CaptainKBLS Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's still August but I already have to wear a jacket when riding in the evening. I'm not complaining about the cool August but this will be my first Fall/Winter with EUC. I'm not sure how much riding I'll get when it gets colder. My bathroom remodel has been neglected since I've got these EUC. I guess the cold will get me back to the bathroom. I'm assuming your face will be freezing when the wind hits. Right now I'm enjoying that breeze but I'll probably curse at it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ridden my bike and scooter in this weather and it's a matter of bundling up as usual. My thoughts will be more on the quality of the sidewalks/roads. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually find that a big burrito will get me back to the bathroom. But each to his own, I guess. Seriously though, I'm in Seattle, and in the Fall/Winter/Spring it's usually rainy. I have to look for days when the weather is less likely to be rainy. This Summer though, has been nothing but sun. My car is rarely out of the garage; I'm taking the wheel to work every day.

Look at the positive side though, when riding in the winter getting hurt is less likely with multiple layers on . We will all look like cat burglars wearing ski masks. Maybe instead of people asking me questions they will run away instead..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemoy Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've only been riding for 3-4 months. This will be my first winter as well. I don't think I will push my luck and ride when there is snow on the ground. Other wise I guess it will just be bundled up while riding. good thing is less protective gear. bad is your expensive coat will be your protective gear.

Probably not for longer periods. I did start wearing gloves tonight. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It's my second winter with the EUC, and I ride a lot less when it's cold, and I don't ride if there is snow. Even if you are clothed very well (pullover, down jacket, warm double trousers, warm gloves), after some time the cold airstream crawls through, because you don't move on the wheel. This is less a problem when riding a bicycle, and no problem at all when you are walking or skiing. So yes, I'm riding during winter from time to time, but dependent on air temperature not that long like in summer, and I usually don't ride at temperatures below -5 Centigrade.

Great advise to remember. Entering warm buildings, as pedestrians do, may help the cold commute. Interim public transport would also help to keep warm. Yes, the sightseeing would be shortened. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermanTheGerman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yeah, in winter skiing is a lot better than EUC, to keep oneself warm in the body and in the soul: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrolupus Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Winter wheeling -- at Ninebot One speeds -- was mostly fine last winter, here in the northeast US. I had to be conscious about handling on ice/possible ice, but I found it to be fun. As for the cold... Well, bundle up. I wore my snow pants over my work slacks on the coldest days. That 12mph breeze gets darn cold darn quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARPed1701D Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 From what I have read here the ability of the battery to deliver the necessary current to keep you balanced is an issue in colder weather. Be wary of snow and ice but also of your wheels ability to keep you upright even when well charged. Ride slow and steady and reduce unecessary sudden current loads through sudden speed changes and bumps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being your from the Northeast do remember how warm it was on New Years Day 2017? 60 degrees! I was surprised just how few people were down by the docks that day.

Pyrolupus Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sure, but then we had that massive snow storm the same winter! I was busy with other things for the New Year and couldn't do any wheeling about. I made up for it later, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
