I forgot to put it to the side on the ride I'm uploading now (1gb=12mins video & 3hrs to upload). Actually, I probably didnt forget, its just that I removed that as an option after my first ride/video with one. I went near a mile wondering why the hell am i having to lean so hard to the side? DUH, I had the stick way out to the side of me. Such a seemingly light stick and camera, but once you hang it away from centerline.... screw that! It does help you stay at speed when in front of you(jousting from the hip is my fav, but it seems an 'ego' view). I've already bashed it on the ground from a reverse shot. All around, my maxgrip is as dedicated to my viewers as I typically like to be. Edited June 22, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a little break to catch my breath Thanks. It is important to get up on the horse again asap (or wheel). But need to inspect wheel first if it is ridable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In streets like these at high speeds, a kid or animal running out between parked cars give you no chance to react. Being able to reach 70+ kmh and riding g like this, I can only hope they only hurt themself and not innocent trafficants or bystanders. Such a heavy wheel do not stop easy once it is out of control and tumbling. With behaviour like this I think a ban unfortunately is imminent. I do hope that people here see where I am coming from, but I don't expect it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not intentionally! Am I impressed that someone has the cojones to find the limits of these wheels? Absolutely! My hats off to these Chuck Yeagers of the EUC world - real-life crash test dummies. It will be interesting to see how Veteran and other EUC manufacturers respond to these types of videos: Claim that the rider (280+ lbs) was outside design specs and make no changes Design EUCs capable of handling aggressive heavy riders Never again send a wheel to NYC for testing Send every new wheel design to NYC for testing. Maybe this is NYCs version of Overheat Hill? Acknowledge nothing (most likely) To the NYC EUC Collective - your NPS mantra is entertaining to watch, but is terrible for your longevity. So many of your crew have gone down in the last month. Please look out for each others well-being and at the very least, don't let someone in your crew do an intentional cut-out test without fully gearing up. Having a medic around wouldn't be a bad idea either. Edited June 22, 2020 by Asphalt Corrected rider weight from 260lbs to 280lbs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fahrtwind Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) On 6/22/2020 at 11:36 AM, RoadRunner said: I am shocked! There is nothing honourable to see in this video. The man behind the camera calling „Go, go“ even when passenger crosses or a woman wants to cross the street with her bicycle. With this negative demonstration video, how controlable and save an EUC is and how responsible the driver acts, it will get more and more difficult to get these wheels legalized in other countries. No father/mother having children would like to see such a scenario next to the place where they live... But in each hobby you will find negative examples.

redsnapper Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 There was not a ton of margin between this guy and the bystander crossing the street - they were so focused on getting the shot that they totally ignored the risk to others! Can the rider control what happens to the wheel after he falls - what if it unexpectedly careens into they guy biking towards him or into traffic? IMO putting bystanders at risk like this is not cool... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumulus Libre Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 On 6/19/2020 at 9:54 PM, Jon Stern said: I looked at motorcycle airbag jackets. They all seem to require a tether, which isn't ideal. Also none of them seem to offer shoulder protection. i had a look at them a year ago for my motor and EUC , I had contact with the vendor and manufacture but apparently they wouldn't work for EUC's, the explanation was somewhat technical and I forgot exactly why.. but falling of a motorbike is different then from a EUC.. btw not each time you jump of the wheel your airbag should be deployed, but it should when you jump of your motorbike , there are different systems at hands but the one here I think you are unable to refold yourself, other airbags you buy folding it and chasing the Aircan.. but maybe over the year things have changed? I would probably end up buying one if they would work for EUC's too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moltimondi Posted June 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2020 I got my Sherman two days ago. I will try to do a proper video review of this wheel during the weekend when I have some time on my hands. If there is any question that you would like to ask please let me know and I will do my best to answer them. In the meantime this is a small video of me having fun riding around