  1. I've been riding for about 4 years now and something that never gets old is seeing people react to these devices. I love seeing videos taken from inside a car or from the sidewalk of someone who has no idea what they're seeing and has to start recording. Then, there are the occasions where EUCs end up bleeding into the mainstream such as the Liberty Mutual insurance commercial. Maybe the occasional news reporting would also count. I'm always looking for more examples of these videos and if you know of any, please share them. Is there another thread where only these videos are posted? Finally, the videos that inspired me to make this post is something I have never seen before and it's THE BEST representation of what we look like to the outside world. I'm sure many of you have seen this but for you who have not, here you go. https://www.facebook.com/reel/284430607370633?sfnsn=mo&mibextid=6AJuK9 If ANYONE comes across more standup bits about EUCs, please share them. It's one of the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
  2. It's the best thing I've seen since the race video posted by evX
  3. Keep an eye on Solar activity too. A couple years after the peak of solar cycle 23 in 2003, there was a massive solar storm that severely affected electronic equipment. We're close to the peak of sunspot cycle 24 and the Earth's electromagnetic field is even weaker than it was so it would take a smaller event to have a similar effect. There would be an increase risk for cutouts during that time in certain areas. Of course, if we were hit by a solar storm like what hit the planet in 1859, the instant cutout and possible battery explosion would be the least of your concern as humanity would be instantly plunged back into the per-industrial revolution era.
  4. I take the Amtrak Downeaster from Portland ME to Boston all the time and I've taken my wheels a few times. First time I took my 16x and no one said anything. I took my Monster Pro and the conductor didn't like it even though I was able to get it in the overhead. He told me to purchase a bike ticket for it next time I took the train. So, the next time, I took my Sherman and booked a bike ticket for it. On my way on the train, the same conductor said I could take it this time but they are not allowed on the train. He told me they don't check baggage and if I could fit it in a suitcase, they would have no way to know. Not too long after, I decided to take Amtrak from Boston to Seattle and I kept it in a suitcase. There was no issue other than the suitcase being awkward and heavy. On the return trip, I was feeling ballsy and decided to wheel it onto the train outside the suitcase and as I was boarding, they asked if the batteries were removable. I told them they were and changed the subject as quickly as possible. I kept it in the suitcase the rest of the trip. So far, I've never been turned away by Amtrak but I feel like I've come close. There are about three riders taking the Downeaster to Boston this weekend for the Invasion so we'll see how they do. I'll update here with how it goes after the event.
  5. The Southern Maine EUC Telegram group link has changed to t.me/+TiMBXk_B09fQKUQv
  6. I'm hiking the whole Appalachian Trail this year and was wondering if there are any riders that live in or around the towns that the trail goes by. I think it would be cool to meet other riders along the way. Right before I left for g he trail, I had the pleasure of meeting elektric_airbender in Charlotte NC and riding around with him was a blast. I will be going through or by all the places listed below.

  7. Good video. Looking forward to that range test
  8. Thanks @Paradox, I'll have to check that next time I have it opened.
  9. Thank you. I didn't realize there as more options. Downloaded them all and can't wait to try them out. Are there any other sound packs people have made that are any good?
  10. Sorry to hear this news. I've been worried about how the present day economy issues were affecting the EUC distribution. It seems that just as shipping is slowing down and becoming more expensive, the demand for EUCs have also become higher than ever. I've been wondering if the demand has outpaced the supply creating longer wait times alongside the shipping issues? If so, has production been scaling up to meet these demands? Also maybe off topic, have there been any logistics published about how many wheels are produced each year? Either way, hold onto your wheels, we're in for a bumpy road ahead.
  11. After hearing the news of the eWheels Service Center fire, I wonder how much of this is still happening, paused, and/or outright canceled. Does anyone know how many wheels eWheels move annually?
  12. Anyone here still waiting and/or affected by the Ewheels Service Center fire? I'm just trying to figure out what IS available.
  13. Rode in the rain. This is what happened. Seems like all the water came in through the LED fixtures. I didn't see any water on the control board cooling fan. https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_znDpjUqR/?utm_medium=copy_link
