I don't use the kingsong app because it drains the battery very quick and it starts by itself, means when I don't notice my phone is dead. I started with 8/9 LED and came in with 2/9. I just got the "Your device is low battery, please charge it" warning 200 m infront of my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a friend here, and looked me up since I'm pretty close to Cambridge, and from my posts on this thread it's clear I ride there. We had a great time. Talked, fed swans and ducks, drank beer, wheeled, drank coffee and tea wheeled some more. @meepmeepmayer is the only person I have ever wheeled with (only one EUC between us, but I guess it counts) and therefore by definition, the only person from this forum too. PHOTO REMOVED Meep in the back.

We didn't know what each other looked like either, so Meep jokingly suggested we should have pass phrases like James Bond. he suggested "That sure is interesting waterfowl over there" and the nonsensical response? "The moon is red at midnight" . So despite me showing up on the only wheel in town, I made him stick to it. I wouldn't talk to him until he uttered the secret phrase, of course then I had to remember the reply..

I bet your down wind rides were "interesting" leaning back and still getting speed warning beeps, not that you would have heard them.

MBIKER_SURFER Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Of course - I mean beaufort. 3 days ago I did a ride with gusting up to 9 bft. Incredible - you tare leaning to the front - but your EUC nearly don't move. WIth back wind - it's fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like a sail boat, constantly adjusting to the changing wind direction and strength. It was a lot of fun. Going down wind was most interesting; standing bolt upright and still doing 30kph and yes braking was interesting after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
