Some crazy looing bikes there too. How tall was the one where the guy had extended post and bars. I saw him/her in the parking garage too. Must have been a tight fit for them! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very neat video! Only in the U.S. people can get this excited about riding some bikes in a group Even fireworks! "Tallbike" was awesome though. But how does the guy even get started up there? And what happened when the rest went into the low parking garage? These guys are quite fast, or the camera makes it look quite speedy. With the head mask, you really look like a power ranger! And Stan quasi-ramming that biker was funny. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol those people were drunk! They cut me off! we actually locked pedals when I tried to pass him. He pushed my pedal down while he was pedaling. The guy got off his tall bike and ran it up there all slanted at an angle so it would fit. Some of the tall bikes, they just get it moving and with a step and crank of the pedal they just scramble up. Some lean them against poles or a wall and climb up them. We watched this one dishevelled girl try for about 15 mins to get up on one. She refused help and wanted to get on it by herself. She never did. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiSkySun Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 That also happened to me on the ride...someone ran into me from behind, good thing we were going slow...which gave me enough time to catch my fall. In @Stan Onymous's defense, they were drunk. I just threw that clip in there for a cheap laugh . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Nice circle in front of traffic! Guy's in the car going... what the heck? That headlight is nice and bright. I noticed a slight pedal scrape during one turn. I wonder how difficult it would be to have an adustable pedal mount so people can customize their pedal heights? Luckily the IPS a130 has an extra hole, but still a custom insert has to be made to brace the pedal hinge pin. You would think they could design the pedal so that the pin could be removed and inserted into the next higher slot according to preference. Some people like the stability a low pedal gives, but I think a higher setting would make a wheel more responsive possibly. That would explain the V8's twitchy response that people seem to be reporting on. If they could lower their pedals that might help the handling. Why not make them adjustable or would that be too much to ask? Edited September 22, 2017 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weave and ride around with your fun, colorful, unassuming mten3 in the night, smiling at people while you delight them with your tricks and marvelous tiny vehicle for a few moments, possibly wearing an oldschool hat fits the music, to be lifted in friendly greetings before you go on along your seemingly spontaneous route. But what these people don't know, somewhere in a dark parking lot along the way, your real destination, someone just collapsed from a single, precise shot to the heart by a silenced pistol, hidden under your shirt.

I'm pretty sure it's much brighter than any other EUC out there. Puts the KingSong lights to shame. I've said it before, I think the pedal height is perfect on this wheel. Pedal scraping is exceedingly rare (at least for me). At the very very end of this video you can faintly hear someone calling from the car, "what is that thing" Edited September 22, 2017 by Marty Backe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
