Is that true or were you just messing with Marty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you refer to 25:20 crossing - I was at green, but the light is not visible...second week already (sigh). There were two dangerous moments in this particular trip: at 16:04 and 16:31 my "supposedly" main path was cut consecutively by female pedestrian and male biker....sigh...not everyone on these paths has a driving licence and even so, not everybody follows the rules.

Hey, thanks for the responses. I love that finger bell, and I'm going to get a couple. Your description of the nonconscious biker teen cracked me up :-) Keep enjoying that commute and stay safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q~ Actually you only have to buy one. The downside is that it takes a month to get it. I've ordered some similarly priced hardware from China like this and did get it. But it took weeks. Amazing that it's worthwhile for them to sell it for free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIdeo is below! Awesome video, very professional, great editing and post. I wish I had visited the area the many times I travelled to and twice stayed in Arizona for extended periods. (How) did you charge the Ninebot, and how did you make it go so fast on the trail? Edited September 20, 2016 by litewave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbfrese Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) (How) did you charge the Ninebot, and how did you make it go so fast on the trail? Charging was easy, I used a Sears DieHard inverter to keep it, my phone, Garmin VIRB video camera and other electronic toys charged up. (I always idled the engine in the Echo when I was charging the 9Bot.) Going fast was even easier -- the trails were almost always empty mid-week when I was there, and when I was editing the video, I doubled the speed for pacing purposes. It may seem fast when you're on the trail, but when watching on video when you get home it always seems painfully slow!
