meepmeepmayer Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Nice! Can you give more details on how long, how steep, the route, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of police, a few walking sailors (m&f) and a few dozen uniformed guard in camouflage ready to deploy closer to the Navy Yard where I got too close to a guarded gate (who turned me away) while looking for a Harbor path to shoot the Eagle so that I could post a photo of the legendary former German ship. Given the Sail Boston rules(linked above), the requirement to take public transportation, etc. I left the EUC at home and walked the route correctly .... only to post it 'inappropriately' to Meep and at least one another. I suppose I could have posted an image of me at the MRI place on Monday but.....well there is only a couple of inches between your nose and the inside of the MRI tube for 30 minutes.?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long, about 1h30 climb, & 40 min descent, steepness is between 9% & 32% (extreme), the route is 40% road & 60% dirt, I will try an extreme steep climb today (more than 41%) to see how it handles the climb & descent with I think a hell lot of rocks, for now I'm very surprised with the climbing ability ! I measure this by putting my phone on the ground with an app to emasure. @Marty Backe If you want to climb very steep climbs I would highly recommend the older "14" gotway, honestly you won't believe how well they handle rough terrain compared to "16" &"22" ! Plus they are quite cheap now. They are quite uncomfortable however because you really fell the bumps, rocks & other road imperfections.

meepmeepmayer Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 @Pingouin Thanks! @Bob Eisenman 30 minutes (!!!) in an MRI? Why does that take so long? Sounds unpleasant (these things are so loud, as I found out). I guess if the harbor is ridiculously locked down for that festival (not even backpacks, seriously), guess a foot walk can be excused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a KS14C and agree that the small size is great for navigating trails. It's downside is that it overheats too easily on inclines. 41% slope is insane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside of moutain riding is that I fall at least once per ride, I have some special warnings to bring up for moutain EUC riders, I'll create a specific topic for it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, falling happens to me just about every mountain trail ride that I take. People who like to keep the wheels scratch free should never take their wheel trail riding. But I love riding in the mountains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google says the strong magnetic field where Quantum state electrons (of hydrogen) flip 'spin up' to 'spin down' at the resonant applied radio frequency is supplemented by electro magnets while the image matrix is recorded (greyscale strong to weak frequency energy absorbance). I hope that sounds correct. The sound is often a hum like 60 Hz AC frequency. Thank you 1974 P- chem professor! We (students) laughed when the idea of putting a whole person into the NMR field was mentioned in class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that your wheel @Hunka Hunka Burning Love? I don't recall ever seeing what you ride. I must say it looks cool, and pristine.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Thanks! Yep that's my "Precious." I take care of it pretty good. I got me one of the rare $450 Flamebots from Forward California when they were still in business . Rehab1 (he sold his soon after), TJCooper, and I have them. I think these Flame Editions were originally sold in Germany (colours give it away) most likely but made their way over to NA. Others special editions were the carbon fibre one (yourtoys7 in Ontario had one that he sold to RooMiniPro) and the blue Roman with the wheat graphics on the side.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I take mine off-roading sometimes, and I've climbed some pretty steep hills on gravel roads in the park. Nothing as steep as you guys climb though, but close to stall speed on the Ninebot. I used to have a video up, but I removed it. I guess I just don't fall off (except once on slippery ice) so it stays pretty nice. I've got about 987 kms on it so far. With the lights going and the flashy custom graphics, people are pretty dazed when they see me rolling by. Even though I think I probably have one of the only ones in the city, I like that it looks unique. The graphics are sort of a thin film that's melted on, and it chips pretty easily so no stunt crashes for me! I'd love to get a new wheel though like an ACM16, Msuper, KS16S or a GT16 maybe in the future. I'm just waiting for them to iron some of the bugs out.

Dingfelder Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Oh, I bet a lot of Brits would go nuts for that British one. The stars on the American one are too hard to get quick visual recognition of, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) @Hunka Hunka Burning Love That looks really nice! Too bad this is still a slow Ninebot, have you considered KS16S or 18S, should be quite safe. And it is German flag related, I was confused first how that could have been a coincidence.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks! Oddly enough I actually didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. The graphics look like they are painted on as there are brush strokes and white accents. It's actually quite a nice skin that's a little artsy. One guy I rolled past just looked at it and said "Beautiful!" I usually have the green/blue lights spinning around as I ride so I'm sure it's quite eye-catching. It's slow, but it makes up for that in the looks department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingouin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Another fun riding in the moutains, this time my objective was to get on top of this moutain, where there is a castle (see picture below), not easy I had to carry the EUC from time to time.
