Bruce I know there are some of you out there, but there's a ton of great EUC content on Facebook. It's great for coordinating rides, etc. What some people do is create a Facebook account that isn't tied to YOU and then you can access all the information and participate in the community. Telegram is also becoming a major tool for coordinating all things EUC. FYI. Edited February 28, 2020 by Marty Backe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Vo Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Stillhart. One of our riders in Vegas euc has a Nikola 84v for sale. It's got less than 800 miles on it and still has Ewheel warranty on it. It also has the fast charger for $1450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is cool and welcoming and we all love to share our wheels. I might be intrest in the ninebot too if it's not too expensive. We like to train new riders too so it's good to have a nice beater wheel for newbies to learn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Facebook, I intend to leave this earth without ever joining. A Meetup group would be great. I'm going to try the bicycle trail at the Wetlands Park tomorrow afternoon.

Han Vo Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 You guys can just join face book and just install and use the messenger app. This is is how we set up meet ups. https://m.facebook.com/groups/450801938809051?group_view_referrer=profile_browser And honesty you guys should watch @Marty Backe videos on the matter of your first wheel because you will want to buy the most powerfull wheel you can afford. You will out grow slower ones very fast and your going to lose more money upgrading your wheels. We do alot of long group rides and smaller battery capacity wheels wont be able to make some of the rides 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do alot of long group rides and smaller battery capacity wheels wont be able to make some of the rides Thanks for that link. Without going too far off topic of this thread, I am familiar with the theory that you want to just buy the good one first. I've been in enough hobbies where I've started small and ended up spending more working my way up (e.g. photography, headphones, etc). So I totally get and appreciate that advice. In this case though, I'm genuinely not sure if the hobby is something I'll be into or not and I'm just not willing to jump in with both feet (pun intended) quite yet. If I decide it's not for me, I'd lose a lot of money selling a $2k wheel at used prices, quite probably more than I would trying to resell a $750 wheel. On top of that, if I do decide the hobby is for me, I plan on keeping the starter wheel to share with my kids and wife so it won't be money wasted.

Just be aware that a starter wheel may feel woefully under-powered which might taint your experience. So just keep that in mind as you explore this new experience 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just keep that in mind as you explore this new experience Fair point. I'm leaning toward the Mten3 for multiple reasons, but one of them is that it has the performance specs on paper of a much more expensive wheel. I've watched comparison videos with the KS14D and it seems to beat it out on performance. (Other reasons include that it's apparently very easy to learn on, it's very small so my younger kids should have an easier time with it, and it should be easy to sell if I decide it's not for me.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an absolutely perfect wheel to learn on. It's my opinion that the Mten3 is the best and most affordable entry into the world of EUCs. And, a huge plus is that it's the funnest wheel to own. I recommend that everyone own one for that reason. So if you do fall down the EUC rabbit hole, you won't feel the need to sell it. Keep an eye on my channel. Within the week I'll be publishing a video on the new 67-volt version which sells for ~$600. I'll be receiving it in a couple of days, but I'm hopeful it retains the same basic qualities of the much more expensive 84-volt version.

Han Vo Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I second the fact that the mten is the most fun wheel. If you get that one your definatly not going to resale it when you upgrade. It's in a class all if it's own. If you do decide to join Facebook just to use the messenger app then just search my name and I'll link you to the Las Vegas group chat, it's where we usually communicate for group meets. The ability to group video chat helps too when we are coordinating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice if instead of a Messenger group chat, you used something else like Telegram so we don't have to give Facebook all our personal information just to organize a ride. I tried making a throwaway account yesterday and they literally wanted me to upload a picture of my face before they'd activate the account.

I have 4 wheels, and the Mten3 is definitely the most fun, and it is very versatile. It works the best for indoor demos, where there is not much space. It is the only one of my wheels that I can go backwards on and idle on; its responsiveness makes it easier. But, it is not as fun on rides over 5 miles - my 16X is best for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Vo Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I agree. I think the 16x is the best all around wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillhart Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well, I picked up Bruce's old E+ and it's been a lot of fun but I'm already ready for something bigger. I'm hitting the speed limit on this thing pretty effortlessly. If anyone has a line on a used wheel locally, keep me in mind. I don't have access to the FB group so hopefully people who browse both will see this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I search for it, I get GoDaddy domains for concrete companies. When I spell out the whole address my browser can't find it at all. I am very new here and I am learning about euc's by reading the forum and watching youtube videos. Thank you for any guidance you can give me.
