Set tiltback at the desired speed. You'll only be able to go max. 3 more kph than set speed coz tiltback will become extreme if exceed speed limit.

Being 1st EUC + Learning, I advise either sticking some bumper stripes around your new Tesla or risk getting scratches & cracks. For me, I've done my learning on my old X3-clone wheel. So I seldom fall. Still, I wrap my Tesla in either the V8's OEM or 3rd-party transparent cover ... to safeguard from too many scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannings Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Any idea best place to get a cover like that for the tesla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meng Yang Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nope. Not heard of a Tesla-specific cover yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meng Yang Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I use my Inmotion V8's OEM Cover, cut out the top cushioning and stretch it hard to fit the Tesla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ambiguous question, it agree) WRIST GUARDS my boy. When you go down your hands automatically shoot out to brace you. It takes nothing to mess up your palms and wrists, and days or weeks to heal. I can't recommend the "ninja" "par cor" tuck and roll for two reasons: 1. EUC offs, are completely out of the blue and often at supernatural speeds ( faster than a run). There's no time to think of a reaction,, and running off at speed is often injurious to knees and ankles, AND THEN you face plant anyway! just the reflex of outstretched arms, can be relied on. Unless you've got your hands in your pockets (DONT DO THAT, EVER!) 2. An unsuccessful or incomplete roll could result in serious shoulder damage, and possible life long consequences ( see recent posts on shoulder injuries by multiple posters) better to actually plant your face ( only one moving part, chin,), although ones face rarely kisses the dirt. Only once so far for me. No. Better to "spread eagle" it and protect those palms/ wrists. elbow pads too. FYI the one piece I don't wear anymore ( PITA) is knee pads, but they got plenty of action during training. I Use a motor cycle jacket with integral elbow and knee pads, mostly. I wonder which model. That's really good if it's the 84-volt high capacity version. Based on his 3-mile commute he might have chosen the lowest capacity model. Either way a good machine.

Cap speed? Yes , but ask HotWay riders what happens if you hit one of these lower limits, cos I don't know. Not even sure what happens on a KingPong. Probably violent tilt back. Not willing to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The speed alarms beep at you until you slow down, if you set them. That's all. Recommend disabling tiltback (and never ignoring any alarms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
