Chrisxr2 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Does anyone else have other toys for transportation outside their eucs,?? I get quite a few odd looks on my travels as weather permitting, if not out and about on my euc I am normally on my trikke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jag_Rip Posted September 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Hmm... lets see:- Toy: check- Transportation: check- odd looks: check- weather permitting: checkIts a 1983 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.5 TI QV, they sold almost one milliion of these, but bad metal choice and lots of problems during production made them rust away very fast. I therefore drive mine only when its not raining during summertime. Nowadays only a couple hundred are still alive worldwide. So they are more exclusive than most Ferraris and as reliable Edited September 30, 2015 by Jag_Rip 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I owned a early-1980's Fiat and like my EUC I learned to do a lot on it--body work, electrical, carb rebuilds, you name it! As for the body, aluminum foil would have been thicker and at least it wouldn't have rusted. Damn those Italian cars are incredibly fun to drive though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolesnce Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have the same trikke as well. Gives a way better workout, but not as fun as a EUC unless you are going downhill..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisxr2 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 That is vey nice, car wise i have a classic mini cooper S, a metro turbo powered classic mini, (Not quite as prone to rust as the alfas but still bad enough) and a MK 1 Focus rs as my daily toy, but is getting very little use at the minute as the weather is nice so the euc and trikke are getting used instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I got more cars as well (all Alfas), but they either arent registered to drive or are in restoration. It actually was the second reason for me to get a EUC to commute to work, the first being that they removed my eligibility to have a parking lot at the office, since I am living in the same city. So now I dont have a daily car anymore, I am wondering how well this is going to work out during wintertime, since I wont use the Sud.

Feel free to take a look & share with othershttp://peacemakerfoundation.com/2015/07/06/transportables-portable-transport-tools/ For two wheel self-balancing foot scooters only then see: http://peacemakerfoundation.com/2015/07/25/self-balancing-dual-motor-electric-foot-scooters/ Have fun, help the environment, & please please ride safelyLucPeacemakerfoundation.com. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) There are several versions of the scrooser, I wouldn't mind at all over a 'legal' electric mope, the one I really like is called the beast, knobby wheels and suspension... And no need of kickstand, with wide wheel base. Can they take on winter? At least twice the cost of the most expensive eu, but onlyonly 15-30 km range, with supplied battery...http://www.daymak.com/beast/Egroov, on kickstarter now... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/237076843/egroov-first-all-road-all-wheel-drive-electric-sco?

Aaron Corsi Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think the BOXX scooter is really cool and practical: https://www.boxxcorp.com My partner and I are trying to slowly shift all of our transportation away from gas so this scooter and my EUC are the first steps toward that. In the next 2-3 years we will be replacing the car with an electric as well. About two months before buying my Ninebot One I bought a loaded out version of this scooter to use as my main mode of transportation around the city. They are built to order however so I won't actually get it until June of next year, the Ninebot is filling the gap for short range transportation in the meantime.

Andy_T Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I would love to have an electric scooter or motorbike (always love being in Shanghai, as 95 % of the motorbikes there are electric now), however, with 50 kph top speed, I would fear for my life on the streets and motorbike paths of Kuala Lumpur where I currently live. (And the fast ones are so far still out of my price range) So I have to keep my gas-guzzling KTM Duke 200 (yes, that is 200 cc displacement for a total of 27 hp, definitely the lower end of fossile fuel madness and getting 70-110 mpg - depending on my driving stile) Once I return to Germany, I will hopefully be able to come by with public transport and an electric vehicle (unicycle or scooter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_T Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Road legal in Europe with CE registration (moped license plate) and up to 45 kph... Can be folded for transport, however weight including batteries and seat (which can be removed) is about 40 kg http://uberscoot.com/models/1000W%2048V.html I am really considering to get something like that when I get back to Germany...

MetricUSA Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 OK, this I don't consider transport, but I bought the halfbike 2, kind of a joke, most unstable bike next to unicycle, too high center of gravity, maybe good for unicycle but not this. Thank God, I bought the 3 speed version, I have lots of hills, and it was easier starting in lowest gear, but also way too easy to spin tire. Where's the best place to put weight? Center to front... You have to push start just like regular bike. The handle bar not realy used for stearing, but to hold on for dear life, and to 'try' to keep straight, it sways with the back wheels, the back wheels are on springs like a skateboard. So you more incline to do carving, probably also helps forward momentum. More workout but at least you can coast... They tried to make this version, foldable, will see about that if I ever take the bus with it... WWW.halfbike.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trucktent Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I got my wheel to take on a plane. Makes a great airport and beyond mobility device. I have only had the unicycle a week and I love it. The plane a few years. Any other pilots on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
