Mine arrives tomorrow! Very excited to zip around short distance rides on it where my Commander Mini would be overkill.

Exactly my case as well!
What's not to like... it's a well thought out wheel, and I reckon Begode will sell a lot of them! Great video... all the familiar faces and a couple of new ones. Love you guys 🥰
The background conversations are awesome.Listen carefully for somebody being explained what a motorbotor is.😊
"Rub a little preparation H on the trolley handle and you're good to go." 😂
ya'll crazy. love it!
I'm getting mine soon and will use it as my Bodega Wheel for small errands and such.
so happy to see a small EUC well equipped ! it goes right into the meaning of what EUC should be ( for me ) small, practical and still with some good specs!
I bought one for offroad. I unboxed mine from eWheels a few days ago. I have no complaints except for the Trolly handle. I wish they kept the one from the prototype, I'm not a fan of the Begode design but that's just personal opinion, metal can still look cheap, and hinder seat attachment in some cases. It would be better if it locked opened as well. I crashed the Falcon twice already (once from trying to learn to sit and once from cut out , I think, because the road was clean I was trying to go 20+ mph around 30% + - battery, in race mode) Anyway all that to say that the handle is loose now because it's connected to the body through a large array of failure points(screws). It's not a huge deal obviously, but it sucks that the 6 screw heads at the front control the position of the trolley handle relative to the lock above the tail light in the back. I would like the entire handle setup to telescopic and vertically incased within the back. So it is protected and out of the way, unless I need it. As for other things. After a few months I plan on getting a hole saw bit for a drill and some waterproof grommet or similar to cap the holes I'll be drilling in the top of the plastic cover above the suspension adjustment, so I can maintain waterproofing and still be able to access the dials inside whenever I want, without tools. In regards to the stock pads, I don't mind them but I have small feet. I will be replacing them with Mini Grizzla pads maybe. I'm not sure yet. But I will say that for me the stock pads would be fine if they protruded from the sides further. The braking pad is not wide enough, and I guess the Toe gap could be a little more spacious vertically, but as much as I've rode it (20 miles) I think it is okay for me. But the pads are definitely for Asian sizes or children. All in all pretty good wheel. Would buy again.

Good feedback. Thanks for sharing
Cool wheel!
How does it compare to the S18 . Same weight, battery and a little bigger motor.
Hey Marty I recommend adding Begode in the title - didn't show up in search results.
Awesome 😎 thanks Marty!!🙏
Thanks Marty!
1200 and I am sold. I have a t4 pro and this could be my super last mile commuter
Looks amazing. Very hopeful this will be one of those legendary ones.😌👍
too expensive for Canadian wont pay near 3k for that A2 is 1400$ order from Lem. Thank you Marty for recommending him hes really nice!

Was A$2899 in Australia but I think they dropped the price $100 recently. I will wait a while to see if it comes down some more after the initial interest wear off.

@@ElectricUnicycles they drop it it was 2600$ 2 days ago when i check aliexpress if i buy from ewheels or alienrides its 2900$ with shipping and tax/duties.
Would love to see more wheels this capable that are this size. Gonna be the perfect starter wheel for alot of people that will still be worth keeping. Edit: Rode one I love it and want one now. So much power for how small it is. It's like if an EUC was a skateboard.
Looks like a great wheel for me. If I get a new EUC this year the Falcon is the one. 😄
Interesting your comments on tire pressure. Rafael ( Bonheur sur Seine) found it unstable at 32psi but much better at 22psi. Exactly the psi you preferred.
Too bad those power pads didn’t come stock with the wheel because they felt good and looked awesome with the matching color
For the Falcon, it's probably best to try and print your own Pads
Dont know for sure but its likely, preload is adjusted with diff spring weights. Too bad I'd have to wait til one of the local crew gets it to try it out. Should be a great replacement for the Assassin 'cept for the much steeper pricing
It's time to make mounted batteries. Here he will stand up from the top and at the same time can be a seat.😉
I want those pads 😳

Is this the smallest/lightest wheel with suspension?

Yes
Got mine yesterday evening road for about a half hour. Wow does it feel strange. I am used to my king song 16 s. The pedals are twice as high off the ground. It starts chirping at me every time I go 25 Mi an hour

If you're not used to Begode wheels, you probably have to disable the first two speed alarms. It should not beep at 25 mph
Is it possible to ride it 'bottomed out' / no sus? a2 is 1k watt and this is 2800 like the t4

You can ride any suspension wheel 'locked-out" if you make the mechanical changes to do so. This would be a user mod though
Which wheel would you recommend between the S16 & The Falcon? I'm having a hard time deciding....
@ElectricUnicycles
11 күн бұрын
Depends on your use case. The S16 is a faster wheel, has cool lights, longer range. The Falcon has a better suspension, is more powerful (not faster), is much more nimble, and is smaller and lighter. If you do get the S16 be sure to buy the Pro version.

Thanks Marty. I've been riding an mten3 for several years. 99% of the time off road (grass,gravel and dirt.) I really need suspension and something that will not dump me on my face every time I hit a pothole in my lawn. Lol I'm 50 and and it s getting harder to pick myself up after a spill. Thanks for all the videos....

@@christophertricas9065 I think the Falcon will fit your needs nicely then. Buy it with the knobby tire for sure. P.s. a big enough pothole can still dump you 🙂 but certainly less likely with the much bigger tire of the Falcon.
Bonjour, est-il exact que le Falcon épouse trop le devers de la chaussée ( comme la Z10 de chez Ninebot) ce qui surprend et est très désagréable (sans doute un effet de la largeur du pneu tubeless) ?
@ElectricUnicycles
10 күн бұрын
Absolutely not
would this be a good first wheel? or anything out there that would be a better contender?
@ElectricUnicycles

Certainly a very good first wheel that won't break the bank. The KingSong S16 could be another option.
What is the bag Dawn is wearing on her hip?

Reach out to Dawn on her channel
Is it true that the Falcon hugs the side of the road too much (like the Z10 from Ninebot) which is surprising and very unpleasant (probably an effect of the width of the tubeless tire).

No, nothing like the Z10. It's the same tire that's on the A2.
