Shad0z Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 when i first got a euc i trained and then i got comfortable and used plenty of time to train turning skills and other important skills. to not faal off then i started exploring the +30kph speeds. and got faster and faster and then i ended up feeling the need to ride fast. but trying to just go slower instead and not speed everytime and after my first fall i feel like slowing down. but generally i feel the urge to speed up i dont speed up. but its not as enjoyable (its worth it compared to falling and smashing your wheel at 45kph) but does anyone know any tips or anything to think or do when riding to ride slower without compromising on fun?

Master Blaster Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 To enjoy going slow challenge yourself with more maneuvers like tight turns, 360s, ride backwards, try idling back and forth, ride with one leg on both sides of the wheel, there are tons of slow speed things to keep you challenged and entertained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esash Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You're making me think that a smaller, 14" wheel might be more enjoyable for those slow speeds. As a 14" wheel owner I lust for a bigger, more powerful wheel like your Tesla, but I suppose I should enjoy the possibly superior slow speed enjoyment factor. I'm really reaching, if you can't tell . They say the 10" MTen3 is also wonderfully fun for dinking around at slow speeds. You could also try more challenging trail riding when the ground thaws, or even more snow riding right now.

It is a fun fun wheel. In could weather I'll sometime dink around on it inside garage (1/2 of 2-car garage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring a good book or do some crochet to maintain the fun level while riding slow. There's nothing more fun or rewarding than to complete a new cat scarf while riding. Honestly though, while riding fast is a adrenaline rush, minimizing the risk of injury is more important to me. So I just try to tune in and enjoy my surroundings more. Carving on the EUC can help wake up the brain a bit if it becomes too monotonous. I travel about the same speed as I go when I'm riding my bike (18-20mph) and I'm perfectly fine with that.
