It's telling when a man who has ridden or owned the best wheels on the market can hop on a new wheel and still have an emotional experience. Thanks for sharing Marty. Always appreciate your insight. We can tell you had a blast! Seems like an incredible wheel.
Wow that knobby tire really screams! At least people can hear you coming. When I ride along the beach on my 18XL people rarely hear me behind them unless I play some music. I'll have to try that LA river path one day.
What a fun ride! That's a noisy Nobby! Marty, you just keep me in want of another new wheel. Of all wheels you've tested, this one leaves you almost speechless. Your physical emotion is quite profound. Wheel revelation! I used to cycle tour, recumbent bicycle, a few decades ago. I loved it. Especially long tours. This wheel seems made for it. I have watched videos of a tour of the Himalayas, ~5000 km, ridden on a 84v Nikola. The tour vistas were stunning. Even a stop near a Mt. Everest base camp. Voyaging on a wheel. What an adventure. Anyway, I'm looking forward to more in-depth videos on the Sherman. Thanks Marty. Peace from Maine...Guy
Man, I know what you mean about getting emotional... that feeling of being FREEEEE!!! Just watching you cruise makes me wanna get back on a bike, with a nice playlist and then go on a long trip with no destination..... I want our wonderful open world back!!! 🌎 eyes open, no fear, be safe everyone! ✌️ ❤️
Glad to hear your reaction at the end about how "Life is Good". I wish I was 40 years younger so I could learn to ride those things. Well done young man. What I am amazed at is how your legs withstood being in that bent posture for that many miles.
When the cape is out from closet you know it's time for serious business. You can almost tell what speed is by listening that tire sing. What a wheel. There will be time when better wheel comes along but think how good a wheel it will be. Never guessed that Marty would go that fast. Really nice!
i don't think I've seen you ride so fast~ :) glad to see everyone having fun on sherman. heads up...fast moving UFO @ 5:00 mark. :) "Oh, Batman!" @11:53.
1. Brings tears to Martys eyes 2. Turns Marty into a speed deamon :-) 3. Hurdles and bumps, no more braking 4. Having serious thoughts about not being able to go slow(er) after this Your most emotional ride ever? :-) Awesome review as allways
Marty... I have been following you for quite sometime ... I have never seen u so emotional on a review of any wheel . I believe this wheel touched you somehow. Love ur speech Marty
11:53 “Oh Batman” Someone shouted. Wow! Someone shouting that pretty much sums up this high speed range test. Looked like a very smooth ride. I Dig the outfit it totally set the mood. I’m really curious to hear your Pros & Cons of the wheel. Excellent video! Peace & safe riding
"People are going to get injured on this wheel".... maybe we should petition Jason to skip Chooch just for this round for his own safety, or start a gofundme to make sure he is armored to the teeth, LOL! Great video Marty, I hope you are getting a commission for all the wheels that are being bought based on your reviews. Keep riding and stay safe
Thanks, Marty, for sharing this with us. The more I see, the more I'm convinced this is the wheel for me. Looking forward to your additional tests as well as your negative impressions.
Caped Crusader loving it!!! That was awesome I loved the road noise. It makes it sound like a mean machine. It's got to get people's attention. Look forward to the next review.😎👍
..so it seem weight (35kg), range and effortless high speed ride (50km/h) = joy and satisfaction 😗! Yes Marty that test ride was a good indication on the future of EUC design and what people wants!
This is the first premiere I have seen from this channel. I am assuming a wheel of this magnitude is deserving of not only a premiere, but also a cape. LETS GO!
Photo Booth Start Up well, it’s worth 3k to me. I’d prefer a Sherman with a 1600wh battery for 2k since I don’t need all that range. I mean you are getting more for the money. Batteries are expensive. If EUC isn’t worth more than 1500 to you, that’s cool. There are many excellent choices for that budget.
It doesn’t exhibit any instability, which is quite an engineering feat in itself. The weight and tire were initially thought of as negatives by many, but this review challenges those notions. Could everything on this wheel from the nuts and bolts to the crash bar be by design? Marty, did you ever think EUC technology would reach these heights?
