      Good point, I forgot to mention that feature! Though sadly thieves will steal anything of value if they can sell it on craigslist. We had a woman in Oakland get her EUC stolen by a bunch of thugs, they pulled up, threatened her, and threw it in their car.

      @@laurasanchez7105 Well I learned my lesson. My pint x never leaves my side. Its a coastal socal town, and the house is over 3 million dollars zillow and one of the cheapest in the neighborhood, its on the border of 2 canyons that are both illegal to hike into unless your house border is and so off the beaten path even for being in a nice area, despite being populated socal its hard to grasp how rural it is and on top of that it was gated.
      I went inside at 130 am and ALMOST hopped off behind the outdoor kitchen island that would have put it out of view but just hopped off in the open view (still about 200 feet from the gate) went inside and passed out. I had onewheeled up to the view by my house 5 times between 10pm and 1am that night and was beat. Had a bad feeling tho. Then at 330 am woke up to the sound of them shutting the gate and immediately I realized what happened.
      So I scootered on my ninebot max up to the view nearby thinking they might be riding it there (3 min ride from my place), and as I get there I see a car pull up to my house. So I mob back down and they took my $1k lithium generator on round 2. I stupidly scootered in front of their car trying to stop them and they drove into me and ran off as I screamed "give me back my onewheel" super loud.
      Police report etc for the hit and run but lost my baby. Didn't really care about the generator just the OW. Lesson learned: don't allow any relatively easy opportunity for your stuff to get stolen. Sorry for longwinded story ahah live and learn

      Senjaya Xiera yeah, the Z10 is a beautiful machine, but many have problems with it. Avoiding that wheel would be a smart move. I’m liking the monster, but I think the Nikola is a better built wheel. The 16X could also be another option that has some similarities to the Z10.

      Personally I think that the Nikola has better battery configurations over the MSX, such as the 1845wh 100 volt package. The Nikola also has a USB port. Tried the 16X, it’s a fun wheel for sure. I think the 16x is a really well built wheel, but I personally like the higher performance of the Nikola.

    Hey Allan, great review. I have the msp pro high torque and the Tesla v2 with upgraded 1480 cells. I'm still a fairly new rider and unable to access the power of the pro. I feel more confident on my v2 however being 6'2" and 230 lbs, I feel it's a bit small for me. I've always admired the look of the Nickola but is there enough difference from the rest to justify this purchase? The slanted pedals on the pro make for an uncomfortable ride. Any thoughts?

    • @AlienRides

I'm getting mine tomorrow as replacement for my old one and another one in 2 weeks.. both without batteries.. in fact your were on the same plane just me and Dima in NYC are on East coast, hence the delay.. on the one that comes in 2 weeks I'm putting custom battery in around 3000WaH but the new shell inside especially where the speakers are is not allowing me to go 24s8p.. Remember to check on the mosfets as I asked you on FB.. check if the residue glue issue is gone.. check if they are tight enough.. get some hydrophobic cloth between the speakers and then hole as it's wide open.. if you ride in rain.. that applies for both Nicola and Monster.. they have protection on speakers but their are sort of paper made.. I tested the Nicola about 3 months ago and the test unit had some issues.. we have one coming this Wednesday for a newbie so will be fun.. .come to NYC and lets ride..

      Nice. Thanks for the quick response. So I have the nikola 84 v and I love it. It’s an amazing machine. I put around 20 miles on it a day minimum. My thing is that I’ve gotten so comfy on it I am constantly at max speed. I’m riding the beep in traffic and I am wondering if the top speed is enough of a upgrade to be worth it. I feel like if I could go 60 km/h It’d be perfect. Also the way I ride I’m only getting about 28 -30 miles per charge so I’d like to see 40+ out of it if I were to go with the upgrade... my wife lives my nikola. So if I decide it’s enough of an upgrade I’ll give my 84v to my wife and I’ll ride the 100v. I just love the way the nikola rides it’s so powerful and so smooth. So responsive but also pretty damn stable. I think the only two wheels that are faster are the monster 100v and the msx100v. I haven’t ridden either of these but I hear the nikola is the most responsive/torquey of all the major wheels. And have I mentioned I love it. Lol So.. what you think ? Also. I’d love to see a comparison of versions. Ie; 84v monster/. 199v monster v3.... 84v nikolav1./ 100 v nikola plus. So on.. just a thought. To let peeps like me who are wondering if an upgrade is worth it.

    • @AlienRides
      @AlienRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lucas skywheeler spot on, I think your analysis is correct around the MSX/Monster being faster. I’d love to compare all of them, but it would be a lot of guessing since I don’t have them all. In this case if your lady likes the Nikola and you have an excuse to pickup a 100v Nikola, it sounds like it could be the perfect opportunity! 😬 But also if you are cruising that long every day, the Monster might be the way to go since it’s so smooth. A monster and Nikola could be a good complementary pair of wheels to own, then you have the choice of what to take out when solo.

    Nice vid man. About to become a new EUC rider in the. Ext few weeks. Either a KS16X or a GW Nikola + (or even regular Nikola). Though is the extra $$ worth the Nikola+? The KS16X is supposed to have a 2200 watt motor, did the increase the power in the Nikola+ in addition to the footage and battery

    • @AlienRides
      @AlienRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad to have you aboard the EUC train, they are awesome vehicles! I think any of those options would be totally fine TBH, but personally I'd go with the Nikola+ if you can swing it. Best wheel I've ever ridden. I haven't ridden the KS16X, but I have heard it has some problems. Maybe I can get a demo unit in the future and do a comparison.
      Definitely pad it up if you're a new rider though, even just bubble wrap or a yoga mat with tape around it could work. Your first one is going to take a bit of a beating as you learn on it.

    • @AlienRides
      @AlienRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! They weigh similarly as they are both heavier, but the Monster is definitely heavier than the Nikola. Can't believe I forgot to add the weight in the video, but I'll do it in the next one. I think the video covers most of the differences, but ride comfort is the main difference. The Monster is super smooth due to the large tire, but the Nikola has more torque and instant power because of the smaller tire. Both are really awesome wheels!

    • @PowderyPimpSmack
      @PowderyPimpSmack 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@AlienRides Sorry I was asking specifically about the differences between the Nikola 84v and 100v. Could you elaborate a little more on the differences between the Nikola 84v and 100v? Someone asked a similar question earlier and you mentioned maybe a 10% boost at the lower end torque. I've ordered the 84v and not really looking to max out top speed on the wheel. I'm just considering whether the 100v is worth the extra $550 from ewheels. In my opinion, the extra half grand doesn't seem justifiable for slightly more lower end torque, which is really the only thing that would affect my riding as again, I don't foresee myself maxing out the top speed, or getting anywhere near the 32 mph+ on the 84v lol. I don't want to die! Any input on the decision between the Nikola 84v and 100v would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks again Alien Rides!

    • @AlienRides
      @AlienRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      PowderyPimpSmack ahhh, yeah you were clear I just didn’t read properly 😅 the weight of the 100 volt will be heavier for sure, I don’t have exact numbers, but I’ll try to get those, a few pounds heavier I would imagine. For performance, it’s subjective, but it felt about a 10% increase across the curve, including acceleration, hill climbing, and top-end speed. If you aren’t a speed demon or care about maxing it out, then I think the 84 volt version is totally fine. Many of my friends have that wheel and love it.

      That’s funny. I’ve read feedback from NYC guys talking about how much superior our group rides are. Hills are fun. Try it out

      lol, thanks for proving we're cooler Kenny, don't worry, we knew. It was meant light hearted but of course.. Cars are also fun, try them out!
