    Congrats on getting the Extreme. I suspect that’s my next wheel as well as I almost cutout my T4 the other day. Just waiting for the 50S version to be readily available. BTW you inspired me to ride my MSX100v again and what a blast. I think I’ll be keeping that one forever! Don’t get rid of that Nikola!

    • @PurpleRider
      @PurpleRider  10 місяців тому

      Great to hear this! IT is amazing to feel the difference between the wheels. I'm keeping the Nikola+ for sure. Hopefully one day, they come out with a new ultra-powerful non-suspension wheel with LEDs and a speaker! I am riding the Extreme and will continue practicing to gain skills.

  • @eucnier
    @eucnier 10 місяців тому +6

    It's true that the Nikola accelerates faster at lower speeds, it's like 17lbs lighter than the extreme and has a lower center of gravity, but trust me once you get used to this wheel you'll appreciate how much torque it still has when you get close to 30mph. The older 16" 84v wheels are really fun to accelerate from 0-20mph, but these new high voltage suspension wheels are really fun to accelerate between 20mph-35mph, that's where they really shine 😁
    Take your time to get used to it, have a blast! I also suggest riding on hard mode and setting the pedals to -4 degrees, that will not only give you more instant torque, but also provide more of an angle to lean against when you brake. (I think with begode wheels you can't set a negative tilt in the app and will have to recalibrate with the wheel tilted forwards using a measuring tool)
    Oh yeah and definitely practice hard braking by squatting low and leaning way back, this wheel can handle it easily.

    • @PurpleRider
      @PurpleRider  10 місяців тому

      Yea I think you're right for the most part. It reminds me of when I upgraded from my e-scooter Vsett 9+ to Vsett 10+ as the 9+ had amazing torque for acceleration, while Vsett 10+ felt sluggish comparatively, until you get to 20mph+ and then the heavier more powerful vehicle really shines.
      It is going to take some getting used to, although it does give me more appreciation for how the Nikola behaves too. I'm going to practice with more settings for the pedals, turning, and maybe calibration soon. It's gotten super cold lately (below 20f), so not ideal but I'm going to probably get out for a ride tomorrow.
      Agreed on the hard braking. I get a lot of people asking how the EUC brakes or how fast it can brake so I want to show the power -- and with the Begode Extreme I won't be afraid to brake super hard because it can handle it.

    Facts, when you live in the city, you have to ride what you can ride and that's basically with cars all the time. It does make you a little less aggressive, like you said, but we do have to keep it at a minimum. I love how some people do give us a little more respect, but I wonder if it's more curiosity because they want to do it too. Lol, trust me, I get some crazy looks around here. Lol, you can even see the cops trying to figure it out. Lol, bro your food analogies are awesome!

      Fair enough. That's one reason I am keeping my Nikola+ because I also like the wheel so much. A lot of people unscrew the Begode Extreme pads and put their own on -- that's something I will do in the future most likely. Thanks for the warm wishes!
