Alex_from_NZ Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hey Team, Just wanted to drop by and say thank you to everyone for all their help, words of wisdom, arguments that i thoroughly enjoy, tips, tricks, jokes and banter. Every bit of it has been instrumental in my journey from shitty Segway MiniPro to EUC over the last couple of months. To the point i am comfortable enough on my z10 now i feel am able to hang with the group rides in the city! So on that note i just organised one for this afternoon! Pretty excited tbh.. It was a harder learning experience than i expected, no one told me i would break my leg (literally) and then have to learn with a mad limp, but i feel stoked to have pushed through the injury and now be riding like i always wanted. And even more stoked to be told by the doctor last week i dont need a cast, seeing as it hasn't moved any in the last month of use without one anyway. No summer cast for me!!!! Yipeee! Shout out especially all those who have talked to me over the time ive been here, i could list all who i have gleaned valuable knowledge from but i would miss many so i wont. Im off to catch a ferry into the city hen try blow away some Electric Skateboarders (not many EUCs here sadly, think i will be the only one today) Merry Christmas and if your looking for a special Xmas song from this side of the world, may i suggest you look up Kevin Bloody Wilson (ok, hes Australian but still). Enjoy! Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Broken leg? That was the result of your knee thing? Wow! Group rides are another level of amazing. Take pictures of wheels, riders, route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at first they thought broken ACL, then they thought crushed MCL, then i had an MRI and it came back fractured through one of the knuckley knee bits on the lower leg bone, but all the ligaments still there.. And as the bone hasnt moved and i can use it the doc said im good to go.. Wife was sceptical, as i still limp like a gimp but i was quietly chuffed not to have to go through the whole cast and crutches thing. Quote Group rides are another level of amazing. Take pictures of wheels, riders, route I have been filming a lot, but my broom handle selfie stick leaves a bit to be desired so im leaving it at home this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Unicyclist Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 There are a few EUC up in the Auckland area... And then people like me who visit often. We should definitely be able to pull together a group EUC ride at some stage this summer - we had started talking about one on Waiheke Island even.

Keen as a bean! There were only 4 of us this ride, me and 3 skaters. Was good fun but they ran out of steak while i was still at 75% battery.. Ended up dropping them off and going for another run by myself, covered 35km in the end around Auckland City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds about right - other "muti-discipline" groups have a similar challenge - the only thing that appears to be able to match an EUC for speed and range would be some of the larger e-scooters. We really hope to be up that way sometime during summer (provided there is a lull in EUC Bodyguard sales). But it would be worth posting in the "Electric Revolution (NZ) Facebook group as well - there are some local riders who will be a lot more available (in Auckland) than we will be...
