Those ribs are so good you need a helmet to eat them! I like the combination of flying and riding. I often tell people that riding the wheel is the closest sensation I'm able to get to flying while on the ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) If I were the CEO of Ninebot, I'd hire you to do some promo videos and be lead product development consultant @Jonathan Tolhurst. You got some sick moves plus pushing that baby carriage, LOL . Just don't get confused and start penny spinning that baby!

Only a few views - you need to post it somewhere - that's the makings for a viral video They must have been terrified when it was capsizing - glad they weren't injured (which is amazing) The video has been picked up by a bunch of news agencies. This story mentions that I was riding an electric unicycle: https://apnews.com/b8ac0899d0b74a758f69b66e52401cf0/Fire-official:-4-lucky-to-be-alive-after-boat-capsized Really relieved that everyone made it to shore. There were a few minor injuries (dislocated shoulder, cuts, scrapes), but it could have been so much worse if one of the people had been crushed between the boat and a piling.

meepmeepmayer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) @logos122 Nice!!! Price? (You said 1050 in the video? Ali?) Also I feel obliged to mention the charger is not "European" (tons of variants here), but it fits German, Austrian, Belgian, who knows where else (and I believe Russian) outlets.. sorry Stupid that the power cable is affixed to the charger instead of some exchangable plug. Looks like a really interesting wheel, with some minor improvements necessary (that splash guard would be great if it worked fully). Also, somehow it almost looks better with the handle attached than without. The back light is maybe the best for visibility in traffic: relatively bright, projects onto the ground, and it blinks often. What do you mean by smooth, can you describe it a little more? Sounds interesting. Also, is that wood behind the side cushions (at 1:07)? Edited April 1, 2017 by meepmeepmayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that one brought back some memories of "$100 hamburger" flights we did many years ago. Other than the cuisine the only difference was the EUC. Wish I'd had one back then. And I sure do miss flying the small planes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cushions are supposed to be like that. The speed was unlocked with the app. We'll make a follow up video for sure! 36 minutes ago, Marty Backe said: Good unboxing.

I think @Tishawn Fahie has an ACM, so maybe we can do a collaboration, and compare them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds interesting. Also, is that wood behind the side cushions (at 1:07)? It's not my unit, so I'll have forward some of those questions. I'm actually not sure what to describe it (especially thinking back a few days to when this was shot), but maybe it's a combination of the pedals being soft, and the response of the motor, that give it a smooth feeling. I'll ask the owner, and get back to you on that one too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) It's actually my GT16. Me & @logos122 were having a GT16 and Dualtron Man session, plus I'm still too lazy to shoot video. I'll be doing a comprehensive review after the weekend, now that I've had a full week's riding experience. 3 hours ago, meepmeepmayer said: @logos122 Nice!!! Price? (You said 1050 in the video? Ali?)

Appears so. 1 hour ago, Hunka Hunka Burning Love said: Did you manage to unlock the speed limit? Any impressions of the speed capabilities? Tell us more man - don't leave me hanging here! Yes. Still afraid to really push the wheel, as there are rumored reports of cutouts, board failure (but not totally sure what their exact conditions were). More to come in my writeup. 1 hour ago, Marty Backe said: Good unboxing. Can't wait to hear from someone that also has an ACM and and nearby hills. With that 2000w motor I'm intrigued to know if it will climb hills better than the ACM. Trying to get our local NY Gotway dealer to bring his 84V ACM, as he's the only one in the area with one; the other 2 ACM owners have 67.2V. (never been on an ACM myself yet). The limited steep streets I've climbed this week were good (still not fully pushing due to not completely trusting the wheel), but it did enter my mind that, weirdly, my Monster had slightly more power when climbing (when you get both wheels going past initial ascent).

That's not a good sign, as the Monster doesn't exactly excel at climbing. Will wait to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't totally agree here. The initial acceleration is not the fastest, but when I double clutch the pedals hard and get the Monster moving up hill, it's pretty powerful.

You got some sick moves plus pushing that baby carriage, LOL . Just don't get confused and start penny spinning that baby! Thanks for the kind words. I think it would be quite funny to film an EUC comical stunt sequence in the style of "Frank Spencer" from "Some Mothers Do Ave Em" (a 1970s UK sitcom) with a pram/pushchair (obviously substituting out the real baby for a doll): E.g. this kind of thing. 11 hours ago, Marty Backe said: That's great stuff Did you buy that EUC jacket (where) or did you have it made?

In the past week I've had two trick sessions; in the first, I broke my V5F+ handle and in the second I cracked my KS14C shell Doing tricks on an EUC is highly additive but can end up being quite an expensive hobby. I'm on my third E+ and carry out a rolling inspection/maintenance programme. One of the attractive features of the E+ is that you can easily replace parts yourself (assuming you can source the parts - this is harder than it used to be). Some surfaces are much kinder than others with regards to scratching/scuffing the wheel. I know some people practice on grass or artificial turf, or cover their wheels in protective tape. I find smooth concrete (as found in skateparks) much kinder than tarmac. I try to pretty much perfect (>90% consistency) any tricks on the flat before attempting on slopes or boxes. I always remove the trolley handle (I don't think you can do that on the V5F+). I'm just waiting for my (built-in) Ninebot handle to break off - it normally does! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they are taped at the top...and not loose. i guess on your wheel that is missing, because it first was supposed to be sended without batteries... the screws you have to install, also lead in this direction...so the batterie sides very pretty open, or? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
