Order your Begode Falcon here: eevees.com/pro... The Begode Falcon has been an absolute blast to ride. This lil' wheel packs a lot of punch! Find out Gabe and Bradley's thoughts by tuning in.
i cannot imagine what euc’s will be capable of doing in just a couple of years. in the past two years euc’s have come so far, so fast. its extremely exciting to watch, and participate in this great community experience. my lynx arrives in two weeks (approximately), and i can see that i will likely have a small, medium or possibly large collection of euc’s, quite quickly.
I've been riding since 2017. It's crazy that 25 mph (40 kph) used to be a respectable top speed. And now we have EUCs that are hitting 70 mph (113 kph).
I had a very, very bad 1.5 months of ownership with the S16 Pro back in April-May. BMS errors every week, Software anomalies between the wheel's screen and the app, suspension linkage rubbing and flat tire tubes- and for the battery capacity specs the range was horrible compared to my workhorse 18XL. Sold it for a few hundred bucks and ordered the Falcon immediately. For my use the Falcon, right out of the box, has felt much better in total weight, maneuverability and reliability 1 week in. Charges +80% in 1 hour with the stock 5A charger, ~7kg weight difference is massive, and with a battery 3/5 the size of the S16P, I've gotten equivalent 40km range from full charge down to 25%. Much happier with this wheel, and the direction overall that Begode has been going with their small offerings.
idk what it is about kingsong wheels its like their Wh size has been going up but the range has been going down, whatever theyre doing with their firmware is something cracked. Glad to hear the Falcon has been nice and reliable for you! Begode has really come a long long way
I am happy to read your comment even if it does not surprise me. As soon as the S16 came out when I saw its weight and its plastics...when I saw the first test done by Marty where after not even an hour of testing the plastic bumper broke...frankly I quickly understood that it was another stupid wheel from KingSong, not to mention their absurd system of casters for the suspension... in short at that time Begode released its prototype of the Falcon and since then I haven't stopped saying not to buy the S16 and wait for the Falcon because it would be much more efficient and I was right! Since its release, the Falcon has had the success expected of a compact wheel! It's time to thank BEGODE for being the only ones to make a compact, reliable, robust wheel with enough performance to have fun on all terrains!
The background setting is choice - Canada has its charms! Loved that test on the hill w/ roots and some sandyness = very cool ! Ive got my eye on this for my possible first euv!
I really want to get into the EUC hobby and can't for the life of me decide what to start with because I want to buy something that will last me, that once I learn it I won't be outgrow what I buy so quickly then here came the Falcon..I love rhe look ans it seems manageable to learn on but enough umph to last a while. What do you think. Oh and it won't break the bank either. It's costly enough to make me commit to learning it but not so costly to.keep me from buying it. Your opinion and anyone else's reading this. Thank you.
I think this wheel would be an absolutely perfect pick for you based on what you described. My first wheel was an Inmotion V12HT but it has no suspension and I'm 59 years old so you gotta be careful hitting large bumps. I moved right up to a Lynx and I absolutely love it. But if I had to go back in time this would absolutely be my first wheel. You will probably never outgrow it. You will only add to your collection as your budget allows. My only joke is that ever since I got into EUC's my mountain bike and other toys have been giving me dirty looks. 😂
Wonder what the prices would be without the dealership model. Back in the day an EXN before freight was like 1350 and selling for 3k in the usa; it was wild, so people just did groupbuys. Gotway turned to begode, and dropped the groupbuy model, so... Now we're in this weird spot where things cost a shedload when they'd be affordable for most people if not for it. It bums me out to think about, it's such a fun sport and way more people could get into it if it weren't a ~100% markup
No company is making a 100% markup in this industry and profit margins are very thin at the end of the day. In almost every industry, there are MSRPs and people can only buy products from a legitimate dealer. There's liability insurance (because Americans love to sue) that is quite expensive, employee costs, rent, the cost of producing these videos, etc.
It's nice to finally see an intelligent wheller who uses a cross tire to go off-road. Thank you for setting an example! :-) And it would also be good to remember that on this small wheel it is much more interesting to have a cross tire also for stability at high speeds. Since this wheel came out I don't understand why it wasn't sold from the start with a cross tire. Also remember that this wheel is not suitable for tall people, we must stop testing the Falcon with sizes over 1.85m... it is as absurd as an adult testing a bicycle child...
How is the knobby on the pavement? My riding will be pretty much 50/50. Also, I'm an old man who's an overweight newbie and never even seen one in person before. I'm saving up and this seems the best wheel for me.
