  1. Here is a different answer... tell the wife to shut up and stop talking nonsense. You said it yourself the chance of something happening is miniscule. If you keep entertaining the nonsense it is never going to stop. Sometime something somewhere will happens and if she throws a fit of "I told you so" well .... time for a new wife (keep the wheels) ... LOL. Disclaimer: I'm 50+ and never had one of those nonsense generating biological units ... LOL.
  2. It is not too hard to disassemble. I just did it to repair a flat. I follow the youtube video below. It wasn't hard for me to remove the rod from the pedals. My V8S is rather new (less than a year) and they were pretty loose. What was a bit tricky was removing the flaps. Make sure you remove the 4 bolts holding the wheel before removing the flaps. That way you get a bit of play in the plastic. I have no opinion on what tire to use... good luck.
  3. You plug the charger into the wall outlet then the wheel...weird... I do it backwards: Plug charger in the wheel then the charger into the wall outlet. I had a V8F last year, sold it and I got a V8S. Probable won't matter but you could try my way. When did it started taking long?
  4. Hi all, I got this email (below) today from Inmotion about the V11. I have a V8S so I thought I pass it along here. Not much is said in the email: ----------------- email begins --------------------- Dear INMOTION V11 riders,When you hear a beep sound while charging, please stop charging immediately and contact your dealer or INMOTION customer service. Also, to get the issue solved, we need you to upload the vehicle log by going to Vehicle Settings-Diagnose-Upload log. We appreciate your cooperation!For users purchased from Official Amazon store, shoot an email at AmazonService@imscv.com.For users purchased from other channels, please email service@imscv.comWith deep appreciation,INMOTION TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD ----------------- email ends ---------------------
  5. what is management's (wife) preference? Go with that...lol.
  6. Hi all, I'm looking for a winter helmet that will keep my head from getting cold. I found this: Scorpion Helmet EXO-R320 SOLID at a ok price ($110) but I wonder how good it is. Anyone has this?
  7. Awful news, sorry to hear that. Glad no one was hurt. Is there anything the community here can do to help?
  8. Hi all, I've been watching "Not Just Bikes" in youtube and it looks like they have very nice bike lanes and paths in the Netherlands. Does anyone ride EUCs? Are they legal? I'm just curious I'm in the USA.
  9. V8S vs V11? Really ... these wheels are not in the same "class".
  10. An EUC is neither an electric bike nor a scooter... will that matter?
  11. Range is relative. The faster you go the less range you get. I did a run with the speed limited to 15 miles/hr with the V8F and I notice that the manual was somehow accurate. I haven't done that with the V8S. Here is more useful info than my opinion. This chart (picture below) is from the V8S manual. Pay special attention to the side note on the range. You do get good range if you limit the speed (and weight, etc). It is just difficult , for me, not to wanna go FASTER...LOL. But the 33 lb weight is ideal for me. The KS 18X looks nice but the 45 lb weight is something I don't want to handle.
  12. I sold my V8F a couple of weeks ago and bought a V8S. I can't tell the difference in size. I thought the V8S was a bit wobbly the firs day I used it but it was night time and I was tired. Next day it was fine. The battery is a bit bigger so I can ride fast for a bit longer. Charging time also took longer. The V8F used to take ~3 hours (from orange in the battery meter) to full. The V8S was like ~4.5 hours ("same" battery level as V8F). I'm 150lb and 50+ also. Remember to buy knee pads, wrist guard and helmet. If you buy a V8S from ewheels.com you get a free cover and the wrist guards. Take it easy and don't be discouraged if it looks impossible learning at first. Oh and forget the non-sense in the manual that tell you to use one leg only to learn at the beginning. I can ride no problem (both legs) and I can't do one leg ...yet...LOL. The Inmotion app is rather crappy. but you need it to disable transport mode when you get the wheel and it allows you to limit the max. speed. Limiting the max. speed is a must (IMHO) when you're learning. Enjoy.
  13. I'm in California and I bought an Inmotion V8F from eWheels.com last December. I sold that last week and I bought a V8S from eWheels.com again. No problems. which EUC are u looking at?
  14. Funny I saw a youtube guy (gold shawn farm) putting those on his farm animals and I thought about the EUC but the price and recording time was a no no. Thanks though.
  15. Hi all, I'm just wondering which camera one could use. I'm not interested in helmet mounted cameras though. I'm thinking a camera mounted on the EUC, yes that low, LOL. Thanks
