You must have quads of steel! I don’t see any type of knee support.

In such terrain, the driving speeds are so small that I did not consider it necessary to put on the shelters.
Sure, all the falls will come with incredibly fast surprise.

Even if the terrain looks smooth, there can be something insurmountable under the plants, or a large pit that can not be crossed.
Of all the worst are a few inch thick stems of wood.
They do not see them at all and they stop effectively.
On top of small tree stumps it really does not want to crash.
They may go through the skin.

When something hits the pedal, today I can already avoid falling too frequently.
This kind of terrain requires a lot of power, both from the device and from the man.
This is incredibly hard to drive.

Had to put extra good cooling on my EUC.
Although the battery is 84V. With a smaller voltage than this kind of driving you can not even dream.
Without efficient ventilation it would have overheated in a matter of minutes.
Now the heat of the circuit board does not rise at all.
But the engine has to cool down with water.

that’s my jam! not quite as bad as urs. no big rocks, cypress knees which could be worse. i call it technical riding. slow and extremely physical in a great way and big fun. falling makes me laugh. exercise ur core unbelievably. the 18s especially. 

not sure which wheel is gonna be the ranch winner. this isn’t a beauty or speed contest, this is just be able to do it with the least amount of what i call splat dismounts. if i didn’t need to survey my ranch this way with Bob, i wouldn’t have got into this but i think it’s gonna work and i won’t kill myself.

when i used my 2006 ktm 525exc, i did two rear sprocket changes to make it slower and added an electric fan so it wouldn’t overheat doing technical riding. being able to go where a 4 wheel vehicle can’t is a big deal.

Hi,

I recommend https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ 15. It can be downloaded as free version. The only downside is that you can not publish 4K videos with the free version, otherwise it will work perfectly.

Regards

I publish 4K video with the free version.  Works excellent.  For example, here is the most recent:

If you say so, then I have to go over my settings.

Now, when I clicked your link, I discovered that I've seen the video before and it's one of the few EUC videos I've given my thumbs up for. Good work!

Regards

I was out looking for things to do tricks on and I bumped into some folks that needed help. Pretty rare that you get your good deed on film. The caregiver girl kept the selfie shot going. Good day..

Do you guys hold hands for support while riding, or just because you like to hold hands  ?

Maybe so :  We have a lot of beautiful women, in the spring in traffic and therefore she doesn't want to let me go ride alone ? !

( She can drive quite well, but still afraid. I still hope that it she will start to EUC ride independently once ? )

I was just chatting with a friend who just moved to Tallinn (from the States) recently and your video pops up! Thanks, now i can relate to where he moved to. He says he's about 5 miles from where parts of your video was shot. Obviously not the USA, everyone is so skinny!

Marty, for the record, at least one person is waiting anxiously for the video to see if you made it to the top. No Spoilers Please.

I was really bummed this weekend. I drove to the base of the mountain but it was drizzling - a very wetting rain. I actually waited over an hour, thinking the skies would clear, but it never did  

I'll try again this Saturday.

I must say that it looks very interesting, and even a bit daunting. The part of the 'road' that I could see looked to be about 10-degrees for a loooong way.

As long as you take smartly timed breaks you should be fine though, right?

I did notice the drizzle and wondered if you'd go for it. It went away early afternoon. Being safe on a unknown is always a good thing. Better luck Saturday. From what I read and remember from my mountain biking days, it's very consistent and yes, alllllll the way up.

I left at noon and it was still raining ! A few miles away and it wasn't. Just one of those days.

I think the incline won't be a problem unless the 'road' is in bad condition. Guess I'll find out.

Wow, a ~ 17% climb for miles might be more difficult for the wheel than "Heat-Break-Hill". I am sure the entire climb is not that steep in all parts .. but still. I join the list of anxiously waiting watchers for your coming video.

Wait, wait, wait… Are you saying it RAINS in Southern California?

Have you been leading us on all this time???

That’s so sweet.

Looks just like Mrs. Rehab1 and me as we ride together.

OH NO! You got rained out for one day? Your weather sucks! ?

17% climb means going for a few (like 3 or 5) minutes, then waiting for at least the same time for the wheel to cool down. Even 10% is probably above what you can do consistently without overheating (or worse in the 17% case).

So my guess is, if these percentages are real, the trip won't be too long (distance wise - the time to carry a broken wheel back down from where it failed might very well be long).

Marty, wear your protection and maybe carry the mten3 in a backpack so you can get down in reasonable time again Really looking forward to see how this turns out! Just film everything so anything that happens can at least entertain us

THIS is real EUC testing, respect!

@Marty Backe, definitely should take a spare wheel up with you. Or tools to repair.  If you are bringing a spare wheel, first thing that comes to mind is that you do 80% charge instead.  

I, like everyone else here, am waiting.
