TonyGrayCanada Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Are you guys still around? I'm out and about in my V10f in Victoria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGrayCanada Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Sounds like there is some attention being paid to legality of personal transportation in BC: "The cities of Kelowna and Victoria have both written to the province calling for the rules to be either updated or better enforced to avoid confusion among municipalities. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps said more transportation options should be supported at the provincial level. “The province, like the city, wants to encourage people to use all kinds of modes to move around and quite frankly to get people out of cars,” she said."

Msubasic Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Looking for local expertise / community. Just ordered V8f from smart wheel. Really want to know how long it will take to arrive. Though don't expect to get that answer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGrayCanada Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I also got mine from smartwheel. It took quite a while, three+ weeks I think. You can email them and they'll give you a pretty good estimate. Also happy to get together for a ride or some practice when you're ready. Also, @rywokast is a very experienced rider and is in Victoria, though we haven't met yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msubasic Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks Tony! It actually arrived a little over a week from ordering it. Now I'm 4 days in and done over 30 km. It's hard and scary at times. But I love the challenge and seeing progress happening is addictive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I signed up for the site I had my sights set on a v10, then the v10f, but after some more research I figured the Tesla was a better bet. I like the look of the inmotion wheels, and they've got good reviews for comfort etc, but they seem over-managed. Not a fan of the idea of speed throttling as the battery gets lower. Also I saw this video where the v10f keeps overloading on a hill climb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWJ-VSaj_Vs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyGrayCanada Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 All the criticisms of the V10f are true, but I'm still happy with mine as my first wheel. The speed limiter drove me nuts at first, beep beep beep all the time. When I finally set it to max, it turned out that I just wanted to go 37k the whole time. No more beeping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more beeping. no doubt its a fantastic and very good looking/well built wheel.. its just not for those who are seeking to push the limits... it is an exponentially better starter wheel than any of us who have been around for more than two years had xD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msubasic Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm up for some group activities with my v8. I'm being pretty cautious, have the speed dialled back to 15 km/h. But finding its not making things safer because the machine is pushing back at the most awkward times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msubasic Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I've been riding a week. 70 km done so far. I'm 54 and most of my family peers think I'm nuts for getting it. So I told them I am keeping it at a very safe speed to start. But I will dial things up for a group ride if we do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same age same situation. Something I like to do is go to an empty parking lot for skills practice. Stop 'n gos, figure eights, slow riding and so on. Camosun interurban was goods on weekends during the summer for that. I still suck at forward/backward transitions and riding backward in general. Anyway, don't feel like you have to push it, it took me a while to get confident enough to commute, and I'm still a total newbie compared to @rywokast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywokast Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 was that one of you I saw on the galloping goose today? I would've stopped but I have plans tonight so I was tight for time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msubasic Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I was on a bench on the goose when someone blew buy heading east like they were the road runner. Might have even said "meep meep." That was around 6 pm. I'm guessing that was a ks 18 you were on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
