“I absolutely adore my 16X. It's my first wheel! I got the basics down after a few days, and now (a couple weeks in) I feel very comfortable riding in traffic, mounting, dismounting, maneuvering, navigating potholes, the whole nine yards. I feel extremely stable on this wheel...obviously I have nothing to compare it to, but I've never once felt like the device was out of my control. The range is insane, the speed is plenty fast for my purposes, and I find myself coming up with excuses to take it out on the road and glide around. I love it!!”
“Being my first EUC, I wasn't sure which one to buy. I wanted something I could grow into without being overwhelmed. I bought the 16XS with the 777Wh battery.
Pros:
I charged it a week ago and it's still at over 50% charged!
It's built really tough. I've dumped it numerous times and the shell can take a beating.
It climbs the hills where I live really well.
It's loads of fun and the speakers sound decent when playing music through them!
Cons: (Most of which, I'm sure, have to do with my experience level.)
It's heavy. It fell on my foot while learning to ride it and youch!
Difficult to ride at slow speeds (again, probably my experience level.)
Seems to require a lot more effort to control than I expected. ("SUBMIT, wheel!")
The chip-and-seal roads near me seem to hate my EUC and it wobbles like crazy on them.
All in all, I have no regrets, and I'm having a lot of fun (as well as a great leg workout).
If I were to do it over, I may have bought a smaller wheel to start off with but this one's a keeper and one I'd recommend highly.”
“The 16XS is my first wheel so I have nothing to compare it to. I haven't been able to ride much without the wheel wobbling yet, but I'm hopeful that's a rider error that will resolve itself with more practice and not something wrong with the wheel. Other than the wobble and the wheel occasionally accelerating when it gets laid on it's side, I'm happy with the purchase.”
“Riduculously fun, huge battery, carves the hills up. So far its great, like skiing down slopes without snow or a lift pass. Goes offroad great, tunes and lights are fun too.”
“Great wheel with fast acceleration and easy climbing up hills. The high pedal clearance takes a little to get used to and makes the wheel very nimble. The kingsong handle is really nice to move the wheel when not riding.”
