Looks BIIIGG - like, wide!! Like a two-handed battle-axe of an EUC. Cool review. Like the Inmotion style trolley handle. Neat that it folds away flush.
Nice one mate. Wheels shell looks super nice. Love the LEDS. Being able to stow the handle like that is awesome. I see the wheel you were riding had rubber pads on. I guess it would be to slippy with out anything on the body. NIce video again mate. Keep them coming.
The Nikola has some of the brightest, if not the brightest, LEDs ive seen on an EUC. I question some of their decisions, but I respect gotway for their diversity of wheel designs.
@@KujiRolls Yeah those Leds are super bright. The Shells carry handle looks pretty chunky. Nice to see Gotway bringing some sleek style to there wheels. Excited to see how this turns out. Thanks again man.
I wonder if it really has the same MSX control board. This wheel has Bluetooth speakers and Gotway's newest app has a new function for setting different LED modes, which I assume was created for this new wheel. Great 'first look' video.
@@KujiRolls I would have loved to be there to ask all the "why's" for Gotway's strange design/manufacturing decisions. I don't suppose you were able to ask them why they reverted to smaller wires and MOSFETs?
@@KujiRolls sounds strange, never heard of msx or mcm5 blowing fets, but a few blowing acm2 and tesla fets, maybe theyre just getting rid of their stock :P
When I need cheering up or inspiration all I do is put a KUJI blog on and Boom💥 My Mojo is Back 😀😀😀 The lights are epic on the Nicola but I'm glad I waited and got the begode msp ht 100v 🤘
Thanks for the great video! Would you say the Nikola is looking to have the range of the kingsong 18xl with the speed, off road and fun aspects of the msuper x do best of both worlds? Thank you
@@KujiRolls so which would recommend - Gotway Nikola or Kingsong 18XL (I am a beginner EUC user though I do have a OneWheel)- does the 18XL still have more range over the Nikola? Thank you
So basically it's a slightly smaller wheel than the MSX which means more torque and less speed. Seems like a regular 30mph wheel. Any other differences apart from those unique LEDS?
Haha. Because toggling the headlight is a pain. It also toggles the side LEDs which means if you want to keep the side lights as they are AND turn off the LED, you gotta tap the power button 9 times.
Hello Kuji Rolls, I like ur videos and ur attitude, The Nikola it a sweet looking wheel, very tempting but like all new products ...bugs need to be worked out but until then I'll be catching ur videos and your commentary on the Nikola. BTW what's that full face helmet ur sporting?
@@KujiRolls thanks Kuji for the helmet info, yes it looks totally breathable & good looking, plus lighter colors are also cooler to wear in the sun! thx again kuji Ill be watching you 😎👍
Great video! I have two questions... because you have a direct communication with the company would you pass on or put a contact for the company? The other request if possible is to add to the app a “safety” switch that would allow the Gotway product to auto slow/pushback when it nears its top limit. I recently was riding with a helmet on and hit the top speed trying to get out of the way of a crazy driver and had it cut out at speed. I could not hear the warning beeps and/or was preoccupied trying to get out of the way and the auto pushback would have been very helpful in that situation. As a result I went down and details aside was injured pretty bad. In hindsight it would have been something I would have/ would use presently and would be a feature that could differentiate from other manufacturers. Just a thought.....
Ever wonder if those two are wondering why you got that huge helmet one? Don’t get me wrong. I’d wear a helmet too but those two look so nonchalant @2:30.
I still don’t understand how they could hav made(designed) the ACM TWO YEARS ago ...so compact and strong and now years later come out with a machine twice the size.....with a whole bunch of wasted space inside....its too bad cuz it has ALL the features i wanted......oh and i love ur reviews (tests) !
Hi Kuji, Sorry, perhaps you have see this post on Facebook. I currently have an MSX 84V 1600w. Problem, I drive 60% in the city and 40% in the wood. So, I'm not so sure that my MSX meet my needs. For information I measure 193m for 87kg rather long and thin. I have big feet too;) 46 in French size. Finally, I drive at maximum 43-45 km / h. I sometimes risk having to take it in transport. I am mainly looking for reactivity and the couple. I feel torn between these 3 wheels: Keep my MSX / take a Nikola Plus or take a Tesla V2. What do you think ? Thanks a lot ! :)
Now wich one to choose .. hmmmm KS16X or GW Nikola. ..same price, same tire width, same battery, both 16 inch and 2000 watt engine imo i think gotway win by the look and LED, but lose for the trolley and handle! Also headlight on KS is a little more bright for night cruise... are the effective range about the same? Pedal height seems a bit low too for the GW no?
I have the Tesla now and comparing it with the MSX is not far behind. To spend $2,200 for the MSX which is a little bit more than the Tesla is questionable. I’m going to make due with the Tesla for now and hope for an MSX+ to come out with in 2019.
I am a huge fan of the tesla for road riding. The only wish I have with it is higher pedals. The msx turns are amazing in comparison, but the responsiveness of the tesla is unmatched
@@KujiRolls Yup. Cornering is Tesla's Achilles heel - can't tilt over to our heart's content due to low pedals. Nikolas doesn't look much better. Having 2 wheels (Tesla & MSX) is the best we can do now - one for speed and corner, the other for acceleration and responsiveness.
Hello Kuji, I weight 235lb and my height is 6.33 ft . I want to buy a first new unicycle and was wondering buying this nikola plus 100v. But after this video I don't know anymore. What do you suggest. I don't want much speed. I will use to commute to office 5km distance. Inside city. will not use fast tracks. Please help me on this tough decision. Thanks . BTW .. congrats for the quality of your videos. All rox!
Can someone help me out here….. my Nikola be on full charge but every time it gets up to 33mph the alarm goes off. I got the speed alarms set to 37! What’s the deal!
Hey Kuji. You’re the man! I’m wondering honestly, how much damage was done to the transparent shell when you clipped the pedal and it went down???? Cause I’ve done the same thing on my inmotion and it cracked the shell . Are these more durable ? Thanks so much bro. You’re insight and opinions are always spot on and much appreciated.
Yo Lucas! The shell was fine, just a scratch or two. It really depends on how you crash, but my impression is that the Nikola housing is quite robust and will not crack easily. But then again if you crash it down a flight of stairs, you might prove me wrong.
damn dude - @5:00 is that you trashing someone else's brand new EUC !? rough. they were super chill about it. guess thats the benefit of smaller pedals? great review though.
Hola qué tal me gustan un montón tus vídeos tenía una v10f y la he vendido para comprarme una Nicola que me gusta mucho el diseño la de 84 W notaré la diferencia de potencia y de autonomía vale la pena o me espero y me compro la de 100 W muchas gracias de antemano
Bring back the ACMv2 Gotway ! Why would they make a version of a proven classic and improve it and then discontinue, makes no sense, just add a trolley handle to it and maybe some lights and you have a great wheel and compact in size.
..wow I just noticed this first Nikola test ride!! Isn’t this the original TO220 mosfet that everyone seem to be sensationalizing it about the hot glue that kills the ride! Now the latest Nikola with TO247 overkill it..oh well EUC is never safe when you start riding at the top end 80%..! I am happy with a cruise at 25km/h👍
I was complaining about how to toggle the headlights & rainbow side lights using the power button. The headlights and the side lights have 3 different settings (on, off, blinking). If you just want to turn off the headlights and keep the side light settings as is, you have to press the button 9 times. Id rather have the power button toggle only the headlights and move the side lights to the app.
like it.. I just see these companies challenging each other on more km / higher speed.. me and probably more than half of other drivers would love no more than 30km/h and something like 50km of autonomy that would fit most of users p. s. also cause that means not so heavy monowheel...
Watching the Nikola fail on overheat hill in a review has really put me off buying one.. the mosfets are not as big as other wheels therefore it cannot pull as many amps..
how about king song 18xl. i was thinking of buying it but then the msuper x has better acceleration and stopping more powerful but then a few people complain its too wide and hurts the calves. i have no idea what to get. it has to be a big wheel because i'm 200lbs.
All this talk over GOTWAY, and TESLA's unis and nothing said about the original one which is still NINEBOT... the technology patents have been replicated and because it's an overseas government, no patent laws apply. If I were the developers of NINEBOT, I would charge them for their US TH-cam feed profits.
Blocking button, for example. Anti-theft alarm. Personal Bluetooth unlock system. Mode, which fixes and blocks wheel so that I can lean it on wall in train, for example. Button for locking handle in several positions. Mudguard. Some kind of stand for situations if there is no object I can lean wheel on
Mud guard, continue improvements on control board, pedals, software, batteries and more powerful motor for speed and torque. 2018 had big wheel improvements, I would like to see what 2019 brings.
another Casey knockoff come on man be more creative. make it your own don't just copy Casey I know! you should shave the sides of YOUR HEAD:) lol good luck man. and I still feel my zbote kicks the crap out of all wheels. rock on Segway.....mmmm. didn't or. did. ninebote Segway????? no pun intended
Kuji you’re becoming a legend in the EUC world
Revisiting this classic. Loved the Nikola. Sold it in 2022. Always wanted to buy the Nikola AR bigger battery. More speed
@1:25 the record coming up to speed in sync w you pushing off is a very nice touch!
Awesome clip as always! I could easily watch this kind of content all day.
Your reviews are very good. 👍
Nice video, as always. One question - does it have a disable on lift feature (e.g. a button under the handle)? The handle does seem excessively wide!
Yeah, it has a little button underneath the center of the handle.
Kuji rides hard,I like that ;D

