    I printed another file that replaces the whole jump pad, but the part that attaches to the wheel is kind of flimsy in TPU, as compared to the original. I like the looks of this design, which just covers the original parts, which will make the pads more stable. I'll have to give this one a try

    My ks s16 BMS update was rough,, I got an email from ewheels telling me to update the BMS immediately because flawed firmware will make my cells go to zero rendering the battery useless, during the update it stopped twice, I had to restart,, eventually it went through and it updated to the latest BMS firmware 188 ,, I'm glad I didn't have to go through this

    I had the same issue with the BMS 1.85 and there was only one battery pack that had a problem so I reset the BMS only on the one that had a problem. Since I had tried to downgrade the BMS to 1.82 and it didn't do it on the BMS in problem so when the reset was done and the wheel was up, I had to do the firmware 1.82 install so that the 2 BMS were at the same version. The problem with the firmware is that in the Kingsong App, it tells you that a newer version exist and you can install or cancel the firmware update. But when you use an iPhone/iPad with the SoftTuner App, you can upgrade/downgrade any of the firmware but you see that those latest versions are beta versions, so I guess you don't ever upgrade a BMS to a beta version. I did the display firmware upgrade to get the right display that I wanted, speed on top with the battery life on the bottom. With older display firmware, you would only see the battery life when the wheel stoped.

    The S16 is a puzzling wheel, on the outside it looks like KS is upping their game, but after some use and disassembly, it clearly has a lot of vestiges of EUCs made 2-3+ years ago. It's like a pig with makeup. That's too bad, it seemed really promising.

      That's a tough call. You really can't go wrong with any wheel. I do think the S16 is a more approachable first wheel and is certainly capable enough (do get the Pro version if you go that route). Depending on your ultimate needs you will outgrow either wheel.

      Maybe watch again and listen to what I said with a more critical ear and be willing to give someone a little bit of slack. I'm not a KingSong hater and have continuously owned KingSong wheels for the last 8-years. "I think the S22 was the first KingSong wheel that allowed you to update the firmware via the app. I'm not positive about that" My exact words. I'm curious, you could update the KS14S firmware via their app? That was my 2nd wheel that I owned.

    In summary, the BMS wasn't really bricked. I guess it did not fully finished updating the BMS and the wheel was disturbed probably by turning it off/on and failed to fully reboot. There was no trade secret, Roger even mentioned that he really didn't do anything on the wheel and he just updated the firmware using a different device and the BMS got updated. It's just like updating a smartphone, sometimes it will tell you that the phone will turn on and off several times and it's perfectly normal so don't disturb the process and wait for the update to complete.

      I've been thinking about the cost question. Factoring in inflation, the cost of the Falcon is only slight more then the most expensive wheel that you could buy 8-years ago. Yet the quality and capability of the Falcon so much more that what you could buy 8-years ago. Objectively I don't think it can be called expensive for what it is.

    I want the Falcon so badly, but my family won't let me have it eversince I mention that I wanted a euc. I had injured my back work related in 2016 and was out from walking for about 5 years, and when I finally was able to walk again and started light working moving around but couldn't stand for a long time. I was barely able to get my family to budge on me riding again on my motorsickle. Well, riding a motorsickle is a little easier since I can sit on it while riding unlike a unisickle. I told them I would get a seat for the falcon and I could ride sitting down. They wouldn't budge. I wouldn't mind not really getting it, but right meow my motorsickle got a flat, and I"m kind of on a budget so it's going to be a little whiles till I can replace my rear tire. I was thinking of getting the Falcon so I can have a backup in riding. I"m going to try to persuade my family to let me get the Falcon.
