guys just fly down these roads that have the most TERRIBLE surfaces! 😨 😅
Great job bro I love this review! I may have to pick this up!

$4000 should come with a 4 yr full warranty. My $3500 S10 truck lasted 15yrs & 150000 miles
hard to beat the value of a reliable used truck, buuuut there's gas and maintenance and ev usually requires a lot less of either.

I don't know why even at this point anyone would be expectant of any big-wheeled EUC to be easy to transport up or down stairs. We have to accept that for a long time now the convenience diminishes as wheels only get bigger
Well as much as I whine about it, compare to just about anything else with similar performance like an escooter or ebike this is still easier by a mile!!
@@OWGAC nah bro. I'll make it clear that I'm not addressing your statements per se. It's the entire community. We need to practical expectations. I was expecting your response just so I can clarify this. It's not personal. So it's not about you whining 😊. Its a bigger wheel so some features cant be fixed. Good example is the kill switch..its too giant a wheel to even lift. But a good argument for upgrading the shell is the very same reason that it's a giant wheel. The latter is practical. I wonder how much better EUCs will get significantly.
inertial forces are hard to tame
Yes its a bit of a workout, but I actually really enjoyed it. Its difficult to describe but the wheel pushes back and that makes it fun.
2/5 for convenience? What are you comparing it to - a wheel barrow?
LOL, try walking a few miles with the trolleyless monster, I swear it screwed up my shoulder for a whole day!!
For those stairs going up. Leave the wheel on and angle it on the side I'll the stairs and push it up. Easier imo if you know what I mean.
You hear that?........ Oh nm..... it's my bowl of Rice Crispy's.
Confused by this?? What r u trying to say?
@@OWGAC being sarcastic due to the motherboard close to the batteries.
Omg did i hear Hsiang curse???
LOL
You didn't hear shit, biatch...lol jk sorry
What's that EUC box you have on your back at the end? Are you crazy???
LOL it was just the empty box! Don’t have the wheel in it =D
@@OWGAC Neat backpack though. I was looking at jogging child carriers myself to be able to ditch my car. Trailers might be a bit restrictive.
To think you had a Monster Pro on your back would have been batshit.
Thx so much by the way for your ride through P-Town on your S18. Sheer joy to watch, now that traveling is restricted.
Keep it up!
great review hsiang. i would get this just for the performance feels you described. but the price just doesnt compute for me.
WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING ON YOUR BACK AT THE END BRO?! IT LOOKS LIKE A MINI FRIDGE FROM THE ANGLE LOL
LOL that was the box the Monster pro came in!
@@OWGAC hah! epitomy of nyc grit
Are you carrying the monster at the end of the video???
LOL noway! it was just the box =D
Just don’t jump this wheel. 🔥 🔥 🔥
More like.. don’t let David jump it!
You didn't mention braking. Speedyfeet's review was critical of the ability of a lighter rider's ability to accelerate and especially brake.
you can brake and accelerate on it, but it takes a LOT of effort and body lean and you NEED pads. the power is there, but its just very VERY hard to get to it.
you can prob see how much more I am leaning on this wheel as compared to how he's riding it.
I've heard the braking is pretty shocking as well, which is pretty alarming on something so fast 😞
sooooo...... Monster Pro vs Sherman vs Monster 22"?
- which one would You buy nowadays (and why)?
this depends heavily on personal preference, Monster will be HARDER to ride than the sherman.
Nice Hsiang. eWheels hates you though :-)
I blame it all on David!! LOL
Its made for sitting man,but you look good while standing :D
we never got a seat for it, the EX seat sorta fit but you really have to lean on this wheel so seated riding takes some work..
Looks like a wild animal loose on the streets of NYC and you're along for the ride Hsiang... maybe a wheel for a very large man? ... what's next .. a 40 inch wheel with a seat on top? ... oh wait, a true unicycle .. lol ... I sure hope the EUC manufacturers don't follow this larger size wheel is better model ... geez if that got away from you in a 45mph crash that could wipe out a few people. I can't see it being a popular concept in the long run as you're starting to see the non-port-ability factor emerge. Will need to start buying pickup trucks just to transport EUC's out to trail country ... Nuts!
I do have to say that all things being relative and that as heavy as the Monster pro is, compare to even things like a 150cc moped, which goes about the same speed 90lbs is nothing. My 500cc mp3 scooter weight in at 500lbs and there are many motorcycle that weight even more. I think it just means that these type of wheel would be used very differently than let say a 40lb 16" wheel.
@@OWGAC Yeah I just watched ZoomWheelsBrian in the UK hit 53.4mph on it ... long range cruiser for sure ... I can't image these wheels getting past 24" to maintain ease of transporting ... with all of the quality issues, one would think these cats would focus on fixing internal layout for safety and water ingress etc ... point taken. Great channel!
