Hey chooch can you do a video on safely falling on the euc? Your probably the only person on TH-cam who knows how to safely fall on a euc.
I have fallen going 35 mph, imo best thing to do is tuck your arms in under your chin with a fist. no one wants to break any fingers or you break an arm/wrist falling. it also helps get less whiplash by keeping pressure under your chin. if you're going 20 mph or under you maybe able to roll out of it otherwise id say slide out when you hit. high speed rolling out causes extra damage.
wear all the gear all the time!
I dont know about the - Roger falls alot 🤣
Crashed at 35 with just jeans and long sleeve on... I slid on 1 cheek then popped up on the other until it got hot lol... Got a nice scar on my right calf but I got off easy... I happened to have a pair of wrangler jeans on and they held up
Bought a Fakcon !!! Its my first euc, first euc ive ever even seen in person !!! Im 50 miles in after needing a few weeks to initially learn but now its superpower unlocked !!! Im not even for sure if i will ever even need a "bigger" wheel like the lynx; im just excited about the future progression of wheels of this size and concept.
I am exactly of the same opinion as you and I honestly think that this kind of wheel could be a standard size for competitive freeriding at the same level as skateboarders, BMXs, trotters...A wheel not for hiking but for fiery young people who want dynamism and fun with a lot of robustness! Long live the Falcon! Long live the smart start of freeride and freestyle in the EUC world!
i have also never ridden an euc and thinking of getting falcon, but where im at a t4 or kingsong s19 is only 300 dollars more, do you still recommend getting the falcon?
@@lotusroot4087 So I understand you and my first big advice would already be to forget Inmotion and Kingsong, the S19 is not ergonomic and expensive for what it is...a lot of plastic and too bulky. I totally agree, however, with your hesitation with the T4 because I myself hesitated for a long time between the two, the T4 is slightly more efficient, particularly in autonomy..on the other hand, much heavier and less robust than the Falcon Falcon. .the T4 deserves a real facelift because it is part of the end of the Begode not very robust..I took the Falcon because even if it is slightly less efficient it is much more fun, dynamic, robust and compact! And I have no regrets. It is one of the last truly reliable BEGODE with the EXTREME the ET MAX and the new BLITZ.
@@ElieSentinas thanks, one of my biggest fear with the falcon is the range is quite small
@@lotusroot4087 most fun ive ever had riding anything
Yeah man, range test would be awesome! This little thing seems like awesome for city commuting
This is what I've been recommending to people as a first EUC - small enough to handle, big enough to go over a few rocks, fast charging, enough power to go up hills, nice suspension travel and pedal height for a smaller wheel; it will be a while before beginners grow out of it and it's a great "errand" wheel for all levels of experience - it will also pull big people around pretty nicely, again, lots of power in a medium sized package.
I agree that this is the perfect entry level wheel especially with a knobby tyre since it just screams offroad to me. It has everything out of the box, but I would love to see the next iteration getting a thicker axle, like hollow bore.
I do NOT agree that this is priced right though. It should be $1000 since you can get a T4 Pro for $1400 now, so it makes no sense that this wheel should costs more. Also it only have half the battery of the T4. And $1000 is a magic number when you want people to buy into a new hobby.
Do not trust the Wh figures, the real autonomy of the Falcon is around 50Km compared to around 75-80km for a T4. Above all, you forget that the T4 is much heavier than the Falcon and therefore consumes more energy and battery, hence the autonomy... Moreover, the Falcon is much more compact and that is normal. They are two different wheels but it is normal that the price is identical.
Few questions Chooch!
1. Speed wobble on knobby: Some reviewers are saying that the falcon drives wobbly on a street tire but stable on knobby. Do you feel any wobble on knobby on the street at high speed?
2. Which one is more fun for you, Mten4 or Falcon?
3. How is padding on falcon for you? Some are saying it's so uncomfortable that the third party padding is a must.
I really really enjoy your content! Cant wait to see you riding that on the street hitting high speed!
your commentary is the best
Definitely want to see more of this wheel
More falcon content please 🙏. I’m very intrigued by this little beast. Looks like so much fun for the price. Was considering a v12 pro, an s16, pro or even a v11y for a first wheel but a commander pro fell into my lap. Now I’m looking for a littler fun wheel to learn on and whip around while I get better on this behemoth Cpro.
Thanks in advance Chooch 🙏
@@jontaba80 will do, I got some good video I need to edit. Ill make about a 10 minute video showing some of the rides I have done on it. I am going next week to a sweet spot to ride the falcon. I'll get some great footage hopefully. It a blast for the price. I think it is for sure worth getting it.
