Guest PogArt Artur Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 1/ first time commute on Rotti (Z10) 2/ first time riding in the rain EVER (yeah I was a virgin till today!?) 3/ first time on 27PSI (I were practicing on 25PSI) 4/ first time tried the water repellent spray (applied on my pants) 5/ first time Rotti is locked up in his cage at work place 6/ first time I did dare riding on the road (breaching virginity ) 7/ first time going faster than 12mph (breaching virginity ) THOUGHTS ; *1 -> I have Z10 second week now,but because of continuous rainy weeks I did manage 3 short rides around estate only. The main thing I have EUC for, is commuting. So even it's rain today, I fed up with waiting, so I did dare go to work today It just flies literally, no speed restrictions, no nothing. I don't know how fast I did go, but it was leisure ride not racing at all, but definitely it was faster than on E+, lol *2 -> Belief or not, E+ I've had since last March, and it was also rain when I bought it,for two weeks I guess !? So I wasn't learning outside,but on the kitchen floor instead I'm going through the same scenario, what a coincidence!? It's second week since I got Z10 , lol Anyway I went to ride today in the rain, not very prepared with the cloths, though ... *3 -> I received it been inflated at 27PSI, I felt it's too hard, so I shortly tested 23PSI, and left it at 25PSI afterwards, with temptation to go up... So I did, I think I'm ok to stick to 27PSI *4 -> Some of you may had read my post already,regarding the water repellent spray. It was kind of idea, to use that spray to rain proof my cloths, letting me start commute in the rainy conditions, without spending £££ for proper rain gear... I've received that spray yesterday, I laid three thin coats all around the pants then, following description on the can. It says 24h to let it dry well, before it'll give a full waterproof protection. Well, it was about 10h in my case, as I went commuting 4:30am this morning It does work!!! I didn't expect that, but my underwear pants were dry!, compared to my jacket, that wasn't treated by the spray, and did soak through... ... You know if you spray a water over your house plants, the water droplets are remaining on the leaves... This is what I saw on my pants this morning, the rain droplets were all around the pants, like in the leaves, not getting into the fabric *5 -> The cage isn't fully finished yet, I'm still waiting to improve some bits around, but it is first time when I left Rotti locked in his cage at the locker room *6 -> Z10 has not 12mph speed limitation, so going on the road was convenient, at safe speed for a newbie like me *7 -> As I mentioned above ...

The centre of Saltaire is obviously too busy with traffic, shops & pedestrians, it would not be enjoyable at all to go around it, in group of three..? I agree with @stephen, the safer is to meet in the park, out of traffic for sure. Edited June 15, 2019 by PogArt Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaaaa , great example Because of the fact,that I'm living in UK's rainy weather conditions, I'm planning to upgrade to "OneWheel" instead... I could ride it as standard EUC, but also in advance, I could use it as the kayak when streets are filled up by water Edited June 15, 2019 by PogArt Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
