My rough numbers, utilitarian and leisure trips, no commuting. (since February 2019 > November 2020) Ninebot S2 / E+: 1000Km KS16S: 3000Km KS18XL: 7500Km Sherman: 1500Km (rain, confinement ) A typical trip, 80Km. Going farther with the Sherman now. Nice to be able to explore the countryside. This brought back memories. I used to work in Paris and lived in Choisy le Roi. Way back in 2000 before EUC's were even a thing. I would love to still be able to step out my door and get to the center of Paris on my Sherman. But I think the french speed rules would kill me. I love bombing around Atlanta doing 45. Good times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent rim? and 1,700 miles in a little over a month is insane!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 28 miles of riding, one of the phase wires cooked as I was slowing down to a stop. There was a pop and smoke and that's all she wrote. Sending the unit back to get overhauled, so will be a while... Yeah the 1700 mark crept up on me. But I was dropping regular 30-60 mile rides each night so I guess it added up quickly. This was my first real EUC and man the honeymoon was great while it lasted. Edited November 23, 2020 by Violinfun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a whole lot of EUCs in Paris and not many of them are restricted to 25km/h. The cops have a lot more important things to do than hassle with us, as long as you don't behave like an idiot you can ride with the cars at their speed. (like a moped basically) Its pretty nice to ride around if you can take the latin+ traffic. Many bike lanes also, from Choisi you now have mostly continuous bike lanes on both sides of the Seine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniGrad Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 4 months riding, 3500km (2200 miles) I've replaced my car for 99% of my trips so I ride a lot. Plus I've been getting quite good at making excuses to go riding. KS16x (2200km) Sherman (1300km) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually arrived with lots of issues and it's been on it's last legs since brand new. My 16x now has around 1500km and it's also not working. Currently I'm EUCless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
