By new iteration I mean more closly assembled to production look and spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you can swing two 16X units, one on the East coast and one in the West Coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the last two go-arounds (Z10 & KS18XL) I had to wait a couple of months as they wound their way across the country. Now you get a chance to learn patience Plus, when New York gets them your weather will be perfect. I like how you causally spend other peoples money (Jason's in this case) 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on KS. Didn't hurt to ask. I think I'll get my production order before the pre-production rolls around. Not sure why you had to wait a couple of months, it isn't because of NY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I'm pretty sure Jason's is purchasing these units. The Nikola for sure is just one of the 30-units he bought. I don't think the Chinese are much into free promotions. The wheels kicked around NYC for awhile. Add shipping time to Florida. Duf runs them through their paces. Add shipping time to Colorado. Chooch puts them through their paces. Add shipping time to California. It's many weeks. It's certainly fair for everyone to not be rushed in testing the wheels that Jason has been so gracious to provide. So I'm patient. I'm very happy that this time they get to move West to East. I'm just giving you a hard time Eddie Edited April 30, 2019 by Marty Backe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an I. I have my 1st kid coming in Nov (due date is actually my birthday oddly) so with that extra cost coming I think I'm going to be a one car family for a while. The extra range on the 16x will help me a lot......at least that is what I'm convincing myself and the mrs.

I know I haven't purchased 20k of wheels like some LA super stars... but as I guy living in Austin Texas, and a heavier rider (representing all us big fellas out there), I'm perfectly positioned between the West coast and East Coast for a stop over... and I would be happy to assemble 20 EUC enthusiasts (Including our own local rockstar Michael Vu) to get some initial impressions, ride it and record thoughts on it...

That's exciting news! Please note that I'll be entertaining visitors at my bedside at Kaiser Permanente, San Mateo, California in the August/September timeframe (depending on the date my order gets fulfilled). Donations of titanium for surgical inserts will be greatly appreciated. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Paolini Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 @Unventor I use motor cycle jeans with D3o Knees and hips, motor cycle boots, and a Motor Cycle jacks with the back, shoulder, elbows myself (and D30 wrist guards). The only place we aren't aligning is the helmet, I use a Down Hill MIPS which I feel provides better hearing than the Motor Cycle helmets. I'm the one in Grey - and it's like 40 degrees so I'm bundled up. No idea how the other guys are not freezing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst news ever for French users. You have to take an insurance now for everywheel you own, and you cant take an insurance for any wheel going above 45kmh. Not even talking about the new law coming in autumn banning all vehicules going over 25kmh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
