avevo Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Man, this has been quite a fun ride: a wheelchair-friendly pine wood park in the east side of the Vesuvius. Nobody was there (3pm, hot sunny day). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varamontelo Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hello, he is right to tell you about the drone. I use it to monitor herds. It does not fly at low altitude, it does not hit any pedestrians, trees, fences, it has a zoom to see an injury on a cattle or a crushed crop or coyote droppings. It flies between 0 degrees and 40 degrees. It is comfortable in winter and not dangerous. No programming at home in front of a screen. Mine consume less than the wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varamontelo Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 For the drone question, I use Yuneec typhoon for the camera quality, but flight too short only 15 minutes. I have two. I also use two DJI mavic air2 for 3 batteries of 25 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robse Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) Many people think they are riding incredibly fast on their wheels... in reality it is turtle speed, after all. A little weekend entertainment: The guy in the video has now survived these stunts for over 20 years.. and it's not because I like his way of putting other people's lives and health at risk, but he rides fast, idiotically fast.

litewave Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Danish drivers must be very disciplined and well-trained. I saw many motorcyclists in Germany on the Autobahn who rode insanely fast, splitting lanes, but not weaving as much as this guy. In a more chaotic state, he would not be so lucky. I also suspect that he knows every meter of the road he is riding on intimately. As for "turtle" speed, it's all relative. I routinely hit 25mph on sidewalks with no pedestrians on my MCM. 25mph is very fast for that kind of riding, dodging overgrowth, broken concrete, driveways, parking lots, etc. I frequently get positive attention from motorists who slow down to ride along side of me for a mile or less. But I know the routes I ride extremely well. When I hop onto the road where there is no traffic, the MCM is way too slow for traffic conditions (45mph, no bike lane or shoulder). Even my S22P is too slow to ride 'safely' in regular traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
