iEatRice Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'm so surprised how more EUC riders in Philly than I thought. I've been riding EUC since 2014 and until today I only saw 2 people riding it lol. I'm trying to convince people around me join the EUC world. Don't wanna be the solo rider. I'll certainly join the next group meet if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarpMudd Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 There are about a dozen riders from Philly and suburbs, but not all of them visit the forums regularly so it’s hard to pull everyone together to ride. You have to ping everyone consistently through any means possible to make it happen. @jas3 any word on pulling together the Philly chapter of the Glydiators? I think it would help if everyone was pulled into a telegram group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lylesgold Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'm in Newtown Bucks county, a bit north of Philly. Have a V8 and K16x, and would really like to find out about other riders in the area and perhaps occasionally join in group rides. Just wanted to let you know that I will be watching to see if you manage to form some kind of group/noticeboard for the greater Philly area and am interested in joining.

Pico Zane Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'm super interested in EVU's. I've seen people ride them and I'm almost completely sold. Here are my thoughts. I live in a city and am unable to get a drivers license. EVU's seem to have the best range for the size. I have some medical issues that might prove the idea of an EVU is a deadend. I've fractured my left femur (11 years ago) and am missing muscle on the outside of my left leg. This means a I have a 30% reduction in the reach and strength of my leg to push outward from my left side. I would really love to feel how the ride effects my leg before investing. What are my options? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimbus2000 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Anyone here have I nikola I can't try out? I love my 16x but wouldn't mind some extra speed. Also if anyone is interested I've started a meals on (wheel) initiative in Philadelphia and have fed and hydrated at least 75 people in philadelphia so far, so let me know if youd like to get involved in helping people out in Philadelphia. I dont mind funding meals out of pocket and have started fund raising through instagram already, so there would be no cost for helping unless you want! Just need extra body's to be able to give more, and water is heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennBruce Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) You folks should come up to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Park and ride the McDade trail. 28 miles of the trail is open for bikes.

Albatross Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Did my longest ride today, 11 miles. Unlike the v8f, had no wobbling issues or major foot and leg fatigue. About half way through, on my way back, had a crazy old man with his shirt off, run in front of me and block my way. When I stopped he proceeded to scream at me that he will call the cops and that I am not allowed in the park and he is not going to let me fuck up his park. After I politely explained I him that it is also my park, as I live in the township and that I see e-bikes on that trail all the time, he just wouldn’t stop screaming. I got back on the Tesla and took off. When I got back to the begging of the trail, where I started, there was a cop sitting in his cruiser, right between the parking lot and the entrance to the trail, talking to some cyclists. When I rode past them, one of the cyclists pointed at me and yelled wow, that’s really cool. The cop looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. I rode up to my car. Put the wheel and my gear away, came up where the cop was and took the picture of the map of the trail. I was relieved that he wasn’t there for me lol. Overall a kick ass ride, looking forward to many more. So happy I found EUCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennBruce Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 @Albatrossyou have lots of interesting trails in your neighborhood. The Schuylkill River Trail looks interesting. You did good to average 17 mph on a gravel surface. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found out that kids got invited to a birthday party at core creek park tomorrow. I know there some trails there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarpMudd Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hey guys, I'm def up for hopping in the car to head up to a new trail - I usually ride local with a buddy of mine. I've ridden the Schuylkill River Trail many times which is popular because it rides right into Philly. I know Pennypack Park, but have never ridden the trail, looks like a cool option. I'd also be up for checking out the McDade trail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work for EUCs in Pennsylvania? The Park Service permits eBikes on the trails. I've stopped and talked with a ranger and he didn't raise an issue with the EUC. Weekdays would be best as the trail has heavy usage in some sections on weekends. The next decent weekday I am heading down to Philadelphia to ride the Schuylkill River trail.
