Josiah Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Thanks @Tawpie Yes, I need to jump sooner before I hit the curb may be lower my front flow pads so the section over the toes is lower. Currently I have mine about 3 inches up from the top of my shoe. Also maybe add a little more air to the suspension and the tire. Smashed two fingers on my right hand yesterday, not broken but swollen and sore. I wrecked doing big circles seated. I might add wrist guards to my gear.

I would say they are the most important bit of armour we should have, possibly more so than helmet ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Suspension cushions the impact for the rider. Stress, wear and tear, cumulative damage.....might still be imparted onto the rim and axle though.

Josiah Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Went six miles today back and forth on our dead end street. Taking it easy so the hand can rest. Jason sent me some wrist guards from ewheels. I wonder if they would have better protected the pinky finger or not. The gloves don’t fit over the guards so it’s one or the other till I get a huge pair of gloves. Edited February 22, 2023 by Josiah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What guards is Jason sending? What gloves are being used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Double-sided Flexmeters? They are almost universally recognized as the one piece of safety gear we all* agree on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The wrist guards are made to slide, put them on the outside of your gloves. Hope you heal fast. 🤙🏻🤙🏻 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tawpie Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 Honestly the free ones eWheels includes are my favorites, and when the velcro on them wore out I bought a look-alike set on Amazon (12USD as I recall). I have flexmeters but only wear them when I'm playing in the dirt, and then only in summer. The rest of the year the cheapies (they have great, wide palm sliders and stay on) go over either leather gardening gloves or my ice fishing convertible mittens. So far, so good. Might not have saved the pinky though, they're not really "good" against smashing your hand, more for keeping the road away from your skin! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a quick rip in my backyard on the v11. It's the only one with a snow tire. And yes i almost wiped out in the beginning. https://streamable.com/t3sx7u Edited February 24, 2023 by Punxatawneyjoe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Nice powder by you also! Cool boats and greenhouse too! The wheel powered back up after warming it up in the house. After that I charged it back up. Edited February 24, 2023 by Josiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, unfortunately we haven't had much snow this year. Usually there is a foot or two by this time. Nothing like where you are though, it's amazingly beautiful there. I have to go an hr or so away to see mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Josiah Posted February 24, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Off road in the snow for 2-3 miles in the back yard. Sorry for the bad camera man. Also had some great success pulling my 5 year old with a rope tied to the wheel and a sledding tube! And a little holding the rope also. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5aU1bc9Y13w Edited February 24, 2023 by Josiah 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Side note: my front Clark bumper has no Velcro just the sandwich effect from the screws holding the two pieces around the top front bar. They have popped off once and I was able to pop them back on easily enough. I do like the idea that you could keep them assembled and pop them on and off as a whole. Might consider adding the Velcro that they were shipped with for stability. Edited February 25, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josiah Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Just rode 1 and 1/2 hour around town, some bike lane, then off to the shops, movie theatre, 3 story empty parking garage, lots of store front, passed and went through Google headquarters boulder. Almost stopped for a beer at Whole Foods but skipped to the king supers flowers for the wife instead. Top speed I’m guessing 30 mph. Single mileage 15. Max speed says 58mph but that was a free spin.

Awesome to see how much you are getting acclimated to this big wheel. I have gotten used to it super quick myself, love the way it goes down the road super stable and plush. Thanks for sharing the backyard ride, you definitely have a little more land than i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josiah Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 7 miles 2.5 hrs in the road outside the house. Slow speed glove only maneuvering. Did tight loopty loops spinning and spinning a tight diameter circle, working on balance and remaining motionless through the turns. then did tight figure eights, again working on less arm and body movement. Worked on forward stability while looking backwards right and left. Worked on seated turns and free launch seated. Little to no progress on backwards riding but I did try it and got a few feet two times or so. Practiced moving figure eights where the goal is to continue moving across a plain while doing 8’s over and over again. like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
