    I'm loving this series! I've had a house guest since I got my new esk8 and finally got to go for my first ride this evening after taking her to the airport. Even though I'm right handed, I started riding goofy, and overall felt more confident riding that way. I spent about 90 minutes riding around the paths at a state park beach and felt fairly confident carving around. I definitely felt my confidence building over that time. I spent the first hour or so at 9-13 mph, but felt confident enough by the end to move up to 15-23 mph in mode 2. I noticed things started to get more twitchy at the higher speeds (and as I was starting to get a little more tired), so I decided it was time to pack it up for the evening and quit before I did something stupid, like try mode 3 or 4, lol! A couple of observations, I was impressed with the little 150mm AT tires ability to traverse divots, etc. On the downside I did find the turning radius to be a little lacking a few times, but I guess that's one of the limitations of having a ~39" board.
    Overall, I'm so glad you introduced me to the esk8's. So far I have zero regrets with the purchase and can't wait to take it out again this weekend! With that said, I am beginning to wonder how much use the e-scoots will be getting in the future...

      I’m glad you’re enjoying it! It’s been a ton of fun to learn and quite rewarding! I’m glad your board finally came in and you’ve been enjoying it 👊🏼. You’re much braver and picked it up much quicker than I did 🫡, I still can’t get over the 21+ mph hump to try mode 3 out of 4 in traffic. I can do higher speeds in practice but it’s terrifying when theres traffic around. It doesn’t feel like second nature yet!
      The AT tires are amazing for comfort but does have its drawbacks. I just installed my new cloud wheel street Rover 110s and I’m still getting used to them! It’s quite harsh but the board feels more responsive.
      I took some time to recover after my crash where I tore up my hip but I’m back on the board practicing. I recorded episode 4 so it’ll be ready next week but I have a group ride video for y’all this week!
      Thanks for joining me on the journey, I’m glad to spread the esk8 love! Just do what I do, ride the one that you’re feeling that day! 😂

      @@eyebahnrides I hear you on being reserved at this point. I was getting really comfortable up to 15 mph on mode 1. Mode two started off well, but I did catch myself almost eating sh!t while carving back and forth closer to 20 mph. And sobering when it happened and realizing I wasn't going to be running it off if I did, lol! I can maybe see using the higher modes for going in a straight line in a somewhat controlled environment, but I just don't think I'd have enough confidence to go that fast at this point as any incorrect slight input (on my board at least) would be disastrous. I suspect my board is faster than yours, but I can't see me ever wanting to go 37 mph on that damn thing, EVER!
      Good info on the other wheels! I got a set of the 120mm cloud wheels with mine, but I think I'll hold off on trying those for quite a while. I had originally thought about getting a set of 75mm-85mm or so squared-off street wheels also, but I don't see me doing that now for the foreseeable future. I'll keep my 150mm AT training wheels on for now, lol! I set the pressure at 42 psi and with mine having shorter sidewalls that yours, they feel very responsive and have tons of grip, even over light sand patches on the paved trails I was carving on, but there's no doubt in my mind the urethane wheels are still much more responsive. At this point, for me anyway, the last thing I think I need is even more responsiveness or slip, haha!
      Another thing I forgot to mention that kind of caught me by surprise was the range of the board, I only used one bar after 90 min or so... No way could I outlast the battery in this thing in one day! Insane range. I don't doubt for a second it would go 40+ miles at

      @@ssoffshore5111 Your board is definitely a bit faster than mine because the At2+ only goes 33-35mph (which honestly I don't think I'll ever do). Now that the weather is nicer and I have a bit more time, I'm finding more time to practice. I'm feeling quite a bit more comfortable at speed. However, it's a different story when you're in NYC traffic. Like you said, the margin for error in the city is slim at best. Even if you take just the bike lanes, you better have full control of your board in rush hour. There you have citibikers/delivery people/cyclists/ PEV users on your ass in a potholed riddled lane thats barely 3 feet wide all while having to keep an eye out for unaware pedestrians/ animals/ debris. Not to mention most of the bike lanes now have a cement block on one side while you have the curb on the otherside. Thats why most of us call those places death traps!

      @@eyebahnrides I know you're used to living in the city and being in the traffic/confined areas, but I agree you basically need to get to the point where the board is an extension of your body and everything is second nature before playing in NYC traffic or in those bike lanes from hell. I have to keep reminding myself, even in open areas, one wrong move could be seriously life-changing, and not in a good way! 🙃

      100% agree with that observation of the bike lanes. It's an absolute deathtrap especially in the city. That's the biggest reason I haven't commuted yet is because I'm stuck in the bike lanes at the speeds I'm capable of on this thing lol. Once I can do 24-30+ I think I'll finally commute because I can jump in and out of traffic.

      Hey Steven, thanks for watching this video as well! I'm currently rocking the 7inch pneumatic AT tires that come with the AT2+. I do have the Cloudwheel Rovers 110mm (4.3 inch) wheels coming in soon. I plan to swap to those when I start commuting because I don't want any flats since I've gotten 7 flats across 3 PEVs over the last years from road debris.
      I'm glad I'm looking more confident and it almost looks like I know what I'm doing! Interestingly enough, I had my first fall as soon as I turned the cameras off and I tore up my hip/ helmet. I actually ended up getting armored pants because of that. Despite that, I'm loving my experience with esk8 so far. Nothing can replicate the feeling of cruising and carving on a board!

    Hi Ivan, I have a technical question: is there such a thing as throttle control by leaning? I goggled it briefly and didn't found any info. It works as follows: to accelerate you lean forward (as EUC), to maintain speed you keep in the middle, lean back to decelerate (as EUC). That behavior might be implemented via two weight sensors on the axles. It seems like a very natural way to control the motor(s) and leaves both hands free.
    What do you think?

    • @eyebahnrides
      @eyebahnrides  Год назад

      Thanks for watching the video and welcome back to the channel Vredda! I'm not sure if there's a gyroscopic control for the boards yet. Somewhere on RUclips, I saw someone jerryrig a lever type of throttle/ brake that was built into the board. It looked like it would accelerate and decelerate based on the lean of the back leg. I'm so new to esk8 that I'm not really sure something like that would work. There doesn't seem to be enough space for anything on the trucks so everything is generally built into boxes that are attached to the bottom of the deck. I think that the onewheels use the gyro sensors like the EUCs but it's a single wheel set up as well

      Hello Eddie, thanks for watching the video. I don’t work for WowGo so I wouldn’t know what’s going on. If you ordered from their site, it gives you options to ship from China or the US and it’s definitely legit. If you ordered 3rd party seller that’s a different story.
      If it makes you feel better, I ordered cloudwheels rover 110s for my board and it was supposed to arrive in 2 weeks. It took a month as it seems that they’re having production and shipping delays from China.
      This probably isn’t the info you’re looking for but I hope it helps. I suggest reaching out to WowGo customer service. They’re quite responsive in my experience.
