i am intermediate rider. i love this S18 & very satisfied with what it delivers. If its just for fun riding, simple off-road & not for extreme riding, this wheel has it all. The handle is its weak point. Mine broke (not because of a fall, just by using it) & i cannot use it to lift the wheel up. Overall a wonderful machine for beginners ( i started on this S18) to middle level riders.

seems hard to beat when you can get it for under 1300$ cad for the molicel version in 2024, anything comparable is easily 2x the money.

I got mine a few weeks ago as my second wheel after learning on a Ninebot S2. I love the S18 so far, just the right combination of performance, comfort and portability. And it obviously looks great. My other option was a Gotway RS but I think it would have been too heavy to carry up the stairs as I live in a second floor flat.

Go vid👍
I started out with V10F, than got an MSP. So now I'm looking for suspension. S18 might be a good place to start.
Cheers

OK great video, I'm a proud owner of the EX.N and Sherman MAX and am very happy with but... I need a smaller and more nimble EUC for short shopping trips, etc. I like the suspension idea, and you added many points to the list of why I would or will buy the S18 as my third EUC. Thanks for the video and ideas. For the speed, I use EX.N for the long rides Sherman, and S18 will be my urban form of transport. Stay safe, ride fast and have fun.

I following along behind you, got an excellent deal on a V8s after watching a lot of EUC content. For me personally, I’m not super interested in off-roading beyond simple trails, so I’m not as sure about the necessity of suspension. Where the s18 loses me a bit is on range and top end speed. In my mind at least, when I upgrade I see it expanding out how far I ride, so I’d probably want some more range, and I live in a suburban area that has a war on pedestrians, so going far means no sidewalk on some busy and fast roads. I’d want some speed to get off those as quickly as possible. I was eyeing a v12 before the deal on the v8s made me jump in early. I’ll master it and see how I feel. Still, enjoyable video. You’ll probably want to revisit as you try more wheels, as it’s hard to affix numerical scores when you don’t have much to compare to.

I just got one as my first wheel. It's a bit intimidating at first due to it's size, but it has a great and crazy comfortable ride. Very happy with everything but the braking performance. However, being my first wheel, maybe the braking is similar and not amazing on all EUC's.

The S18 is one of the most iconic EUCs of all time. However, the newly released Begode Falcon will likely replace the S18 as the ideal portable suspension EUC.

i had the s22 not a fan the s18 checks all the boxes very nimble great ride height suspension is very good the heavier more powerful wheels are too bulky for offroad

[Roskellan]

I have the S18 and a 16X, the suspension is what makes the S18, I ride the 16X for the greater range and higher torque. I wont be parting with either of these wheels.

[looty_thejackrussell]

Have about 300 miles on my S18 and so very happy with it. Made my own pads and swapped the shock for a super soft ride. The most important aspect of the S18 to me is the suspension because I am a bit older and have weak knees, ankles and feet. My wife has major knee issues and is able to ride the S18 fine. Speed and high torque is low on my list of priorities. I have considered the V11 as a 2nd wheel, but I'd probably go with S18 molicel just because long term maintenance will be easier between the two wheels.

[kirenjattan]

I just got the v12ht. It's very hard to learn. I've only tried for 15 minutes so far. I bought it second hand, and gaffa taped it heaps for scratches. Getting over my fear of falling is the main thing. And the wobble is scary too.

[rcgldr]

One issue is that buying a S18 seems to be hit or miss in terms of issues, like the bolts on the suspension being so tight that the suspension won't move and that the bolt heads strip when trying to loosen them up. Another issue is the amount of maintenance, especially on S18's that arrive needing adjustments. One complaint is the suspension is too stiff to make much difference with small bumps, not much improvement in comfort for those small bumps, so it's mostly an advantage for off-road or going off curb's or down stairs. I'm wondering if there are vendors that will do a test setup and ride on an S18 before shipping it so that the buyer doesn't end up with issues on a new S18.

I love the look of the wheel but the speed and range let it down for me. I find in London traffic I need to be able to cruise at 50kph to stay with the traffic on many roads. I know the top speed of the wheel is 50kph but that's a "top speed" and it would depend on various factors (rider weight, incline, battery level etc). I' not a speed merchant, and prefer to stay at 40kph, but I ride on the road and feel safer if I can keep with the traffic at all times. I'd also find it limiting with the 1100Wh battery. I had a KS16S with an 840Wh battery and I found after a standard commute I'd need to recharge when I got home. With my Nikola Plus 1800Wh I can go for 3 or 4 days. It's certainly a stunning looking wheel and if you don't need to go fast or far then this would be an excellent wheel.

I appreciated your s18 video. Can you let me know where you got your helmet mirror from? I haven't found one of the size near me.- thanks

[louhansen]

I would take the s18 sliders over the rollers of the s22 any day

[zoendav]

Hi, I would like to know about Ks 18 the real autonomy? How many kilometers does it really do on a full charge? Then I would like to know if it is a means to rest assured or does it break often? Treating it well of course... Thanks and congratulations for the video!

[TeamBlindMouse]

Have you tried the molicel version. Whole different beast.

[sages]

I'm trying to decide in the s18 or the v11 for my first wheel 🤔
