leadfeathers Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Had the opportunity to briefly experience the MCM5 (s/o to @chrisjunlee who let me borrow his and ride it around the block) and I have to say, I think it has convinced me that my next wheel will be a Gotway. Major points: 1.) Holy shit, this thing is agile. My turning radius was like 12". 2.) It's like riding along a fence, the tire is super thin. This is something I actually had trouble with, as I'm taller than your average human being. But after grasping it tightly with my legs I could force it to stabilize until I got enough gyroscopic accelerating to let it do it's own thing. 3.) It climbs hills like a beast. I could max speed straight up steep gradients, no problem. Which is surprising, given that it's a 1500 W motor. 4.) I usually like bigger vehicles in general because of my size but I could easily see this being a best friend of someone who frequently navigates hilly cities. 5.) You can literally wreck the thing and it still runs like a dream. @chrisjunlee had the misfortune of getting it back from someone else who borrowed it and it looked like it had stormed Normandy. Didn't seem to affect it in the least. Build quality getting better with Gotway maybe? 5/5 would split my legs over a fenceline again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
