You'd have to be able to disable that lean cut-out pretty much completely to make that work. The “GotWay dance” term comes from the old times wheel GotWays didn’t have a tilt-based cutoff. They would be able to ride at a 90• wall. There’s another major problem though: All wheels determine their front-back balance in relation to the horizon. So if you’re riding on a wall of death at a 90• angle and start steering down, that will be interpreted as hard acceleration -> immediate crash. Scanning the surface would be the only way to achieve wall riding. But it has even bigger problems: Instant tilt-back already at the gentlest of inclines, and tilt-forward on declines. Just imagine riding down a curb… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 This is how you ride an EUC! Chasing the one and only Mike Leahy aka @shibby_time. Benton Drones Mar 24, 2023 Finally got a chance to chase Mike when he was in the Bentonville area! There are EUC riders and then there’s Mike Leahy aka @shibby_time . Go give him a follow if you aren’t already to see what these wheel machines can really do! More content with Mike coming soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve been paying money to put my phone number on the Internet for 20 years. And yes I get scam calls each day but I need customers to call me to stay in business. It’s mostly word of mouth or repeat business now. Still, my phone number is listed online and I still pay for the listings. Plus I’m getting excited. Just thinking I might get a phone call from you one day! Or any of the other folks on here that I love chatting with. I remember in 2008 being briefed about hackers hijacking our phones through websites where for $30 a month they could turn on your microphone your camera in your location settings at any time. All they need is your phone number. I wonder if the networks have tighten their security a bit. but as a general rule for military operations you have to leave your phone in another room.

Mobile phone photos can contain gps co-ordinates (latitude/longitude geo tagged) in the meta data. Think the US might have banned mobile phone use on foreign bases, especially in Afghanistan. The US congress seems to be now realizing the insidious nature of Tik Tok too. Maybe we'll all send you an SMS on Xmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to edit it back, go ahead, we will let it stay. While I get the idea of having one’s business number available online, this is not a forum that will get you any business customers. Instead, there is a steady number of scam artists and other spam member accounts, so I don’t think it is useful to be shown here. Each member can reach out to you with a personal message if they want. Again, put the number back if you want. I hope you don’t feel that I was being too hasty or overcontrolling in removing it, just trying to do the best for you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josiah Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Quick six mile. 33mph max speed. Found a guy laying down who fell on the sidewalk riding a Vespa. Hit his head pretty hard. Helped out till the paramedics showed up. He seemed ok. Helmet saved him for sure. Left quite a track of abs on the pavement. Looks like my right shock is leaking air and oil though.

Reminds me of my first Mountainbike with Rock Shock's in the front (no words for that sh*t) After several o-ring and seals, the fork ended up meeting a angle grinder and a waste container. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) I’ll have a closer look this may be the shock that I dented with the motor bolt, its possible I put a hole in the side of it. And it’s also possible that I didn’t seal it up properly when I reinstalled it. Edited March 25, 2023 by Josiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevebee Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 There were a couple of Chinese cases of oil leaks early doors but not sure of details but was mentioned they were the 58lb springs. Speculation that too heavy riders puts more stress on the lighter springs I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
