Jurgen Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have an IPS Lhotz 340KwH, the tiltback is quite managable, is the tiltback on a Ninebot much more aggressive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shaw Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 sorry to hear of your learning experience I know you will be back riding soon... ...I had a wee dog chase after me this afternoon so I just kept increasing my speed until the dog gave up... a swift glance at the owner.. mouth wide open and speechless as I sped off up the pathway... priceless..... not a sudden acel but steady plates level increase....

Agreeing with @Paulandjacquelyn it was a surprise more than anything just not used to the weird floating feeling it gives I guess. Even going down hill and you are level not leaning does feel weird too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyred Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's been a month since you last posted here so you've probably recovered, right? Sorry to hear about the fall, though. Had the same experience today, not as bad, but still came as quite a suprise. Like you did at the time, I've had the NBO for a week now and had a first big fail today. Some scrape wounds are all I have, the cushion (leg support) ripped a bit though, that's worse (in my eyes)... Scrapes will heal and the cushion I can replace when I've improved my skills!

It was either tilt back or overleaning / overaccelerating that can cause the floaty feeling you experienced. falling can be painful and very embarrasing. On helloween i fell off the wheel in a Batman costume riding at walking speed right in front of the kids. Batman falling was a little embarassing....

Peter Seabrook Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 @Tyred Just about recovered still very tender. I have had no time to ride as well as work at the end of the year has been 70 hour weeks. I'll hopefully have some time after Christmas when work dies down some to get some riding time in and re-learn everything. I'm worried I am not going to have the confidence to ride out in public again though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it slow and ride at the parks and gradually increase your speed as time and your confidence progresses. 28 minutes ago, Cloud said: Sorry about the fall.

AlanR Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 All good advice given here. Its when you are feeling comfortable and drop your guard that accidents can happen. I was riding alongside my daughter [on a bike] and 'playing' with my grandson in the baby-bike seat when I casually glanced at the bollards coming up and just clipped one. The EUC stopped and I continued on losing altitude rapidly until the wrist guards gouged the pavement. Wrists were pretty good but one shoulder [3 days now] doesn't want the arm to be raised laterally - painful! Improving daily but its frustratingly slow! Moral for me, keep focused, especially as speed increases; because force increases by the speed squared! [f=kv2]. The wrist, knee etc guards are absolute essentials.
