Sherman for a heavy rider in hilly / mountainous area?

The Sherman sounds pretty good. If your father (cool!) didn't complain about the Monster torque, he isn't going to complain about the Sherman torque.

Though I'd get over the Gotway-exclusion and also consider an RS HT or HS. Lighter and more easy to maneuver, but also very powerful. It's the Sherman if the Sherman is just too heavy. Just tell him it's a Begode, not a Gotway;)

The Sherman is good for distance  road riding and easy trails.Its a heavy stable  cruiser (if u get one that has a tyre that fits properly).Its not one for tricks,jumps or riding over logs.Good road cruiser but theres more to riding Eucs than on the road!

My Sherman copes perfectly well with forest trails and hills. I’m 110kg. I ride the Surrey Hills every day. The last frame in my Instagram post shows it going up a hill that is about as steep as a staircase. The ride I did here wasn’t particularly challenging, there are many other locations I ride which are and the Sherman has never let me down. I will post again soon showing it in steeper, more technical single track terrain which it is also good at. 

I occasionally have to dig some mud out from inside the wheel case. 

I think comments around it being a street wheel, maybe you all live in places that are far more extreme?  For me, I have steep hills, clay and sand mud, rocks... no problems here.

Enable current warnings in EUC World and use bluetooth speakers. This should help to avoid burned up boards from over load....

 

This is a must. I use some aftershokz bone conduction headphones so I can still hear the world around me.
