“I fell in love with my Sherman almost immediately. I'm a truck driver and having my Sherman with me gives me the ability to go explore new places that I would otherwise miss out on. It provides me with freedom from my truck. I regularly use it go to restaurants, shopping, and just site seeing.
In fact my Sherman was recently stolen and I immediately ordered a replacement. Without it my job feels more like I'm a prisoner to the truck. With it I feel like I'm an explorer out exploring the whole United States.”
“veteran sherman is hands the most durable, most capable wheel out there. It can handle anything you throw at it. steeps hills check. long distance, check. 40+ mph safe cruising, check. off road, check. hard crash and survive, check. My longest ride was 60 miles and it did it no sweat, and i averaged 30mph. I dont think i will be able to go back to a gotway or begode because one crash and its whole frame is destroyed. The ex is more expensive than the sherman, however if you let someone ride it and they bail, it will destroy itself. Sherman can take a beating.”
“I was a first-batch buyer and almost 3000 miles into ownership I would give this wheel six stars if I could. Remember, this is not an impulsive, glowing review after a first ride. This is six months in!
The Sherman is one of seven wheels I've owned, and not only is it the most stable and powerful wheel I've ever had the joy to experience, but ewheels after-purchase service is as reliable, friendly and supportive as ever.
I'm a 6'1", 175 pound rider with gear. Mostly city riding on bike paths and streets. Hills are no challenge for the Sherman and I have not even touched top speed. You get on it and go. My longest ride has been 38 miles and I still had 75% of my battery left. Incredible.
The combination of Veteran Sherman + eWheels support and service is simply the best in the business.
If you're reading this review because you're considering this wheel, you have my strongest possible endorsement.”
“I love this wheel. I know that with modern inflated notions of what "4 stars" means it suggests that I don't, but I really do love this wheel (I don't ride my other wheels anymore)... so let's start with my complaints.
As everyone says, Sherman is not for the inexperienced. Yes, you can feel its weight, but even on top of that, it's just not as responsive as other wheels. If you've ever driven a pre-power-steering car, it's a bit like that, you just have to have confidence when you tell it what to do (and you have to be ready in case it doesn't... they didn't fully fix the cornering dip thing). And you have to be ready for it to take a small fraction of a second longer to respond to changing conditions than other wheels do. It has a responsiveness setting, you can set it to hard, medium, or soft, the only problem is that soft isn't soft enough. By the time you've worked your way up to the Sherman you'll want more sensitivity than Sherman has.
My biggest complaint is its lack of a "I'm going to pick you up now" button. The sales literature dismisses this limitation with something to the effect of "at 70lbs, you're just not going to pick it up anyway"... the obvious problem with that, of course, is that I regularly do carry my Sherman up a flight of stairs. So don't tell me what I am and am not going to do, just give me the flipping button.
The luggage-esque walking handle is just barely stout enough, but it's far harder to control in tight spaces (eg super market isles) than narrower-handled wheels like Inmotion's. It's the difference between walking a situationally aware dog vs walking a moron dog, you can still get the moron dog to do what you want, it just takes more effort. That said, I don't know how fixable this problem is; a handle like the V10F has might not be strong enough for something this big.
Okay, so that was a lot of complaining. Given all that, how could I love such a wheel? Why don't I ride my V10F anymore? Well... Sherman has one feature that no other wheel has: enough power. When I'm on my V10F, superior though its responsiveness, size, and features are, I'm getting speed warning beeps THE ENTIRE TIME. And sometimes I have to wonder whether or not there's enough charge for a given ride (not often mind, but sometimes). Sherman just doesn't have those problems and it is _glorious_. How fast is it? Fast enough that I'm not constantly up against the limit trying to go faster but not wanting to fracture my face. How far can it go? On a 90% charge it can go further than I've ever wanted to go in a day. I simply don't have to think about the limits of the device; it does what I want it to do... and I love it.”

“HOLY MOLY!!! This machine is a BEAST!!! I hit 52 mph today! I want more speed!!!! lol My Sherman was in that one containers batch that had issues. Received a dead board on arrival. Jason, William and Drew immediately came to my rescue and now the issue is resolved. Jason even called me to help!!! Awesome!!! I LOVE THIS WHEEL compared to what I was using for last two years. (InMotion V5F) It was time for me to get a upgrade with my experience and I'm more than please with my purchase. It's heavy and YOU NEED SAFETY GEAR! Seriously. Make sure when you lift from both bars that you really bend down and straighten your back to lift. Hurt my back on the first day. I also ordered (not included) extra power pads, fender, seat, fast charger and a clear display cover. Recommend you order a fender at least and display cover if they have. I tested all settings on hard, med and soft. I prefer SOFT mode and I have to say........... I AM A SPEED DEMON!!! after riding the Veteran Sherman. Unbelievable feeling. Blood rushing adrenaline carving the coastline looking like BLADERUNNER 2021 from a oncoming drivers point of view. LMAO!!! Oh.... You may want to buy one sooner than later. Prices for EUC or PEVs will skyrocket. So hurry. Just saying. Almost forgot.......most important....... eWheels accepts CRYPTOCURRENCY!!!!!!!!! Way ahead of the game. Thank you Jason and staff!!!”