@@choochtech thanks Chooch! Looking forward to the awesome videos. Good stuff bro, thank you 🙏
Just got done fabricating some fairings to allow a little bit more torque from the power knobz setup I have on my falcon. This is my first wheel, and I am absolutely loving it so far.
Thanks for the great video Chooch, I would love to see a range test!
We want to see another video of you riding in the city in your suit & tie. Remember when you did that on the 16X? One of the best EUC videos of all time.
not everyone like the pads :). Nice to see you again chooch been a while.
Yes, I think everyone else didn't like pads. Chooch is a small fella 🤣
We bought ours from eWheels and took it to Ridgeline open space on a rainy day and unfortunately the mud built up on the wheel and seized it up.
Prior to that it was a fun wheel.
Thanks for dropping the vid Chooch.
I am still keeping an eye out for you downtown or on the Cherry Creek path.
Later where you able to remove the mud and get the falcon back in working order?
@@arcflash2053 Unfortunately no. Mud was forced into the housing and its dead.
I want one! Probably going to wait till spring though. Not doing much riding thought winter...
winter riding is great. No crowds, no karens, snow is fun to ride in and all the gear is very warm. Winter riding is my favorite time of year to ride.
@@choochtech That does sounds great. Here, winter is just very wet. Doesn't get cold enough to freeze the the ground so everything turns to mud. By new year it will be deep enough that you risk a wheel disappearing under and never being seen again 😬
Thanks for the tests!, hope you get to review the Blitz too, I'm interested on your take on it!
Your content is top notch man! Been waiting for a v14 video, you think you'll ever get one? Maybe a batch 2? I just figured you'd be all over that already lol. Keep up the awesome uploads! Stay safe
Please do a range test, id love to know how far I could go on one realistically. I'm about to invest and finnaly get a wheel and this one could be it! Love your videos!!
Yes, I'd love to see more content on this wheel and how it does around town. I have a friend that wants to learn and I think it would be perfect for her. She's looking for a decent commuter wheel that she can take on public transit and plus have a little fun as well.
Looking back, you were the first to do a real test of the T4 in September 2022, unfortunately it was a first batch and you had pushed it too much compared to its capabilities that we know today.. .I think that today you could give us a real comparative test with a last batch of T4 in 50s and knobby tire. I am convinced that you would have a different vision of the T4 and that the comparison with the Falcon could be great!
My Falcon is coming soon. I ordered it with streettire and heavy springs. I will adjust the suspension to be stiffer.
It will be great as a small streetwheel for lower speeds. At 15 inch and 100V, the torque should be comparable with the X-Men HT.
Can’t wait for the next video. I am going to order one. Any discount code for shipping etc?
I'm in Denver with the Street tire if you ever wanna give it a try.
Some World-class riding right there, friend. Very well done. Watching the shocks eat up all those rocks and boulders in the dirt was impressive. Well-protected, informative, narrated great. You touched everything...except... (personal) What tire pressure were you running on those trails? Will you adjust it for when you do your street/road tests?
Finally a light wheel.
Jumping, I’m curious about the strength of the axle and what max rider weight could jump this on a Bike park Small or Medium dirt jump line? Take it to Ruby Hill or Broomfield bike park.
Best euc ever
glad you got one to check out
I picked up a falcon as my first wheel and having fun learning, but i'm experiencing quite a bit of disconcerting knee pain right now that I'm not sure how to deal with.
Yo cooch you will removing the original pads for your own setup and it's worth doing. Love this tiny wheel...
Good reivew👍
Waiting for Ver3
Why
@@linotaffoni2820
Hoping they put in a BMS, and any other upgrades that might usually come per Begodes usual fixes with version updates.
Cheers
best euc youtuber, im CO bias
hey man, thanks for making a video about a smaller wheel. Something I would like to see is if it can make it up a 35 degreee incline, thanks
THIS is the wheel that I've been waiting for! Hey brother, I would love to see how this takes on a skatepark. what is the practical distance? can i commute to work with this wheel?
Around 50km at around 25km/h on average for a 70kg man
I've had mine a couple mos and love it! I am not a fan of the pads though I put on some Clark Extreme foam
Those are sweet! I am going to put the c3 Kongs on it and those orange clark pedals soon. Think it will be epic. But stock it is pretty good. Im impressed. Cheers!
clark pads are ridiculously overpriced. most of them over $200 cad lol get real
The best thing to do is to shape the original pads and cut them cleanly and you will be totally satisfied and you won't need to spend $200 for two big pieces of velcro rubber. Or get "BEIDOU PADS" 100$.
Okay, listen, just two words: Kingsong S18.
