Not every exciting time on an EUC is about high speed. Sometimes the wind was so strong it slowed me to a crawl from 15kmh. But you're right, it's no place for a beginner; it will knock one on his ass in a heart beat Lol I had parked the bus for a minute, I left the cab to walk a bit through the interior before I go, then suddenly, the blast of the wind did cause the bus to move like the ship on the ocean , from left to right and back again... I stood still ... lol You're brave man If you lucky you could even fly on your wheel today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take the beating with no problems. 3550miles on the clock. Still going strong. Just that its very tatty now. Do they still sell them in the UK? I know speedyfeet was the only company that sells them Yeah This is were I got mine from I'm concerned a bit with the mileage, I have recently found out on the app... It's pointing a bit over 3km on that wheel been done? Is it false reading? Is it common ? The E+ is brand new, I've done this morning some kitchen riding, and just now the second practice on the kitchen floor, but obviously it shouldn't be more than... a 100 meters Do you know why my app is showing 3km?

I got to stay home for the training, cause strong wind in UK won't be handy,regarding balancing on one wheel by newbie Do you have something like a shopping centre parking garage close by? I'm doing my learning sessions in one, after about 8 pm it's virtually empty. It's dry, wind free, spectator free and it has lots of pillars that help when I need to get started again. Heck, I can even charge my car while training :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will think about it, though! Thanks for suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mileage readings on the wheels are hardly trustworthy, but off by a factor of 30 sounds implausible My best guess is that it was tested at the factory and/or by the reseller and the mileage wasn't reset.

Cheers esaj... Have a look on CURRENT riding mileage, it's 0.4km, to me it's equal 400 meters... Impossible to do that much on my poor tries on the kitchen, lol !? If in 10 min I do 400meters on kit hen floor, then I'm not surprised the TOTAL is 3700 meters hagahaaa So I did my first steps this morning and now, trying to not get killed on the kitchen floor ... And all together I rode is nearly 4 km? Lol! Impressive score for beginner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so curious regarding the mileage, so I've written to ask Ian from speedyfeet, what's that silly reading... You were right esaj, the wheels are tested on manufacturing process,I guess the cars as well before they go to the dealer garages? Ian advised, that they come with 1.7ml (testing) score... Now I'm sure I'm not getting crazy, hahahaaa , and I know,that my kitchen floor isn't in kilimetres, but metres lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife yesterday have looked at me, and she said; don't even dare to come near by me in the public! I'll deny I know you! Hahahaaa !!! That's good thing if your relatives encouraging and supporting you, isn't it? Hahaaaaa well you need to dress up to ride ...not dress down.... To me it looks like she is encouraging you...nothing trigger determanation as when a wife said you can't do something (it is not a matter of right or wrong anylonget). At this point only one thing remains prove her wrong and take any bruises as a man We have all been at you point at some point. feel free to have a few laugh off me training in the early days.

I can only suggest try to record your training, and review it as it helps to process improvement. And traning in small sessions of 10-20min then take a long break or start again next day Around session 7-8 I felt fairly confident, but once you get out in the open and pick up a little speed it becomes so much easier. Just as riding a bicycle at 1kmh is close to impossible but at 10kmh it kinda helps self balancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
