Master Blaster Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was goofing around today with a dji Osmo gimballed camera to see if it eliminated some of the bumps in the video, did pretty well - I went through some curb dips and you can’t even tell. Next time I try a video I’ll put it on a selfie stick in “Underslung” mode so I can get the wheel in the vid. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SAdpSMaKI79LmrvPfcoM25_OjhqVqS91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to find out how many members have changed their philosophy on how fast they ride and the safety gear they wear following the rash of accidents. Your accident (as well as a spill I had a few days ago) has gone a long way to change my perspective on safety. I am consciously trying to go a few MPH slower than I otherwise would when at cruising speed. I am also trying to be more attentive to the conditions of the road. I am committed to spending $500 on upgrading my safety gear in the coming months. From now on, if someone new is here and inquiring about EUCs, I will stress safety gear before I say anything about EUCs. I would have said I was particularly sensitive to safety issues when I started, and yet I sit here six months later and am surprised at how much more important safety is to me now. It's a harsh learning curve if you're not used to city driving with a bicycle to have some sort of background for the challenges of urban environments. What caught me most recently was trying to do an emergency maneuver to avoid a pothole too late. I'd have been better to have just rode through it. I wanted to avoid going beyond wrist guards and a helmet for safety gear. Now I'm going to get some knee and elbow protection and upgrade the helmet to full-faced. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Thanks for sharing. When you have a major accident and are reminded daily by the constant pain, it does not take long to be cognitively aware that safety gear is extremely important. I myself cannot take the chance anymore. I hope others that currently don’t wear gear will soon realize that we are riding on experimental equipment with no built in redundancies, manufactured with cheap components and labor. We are the guinea pigs for these companies who unfortunately are not held liable for any injury and or death due to their country’s lack of legal standards.

Now I'm going to get some knee and elbow protection and upgrade the helmet to full-faced. not riding on a closed track so to speak, if u think through it, has to be harrowing. i think of euc being worse than a motorcycle and i didn’t sightsee or fixate on objects riding a motorcycle. it was getting from point “a” to point “b” alive. no time to take in the sights. only when i stopped. i can get disjointed in my driveway if a cow makes a funny sound and i swivel my head to look, and by now, i know every inch of my pavement. i’m looking at my pavement, listening to the wheel, trying to figure what the pedals are telling me and how that pavement is gonna feel coming off at whatever speed i’m riding. if one of us hits a pedestrian doing 25 mph, it will probably be newsworthy. all these florida multiuse paths, i’m sure walking, jogging and bicycles are legal. maybe even inline skates and skateboards but ebikes, eucs, electric skateboards, idk but someday i gotta ask. sure the answer will be no. sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the video is pretty sharp, and it shows up full screen now. It was hard to tell, but it looked like the phone that was making the video was held vertically in portrait mode, and not horizontally in landscape. On my phone, if I hold it vertical the video ends up with two black bars on the sides and only the middle third is video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my phone, if I hold it vertical the video ends up with two black bars on the sides and only the middle third is video. i was goofing “high speed run” and i’m hitting 10mph on my 18s. not wearing any protective gear, like to just go check the mail or lock the main gate, those are my uses for these wheels. donning protective gear for a half mile run ain’t gonna get it. so i just figure if a wheel is gonna try and kill me, keep the speed lowso i can tumble better. obviously, i have no idea, if and when a faceplant scenario happens, don’t wanna know, but hopefully, on my road, flat as it is, not straining anything on the wheel, it will never happen. in the pasture, yes. i’m sure i could burn up any wheel out there. it is rough. i do plenty of walking at the ranch. saving a couple of miles, and not having to burn gas in the polaris or jeep or truck is nice. and someday, Bob is gonna get the hang of running with me without jerking me off the wheel. he’s so frigging fast tho. he lopes at 20 mph, top speed is like 35 mph for him.

Popular Post steve454 Posted March 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Nice video from Brazil, interesting houses and scenery, with a tiltback crash at 13.5 mph. The rider did a judo roll and was not injured badly. After the crash he replayed it in slo-mo, then if you set the speed to 25% on the slo-mo, you can really see it. It's kind of neat how colorful the street and houses are. Edited March 10, 2018 by steve454 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bob Eisenman Posted March 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) The self balancing electronics shutdown of the Ninebot One E+ and the Gotway Monster are very different in a low speed riderless scenario, such as a run off following loss of rider control. This 1st video has 6 parts: 1- Ninebot at rest falling over 2- Ninebot low speed shutoff #1 3- Ninebot low speed shutoff #2 4- Monster at rest falling over 5- Monster low speed shutoff #1 6- Monster low speed shutoff #2 My Monster recently gave my calf leg muscle a severe whack in a rider's stumble off of a low speed 90 degree turn.

This is the first worthwhile use of an EUC and snow that I've seen. Can demonstrate things like this without scratching up the wheel. Yeah, we all know that Gotway really sucks in this regards. On a positive note, looks like since the introduction of the Tesla, Gotway wheels now shut down rapidly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
