I hope this bring a slight smile to your face.

It will be tight, but I may be able to wait for you guys at the Falls, then ride to Whole Foods or ??. and back to the Falls where I would break off for home. I hope it works out. I will be on my KS18L.

Great job! Still hard to believe you have only ridden for a couple of months.

Great ride Bvoland and Albatross. I hope you got home okay Albatross? I "assume" you had not issues going back to your car BVoland? It was a 40 mile ride for me. Bvoland, you must have done 44-45? Great fun!

I will riding from Philly up the trail. I will go as far as Conshohocken and wait. It's a little too hot for this old feller to wear EUC garb, so I will be on a E-bike. See you old the trail.

If weather holds I will meet you/group at the Norristown Transportation Center or the Falls Bridge in Philly. Both are directly on the SRT to the Art Museum. I have a KS18L and weigh 240 lbs so I have range problems. I might decide to ride my e-bike if that is okay?

I live In Philadelphia and ride on the streets or bike trails. I have never ridden more than three consecutive sidewalk blocks during my 1500 miles of riding. I will only get on the sidewalk when the street is busy AND the traffic is high speed, or has a very narrow or no shoulder. The sidewalks are too crowded in center city and too broken up and or narrow in the residential neighborhoods.

This is how we do it! .. ummh I mean this is how they do it! I rode with these guys and ran for coffee and polished their wheels when they were here in Philly. I should have gotten autographs. Thanks to "VEE" for an excellent video of the epic ride!

Congrats to our very own ACTURBO - Chris!! He was part of the 105+ mile group ride by the Glydiators of DC. We are not worthy. When I grow up I want to be just like Crhis. Cool running man.

Eeeeh, not exactly. I burned up my KS18L board without even being on it. I was measuring some covering material "on the wheel" with thoughts of making it more stealthy. There was material draped under the wheel and I accidentally press the "ON" button while trying to fit said material. The excess material got pulled up by the spinning wheel and and jammed it. This blew the control board in less than 3 seconds. The fuses DID NOT BLOW in time to save the board. I just wanted you to be comforted by this knowledge as you put the 16X through your boot camp miles from your car. Enjoy!

Gotway has found a way to take away the only advantage KS had on them - Reliability. They left Inmotion reeling on the canvas, and Giant Ninebot wants nothing more to do with the little Honey Badger called Gotway. How has Gotway achieved this? They keep the performance standard high and bring a constant stream of new models or upgrades that their competitors "believe" they have to address in a timely manner. The Inmotion V10/F, Ks18L (first run), and now the KS16X have been sent to market sooner than the normally conservative companies would have like with bad results. When something goes wrong with KS or Inmotion it might required an extensive analysis and perhaps redesign. Something goes wrong with Gotway they stop the presses replace said problem with something bigger/better and re-start. Gotwqy will likely solve Nikola problems faster than KS will solve KS16X problems. To rub salt on the wound, the Nikola 100v version has already leap-frog over the KS16X before the KS16X even has wings. King Song needs to fagettabout it with attempts to hang with Gotway on performance and return to it's strength and put out a bug free product that has satisfactory performance for most and is viewed as a high quality, reliable, premium product.

Fantastic group ride today. Pedestrians stayed indoors so we had miles and miles of bike paths to ourselves. The heat for me was not a factor and I wore my MC jacket as always. The rider's were great people and a joy to be around. I hope anyone in or around Philly/SNJ/Del with an EUC will join this forum and dialog.

No worries, it happen 4 months after I got it last year. My only really crash where the wheel went flying into the air and came down breaking the poorly designed and implemented screw holders on the inner case of the KS18L. There "were" enough good screws to hold the case together. In taking it apart to replace the circuit board several other holders broke off or already had broken. One side of the wheel has 'no' screws holding the shell so I had to duct tape it. The only solution is to dismantle the entire wheel and replace the inner shells. I will live with the transparent duct tape for now. A bigger problem is replacing the controller board has made me seem like a new rider. I can't go over 12 mph, for xx miles. Then I have to do another 125-150 miles to get full speed. The App is calling my wheel an illegal product.
