who_the Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This is it... The ultimate test of your personal electric vehicle, and the new Ninebot Z10, courtesy of eWheels and @Jason McNeil. Pacifica to Half Moon Bay up and over Old Pedro Mountain Road. The first 8 miles are technical and semi-technical trails. Rest of the ride is wide open pavement through Montara and alongside the Half Moon Bay Airport. Before Devil's Slide, before "the tunnel," there was Pedro Mountain "Road," a winding, treacherous and wildly entertaining 6-1/2 miles with 1,000 feet of vertical climb (and descent). The remains of the original 100-year-old road up and over the hill between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay are technical, rutted, challenging, and super fun and doable on our EUCs. This is the fourth time Bay Area Electric Unicycle Group has made this ride. This ride is a UNITY Ride with San Francisco OneWheel Riders. We'll stop for lunch and charging at Princeton-By-The-Sea and then... ride back. This ride is suitable for wheels > 1000wh. Meetup: Starbucks, Linda Mar Shopping Center, PacificaSaturday, Aug. 4, 12 - 5 p.m. MORE INFO AND RSVP (Facebook link): https://www.facebook.com/events/211754712875196/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the wheel is currently constituted (missing low-end torque) and the non-Gotway battery size, the wheel probably won't be fun and you'll run out of juice (and we don't have a fast-charger for this wheel). You've been forewarned And your description of this ride has me worried . Are you trying to scare people away or encourage the daredevils to come I guess I'll bring my ACM2. Hope I don't burn up a control board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who_the Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Didn't mean to oversell this ride. We've had riders complete this trail on a 67-volt ACM, Inmotion V8, and even an original Solowheel (battery range, not trail conditions, limited this wheel). This will be our group's 4th time on this trail and we've never had any serious issues or problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend and I want to see it so badly it's not even funny, and if she could try it, it would go a long way towards her forgiving me for riding off alone with you guys with our only trail-capable wheel...

Yes we will bring the Z10 at this ride. Again, I didn't mean to oversell the conditions, I am almost entirely certain the Z10 will be fine on this ride, and under no circumstances will we endanger or imperil any equipment or riders, promise!

I'm handing the Z10 off to Jesse Friday afternoon, so he'll have it in the area for the next X weeks. It'll certainly be there Friday evening and I suspect Jesse will be riding it on Saturday too.

Arbolest Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Well, I don't have Facebook (and don't see myself getting an account for just about any reason) so I figured I'd say it here: I'll see you all on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
