Marty Backe Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I expect to have my new MSuper V3 this Friday, so I'm going to break it in on some of the mountain roads of Griffith Park this Sunday morning, at 9am. Any wheel with the range of a Ninebot can make one leg of the trip at least. If anyone wants to join me leave a message here and I'll be sure to wait for you, and provide further directions if necessary. If nothing else you can get a closer look at the MSuper.

Marty Backe Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Cool. Looks like three of us. I told @enigma35 to meet us in the parking lot just north of the Greek Theater, ready to ride by ~9am. He's bringing a KS16 and/or V8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nice picture, and thanks for posting it. As a group we rode 22 miles, and then I went back up myself and ended the day with about 33 miles and 30% (loaded) battery remaining. BTW, in the picture, from left to right is me (Marty), Darren, and Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. 34 miles on the mountain today with some sustained 22+ mph riding. We rode to the water tank, and I really like how it handled on that steep dirt path. And the pedals are amazingly comfortable. I can't overstate that. 3 hours of riding and my feet never felt uncomfortable. Can't say that about the ACM and certainly not about the KS14C.

Much more fun riding with someone now that my grandson can accompany me on his wheel? Hang in their buddy! I have a feeling more EUCs will be showing up in your part of Florida soon!

Cal Unicycle Meetup Member He doesn't. He just discovered EUCs, read about our meetup, and came out to see us so he could learn more. He's trying to decide what wheel to buy, etc. Cool to see someone at the early stages of excitement. Eventually he'll be joining us. I'm optimistic that there will be a time that we may some 10+ riders hitting the trails. That would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could set him up with Questor's H2 if he still has it for sale.Those are good beginner wheels.As for myself,I did my EUC rider duty by picking up John Eucist's KS-16 and helping him make room in his apartment here in Shenzhen while allowing me to be able to continue to ride on opposite sides of the planet.

Marty Backe Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Very cool. Try and get some pictures of yourself or others riding some wheels. Look forward to hearing your tales of Gotway and Kingsong. Good idea regards the wheel. If @Questor still has the H2 for sale, maybe @Roll Model would be interested in it as a trainer.

Questor Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 My H2 is still for sale. With the NineBot One E+ and a Gotway Msuper on order I won't need the 14" any more. It's a good wheel with correct lean back feature. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