I can remember when 800wh 67-volt wheels were "amazing". Thinking of this wheel back then would have almost been science fiction. We have made incredible progress.
(aka OhVeryFunny) By the time I comment on this all of the major bullet points will have been hit but I WILL say that my enthusiasm for purchasing this wheel grows with each review I see. They're OVERWHELMINGLY positive which justifies my preordering decision when eWheels 1st posted availability. Kudos to Veteran for achieving "Wheel of the Year" status even amidst the release of new suspension wheel technology and a "Gotzilla" Monster Pro, out of the gate. Truly, "If You Build It, We Will Come" (even at the higher price point!) Well done Godfather, "Anutha One"👌🏽🤙🏽👍🏽🙌🏾🙏🏽
Lol. Yeah. Inmotion sells more than anyone yet no one on these forums would even admit to riding one. A Ferrari is completely superior to a Honda yet which company makes more money and sells more? Economies of scale. Selling more for less always makes you more than selling less for more unless you have very large brand capitalization. This new wheel is so expensive they will sell low volumes. And disappear soon. Are you like 12?
@@Rasputin.Bogard Honda Civic Type R beats most Ferraris on most tracks, where there are not only straights ;-) Besides Honda = build quality (like sherman) while Ferrari require loads of maintenance and You pay a lot for design and brand ;-) Hard to find comparisons since Ferrari wouldn't like loosing out to a car that cost 1/5-1/10 of a Ferrari, but check the Nurnburgring numbers. Ferrari isn't even on the list, Type R is on 2 spots ;-) and thats a HIGH speed track. Imagine a short twisty track where the Type R really shines... www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/anything-goes/nurburgring-lap-records-definitive-rundown Ps Personally, I think they will sell quite a few of theese if they get their issues fixed (similar to how kingsong listen to customers), if not...then You will probably be right. Many riders are 30+ and have the cash to afford this wheel (instead or as an addition to a car or motorbike for example in the city). But time will tell. Im glad if they push the other manufacturers to make better wheels, competition is allways good ;) More high quality wheels competing normally means peice goes down and quality up
Zoom zoom! Nice one Marty. A few more rides like that on the Sherman and then I want to see you on of your other wheels and see what happens. I bet you will still ride at Sherman speeds except for maybe on the sketchier wheels.
I like to watch it, but this is damn risky. Pedestrians are unpredictable and might suddenly change direction and with such speed and mass of this thing, might be deadly
Nice Marty! you found the wheel that gets you out of youre confortable old slippers!!! The Sherman is very impressive😳 remind me went i watch youre video last October showing the love you have for the Nikola!you look astonished by how good it is✌🏻
I think you may need to shorten your cape a bit. From here, it looks like the wheel might catch it and pull it in. It appeared to come very close to that several times in the video. I laugh when you go by some of the people and they stop what they are doing to turn and watch as you go by. With all of the riding that you have done, most of the people there seem a bit shocked to see you going that fast on just one wheel. A great video and wheel. It does rain is So Cal. I see it has recently from all of the water in the canal. Now watching you on a 50" monitor attached to my PC. It's like watching a theater movie of you.
Trust me, it's been cut to a length that can't touch the tire on any of my wheels, including this one :-) It hasn't rained here in at least a couple of months. I'm not sure where that water comes from? Maybe municipal collection runoff?
I love the sound the tire makes, sounds like an angry swarm of killer bees. You may have to add a new 'time trials' category to your test. How fast can I get there and back! LOL! ;-)
Many people have commented on that. I have no idea - I don't recall seeing it myself, only in the video playback. It was kind of windy, may it was a piece of plastic trash caught in the wind? Or a UFO ;-)
Just wanted to comment about your cape going awful close to the wheel itself and with that power and torque I'd be very careful not to get the cape entangled inside that motor. Be safe. That wheel is amazing I'm definitely buying it when it becomes available. Mid 2021. Really look forward to conquer the skill of riding on the unicycle.
The next step for E-Wheel development is to have quick change battery packs. Like cordless electric tools. You'll have a lighter wheel and you'll be able to carry spares in a backpack of you're traveling far. That way if you want to ride all day, say like at a park. Just fill your car up with spare battery packs.
