Yellowman Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, I see many of you have multiple wheels in their bio pictures (below the posts). How do you manage so much wheels? You need storage + charge them once in a month to keep the battery okay, etc. Are they wheels you had and sold? Please tell me your management strategies for having more than 2 wheels.

Just do not charge them to 100% and store them for months. Keep them at 70% and they'll stay good for a very long time. I had wheels not being used for > 6 months and the battery didn't even drop 1%. (Not the Z10 ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans and other mammals (omnivores and carnivores) are thrill seekers by nature. The adrenaline of the thrill (also known as fun) is pleasant. So euc riders are no different than motorcycle riders, and white water rafters, and snowboarders, and whatever, you name it. A dog catching a frisbee!

Yellowman Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 That’s a nice basic explanation. You can say it has been a long time I experienced something that gives me thrill. Now I see why fully geared up cyclists spend their whole Sundays riding their bicycles. Cause it is fun for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
