“I wanted a small wheel that I can easily lift up onto a train for commuting. I also wanted a wheel that was fast enough to keep up with a group I ride with. I'm 198 lbs, but probably closer to 215 when you factor in clothing and backpack. So far this wheel has been great, the huge amount of torque is incredible. I've gotten it up to 26mph. So it's plenty fast.
It needs more padding up high because my legs rarely make contact and I have to squeeze with my ankles this is not ideal. As a result the ride can be a little shakey, but I'm also not that experienced so might be just me.
Overall this wheel suits my needs very well, and I would highly recommend it to others.”
“This is an AMAZING mid-sized wheel. After realizing that my 18XL would be very large and too bulky as a daily driver, I picked up this wheel on Jason's recommendation. I was immediately infatuated with the strong torque and high cruising speed that is packed into this 14 inch wheel. It also doesn't look half bad with its carbon fiber finish!”
“I am brand new to EUC's and was able to get up and ride the MCM5 and do figure 8's around the tennis court with what looked to be some amount of finesse in about 2 hours. Love the wheel. Took several super hard hits upon bailing but other than some scratches looks no worse for wear.”
