Attempting to pass them one contacted the wheel, yelped and ran off a hundred feet down the trail. They (the couple) said the affected pup was ok as the herd surrounded me and licked my (salty?) hands-glove-wrist guards. Awful friendly and off leash.☹️ I'd thought about turning around and avoiding the bunch but should have dismounted and worked out a better way around them.

Here I go.... I do. it makes the turn easier and faster. I read your prison story. I'm going to put a quote from it on the "aren't my dogs wonderful! Don't you just love them!" thread.

We need to spread the word. Of course he gets some things wrong, but that's because he's a newbie. The one that bothers me the most is his perspective that the Onewheel is better at off-roading than the EUC. He's pulling that perspective out of his butt. As we know, EUCs are far superior to the Onewheel for riding trails and such. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know, EUCs are far superior to the Onewheel for riding trails and such. Depends on what one means by offroading. If we're talking loose sand or gravel, the Onewheel might be able to ride places a EUC will slip (except maybe the Z10). If we're simply talking uneven terrain, the bigger EUC tires are far superior. So yea, EUCs are better, you don't have to tell me The V8 also isn't a wheel that screams offroading until you try it and notice it works surprisingly well. So maybe that's the reason for his opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the tesla, I doubt he tested this yet. I can't imagine what he would say if tested a KS18L/XL MSX or a fixed Nikola/ upcoming KS16X.... To me V8 works as a learner wheel, but as soon you realise the potential.... upgrade is bound to happen.... probably more than once😉 Just looking at your signature would be fun to see what he would say to your garage/euc vault 😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted June 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2019 Not my video. I guess any publicity is good publicity. 3 guys have never seen a EUC before and try to ride it. Goes as well as you expect, and they give up after less than a minute each. Still funny to watch.

Popular Post Mike Sacristan Posted June 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2019 An accidental speed test. I went for a ride to the oval track with Monika today. I set Darknessbot to 20km/h. The alarm never sounded. That's why I get for using my crappy extra iPhone for that. Although I did test it a few minutes earlier. I guess it disconnected. I just told her to ride until the alarm sounded. Then we did some practice on a mini BMX track. She chose a bad angle and scraped the pedal. Then we had a long talk about bending knees. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mike Sacristan Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 Group ride with @LonewolfSWE, @Nils and Monika. And me of course! We started off at the speedway to chat and try each others toys. Then we went for a cruise. I got to try the Nikola and it is indeed a very nicely balanced wheel. They got a lot right with that one. Rendering for now but should be available in all it's 1080p glory soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maltocs Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's amazing how fast kids learn. J (11yo) tried out the MTen3 last year for a total of about an hour. At the end of this weekend camping, she was jumping over speed bumps. Brandon (6yo) has been riding the MTen3 for about 6 months. This weekend he learned how to sit/ride/jump the MCM5. He rides it like mini-motorcycle. 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to get your order in for the Nikola. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i (200lbs) ride the MCM5 800WH and he (49 lbs) rides the MTen3 512WH , he gets probably 30% more than me already. Since he has taken over my MCM5, I can now use him as an excuse to justify a Nikola. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yunicycle Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 With his weight and almost no drag from his tiny body, I would venture to guess 55-65 miles, easy!! 6 minutes ago, maltocs said: When i (200lbs) ride the MCM5 800WH and he (49 lbs) rides the MTen3 512WH , he gets probably 30% more than me already.
