They’re all inherent death traps, which I can attest to with my hilarious fail just now stepping on to my wheel and somehow pressing the power button at the same time. No injury but reiterated the fact that the gyro is the only thing keeping you upright. Edited July 12, 2018 by Kael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fallen quite a lot on motor bikes (track and road up to about 100-120km/h'ish), but you generally land on your back or side (thus back protection=life saver) and just slide and hope there are no trees,stones,vehicles in your path...and of course that the leather won't wear out before you are at total stop ?. When doing high speed falls and being speed blind though, I tend to try to get up before at a full stop...just to tumble a bit at the end (maybe from 5-10km/h I guess because it's no big tumble...more like trying to stand and falls down...or stumble a bit ? ) The odd/unusual thing (for me) about falling with EUC's or Segways is that you fall head/elbows first..but so far I have been sliding as well without head touching ground (though never faster than 30km/h), this guy seemed to bounce like a ragdoll it looked like. Hope I never fall like that :-S Edited July 12, 2018 by Boogieman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injury but reiterated the fact that the gyro is the only thing keeping you upright. Yeah but there's no comparison with how a 14" wheel at 25 mph handles bumps Vs an 18 or even 16 inch wheel. There's a reason nobody made a 14" wheel more powerful than 800 watts until this year with the MCM5. I just want an MCM5 for the torque, not the high speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
