this thread reminds me: I'm jealous of my kids who zip around with their lower body weight! I have an IPS Lhotz: fun wheel, 16", good for off-road however, It is a shadow next to my Gotway MSuper2. The power, torque, and 18" wheel are a great ride. I haven't been riding much distance outside of the driveway lately, but I'd like to get back to commuting on the EU I am 180 lb 6 ft and both of the above choices worked, the Gotway just had so much more power.

Hi! Enjoy your new wheel! Was visiting Goucher College with family recently, used to go to school in Baltimore, that's a nice area! Live in Central PA now, but hoping to make the trek down for a DC ride: have never been part of a ride group greater than 2 people before.

In the extreme cold (USA, mind you, not Finland!) I note that my batteries and tire pressure are unpredictable. I warm the EU up inside, I check pressure frequently, and I accelerate/decelerate gently, riding with gear ready for the fall!

@EUC Extreme Wow, Vee, that was incredible! Beautiful cinematography, and beautiful riding! Glad you have some sun!

Ah! there it is! No surprise to find that you had it clocked! (With drop/extract accurate to your favorite parking spot.) I'm jealous of your weather, compared to Pennsylvania, but I've got no excuse to complain with the frozen lake tours that @Kells is posting!

Great video! I appreciate your skillz with overlays and maps. It was a good patrol. As one guy with OCD I was going to commend your OCD level of detail (until I saw that the figure of eights on basketball court had not been mapped out. (jk!)

Congrats, @lebowitz ! I have been following this thread as I have been hoping to join in from PA on one of the beautiful jaunts around the monuments. I'm avoiding the snow, but check out the video thread for some of the braver members here who have been plowing through it on their wheels!

@Kells Great Detroit ride! extra bravery points for riding when there are ice sculptures about.

Great ride, great video! You pick the right time to go through town.

@Vanquiz : loved seeing that police use of EU. Noticed one was using 2-wheel design, thought it was probably a good idea as officer might need to use arms for tasks other than balance: signal, whistle, bang on the side of a van driving down a pedestrian filled street . There's another video from England showing postal delivery, and they use 2-wheel EU. It might be the best design to use when doing a job. From a personal agenda, I did wish the police would use helmets, like bicycle police use in New York, if only for an example for children. Bottom line, it is good to see policemen as role models putting a stamp of legitimacy on EUs. @viti : Thanks! I wear goggles as eye protection because the trail has lots of branches that cross at eye height. Basically I wear them because I am compulsive about protective gear! @SuperSport : Thanks! The bears in central PA truly want to keep to themselves. I had one track me from about 50 yards for a quarter of a mile once, but besides speeding up slightly and taking inventory of what snacks I could throw down behind me, he didn't disturb me too much. (and it was laundry day anyway).

Hi, @viti , you might be able to see it here: https://vimeo.com/150499776

Here is a muddy trail ride with my pal:

Ah, you are one of those! So the risk of a battery fire is nothing new and you are familiar with a lipo sack!

Some in my family have used the technical term "idiot".

@trya I surf there, that's a great idea!
