905brett Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Took my IPS 122+ out for a rip in a small snowstorm to see how she handles! Short vid but got some decent speed in the snow and haven't bailed yet lol..
905brett Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 I can't believe how well it handles in the snow! I can't even slip when I try haha!
Cloud Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I tried riding in the snow for the first time today. It was about 3 inches. It felt a bit slippery but managed to stay on the wheel. Id imagine the problem would be non visible ice under the snow rather than snow itself. Going at constant speed should be more or less of but acceleration or braking would be dangerous. i kinda liked it because it felk like i was skiing:)
905brett Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah if you just keep it under 15km/hr in the snow and constant speed it handles well. I took it out today for a nice 10km ride on an icy escarpment trail and it was really fun! I agree it kinda feels like skiing! I'm just not too happy with my battery life can't get more than 12km on a full charge on fairly flat ground like today it was only -1°C and bairly reached 10km. I had to ride below 15km/hr near 30% charge or it would drop below 10% real fast. I'm looking at returning it and trying to get an IPS 151 or 152 with double the battery life but it looks like those are hard to find right now..
myfunwheel Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Wow, that seems like so much fun, man, I wish I had snow to ride in. I just recently saw snow for the very first time in my life..........and WOW!! what a blast, we're going back soon!!
