Hat hier jemand geglaubt, alles ausser nutzloses Kinderspielzeug würde nicht praktisch verboten? Wir sind in dem Land, in dem man ein elektrisches Fahrrad nicht auf dem Fahrradweg benutzen darf, wenn es auch ohne treten fährt oder über 25km/h (langsamer als normales Fahrradfahren) geht. Von Führerschein- und Versicherungspflicht ganz zu schweigen. 20km/h ist sogar nach dem unsäglichen PLEV-Verordnungs-Vorschlag schon veraltet. Schlechter Witz. Aber sonst kauft ja keiner Betrugsdiesel, wenns es sinnvolle Alternativen gibt. Hoffentlich ballert mal einer die Altparteien weg... (und ich bin kein AfD-Wähler, aber da versteht man wieso die Leute sauer sind, wenn nichtmal solcher Kleinscheiss klappt)

Da gibt es extra die Funktion in der App dafür, der Gyrosensor driftet mit der Zeit, und das kalibriert den neu. Eine normale Kalibrierung (falls es die gibt) sollte genauso funktionieren. Siehe hier: https://youtu.be/6pkGXbCrG9M?t=9m39s Fall es nicht weggeht und wie bei den alten Gotways ist: sicher stellen, dass das wheel während der gesamten Kalibrierung (oder dieser anderen Funktion die dasselbe tut) NICHT zur Seite lehnt, sonder ganz aufrecht ist. D.h. es soll dabei nicht "verdreht" sein. Schau ob das klappt.

Wobble should go away on its own. The pedal tilt is really strange and should NOT be there, especially the one at speed is completely unheard of. Though I'd definitely try calibrating it via the Gotway app, quite some beeps and switching on/off is involved, not just pressing a button. Wheellog probably didn't do anything. There's a Speedy Feet Youtube video that explains the idea (may differ a little in practice). Also have the wheel NOT tilted sideways while calibrating, in addition to your desired pedal angle. I always recommend doing a really tilted calibration to confirm that your method works, after that you can calibrate to level. I believe the actual calibration process is after you switched it off and on again (not sure, forgot the details), so keep the wheel in position all the time.

Wobble is a rider problem. The more relaxed you are, the less chances of wobble. Being tired, fearful or tense for any other reason gets you the wobble (your delayed reactions amplify any disturbances instead of cooly absorbing them, that's the likely cause of the wobble). So your squeezing the wheel probably makes it worse. A good relaxed stance and experience is all you should need. Don't worry after only 10 hours, it will go on its own. You can help by doing everything so you're relaxed. E.g. a good foot position is a balanced one where the wheel does not move when you stepped on it with just the one foot. Stand straight, look forward, not down. Etc. For the sake of completeness/your mind, you can switch the wheel on and lift it to see that it really produces no wobble on its own (the sudden jolt before high speed cut-off is the tiltback, that's no wobble). That's strange and shouldn't happen. Do a calibration, and set the ride mode to hard (for testing purposes, and make sure the app doesn't reset it - does the iOS app still do that?). The pedals should be rock hard and level then. No dipping. If the problem persists then, likely something's wrong. My bet is a calibration might do the trick. (You can throw off the gyro by going over a washboard-like surface like a cow grate, then gradual forward dipping is normal in this very specific situation - it goes away as soon as you rattle the wheel no longer. But dipping should not happen on simple grass! And certainly not on pavement at speed!) My recommendation for tire pressure: pump it up to its stated maximum, let out a tiny little bit of air (not much!) so the wheel isn't ultra hard, and that's the best pressure. Little harder to balance than low tire pressure, but springier response.

Yep, that's what I'm doing, too, with obstacles/starts of an incline. Brake a little, bend your knees a bit, absorb the bump with your knees, then straighten up. This let's the wheel jump up the obstacle with much less weight on it, and then it supports you straigthening (lifting your weight). So you temporally separate the two power demanding maneuvers.

Two batteries? I only see one. Guess the internal build is different.

Awesome informative video! The asymmetric build is cool. My thoughts, too. What would happen, e.g., if you crossed both yellow battery connectors (they are right next to each other)?

