Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the K6 Max worth considering over something like a stand-up electric scooter, or EUC? The K6 Max offers a unique ride experience that nothing else can provide, it's hard to convey the level of acceleration it's capable of without an in-person demo, but nothing else even comes close. Most EUCs fall flat in this regard, and the addition of a second wheel greatly improves stability and provides reassurance. Stand-up scooters are prone to the issues that come with a high center of mass, even with seat add-ons. If you're looking to maximize smiles-per-mile, without compromising on speed, stability, or performance, look no further than the K6 Max!

Is the K6 Max made by Begode? Extreme Wheel technically began as a brand under the Begode umbrella, and the K6 Max uses Begode's controller and firmware architecture. However, the K6 Max specifically is now produced and managed by a separate entity, who continues to work on improving the K6 Max over what Begode was previously offering on the K6 (non-Max). As such, aftersales service and support is also superior to what Begode was able to offer.

What's the top speed? Is it really 75mph? Yes, the K6 Max is able to achieve 75mph depending on how it's configured. By default, in ride mode 2 (the faster of the two modes), it can reach 60mph, but the app can be used to adjust what's called field weakening, which sacrifices torque at higher speeds for a higher maximum wheel speed. Stronger field weakening will drain the battery faster, but allow for a higher top speed.

How do the ride modes work? Ride mode 1 is limited to 31mph, but it allows you to enable adjustable regenerative braking and cruise control. The throttle will also control your target speed, rather than target power. This mode is ideal for busy areas, where controlling speed and conserving battery is important. Ride mode 2 unlocks the full speed and power of the K6 Max, but due to controller limitations, regenerative braking and cruise control are disabled. In this mode, the throttle controls how much power the motors are allowed to draw, similar to a car's accelerator pedal.

Is the app required to change all of the settings? Settings on the K6 Max are split between the button cluster, and the app. Ride mode, regenerative braking strength, and cruise control can only be set using the button cluster, while the speed display units, speed alarms, and field weakening can only be adjusted using the app.

What charger comes in the box? Is fast-charging possible? A 5A charger is included in the box, which will charge the K6 Max from 0-80% in around 5 hours, with a full charge taking around 6-6.5 hours. Fast charging up to around 15A is possible, faster charging is prevented at the BMS/hardware level.

Features of the K6 Max

Powertrain

The K6 Max is one of the fastest-accelerating two-wheeled vehicles on the market, thanks in large part to its two powerful high-torque motors, rated for putting out 3.5kW each! Typically when using motors designed for this much torque, top speed takes a hit. However, this compromise is sidestepped entirely on the K6 Max by using 134V system voltage, allowing for much higher rotational speeds than what you'd see on traditional 84V scooters or dirtbikes that claim to be at the top end of the performance ladder. Providing that 134V is a massive 3,500Wh battery pack, built from high-performance Samsung 50S cells, which have both excellent capacity and discharge capabilities. The result is a maximum riding speed of up to 75mph (GPS verified) depending on your field weakening configuration, achievable in just a few seconds, rivaling the acceleration performance of some sports cars!

Display & Controls

A large built-in display provides all of the essential information beneath the prominent speedometer in the center. You can quickly view your battery level, ride mode, controller temperature, and total mileage ridden. The K6 Max also offers adjustable regenerative braking and cruise control settings in ride mode 1 of 2, which are configurable using the left button cluster, with feedback on the display to indicate your current settings.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

With this much power on tap, it's important to be able to stop just as quickly. The K6 Max uses heavy-duty hydraulic disc brakes in the front and rear, for excellent stopping power. The brake lever handles are also adjustable to suit a wide variety of hand sizes, and the mounting brackets include mounting points for rear-view mirrors, making installation easier. The single-piston calipers are as easy to service as traditional motorcycle brakes, designed to accept standard DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid.

Tires & Stability

Most powerful electric scooters stick to smaller tire sizes, like 90/65-6.5, which aren't the most confidence-inspiring at higher speeds. By contrast, the K6 Max uses extra-large 125/90-7 street tires, which provide a rock-solid feeling at any speed, all the way up to 70+mph. Its low center of gravity is also a major contributor to stability, as all of the heavy components are mounted low to the ground, and the go-kart-like seating position keeps your weight further to the ground than anything else with two wheels.

Lighting

One of the upgrades to the K6 Max over the regular K6 is an improved headlight, which throws more light further and wider for improved visibility while riding at night. The adjustable-angle rear seat also includes an integrated taillight which flashes when the brakes are applied, which is a welcome safety feature given the K6 Max's low ride height. Taillight brightness has also been slightly improved over the regular K6, with slots in the rear panel to allow more light to shine through.

App Connectivity

The K6 Max supports connectivity with the Begode app, for changing various settings and viewing ride information, including a more granular battery percentage and voltage readout. Speed alarms can be enabled or disabled, the display can be switched between mph and kph, and you can adjust your field weakening strength to determine your maximum achievable speed in ride mode 2. Other app features include toggling the headlight, and installing firmware updates, although doing so typically isn't recommended unless instructed otherwise.
