New to EUC. Want to buy refurbished InMotion. Reviews anyone?

As you may know, InMotion offers refurbished items. They have different grades with A being the best/light use; C Heavy use; B is obviously in between. I have never owned one of these, mostly will use it on vacation for zipping around from place to place. Has anyone ever bought from Inmotion specifically and if so, how was the product?

I should add that I am also looking for reviews and I have seen many as to the quality of this brand. I know they make the one that supposedly does 93mph and a lot of people seem to have those. Any help I appreciate!

Hoping to order tonight.

2 Weeks Into Riding! What do you guys think?

Super fired up on my first jump today. 2 weeks into riding and I finally feel like I’m finding my stride.

Modern alternative to V11? Looking to match: reliability, comfort. Looking to improve: fun, portability, maintenance

And something where I don't have to fill up the shocks every couple weeks!

BONUS:: SEATED RIDING

Does such a wheel exist?

Aero PWM + speed examples

Putting some numbers out there for those looking to get an Aero, and unsure about how much headroom it gives them.

Sample paramaters of the run:

  • Rider weight 220 +/- with gear, and a backpack with groceries.
  • Temperature a little over 90 degrees F
  • Dry conditions, little to no wind, Sunny. Good visibility.
  • Uphill, 30mph speed limit, wide suburban streets with intersections every so often. Wide enough to fit two cars comfortably side by side in the same lane. 4 way stops every few blocks.
  • Sidewalks are wide, multi-use paths.
  • Pilot Street 2 tire

Practically this means:

  • 25 is probably the speed I feel safest going under good road conditions without ever tripping the 20% safety margin alarm, up to probably 60% battery.

  • 28 is possible, but it's simultaneously "Not fast enough to be worthwhile" and "Too risky to keep doing for extended periods".

  • 20 is it's happy cruising speed where I don't have to be concerned about PWM at all, regardless of terrain, until maybe bottom 20% battery, at which point I might occasionally trip the 20% safety margin.

  • 20 miles of range minimum under these riding conditions.

  • 25 miles on average if riding at a happy 20 most of the time.

  • 30 miles is possible if one rides very slowly. ( 10 mph, gentle acceleration, seated. )

For US Suburbs, you end up needing something like a Lynx to be able to keep up on streets that don't have bike lanes or sidewalks, and not being concerned about overpowering the wheel. I specifically chose a time where traffic on this street was minimal before running the test.

By the same token, you could ABSOLUTELY get away with so much less than an Aero if you're committed to being a sidewalk/path rider and never sharing a space with cars.

Joined the ranks!

Found a V8s used for a solid price (yes I know it’s the internet and if I’d found it for a stick of gum, then one of yall would tell me ya got yours for a tic tac and a wink.😉)
I’m being smart and getting pads and protection. I would love some suggestions on helmets. I plan to make this a casual rec wheel, not commuting or racing.

Nosfet Aero or Begode Falcon Pro

I'm looking to buy my first wheel and these are roughly the same price. The Falcon Pro has better specs but it seems that the quality is not as good. I will use the wheel mostly for commuting with the occasional "smooth" trail rides. Thanks for any feedback!

Bonus: I actually think the Begode C8 is the best bang for your buck with the current price but the main issue is it doesn't really fit a seat and I wanted to walk my dog seated with an EUC because it seems safer.

Anyone downgraded from the Nosfet Aeon to the Aero? Regrets or pure happiness?

Hi team,

If you made the switch:

Are you happier with the Aero for daily/city use?

What were your main reasons for downsizing (weight, ergonomics, agility)?

Do you feel like you "stayed wise" and preserved your back/joints, or do you miss the raw power of the Aeon?

Would love to hear your experiences before I make my choice!

Thanks!

Trying to find riding shoes with good Ankle support/protection.

Recently crashed going around 27 mph on gravel incline and I sprained my ankle. Now I’m trying to find a shoe that is good for supporting my ankle to prevent that from happening again but also easy to take on and off so that I end up actually wearing it often instead of never using it. I also have a nosfet aero so I want them to work with that euc.
These are the ones I am looking at so far.

Lynx s and a few beeps

I got my brand new Lynx s yesterday and went for a quick ride. Turned on DarknessBot as well.

I’m getting these small chirps right around the time I’m stopping and ready to dismount. Another time j was making a 12 mph turn. I can’t imagine j have the warnings set this low but between the wheel and the app, anyone have any idea what could be giving me the little chirps? Not an aggressive beep, but a chirp

Smart watch spedometer?

I ride a ks s18p+. There's no way that I know of to monitor my speed, and im curious if there's a smart watch app anyone uses to monitor their speed while riding.

Hit the trail road for the first time.

My greatest EUC selfie ever.

Finally felt comfortable enough with my skills (3500km of riding) to adventure out to the hill roads outside my city.

It was mostly like that, so that was easy, but there were a pair of places that became sketchy for my taste (egg sized rocks on the whole width, like if you rode on a track ballast) but I had confidence in the S16Pro power to push through, if I did not panic)

There were LOTS more people than I expected, I thorughly enjoyed their WTF faces, and a few thumbs up and cheers from bicycle riders.

The wheel cleanup afterwards was...interesting, to say the least, so, SO dusty. So it's not like I'm gonna hit this trail daily, but definitely going back from time to time.

--------------- FOR DATA NERDS LIKE ME -------------------------

Maximum elevation was 500m from sea level. I used 32% battery (68% left) to get there, mostly at 15kph since I didn't know the trail at all. Since it was the first time I was there, I did not want to push the battery on a still going up road (maximum elevation acording to google earth would be 750m), so I stopped at a convenient crossroad and turned back.

I recharged a 6% battery on the way down until I reached the city, and spent another 10% citywise, so I arrived home with 64% battery left. Honestly, it felt great knowing I could go quite a bit further still.
Total ride lenght was 23km.

I love how the data shows so dramatically when I stopped and turned back.

Working up the courage to ride over 30mph

So I’ve been riding my Begode extreme pretty consistently for about a month and am very confident in bike lanes and even have been more recently riding on trails off-road. Want to learn to sit down and also want to learn to hop curbs. I’d like to be able to ride anywhere I need to but when I get on roads that are 35mph+ I realize I am not comfortable accelerating up to the speed of traffic and feel like I’m getting in the way of cars. Was anyone else stuck in this place for awhile? 20-30mph still feels fast for me but I want to be able to accelerate up to 30-40 from standing still at a light so I can ride on normal roads. Not trying to do daredevil stuff the EUC is purely a practical mobility device for me.

I'm beat!

Well, I just got my first UC delivered today around noon a king song f-18 then proceeded to spend the next 3 hours riding around a small Park to get the fuel for it.

I then progressed on to a state park on the river pretty much all of which was off-road riding and none of it was crazy fast because I'm still figuring out balance and turning and all of that but let me tell you I am absolutely wrecked.

My calves quads muscles around my knees aren't toast. I rode until my legs were literally shaking so bad I had to get off.

Took a few hours off tried to go out for another ride just a few minutes ago and turned around after a couple blocks because I am just jelly. Hahaha. I definitely underestimated the level of leg burn.

Pushing your wheel up a curb

Because I can't reply with videos to a thread that asked.

Aero being pushed up.

Have the tire make contact with the surface, then gently push forward on it as if you were accelerating.

I realize the video makes it look like I'm manually lifting it what with grabbing both handles, but that's just me making sure it doesn't veer off to a side. The wheel did all the actual lifting.
