SlowMo Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I was still drunk this morning when the door bell rang. I didn't even look at the person at the door and thought it was the drinking water salesman and I just said "still full". But then I heard him asking my name. I said "Oh, sorry!" and went back to my room to get my pants. Santa just sent me my gift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 @SlowMo you are my new hero . I want to be you. Well, to be perfectly honest, i just want to own all your wheels!!! congrats!!! Tell us how you like it!! Reviews galore!! Hey, is this a high speed version? I cant wait to hear your opinion of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Thanks man! I bought the HS version but you know me, I like it slow and would never be able to reach such speeds although I might be able to do a lift speed test. I did a lift test with my IPS Zero and it reached 40km/h.It also left a burn mark on my carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 High speed, awesome! I would expect no less from you bring on with the lift test!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 @SlowMo I'm completely unfamiliar with the entire Gotway line. Would you mind fully stating what it is that you "Got" there so that I might fully appreciate it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbouju Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think the MCM4 "High Speed" version is over all the (first?) MCM4 "Achieved" version, with the right pedals angle and the right gap between the tire and the plastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. I just embrace the fall. I never saw that stick by the way. There were some Irish guys in the park playing the Irish game of Hurling. I had never seen such a thing and so was trying to get them on camera. In other words, I was distracted - a very fine way to initiate a fall.

It seems they have implemented some minor enhancements from the original design so you could think of it as a version 2. I tried doing tight turns these evening and did not manage to hit the pedals on the ground. The acceleration is effortless and the pedals are comfortable. Due to the width of the unit the shins are always in contact with the sides which might not please some riders. Also the lights are nowhere near the likes of Ninebot One and IPS Zero. I got the white but carbon black would have been a better color choice. 2 minutes ago, dpong said: Not me. I just embrace the fall. I never saw that stick by the way.

dpong Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I was able to find the @csmyers barrel roll video, and I admire his form. This is what I try to accomplish, as I'm past my mid fifties and I think I lack the reaction time necessary for most run-offs. I agree that falling properly can mitigate a good deal of harm, and consider myself a competent faller, on account of all that practice. [Seriously though, I took Judo at a dojo when I was a young boy. The first thing they teach you and the only thing I remember is how to fall.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and it also doesn't show the wattage but there's the HS sign so I think it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for the spare parts to bring it back to life but until then, my family will just enjoy riding our other EUC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloMo, have you tried riding it? I will never believe that you havent yet! How is it? Share the results of your max distance test. Max speed would be nice too but knwing you this is too much to ask for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
