I don't know if he sped up the video, but I don't think so. Turbo Hoover board (EUC) I agree, I think the video is actual riding speed. I was laughing at myself in comparison to this guy. "Fast" for me is about half of his speed! I usually ride at "sightseeing speed". I like to look around and enjoy the scenery going by. Did you see those jumps UP? He went over them as if they were flat! I liked his slalom between the trees in front of the stadium too.

Popular Post gotmotion2016 Posted July 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2017 Some off riding with my acm 1600wh, QC from 7th of march. No problems with the wheel at all, dit over 1500km since begin of april. Love the wheel, the performance, the power, the speed and the maneuverability. I think i can say that not all the gotway wheels have problems. And when the acm performs how it should perform it is a great wheel to ride. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marty Backe Posted July 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2017 The late afternoon of July 8th the Southern California riders hosted a Griffith Park ride for @The Fat Unicyclist(far right in the thumbnail below) as he was visiting from New Zealand. Even though he had gotten off his plane earlier in the afternoon he managed the ride just fine (I planned an easy route for him ). I think he really enjoyed the evening and I know we enjoyed his company (strange accent and all ). Be sure not to miss where he crashes my MSuper at ~6:30 into the video (sorry Kevin, I had to include at least one crash in the video, and you're it ). Also joining us were @who_the and @Kevin Grandon who drove all the way from San Francisco just to join the ride. Thanks guys! I still can't believe you made the drive And rounding out the group ride was @Stan Onymous, @jrkline, @Ando Melkonyan, @Sven, @noisycarlos, and @YoshiSkySun Thanks everyone for joining me on this beautiful day for a trip around Griffith Park. 10 riders is a record turnout for Southern California 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the ride, the loaner wheel, and the awesome keepsake video (I just need to work out how to download it now). And great to meet everyone else too - especially the SF contingent (who travelled nearly as long as me to get there - only I got to sleep on the way). No worries about including the "fall" - any fall that you walk away from is a good fall. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to @The Fat Unicyclist it wasn't much of a crash. What's hard to tell from the video is the fact that it was very steep there. Kevin had never ridden an Msuper or any wheel like it until about an hour earlier. I think he just hit a large rock and it threw his balance a little. This stuff happens all the time when trail riding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get tripped up riding on uneven grass sometimes and it is when I turn and hit the pedal on something. It looks like what happened, wasn't sure.

It looks like what happened, wasn't sure. Thanks, That hill is a lot steeper than it looks in the video - I was going as fast as the wheel would lift me up that part, but then misjudged a small rock. It felt like the wheel slowed fractionally trying to summon the necessary torque... But I didn't due to my lean, and stepped off. Had I been more familiar with the wheel and the track, it would have been different. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that you were stress testing the MSuper on a steep hill with about 70 pounds more weight than usual. It was climbing well, and even hitting that bump didn't fry the board. It was a good place for the @The Fat Unicyclist to see the power of the Gotway. I am sure he was impressed with the hill climbing ability. No wonder he wants to upgrade to one. That looked like a great ride! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a difficult one... Mainly as I was swapping out wheels, and they were all unfamiliar. With that in mind though I think the power on the hill was marginally better, but the big factors were the 18" wheel (which rides better), and the huger Wh (which doesn't deplete to the point that a stop is necessary). 7 hours ago, Rehab1 said: Oh the BBMountain image that just popped into my mind!
