Peter Seabrook Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I am indeed in Sydney! Where about's do you live? I am in the CBD. I am still currently recovering from a bad fall on my ninebot so I won't be back on for another couple weeks. What are you riding @Kwing? Hope to see you around!

Kwing Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hey Peter, Wow read about your fall! You getting better? I ride a TG but am looking to upgrade to ninebot next year if I am serious. I am planning weekend rides on various spots in Sydney including waterfronts if you are interested and when you are well. Range won't be more than 8-12km cause my TG doesn't go far at all unfortunately .... Would love to hear your experience on the ninebot as well.

Peter Seabrook Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yeah mate, getting better. I work in a bar so recovery is slow at the moment. Ninebot experience has been good. It's really smooth and learning curve was pretty short, I just got a bit too over confident with myself. Definitely know some great waterfront locations around Sydney we can ride in the future.

Phil Howell Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Have you guys had any response to you riding in public from the local cops in Sydney, I'm in Newcastle/Maitland area but so far have just been using mine at the local skate park or in Caravan parks when I'm away in my Motorhome usually for about 1/2 hr at a time. I have a AirWheel Q3 only had it since Oct it was 60th birthday present to myself and I'm loving it. I do get sore feet from riding it though.

Kwing Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hey Phil, No. I am fine so far. I have been riding everywhere near the inner west. Mine you I haven't been down to the cbd area yet. So in NSW it's OK to ride on the sidewalk and share with pedestrians. You are not allowed to ride on the roads.

Mistagear Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi, Have ridden Nth Syd, across the coat hanger, around opera house and around to Balmain a few times. Never had any drama but we wear helmets and are always very aware of pedestrians to not frighten anyone. Some really great scenery around the harbour, always have a great time. We're from Newcastle area but worth the drive down to ride, great harbour and good pathways. Will be up for a group ride np Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan on Airwheel Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi I am in South Sydney Revesby 2212 and find riding my Airwheel lonely business. There is nobody in area using it. Local police is usually looking what is going on, but so far they did not attempt to stop me and ask questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan on Airwheel Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi Kwing. I am riding now for 2 weeks and making sure that I ride each day for at least one hour.

dizimatt Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hey there you guys still looking to recruit more sydney riders? I'm in newtown, but I'm willing to explore further I'm also on twitter - @dizimatt I'd love to know when you're next planning to ride, I'd love to come and join you I am riding a very little-known, euc called a Topjoy Pinwheel. It may be less well-known, but it is proving to be a nice nippy little thing, especially withstood all my bushings in the learning stages Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwing Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey Matt, Welcome! I actually live near Zetland and can definitely meet up (and drag Peter along) for a ride. Can even drive up to Newcastle and meet the guys up there for a ride if they are up for it. Dying to build a community here in Sydney. How far can your Pinwheel go? Where do you normally go? I just did an amazing trip through from Fish Market round glebe cross Anzac Bridge through Darling harbor cross the Harbour Bridge and back home. Unfortunately I have cut myself practicing going backwards real bad with stitches so will be grounded for a couple of weeks. my email is kwing1980@hotmail.com. Let's keep in touch. Sorry I dont have twitter. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bob Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi all I am a newbie to it but Live out Camden(2570) Just signed up here looking for others to ride with, still learning atm, bit slow as I am recovering from a patella dislocation and should not even be walking unaided, but these are so much fun.. Noticed talking about police and I have been pulled over twice. They were more interested in having a go than anything else. They are very onto the 2 wheel self balance boards as their is legislation against them and segways. They basically said that it does not fit under said legislation as it only has one wheel and legislation only talks about 2,3 and 4 wheels. wishing you all a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
