Mten4 is a great companion wheel for me. I only commute by euc - even the mten4 being slightly larger and heavier than prior mtens, fits perfectly in my backpack and acts as a form of micromobility when I need to get around an area while I charge whatever bigger wheel I am riding. Its the perfect device for me and my use case and highly recommend the product. The value is there, the resale value will be maintained, solid Investment, super customizable. Control board is as easily accessible as an s18 or s22. This makes for easy, functional mods. There is an 84v pin for voltage display or step down converter to add additional function or power supply to other wheel electronics. The cover is a opaque black, so I mounted a matrix display from Amazon under the handle that runs in parallel off of the tail light matrix display.
The best part? There is no shell, no inner shell. The frame is welded metal. Super durable. Wheels with replaceable plastic chassis have a higher cost of ownership due to the susceptibility of damage to plastic chassis with no structural support support or rigidity evenly distributed.
This means less parts. Less parts means lower chances of needing to search and source replacement parts. Begode wheels are widely known to use parts that are hard to find, inaccessible, not made, or the quality is just bad.
Also, this is a great wheel to leave around when hanging out with other peb riders - it's very inviting for people. I'll bring it with to a group event, leave it out for people to grab and see folks start to jump on and see if they can learn to ride. Its very satisfying. It creates engagement with non euc riders I don't really see too frequently.
