Raptor Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Russian forum I found a video tested 50 kmh and up acceleration for falling : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donafello Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 you can see he really pushed it right before he fell. hes already going prob close to top speed and he leans all his weight into it. Im glad he's ok and I'm also glad there are people brave enough to test limits for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Spalding Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Please take care of yourself folks around here know I've been worried there will be less posting during the winter months for our northern hemisphere members, but I like everybody to be in perfect shape for the spring thaw. Thanks for posting the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donafello Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Another thing I realized is I think his unit is the 84v so i guess this would confirm anything over 50km is unsafe. I thought I saw somewhere on the forum where somebody said it can handle 60plus km/hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlymex Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I am unable to see the video, appreciate if anyone can upload a photo of one frame of the video just about the off balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbera Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Well if his speed isn't safe, at least he's not doing it on a public motorway. Oh wait he actually is ! Lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 He is clever , he use motorcycle protection and the wet muddy surface lets you slide on the asphalt , i'm used to motorcycle gears and would not be afraid to fell at the same situation , i'm more worried about all the risctakers here that go in full speed in tanga flipflop and swimwear t shirt , I think it's very simple answer to all this , all euc are still to weak to handle speeds more than 30 kmh because you need that extra power in case of panic braking , pottholes , hard acceleration and steep up or downhill , still waiting for my 5000w motor with 4000wh battery and 12 or more mosfet circuit board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 It was, after all, prepared for the test ! specifically for this falling test were arranged . Therefore, all protective equipment. Was also tested what would be the best form of protection. As it turned out, the cover should be longer elbows and knees. As seen in the video, can also be downright ride of 60 kmh ( see a car speedometer ). But the abrupt acceleration for over 50 kmh wheel shuts down ! Thus, the test in this video ,answers for the various questions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sheer luck that he doesn't slide under traffic when he falls, or that his 25 Kg 60 kph missile doesn't fly off and cause a traffic accident of its own.

Flash Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I have done it myself , it's easy going fast when you have fun, people are not used to vehicles suddenly turning off at max speed , this will happen many more times all over the world and the blame is not speed it is to weak eucs , who knows if its even is possible to brake hard at 30 kmh , maybe not , its crazy but nobody complains because its so fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also sent a number of protective cars. Feedlot road users more or less consider such options . There are also very accustomed to a slippery, icy road ! For cars, was the introduction of winter tires only ten years ago ! I agree that it was not the most appropriate place but manufacturer, unfortunately, do not do causes of such tests !

volavoile Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 At 47 km/h, air drag take the whole avaiable power.... You cannot be safe at this speed!!! Impossible to reach 57 km/h (except backwind). You need 3000W to reach 59 km/h. When will constructors limit the maximum speed of their wheels? DO they wait for dead people????

Initially, in generation 1, most wheels did limit speed, and we all hated it What we are seeing now is a pushback against all those initial limits and beeping kicking in at 8 kph. Now we are seeing how far the other way we can go. I'm quite enjoying higher speed riding when it's safe to do it, but it's hard to make the case for why anyone other than race riders needs to go at 60 kph on a wheel. But isn't that just humans doing what humans will and pushing the boundaries ? I wouldn't care that much if mine was limited to 25, but I do enjoy that it's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO they wait for dead people???? I vote for freedom to be able to buy these wheels. They wouldn't make them if there weren't people who wanted to buy them (like me). I have no desire to buy a wheel that limits its speed to what someone deems a safe limit. And those wheels already exist for people who want to be totally safe.