The construction of the Falcon seems to be a move in the right direction, but I would love to know: how is the slider alignment and stiction? Alignment was a huge issue on my S18, S22, and Master, when I had them. Always drove me nuts, needing to shim and faff around trying to get the suspension moving like it should. The Falcon really looks like it could be the wheel I've been waiting for =)
Mine was squeaky and it sounded kind of hinky but I lubricated it and it is good and pretty damn impressive for a $1600 wheel. It is zippy and Pepe and I have been taking it on some really steep rocky trails and it's a blast because you can just flick it around.
Can you comment on the street or knobby tires? It seemed gabe was using knobby tire. Can he run through same course with street tire? (Curious if the street tire could go off road and up that 90 dregree incline at the end of the video) but gabes got skillz so maybe the tire wouldnt make a difference 😅
I’m going to make a video comparing the two when we get a street tire unit in! As for that hill, I’d be able to make it up, but only relying on more speed and not traction.
I bought one from ewheels. I don't have any real complaints except the crappy metal used for the screw hardware, and the trolly handle concept is terrible and very prone to damage which leads to misfunction of the locking mechanism, the cheap metal also bends the handle very easily. I wish these companies would use a telescopic trolly handle embedded in the wheel. Since the battery cells are normally around 3/4" wide there is plenty of room and extra batteries is not a valid excuse. I would rather have a wheel 1 to 2 inches longer (50mm) with a better trolly handle. I'm not going to notice an increase in depth that miniscule. All EUC's are basically great now as far as electrically based specs are concerned. Now they just need to start using a good trolly handle design.
do you recommend the falcon or the T4 for someone who is entirely new to EUCs? the T4 is about 300 dollars more in canada where im at, i like the lighter weight of the falcon but the t4 has twice the range, any ideas?
Less Range than my V10F but looks cooler and suspension makes me want to honestly want to consider selling my V10F and picking this up if the price drops to like maybe 1600-1800 CAD .Wonder how the MTEN5 is gonna compare to this besides not having suspension 11:33
Nice to see some smaller, lighter, cheaper suspension wheels. Around town at night, the suspension is most useful for unexpected potholes. What happened to the other reviewer? Mr. tall, skinny, high energy.
I think now the MTen5 is going to blow this way. If the MTen5 had suspension then I would absolutely chose that over this. Still will chose that over this actually.
Safe to say you're wrong! And you could probably play with the Settings a bit and get it dialed in even more. I don't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me but it looks like that guy was having a great time on the jumps! Don't be Such a Scrooge! 😂😂😂
@@boblatkey7160 He was riding the beeps despite the cutoffs that kept happing and then stopped. He did have fun but notice his jumps slowed down in the video, he really couldn't jump with the wheel due to it cutting off. But to be real, this is not a trail wheel, it's not a jumping wheel, it wasn't intended for that anyways, it's a street wheel that's meant for short trips to like the store or whatever. To try and use it for what he was using it for was actually not good. Begode themselves doesn't market the Falcon for this.
Hi Bradley 🙂
Good to see you, and thanks for the shout-out. It is really a fun wheel with a surprisingly good suspension
Yo bredda
Cheers Marty! We miss youuuu
Looks dope. Wish i could afford a new wheel 😂
Hope Lucas comes back someday too
He's got a new company he's running but he might pop by from time to time for a cameo. Here's his new company: www.theniceagency.co/
@@eevees what???? I didn't know Lucas was a nerd... hopefully he wakes up and realizes that PEVs are way more fun than "optimizing the internet"
@@eevees That is sad... We will miss him.

I feel like I'm gonna gut my S22 at some point and just fill it with a different motor/controller.

May I ask how much do you weight? I'm thinking about my first wheel, but I'm afraid, that with my 85-88 kg (190-195 lbs) I won't get decent range.
Awesome video as always! Thanks for doing it.

Kinda gives me MCM5 with suspension vibes. MCM5 was my first wheel and I STILL main it because it's so light, nimble, and convenient.
Im going to buy one for each family member 👍
It really is the perfect wheel for everyone in the family
It's a very fun wheel! I enjoy it a lot🎉 great video!

Very impressive performance for the price point.
Did you turn the tiltback option OFF in the software while riding the jump track????
IF not, please try again with it OFF!
I’ll try that as soon as I can!

Great !
He would have made that landing if he had a cape on
So true
Is it water resistant ? Water proof ? Can u ride it in the rain ???
Yes very

I would 100% buy it if i could remove the batteries easily like the v14, so that i could fly with it.
Airlines still won't let you carry the battery packs since it's over the limit though, right?
@@EVILyangkuang yeah, that's why I'd have to take them out. To ship them separately, ahead of time, to my hotel.