MikeDobbs76 Yes, among other reasons. I love the look of the S18, and was set to get it, but the battery pack and fragility issues (body parts flying off in a crash) made me decide on the V11.
@@TechShizzleRacing Here is a list of changes and improvements on the production model King Song S18: Adjustable Pedal -Structural: The pedals are adjustable allowing riders to lower the platform by 2cm. This allows riders of different heights to have better control and increased comfort levels on the S18. Mudguard- Back fender: Previous mudguard was secured by glue and one screw. The final production is secured by a total of 3, one on each shell and one in between with the addition of glue. Tiring rubbing noise: Some prototypes experienced a rubbing noise issue. The tire we used on prototype is a little bit wider than massive production, and the mainboard holder tubes had some errors, so the tire might be pushed to one side and scratched the body shell. We’ve adjusted the moldings/dimensions to eliminate these issues. Wobbliness: Users experienced issues where the wheel would wobble when braking. After testing we eliminated the issue being suspension related but was rather padding related. Users could not grip the wheel when braking hard, we have since increased the PU pad thickness from 4mm to 12mm. Top of wheel hurting inner knee: The padding was not thick enough causing the knee to interact with the harder elements of the wheel. Final production will have increased the PU pad thickness from 4mm to 12mm. Body shell: Some users experienced the case not being durable enough when crashing. We started using a material with more flexibility causing it to be less brittle. ABS+PC. Outer shells popping off: Users experienced the white body panels coming off when crashing, we have increased the thickness of the clips so they don’t come off as easily. Handle: Sometimes the trigger button gets stuck, we’ve added a crystal silicon logo above the button to create a uniform force downwards. Steel Slide: To increase the durability of our suspension we have changed the sliders from aluminum to steel. The steel is treated to protect it against elements. Suspension support frame: Suspension support frame is changed from space grey to gold. Padding durability: We have changed the material for the padding so it doesn’t rub off as easily.
I’ve already watched most the videos on the Veteran Sherman a couple times and I have ordered it almost the first time I saw it come out And be shown in New York but I’ve never heard you go so fast but that machine has such a tire on it that it’s like screaming as you’re riding it you’re amazing I’ve never seen a girl so fast and then your videos I’m glad you geared up and I am going to gear up to level III because of you thanks
A word of caution to anyone on the fence about buying an EUC, thinking to themselves, _"I'll wait awhile for prices to come down and the technology to mature."_ With the pace of development and pushing the envelope of what's possible, EUCs are getting faster and faster with greater and greater range. I won't be surprised if municipalities eventually start classifying them as...well...not an automobile, obviously...but a mode of transportation requiring some sort of license or registration. _"Will never happen!"_ some may claim. I would direct you to the example of civilian drones where just a short few years ago anyone could buy and operate one right out of the box. Now you need to license them with the FAA. So beware. If you have the money for it, get into EUCs sooner rather than later.
Plevs getting attention here in the UK as scooters legalised for road use. I think it is only for rentals at the moment though and I think legislation may follow. Personally it won't affect me as I'm the type that won't consent to talking to pigs.
That range is a whole day of riding....enough to get you tired...i wanted to hate on this wheel but its not happening..i like it...too bad i cant drop 3k on a wheel at the moment..
The price is my whole grumble. I'm hoping competition will drive prices down. I paid nearly 2k late last year for the ks16x. For the veteran to be priced at nearly 1k more it would need suspension and speakers with the same range and speed. It should also have metal or carbon fibre side panels and no increase in weight, although this looks a lot easier to maintain than my current wheel. For now, I feel this wheel is overpriced for what it can do, though I'm still excited for what its existence will mean for the industry.
@@pocho3881 i see. In that case I still consider it pricey. It looks a very capable wheel, so if you're asking as a prospective buyer unless you want suspension this still looks to be the best wheel for performance.
@@ElectricUnicycles Thanks for the reply! I mean the pads on the EUC, I saw similar ones in Hsiang's video review, but in other's the sherman had no pads on it's top half.
I think if you are going to ride at night it would be a good idea to get a light on your helmet so you can get a much bigger view of what's coming up. So long as it is tilted to the right angle shouldn't be a problem with other people.
