I am in touch with a local charity that wants to do a cross-promotion, and hope to be able to announce that in a few days. I wish you the very best on your venture! TV stations love charity stories especially those involving children (although my last attempt failed and the station decided a bank robbery was more important). It may be to late but may I suggest something in the lines of Santa delivering small gifts to a local children’s home on a EUC. Not quit the same but once I dropped Santa off in a helicopter at a local Walmart Store and the TV stations arrived for that stunt. Sensational heartfelt stories tend to gain a TV station’s interest most of the time. Good Luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ombre Posted December 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2017 We did get the co-promotion put together this week! The local Humane Society is promoting the eWheels store to their supporters (via social media and email). For every sale of a unicycle, scooter, or e-bike during December, we'll donate $40 to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Since most of the people on their lists are >40 years old, it's a good demographic for us. We're finding our customers (so far) are exclusively above that age, mostly interested for themselves or their adult children. The <40 people are interested but few of them have enough disposable income. I love the idea of Santa on a EUC ... hmmm..... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiddo and pet promotions always tug at the heart strings of most people. Next year’s idea: Santa walking a dog dressed like a reindeer on your EUC. Scratch that. PITA would probably have fit!

There’s a slight 1/2 second delay shutting off the sprayer which was demonstrated as I over shot my circles. Timing is everything. 7 hours ago, Marty Backe said: If your drone can look straight down I think the better effect would be higher and stationary. Now, where did I put my Dramamine pills ... Great advice. I’ll hold off putting a camera on my Mten until you find your pills. 7 hours ago, The Fat Unicyclist said: DUDE... YOU ROCK!!! Thanks.

Though you need a bigger canvas (and a plan what to draw). Looking at this a makes me think, a spray can attachment + some easily washable chalk paint (or maybe self-removing paint that evaporates after an hour?) + a remote (or just a phone app) would be a great official accessory by a manufacturer of trendy wheels.

At least in the snow which always does a great job of making things look beautiful. Hey @Scatcat they mentioned 'winter tire' in the end text. I looked on their website and they sell 16" and 18" winter tires. Looks like some deep tread. Maybe useful for your stud project or even just on its own if not going too extreme. Quite surprised to see a tire with that kind of tread working in a V8 shell. https://www.electricunicycles.eu/store_t3_category-winter_and_off_road_tyres-sc__12 Edited December 17, 2017 by WARPed1701D Added link. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, the woman that I passed when climbing to the top of that steep hill had probably spent 2-hours getting there from her car. What I can't get over is the number of people that I pass who are staring into their phone while walking, oblivious to me and all the nature that surrounds them The KS18S is a beast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the new norm. We must accept it as one of the challenges we face and out there on our gliding machines. Can't change the world and no point getting upset about it. Personally @Marty Backe I thinks you should have slowed down for her as she was obviously not aware of you. But if I videod all my wheeling transgressions I'd have a lot t to answer for, so don't take it as criticism, just my observation.

I really wasn't going that fast and I gave her a wide berth when passing. Unfortunately I couldn't go much slower because I was struggling to keep the wheel from speeding up (this was a downhill, rough, trail that you need to keep from letting your wheel get away from you). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was some great riding, the tripod shots really show a different perspective, really cool. That downhill was pretty gnarly in places, probably a low powered wheel couldn't even go down it without blowing the board or overcharging the battery. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
