The MCM5 is just flat out "sport" on steroids... not huge distance and it is a 14" wheel, but fun factor and throwing it around is #1!!! Keep saving, if you get hooked, you will own a few wheels... and the MCM5 would help with your adrenaline pump... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are still alarmed when they see me approaching, but they calm down when they see that I have complete control of my wheel. It’s good practice of crawl speed skills plus you can see and hear people’s reactions better and even stop to chat if they have questions. It’s not that crowded where I ride so interruptions are minimal. That’s probably how I can still do an average 31 kph speed with peaks up to 49 kph. I think I’ve heard five complete beeps only a handful of times over 1000 km. I remind myself that I’m riding illegally on a vehicle that can reach 50+ kph so I’d better be the epitome of safe riding or risk having it all end if someone gets tiggerered enough to file a police report. Now most people will say hi or smile or talk a bit since they’ve seen me a few times. It’s all about your internal attitude and perspective. I’m always happy when I ride so I don’t mind varying my speed. Share the road/pathway and be respectful of others. Don’t give into the road rage dark side. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep saving, if you get hooked, you will own a few wheels... and the MCM5 would help with your adrenaline pump... Thanks for the suggestions! There is most likely no chance of me ever meeting someone who will let me try their wheel as there are very few riders here. I have seen 3 riders this whole year. Two on a very cheap model, and one on a gotway. More than speed and adrenaline my wife and I like exploring and for that range and comfort is the most important. We went for a ride on our boards yesterday and I barely made it the last 1km (we did total 40km) so I had to push a bit. My dream scenario would be to go on road / option to go on easy off road, cruising at most 30km/h and good range. So the ACMv2 seems to be the best match. I've had my eyes on the Tesla and lately on the MCM5. So i'll see how far I get with the Ninebot E+ that i've had for 2 weeks and then decide on my next purchase. I already knew going in that I would end up with several wheels. So why did you get the ACMv2 so shortly after the Tesla? The KS16S and Tesla have similar range with the Tesla having more speed don't they? So the Tesla after the KS16s for the speed? And the ACMv2 for the range? Like pokemon I guess you just gotta catch em all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like pokemon I guess you just gotta catch em all! I got the Tesla to make up for the things I think are missing/lacking with the 16S... I know the 16" wheels suit me best all around... the top speed on the KS is around 21mph, it is nice but I wanted a little more speed... the Tesla has a bigger battery (21%), and doesn't reduce speed as battery gets lower like KS wheels. I was not getting really comfortable on my 18S which was my "range" wheel... so Jason let me trade it in for the ACM... I have a Z10 on order but that and the 18L do not have batteries with "range" so I decided the ACM 1600 was it for me for distance riding to replace the 18S, and I could not be happier... I think when the Z comes in, I have all bases covered, but there is a possibility I may get a MSX also... I won't decide till I get some time on the Z, I don't mind buying it but only if I am going to use it.. if the ACM does all my long distance needs well, and I love the Z, I will just wait till someone comes out with something exciting and new like the Z seems to be NOW... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true I forgot about the throttling/sag on the Kingsongs. Awesome of Jason letting you trade in the wheel! The Z10 definitely looks interesting. It will be exciting to see what the final production specs look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Japmerican Posted August 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2018 This thread has got to be the most fun to follow and watch! I really enjoy the camaraderie (that's a big word for me) that is here. I also just finished my first real video of a ride in the Salt Lake City area for those that are interested. It is down the Jordan River Trail. I won't apologize the the length; a little over 19 minutes. But I will apologize for the quality and erratic nature. It was minimally edited and my first attempt at using a selfie stick to get the shot, so not always great. I will definitely be improving on that. But please enjoy the trail and all that Salt Lake City, UT has to offer! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