Fantastic video, as always Awesome how you can use consumer cameras in such low light nowadays and get decent video quality and therefore usable footage.

250000 views in 3 days, nice marketing!

The max tire pressure can be found on the tire.

Pretty sure the problem would be slipping on this fine concrete. And the thought of falling on these (partially reinforced with metal) edges... brrr☠️ Getting out isn't what I' be worried about

Not bad! For a moment I was expecting/afraid you'd go down into that "bowl" Pedal height is a real issue with curving on inclined surfaces like this. I still believe that >20cm pedal height should be a thing. Also the slippery surfaces are a limitation. Both for this skate park and the hall from the other video. Doesn't matter to skateboards, does matter a lot to EUCs.

Very cool! Kind of want a Marty shirt now. Also, great nickname for the Tesla Though I'm with Marty (which club does that go to?) that I want full Hunka pictures (and no helmet cheating). Speaking of Hunka, looks like you're more of a hunk(a) than your concupiscent (I love this word) forum personality might indicate due to preconceptions (you know, fat sleazy guy). (I should add people can cleary see you're no Russian blonde, though.) You know who else is in good shape? Marty. So here's my new theory (based on totally not just very vague similarities): You're Marty's long lost twin brother (Artie Backe?) who moved to Canada for <yet unknown dramatic reasons> long ago. Which also explains why you can't show us your face. And your Marty-fixated enterprises. Cleary something's going on with the Backe family... Hey, I had that idea too. Meet up for a group ride, wait til Marty leaves somewhere for a minute, everyone quickly changes into Marty shirts. As for the other idea, a really good one. That could (should!) become a real trend. Marty baseball caps would also be great for that. As always in life: pics or it didn't happen. But before you do anything, I'd suggest you think long and hard* about all the possible meanings of the word "blowback" "Hey fam, if I print some guy's face on my underwear and wear that and post pictures of that, he's the idiot, right?" "Yea sure man *eyeroll*." *long and hard being words usually not associated with your underwear and adjacent topics -- How's the bunny? Any more photos of that?

Yea, these skaters are already better than I am (I guess) after a few days at most. Did you see the main guy almost succeed with the jump turning the wheel 180° under him? Crazy. People like @Sidestreet Reny practiced how long for that? This isn't humbling, this is outright mortifying haha Though it was a bit unfair not to give them V10s, some of these slips after jumping the ramps are probably from overpowering the wheels (alarm alarm alarm), not the riders losing balance.

@Jediah Matthew Very cool video! They indeed have talent.

@Rehab1 Well, looks like he isn't adroit enough to use the word adroit. Or maybe he is, and you weren't adroit enough to get his kind of usage for the word adroit, specifically used in a nonsense way - adroitly, if that was the case. I'm not adroit enough to tell

@fryman Thanks @Bob Eisenman Interesting idea. Though I'm sure I only made the last almost 20km with 35% only because I was going quite slow, so it greatly depends on the speed.

This video is basically a guide how domestic injuries happen

Wow! These could only be better with a EUC in them Quite the place. Does it really look that purple in reality? Red soil + blue water and sky = nice! Your link does not work, goes to a 404 page for me.

It is very much. Minus the steep part down, but that's an outlier and the "normal" bike route down would work perfectly with the Monster. I don't like how the Monster rides, though, much too indirect for me. The ACM nimbly dances below your legs, while you kind of have to drag the Monster along with you. Even on the steepest parts down, I only used pedal pressure, no sidepad pinching at all.

