Gotway MCM4 HS 2016 version, add-ons for raining, storage. Any better idea?


Recommended Posts

1. Add-on against raining.

I bought rain-cover-for-backpack to be used for this use. ($5 in S. Korea)

I ride my MCM4 under heavy rain with holding an umbrella, MCM4's top covered by this rain cover.

Some students chortled at seeing my riding... Laughing out loud 

2. Add-on for storage

I also added storage on top of MCM4 which was purchased at Daiso. ($2)

Hanging all weights of my belongings on my shoulders gets a lot pain and then

I started put more burden on MCM4, not on me, adding the storage pouch around the handle.

And I attached a short leash in place of the original handle as the handle was all covered by the pouch.

3. For security.

I hang the security chain and lock on my EUC as seen in the picture.

I use it in case of fly fishing.

 

This is what I am doing with my EUC, how about yours, friends?  Any better idea?

I added a small voltage meter and the same trolley to my cheap TG F3. The little meter allow me to know exactly the power level. I also have a bike pouch which holds my charger, but I rarely attach it to the EUC.

Nice voltage mod!  With the digital meter, how is that connected to the battery?  Is it just connected up in parallel?

Thanks! Here is the picture for the wiring. It's not hard. I just tested each cable in the switch and found the right one. Cutting open the plastic case is much harder. I used a soldering iron with cutting tip. The plastic melt like butter, but still it takes me a couple of hour to finally fit the mini-meter in.

The meter will be on only after the switch is on. The unused ground was originally an empty socket. I got the plug and wire from an old fan and it fits the socket perfectly.

@Belly laughing nice setup!  Have you thought about a rack or board 2 or 3 feet long to put on top of the wheel?  Then you could carry even more.

Thanks friends...

@steve454 thanks!   My original thought was putting 2 rows of long pouches on top of my wheel, which would wrap around the upper part of the wheel.

However, for I could not find the similar pouch yet, the current one is an incomplete work.

And  my other thought I rather considered was putting trolley bag behind the wheel bound by a flexible connector.

I really hate wearing a heavy backpack...

Interesting idea, would be pulling a small trailer.  Should be no problem for the wheel I think.

Only a matter of time until they start putting gyros into battery powered luggage like large suitcases for efffortless rolling, and/ or wirelessly connected to the phone to follow you around....oops, did i just let out a billion dollar business idea?

And I today upgraded the Add-On carrying luggage as the below which places a dedicated backpack on top of my EUC.

The backpack which I purchased for this use only is as narrow as the width of the device, and I like it the most by now.:D:D:D:D:D

@Belly laughing Cool! I like the backpack idea. Maybe there is something with hard shell so it could be used to hold extra battery or work as a seat.

Thanks.   I recently improved the cosmetic appearance the way backpack seated on the EUC with bike straps.

What if I could find EUC backpack.  It couldn't be better...   phew...
