bpong Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 im not an avid fan of euc racing. i think its abit dull to watch, but i also think it must be a BLAST to actually get a chance to ride the hell out of your euc on a paved track !!! one day i wouldn't mind doing a few spirited laps around a go kart track ... while i was watching (youtube) an euc racing event that was happening in Spain, i noticed quite a few euc racers were taking turns in a similar fashion like motorcycle racers - they were bracing themselves using one arm and hand near or on the pavement while taking a turn. modern motorcycle racing whether on road or dirt track, involves riders hanging off the side of the motorcycle on a paved curve, and in dirt track, riders sliding around the dirt track curve using 1 leg to support their body. the main difference between motorcycle and euc racing is not the double versus single wheel - the motorcycle has brakes and a clutch so the rider can exert alot of fine control over the vehicle, while the euc's braking and speed control is all done using the position of the riders body. could the study of on road and dirt track motorcycle racing provide useful and helpful reference to euc racers ? i always wondered whether or not if an euc had more grab handles mounted on its body, could that provide the euc racer the xtra ability to further develop more efficient ways of cornering around a race track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2i5tbwsMas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4B9Sp1T78Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtzP5b4z4tc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are limited to how rigidly you can hold the wheel while shifting your body weight off to one side. I had a few ideas for some pads that would help with cornering by allowing you to use your inside leg as well as your outside to brace the wheel around corners. I have used this method to control the very heavy v13 around corners at high speed. Tire traction is second but EUC racers aren't even close to bracing it enough to loose traction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
