“Rs 19 hs. EWheels.com is awesome. My wheel came with knobby tire and spiked pedals wich wasn't in the description. Bonus. My big concern was the fire issue. EWheels.com addressed me with some info that pertained to extra work done to monitor the battery status for temps, voltage and has a cut out Fuze and extra battery buzzer that the Chinese version doesn't have. Only issue My wheel has is its missing 1 screw in the side cover. I am not concerned about that being I have a selection of hardware from my other hobbies.
Now if this Minnesota weather would warm up. I'd totally recommend buying from EWheels.com”
“Coming from a 16X, this is such a step up. Super stable and fun ride. The wheel gives lots of confidence, especially with the Clark Pads I’ve added. Plenty of power. Haven’t come close to it’s full potential.”
“Love my new wheel!! It arrived 2 days early in perfect condition. This is my first 100v wheel. All I can say is wow!! I have purchased a few wheels from eWheels. I keep coming back for their fast response time and phenomenal customer service. Jason and his team is awesome!!”
“My wheel cam stock with amazing pedals that were spiked and honeycomed. The powerpads were nice and the wheel itself runs great. I just really wish it displayed speed in MPH and was not locked to KHM.”
“This is a superb wheel. It rides like an absolute dream. I use it to commute to work which is about 15 miles away through traffic and on bike trails. I literally can't wait to go to work it is so fun to ride this thing. It is extremely stable and smooth but still has excellent maneuverability. Charging times are great with a fast charger. I have the HS version and ride it very comfortably at 35-38mph. Night time riding is totally fine with the bright lights.
At high speed I wish they went a little further just for safety, but they are still very good. It's also a great looking wheel. The lights are fun and great for added visibility at night. I know some people aren't into the LED thing, but if you riding in traffic at night I think it's essential!
The pedals are a good size. I wear size 14 shoes and they work well. I do wish they were a tad longer, but again my feet are much larger than average. You should also expect to replace the grip tape as the OEM wears down quickly. Not a big deal though. I received two sets of power pads with this which was very cool, and the included mudguard works well to keep the mud off my backside. For those of you worried about rain, I did get stuck in a heavy downpour for the last 15/20 minutes of a ride. I opened the wheel when I got home to check it and there was only a few drops of water inside. I was pretty surprised and happy about this. I have not heard any rattling from the bearings either (this is the second version of the RS with the display and upgraded batteries).
The cons for the wheel are mostly small things. The one bigger one is that I have experienced some inconsistencies like the animated LED lights no longer animating part way through a ride, and me needing to reset the wheel to get the headlights to turn on/off. I'm not crazy about inconsistent electronics on a device I am trusting my life with. It hasn't kept me from riding it hard, but I am always watching it closely. I do wish it had a longer range as well. I can only eek out about 25 miles on it if riding it constantly at high speed (which I do!). This is not necessarily the fault of the wheel though. It's just how these specs pan out. Also I am about 220 lbs suited up and at 6'7" I catch a lot of wind. I am also not crazy about the trolley handle and the tendency of the wheel to take off while trolleying if you tilt it at an angle. I take it into stores with me, but I am always extremely wary of it leaning up against a wall. I know that if it were to start to fall over or get bumped by an unsuspecting passerby that it could easily take off at high speed!
In conclusion, I would say that while this isn't the best wheel for all uses and there are some small things I'd like to see improved, it is an superb buy if you enjoy high speed riding with excellent maneuverability on pavement or hard packed trails. Guaranteed grinning from ear to ear.”
