“100 miles in the first 3 days - after getting into this about two weeks ago? Three of the best days of my life! I was lucky enough to get a really good deal on a ninebot one e+ a couple weeks ago. Took 10 hours across three days to find my balance, but then I started to explore. Just an exhilarating experience once I got going - and understanding how much there is to learn and grow with this experience. And it's contemporary. And it's cool.
I settled on the Kingsong 18XL as the best all around wheel for someone like myself, looking for the ultimate upgrade from the e+. It is exactly what I wanted - torque, range, speed. I've still only hit 26 MPH, and that felt super fast. I'm guessing as I gain experience, I will also gain comfort.
I've really put the unit through it's paces in the last few days - one super nice day, once out in the rain, and today out in the puddles and mud. Really hoping it can take this abuse over the long haul - be interesting to find out.
I'd say in my novice ability that this wheel really likes smooth surfaces - it just glides, and takes corners really well - also learning to carve long S turns, which this unit (all wheels?) really seems made for. It's torque is super impressive going up hills, I've never felt like it didn't have enough power, just my lack of ability, or loose ground has stopped some ascents. It manages offroad really well, but I think I might have the tire pressure a bit high (right around 40) which bounced me around on the more uneven surfaces. Sure that offroad is a lot of technique/experience too. Really like the foot pedals - big and grippy. My feet were getting ruined by the ninebot e+, and in the last three days of riding, my feet have actually improved on the 18XL, so that is a good sign.
So I'm all in on this unit, and can't wait to keep improving my skill - always remember - Safety First!”
“This is my first EUC. 18xl pulls my 215lb body around with ease. Very smooth, I also have a OW Xr and this 18xl has much more power and Has a very nice ride.
small imperfections in the road that would disrupt the OW the 18xl glides right over them.”
“The 18L is a great wheel. I own an Inmotion V8 (very good wheel) that I got from Ewheels about a year ago and decided to upgrade to a larger wheel with higher top speed. Right off the bat the 18 handles very well even with the larger wheel. This wheel just cruises along at 20 to 25mph very comfortable, it can go faster but I have not pushed it yet. I recommend this wheel to anybody upgrading from a smaller wheel or just getting into EUC's. Jason is very helpful and quick to reply to questions or issues if they come up. Very happy with both of these wheels. Cheers!”
“Great all around wheel!
Suited mostly to bike trails but can handle offroad as well. Super convenient trolley handle & nice lighting on the sides! Definitely get the fast charger, totally worth it. I love the cover too!!”
“This is my first EUC. I purchased the King Song 18XL based on You Tube videos and recommendations from the EUC Forum. I'm 6'0 210 lbs . I have had my first ride yesterday doing around 20km in distance. The 18XL feels very well balanced and feels very stable. Its quite heavy but after a couple training sessions it felt "normal". It came with a roll.nz cover which looks and fits great! Very pleased with my purchase and dealing with eWheels was a very positive experience !”
“I absolutely fell in love with this machine. I spent like 9 hours learning in the course of two days. I am a complete newb. I am now riding around the neighborhood. Dont give up! I can see how this is not just a transportation device but a connection. I love this machine!”
