SHERMAN L- have we reached Peak EUC??

The Veteran Sherman L is bigger, faster, more powerful and expensive than any prior electric unicycle. But I think its also one of the least exciting wheel Leaperkim has released in recent years. This week, lets talk about the strange state of EUC new wheel releases!

Long Range wheels should come with a seat that can be fitted or removed as required. Additionally that seat should accomodate a charger if required. Certainly to be able to change a tube in the wild, easy wheel removal. IP rated of course, smart BMS, adjustable pedals for camber and height, good lights, good trolly handle, effective stand. Flat sides so pads can be anything required. When these things cost what they cost, would it be too much to ask for some merch, stickers, patch, branded cap, anything. Last but not least we break things - we want wheels to be manufacturer supported for years, long after they have been superceded by new models.

$ 5, 000 and doesn't come with a seat. I've never thought about that, but to be honest it's kind of f...up 😂

I was a bit disappointed too. We now have a wide selection of big, heavy, high-performance EUCs, but my dream wheel remains the OG Sherman. I'd love to see it in the same form factor, but with better waterproofing, a smart BMS, and a 2-inch suspension in the frame to absorb urban impacts. I'd even be willing to sacrifice 500Wh of battery capacity to keep it the same size.

as i occasionally do 100km + rides, the Lynx was missing just a bit of range so i was using my Sherman-S, the New Sherman-L will fill that gap perfectly !

[pevdummy]

Bro that wheel will roll without hall sensors. That is the biggest leap in tech EUCs have ever seen. How did you miss this.

[mightywind]

I've been riding a V12 for a while now. It was a great choice for a first wheel, and will still fill a niche, but I'm itching to upgrade.
I've been saving up for a Lynx, but I think I'll go with the L when I'm ready. I'm looking forward to more reviews though.
Thanks for what you do here, I always enjoy your videos. I can't believe that you are able to focus on your script so well while riding in traffic and avoiding pedestrians. Nice editing too!
It's a great format, interesting script flawlessly delivered in an engaging environment.
Nice work!

The Euc is a GREAT INVENTION and the leader in micro mobility. There is a lot of opportunity to grow . The people who have been riding for a while have become spoiled they need them to also fly at three thousand miles an hour. But the new people can appreciate a quality commuter wheel small and large that has versatility and able to go at least 35 miles an hour . Teach people how to ride safely young and old. Remember EUC riding is an acquired skill that I think people who have been riding for a while take for granted. Quality, long range, micro mobility is here to make an impact.

Honestly, I have had the OG Sherman and the now the Sherman S .. I don't need faster, or more range, or more suspension.. I'm fine driving the sherm s until it falls apart. It's pretty much all I would ever want out of an euc.

[joshuajones]

I feel like everyone is giving the Sherman L the meh award on innovation, but the added safety of the IT STAYS UPRIGHT WITHOUT A HALL SENSOR is No one else has done this or bothered to figure it out. While cutouts aren't as common these days, anything that improves safety is a big deal in my book. Getting dumped at the speeds that EUC's go these days is no small thing...especially for older riders who aren't going to tumble across 100 feet of pavement and then jump back up.

[grahamkearnon]

Up here in Vancouver, the euc is swamped by scooters 25:1. The local euc store is greedy & come the economy turn down will be gone.

[microMobilidade]

How is the Used EUC market going? The existence of it will give new customers peace of mind that these have at least some life quality and are resellable.

[tomnoyb]

Agreed. Begode MasterPro V3 has had 4.8kWh for many months. Long-range/big-people need more battery. It can be 120mi (200km) between hotels/charging opportunities in the Western US. 300lb riders need a lot more than 5kWh just to get from charging station to charging station. A 6-8 Amp charger integrated into a seat that clips securely onto EUC could be on the list. Noticing the lengthening stand(s); some cargo capacity (front and back) for long distance travel would be nice. Bike-packing is all the rage now. DJI just made an electric bike. EUC's are perfect for the market-space. EUC-camping/packing. Tubeless-tires goes without saying. One assumes the 7.2kWh, $7k tax-incentive will soon disappear, but it's the correct Whrs for the market.

I think, for the street rider, this does represent the penicle. Now, if Leaperkim can iterate it and get the weight back down to 90ish pounds (advancements in battery power density). Hopefully, Leaperkim will forgo the usual corporate cost reduction activities that reduce product quality. I still think a Lynx with quick attach, range extending, auxiliary batteries would be better than letting the wheel's base weight be 100+lbs.

Well, there is no much of a Sherman L, but a lot of personal thoughts, which I have for myself also. Would like to see a review of a wheel itself in future, for example what is in the box, can you ride trails with it, can you go offroading, can you just cruise at 60mph and for how long etc.

[Electric_roller]

These companies are insane asking $4000 and up for a….wheel? I own the commander pro and 3 other wheels and I will not be spending any more. You can buy a 250 cc Yamaha or Honda for less. Ridiculous seeing how they price themselves out

[jaredboulderterry]

It not easy to change a tube on a motorcycle tho... But I really want an Euc that is comparable to motorcycle comfortable cruising at 60+ . Big range. Not for everyone but I want a big cruiser that I could go across the state with.

[AereForst]

Initial reviews suggest that the Sherman L has more than just a better battery.

[russellzauner]

Time to build a trailer hitch for EUC so I can road trip it!

[kwk]

Speed demon here...
For me personally the current wheels are still to slow with to small battery packs to keep the fun for a longer time.

Master pro is good for me just 60 miles till 0%. Fun factor is at only first 13 miles then the power output is to low
