There probably aren't that many EUC riders in the whole United States I think the reasons for the vibrant EUC community in France vs. the very slow adoption in the USA would be a very interesting research topic.

MaxLinux Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 IPS 121 is one of the best values available for a 16-inch wheel. I have owned 5 (3 121, 2 121+) with 0 problems. I currently have 2 121+ which I ride several times per week (the other days I'm on a 191 Lhotz). https://alldaywheel.com/collections/inventory/products/ips-122 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ombre Posted May 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2017 Here's a quick sample from our ride in Phoenix today. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera out during the really good parts like the farmer's market, the central part of downtown, the museums, etc. But it was a great day with not-too-hot weather and good company. This was Emma's first day riding her Inmotion V5F+ (graduated from Airwheel) but you wouldn't know it. [proud dad] At 1:10 Emma had to do a run-off because her wheel got bogged down in loose gravel. At 2:27 you can hear a parking lot security guard yelling that we needed to leave. We rode up to the fifth floor and took the elevator down. At the end we have @dbfrese's crash immortalized. He was trying to toss a Nerf football. My alleged crash was not captured on video. Final score: about 15 miles of exploring downtown Phoenix, taking a little over four hours including breaks. It was a great day. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Me and my wife were on the meeting in Paris on the 30th of april and it was really special . Since i saw the first video of the Paris euc comunity rides i wanted to participate one day not just for the amazing scenary but for the good spirits that i could feel on the videos . First of all I want to thank for all the e-rue staff and the Paris riders for the kind and friendly reception . I was delighted and impressed to see people of all ages , from 8 to 70 and diferent tipes of personal electric transportation devices and characters ( there was even a priest and a very skilled rider with a long kilt like skirt that seemed to be floating on air ) , sportive and leisure riders all riding together in a fun and friendly spirit . In a world of increasing discord and intolerance when we are in the brink of self destruction the people of Paris shown me that there is still hope for the human race . They even were kind enough to talk to me in english as i dont speak french at all and made me feel very confortable among them . An amazing display of tolerance and sharing . No competition , Just lovely , beautiful people riding their eucs and havind fun together in peace and harmony . We desperately need more of this in the word at the moment. I believe Jhon Lenon would join us in this ride . Congratulations for Paris riders . Showing how to do it once again. Please keep riding and sharing your amazing videos with us .

Penny Spins are great fun, although it does take a lot of practice to land them consistently. If I get a good spin then I can land most types about 80% of the time. The more I practice remounting the more I perceive the wheel to slow down during remounting - it definitely slows down during the straight penny spins; with the self sustaining spins, it speeds up and slow down in cycles. The cape is just a bit of fun (it's meant to be a Jedi robe ), I have previously tried to trick people into thinking "returning boomerangs" work because the wheel understands voice commands . 3 hours ago, Hirsute said: The video from my last freestyle session.

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) A tiny branch did that? So a low speed, high current demand ended frying a MOSFET?

freetheoranges Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello all. I know the speed of the TG-T3 isn't head turning or anything, but I'm having a blast riding! Found a short path that connects two roads to get me home faster: https://youtu.be/OYZuIuTv2Wo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUCMania Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 41 minutes ago, EUC Extreme said: This is just like what happened to my Msuper 3. I bumped to a curb on the side at low speed. The EUC turn to the side to face the curbe. Very light bump, and the balance was lost. When I turn it off and on. the EUC shaked just as in the video. After I open the case, I saw one leg of one MOSFET and a piece of plastic near it was blown off. It is hard to imagine why such a small bump can do that much damage. Where this huge (demand of) current come from. The control board logic should be modified to prevent such large current at very slow speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping for an InMotion upgrade to the V8! Just as there are 'lemon' cars, the same can be said amount many products. The vast majority of all wheels have no problems, and I would venture that we hear more about some Gotway problems because of number being sold relative to other products. To use as an example, if Inmotion had the same level of excitement in the enthusiast camp as Gotway does we would probably read about more random failures with them too. I would be seriously interested in an upgraded V8 too. I just don't think it'll ever happen. They've been producing wheels for a long time and certainly have the technical know-how. Clearly they have no interest in pursuing the enthusiast market. Same with Segway. You're stuck with Gotway, KingSong, and maybe Rockwheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
