I like how Google Earth flies you down from outer space into the Earths atmosphere and takes you on a flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pingouin Posted July 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, The monster is now my EUC of choice when I'm going to fly my little drone outside the city Edited July 12, 2017 by Pingouin 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 What kind of bag is that attached to the wheel? Has the Monster become your go-to wheel of choice when you're undecided/don't need anything specific? I've noticed Ian (Speedyfeet) seems to use the Monster as default when his videos aren't about another wheel. So wondering if that's a general thing...

Pingouin Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 @meepmeepmayer It's a double 1l bag, it's just there to carry essential tools to repair the Monster on the go if it comes to it. It is a "hobby" EUC, which means for most unplanned rides, or long distances, I'll take it. I actually ride it more than my other EUC's, mainly because I travel long distances and that it's comfortable compared to my "16" & "14". I also use it quite often to get lunch (holidays) quickly, it is my fastest EUC and in the city it beats cars eyes closed ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bob Eisenman Posted July 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2017 I was returning from a night ride (10 mile loop) to 'Lighthouse Point' (picture of Lighthouse from Fort Sewall below). On the long causeway an hour or so before midnight two 'girls' ran toward me from the beach while I used the motor lane. One of the two , with a deep gravely voice, said 'can I see your bike' ? I said 'hey' as I rolled past a few feet away. A few blocks farther a female passenger leaned out of a moving car window to shout 'I hope your going to...?.....(couldn't hear out of range). Returning late one night with a backpack full of groceries on the Swampscott (hometown of the state's governor) rail trail a couple of yard parties were in full swing. The larger of the two parties was fully lit while my LEDs did circular patterns on the Ninebot passing along on the trail a few feet away........a few laughs that seemed to be directed at my ride were heard above the parties background noise level. Other than high summer humidity fogging up my glasses in the swampy Wyman Woods part of the 'rail trail' the night ride excursion (visibility was about 5 feet for a stretch) was smooth goinh and punctuated every now and then with a multitude of small rabbits which tend to move left to right to left and again in front of me before deciding where to jump into the tall grass. They seem to use the flashlight beam to get a fix on their situational awareness before scurrying into the weeds. Today, a great day to ride weather wise, I rode from my apartment to the coast, along Lynn and Revere beaches (slighlty smelly at the land side of Lynn Nahant Beach at low tide with drying red tide in the sand in certain algae pooling areas ) before arriving at the subway stop to Boston. My Ninebot had 6.4 miles left but the ride all the way to Airport Station (Logan) was not interesting to think about in speed limited mode. Here at the Boston Public library, where I arrived at 1 pm my Ninebot recharges back to its 17 mile capacity. For 90 minutes of charging I get rejuvinated for another 10-17 miles of riding before becoming a pedestrian again with a 30 pound object to lug around. I think I'll ride back to the Revere Beach subway area, catch a bus (if the driver allows it) and go back to my apartment. Gotway ACM riders could make the round trip (almost?) of about 42 miles without using subway or bus. Yesterday ,while on an EUC ride, I stopped at a Dunkin Donuts downtown as a half dozen bikers (big heavy bikes) filled the lot. Literally no one paid any attention to it as I rolled into the lot and parked it (app lock in) next to a wall and went inside for some iced coffee . The roadster car with its roof down caught a lot of attention as it's engine roared to life. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a selfie stick on the ride back, captured an average quality video of the ocean part of the ride and ventured out again at night to try to capture the LED display of my Ninebot. Shooting video without enough light is pointless, even for capturing the LEDs, so I grabbed one of the good frames from a well lit parking lot.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
