How many of you enjoy trail riding instead of or in addition to street riding? Since we don't have a Video Forum I'd like to start a video thread focused on Trail Rides. If you have a YouTube video link, please reply to this topic for so we can view and talk about great experiences and some of the challenges. Let's try to keep it on topic. I would love your feedback and will most appreciate keeping this thread going with Trail riding video.

I caught the EUC bug, and it seems that I'm gravitating toward Chooch-style riding. It's really filling the void for downhill mountain biking from my days living out West. I threw a dirt tire on my V8F and that has been game-changing but I know that I'm going to eventually destroy this wheel if I keep it up; I'm impacting the rim too often and running the battery down way too low. 4 months into EUC ownership and I'm already shopping around for a new wheel... as is tradition. So here's my shopping list: Bomb-proof design that can take a beating 3" knobby tire without suspension Effective trail range +/- 100km (65 miles) Torque is more important than top speed I don't care much about lights, speakers, screens, etc. So given all that, I'm gravitating toward the Kingsong 16x. Just wanted to check in to ask the community A) are there any other wheels that should be on my radar in the ballpark of the 16x price point, and B) should I hold off and wait until the production Inmotion V12 comes to market to see how it compares? Thanks, EDIT: Should have mentioned that I'm 185 lbs / 84 kg

So, I felt like the stock MSX tire is fine for the street, but pretty weak on any kind of trail. I wanted to try out a dual sport tire which could work on the trails and the road. I decided to try out the Shinko 244. There are other options out there that people have tried, but I really liked the look of this one. The problem is that tire lists the width at 2.75". Then the specs show that it is at 2.95" which is only about 1/8" wider than the stock tire. So, I thought, it should be fine. However, inflated the tire really measures about 3.25". Ouch, so what to do? I had to use a belt sander and sand that thing down on the sides to make it fit. I also had to take the entire wheel apart in order to sand the housing and give it a little more clearance. So, for the rated difficulty of installing this tire, I'm not sure I can recommend it. But I LOVE how it works when finally installed. Virgin tire - road only at this point. Time to get dirty... Morning ride after San Diego rain. It can get a little muddy out here on these hills. But the views are great. As you can see, I definitely need a mud flap now because the nice upgraded one from eWheels won't fit on this tire at all. Loose soil, sand, bark, gravel, straight up mud are no match for this thing. Stable and solid like it's glued to the road from what I've tried so far. I'll let you know how it's working once I've put a few more miles on it.

Has anyone figured out the miniPLUS "PATH SHOOTING" ability to RECORD a physical PATH or TRAIL or ROUTE that you ride or remote-control-steer - then somehow you inspire 'go' and the miniPLUS autonomously drives itself along this PRE-recorded path? Used to drive a camera around / among the photo/video subjects. I hope "the camera" (obsolete/changing) is NOT REQUIRED for this function. In the miniPLUS User Manual it states (page 23): " Path shooting: using the App’s advanced functions, the user can manually set a path, or automatically record a path by riding the miniPLUS or using the remote control to drive the miniPLUS. Then simply replay the path and record amazing video. " Manual depicts a circular orbit around a subject AND a "S" snake serpentine open path of straight, left & right turns. Any clue where these "Advanced Functions" can be found? Thanks Wilbur
