Dominate the Streets: Kingsong S22 - 130mm Suspension, 3300W Motor, and 200km Range

๐Ÿš€ Unveiling the King Song S20: A Revolution in Electric Unicycles! ๐Ÿš€

Buckle up, riders! The King Song S20, successor to the Ducati-inspired S18, is here to redefine electric unicycles. Let's dive into the details of this two-wheeled sensation that has taken the EUC community by storm.

King Song S20 Specs:

  • Suspension: 130 mm travel, adjustable dampening, and rebound

  • Motor: 3300 W

  • Top Speed: 70 km/h

  • Battery: 2220 Wh

  • Range: 200 km

  • Voltage: 126 V

  • Weight: 77 lbs

The S20 boasts a bold black and red color scheme, continuing King Song's legacy as the best-looking EUC. But does its performance match the hype?

Aesthetics vs Durability:

๐ŸŒŸ Aesthetics:

The S20 is a visual delight, turning heads with its sleek design. However, the elephant in the room is durability. Despite its beauty, the S20 can be a bit delicate, with plastic parts prone to cracking on impact.

๐Ÿ” Durability:

Aesthetics clash with durability as the S20 reveals a bit of a glass jaw. Cracked plastic pieces after a rough tumble? Handle with care, beauty lovers!

๐Ÿค” Verdict:

It's a tough call between delicate and sexy versus durable and sturdy. King Song is addressing durability concerns, aiming to make it as tough as it is good-looking.

Stock Pads:

๐Ÿ”’ Locked-in Feeling:

The S20 pads are a visual and tactile delight, backed by hard red plastic. They provide the best stock pads ever, offering a locked-in feeling for riders.

๐Ÿ”„ Limited Positioning:

Designed for looks rather than function, the pads limit positioning due to the red plastic boomerang. But fear not – unscrew that boomerang, and customization options are wide open for Ride Often Club members!

Ride Feel:

๐Ÿค– Suspension:

The S20 boasts easily adjustable suspension, providing the smoothest EUC ride ever. Potholes, bumps, and curbs become features, not obstacles. Even conservative riders are feeling the joy.

๐Ÿ›ฃ️ Range:

Sacrificing distance for suspension and aesthetics, the range is just okay. Marathon riders might be less thrilled, but for others, it offers a satisfying ride. Your mileage may vary.

๐ŸŽ️ Throttling:

Speed demons beware! Initial acceleration is throttled for electrical system protection. Once rolling, it's a swift and smooth ride.

Sounds:

๐Ÿ“ข Beeps:

Loud beeps keep riders in check, warning against pushing too hard or running low on juice.

๐ŸŽต No Music:

Sadly, no built-in speakers mean riders need a portable Bluetooth speaker for ride tunes. Safety first, right?

๐ŸŽ‰ Other Sounds:

Vibrating noises during acceleration and braking – is it the motor, suspension, or a dance party combo?

Display:

๐Ÿ’ผ Simple and Beautiful:

The S20's display keeps it classy with a retro dot matrix vibe – bright and easy to read.

๐Ÿง Positioning:

However, the display's top rear placement requires riders to look down further than usual for speed checks. Safety-conscious riders, take note!

Headlights:

๐Ÿ’ก Bright and Adjustable Lights:

Headlights on point! Bright and adjustable beam angles – they're like the high beams of EUCs.

๐Ÿšซ Fragile Lights:

Hold on, though. These lights are made of brittle plastic and exposed, making them prone to shattering in a fall.

Kickstand:

๐Ÿค˜ Super Stable:

Best kickstand stability ever encountered – a rock star in the kickstand world.

๐Ÿ’” Super Fragile:

Yet, the plastic foot is as brittle as glass. Go easy on drops, or it might snap. Regular stairs? No problem.

Seated Riding:

๐Ÿช‘ Comes with a Seat:

The S20 comes with a good-looking, velcro-attached seat for those chill rides.

๐Ÿšฝ Squatty Potty:

Elevated pedal heights might give taller riders a squatty potty feeling. Bend those knees, folks!

Charging:

๐Ÿ”Œ 5 Amp Charger:

Cheers for a 5 amp charger – none of that slow-charging nonsense. Dual ports for double trouble.

๐Ÿ™ˆ Blind Access Charging:

Finding those charging ports hidden on top requires blind reaching. Practice makes perfect, right?
