The first guy is Haris. He has tried once before and that was on New Year's Eve. He did a 30 minute session in the long hallway in the basement. This time was his second time riding so very impressive. The fastest learner i've met so far. The other guy is Henrik. He has tried out EUCs before a couple of times with some friends. Also very impressive! A few others at work tried as well but they used the walls for support or I walked behind them holding them by the waist. Fun stuff! The Ninebot One E+ feels like a wobbly toy now after riding the MSX. It was hard for me to adjust! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they just see it as fun / death traps. But they know from my MSX stories that these are definitely not toys. 1 hour ago, Rehab1 said: Your lucky to work with a group of fun guys!

Looking at the thumbnail, it was just on the limit before damaging the rim! Talk about riding on the edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about riding on the edge. Yeah, several things were at play. First, i like to ride with really low tire pressure. Second, the temperature suddenly dropped in Beijing (and further reduced the tire pressure). Third, that was pretty much the sharpest corner i could slam into. I it did bottom out on that hit, but luckily with no repercussions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I it did bottom out on that hit, but luckily with no repercussions. Personally I kind of hate really low tire pressure. It amplifies any side balance input as the sidewalls in themselves are not enough to avoid deformation to some extent. Medium-low pressure is OK, and super high will make you wobbly in its own way, but my favorite is somewhere in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trya Posted January 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Some time ago I posted a video where I was learning the Thompson Switch with the help of rope railing.

Popular Post Mike Sacristan Posted January 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yesterday I went for a ride on my MSX. Battery start: 98% (doesn't go to 100) Battery finish: 17% (this is first time getting this low and hearing beeps especially on inclines) Distance: 50km Weather: -4C and plenty of snow getting stacked up above the wheel inside the MSX body. Average speed: 18.5km/h New top speed: 36km/h. I went for a ride to Tyresö which is around 17km away. Had coffee at a friends house. Rode back and did a bonus lap because I wasn't really done. A part of me was worried about the range and started to overanalyse as I usually do. But the battery is gonna do what the battery is gonna do. Very happy that I can ride during the winter! When the ride was over I bounced the wheel around to get out as much snow and slush as possible. Then I put the MSX in a bucket. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, once you used to it a bit - the poles become quite effective. The advantage comparing to the rope is that they don't confine you to straight line movements and limited space. The disadvantage - the poles are less reliable in protecting you from falling. There are certain tricks, I think, where they might be especially helpful to build up confidence, for example, learning the one-leg riding on the outer pedal (it is easier to learn riding in circles than with the straight line). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
