Popular Post eddiemoy Posted May 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I want to do a challenge of how slow can you go without going backwards. 10ft? 20ft 30ft? any longer would make for too long a video LOL Cannot go more than 3ft side to side? if you fall you have to do over. have to be on the pedals the whole way through. Any takers? Edited May 2, 2018 by eddiemoy 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point you will get it just like going forward. You will fall and it will feel really scary, but your mind will figure it out just like going forward. And no, it doesn't have to do with the wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjon12 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Interesting article/video about using scooters in cities. This may or may not be a good thing for EUCs. On the one hand, it gets the general population used to seeing PEVs, but on the other, it might force cities into creating restrictive laws. https://www.circa.com/story/2018/05/01/business/scooter-share-the-latest-on-demand-transportation-tech-rolls-through-us-cities-maybe-even-yours-soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Hello Cannings, the Tesla handles differently to other 16 inch wheels as the battery is low down, it is less top heavy. It's more sensitive compared to other 16 inch wheels, so it may take alittle longer to get the hang of it. Just keep at it. Surprisingly I have never fallen over going backwards yet. Keep it at a low speed. Edited May 2, 2018 by Edddeus Incomplete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller wheels are easier. My Mten3 is effortless, the Monster, not so much. But once you have the basics down, it's fairly easy to ride backwards on any wheel including the Tesla. Actually the Tesla is a bit easier due to the stiffness of the pedals. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful now @Rehab1 don't give the wife more ban-fuel ?? @eddiemoy nice moves....once I can ride 10miles (with no overworked muscles or join pains, close on that target now) in one go I pick up the pendulum move and short distance backwards riding skill on my training task list.

novazeus Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) The 2017 Florida Statutes Title XXIII MOTOR VEHICLES Chapter 316 STATE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL View Entire Chapter 316.1995 Driving upon sidewalk or bicycle path.— (1) Except as provided in s. 316.008 or s. 316.212(8), a person may not drive any vehicle other than by human power upon a bicycle path, sidewalk, or sidewalk area, except upon a permanent or duly authorized temporary driveway. (2) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318. (3) This section does not apply to motorized wheelchairs. there goes my dream of having an euc friendly live-work-play development. gonna have to build the multi use paths but can’t use them for euc riding. depending on how u read this, euc could be banished to private property only.
