How are you balancing convenience, comfort, and safety, especially in the heat? Right now, I am wearing torso protection, shoulders and elbows, gloves + palm protection, knee + shin, and hip + thigh + tailbone protection.

Do you wear a two piece or one piece and change at work, into your work clothes, or do you also have these small several pieces like me that you take off at work?

Do you keep anything underneath while at work?

My biggest problem is honestly just my leg protection (hip, tailbone, and thighs) underneath my pants while at work for 8-10 hours. My work requires me to be active. I get hot in my upper legs and there’s little breathability out the sides of the legs where the hip and thigh pads are. I get big ass sweat spots on the sides of my underwear where all the pads are at.

I’m thinking about not wearing my upper leg protection during the summer, but I still feel too sketchy to not wear them while riding. It’s kind of inconvenient to take my upper leg protection off during my work hours, since I gotta take my pants completely off, but maybe I should just start doing that lol.

I’m desperately needing some wheels. The traffic where I live is bumper to bumper, dead stop, there’s no way I can keep this up and keep a job after constantly being late.
I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t a first world emergency.

Who’s a pro and also a homie who can help with a promo code?

Thank you

Sorry for the lame post

It’s almost like a game now. Every time there is a new post I guess whether it will be an “I’m the expert” post from a certain someone or a “I can’t do something really basic” post from that same guy.

I think it’s an AI agent bot farming answers to questions to learn.

Squirrel ran in front of me as I was riding my lynx-s and since I don’t have back pads I couldn’t stop in time. Luckily the squirrel moved out of the way before I hit it.

Was wondering any tips on bunny hopping so next time I can just hop over the squirrel if needed.

Practicing doing turns in the grass is the best way to gain stability.

Riding in the grass exercises tons of other leg muscles.

Hi all first time ever buying/riding a EUC after some weeks researching i noticed that the Falcon was a good choice. This afternoon after lunch i looked on eWheels and saw a refurbished one with 12 miles for $1200. While researching alot of folks recommended purchasing from eWheels than from Begode themselves even if a new one was $1000 due to ewheels customer service, support and warranty being good.

Was it a good purchase or no?

Hi

I took a chance with the Begode Race, hoping I'd be a lucky one without issues. Sadly, haven't been the case. Opened it out, took out of transportation mode (I think?) It at least started self balancing, but just keeps leaning forward, then turns itself off. just wanted to turn it on so I could roll it to where I needed it to be. I could see and hear, it was beeping, only showing one bar blinking of battery. Put it in the charger, but then. It doesn't charge.. Damn it!!

Anyone got suggestions what I could do here? :D I know there is firmware from telegram which might help out. However it's so low battery, don't even know if it has enough battery to do firmware change, but I might try if I can't get any other help. I wrote to Begode, and waiting to hear back. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’m a heavier guy (220 lbs at 5’10”). This will be my first EUC and I’m 1000 percent on the buy once cry once team.

In my younger days I skateboarded for years and now I do own and X7 (onewheel). Not sure if that at all translates to riding an EUC. I am 40 but could still move a little and I am fairly strong.

Right now I’m between Xeno or Lynx S. Maybe even Aeon. But I’d be open to other suggestions. I’ll likely mostly be on street but honestly who knows how I’ll feel once I hit a trail. I don’t plan on using it for a commuter at all. I would like to go maybe 40+.

Thanks

Cannot brake on the heavy EUC, possibly need back pads to lean on?

Outside turn leg knee forward and on the EUC, Inside turn leg straighter and back is the best way to turn on a heavy EUC. I can turn tighter now.

Add weight to the outside foot to turn it stable.
Use the inner foot to brake and control it too.

Hello,

I have just received my euc, it's a v11y,

I'm excited about trying it!

I have many questions:

My main goal is to go for a ride with my children who are on a bicycle.

Which protective gear should I buy/wear? (Any suggestions?)

Is a bicycle helm ok ?

I made a search for a powerpads for the euc. But I am lost about that, I got a 3d printer. Any recommandation?

Sorry for misspelling, en is not my native language.

Hi all, I'm about 285/290 lbs. Down from my heaviest of about 330. I was down to 260 but needed some surgeries that set me back.

Anywho, as I get back to being more active now that I'm fully healed, I want to get a PEV, and the EUC looks the most fun to me. But the ones I've going that support my weight are all high end pro models that go crazy fast. Is there a beginner friendly EUC that can support my weight, or am I going to need to lose more weight before I can get into the hobby for a reasonable price.

I'm not opposed to buying a 3000 dollar EUC, but I want to know what I'm doing first and be sure I enjoy the hobby.

Has anyone ridden both? What did you prefer?

Kingsong has 18 inch wheel, Nosfet has 16. and both have suspension. Which one is "better" for hitting bumps?

Both have same battery capacity. Nosfet is 2000w motor but peaks at 4000, the KS is 2200W.

Both are 55lbs.

If someone said you could have only one, which one would you pick?

Hey guys! Just wanted to see what everyone thoughts were between these two wheels!

I recently traded my patton S for a nosfet Aeon!

I really enjoy how light weight and low center of weight the aeon feels. But at the sametime I miss how stable and planted the Patton s felt at 60km/h +.

What do yall think?