Inspired by yesterday's ride with a bit of a view (see previous page), I realized I could lollygag around the flat lands forever, but my heart is in the mountains So I did a modification of my usual mountain tour. Started late afternoon, wonderful hot and sunny hazy weather, ended up being almost 6.5 hours and I was home at 11 again (these rides always take longer than you think). -- This is only a few kilometers from home. The plan is to get to the mountains, follow a creek valley up there, at its end climb to a mountain ridge below a big rock face, follow the ridge, get down again at the other end, and have enough battery to get back home *knock on wheel*. View, almost there. The b*tch as* mountain to the left fried my first ACM dead Valley is behind it, and you see end of the ridge on the other side. Road up into the valley. The first of many cooling stops. And another stop. This was hilarious. I got out of the forest onto the open Alm meadow, but every single cow there decided to enjoy a tree's shadow in the sunny heat and block the road ahead. Completely block it. Felt like this, when they all look at at you... But I got through, slowly on the side. Didn't want to get kicked by a cow. And just when I got to the other side of the bovine blockade, a car came down and had the same problem. But the driver pushed slowly through.... ... and the cows closed their ranks again. Further up the valley, creek to the side. The road is a mixture of paved and gravel, open meadow and forest. The valley essentially ends here. The steeper climb to the ridge begins (right route). Looking back. Moon, highest peak in the area with an antenna, and the road. Gained height quite fast. Looking back, further up. One of many rock faces is looming behind the trees. Break at the last junction. The way up is a short but nice dead end. To the right, you follow the ridge. The end. Highest point for the trusty ACM. In a moment, I'd go on foot onto a small grass peak, up towards the right in this picture. Was curious about the view up there. But first, the ACM's view Walking () up, looking back. I briefly considered carrying the ACM with me for picture staging reasons, but nah. On the top: a bench, and a stone marker for the peak. On the left, you can see the flat lands at the foot of the mountains. Pretty nice view up there Looking into the mountains. Now it was time for the way down and back. The battery was at a cool 35% on the top here, so... well, the math didn't look too promising. But you gotta trust your wheel. Loving that little machine. On the way down along the ridge, the wheel-murdering mountain's upper part to the right. Also, nice view into the flat lands. Getting to that lake there, circling it, and back home again is a nice tour I've done a few times. Testing the portrait/focus thing on my phone along the way. Along the ridge... At the end of the ridge, a 90° right turn, descending half the mountain, and another right turn. Leavin the forest, ending up at this nice Alm hut. Great views of my entire route to and from the mountains. Looking down on the lands below. I decided to continue via the right path here, something I hadn't tried before. It's not the official bike route, and promised to be steeper. Looking back at the hut. Steep indeed. And lots of nasty big gravel, potentially pedal-catching rocks, steps, and deep ruts. It always is much worse than it looks in pictures. Nice route though, was a fun challenge, and pretty. Last look at the hut. Now it was through forest, and got darker fast (nearly 9pm). Yep... low light = my phone camera craps out. Pretend it's a sharp picture, then it's quite neat It was so steep, I needed cooling breaks on the way down! Usually, this is completely unnecessary. Looking back at the ACM cooling down in the darkening forest. Side view when the forest opened up for a few meters. Almost down. Curious cows at a picnic table on the side of the path. Off the mountain and back in civilization. Down from the mountains, the battery was still at 35%, despite challenging riding for over 1.5 hours. Gotta love regenerative braking You never lose battery going down. I decided to go back home slooooooowly so I would still make the short-of-20km distance I needed. This is on the way back. Was quite dark then. You can see the valley I ascended to the left, the ridge starting at the highest peak right at its end, and the lights of the hut I've just been to in the center there. Good night, and good luck (getting home before the battery is empty). Spoiler: it worked I took it slow, and got home with (I guess) still a few km to spare. Wheellog summary. 66km as the wheel says (which is more accurate than GPS), and some notable heights were included as well. It's amazing how little energy climbing mountains costs - you can get 1000m up for the loss of a few km range (with continuous fast riding in flat terrain, the 1300Wh give me just under 70km range). The route. Read the circular part clockwise. The lower part of the circle is the mountain part, straight down the valley, turning around and up to and along the undulating ridge, and then down again. GeoTracker summary. Some cool numbers there. That's it, hoping you liked it Result: Mountains are nice, and so are electric unicycles.

The capacitors are the two brown cylinders. Maybe you can see some damage.

Yep, sounds like a broken capacitor, making the wheel more soft.

Looks like traction (right word? I mean not slipping.) was the only problem. Props for trying, though How much battery did you use?

Mmmmmmh, these are the dreamy pictures I love. Some hills or mountains (or another nice landscape), a wheel, a path ahead (or behind) into the unknown Infinite promises https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Goes_Ever_On_(song)#In_The_Lord_of_the_Rings
