Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I was right! Chuck Norris, Charlton Heston, and Clint Eastwood all rolled into one with a little bit of Hugh Hefner for good measure. Nice female acquaintances too I might add. I'm sure you'll get the hang of riding an EUC pretty quickly. It's sort of like balancing on a plank that has a cylinder attached right in the middle underneath. You lean forwards with your pelvis / at the ankles slightly to get going. Above stall speed it gets easier to balance just like on a bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) You've got some stunning scenery over there in Deutschland. My Ninebot with the custom graphics would fit in perfectly over there. Not that I would be able to make it past the 7-Eleven 16 km up the hill though...

I just learned that 7-Eleven started in Dallas, Texas in 1927. And just remembered that I missed 7-11 day and my free Slurpee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically this is in Austria But the border is along the mountain you have to imagine to the left, which we circled, so we had about 50% Austria, 50% Germany. Both sides were nice German side had cooler names though: we went through a long ravine with a nice creek, but it's called Elendgraben (trench of hardship) and later changes the name to Totengraben (trench of the dead). Any guesses whether this used to be a fun place in the past? -- 4 more pictures. I didn't take too many, @Tilmann has the better phone so he must have them all Steep road, cows right at it, lying and dozing in the afternoon sun, kids playing with them, one little girl sitting on a cow! Also the kids checking out our EUCs. A bit further up, where I scouted for some future tour options. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The considered Austrians anticipated your pain and built plenty of cable cars all the way up to the most scenic mountain tops. Depending on the route, your ninebot may arrive in the valley with more ions, than it started with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) took a ride around the ranch to see if anybody died and got my package. probably not what environmentalists like, but what i've seen online, seems like some of the wheel manufacturers could take a lesson from dji on marketing and pakaging, not that it makes the product better. other photos from the top of my tallest hill which is my drone/helipad. i'm really proud of my grass. it must really like all this rain and sun. the last photo is either an early eclipse or my thumb.

May all the Up's and Down's in your life be between the sheets in the Austrian alps! (Photo courtesy of @meepmeepmayer) Jepp, that's where we came from... Some roadside cave exploration. ...heading back... ...with some final Kodak-Moments for wheels and riders: (you guessed it by now: photo by @meepmeepmayer) EDIT: Here's a short unedited clip to round up the report: Edited August 15, 2017 by Tilmann 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great photos, beautiful place to ride. In the second and third photos, when you stopped for food, I think I saw about 4 electric bicycles. Are they for rent there, or did people ride them up the mountain? Were all the photos taken with a phone camera, they look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice landscape, I bet the cows are loving that grass also. In the last picture, to the right is a large stand of trees, are those pine trees? The reason I ask is I lived near Jacksonville for a few years and drove past a huge pine tree farm a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilmann Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thank you @steve454! You can rent eBikes (and regular mountain bikes) in many places in the area, but I'm not sure whether this particular spot offered rentals. However, they had electrical outlets prepared specifically for charging and even a huge "Bicycle First Aide Box" next to it for emergency repairs. All photos come from smartphones (xiaomi mi5 and Nexus 5), but I brushed'em up and scaled them down in photoshop a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 @steve454no those are cypress trees in a little swamp. i've got pines, they don't get as big as up north in jax i don't think. got oaks, hickory, bald cypress(those are good ones) some orange, lemon, grapefruit and magnolias. i'd like to plant some banana trees. i like bananas but don't like leaving the ranch. too stoned to deal with humans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