@@ElectricUnicycles I enjoyed watching your ride, I only wish I could ride one of these like you, I bought a cheap version a few years ago and tried to ride it but ended up cutting my leg open on one of the pedals so it ended up sitting there doing nothing, I may tray again. It's no where near as fast as yours but small steps and all that you know. But they are still not allowed on roads in the UK so any riding has to be done stealthily, it's a crazy situation in the UK but we still keep breaking the laws with our Escooters ha ha.
The wheel batman would use when his z10 is on charge. Lovin that road noise Marty, very land-rover. You take it easy yeah, after the msp incident, just goes to show, even the best of us can get caught out. I know, old news, only just seen it, horrible. You take care n keep up with the publishing.
Probably forever. In four years and thousands of miles on these same trails I've never seen police. They have bigger things to worry about, at least where I live.
What happens when a pedestrian makes a sudden move into your path when you're doing 45 mph & the ambulance turns up with a vacuum cleaner to suck up the mess?
I don't know. I've never ridden faster than 30mph. You do realize the the camera lens makes objects appear closer than they actually are? But of course you don't.
Depends on how fast you ride. But I suspect you have a Sherman to enjoy the high speeds. The Pass is better than nothing but it's probably best if you get a true motorcycle helmet for the ultimate protection.

One fist forward generally creates a decent pressure wave around the body especially at the speed of sound.

Well we can all afford a cape :D
11:50 "oh, Batman!" xD
Buy a full costume...will be awesome
lmao! most want the ride. you want a cape. welcome to my life. #peasant
Just be careful it doesnt get sucked into your wheel

Awesome review as allways
Can't wait. I'd like to know your first impressions on the wieght and how it turns. Nice thumbnail
The cape is LEGENDARY! The lookback of the first guy you passed says it all lol
Marty... I have been following you for quite sometime ... I have never seen u so emotional on a review of any wheel . I believe this wheel touched you somehow. Love ur speech Marty

Pros & Cons of the wheel. Excellent video!
Peace & safe riding
Thankful for your comment or else I might have completely missed that lol
The badass cape alone made me like your video 😎 Glad to see you are pushing it to its limits.
"People are going to get injured on this wheel".... maybe we should petition Jason to skip Chooch just for this round for his own safety, or start a gofundme to make sure he is armored to the teeth, LOL! Great video Marty, I hope you are getting a commission for all the wheels that are being bought based on your reviews. Keep riding and stay safe
love that you felt emotional on this trek , the views looked gorgeous and the cape is befits the beast your riding on !!
Wow, its a new you! Great video. Love the tyre sound too
On your slower 100% test, you're going to need to start at dawn. XD
Just finished Day-1 ~58-miles with 5 out of 8 bars remaining. Tomorrow's going to be long
Wow. Very curious to see the final figure. I probably ride about the speeds you’re doing in this vid. Higher than I expected so far!
👍
OMG that is it! I’m putting an order in NOW!
This video should be the official advert for the Sherman 👌
Thanks, Marty, for sharing this with us. The more I see, the more I'm convinced this is the wheel for me. Looking forward to your additional tests as well as your negative impressions.
didnt the incredibles teach you anything about capes?
“No capes!”
Hi Marty, I think that cape slowed you down. Without it you would have easily cruised at 40 mph. But it's got to be worn!
LOL
@@ElectricUnicycles and the drag probably drained battery faster at that speed 😁

Hi there. I have been out on the Sherman with Ian Sampson today here in the UK. Love this wheel. Game changer. But you are right, riders MUST suit up.
Just between you and me, is Ian really limiting his speed on this wheel ;-)

Mudguard- Back fender: Previous mudguard was secured by glue and one screw. The final production is secured by a total of 3, one on each shell and one in between with the addition of glue.
Tiring rubbing noise: Some prototypes experienced a rubbing noise issue. The tire we used on prototype is a little bit wider than massive production, and the mainboard holder tubes had some errors, so the tire might be pushed to one side and scratched the body shell. We’ve adjusted the moldings/dimensions to eliminate these issues.
