“I have nothing to compare it to as this is my first wheel. It was very easy to learn. After watching a lot of videos I thought I was in for a long term learning cycle. I was actually riding it without falling after about 30 minutes, was able to do turns and mount without holding a wall after about an hour. The blue tooth range is HORRIBLE, although I realize that most people will have their phone in their pocket or person while riding, so not an issue, I left mine on table nearby as I didn't want to fall and crush my phone. Disconnected music after just a few feet. Is very sturdy, can't count the number of times dropped, scrapped, went flying across the driveway, but still keeps on ticking. Can't wait to get a few more miles on it.”
“Total noobie here, went with the KS 16S and have not been disappointed. I got the hang of it quick once I put it in soft mode and nk realized I needed to stand up straight, relax(very important), and understand that my body is like a pendulum at my ankles. Now I just need to learn free mounting. Overall, KS 16S is an awesome wheel for a beginner and it’s built much better than it looks in pictures! The only negative is pedal tilt back at max speed which has already got me saving for a Nikola Plus as I can tell I’m gonna like a little more speed for commuting. But what an amazing personal mobility device!!”
“I think this is a great starter wheel for the ambitious rider just getting into the EUC space. It's the perfect commuter for my generally tame-weathered California town. Wear a helmet and wrist pads!
THE BAD
- foot pads require a lot of force to fold up or down so keep your nails trimmed
- i honestly feel like I want to go faster but this isn't anyone's fault but my own
- the red reversing lights are a little dim
- all the apps feel a little half-baked ESPECIALLY KINGSONG's native one jesus
THE GOOD:
- easily rides the streets in my town
- easy to learn
- big forgiving pads (mine came without the giant cheesy KingSong logo”
“My first euc but it's been a pleasure. It's taken me about a week to get the hang of riding it, but the wheel is very smooth, quite and responsive. The range is amazing, and I love the lights on the wheel. It seems to do everything I hoped for and I really look forward to riding more and gaining more confidence.”
“Extremely happy with the fit and finish of the 16s. Take Jasons advice on which app to use, makes life simpler.
I am brand new at this sport so I can’t judge performance yet. I don't believe I will need to upgrade anytime soon.
Like a lot of reviews have said about the pads they are very hard on the shins. Might want to add some padding to them while learning.
I would definitely buy this wheel again.”
