I have my Tesla set with first 2 off, third one kicks in I think just under 30 mph, If that' what you have set, U got some Big COJONES... LOL, both alarms off, but this is MCM5 so 3rd alarm is what you hearing, my speed is 35-40km/h (23-25mph). I usually ride slower but at times you just wanna push it (full face helmet, bike jacket, gloves and knee/ sheen pads) complete protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look to @yourtoys7 to give me confidence that you can ride really fast on these wheels. thanks @Marty Backe glad I contribute in someway to this community... Usually I try to stay under 3rd alarm, but Im still getting a feel for mcm 5 (on my msuper v3s I could almost know when Im crusing at 45-50 km/h (28-31mph). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick that camera on an MSuper and the ride will look a lot more stable. yes, absolutely. There is some video of me ataching gopro to my msuper v3s and outcome is very, very different. If I use the stick I really have to concentrate during my ride and I feel I can't go as fast..... takes time to learn I guess., but I will post something soon, it just wont be as fast.

OK... so I guess you are either not that crazy, or I am almost as crazy as you are... LOL... I am always riding my 16S on the alarm at 21 mph and it is comfortable... I am riding the Tesla around 21-22 now mph and it feels solid, I have gone up to 26 for a very short burst, but that is a bit much for my comfort right now... I have had my 18S at 26 mph and that feels super quick and solid as well, not unsafe, just thoughts of a hospital visit and I slow down... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwheel Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is the raw 360 footage from my morning commute yesterday. I've done this run every day to work and back for the past year, including in the dead of winter. (Actually, I sometimes take other routes, but not often.) Taken about 6am, the run is about 6.1 km in length and takes a bit over 11 minutes, which is about normal for that time of day. It gets a bit shaky in spots in the middle, I apologize for that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Incredible footage from a Gotway Tesla Rider using an Insta 360 camera. To view the videos in 360, watch via youtube, then simply move your phone around or touch the screen to view everything including the surroundings.

Popular Post maltocs Posted July 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Just got back from Miami. I expected T-storms 10 minutes here and there but it was more like monsoons half the day! Finally a break in the afternoon allowed me some MTen3 wheel time on the boardwalk, wood plank walk, pier, and on the SAND itself. The packed sand on the half of the beach further from the water was totally rideable. The parallel wood planks was more of a challenge. Considering ewheels is in the South Beach area, where was @Jason McNeil ? Edited July 25, 2018 by maltocs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eddiemoy Posted July 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2018 Playing with 360 camera, I like this one for framing. Resolution still needs a bit. Maybe 6 or 8k will be the norm for theses in the future. Then this will be the video of choice! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an Ay Monster t shirt you are wearing? Is that a band? Because I had a friend from Switzerland who had a band named I monster in the USA. Seems like Aye Monster is the Spanish equivalent.

Yes it was very ridable sand. Not sure if this is typical. I can't explain why the sand is flat there. Every other beach i've ever been on is super sandy on the land side and flat where the waves hit it. My guess is when it poured a few hours before, that WHOLE area was flooded flattening the sand. The "perfect storm" so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "perfect storm" so to speak. The reason that Atlantic sand is easier to ride on than Pacific coast sand comes down to tectonics according to lifehacker.com The West coast Plates are jutting up at the edge of the coast against the pacific plates. This prevents sediments from gathering in run off to form barrier islands. The East coast has a gentle and long slope to the next plate, and this allows the sediments to gather at the beach sand and further out forming more channel and barrier Islands. The East coast sand has more sediments between the sand grains keeping them in place. So it easier to ride on when moisture is introduced to fill the gaps even further. I have even read an opinion that Atlantic Sand is finer and Pacific sand is larger, but there was no data just an opinion. I have a one wheeler friend who says he rides his on the beach all the time, so both of these explanations would support his claim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
