“Just eclipsed the 500 mile mark on my 16s! Best purchase of the year. 21 mph is plenty fast for most scenarios. More range would be better, because I find myself going further when I'm exploring! This is not a toy... it's serious alternative transportation. Should I get the 16x next, or MSX?”
“I love this thing. Tough to learn, fun to ride. I love how it flattens out my very hilly city - no more sweating at work after bike commuting. Jason has taken great care of me, quick on email responses and on shipping out new parts (I replaced the original pedals and handle).”
“Awesome wheel. Super agile and maneuverable! Using it for ~8.5 mile (each way) commutes has been a blast. Acceleration is great, I often beat cars off the line up until around 15mph! Surprising amount of power up the ridiculous hills where I live too. Can take me up while cruising 18mph no problem. Also, King Song trolley handles are the bees knees. The only thing I don't totally dig is the side pads. I don't like how far they stick out - if the pedals were just set slightly wider, that would be nice. The contact point is also a little low - a taller wheel distributes the load along your leg better, which is more comfortable for mounting/dismounting or one-legged riding. These are relatively minor quibbles. This is a great wheel to have around. Due to where I frequently ride, I've found myself more comfortable on a wheel capable of ~25mph+ so that I can ride in traffic when necessary. Cyclists here are just super unpredictable, and passing them can be pretty dangerous. That said, I do wear CE rated knee and elbow impact protection, wrist guards, and a full face helmet. I still like having this for fun little rides - it's just so zippy!”
“... Jason was right ! I was thinking I would get the 18xl, but now that I'm up to speed on my 16s, I really can't see wanting to go much faster than 20mph. My daughter and I spent most of Father's Day getting up to speed on the wheel. My daughter was frustrated because I was able to go further and turn quicker than she could. She didn't think she would get it but after about 2 hours of switching off, we both were cruising around having a ball! I tried the intermediate and expert modes and decided to stick with the beginner mode, but removed the speed limiter. There is a lot of room to grow with this wheel! The only negative I can think of is the weight of these euc's. But it's well worth it for the smiles for miles your will enjoy! I plan on commuting with this as soon as I feel more proficient. The Black Matte finish has been holding up to the drops it's endured with no extra padding for protection. I am so glad I went through with the purchase... Thanks Ewheels!”
“Great service, communication from Jason. He really understands the concept of customer service! Learning to ride the wheel inside at the moment. Getting on and getting off. going forward and backward while holding on. Controlling the wheel with one leg... I will go outside with it tomorrow and start going point A to point B... Stay tuned!”
“Upgraded from a Ninebot E+ about a year ago. I had ~1,200 miles on the E+ when the 16S arrived. Really nice upgrade. Faster, more stable, much improved range, higher pedals so less scraping on turns. I have ~1,800 miles on the KS 16s now and still having a blast. The biggest advantage is the ability to stop quickly. Several times the E+ dumped me on my behind when performing an emergency stop.”
“Hi.
I have had this KS16s for several months now which I purchased from Ewheels and I absolutely love it. I try and ride at least twice a week or more when time permits. Recently, on a trip to Canada, I decided I wanted to bring my euc along. It was difficult finding a bag that it fit into so I could bring it along on the bus. I prepared to go for my first ride in Canada. I left my hotel room and went to pick up the euc to go down the stairs when the handle broke off. Before I had a chance to react, the euc went tumbling down the stairs. The euc was still operational but the handle was left in my hand. I realized just how handy and convinient the handle is. Therefore, I will have to order a new handle when I get back to the States. I will also be ordering the larger pedals.
Concerning the app, its terribly frustrating to use. Though I have gotten use to it. One problem I'm having is the Km left to go. It keeps going back to 74km when I turn the unit on. I currently have close to 400 miles. I have been keeping track on "Map my Ride." Overall I love this Ks16s and look forward to upgrading to the 18XL for the longer riding distance.”
“I recently upgraded to the 16S and i gotta tell you...its a big step up from the 14D.
This wheel is a lot of fun if use properly.
Even though im still a newbie because I've only been riding for 3 months on average of once a week,i feel like i have total control of this wheel,it wobbles a little bit when reaching 20 mph that's when its time to slow down,the more i ride it the more fun i have every time,i will advice new riders and all riders to always wear helmet, knee pads,elbowpads,and wrist guard you feel protected, you feel confident not afraid of falling and if you fall... wich is likely to happen "I'd fallen twice "not a single scratch and haven't been discourage to continue riding.
Over all this is a fun wheel to ride not to small not to big for me ,im 5' 8" 160 lbs. This wheel feels powerful because it is powerful, i think its the perfect size wheel for someone my size.
I highly recomend the KS16S.”
