Imagine the future, solid state batteries. We can get more range, and less weight than the V13 or V14? And speed, we Can get more speed but we can limit that. It's scary going 56mph+ already.. 😳

I see your point, and if it's for doing errands and going around town with less weight to tow around. And if you do trails, off road then this would be a good alternative. But if you're used to going 40 mph+ around town.. 🤔.. But if you have the means.. Do it.. 😆 In the future, I'm sure they'll have the best of both worlds with solid state batteries they're creating. Imagine that on our EUC. More range, speed, lighter than our V13.

I was concerned about the stiffness and weight of these but after breaking them in just by walking around the block and exercising on an elliptical with no problem. They flexed just as my military boots I was wearing. I rode for 48 min around town last night and on other days, I commute to work 8-10 miles each way and didn't have any problems. Everyone has a different style of riding and getting feed back from the pedals are just the same as any shoes I wore, I put pressure to the pedals forward and backward , I turn, I carve, etc. and have no problems.. yesterday, I was going at the speed of traffic (30+mph) and suddenly a vehicle ahead of me veered in front of me and stopped due to traffic ahead and I was able slow to almost to a sudden stop and maneuvered away from the vehicle. I ride fully geared when riding my V13 and in the event of an accident we can't control what happens when our body gets thrown around, where we land, starts sliding until we slow down or hit an object. And if my feet where to be the first impact or other parts of my body, something has to give. These boots are added protection. And if these boots hinder my riding and my safety I wouldn't ride on them as well, but it doesn't and fits like a glove. Stay safe..

For those who rides faster than 35-50+mph, I reccomend these Leatt 4.5 along with these knee pads. Even at low speeds having see Marty talk on YT about his ankle injury and the surgery made me look into these boots. I was using the Leatt Dual-axis shin knee guard, which seems to move around my knee while riding and the military high top boots I was wearing with it just didn't feel it will protect my ankles after seeing other people crash on the EUC.. But this is a good combo for me and fits like a glove. It flexes well and feel more stable with my V13.

He also has a first aid kit/ tool bag in the rear...

You could use foam padding on your clark pads bumper..

Stay on the crosswalk. They're the only level grade in SF. Or slowly creep up on lean at the stop light and time it when it turns green..

Very entertaining and aspiring on how he rides indeed. I purchased my V13 from Alienrides and was one of the first to get it since I did a local pick-up. I commute 5 days a week in this city (San Francisco) and this video covers 80% at most of my 8-10 mile ride each way. Especially video 3:20, where the street speed limit is 45-50 mph is the reason why I wanted/needed this wheel to go with the flow of traffic in some areas. My previous wheel I commuted was KS18, which tops out at 31 mph, was insufficient in some street area that doesn't have a bike lane. In those instances I would be elbow to elbow with the cars, I would get passed by vehicles quite often like a big rig passing you by when I was riding my MC. That gust of wind getting passed by could get really sketchy on those instances. And having to go on the sidewalk for so long I would have to reduce my speed to walking to pass pedestrian if they are in my path to be respectful. Switching to the V13 is a game changer and makes my commute so much fun that I have a bigger grin on my face when I get to work and home. I love how this beautiful city throws all the variables and obstacles at me, which makes it entertaining for me. Note: I have fixed my pad on the rear it was upside down and opposite sides. Haha

got it!! .. Alien rides has done the bolts replacement. So I decided to do a local pick up since I heard about lost V13s during shipment. It was worth the drive and the staff were very welcoming and had their Alien lube (tire sealant) installed for free. They also offered for a tire swap Michelin pilot 2.0. But I decided to stick with the stock tire. Got the Clark pads bumper and Grizzla pads ready to go. No need for a wheel stand.. 

Sorry, meant to post on v13 spec..

My pre-order from Alienrides is just around the corner and they recently addressed the issue and will be replacing the bolts before shipping. https://m.facebook.com/100058144086358/

What am I looking at here? I can't seem to focus on the postures, knees. All I see is unprotected knees, elbows, errr. Chest.... armor? 

Yes, made a few of them, one at work, and one in my back pack and put them together like legos.

Keep it up, you're making great progress. Excited for you. As for the speed wobbles, in time, you will be able to control it before it happens. You have been doing a lot of riding and the wobbles might contribute to foot/ muscle fatigue. Get some much needed rest and keep hammering away. When at home, continue to keep using the balance board. Start challenging yourself by balancing with one leg, yoga pose to get the core muscles stronger. With muscle memory, you'll ride better and your balance will be improved. I still use my balance board and continue to challenge myself. I've only been riding for 4 months and IMO the balance board has greatly improved my riding. I can ride with one leg, ride back wards, make 90/180 deg turns at full stop, etc. I ride 16-20 miles a day on my commute. And in the streets of SF, I have encountered pot holes, raised cracks from past earthquakes, homeless encampment in the middle of alley, drugged up walking like zombies, unexpected car doors opening, red light runners, blocked cars blocking bike lanes, ridirect and jump over sidewalks,etc. Maneuvering around these obstacles makes you a better rider. My ride is not boring and I like being tested. Sometimes you gotta embrace the suck and enjoy the ride. Haha
