Not too bad, but they should have mentioned that IT'S FUN Nice ad indeed ...and it’s in English . So that’s a big plus for me too. ? But...”go further , go faster “ than what ???walking ? Certainly not farther or faster than the competitors. Solo wheel /inmotion have excellent build quality, but the v8 in this video and all their other wheels pale in comparison to others in the far and fast categories.

Here are the regs. Make sure if you get your committee interested, be sure to explain the difference between e-bikes and unicycles. Boise went with a 750 watt motor cap because they didn’t think thru the differences well. I will push them next year to limit the speed instead of motor size. https://parks.cityofboise.org/news/2017/12/boise-city-council-approves-electronic-bicycle-(e-bike)-changes-to-city-ordinance/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trya Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 10 hours ago, Marty Backe said: I never do those for nearly that long because I've heard that's a good way to potentially blow a board. we all heard that, but I don't remember a single report about such incident. I think the danger is greatly exaggerated. I remember reports of blowing the board by trying to overcome a small obstacle in a super-low speed. I remember troubles when wheel got stuck, but don't remember any from doing tic-tac or pendulum. Tic-tac is in fact equivalent to series of accelerations and breaking. The change of direction makes no difference. Of course, tic-tac adds some stress to the wheel and raises the temperature of the board - but I don't think that somebody will try doing it long enough to present a real danger. Long mountain climbs put a lot more stress on the wheel, IMHO. 1 hour ago, Scott Henley said: My Mten3 makes a funny noise when doing this ...maybe I should stop . these clicking motor sounds are absolutely normal and don't threaten the control board.

My Mten3 makes a funny noise when doing this ...maybe I should stop . For the Mten3 the biggest threat on iddling will be a battery failure, like several Mten users allready had. The original Mten3 pack, which is a bit different designed than the other GW packs, has a Kind of design flaw, that on one nickel Strip , connecting the 2 parallel series, this Strip carries the complete amperage produced by the pack. That will/might blow.... I dont see a danger of blowing the board when idling. If you do it for longer the temperature of the board should rise and warn you before it blows. Nonetheless i would NOT advise to do that for longer. It just puts incredible stress onto the mosfets AND especially on the battery. And yes, it stresses this parts even more than going up a middle to very steep hill. You can observe that on every amp logging app like wheellog or darkness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Jason McNeil! This was about a month or so ago. We spent a few days in SF just tearing it up - there is a lot more awesome footage that didn't make that specific cut too! I really don't there is any more satisfying of a place in the US to show off the EUC lifestyle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't stop 2 Some Doctor was on here for about a month, one year ago. He bought a few NineBots for himself and his sons. and some upgrade wheels in short order. Practiced in a racquetball court. He damaged his control board from agressive idling. He was a prolific poster for a month, then disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong, safe, quality ride. Now that my KS18S can do 30mph, I am convinced that I own the best wheel made.. hands down. Right up until the KS18L comes out.. and trust me..
