“STOP!
If you are thinking of or about to purchase an electric skateboard, OneWheel, or E-bike, DON'T DO IT!
I mean I won't stop you, it's your choice, but seriously consider getting an EUC first! I was about to buy a OneWheel, which I think are awesome and drooled over for the longest time, but while watching Youtube reviews on them and reading comments I stumbled across a faithful EUC rider who said to check out an EUC instead. Curiosity got the best of me and I am glad it did!
After about 20+hr's of research watching vids, reading blogs and comparing specs between OneWheels and EUC's, I couldn't believe how much more an EUC had to offer for the same amount, if not less $$$.
I was sold instantly and after finding the King Song 16S to be a perfect fit for me, a true beginner to the field, I pulled the trigger and made a purchase. NOTE: I am not one to quickly or easily make big purchases and let me tell you this was a quick one.
When the 16S arrived at my door I was soooo happy and went out to try to ride it right away. After doing a few beginner drills (tutorials on Youtube) for a few hours I was able to start riding and it has only gone up from there. After 3 days (started actual riding on the 2nd) I have already put 20 miles on the wheel and have been able to conquer steep hills and all sorts of different kinds of terrain (grass, clay, pavement). I cannot believe how remarkably well the 16S performs and handles and cannot wait to unlock its full potential!
It has adequate warnings for safety (something OneWheels kinda lack), a powerful motor, generous battery life, and nice speakers for playing favorite tunes. It's not overly heavy like some models as well.
The customer support from eWheels is also amazing and they can answer ANY questions you have, especially William.
I am a happy buyer and rider and can't wait to see what the future holds for these devices! If you are on the edge of getting one, JUST DO IT. You won't regret it!
The only thing I think could be better on the wheel is a better Bluetooth range when connecting with the phone. It disconnects after you are about 7-10ft from the device.
Also stay safe if you get one by getting the proper gear. I wear a full helm, wrist guards, knee pads, padded shorts and an armored jacket. Might be much for some, but I just hate the idea of making love with the road. At least wear a helm and wrist guards.
I am also 6'1" and 145lbs for reference.”
“First time EUC buyer/rider and I'm so glad I took the advice of some genuine youtubers to check out this company. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get my order as I had ordered a popular make/model. Then I realized I should probably also grab a wheel cover after I already placed my order. William was kind enough to comp the $17 shipping and I got the cover within 4 days. I got the KingSong 16s earlier this week and haven't had too much time to get accommodated yet but I'm stoked about getting on the road once I'm ready.
Definitely awesome company/people and I wish I had discovered this new sport sooner!”
“This is a follow-up review from a rider in Seattle. After four 2 hour sessions, I was confident to put the wheel anywhere my mind wanted it to go. Once your muscle memory gets locked in, it is no longer a wheel you control, it is a magic carpet responding to your very thoughts. I agree on the durability factor. Those first sessions and a healthy dose of fear saw me leaping off of the machine as I watched it clatter and scrape to a stop. It survived all of my temporary abandonments and actually still looks pretty decent (all black is a good color to hide the scrapes). Several months later and after many accumulated miles, I can dance to the music from my phone spinning and swaying with the beat, maneuver the wheel in very tight spaces and feel the thrill of flying at top speed. I have taken recently to hopping off curbs and catching some air going over speed bumps. I have never gotten close to running the battery down as it goes for hours. One more detail, I am almost 63 years old. I bought this to challenge myself and it has become second nature to cruise in the neighborhood and up to the local school yard to further hone my riding skills on smooth tarmac and lumpy soccer fields. A very cool thing to own and master. While I have not fallen seriously over these last several months (only went down once at very low speed during session 3-scraped palm of a wrist guard and a bruise on the hip), I am not keen on riding without a good set of knee, elbow, & wrist guards and my bike helmet. No point inviting disaster by riding free for the little money it takes to get a good and comfy set of protective pads. If you are in reasonably good shape, you can do this activity and it is really like no other. The 16S is an impressive and elegant piece of technology.”
“Review is for King Song 16x. Received wheel in extremely short time frame, 5 days post order even though listed as Backordered. Tracking info and shipment through Fedex. Too soon to give a good review of wheel.
5 stars service is for the staff and company support. Fast fulfillment and even though I placed a second order for a wheel cover RollNZ Ewheels amended this order for Free shipping. Didn’t even have to ask, no Coupon code, just great service! As this is my first wheel was worried about the usual. Can I learn to balance. Are there hidden cost? The free wrist guards are perfect helping new and old to just enjoy the ride. Ewheels.com is an amazing company. Anybody should trust them in providing not only a quality product but more importantly great service.
Thank you Jason McNeil and all the staff at Ewheels”
“It took some time to train on it, since this is my first EUC. I watched a lot of Jimmy Chang, U-Stride, Duf , isthereanyfood and I learned a lot about what I was getting into. Now im comfortable riding it finally after 6-8 days with about 10 hours of training. I documented my journey learning on it and I think Jason and the entire eWheels company is doing a fantastic job providing excellent old school customer service that is honest and reliable. The wheel is nimble, its speed is enough for my needs at the moment and it handles a lot of different type of terrain very well. I suggest Hard mode once you get comfortable on the device, the wheel feels more easier to ride. I will def be picking a new wheel in the future from these guys. Consider watching my video about the Kingsong 16s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5F0E5DUR78”
“Just got this wheel as an upgrade from my InMotion V5F and I am absolutely in love with it. It rides smoothly and comfortably over long distances while still maintaining an aggressive edge when you ask for it. The matte black finish is super stylish and I love that I can play music while riding (I do wish the speakers were a bit louder for noisy environments but its hardly a complaint). Its much heavier than my previous wheel but the luggage handle makes that a non-issue in most situations. I also love having the direct customer support from e-wheels as getting questions answered has been super easy (something I don't take for granted in this niche market).”
“Fantastic wheel for beginners. The wheel is very nimble with many safety features. I have 300 miles on mine and have never had any issues. The blue tooth speakers and lights are the icing on the cake. The only downside is the speed limiter but that goes away as you learn to ride (150km or less depending on firmware). Pick up some shin guards you are going to need them. eWheels is a great company and their customer service is amazing. Ask for Jason he is fantastic!”
