novazeus Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 i think it would be cool some day in the future to be able to ride on the beach but doesn’t the salt take a toll on the euc? how do u clean it or do u clean it after a ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuitmage Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I've seen videos of ppl riding on the beach. I suppose just like your car/boat...wash it good right after the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esash Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Does "wash it good" include disassembling the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have two videos of myself riding through the Pacific Ocean. You may have seen them. When I get home I take the garden hose and a sponge to rinse the outside of the shelf, and spray water around the axle area. Seems good enough for me.

Well, I don't aim a high-pressure stream directly at the axle. It's more like a gentle indirect bathing of the motor/tire with fresh water. I don't baby my wheels so that I can be riding them 5-years from now. So keep that in mind when reading about what I do with my wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vu Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Riding on the beach is fine. Just don't ride through the salt water. If you do, then wash with fresh water ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demargon Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I didn't wash it with water, only dry it and use some brush for clean the sand off. I think the dry air from the mountains keep it safe from rusting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water probably isn't going to hurt the electronics, as long as everything gets totally dry before you power up. Alcohol is better to use on electronic boards, since it evaporates quickly.
