How do you keep your wheels charged enough so that you get more than 50km per day? Monster chargers? It's still a few hours to charge a big battery fully with fat charger. We do most of our trips in Strasbourg, near the German border, so if you want to come you are welcomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilmann Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Watch out @Hansolo and @Pingouin! If you keep advertising these meet-ups, you'll find yourself babysitting a bunch of language-crippled "Krauts" in not time . Just like @meepmeepmayer I'm seriously tempted ... @Pingouin: your gathering looks very inclusive. Apparently, even a brave "Hoverboard" rider managed to keep up. How can I tell those family oriented events from the more ambitious sporty ones? Asking, 'cause my girlfriend can't be persuaded to hop on a unicycle, but she loves her airwheel S3 (a sorry excuse for a Segway, starting the protest beeping at 13km/h and topping out at 16km/h). That would be a great opportunity for me to take her along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, What we do is a choice, some of the Paris trips are not as inclusive, but we choose to divide our trip so everyone can come, or goal is to promote electric rides in a positive manner, showing that even with a small budget, there is a place for those who want to take a step in our universe. For this particular trip, we had the trip divided in 3 parts, with a recharge in a restaurant. We still had some folks who forgot to recharge, and some unfortunate events with some wheels (burned PCB, in the water..) but in general everything goes fine. We always have a second tour for those who want "more" and have enough speed & battery for it, but the group generally ends up with 20 riders then, but it is only when the initial tour is completed and that we've said goodby to those who can't come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said to meepmayer, you are very welcome to join us, I can give you the dates for the futur tours when they are planned if you want, we also organise some longer trips on the sundays when the weather is good, with fewer people (5-10). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is 100 km per day Afaik 7A might be dangerous for the usual GW charge ports without modification... just so you know. Maybe you already tested and everything works, but people here say 5A is fine, and between 5 and 6, charge port robustness starts being something you have to consider. 1 hour ago, Tilmann said: Watch out @Hansolo and @Pingouin!

Maybe we should some time gather a few German riders and do a concerted France invasion visit. -- @Pingouin, @Hansolo Thanks for the info and offers! Very impressed with the amount of organization going on there, by the dealers and everyone else.

meepmeepmayer Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 eroue.fr is a dealer right? Maybe the combination of available dense infrastructure, good dealer involvement, and French mentality is the secret. Did Solowheel maybe start with France (for some reason) for Europe sales, and that's how the difference to other countries is so notable? @KingSong69 You're staff now? 100% deserved! Congratulations (on the extra work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotmotion2016 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 8 hours ago, Hansolo said: In June, we go to Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Den haag, Rotterdam) for a weekend (15 wheelers at the moment). Me and three other wheelers going on the wheel from Paris the week before (600 km) When you leave paris could be nice to post parts of the ride. When you arrive in amsterdam, it should be nice to meat up. Probebly some more dutch riders will be interested for a meat up( i think/hope ). We have a groups app, maybe by that time we/i can add you to it. For me the only problem is communication, my french is as good as my japanese and swahili. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansolo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 @gotmotion2016 as you can read my English is poor, my japanese is very poor (my wife is japanese ) but in the group, some wheelers can communicate in English without problem. We will share our trip on Facebook with real-time location (live traker CAPTURS). We will probably arrive from Paris on Friday 16 June, the departure to Den haag (With two steps to eat and recharge) is scheduled on Saturday 17 June from the Amsterdam train station around 9H00 AM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yachting World (British yachting magazine) looked at some space saving transport options. Not much of a conclusion, but I think he liked riding the EUC (as opposed to the boring rest). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) @logos122 Nice video (also enjoying the music choices on your channel). Hoping some of you won't learn the "wish I would be more visible when going in the dark" lesson the hard way Also, crazy huge camera setup with a fat gimbal (seen at the end). Wondering how much that cost. Don't crash when carrying that edit: looks like this is @Tishawn Fahie? Looking foward to the footage!

Citi Wheel Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 @meepmeepmayer Yeah, I need brighter lighter. I was riding the inmotion but even that being the brightest EUC, is not optimal. Yeah Tishawn's setup is legit! I believe he uses a Sony A6300 on a zhiyun crane. Def can't wait for his footage to come out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jonathan Tolhurst Posted April 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2017 Piggy-in-the-middle penny spin boomerangs & Self sustaining penny spins Two new tricks that I have filmed today, both of which are variations of the penny spin but this time I have deliberately made the wheel spin on an elliptical orbit. Under certain conditions, this sets off a self-sustaining spin. The Piggy-in-the-middle penny spin boomerang requires the wheel to complete at least one orbit around the rider before the rider remounts. The self-sustaining penny spin is just a less controlled version of the above - the wheel will continue to spin until it either hits something or the rider remounts! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sidestreet Reny Posted April 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hey folks here is a long ride to the skatepark on my KS14D, doin some hops and jumps on the way and some selfie tricks when I got to the park.