Wobbliness: Users experienced issues where the wheel would wobble when braking. After testing we eliminated the issue being suspension related but was rather padding related. Users could not grip the wheel when braking hard, we have since increased the PU pad thickness from 4mm to 12mm.
Top of wheel hurting inner knee: The padding was not thick enough causing the knee to interact with the harder elements of the wheel. Final production will have increased the PU pad thickness from 4mm to 12mm.
Body shell: Some users experienced the case not being durable enough when crashing. We started using a material with more flexibility causing it to be less brittle. ABS+PC.
Outer shells popping off: Users experienced the white body panels coming off when crashing, we have increased the thickness of the clips so they don’t come off as easily.
Handle: Sometimes the trigger button gets stuck, we’ve added a crystal silicon logo above the button to create a uniform force downwards.
Steel Slide: To increase the durability of our suspension we have changed the sliders from aluminum to steel. The steel is treated to protect it against elements.
Suspension support frame: Suspension support frame is changed from space grey to gold.
Padding durability: We have changed the material for the padding so it doesn’t rub off as easily.
Not quiet, is it? Sounds pretty industrial!
Loved it Marty
I’ve already watched most the videos on the Veteran Sherman a couple times and I have ordered it almost the first time I saw it come out And be shown in New York but I’ve never heard you go so fast but that machine has such a tire on it that it’s like screaming as you’re riding it you’re amazing I’ve never seen a girl so fast and then your videos I’m glad you geared up and I am going to gear up to level III because of you thanks
That’s so funny it’s spelled girl goes so fast but I just said Your going so fast...
Spell check!
A word of caution to anyone on the fence about buying an EUC, thinking to themselves, _"I'll wait awhile for prices to come down and the technology to mature."_ With the pace of development and pushing the envelope of what's possible, EUCs are getting faster and faster with greater and greater range. I won't be surprised if municipalities eventually start classifying them as...well...not an automobile, obviously...but a mode of transportation requiring some sort of license or registration.
_"Will never happen!"_ some may claim. I would direct you to the example of civilian drones where just a short few years ago anyone could buy and operate one right out of the box. Now you need to license them with the FAA. So beware. If you have the money for it, get into EUCs sooner rather than later.
They'll go after ebikes first. And part of the definition of a bicycle here is having 2 wheels.
Plevs getting attention here in the UK as scooters legalised for road use. I think it is only for rentals at the moment though and I think legislation may follow.
Personally it won't affect me as I'm the type that won't consent to talking to pigs.
Freedom is illegal. The greedy government cunts have to have their hands in everybody's pockets.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 lol ok.. except this doesn’t have anything to do with freedom or money does it
@@darkstar4494 Freedom and money are almost synonymous. Currency is not money. Currency robs people of their purchasing power.
good job Marty
That cape man looks so cool.
That range is a whole day of riding....enough to get you tired...i wanted to hate on this wheel but its not happening..i like it...too bad i cant drop 3k on a wheel at the moment..
The price is my whole grumble. I'm hoping competition will drive prices down.
I paid nearly 2k late last year for the ks16x. For the veteran to be priced at nearly 1k more it would need suspension and speakers with the same range and speed. It should also have metal or carbon fibre side panels and no increase in weight, although this looks a lot easier to maintain than my current wheel.
For now, I feel this wheel is overpriced for what it can do, though I'm still excited for what its existence will mean for the industry.
@@bart797979 what do you think about it now?
@@pocho3881 nothing changed as far as I know, so neither has my opinion.
@@bart797979 the price went down $150
@@pocho3881 i see.
In that case I still consider it pricey.
It looks a very capable wheel, so if you're asking as a prospective buyer unless you want suspension this still looks to be the best wheel for performance.
@duffy looks wicked loving the cape.. as it ever gotten caught in your wheel?
The length of the cap was cut so that it's impossible to touch the tire.
all the head turns - absolutely priceless
What are those pads you've got on it?
The Leatt Dual-Axis knee pads?
@@ElectricUnicycles Thanks for the reply! I mean the pads on the EUC, I saw similar ones in Hsiang's video review, but in other's the sherman had no pads on it's top half.
