Robse Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 I've got the crazy idea that it could be fun to compare and see how fast people actually ride on their wheels - not top speed, but instead what their average speed has been, all the time on the same wheel. So: check your wheel, EUC world, Wheel log or similar: Total distance for your wheel, and what is the total running time. Divided and > = average speed. - is there anyone who is still speed demons here? My wheel: 16X Distance 2541 KM Time 146 Hours AV: 17,4 kph Beat it Quote
DhuXn Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I have an MCM5 EUC and I use the Darkness bot program, but alas, I can't see the average ride time there. There is an average speed for one ride - 43.5 km/h for 12 km. Especially went out on the track to set a record))) And so what I noticed, most of my trips ended with an average speed of 26-27 km/h.

Funky Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) 18XL. Distance 453km. (I don't ride much..) Running time 77hrs (Messing around in my room doesn't help here.) I got 5.88kph.. LOL Doh in EUCWorld i got: ~23kph as the "average" speed. Top speed: 40kph, when i get my set alerts. And if you follow with mouse on map, it shows 30-35kph normally. (2kph difference from gps and euc.) Edited July 22, 2022 by Funky Quote

The Brahan Seer Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 You may want to check if the total running time includes the charging time too. Quote

The total running time on (my) 16X only counts up when the wheel is "on" / ready to ride. But 77 hours running and only 453 km for @Funky that sounds like the charging time is counting on his 18XL ?

But 77 hours running and only 453 km for @Funky that sounds like the charging time is counting on his 18XL ? I doubt that's included charging time. Because when i charge my wheel, it takes ~8hrs to charge. (It will charge 5-6 hrs till charger turns "green" and keep charging/balancing cells till wattage drops to 2.5W) Then wheel beeps 6 times - it means it's done balancing. Normally it's extra 1-2hrs after charger has turn green. I normally charge when wheel is at 45-50% battery. And i can get ~45km from those 50% battery. Time to time i power it up to do "pendulum". And simply messing around. Also learning riding backwards.. - No speed there. I may have not ridden "a lot", but have learned most skills already. Then again i don't know how it counts the time. I may be wrong.. I checked it from KingSong app.. Also at some point i started to use EUCWorld, to monitor the battery while charging. Maybe it has to do something.. Next charging time i will check hrs. Quote
mike_bike_kite Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Not sure what this really proves - perhaps that some folk have access to longer and less busy paths? Someone living next to the LA "river" system might be easily able to maintain 30mph while someone on city roads might have to stop every 200 yards. I don't think I ever get over 14mph as an average speed but I think the average speed of cars in London is 7mph. As a group, do we really want to be promoting speed? wouldn't a better competition be one based on Wh/km? Quote
