Panther or Oryx

Ive got some money saved up now. And ive been looking a lot into both the Begode Panther and the Leaperkim Oryx(with not much as theyre both pretty new) and im having a hard time deciding. I hear the Oryx has a better battery but the vibe of the Panther with the lights and speakers feels a lot cooler. For anyone that has maybe gotten early access, can you compare and say how much better one is over the other? Cause if the build quality or the range is better enough, ill get the oryx but if its not much of a difference then the Panther.

Id appreciate any ones help! Ride safe🤙

Personally I don't care what you start with. As long as you know it's going to be a royal b****.

I started big (blitz )but your starting 40lbs heavier than my big and I wouldnt want to do that. Plus after starting with a heavy wheel I now want a light wheel like The aero or Patton s ideally some monster mix in between that has the power of the patton s and the weight of the aero.

Thinking you're going to go 50 mph in the first 6 months (ideally more) is asking for broken bones.

If you saved 4.5-5k once you can do it again after buying a more fun wheel. Don't get me wrong I love my Sherman l but seriously I really want my L along with a lighter wheel

That’s what I’ve been wanting as well. I just posted about this mix of EUCs in my recent posts: “dream euc.”

I would like the weight of a aero and the power and range of a Patton S.

So, something like a 60-70 lbs 18” wheel with a top speed of 45mph or 50mph, to cruise at city speeds of 30-40mph comfortably. Be able to do 25mi of range in those speeds.

I'd like it with 100mm (or more) suspension fork style coil oil for skateparks jump parks but yeah basically the same spec high pedals as well

You just described the rocket

Sorry let me finish, LeaperKim build quality 👍

Edit. Also the rocket has low pedals

The pedals are adjustable, the high position has plenty of clearance. I will definitely agree with you on the build quality thing though, while I do feel the rocket is built very well I don't think they used loctite on a single bolt on this damn thing 😂

I love it though, it's a fantastic addition to my stable with my Sherman L. The L is my fav but the rocket is so much more zippy and nimble.
