But this addiction hit me like a wave and I needed more much faster than I had anticipated. I didnt think id become this passionate about anything else in my life. Especially not at this point either, but here we are. It was like 7 minutes ago I was watching videos of everyone learning and hoping that eventually I'd be able to finally ride - feeling kinda hopeless. And now this. Seriously. Im placing my wallet into a vault and not spending anymore money on EUC's for a while. Until my urge to try the 16x takes over, lolll 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise how subjective this is, just wondering where you lean Thanks! Just about impossible to answer, but... If I was going to sell my 16S, then I'd buy the 16X for sure. If I was going to keep the 16S, I'd buy the XL. Edited March 31, 2019 by Marty Backe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Nguyen Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I like 16in wheel much better to maneuver. 18XL would be great for long trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my first powered paraglider shipped to a friends house too. I had to get the timing just right before I could tell "she who must be obeyed". She made me get life insurance, complete with a medical check up, before I got airborne. EDIT Sadly for her, she was not able to claim on that policy Edited April 1, 2019 by Smoother 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Planemo Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2019 PPG! Nice! always fancied some of that. Cheapest way to get flying! I was clearing out some stuff from my shed earlier - getting some old R/C bits ready to sell. Skint times. Mrs said 'you don't need to sell that if you don't want to, don't be silly'. I mentioned that I needed some money to keep my car going. She suggested it was OK to take it out of the house account and I shouldn't sell my stuff just to keep essentials going. I said I needed other bits and pieces and I don't like using the house account for anything other than family stuff, dropping in that it would be nice to get another wheel so I could go riding with the kids. The Mrs didn't say anything, so another wheel might be on the way soon haha. Just need to sell other stuff first! As always, it will be delivered to work so that I can get the timing right @Smoother 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mrs didn't say anything, Speaking of timing, I think you dropped that clanger a smidge too early. She now knows the money wont be spent on the car. I would have waited for her to suggest another wheel for the kids, prompted by some extremely subtle hits from you and not so subtle hints from the kids. That silence you witnessed was her biting her tongue in case she said something she would regret later. But rest assured, you will hear some version of what was in here mind, sooner or later. Good luck with rounding up some funds. I bet there's a whole lot more stuff you could sell; check your wife's closets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Olav Posted April 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2019 My XL arrived today! Took it out for a spin, and I think the original KS-footplates are better than the original GW-footplates on my Tesla! The XL-plates also arrived today, from Speedyfeet, and goes on tomorrow. Planning to take it out on a range test on Thursday if weather being as claimed (16°C and just a little bit of wind = summer! Almost...) Happy times! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably pick it up on tuesday in the day. On the upside tho, my brother is taking my 16s, so now i have someone to ride with and can use the 16 whenever I want, haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some stats first: Riding weight: North of 224 lbs/16 st/ 101.6 kg (not saying how far north... ) Avg. speed: 20.6 kph Ride time: almost 3.5 hours Body: Aching and tired, and wanting me to never do that again My reply to said body: Sc**w you! Ride length: 71.16 km (44.2 miles) Battery remaining: 39% at standstill (31% a few minutes before getting home, at 15-20 kph) Ought to be able to get 80 km (49.7 miles) out of it, which happens to be a little bit more than the distanse home to my parents! Still happy times! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seage Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just double checking because I don't want a repeat of my 16s handle breaking twice, with the second time dropping the wheel on my foot that then fractured. Do we have any reports of the 18xl handle breaking? That wheels a bit heavier so I'd expect a full broken foot this time. Just a bit paranoid, lol. My wheel arrives tomorrow. I wish it was here today as I'm going on a 46km group ride in a few hours. Damn. Haha. Perfect way to break it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I put about 1200 miles on my 16s dropped it many times but the handle never had a problem. The handle seemed really robust. 16s seemed very robust in general. To me the handle on the 18l is probably close to the same strenght as the 16 but the wheel is heavier and the handle has multiple positions and can be set higher than the 16s so it moves around more. In my opinion kingsong has the best trolley handle design out there. Well they have the best euc design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I also just placed an order for an 18XL. I’m upgrading from V10F mainly because I NEED a bigger battery for longer rides. Now there is the 2-3 weeks of painful waiting... I mostly like to ride on technical trails so I’m really a bit more excited about the 16X. I think it might suit me better. But it takes too long and I’d rather not buy from the first batch this time. And it’s good to have an 18 incher also. It is possible that I will buy the 16X also and then see if I want to keep both. How are you guys liking the 18XL on trails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
