The Mten5 is the latest addition to Begode’s small EUC offerings, succeeding the Mten4 in many ways, but also taking significant inspiration from the A2. At 41 pounds, it’s slightly heavier than the Mten4, but 10 pounds lighter than the A2, and still within a range for carrying over short distances when needed. With its 1200w motor, you can easily ride at 25mph on its 12 inch tire, and the 750wh battery will keep you going for 25-35 miles depending on riding style. Overall this EUC seems to have it all—speed, power, low weight, and Begode’s latest water-resistant technology. Keep reading to see what we like, and dislike, about the Mten5, and who we think this wheel is for.

Design
The design of the Mten5 is similar in most ways to the A2. There is a bright LED display on the top of the wheel which is easily readable, even in bright sunlight. The large headlight in the front is adjustable, and is quite bright for the size and speed of this wheel. Similar to the Begode ET Max, the acrylic sides to this EUC have lights inside them which aren’t noticeable in sunlight, but look really cool at night.

The wheel also comes with velcro pre-applied to the sides for easy application of the included power pads, which are much improved over pads previously included with Begode’s small wheels, and actually hold your legs in quite well. The rear has the same large brake light LED Panel as the Mten4 and the A2.

Tire and Pedals
The tire on the Mten5 is a 12×4 inch tubeless street tire, which provides quite a smooth ride, despite the lack of suspension on this wheel. The pedals returned to the fan favorite Begode Honeycomb pedals, which are thicker and more durable, while reducing foot fatigue significantly.

Build Quality and Form Factor
The Mten5 follows Begode’s recent trend of putting out wheels with high attention to detail and quality components. The Mten4 had a major problem of water ingress through the lazer cut “begode” on the front panel above the power button and charge port. The Mten5 has an official IP rating, with waterproofing on the motor, rubber seals and gaskets across the body.
It has also fixed the A2’s problem with water spraying up onto your feet from the sides and back of the wheel, as the acrylic panel now extends along the entire side, and the rear mudguard extends much lower. This can be a problem if you try to drop off a curb or sidewalk too slowly, but is fine as long as you’re going about 5mph or faster. The light is encased in a metal frame, protecting it from damage. The kill switch is helpfully located on the lift handle just like the Mten Mini, and the handle is quite secure.

The acrylic helps significantly with the weight management of this wheel. The wheel is light enough to carry when needed, which was our main complaint with 10-pound heavier A2. Additionally, the Mten5 features a telescoping trolley handle which folds down onto the top of the wheel. The handle works quite well, and we like that it doesn’t have to be purchased separately like the trolley handles for the Mten4 and A2. The magnets on the Mten5 trolley handle holding mechanism are quite strong, and it doesn’t jiggle around when riding on rougher terrain.
The one complaint we have on the form factor of this EUC is that while the acrylic side panels reduce weight, it does skew the weight towards the top of the EUC, which is noticeably taller than the Mten4. This wheel is similar to the Begode Master in that the high weight distribution takes some getting used to, particularly when cornering.

Performance
For its size, the 30mph top speed feels blistering, and this is certainly more than enough speed for commuting and shorter rides. The battery isn’t huge, but the 750wh spec has proved itself over several generations of Begode wheels as the perfect compromise between size, weight, and performance. The 50s battery cells on this wheel allow it to get a higher usable range than the A2 and Mten4 with their 50e cells, even while riding at higher speeds. Additionally, the 1200w motor has noticeably more power than those wheels, allowing it to accelerate more quickly and conquer larger hills and carry loads with ease, making this a better alternative to the Mten4 and A2 for heavier riders.
The Freshly Charged Take
In some ways, this wheel fills a niche in Begode’s lineup by being the lightest waterproof wheel that they produce. Its performance is fantastic for its size, and represents a significant speed and range upgrade from the Mten4 and A2. While previously the choice between the A2 and Mten4 was mostly a choice of portability or waterproofing, the Mten5 solves this problem by giving you both perks.
However, the wheel being taller and a little bulkier than the Mten4, it’s even more difficult to put this into a backpack or carry onto public transportation, which was already more difficult with the Mten4 than with the Mten3. This leads us to question who this wheel is really made for. It’s bigger than we’d like a purely commuting wheel to be, but not big enough for serious riding with its 12in tire, lack of suspension, and smaller motor/battery. In other words, while its best use case is as a short range commuter wheel, we would always rather take the Mten4 if the weather isn’t too wet. The tire and larger form factor also remove some of the playfulness and responsiveness that we loved from the Mten4.
Overall, the Mten5 feels like a refined version of the A2 which is trying to be the Mten4, but in its attempt to improve usability with the larger tire, it loses some of the fun and character that the Mten3 and Mten4 have made us expect from Begode’s smallest wheels. This wheel is made for ultimate functionality, but is maybe the jack of all trades and the master of none.
