Is Sherman S still good in 2026? As a second wheel for someone about 100 miles in on an Inmotion v6 learner wheel?

I think it doesn't have a smartbms, and seller says it's been "sitting for years" which makes me feel a bit cautious. But photo shows unit on with battery bar at 60-70%. I think this wheel doesn't have smartbms?

What would be a fair price for it? It might only have 5 miles on it, not 100% sure. I think there are some pedal scrapes, so maybe owner bought it, tried it out for about 5 miles trying to learn, and quit. But I saw from a previous post it's possible to reset odometer on Sherman S, so... But otherwise the unit does look almost new from the photos.

I want a EUC, I’m a beginner I don’t want anything 20 mph

Not sure why, but whenever I fully gear up, my wheels always feel more stable. Could it be the additional weight?

Alpinestar motorcycle boots

Leatt knee pads

Scorpion exo helmet

Generic elbow pads but very strong

Hillbilly wrist guard half finger gloves

That’s the gear I wear, but for sure it makes me feel 100x safer & for some reason, the wheels feel so much more stable.

Anyway, gear up regardless! Happy riding

Looking to buy my first EUC that I can actually grow with daily for the next year or two. I have rich experience with hyperscooters and I am happy to see how much the EUC community grew over the past 3 years, now I feel I want to join and get into the forest properly (not so easy with my scoots, they are way better for roads).

Which one of these Veteran Lynx S or KingSong KS-S22 Eagle Pro+ would you recommend as I mostly want to ride trails / forest roads with this and the difference between these two is exactly 1k €?

To me these are both great EUCs, I just wonder how much better firmware Lynx S does have and if it really is worth it to cough out another grand for it. To my understanding, Lynx S builds on previous great Lynx, but KS-S22 should be also improved since the original release, at least batteries are now also 50S.

Since this will be my first EUC should I take into account possible falls and if so which one of these should last longer? I've heard Veteran builds these like tanks, can anyone confirm/compare with KingSong?

need advice please I'm trying to seat a tyre on the patton-S I'm putting lube on ,what psi can I go up to to try seat it, I'm scared to over do it just in case I pop a rim , what pressure is advisable please and thx in advance

Is it even possible or worth while to try and convert to a S? What essential parts only would I have to order? Just the motherboard?

Big $ Decision time: I will need a new vehicle soon, but if I don't use it much my current one will be fine for the odd rainy day.

I have decided to buy a wheel again, but this time as a serious replacement to my car/motorcycles. I had only motorcycles for years and still have all the requisite gear. Doing the math, with my commute, any larger high-end EUC would pay for itself in savings within the year. Thankfully I live in Texas, so I can ride mostly year-round.

I am stuck on Sherman L vs Oryx. Leaning Oryx(Think we'll get an "Oryx S" anytime soon?)...

I figure my most important attributes will be safety, range, and reliability, followed by speed as my commute is quite long and dangerous at times, even in a car.

The commute is ~40-50 miles one way, depending on the day. It takes anywhere from 55 to 90 minutes by car depending on traffic.

One part is a rural 20 mile stretch of dangerous and hilly(big/steep hills) 2 lane road with no sidewalk or shoulder. It does have a short passing lane in a few strategic places, as well as numerous driveways for residences along the country road. The speed limit on the road is 55mph, and cars often go slower than that, as it is quite twisty. I figure I can have a mirror on my helmet or glove and just pull into the grass if/when someone speedy approaches from behind.

After that it gives way to a very EUC friendly cityscape until my destination (Austin). When I lived in town, at times the 16x was no slower than traveling by car, and during rush hour it was often faster.

I am pretty much set on Leaperkim for the reliability and range as I am not the biggest fan of Gotway and Inmotion just doesn't appeal to me much. I like the spartan, utilitarian nature of the LK wheels as well.

I know the Sherman L would be a great all rounder, and maybe more torquey for the hills, but the Oryx edges it out on range and speed/stability. It's only 20 pounds heavier too, so I'm wondering how much more unruly it truly feels at slower speeds.

Most of my recreational city riding is done from 15-40mph or so, and at times I ride off-road trails in the hill country, but they are decently to somewhat maintained. Will the Oryx really handle that poorly compared to the Sherman? I know it may not flick as effortlessly as the 16x did at those speeds, but is it really so much work?

Zen from YouTube says it isn'tunwieldy at all, but others say it is, and I'm not sure if he was just hyping it for views as he's moved onto hyping other wheels now.

Anyone my size ride both the Oryx and Sherman L?

Thanks!

I just figured out something about the v12ht problem and why some of us had problems. I found out when to turn off and if to turn the v12ht on quickly bah on, in fact the v12ht doesn't really turn off, when you turn off your wheel you can see that the screen is always on with extremely low brightness you have to be in the shade to see it, if you roll like that you can have reports of your wheel to say danger or sometimes nothing there is just nothing The screen that freezes and you have the disaster. It's been 2 to 3 years since I noticed it when I saw it I turned my wheel off once I waited for the screen to turn it off completely and then I turned it on again to turn it back on again to turn it on all the problems that correct. If I do not do this lock twice, it should not be locked with the password. inmotion should update this. I still have the latest version of the wheel after the known problems.

I have a Tesla V2 that’s of course 1000wh and 84v 1900w etc. No news there. I weigh just under 200lbs or so all up. Can anyone explain what kind of upgrade I’ll see with something like the Aero? Really it’s just the difference between 84v and 126v. I’d like the suspension upgrade of course but not sure what kind of real world performance I can expect and want to get an idea of it’s worth it yet for a small, newer, more powerful rig. Is it mainly more headroom or will I see big improvements everywhere with a more modern setup?

Thank you to those who helped me pick out my first EUC a few weeks back. My Nosfet Aero arrived in the mail today and I was able to ride around within 5 minutes! Human powered unicycling transferred pretty well haha. Still can't mount, but am getting better! Thanks for being a supportive community.