Milano, italy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it appears to be nearer 100 according to other riders My legs were fried the day after. Werent as bad as I expected on the day though. We charged twice for about 1.5hrs each time. We never went below 40% though (those of us that rode the full day) except a guy with a KS16X which was down to 15% and limiting to 15mph for the very last 6 or so miles. We should have let him charge longer, I think he was using less charge than our 6A chargers tbf. Most of us were on 1800wh Niks or 1860wh msx's, all 100v. One guy had an 84v 1600wh msx but I think he had a 5A charger so he was ok but did have more range anxiety than we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post travsformation Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) TLTR: Relive tours—I haven’t found the time to go through my GoPro footage yet—from a 150 km, 3-day expedition on my 16X, from my home city, 45 km South of Barcelona (in a straight line), to a coastal town about 70 km north of Barcelona. I’ve included plenty of pics and videos to keep it interesting (and added a custom soundtrack—Relive’s music choices are awful!), and cut it into two videos to not waste anyone’s precious time should you find them tedious to watch. 😉 My (typically) longer-than-necessary description of the “expedition”: Went on a 3-day expedition on the 16X, taking advantage of the fact my girlfriend went to visit her family last week (lockdown has finally been lifted here, we’re in the so-called “new normal” stage). Averaged 70-odd km/day. Modest daily mileage, I know, but this was a late-departure (no early mornings for me), laid-back, long-lunch, Spanish-style expedition. 😉 Also, packed way too much sh*t in my backpack (Insta, GoPro and respective chargers, tablet, portable keyboard…God knows why I thought I’d need all of that), which made the challenge all the more hefty (corny pun intended). Lesson learned… Getting from my city (Vilanova i la Geltrú, 45 km south of Barcelona) past the mountain range that separates it from the southern coast of Barcelona and navigating through Barcelona and the cities that make up the greater Barcelona metropolitan area, past the city and 60 km north of Barcelona to my destination is more challenging than it sounds—avoiding highways and “state roads”, pedestrian-only areas, etc. and sticking only to bike lanes (arggghhh! But the safer bet when navigating uncharted areas) and roads I’m legally allowed to ride on (PLEV laws are pretty strict here and getting caught riding in the wrong places can carry hefty fines and potential vehicle impound). Komoot proved an excellent tool for planning the route, which I tweaked ad infinitum, alternating between OpenCycleMaps and satellite view, and later exporting the gpx to play it on Google Earth and make sure I hadn’t missed anything (the app directing me towards the freeway, for instance-—which it actually had in a couple places). Overall, it turned out well, with the only issues stemming from blocked seafront mixed-use paths, many of which were obliterated by Storm Gloria, which caused a great deal of damage this winter. Truly impressive views along the mountain range south of Barcelona, especially on the way down, where the mountains gradually give way to the sea, affording a stunning panorama of the coastline. And fantastic riding from Barcelona northwards, right by the water’s edge. A lot of slow riding on compacted sand paths, which can prove pretty treacherous with their unexpected patches of soft sand (especially when wearing a stupidly heavy backpack and paranoid about yet another shoulder dislocation 😅). Funnily enough, COVID-19 measures worked out to my advantage, as a lot of sea-front roads have been cut off to car traffic to give people more space to walk (so they aren’t crammed together on narrow side-walks), allowing me to make up for the slow riding (there were no pedestrians so I often had two entire, car-free lanes to myself). Higher cruising speeds are especially welcome when the summer sun is beating down on you (if life doesn’t give you a breeze, make your own!) There were no viable seafront routes for the last 30ish km, so I had to go inland, which was a nice change in landscape, riding among fields and through woodlands, with a ridiculously steep climb towards the end, which the 16X managed incredibly well, even with the heavy backpack and no pads. The off-roading was fun, but would have been more enjoyable if my knees hadn’t ached so much from the previous 60 km of mostly slow riding with a backpack heavy beyond reason. A very fun ride, with the pleasant surprise of a local rider spotting me on euc.world’s live map (thanks, @Seba!) and intercepting me to ride along with me for a stretch of the tour (first time ever I ride with someone else!). I look forward to doing more such tours this summer (providing I can do so without melting). With a lighter backpack and the ever-so ambitious goal of managing to set off before noon someday, the world will be my oyster! 😂 Edited June 28, 2020 by travsformation 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
