esaj Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what age groups are the most common among riders (or at least those frequenting these forums). The votes are anonymous, so you can vote even if you don't want people to know your age.

Kroy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think I'd give my wheel back if it meant I could join the range 20-29 again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villac Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Is this when one of us geezers says you're only as old as you feel? (knees, back, shoulders, eyes, prostate...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranium Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 This topic should be pinned so it stays at the top so new users to the community can see it an vote. This is good information. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good information. I thought about that earlier, but then again, I don't want to go pinning too many topics at a time on the first page of the general discussion, as they take up space and then there are less "normal" topics visible... I think many people don't venture further than the first page, so other relevant (unpinned) topics could get buried easier. While "funny" statistics, I don't think this is that important that it should be pinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmrw Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm in better shape than in my 20s. Still not sure if that's saying much...I feel pretty good about being able to ride something that my 25 year old stepson can't ride lol! Of course he would learn quickly, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TremF Posted June 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'm 41. I used to be very active - cycling and/or walking 100+ miles per week. about 3-4 years ago I started having problems with my spine that first stopped me cycling and eventually stopped me walking due to pain and weakness. I had an op on my spine last year which has stopped tingling I was getting in my hands and feet and helped with my fine motor skills - previously my touch typing skills changed dramatically and I was dropping things - but unfortunately I still have a lot of pain if I walk or stand for too long. After becoming quite depressed at my limitations I decided to research what I could use to get about because I don't drive and was fed up of getting the bus for work and not being able to go out and enjoy the weather and scenery. I came across EUC's and 9 months later I have switched from the Ninebot One E+ to a Gotway ACM and the new level of freedom I have with the extra mileage (and speed hehe) is fantastic. EUC's have given me back my freedom. I commute to and from work, pop to the shops and go for rides along the canal and around the nearby lake or reservoir either alone or with my girls on the bikes. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingouin Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi, I'm in the 20-29, but I already have so health issues that make me unable to do physical efforts (even riding a bycicle for more than a few km), that's why I first got my hands on electric bycicles, and then I thought back on these strange wheels I saw riding on the streets, and I thought it could become a solution for some trips (for example when I can't leave my expensive bycicle outside for too long), and it's fun too. I though of segways at first, but they are too expensive, and the ninebot pro etc don't have sufficient range for my needs. I think all I need is 1 EUC, 1 electric bycicle and my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took up yoga and meditation 6 years ago and this wheel is my freedom and joy. My 20,s were stressfull. I have money now to spend a couple thousand on wheels and not care. My 20,s Not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Fat Unicyclist Posted June 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think that there are two reasons for the 40-49 spike - well two reasons for me at least (@ age 45)... The are a bit more discretionary funds available (particularly once the kids have grown and gone). We grew up during the 70's and 80's, and remember the promises for the future... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Eucist Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Observation: Ever since the poll was pinned and featured yesterday the median age has dropped from something like 47 to something like 43. The "median age" is just my guesstimate based on looking at the chart. The 20s, 30s, and 40s have grown around equally while the 50s and 60s+ have not grown as fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Eucist Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 This is what it looked like several hours AFTER I pinned and featured the topic. So it was already getting "younger". But now it's much younger with the 30s bracket surpassing the 50's bracket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) i am 47 .... body: felling like 50 plus.... in my mind: 25.... max ;-) the younger guys always asked me nearly directly! about the price for the Euc....and getting a little bit shocked when hearing 1000 euro plus... The older ones...my age...are more interested in functionality, range, charging time, howto steer and as they all seam to know that a good electric bike is much more than 1500-2000 euro ....the price question is one of the last....and the reaction more like a "not so bad..." but: they all think that they are not Able to learn it.... when i explain that the learning time for doing the first hundred meters succesfully is just around 30 minutes to max 5 hours...their eyes always get a great question mark...like i want to make jokes..... if it would be more known that everyone can learn EUC...i think much more of the "little" older generation would do this.... its just more affordable for them...for the younger ones its often just "another toy"...and their parents are not willing to buy some more hoverboardly toys;-) my thoughts.....

Jurgen Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 @John Eucist So if I understand you analysis correctly, what I'm feeling is actually happening, riding the wheel makes me younger? The EUC is a time machine!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelie Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 lol I'm part of the 20-29 minority. I see these EUCs as the closest thing to the future of having a vehicle in your pocket literally like in Sci-Fi movies. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
