Are euc's exceptionally vulnerable or dangerous?

@VanturionThere's no reason EUCs couldn't use field weakening. Some of the people who built onewheels with vescs have posted videos showing a top speed increase.

That's interesting, I kind of qualified my question that way as I don't fully understand how field weakening works so I was hoping to avoid haha. I get the concept, but I don't understand the implementation/transition point in which it starts to work and how it changes a motor's torque vs speed performance curves without it. Anyway, getting even more off topic, but cool to see some people are successfully using it on self-balancing EVs.

about "are EUCS exceptionally vulnerable or dangerous..."

it may be about how you ride your euc,...  you can have 1 rider riding very very conservatively, and will never ever experience a bad fall or bad accident (unless the euc rider is hit by something else other than another fellow rider...) you can have another rider, who throws commonsense to the wind,  and basically decides to ride the euc as hard as they can to see what the machine can do (there are already postings on that and the eventual cutoff, etc,...)

i have given thought to perhaps the manufacturer may also be part of this topic.  but when it comes to the manufacturer, i would expect that the most important issue with any euc brand is quality control and addressing the needs of the riders of their products.

it still comes down to the rider.  you can have a very careful and slow rider riding a big, powerful, and fast euc like the master or V13, etc,....  and they will not experience any major problems or accidents caused by their riding.  you can have a completely irresponsible and obnoxious rider who just wants to take it to the max all the time.  and they may be good enough to avoid accidents and hurting others.  or they may become the most accident prone and dangerous rider on the street.

not including the fire risk with the battery technology in all eucs,  i say that EUCs are only as dangerous as how the rider rides their machine.

All braking action is using regen alone.

I don't think so

I thought is was obvious from monitoring voltage and amps on braking action, have you ever noticed something different?

Yes, I have, though it's many years ago, namely voltage sags under hard braking, IIRC.

If braking would only be regen, we should have seen regular reports of either braking failures, that is, reverse overleans, or destroyed batteries from braking, in particular on wheels with smallish batteries. Yet, I haven't really seen any such reports.

Another thing people seem to not notice: we always have ABS enabled. Even better ABS than any other number of wheels.

I have seen wheels spinning backwards while braking (and forwards while accelerating) on several occasions. Most EUCs don't mitigate wheel speed with ground speed, AFAIK. That is, no ABS.
