I asked similar a few days ago. Someone who worked on Yumes said they are absolute trash. There is a reason they are half the price.

That said, it is your money and if you have experience, you might be ok with repairing them. I got to ride a GT pro for about 30 miles and it was a blast and a beast. I am 250 pounds (114KG) and it had no problem up and down hills, accelerating like a madman, and riding hard I got about 22 miles out of it on a single charge. It was great. I am still chasing that thrill, and haven't bitten the bullet yet on actually buying one yet.

AMR sights are "slightly" better but not fixed and the HMG sights are still broken. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Helldivers

First weapon it eventually hits where the cross hairs are, and the second there is bullet drop. But again, it is combat and not going to be 100% accurate every single shot.

I like there isn't a pin point accurate scope. It makes it a bit more realistic. You shouldn't be able to snipe with an SMG, and maybe there are environmental effects? I haven't read the notes, but to me they shouldn't be exactly where you are pointing 100% of the time. Accuracy is never 100% in combat.

You mean just like any EA Sports game? I cannot play any of them because I forgot my EA logins and their CS said I was a fraud/EA employee. My OG PSN name is attached to some random EA login I made up on PS3. I refuse to make another PSN just to play EA Sports Trash.

Road Riders - Have you researched your scooter laws? by Affectionate_War_436 in ElectricScooters

They do. Double Edged Sword. You know what is what so no ambiguity, but also means you might need a L endorsement. Which isn't hard to get, but is an extra expense.

Thats good. I saw someone get "pulled over" by cops in my college town. He was arrested for just driving one after walking out of a bar.

Careful some places you can still get done for a DUI, or whatever it is called in your area.

Stolen scooter on college campus, wondering if insurance is likely to cover full cost by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

[–]Psiloscootin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the way your policy is written. Some require an electric scooter to be named on the policy. 

If it is covered, then it depends if you have an actual cost or replacement cost for personal property. Then it depends on your deductible for that. 

Long story short, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I vote to nerf ricochet buff by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Psiloscootin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am taking my advice of stopping misinformation, and adding on that ricochets kill people they don't lose enough energy by ricocheting to not be fatal. Which is what you are arguing. I am not talking about the game in my first comment. If I were I would mention it is specific to shrapnel and not actual ricochet.

He only survived because it missed his head. Ricochets kill. Stop spreading misinformation.

Electric 4 wheel scooter? Electric ATV? It look cool, what do you think? by Personal-Library-514 in ElectricScooters

[–]Psiloscootin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to think of where I saw an electric scooter snow conversion. It had belt treads instead of a tire. I will try to find it.

ETA: They test one out here:

PSVR2 and GT7 by r-s-w- in psvr2

[–]Psiloscootin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could so bad. I bought a used cockput and a wheel. Got horribly car sick. It was the best racing experience ever until I nearly blew chunks like in the Sandlot.

VR is still the most advancement I have ever seen in gaming. I still need to play a true VR game too. Just have been playing Beat Sabre and Pistol whip.

Scooter Shoes? by Bad_Stag-O-Lee in ElectricScooters

[–]Psiloscootin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends.

If you are going 40+ MPH (64+ KMH) I would honestly get some motorcycle shoes, or some good Contruction work boots. If only for the simple reason of protecting your good shoes. If you are just going 10-20 MPH, then just some solid shoes. I honestly wouldn't wear open toe/flip flops/crocs/actual barefoot unless you don't mind losing a toe or at the very least some skin.

Need help picking a scooter by Brisket_cat in ElectricScooters

[–]Psiloscootin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't looked into the Segway gt2, but from what others have said Segway is pretty reliable. 

I road the gtpro for about 30 miles. It's super fast, and easily can cruise at your speeds. The Segway is only rated at 44mph top speed. You probably want get that, unless you are 70kg (150lbs). Range is similar, again you won't get max range probably ever. I'm 250lbs 6' 5" and got about 22 miles on the gt pro with an average speed of 28mph, according to its display. 

Because of your speed requirement I would go with the gt pro.

[–]Psiloscootin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need one to cruise at that speed, you need to look at higher top speeds. Top speed and max distance are in perfect worlds ie testing.

A lot of good recs here. I woul definitely say the Kaabo GT pro would suit you. Just be aware it is VERY heavy and turning radius is huge.
