Chris Grant Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hey what's up man! Here in Chicago too, not often to see other wheel's around that aren't Boosted or OneWheels. Where do you usually ride? Weather is starting to turn any day now, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually out in palatine. Did a nice trail ride (25 miles or so) out of Miles with @Steven D Wheeler the other day. It was a paved bike trail along the North Branch/ Chicago River that goes up to Skokie and is really decent. We had a great time but had to cut it short as we pushed 30 mph a few times and that drains my Tesla quite quickly (Steve rides a 100v Monster). If you know of any scenic trails downtown that is always an option as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrettJ Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm in Madison (don't know any other EUC riders here) and make it to Chicago a couple times a year - I'll definitely be bringing my EUC next time it's warm enough (meaning Spring, not the random days in December when it will be 60 unexpectedly) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/Dev/Null Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 SLVR, where abouts in Chicago are you? I'm in the far north suburbs near the WI border. I've ordered an Inmotion V10 but it hasn't arrived yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRobot Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yo I'm a new msx rider in Chicago, been riding about two months now but already pretty confident. Been exploring different trails around the city. So far in my experience the suburbs are better suited for higher speed riding. Much better road conditions and drivers are a little more predictable. But I'd be down to meet up downtown or around the suburbs. Was riding around lake county last weekend @Robert Hendelman Jr👋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/Dev/Null Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 For those of us who are going to meet up, Metra apparently will let you bring your EUC long as it doesn't block a seat or aisle. This is a huge bonus, IMHO as they do not allow bicycles on @ rush hour. Thank you for writing. You can bring your electric unicycle on the train so long as it does not block aisle or seats.

Matthew Ring Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi, I live in Lincoln Park and recently bought a V8. I am struggling to learn how to ride it. I have about 9 miles on it over 2 weeks of owning it. I'm looking for a practice buddy or a trainer. Will pay for training. Thanks! -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/Dev/Null Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hey @MrRobot, I'm moving quickly towards proficiency. Any plans to come up again to ride in Lake county again? I'm sure @Stadler would love to ride with us as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was riding up and down the street and could even turn around without dismounting. Let me know if you're still having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/Dev/Null Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 @Matthew Ring, how is your training going? @Stadler & I ride up here in lake county. He's helped me a TON, and I'm sure he'd help you as well if you are still having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Ring Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 @/Dev/Null, I'm doing well, actually. I have been learning how to ride my Onewheel Pint and my V8, concurrently and I think the skills are complementary. So far I don't have a favorite device, between the two. @MrRobot, I'm sure you could help me improve -- I can't turn around very well, yet. Thanks for your interest!

Mike Sellmeyer Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Officially have the training wheels off. Rode from downtown to work in oak park (9 miles). Yes going through west chicago isn't the best, but you can meet some crazy people for sure. The conversation is pretty hilarous with how animated some of these guys are. So lesson learned, wanna make friends with gangbangers and drug dealers ride a EUC through west chicago!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
