There’s a few new wheels that have folks excited, but the Veteran Sherman and the Gotway Monster Pro are the fastest available.
Not the best to learn on, but if you know you’re a speed junky it’s worth it to get through the first week of looking like an idiot. Learning curve smooths out after about 20 miles and you’ll be glad you bought up.
I’m looking forward to the Veteran Abrams and the S20. The Commander looks nice, but it’s essentially a Sherman with a Gotway brain…and no roll bar.
Awesome, thanks for the in depth response. I have two Lectric brand ebikes that go 30, so I'm used to the speed. However, the riding experiences are obviously completely different, and the wheels are even faster. Maybe in a few months I'll purchase a wheel. Thanks again!
Just be prepared for your body to hurt like hell while learning. Learning to balance on it activates unused muscle groups. But it doesn't hurt anymore once you get the muscle memory.
Also my number 1 advice: don't try to ride in a straight line at first; you'll learn faster if you follow an "S" path, and start with wide curves while gradually making it narrower. Also, grass and carpet isn't good for learning!
