Everytime I post a video or picture where I'm not wearing a helmet or other paraphernalia, I get called out yes of course in a forum where that is being discussed its perfectly cool, i appreciate opinions and different peoples point of view its no issue at all.. but if youre for example posting a video on your own private channel and someone barks out in the comments to "gear up dummy" or something to that effect then they simply look like a nosy jackass 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First generation problems should now have been dealt with, and oh my, it's such a good wheel. I'm myself now completing a first round of of KS, Inmotion and Gotway, and who knows what the future might bring.. 😉 variety is the spice of life ^_^b every manufacturer brings something unique to the table 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenleetech Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 How do you guys feel about locking up Nikola at a bike rack for quick grocery shopping session? I feel pretty weird bringing it inside and wheeling it around tbh. Seems like locking it thru handle would be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't feel comfortable with it out of my sight, and the only time I've locked it up was with my wife's scooter outside a restaurant with us watching them. . It trolleys so well that I usually carry a hand basket and have no issues. If you need more than a hand basket you should probably bring a car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenleetech Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 i feel safe enough locking it outside with a good lock, assuming best technique would be thru handle. If I bring it inside, the females would swarm me and I wouldn't be able to get my shopping done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably feel strange locking up the wheel i feel weird if i go into a store without a wheel now lmao, kind of like forgetting your wallet its just so normal for me now.. but to answer the question yes through the handle is as secure as it can get.. cant do it on a ninebot one, and wouldnt do it on a kingsong.. but any gotway or inmotion wheel you would literally need to take a sledge hammer and smash it apart to get it off the handle lmao Edited July 20, 2019 by Rywokast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty weird bringing it inside and wheeling it around tbh. I frequently ride my 18XL (previously MSuper V2 and IPS 191 Lhotz) for grocery shopping. I always take the EUC with me into the store, but instead of trolleying it in the store, I place it in the shopping cart. https://youtu.be/gBE2GC4UZWk?t=1001 Edited July 21, 2019 by MaxLinux 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'll like doing it with my 50-pound 16x after that arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBIKER_SURFER Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 On heavier EUC's it's not that comfortable for shopping. With my ex V5F it was a 'pleasure'. But V10 F or bigger should go in the shopping cart. You can't shop too much - you have to carry it in your backpack! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ben Kim Posted July 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2019 One of the reasons I gave up on scooters (alongside numerous other reasons, I owned a Dualtron) and went into EUCs is because I can bring it in almost anywhere. I've even taken it inside a movie theater! With that said, quick grocery runs are always done on the EUC, errands around town also EUC, riding into Manhattan, also EUC. The only time I actually use my car is if I have to haul large amounts of stuff or I have to transport my son around. When he gets a little older, I will consider putting him on a safe, small wheel fully bubble wrapped! I don't exactly have a small wheel either (KS18S) and it's never been a problem anywhere in NYC. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably not going to like that, and you'll likely get a call from the police or family services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