@@toplessriven811 Those are generic powerpads that EWheels is now selling. I had a pair so I installed them on the Sherman.
I think if you are going to ride at night it would be a good idea to get a light on your helmet so you can get a much bigger view of what's coming up.
So long as it is tilted to the right angle shouldn't be a problem with other people.
I don't do a lot of night riding, but when it's planned (not caught at night by accident), I bring a separate light that's attached to my arm.
@@ElectricUnicycles I enjoyed watching your ride, I only wish I could ride one of these like you, I bought a cheap version a few years ago and tried to ride it but ended up cutting my leg open on one of the pedals so it ended up sitting there doing nothing, I may tray again.
It's no where near as fast as yours but small steps and all that you know.
But they are still not allowed on roads in the UK so any riding has to be done stealthily, it's a crazy situation in the UK but we still keep breaking the laws with our Escooters ha ha.
Well done Marty “ so going 30 miles a hour “ what mileage do u think it will do 🇬🇧🙏
All I can do is repeat what I said at the end of the video. 39-miles with 5 out of 8 battery bars left. Seems to me, maybe 80-miles?
First time I've seen the cape.
Capes were designed with horses in mind. Do you have any thoughts?
Going to buy me a Sherman this week...awesome video...what cam and lense are you using ?...love that view and the shots you're taking
Thanks. See the Description for access to my equipment list
The wheel batman would use when his z10 is on charge. Lovin that road noise Marty, very land-rover. You take it easy yeah, after the msp incident, just goes to show, even the best of us can get caught out. I know, old news, only just seen it, horrible. You take care n keep up with the publishing.
Very scenic, makes me wanna to explore
The joys of riding an unicycle.
13:44 Isn't that cape dangerous?
Why would it be dangerous. Camera angles fool the eye. The cape is sized to be impossible to touch the tire.
Batman cape and back light looks like Superman's logo. So here we have Batman with Superman 😀
Batman is riding superman. He made him his bitch after that awful movie.
It appears Gotway and Kingsong gave this video two thumbs down. No more sincerer compliment than envy :)
LOL
Envy for what? Inmotion is the most profitable company. I am sure they are very worried.
@@Rasputin.Bogard It's just a joke. You're correct, Inmotion is probably a very profitable company.
I wonder how long alternative e-transports will be allowed on pedestrian and cyclist infastructure with these speeds.
Probably forever. In four years and thousands of miles on these same trails I've never seen police. They have bigger things to worry about, at least where I live.
Marty. Wouldna mirror angled at your feet give you a heads up display?
Sounds like thats the ability to see panel with heads up.
you're a beast, marty! -kiyo
waiting for the stress test, thanks
Coming soon!
This should bump the development of new wheels nicely.
Kicked sand in the face of the other euc makers! It's on!
Plaese whate the name of your camera 👏😜😎thank's.
Insta 360 X
Great video! Impressive wheel. What camera are you using?
In the description
18:24 that "argh", I feel that in my shoulders and my feet brother. lol that's a long ass ride.
12:23 meditating on the grass at sunset... that feels amazing even through the video
Marty, this is awesome man. Love it!
What happens when a pedestrian makes a sudden move into your path when you're doing 45 mph & the ambulance turns up with a vacuum cleaner to suck up the mess?
I don't know. I've never ridden faster than 30mph. You do realize the the camera lens makes objects appear closer than they actually are? But of course you don't.
It's crazy look at his reaction to wheels then and looking at the new ones with their capabilities.
I guess were just not gonna talk about the UFO at 5:02 ???
I'd identify it as a plastic bag or some mcdonalds wrapper.
Watching this and listening to the wheel is satisfying
Do you think a TSG Pass would be enough head protection on the Sherman?
Depends on how fast you ride. But I suspect you have a Sherman to enjoy the high speeds. The Pass is better than nothing but it's probably best if you get a true motorcycle helmet for the ultimate protection.
True, I'm kinda sad person, but when I ride on MTB, skateboard, or wheel I feel goooood.
Love the video. Question? How do you fix a flat on one of those eucs'?
It's not too hard. There are lots of videos online that show the process.
