i swear listening yesterday with jason’s accent it sounded like he was saying “zedten”. might name mine zed. they all have names.

from my motorcycle days, what i learned was, i didn’t go faster than what i couldn’t safely control from how far in front of me i could see. could be a car stopping, a shovel in the road, a sinkhole, live animal, dead animal, etc etc, i’ve seen them all i think. scares the holy shit out of u. some biker friends of mine got seriously hurt in oregon when a couple of huge ass deer thought they could jump over them, but that’s another story. nothing good comes from speed except on a motorcycle in crowded traffic conditions, i’d use speed to find “clear air” away from the cagers. and eucs don’t have enough speed for that. never have experiencing a dreaded cutoff, i try to imagine myself sitting on the front of my jeep with a friend driving it down the road at a speed i choose and to slam on the brakes without notice. depending on how young u are and padded up, pick ur speed. i know i wouldn’t want to fly off the front of my jeep facing forwards at 20 mph. i’m too brittle.

yaas, that is why, with me medicating my terminal cancer on cannabis oil and continuing to run a 325 acre cattle ranch by myself living in a non converted cargo container, i had to go slowly and methodically into the world of eucs. and why i continue to scour the internet for information on mechanical failures. even falling in the pasture at slow speed, as funny as i think it is at the time, bruises can still take a long time to heal. i kinda think the minebot s1’s should always be in ur stable. just little maintenance runs on those remind u what a safe speed is, so when u are on ur others , 15 mph without tiltback feels great.

i’ve seen one other euc other than the ones i own and that was a guy with a sailboat docked at the same las olas marina in ft lauderdale back in 2015. never talked to him and only saw it from 50 yards away.

cool, good to hear that. thanks.

yeah, i think so. pretty interesting.u should watch it.

look at all the florida people! when i joined the forum i only saw like 3 others here. except for the heat and the traffic, if u are so inclined, florida is flatland euc heaven.

on a scale of 1 to 10, compared to all other euc’s you have had experience with, how safe do you feel the z10 is as far as not having a mechanically induced cut off? i realize it’s just a gut feel guess at this stage of the game.

no not much but in anticipation of the z10 coming, i thought i’d see how the van’s skateboarder shoes felt on the pedals. i hadn’t really paid attention to which wheels beep before tiltback and sometimes i think from growing up shooting here on the ranch i don’t hear high frequencies. i know it went up to like 17 mph. that was weird. u tried to give me tips on what to watch out for safety wise, like the routing of the motor wire and of course i wasn’t paying attention, but any known issues i’d love to know because it is a interesting wheel. if the ks16s, 18s, v10f and z10 are mechanically safer than the little ninebots, maybe i’ll save them for someday where i have a big square area to practice on and to teach no fat girls how to ride.

i know and u know and it is slightly amusing, mostly when the handle hits him in the head. i thought hoverboard crashes and fires were funny too. still it tainted my image of them to this day.

yeah the old 18s 1680wh version can definitely get out of balance quickly. takes the most focus of any of my wheels. turning, anyway.

yeah but the goody two shoes will try to paint this as something dangerous. personally it looks staged to me, kinda like ron’s crash. it’s like cannabis, 26 million people voted not to let people try medical cannabis in florida. it’s not like they were ever gonna be bothered by the new law, they just didn’t want people to have the option. it’s a terrible human trait.

maybe u can get bob from inmotion on and the ninebot guy now that he’s figured out what free promotion is.

yes in this information starved world of euc, having jason on was a goldmine.

this doesn’t help our cause.
