Popular Post Jason McNeil Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 (edited) Event Time Range: February 24, 2024 to May 31st, 2024 This challenge is to test the limits of the distance that can be covered in 16hrs. See how far one can ride within a time constraint. Duration of 16hrs, instead of 24hrs, to reduce the risks of sleep deprivation, grogginess, and minimize potential accidents. Wheel modifications are allowed. However, during the riding sections - you must not have external help such as towing, drafting, use of a vehicle/device other than the EUC that you're riding. No limits on terrain, environment, or location, open to the entire World. FOR YOUR SAFETY USE COMMON SENSE. Please do everything in a safe manner and must wear full safety gear including, but not limited to Helmet, Armoured Jacket, Gloves, etc. Requirements: EUC World Trip Logging No External Help (eg. Towing, Drafting, Giving Rides, etc) No Changing Batteries No Changing Wheels Video and Photo of Riding and Charging Spots Screenshots Before/After every leg and charging stop Must be willing to do Interview with eWheels Race Team Wheel Modifications allowed Prize: either 1) Free Master V3 (North America only), 2) Cash Prize of $1000, for anyone Submissions can be completed here: https://forms.gle/8gZhCUFzueLJzJ2m6 This challenge is taken on AT YOUR OWN RISK!

UniVehje Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I like this. May 31. is just doable even here in north. Batteries will have less range in cold, but in May I can find days above +10C. Also, highest riding speed won’t necessarily win as efficiency plays a big role. Fast charging is important also. I really hope @Seba can provide EUC World screenshots for us iOs users in May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) The point is...to attract attention to EUCs? I mean, the 16 hours range seems not only kinda unimportant, but it could also easily be computed from consumption vs speed graphs combined with the charging speed.

Robse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This is a really interesting challenge!... Linear programming; Consumption versus speed versus capacity versus time to recharge to xx% in regard of charge effect versus charge% There is a razor sharp and delicate line between raw speed performance, consumption, battery capacity and time to recharge. It wouldn't surprise me if, in theory, this challenge could be won by one of the smaller and old wheels, e.g. KS 18XL, but it will be exciting to see the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDeamon Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Man, I wish I had a faster charging wheel. I did a 643km/400 miles weekend road trip, last year. 300 GPS kms (187 GPS miles) the first day, 343 GPS kms (213 GPS miles) the second day. 1500wh charging the Sherman S was fine the first day, but wasn't fun in the second part of the second day 🙄. First day was awesome, started at 6h18 in the morning, perfect weather if a little nippy in the morning, great view from the St Lawrence River all the way. Studid me wanted to challenge itself, so I rode it standing. Calves were made of concrete at the end of the day. Second day started a bit past 8AM? Not sure. It had everything. Rain, wind, more rain, forced to leave trail due to mud to go on backroads with truckers passing me by close, was nearly home in the middle of the night, to face a closed bridge that forced me to do a detour and suffer through more fine rain 😂. Came home at 1h15 in the morning 😴. Ive been thinking of doing Montréal to New York this summer (not sure if it's gonna be a round trip 1400km plus riding around New York? YIKES) , but damn, 1500wh charging would be miserable, ugh 😅! For anyone interested to watch. https://www.relive.cc/view/vYvEKWmZpG6 Matt from Montreal.

Funky Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Fastest rider will win. Also fast charging wheel will help. Or ride like a turtle - so you don't need to charge that often? Nah.. Going top speed and charging is the way to go. Edited February 24 by Funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Just now, Funky said: Fastest rider will win. Also fast charging wheel will help. It's not that easy; fastet rider will use more energy pr. distance than slower rider. And in addition spend more time charging, so..?

Mono Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) The obvious though is: the bigger batteries will win, in particular as any battery can be pretty much fully charged within an hour (remember, mods are allowed).

Robse Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I actually think a worthy candidate is a Begode Monster Pro. But it depends on how fast it can be charged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Everybody talking about battery size and theoretical possibilities. Maybe there will be someone achieving crazy miles. But for most participants (who do this for fun) it will be a matter of soles and/or ass. Whether you ride fast or slow, 16 hours on the wheel (minus fast charging breaks) is a serious physical challenge. It’s much more a matter of bodily abilities than wheel specs (provided a moder big wheel). Bigger battery gives some initial benefits but in the end some Wh difference is not that much divided for 16 hour ride. Fast charging and efficiency are keys in addition to good seat, good shoes and physical perseverance.
