Olav Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Going slightly off topic, but how is the development of bodyguards for other wheels coming along? Would like to have one for my Tesla, if at all possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following that, if everything is looking good we have a source for the "mannequin" (for the design work) and from there we will see what happens!

Unventor Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 36 minutes ago, US69 said: I really love this covers :-) Not only do they look nice there is a safety issue too. Right now we are having very windy condition here in Sweden /Gothenburg. I went on a small ride 10-12 m/s windy but much higher wind gusts. Pretty scary to ride in those gusts as they were pretty hard. But my mc pants seems to be glued to the cover making grapping the wheel with legs so much easier. Norally I have a bit wider stand on my large pedels, it feels much more stable if I need to stable the wheel by squeezing it. Most of the time I totally relaxed in my ankles letting the wheel self correct itself by the centalfugal force. The combo of KS18L/XL and large pedels and eucbodyguard is an awesome total ride expireance. As it also covers some of the shell openings where sheel parts meets it helps preventing water to enter but water is an odd thing. It gets into places you don't expect. But so far I am 110% 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new thing with LED light rings on the inside of the wheel is challenging though! Rest assured we are sourcing some 16X to investigate the potential (and to ride, of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be able to use a thick transparent plastic like from windows on camping tents. But it might be a challenge to mend the two fabrics together.

Don't you worry, I'm going to look into getting that one Some of my trips are close to the max range I get on my Tesla, so getting 50% more range is very tempting! Or I could loose some weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronko Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just ordered one! A few of my friends are quite into mountain bike trail riding. I've been wanting to try and tag along with my EUC but don't want to scratch it up... now I can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to think about? In my case, it'll be to hide the current damage, prevent further damage, and prevent damage to the new shell when I eventually replace it (not in a hurry, only aesthetic damage) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a happy customer! You mentioned that you haven't really tested the extent of how much protection the EUC Bodyguard provides - And I don't blame you, after all no one wants to intentionally drop their EUC. Having said that, we did need to ensure that they worked "as advertised" so a part of our development process included exactly that. Warning: Viewer discretion is advised. Sensitive riders should look away now... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Well my wheel took a fair hit on my last crash. You can read more about the crash om the thread I created Crash histprt of Unvemtor. The EUC bodyguard too a few marks as you can see below. But I think it saved my wheel pretty nicely. Note: Sorry I didn't undust the wheel first. But the picture are from waiting room while my shoulder had not been x-rayed yet. And before I got any medication for the pain. I had a little hard time holding the phonecover away from camera view of field. Edited August 31, 2019 by Unventor 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mod / personalisation that we are now offering is a crocheted rider G-string! Just don't ask for sample photos, as you just might get them!!! BTW - for those "more serious" customers, they are made from a purple nylon wool (so may be a little scratchy)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 On the serious not about the KS16X EUC guard. Do you think it would be possible to be integrated with the side panels as for fasten it ? Since you commented on side panels covering screws for opening the case. My wheel is coming on Monday at work (9-10am Swedish summer time) so this is first time I will see a KS16X irl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have a few ideas about how we might make an EUC Bodyguard (similar to some ideas we have for the Z10) and I am also engaging with some local specialists to see what we might be able to do about those side pads too... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