I got my wheel and I was wondering how I join a NYC group ride ?
Get on the telegram NYC euc collective chat!!
Thanx 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Now if they just made it affordable 😅
im Still rolling on my Monster v1 Lmaoo
I am actually thinking of downgrading to the v2 just so I have higher top speed!
@@OWGAC should I get v2 or v3 instead of MPro? also I've been asking but what's that fanny pack or bag type thing that ahs the shiny silver clip that yo uawalys wear from your left shoulder? Thanks Hs, good to see you grow more too
What jacket are you wearing?
Its from Nike ACG!
@@OWGAC nice, it’s awesome.
Hsiang,, need you help. do you know, can you fined out or know who you or I can talk to about any changes or upgrades to the Mp24 since your last review. Thanks for your Time! and hope to meet you or talk in person.. Much respect Turnaround.
Have to say if you’re into acg get onto my friend acg Mack on ig he’s New York based and runs the acg community man!! Tell him kingkoi sent you!! Haha love this stuff man great to see some acg in use as all conditions means all conditions regardless of if flying around on one wheel haha
Wheels like this make me glad I lift weights - but even then, 90 pounds is a lot for one hand. Gotway needs to take a cue from its Veteran exiles and think about practical redesign.
YES! Not just going with the same old design again and again!
Seems like a complete letdown when comparing it to a Sherman dollar for dollar. I like my MSP but I ride my Sherman more.
Plus the whole spontaneous combustion thing.
Great video and review.
thanks! yes unfortunately since it could have been sooo much more...
подскажите на какую камеру снимаете?
Wrongway posted a video about two Gotway wheels catching on fire and burning up recently.
ua-cam.com/video/Oa79go_aUfc/v-deo.html
Gotway seem to really have serious design and safety issues.
Looking at the layout of the battery and mother board compartment, it really does look like DIY homemade in a garage.
$4k might not be the price when it catches on fire and burns down your house or car.
Great vid, look forward to the next ones, thanks.
I have been thinking about this more in light of what Adam had talked about, will dig into it deeper in my next video!!
One question
Other than the poor accelerating and poor breaking performance, is riding the new monster pro that much worst than riding the previous monster version 3? I'm asking you because you are the only reviewer I've seen that truly likes the Monster type of unicycle. In my opinion your opinion is more reliable.
It's monster magnified with greater weight but more power. It's capable of great accelleration and decent braking but you have to work hard to get to it.
I like the Sherman better.
Monster really is a very specialized wheel, not for everyone certainly. But God I wish veteran would make a 24" euc!!
hahaha,good boy,good job
Does it have pedal dip like the sherman ?
I don't tilt the wheel enough in turns to notice, also I ride in Hard/ medium mode also.
@@OWGAC ok thanks for replying , I don't like the pedal dip on the sherman at all even the newest version out . Every wheel is different for different riding style or purpose . I am so glad I never sold my gotway not Begode Msx 100 volt 1860 wh Euc it's the best performance and speed for me .
65mph? 😈
I wish!
@@OWGAC That's what it showed on the video? were you Going Downhill or something? 😂😭
That's the free-spin speed. So basically, under theoretical perfect conditions with no resistance. It's like absolute zero, it exists theoretically but it can't happen.
Zoomwheels Brian hit 53.4mph on it.
@@GiffysChannel Ahh i already understand this Theory you just pick up and wheels spins to maximum RPM 😈
Yet an other business not listenning to the community :'( at least they try!
I am curious to see how they'll do given the universally bad review they got on this
Am here 😁.. second 😆
Dedication I love it!
Its Tishawn!!!
@@TishawnFahie thank you EUC god 🙏🏼😁
Why oh why can't they chill on the plastic?
Plastic is cheaper
@@THELASTWARR1OR come on now, 4 grand we're looking at motorcycle prices. If they're going to charge this much, we're going to need premium materials. Especially when the product reaches motorcycle speeds.
@@delbomb3131 welcome to china
@@THELASTWARR1OR is the sherman not made in China?
Yup, for that much at least give us a steel frame like the Sherman, come on!!
Not the fastest. Sherman can safely reach 88-90kph and I haven't seen one doing it on Monster Pro
That’s cut out territory for sherman, yes its possible but I wouldn’t say “safely”
4K.........!
yup that price is no joke! you can get quite a nice motorcycle with that much money!
bulbous and blobby, yeah that is exactly what looks like to me too. The EX is even worse.
This especially annoys me considering the care and attention the other EUC companies are putting into their product, Gotway who sells the most expensive wheel for some reason seems to pay the least amount of attention.
