Popular Post steve454 Posted August 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2017 Pretty good demonstration of low battery behavior. I think the yellow Kingsong is the same one @Stan Onymous recently got from Will. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly do, but: i really also dont know how to get to that low battery :-) When you have -just some- knowledge of your EUC...you know that even on a slightly acceleration or uphill (or braking) it can make the voltage drop by a scale of 15-20%. Thats one of the reasons why for me i will allways try to finish driving when my batterie is -minimum- at 25%...better is 30%! Than even with a big draw/voltage drop i can not come under the "empty" voltage and my chances of having a cut-off or battery damage because depleting it to much is next to zero....

I agree with you, and that's why I've never experienced it with my Gotway wheels. It only happened once on my KS14C when it was relatively new to me. I took it on a round-trip ride that I misjudged, and ran out of battery. I had to get my wife to pick me up. While I was waiting I kept riding it to see how far I could go and it eventually started beeping continuously and tilted back like in the video. I was at 2-3% battery 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rehab1 Posted August 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2017 I went to Pokagon State Park in Indiana today and rode next to their long toboggan run. This place is packed with visitors in the winter. I used the Passport Hover Camera for some aerial shots. Passport recently updated their software and it followed me like a charm. I rode at a moderate speed (no @Marty Backe gear required) as I was not sure if EUCs were even allowed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a fun place to take a ride, and those hills are probably quite a bit steeper than they look on camera. Love the drone shots. That's exactly how I'd like to use one if I ever take the plunge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a treasure trove of interesting places to ride in the future. If you remember the Hover camera is the drone that was pissed off one day and came charging at me before hitting some bushes. It now follows me better than the Mavic and at a lower altitude. Apple now sells the Hover Camera. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know why they did software updates. It was probably too adventuresome before.

I think the yellow Kingsong is the same one @Stan Onymous recently got from Will. I actually got both of those from @KaleOsaurusRex ! The H1 is really an anomaly. Like those big dung beetles that can fly. Oh sure they can fly, but dont expect them to go fast or be graceful doing it. Thats why they make a noise when they fly - it says "watch out beetle in the air". It is an extremely fun learning wheel. No hard shapes to collide with and not too high for falling off and jumping onto. It could be the Bumble bee KS14c in the background since he didnt ride it. ? It had a battery recharge problem, that I fixed, so it wouldve been a great choice for low power riding. I even think I would look very much like him if I lived in Dallas too, ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't look like him, isn't that @KaleOsaurusRex in the video? I thought the Huanxi looked like a good low speed wheel, it accelerated pretty quickly in the video. I saw your video of the car show and you were riding a yellow Kingsong, and in one of your earlier posts mentioned buying it from Will as one of his last in stock items before closing down.

Yo, I really thought they would too, the whole problem was that they force me to my elbow instead. I need these Roller Derby wrist guards I saw that don't go up the arm to high. Or weightlifting gloves that have wrist support as well palm padding. I NEED to start watching my guitar hands better! Music is my life and EUC's are the delicious sprinkles on top....and they are very delicious. ;-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
