I tried the ET Max. It felt a lot like riding my EX30, except that it was more powerful and easier to turn with the narrower rim. It was incredibly well balanced and stable. I did some hard acceleration and braking and had no wobbles whatsoever. Unlike the EX30, the ET Max didn't feel like it needed any aftermarket mods to unlock the potential. This is perhaps the first big wheel from Begode that seems like a finished product. I was so tempted to buy one and fell in love with it instantly. I do wish it had a bit more range, though.

I started riding EUC's about 2 months ago. My first was an Inmotion V8S. I got instantly hooked on riding. It's a great wheel because it's so portable and for it's size it's quite the performer. It still left me wanting for more speed and range. Every wheel seemed to have its pros and cons, except the Lynx, so I ordered one. It's so very different. It's heavy by comparison and it took some getting used to. The suspension is great and having power pads makes it more comfortable. I'm still in the re-learning stages of this wheel but it seems to do everything I ask of it. I feel like I have mastery over the V8S and still ride the heck out of it. Bottom line is the Lynx is a beast of a wheel and I don't think I will ever outgrow it.

I have both and I prefer the lynx for offroad and urban riding. ET max is great for straightaway sprinting but i find that boring. If I had to choose one wheel, it would definitely be the Lynx. The new firmware for acceleration is amazing, also.

One big thing to consider is "how much can we trust these wheels?"

A friend is currently in negotiations with begode for a bribe to cover up another wheel 🔥

They have done this many times

Leaperkim has never done this

Very well put together video, thanks for your hard work

[danielbuxton]

I watch a lot of YouTubers . Your content and cadence is the best !

[naincarmona]

Nice vid, I was myself wondering, what if I would've gotten the ET max instead... I'm 100% happy now for choosing the Lynx ✌️

My lynx has a street tire so 55mph (on its speedo) is stable as long as you are. The only issue i've had has been with the trolley handle getting stuck in the out position, which is apparently a common problem as ewheels had a kit ready to mail out as a fix when i mentioned it.

I don't usually enjoy reviews that have no actual riding content... but, I really enjoyed this review/comparison. Great work!!

On my Lynx I took that dang kickstand off and then used a Dremel tool to shorten the rear fender. Lowered and installed E ride pedals, oversized jump pads from EUC clubhouse, and got rid of the Kenda tire and installed a Shinko 244. It is an awesome ride!

[calculatorade]

Great video. I watched your last video about the Lynx too. Also great. Learned a lot. I can't wait to get a modern EUC.

[deadbluesky]

I did put a Michelin pilot street 2 on my Lynx and this is day and night compared to the original street tire... the wheel is more nimble, stable and more aggressive during carving i also didn't have any problem going offroad with this tire unless it is really full of mud but i can manage.
I did try the ET Max and i was impress with the power and the stability of the wheel also the quality build is outstanding for a Begode wheel i also do like the front led light while there is nothing on the Lynx as day light the Lynx flood light is awesome in the woods but it blind driver on the street. The plastic on the ET Max is a lot cheaper than the Lynx the front bumper did crack on my first and only fall...
BTW my knee is kinda heal and im happy to be back on riding even tho is hurt a little.

I ride at 55 to 62 mph daily on the lynx, no wobbles, stock knobby kenda. I'm 230 lbs.

If you have pedals with nubs you can take a cutting disc for the dremel and cut horizontal notches and it makes them 1000× better. Excellent video Rob!!

[twerd]

Good video and information. Still rocking the Sherm S but looking forward to the generation after this one. EUCs keep getting better!

[GenghisKhan]

Glad i bought the lynx i rode etmax other day like the lynx better so did the guy with the etmax. He said he was getting one

[kutvis]

Thank you for the video, by comments I see you have order Shinko 244. I have ridden with this tire on my Master and I absolutely love it. Shinko 244 gives so much more gyro force over normal knobby, nowhere near a street tire though!

Going to put it in my Lynx and was thinking if I need to shave the sides, in Master I had it with spacers.

An idea for a content: How to fit Shinko 244 into Lynx, do we need to shave it? Mention about the "hair" in the tire which should be clipped away to reduce noise + possibility to grind on inner shell.

Just ordered the ET Max this past weekend; had the Patton before that. Definitely wanted more stability and wanted higher speeds, so I’m pumped to go on my first ride with it.

I honestly like how Begode takes time after the release to update firmware with their wheels; you get to see and feel the progress. Similar to updating a Tesla with a performance package!

Speaking of upgrades, how would I go about finding that 900lb spring for it? I know that eWheels provides it but I ordered from Alien Rides, and I can’t seem to find the 900lb spring on its own to purchase.

[BunnyslippersEUC]

I think it is wishful thinking, wanting Begode to add high acceleration from standstill. Because if Begode could, they would already have released a wheel that could surpass the Patton or Lynx for instant acceleration. I am still waiting.

To the EX30, they added fieldweakening. But that lowers the torque/acceleration and increases the topspeed.

My Abrams accelerates faster than my EX30 from standstill. So Begode needs to do a lot of work on the firmware.

[cameron]

did they ever put out that software update for acceleration that you were looking for?
