No. It's true. Inmotion seems to be the first wheel to really show valid power numbers.

That's 40 Amps flowing through the motor (at some specific motor voltage which normaly, especially while idling is lower rhan the battery voltage) with 67 Volts at the battery (wirh some battery current, wich is normally lower than the motor current)

So these are "unrelated" numbers not to be multiplied - this just results in some number which says just bothing...

Don't know which app programmer came up wirh this...

It’s teling you what is coming out of the battery at that given instant.  I don’t understand what you are saying.  To ignore what is coming out of the battery?

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The m10 is great for slow technical trails. Its so easy to turn and zip between rocks. The pedals hitting and when the sand gets too deep are about the biggest problems i have. With the v10F, I also did the upper brown mountain road, MUCH more difficult due to the switch backs and rockiness,. It would have been easier on the m10 but i'm afraid it will burn out.

And I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but when you came down from Mt Wilson along Angeles Crest Highway, you could've shaved 4 miles off your 23 mile trip back if you took this trail. You'd have to cross two more (doable) rivers than I crossed though.

No need to be sorry , just means that there's another new trail waiting for me to try it. Looks like you may enjoy a bit more single-track/rocky trails than I do, based on that video.

check urself for ticks.

looks like fun.

The forest trail ride video

is the 'southern end' trail entrance at Willowdale (post marker 69) on Rowley Rd.

After a 15ish mile ride to the post #68 trail entrance I started my GeoTracker. I planned to loop back onto the section where video from Forest trail was taken at about post marker 65. In short time I found myself at an overgrown and obscure trail head along 'Old Right road' bearing a post marker #63. I had passed the trail junction at post marker#65 without recognizing it as such.

I continued south along Old Right road and back to where my apartment is some 20.7 miles from where the very brief trail ride started at post marker#68.....and no ticks !

I took this picture (couldn't resist) on Sunday after a trail ride through the 'Lynn Woods'.☺

Here's the pitch..... "Honey, seriously, for the sake of the historical memories of our only son, I NEED to get another EUC, an MCM5. There is NO OTHER way to get this kind of footage." I'd throw in "you don't want me to crash the drone into him AGAIN, do you?" but that's a story for another day. Wish me luck!

@Alsayyad hosted this fun group ride through Shady Canyon.  It was great getting the opportunity to ride his new Gotway Msuper X and @Marty Backe's MCM5.

I know the KS16s has been out for a while, this is SpeedyFeet first ever review of Kingsong.

That was fantastic, and precious. Thankfully kids at that age are like rubber. And now you're making me want to take my Mten3 into the woods. After switching to the new tire it's much more grippy compared to the stock tire.

Determined to lord my relative skill over my son while I still can, I've taken my MTen3 offroad again this week and pulled off some cuts that would have destroyed me a month ago, such as over large, loose gravel. I find I have to keep just the right speed and balance, though, or the stock tire's lack of traction will betray me. And if I miss a divot more than an inch deep, the wheel may decide to leave me behind. The thing that convinces me this is not going to be my go-to wheel for offroad giggles, though, is that I feel like I need a mouthguard. Even a tad underinflated, the wheel is so hard that it's like offroading on a shopping cart. (Not that I've ever done this. ). I hope your new tire is better in that regard as well!

Ups. Sorry. No. I did not look in detail at the app screenshots you posted. The label "battery current" there is wrong - it shows the motor current.

For (much) more details on motor vs battery current one can look at the topic:

 https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/7549-current-demand-versus-battery-voltage/

Further discussions should imo also happen there (here in the video topic it's quite offtopic) - or i could split it to a seperate topic...

Seriously heartwarming. I let out an audible "awww" each time it came running back to you after trying to fly

[stephen]

love it that's ace it even come back to him , hope it follows him when he's riding and flying at side of him ? how cool

[Demargon]

Was very fast adopting us, he has 4 days in home and already are mimick the cat "purss"

Hope I can teach to fly soon, I want a flying friend to share my routes

I once reared a sparrow, We realised something had happened to the mother and the chicks were dying until only two were left which I rescued. 

One was always frightened of me and flew away as soon as it was able to.

The other, once trained to fly simply flew back into the greenhouse I’d reared it in each time I took it out to fly. One day I found a big green caterpillar in the garden and, as I picked it up the sparrow flew out of the greenhouse onto my hand and ate it. After that we developed a routine, it would sit on my hand and squawk and point when it saw a caterpillar and it expected me to get it for him. Once it had eaten its fill it would peck me until I wrapped my hands around him to keep him warm with just his head looking out. It was quite astonishing how much it controlled me and how intelligent it seemed to be.

Sadly one morning we found a pane of glass broken in the greenhouse and it had gone, it could always get out during the day through the automatic window openers so it was not a case of it escaping. We think a cat broke the glass and either got or frightened the bird, there were no feathers around but we never saw it again ???

[Demargon]

I try several times to rescue baby birds lost, hurt or falled. The best cases are when I can release in a friendly place and farewell him. Other cases the bird can live with me some years but at last always happens something bad with my others species patners (cats are innate hunters but dogs are tremendously jealous) ?

I'm still a beginner in this wonderfull sport and consume a lot of videos to find new methods to learn more. SimonVideo does not have the best audio and is not so Hollywood-influenced, but I have to say that his advises are very useful!
These tips I tested today, and they really work:

That was great. I could watch you talk about EUCs all day long. This video would be great as a sales tool   (I'm adding it to my Favorites list to show people who may be interested). And I love that you decided to buy the best wheel made - the ACM2 

It goes without saying that you are a complete EUC natural, to be riding like that after only a few day.

I totally agree with you statement about life altering. 

Waterfall speaking...hilarious funny. Keep it up. Ohh and add @Marty Backecomment here too, meaning I totally agree with him. Looking forward to season 1 episode 2 ?.

[Unventor]

So I am being to be able to record some more now and get better quality due to mounts of my vidcam rather having it handheld. I recorded this this morning. After 250km or approx 20 hours of learning and practice this is how far I managed to get.

Fantastic to avoid car queues on my way home. Ride takes approx 5-7min. By car it would often take 20-30ish min for the 1.8km. 

Some smile at my TSG Pass helm, other look at me in grumpy envy...behind my mirrored visor...massive dollargrin. I just love it.

now i have my weekly urge to run outside with my bulky tripod, and my non retractable "selfie rod" and start filming and editing to perfection.

but in 10 days i will be getting a gimbal for my phone yay! it will improve my video quality a lot. but i cant film myself with the gimbal while also being the one on camera  

i will need someone else that usually doesnt have time. to film me :I 

life isnt always easy as a one man filmaking team  

but i will figure something else out. get creative

You are situated around Copenhagen right? I have been toying with idea to take my car down and go about sightseeing a little. But I am spending a lot of cash atm so I am not sure if I have to postpone this to my summer holidays in week 30-32.

Send me a PM if you like to hook up. I might have something special idea on offer you would love?

Thanks Marty, I watched quite a few of yours whIle I was waiting on shipping!
