Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Glad to hear you're okay. I woulda just plowed right through that rope on the Telsa, dragging all those construction bollards with me. They're plastic right? Yeah, I say gun it, and see how far you can get!

Get some protection, please. Yeah I love it too, I just wish I got the 680wh version. But I still did 20 miles today with a charging break in between, and when I carry the wheel up an occasional steep hill to save battery, that extends my range significantly and gives me great exercise.

alcatraz Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ok had the first real crash today. Was riding at night in a semi-lit public square kind of area that has good smooth and modern roads. Had been doing some tricks pretty confidently for 1-2hours. Then on a piece of road checking out the place I hit one of those sharp pointy boxy small speedbumps nearly at fullspeed around 25km/h. The same day earlier I had also pumped the tire up to a high pressure. That contributed to sending me flying. Anyway, I managed somehow to roll on my shoulder like a stuntman. It wasn't planned. I happened to be wearing cycling gloves with palm pads and a thin summer half-cowhide motorcycle jacket. I just got up and kept riding. The wheel had to be restarted a few times to get the gyro stabilized (pedals wouldn't come level with the pavement). After arriving home I couldn't see any damage on jacket, jeans or gloves. Wrists are fine, palms are a bit tender and the shoulder just has a bit of muscle pain as if I hit the gym yesterday. Not too bad. So anyway, I'm joining the crash club. The only other indicent I ever had was also in low light conditions and also alone. I better get some better lights so I see where I'm going. ? /a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtoys7 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 @alcatraz good to hear you came out in one piece. Wearing gear always helps and at times its vital weather you tear your jacket or you skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually joined the crash club the day you first stepped on an EUC (we all did)... It's just that you have now progressed from provisional membership to full.