yeah its the same PCB except they swapped out the MOSFETs with old smaller ones and are using lighter gauge wiring to the motor.
@@KujiRolls I would have loved to be there to ask all the "why's" for Gotway's strange design/manufacturing decisions. I don't suppose you were able to ask them why they reverted to smaller wires and MOSFETs?
They said that it wasn't necessary to have the bigger fets and wiring... That's all I got.

Loud Bluetooth speakers. I got another video of the msx vs 18xl to give you an idea of what those can do.
Hilarious and insightful. Were they upset about the whole pedal clipping?
I think they were concerned for the prototype. They should have known that im an expert at crashing.
Hi I am not familiar with pedal clipping. When Kuji fell off of the Nikola, that was not because of tiltback, correct?
Koji knows how to get close with his audiences... I started to get bored watching euc review lately til this guy does it!
wow great video!!! when's this suppose to come out? love the LEDs
Eddie G. They said in May-ish
In the very beginning of the video, you say, "Noooo, whhhyyy?" Curious what you were referring to.
Haha. Because toggling the headlight is a pain. It also toggles the side LEDs which means if you want to keep the side lights as they are AND turn off the LED, you gotta tap the power button 9 times.

I can just ask Jane, but when is the ETA for this new wheel?
Gotway said March when I asked
It's now May-ish

Yes,17 inch is not a good size. And smaller MOS means the weaker climbing ability.
