  1. Past hour
  2. After watching the revealing video on the design of the V14 sliders, which are dry-lubed (not wet-lubed), and for those who have not had the ownership experience of an S22 with stock sliders, you people will soon understand. Using grease is not the solution. But most importantly, Inmotion lied about using motorcycle grade sliders in the V14.
  3. Imagine police ticketing a kid riding those 1mph motorized tiny kids cars. They don't do that so every officer has a line that when you cross it you become ticket-able. Show up with a Sherman or a V8 could make all the difference. Sadly, and this is going to sound controversial, the more gear you wear the more you look like you're going fast and far. So my way of thinking applies to gear aswell. Full face helmet bearers will get ticketed before a bike helmet rider. This is why I ride with minimal gear riding the most toy-ish looking wheels (with the most power) at speeds that won't kill me if I fall. Then you'll ride with the least amount of hassle. For me these are wheels like Kingsong 16S, V8, Tesla, 18XL, MCM5. My guilty pleasure is my MSX. I look at it like this. An Msx for a 65kg rider is of similar power/torque that of a Lynx for a 120kg rider. Let the larger guys ride the monster wheels and get the cops used to seeing them. Sure they'll get 90% if the tickets but they're doing the community a great favor.
  4. Wow I did not expect so many comments. Thx guys for your advices. I still use EUC as a transport to office or grocery and I still like it more than walking;). I also like Your idea about trying onewheel, I think I will go for that. Learning backwords or jumping also gave me some fun but it is not something I want to master. From all the comments that one really hit me „I get nostalgia from the beginning when I felt like I was flying on EUCs, with a sens of freedom like nothing else.” Thx
  5. It is hard to not give Leaper Kim credit for bringing out a suspension system design for euc's that's simply makes the most sense when compared to the linkage suspension designs we have witnessed so far. However, on hindsight, after seeing Begode's and Inmotion's attempt at suspension designs, since by the Grace of God, and hence, the invention of roller sliders, Kingsong suspension design may have to be begrudgingly considered legit.
  6. Power/Side-Pads on a Z10? I've searched a few times haven't found a single one with pads yet. I know it's an old wheel and all but I can't help but wonder why I can't find any? Would it be worth it?
  7. In your jurisdiction, the Motor Vehicle Act does not permit people to use devices such as solowheels, hoverboards or electric skateboards and unicycles on public roads, including bike lanes and sidewalks. The law doesn't specify allowances for the size of the EUC. If you're ticketed, you can always make your size argument to the judge in court. Contact your local politician and ask them to support changing the law.
  8. There was a time before pads where it required riding skill to emergency stop and torque a wheel.
  9. Yesterday
  10. An idea I had with the Mten3 was to mod its battery pack by placing the cells into 2 powerbanks that slide out. That would be pretty cool.
  11. Next time you see one family of 4 using powerbanks, that's the equivalent of three Mten Minis on the plane. I wonder what that Kingsong basketball was running. Clearly not for outside use though, is it?
  12. Okok. Fair enough. A very common 20000mAh powerbank is 74Wh though. A 30000mAh is 111Wh. The Mten Mini is quite amazing that it can run off a "~25000mAh powerbank". The cells inside are connected in series instead of parallel, like those car starter units with a high power output.
  13. Your user name explains your adversion to pads, one mtb trail . Also I dont see how ANYONE can emergency stop without pads to torque the wheel. I dont consider pads an accessory or compensation. Riding without pads on these faster wheels is argubly unsafe.
  14. Wow looks like the sliders are very similar to Begode system, that is terrible, and people complain about the maintenance on the S22. 🙄
  15. Admittedly the Grizzla fairings are best value as part of the whole fairing kit (in the case of mine at least), which also got me front and rear / handles / bumpers. It would be quite a lot of holes to drill to make it fit all that, then to finish them nicely, bevel all the edges, 3D print the spacers, and even provide nice circular velcro toppers for the screws, which they also provide, usually in a variety of different bespoke lengths. That's quite a lot of work to be doing yourself, and of course if you enjoy that sort of thing why then the hell not, but I was very happy to hand 'em 100 quid to just have them be right and ready to go !
  16. Yes, it "clicks" out if enough force is applied. Sending wheel back to the store next week. Hopefully they can fix the battery issue
  17. new trails, new spills. 66lb lynx rides the ranch.
  18. Even if they did try to ticket for riding a small wheel what could they charge with?
  19. So lazy people who can't draw a straight line? just jk! But I almost collapsed when I saw the price for fairings. $70 for what is essentially a piece of plastic with holes and velcro? All the materials by themselves can't be more than $40
  20. This video examines specifically the suspension issues with the V14. The time stamp shows how in one case, the sliders in a V14 are worse than what I have seen with my S22 out-of-the-box with stock sliders.
  21. Anything smooth and solid and not too heavy that won't split or crack in small falls, and which takes adhesive well should do it. I've seen plexi used, PET of various thicknesses, delrin and even hardwood over the years ! The thing you pay your 80-100 dollar for is having it cut precisely to shape and drilled in all the right places and velcro applied properly !
  22. Yeah. That or Lexan. Its the same I believe. I am surprised none of the bigger accessory companies haven't offered more fairing plates. I think it opens up alot of possibilities for different pad options.
  23. Don't know where you got that from? High speed mode is field weakening, simple explanation it trades more current for higher speeds at the end of the speed curve, has no effect at lower speeds.
  24. I was thinking either plexiglass or maybe even like a plastic panel from ace for like storms and just cutting it to size? anyone try this? I am not paying $80-$100 for two flat pieces of plastic with velcro
  25. Seems to me that "high speed mode" allows to push more power from Lynx even at lower speeds, according to not correct EUC world. Does anybody know what that high-speed mode is in technical terms? Seem to me, it bumps max phase current with field weakening. I have already 1k km on 50E Lynx, it can go aprox. 70 km 40km/h+ with 80 percent of battery / 20 left( high speed on + low battery off). The range could be better but so far it rides without any service needed as taken from the box. Begode should learn from this. I am curious how many more KM I can ride before something breaks (that moment must come with every EUC:D). What is your mileage guys?
  26. Fun which is accompanied by the occasional bit of "spiciness" to let you know you're still alive! Most 'bang-ups' for me at this point (still less than a year riding EUC, but I go out most days) tend to be related to 'pushing-the-envelope' (mud-to-concrete transition issues notwithstanding)....But again - that's where the fun calls "Home"! ^This. So much of this. I'm down to only about ~12 hours per day now, but that's due to a conscious intent to prioritize family considerations (e.g. - I refuse to travel for work anymore except on rare occasions, etc.). One of the (several) reasons I greatly prefer summertime/night riding is that it really expands the availability to get out and ride after the kids are in bed...
