Anybody got experience with this tyre or one like it on the KS16S? No. But I think it's accurately described "winter/off-road" Great for mud and fresher snow, bad for hard surfaces, and ice/densely packed snow (Very noisy, fast wearing). But don't think for one second you will be able to change tires in the evening to match tomorrows weather. In addition to the hassle of changing tires, getting the wheel apart and together is a real PITA. Better buy two EUC and put this tire on one of them. Looks like you can screw studs into it for ice/hard packed snow. Hmmm, You've got me thinking now, I've got two wheels, one of them is already in pieces........

But over the past night, winter hit (really early for where I live) and we got a bit of snow, and I wonder if I should just wait for spring to learn the EUC. Since you are banging up your first e_Horse anyway in the process of learning, you may very well go ahead an have Santa Claus get you one. Practicing in the snow, will definitely be harder and take longer, but if your brain will figure it out under such difficult conditions, you will become a hell of a rider, when the snow is gone. And falling in the snow looks more fun than falling on asphalt. But be advised it is definitely more dangerous to learn on snow and as with snowboarding you should learn, practice and master how to fall before you get on your new toy. I myself would probably not wait. Just got myself a vurtego V4 pogo stick for Christmas in order to expand into the 3rd dimension. So let's see how this goes. ?

mezzanine Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I haven't got any experience with ice/snow yet, but my limited experience with mud has terrified me about the danger potential of ice. I hit any mud, even on the otherwise very stable KS18, and I immediately feel out of control. Surprisingly out of control. I didn't expect it to be quite as difficult to get through slick terrain.

In time, your brain will figure it out. Actually faster then you may think. "You learn skiing in summer!" they say. And it is true. There are a lot of subcontious things going on when learning. So just keep on trying. I hated mud and wet green after a nights rainfall, BUT now I love it. It's like a drug. Before practicing in the snow, going to Hawaii and practicing in the sand on the beach might be a good idea. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a patch of mud in the middle of my driveway, right where it intersects the sidewalk. It was the natural place for me to turn on to the sidewalk. I don't turn there anymore Gets your attention in the middle of a turn 2 minutes ago, Toshio Uemura said: Before practicing in the snow, going to Hawaii and practicing in the sand on the beach might be a good idea. ? I've ridden a few beaches in Spain. Its fun, until you hit a soft spot and the wheel stops dead. Nah! it's still fun. Loose deep gravel is good training; lots of sliding sideways and twisting as the wheel scrabbles for grip. Also fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick mud is scary. I have hit a few patches at slow speed, and now I avoid it or walk the wheel through it if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just put one of these winter tires on my trusted friend, the Ninebot One E+ for snow fun, and since it doesn't allow for crazy speeds in winter it's rather easy to resist the temptation that my MSuper V3 would pose. But before I order, are there any tutorials for dummies on how to change tires? Is it easy or as horrible as I imagine it to be ... or even worse?

It's 10pm and 63 degrees (17 Celsius) - yikes If you have an area where you can practice and learn (parking garages?) I would get one now so that come summer, you'll be a pro at riding and you can fully enjoy the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Japan can have our Canadian winters. If it was summer here all year long I wouldn't . Days are so short by the time 5:30 pm rolls around it's dark plus there's so much snow, and the cold sucks the heat out of you. Thankfully it's been mild lately so I shouldn't complain too much. Anything over 0°C is a nice day. If some more snow would melt away that would be perfect. I don't mind bundling up if I can try out my Tesla a bit more!
