How about an air horn? Might be fun against "those" pedestrans, too (you know the ones with no spatial awareness or consideration that somehow completely block a 2 meter wide path).

Please stay on topic (Dogs chasing EUC riders) and on the right side of the border between what is a strong expression of an argument and what is a personal insult. Thanks

As with all fires, I think the smoke is more dangerous (to you) and damaging (to your place) than the fire itself. You probably don't store your wheel in your highly flammable hay stack, I presume Mine is on tiles next to a plastered wall, with doors being the closest flammable thing. Maybe offering fireproof and sealable metal storage boxes for EUCs is a business idea for an enterprising accessory maker. Just close the lid to keep the smoke from getting out, and let the wheel burn in peace.

Wait for it to burn down. Close doors to the other rooms and open the windows to minimize the smoke damage. Not sure if there's anything else you can do unless you specifically prepared something. To be fair, wheels that burned pretty much all(?) had faulty batteries (not charging to 100%) or a bad crash before or at least some other reason (wet from rain) to burn. It didn't just happen from nothing. So tbh I'm not worried about my wheel burning, otherwise I'd have prepared something (metal box with a lid or whatever).

No, both the company name (formerly Kebye) and brand (formerly Gotway) seem to be Begode now. Quote from Website: It was always Begode and has always been Begode

I figured like this (click speaker on left side), just smoother than Google Translate pronounces it. Or maybe like this? (this is a different link) - I guess in the end it's going to be the English pronunciation of Begode. Bee-Go-dee.

Oioioi was haste mit dem armen Wheel angestellt?

That's just a bad translation due to an English loan word, I think. "Higher virtue", see here:

Pew pew! I love how 1500Wh and "same range as my 18XL" now counts as "limited battery". Wheels are getting better fast, the future is bright

Gotway definitely is (was) a cool name! It's got the "Move it, I'm on a Gotway!" no-fucks-given attitude that you need for EUC riding Bee-Gow-Duh (click on the speaker icon in the Chinese box)

Do you have to clip on the sun visor or the clear visor, or are both always attached and you can switch any time?

How many days did you attend and have videos coming?

You won't always wear that jacket, but you will always wear those wrist guards. Maybe your brain was smarter than you this time.

Or some bicycle for like $100. Well said!

Hey you're not allowed to use the w-word on this forum 3 km is... a 30 minute walk? A bit much for what could be a 10-15 min ride. And you're not getting sweaty in summer.

The 16S has a sudden tiltback that can surprise-crash you if you don't expect it. At least that's how it used to be, not sure if they ever changed that (@mrelwood do you know?). So essentially it's a 30-32kph wheel (you have your speed beeps there, to avoid getting too close to 35kph) which, in my opinion, is just a tad too slow. The V10F with 45kph max is fast enough so you can cruise at peace at 35-40kph instead. - Another thing: some days the weather will just be shitty and you might want to take the bus instead. Include that in your cost considerations. Maybe a new wheel that is nice and fast enough for you to be happy with just isn't 100% there yet in replacing the bus pass from a purely financial perspective. That's where used wheels would come in. Or you simply accept it that you also buy a EUC because it's just fun

For your weight and height, you'll want a strong battery to prevent overleans (the wheel not keeping up with you doing a stronger acceleration, and you falling on your face). Batteries are made of blocks of cells (how many in a block is fixed and determined by the voltage of your wheel), and you put these blocks in parallel to get bigger battery capacities. More parallel blocks means more power. You'll want to avoid 2p batteries (2 blocks in parallel) like on the V8F, 14D. 4p is better, that would be on the 14S, 16S, V10(F), Tesla, and bigger batteries are 4p or more automatically. The rated motor power doesn't really matter as long as it's "big enough", like 1500W or more. Most modern wheels are 2000W+ anyways. For the same price, the V10F is the newer and faster wheel, and probably more sleek and functional. It also has a wider tire which makes it a bit more cushioned and comfortable. The 16S is older. It's not bad, but personally I'd buy a Tesla (speed and zippyness, same tire size as the 16S) or V10F (comfort, overall package) over it. The tire is a little smaller than the V10F one, which may give it a bit more immediate acceleration (the V10F accelerates just as well, but you will have to lean it a bit more in comparison), and the 16S has a really nice trolley handle (but the V10F one seems good enough as well). The 35kph speed limit (including abrupt killer tiltback there) may just be a little too slow for long term happyness. Trust your gut on which one looks like it would fit you better.

Life duration will be determined by how long you want to use the wheel instead of upgrading it. So (for me) this tends toward buying a "better" model if in doubt. I'd say a V10 or V10F is about where you should start. Not too slow (everyone thinks 25kph is enough and everyone later finds out how wrong that was) and not too weak (powerful battery and motor). Or maybe a Tesla. Is your commute on bike paths and streets with few stops, or maybe more sidewalks and intersections and other situations where you stop and go lot? How much is it cruising comfort vs. zippyness and quick maneuvering? Do you also consider a used wheel? You can get a lot more bang for your buck then. Also keep in mind the extra costs for protective gear if they play a role in your decision.

I added your location to the title because that makes it easier for people to quickly see it, and because it wouldn't even be shown on mobile. Good luck! (There's a Philadelphia group, if that isn't too far away from you, listed here.)

The official King Song representative says it was some kind of trademark thing:

Maybe photos and pictures can be two different things! A place for our Photoshop fans to go wild? Paging @Bob Eisenman. I like the Alien Marty picture. I don't think it's actually a picture of Marty but somehow I figured it must be him.

The idea is to cool the battery down. So any fluid that is not flammable is good. The electrolyte in the cells ignites at a certain temperature. You want to prevent further cells from combusting due to their neighbor cells burning, you do that by keeping them cooler than that temperature by conducting the heat away with your fluid.

That would be awesome!!
