If I manage to repair my King Song's pedal (I hate opening these machines up), then I might be able to ride Sunday. Otherwise, my new GW Monster arrives in just a few days so... for the next weekend I can ride. I also have my old Solowheel, but the range is pitiful. Not worth it.

Sunday works...perhaps in the early evening? I reached out to a DC based group of Boosted Board riders in Facebook and some of them would be able to do Sunday evening too. A mixed group ride should be fun if we can make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 After a lot of tinkering and testing, I have now fixed the KS16, which means i'll be out and about riding in the city later today after I re-charge it. ? Turns out all that jumping off curbs and etc. is VERY damaging to the axle, the axle clamps, and the pedal clamps. I foresee I will eventually need to replace the motor, as those come with new axle and clamps already attached. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to nail down specifics but it will be around downtown I think. Considering the shorter range of their boards, you probably wouldn't need a full charge. Edit: 3pm Georgetown waterfront park at the end closest to Key Bridge Edited June 25, 2017 by RichieV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Fun. We should do more mixed wheel rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The Capital Crescent trail would be an excellent fit for a future group ride. It is up to 13 miles long (one-way), from Georgetown D.C. to Silverspring M.D., so only wheels with 680wh (or more) of battery capacity can do the round trip without worry. It has stores and other options on the path for taking breaks. A good idea would be to have a food/drink (or recharge for low capacity wheels) break in Silver Spring before heading back.

RichieV Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 It's gonna be a tad warm this weekend but that don't bother us with the constant breeze we feel when riding! Let's try to get a big group this weekend, let's say Saturday 11am at the Archives/Navy Memorial metro stop. We can buzz the sightseers around the National Mall and make the Segway tourists jealous of our much cooler rides. WHO'S IN? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be out there in DC either way, but maybe not that early, as I got something else going on in the city later in the afternoon and don't wanna get scorched by the sun.

A recommendation for a place to park would also be helpful as I'll be coming from 20-30 minutes away and am not familiar with that area.