Better in nearly everything: cheaper, much more lighter, better suspension system (imho), better range on 1 charge, better looking and it is 18" in diameter which is much better for city than 14". If you put knobby tire like the CST 2.75-14 - it is super cool offroad
Send me a link where its cheaper. I feel like you're lying to compensate your package size
Just in a few words stop being frustrated with your old, outdated S18. The falcon is MUCH better! Your S18 is plastic that squeaks so normal that the parts are light LOOOL and an 18 inch wheel is much too bulky for a wheel that rolls so slowly... in short, go home with your S18... you tell me make you laugh! Falcon users will laugh at you! kiss
I have both, and the S18 is a better street wheel, and the Falcon is a better trail wheel. To me, the higher pedals, and smaller tire on the Falcon make it more nimble in tight spaces and the hill climbing power is awesome. The S18 handles long carves better, highly customizable suspension, narrower stance, and is easier to ride seated. Similar top speeds and weight, but totally different wheels.
@@looty_thejackrussell Which one has better acceleration?
My concern is that it looks like the trolly doubles as a front handle and the latch coming unhinged when using it for braking or grabbing it for stability.
My Question For My First EUC Should I Buy The New Begode MTen5 Or The Begode Falcon. I Heard The Falcon Street Tire Sucks Because The Groves In The Tire Pull The Driver In A Certain Direction. Thus Making Riding The Falcon With Street Tires Awkward.
How does the headlight work? Is it as bright as the m10?
much brighter than the M10, works good Falcon is a fun wheel
ever since watching your videos i actually have a dream where i own a EUC but something is wrong with it that i cant use it, and the thought of it always pops up in my dreams but i dont even know where i put it at and then i realize i never owned one in the first place lmao.
Is this a good EUC for a beginner? Are the pads decent?
Dude I did it. Bought a used v11 with 72 miles. Spent 1 hour on carpet behind couch and today went outside mounted it and rode on third try and now cruisinng all around even catching some air off little jump. I do have issues I tthink. Im getting a wobble, dont know if its cause Im a newbie or something lse. Seems to be worse if my legs are pressing in on wheel. IM 200 pounds, using 120psi on bottom, 50 on top with 40 psi in tire.
Hey, I'm looking for some long-range wheel in the price range from 2000 - 3500$ to replace my old dying inmotion v8. Do you have any recommendations on which wheel I should grab? It needs to have a suspension and really good battery, as I do food deliveries within the city.
There is this dude selling his new S22 pro for 2000$ as he beat shit out of himself on the wheel, would you go for it?
Do not get the s22 or any kingsong wheel. Get the Lynx, Et max, the blitz, v13, sherman L, Sherman S.
I like the ET max and the lynx. Really can not go wrong with either one.
@@choochtech thanks bro
Hi chooch, I mentioned you in my latest video (pioneer camping), since I mentioned you I felt you should know and view if you like. Retired Guy’s Journal. I’ve over the years learned some nice pointers from you.
Is it necessary for the helmet to have glass? Can I have an open helmet, is it like riding in sunglasses? Can you tell me how this wheel turns at speed?
Begode nice
I know what I’m buying with my Christmas money.
What’s the difference between this and the T4?
Hi, I'm from Europe. Where can I compare model variants and where do I get technical support (in case)? Do I have to order in the U.S.? What about street legal laws? 25 km/h is real slow..
Hey Cooch, love your reviews! I currently own a V11 and have really enjoyed it, but I recently moved to Texas and am looking for something faster for my commute. My one-way ride to work is about 6 miles, and I'd love to get there as quickly as possible. I expect most of my riding will be on the road, but I’ll also do some off-roading.
I've been eyeing the V13, but I'm concerned about a few things. I've heard about potential speed wobbles in turns, and the weight might be an issue, especially when maneuvering. Also, I’m 6'2" and 240 pounds, so the height of the pedals on the V13 feels a bit off for me. If that's something I just have to deal with, I will, but I’m also considering Begode wheels.
Any advice on whether the V13 is the right choice for me, or if there’s a Begode model that might suit my needs better? Thanks in advance for your help!
Very coll wheel
Chooch, your videos is cool, I really like your content. Keep it doing. I have one question, where did you bought your Red&Gray jacket you wearing in videos of Lynx? I would like to get one since those two colours are my fav. Thanks 😊
Possible upgrade from v12 ht?
Kingsong s16x rival , make for range /price.
we have 2 falcons and want to add a 3rd. with your experience what would you recommend ? extreme, patton, lynx, t4 pro or ??
Hi Chooch. What's the max GPS speed you achieved on the Falcon? I'm struggling to find a Falcon GPS speed test. Thanks.
Does it come in orange?
Lol
What trail is this?
Does it weigh more or less than a V12?
