This is the second of a four part series of videos from our 36 mile electric unicycle ride around Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita, California on 4/7/2019. This episode features Arroyo Trabuco Wilderness. Wheels in attendance were Gotway 100v Monster, Gotway 84v Monster, Gotway ACM2, Kingsong 18XL, and Kingsong 18L. That must have been absolutely gorgeous! I'm extremely jealous now! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutalo Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Attached is the link to Relive video of the 55 mile trail ride around DC that I ran solo last week. The DC Glydiators repeated this ride yesterday. Unfortunately, there is no content from yesterday's run because none of our camera wielding warriors were on deck for yesterday's ride. We will repeat this awesome ride so stay tuned. https://www.relive.cc/view/rt10004442092 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted April 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2019 Finally, I take the KS18XL to my mountain proving grounds, primarily comparing it to the same MSX test. The KS18XL has better low-end power (torque) than the MSX but utterly fails the heat stress test. The MSX remains the best 18-inch wheel for strenuous riding conditions. This is not to say the the KS18XL is a bad wheel. As I state in the video, for climbing or descending super steep hills, I'd rather be on the KS wheel. But for hot days or long up hill slogs, I'll take the MSX any day. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSX is probably a good choice for 'Alton Weagle day' climbing of Mt Washington. https://www.mtwashingtonautoroad.com/events/alton-weagle-day?page=events/alton-weagle-day on Mt Washington's auto road in New Hampshire, May 25, 2019 (6am by invitation?). Last summer ,after watching your mountain stress test videos, I sent an email of inquiry to the Mt Washington auto road staff hinting an interest in using the road off season. Howie Wemyss at Mt Washington replied in late June 2018 "Fascinating! I sure wish we could have had this communication 2 months ago. We have an annual event here called Alton Weagle Day where we invite people to challenge the mountain on a personal basis. That is the perfect platform for you to attempt a ride up the Auto Road on the Gotway. Unfortunately the Auto Road gets too busy and is too narrow to entertain ideas like this in season" A few weeks ago (2019) Howie announced this years Alton Weagle day schedule: "You’re getting this email because you have either been an Alton Weagler in the past or you’ve expressed interest in being part of the fun – or, we think you have what it takes to be a Weagler! Thank you to those who have contacted me already and are feverishly working on your projects." After rebuilding my original Monster's shell and motor I decided that at my weight the prospect of riding the Monster to Mt Washington's summit was not a wise idea as a first big ascent for a mostly level riding kind of fellow. I responded to Howie's bulk email, declining interest for reasons related to probable overheating of the Monster during the uphill climb (7.6 miles). He replied: Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry you won’t be joining us this spring! Howie Wemyss, General Manager MtWashington Auto Road Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center Gorham Land Co. PO Box 278 Gorham NH 03581 603 466 3988 mtwashingtonautoroad.com "More details will follow in early May – but get crackin’ and round up other likeminded folks so we can have another great gathering in honor of Alton."

You're 90% there anyway. Strangely enough, that's not a bad look. But I'd be too self conscious to wear it. Kudos to you. If someone didn't call the cops reporting a hovering alien speeding down the LA river, I would be surprised. I think if you tried, you could be a "colorful" extra in a few movies.

Lefteris Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm sharing this video here cause I've recently started following this guy on YouTube and he may say that all of the information was based on his research and all are his opinions etc. he is quite informed, has some connections that is why he makes the videos and last provides some proof. There are problems with the US dealers but that doesn't stop the Europe and other countries from selling EUCs. Anyway I'd just want us to be informed about stuff that is why I share this here, cause he seams quite knowledgeable. https://youtu.be/A2srFI9vuDI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
