The smooth operator.

Having ridden over 1200km with this wheel, my affection for it remains strong. It offers a stable and smooth ride, akin to floating on a cloud. This wheel has become my go-to for daily commutes and leisurely rides, proving its versatility on both sealed and gravel surfaces with the C-186 tyre. Attention to tyre pressure is crucial; exceeding 31psi, especially for those 70kg or lighter, can lead to less precise turns. The included air shock pump is inadequate, and I advise investing in a superior one from a bicycle shop. The wheel's travel range suits the casual rider well—I cover 30km on my work commutes at speeds up to 45km/h, with the battery at 40% upon returning home. While the pads offer comfort, they lack support for the toes during jumps, leading to instability. The kill switch, activated by a touch sensor, can be a source of frustration, yet it's manageable. An adjustable pedal height would enhance maneuverability, preventing ground contact during sharp turns. The wheel's 100V system and 3500W motor deliver commendable power, though one may quickly adapt to it. Overall, this wheel excels in power, suspension, and design, offering an enjoyable and high-quality riding experience everywhere.