Yes, it’s a little lighter and smaller than the v12. Fun wheel. Out and about on it now.
@@choochtech Sounds like my next wheel haha
hello , do u accept the edc tools cooperation ?
Begode Falcon VS S16....which one more rigid, bigger power, better ride, predictable...?
The Falcon is more robust and responsive. The S16 will be just a little more comfortable when raised but it has slower acceleration because it is much heavier and its higher power is not well exploited by a lower voltage of 84V. Brief. Take the Falcon, it's the best choice and if you ask the question of autonomy, it's barely less than the S16. Retain around 50km for an average speed of 25km/h and a man weighing 70-75Kg which is sufficient for a wheel that is not intended for hiking.
Have you adjusted the shocks yet?
Hey Chooch. I'm relatively new on the scene but have been doing electric skateboards for a number of years, came from downhill longboarding. Recently after trying to do a full esk8 rebuild, I sort of realized how hard it is to get those things to sustain 45mph for a long time without spending insane money. It led me here. I just want to be able to throw on my leathers and sustain 50+mph and go down nice long roads. Not looking to do any racing, or much offroad. Just highspeed cruising with my leathers on. Do you have anything you'd recommend for this usecase?
The Et max, is what you are looking for. It’s at a great price too. Top specs, it flys!!
@@choochtech thanks man! Love your videos by the way you are a real ripper
@@choochtech I had my eye on the Veteran Abrams, as it is on a really good sale in my local area (50% off) read mixed things about it. Would you recommend this wheel?
@@R1C4RD0R3D15 abrams is the worst electric unicycle I have ever rode. The geometry of how it is weighted and how it rides is absolutely horendous. The brams is known as Leaperkims worst wheel.
It gets crazy bad wobbles and the top part is wider than the bottom, making your legs bow out oddly. It is the most uncomfortable worst wheel I have ever rode. I am glad you asked about it. Do not buy the abrams trust me.
@@choochtech Holy smokes alright, I guess that is why it is on sale for so much. Thanks for the warning Chooch, all the best. I am very new in this space and have never owned an EUC before. Been building Esk8 for the past 3 years, just now getting into EUC. Really appreciate how active and informative the community has been so far!
On average how far ahead do you look when riding fast on a trail?
We need a Range test!!!
About half of a T4 since it has half the battery.
Still more than enough for most people.
@@JonahOnEUC It doesn't work like that. Different weight, different power, different mileage.
@@Sn1vel You are right and smart thank you!
@@JonahOnEUC Wrong
Do not trust the Wh figures, the real autonomy of the Falcon is around 50Km compared to around 75-80km for a T4. Above all, you forget that the T4 is much heavier than the Falcon and therefore consumes more energy and battery, hence the autonomy... Moreover, the Falcon is much more compact. Around 50km at around 25km/h on average for a 70kg man.
Can you please post a link for your Knee Guard
Cool wheel but battery size is too small for my liking.
At what speed does the beep come up?
Link the foot pedals
The pads suck. So uncomfortable against my shins. Very zippy though. With new pads very nice little wheel.
The price is as much as the v12 with less of a battery pack and lack speed ..if u can find it aftermarket fr 700 to 500 than yeah thats a deal ..lol
Even at $2000 I would still much prefer the FALCON to the V12! Inmotion and Kingsong are just absurd marketing toys.
Slow down in pedestrian areas. Think of the family or kid that can come out randomly and not having time to react. Thanks.
Watch your mouth
@@Relectic Why?
I think that the price point is way too high
That was my initial take but for there really isn't something comparable for cheaper.
one could "justify" it comparing it a A2 or Mten5 with: 1) suspension 2) fast charger 3) slightly bigger battery 4) power pads.
Nice wheel forr skinny small riders... if only.... Inmotion made it.. xD no Begoode... (to dangerus to keep and drive in my opinion) Thx for a vid , cheers !
I already have like 500 miles on mine and it's been flawless. Super fun little wheel.
Did you fall asleep? BEGODE has been making real quality for over a year, since the arrival of the EXTREME and then the Falcon. It's long over "bad quality BEGODE" wake up! And users all say it without exception, so find out wisely next time. Forget Inmotion and KingSong.
Hey bud I got some questions for this hobby. IM 55 and athletic, come from a skiing and motocross background I was going to do this unicycle thing because its snew and its a risky hobby which makes it interesting. I was looking to go the emoto way but Ive done that. Everyone is saying itts too dangerous att your age!!! Im still in good shape and still ride light moto and street sport bikes. THis thing you do with these machines looks so adrenaline packed and fun. I dont start small. I would want to start on a bigger bettter wheel that I can grow into. I was kinda looking at this falcon wheel and s22 or e30 for my initial start.
