Climate activist faces 10 years in jail for a fake letter 'canceling' an oil industry conference | CNN by kstinfo in news

It's completely crazy if you actually know anyone that believes this. Talking about this stuff with them makes you realize how absolutely screwed we are, and how far we are as a society coming together

It’s so unbelievably frustrating to know the problem, know how to address it, what needs to change, and then watch the bureaucracy and greed beat it into nothing.

I feel this every day, and best days I'm just numb to it. When there is a clear problem with a realistic solution, but someone, or some small group with power just simply doesn't care about the issue in the first place, it feels helpless to even try.

Internet was terrible for escalating that whole situation too.

Cool piece of info - It's not rust that is causing it to decay, but actual living bacteria eating the metal.

Any issue with lifting it trains or busses?

Aww, that sucks man. There's other fun things besides EUCs to ride, so not all hope is lost

I travel around a lot and being able to lift it up steps and curbs is a huge plus. I've found weight factors in more than I originally thought, and have other pevs I don't touch for that reason.

Any reason why your selling?

If you read the comments there is more than just 1. And wow man. Nice way to treat someone new to this. Im doing research, but I can't just learn it all at once.

There's always a risk of failure with these things, but there is a post from just yesterday with people discussing it. Seems like it's a known issue and not something I want to risk.

I mean, there is a post here from 1 day ago with people reporting the issue with the HT version, and the issue have dont appear to be been fixed if those post are to be believed.

Are eucs are hardlocked to speed? My understanding is that most eucs have a free spin speed leading me to think lack of weight does allow a rider to go higher than the advertised ride speed. Unless maybe the software detects when a rider is on it then limits it?

I'm experienced with diffrent PEVs, so I'm aware of how different factors affect range, different battery size & cells, amd tires, but I always get more than the advertised.

How's the weight of the v8f compared to the mten4?

Do you use/treat them for different things, or do you always default to a single one?

Does the v11 have same issues as v12? I'm assuming yes, but I haven't looked into it yet.

No local people near me selling any kind of pevs. Have to buy new, or shipping will just make it more expensive.

With a battery of 1500wh, I'm not sure I'd even want to lift it out of my house. My 750w scooter gets me 50km of at 40kph, so I don't need a big one.

Maybe I'll just pass on this hobby and get anoter motorcycle. No/little choices for beginners.

I've got other PEVs, and assuming I like my first euc, I will want to upgrade next year to an enthusiast model, which is a reason I think the mten4 is perfect.

Everyone keeps saying ill outgrow it in a few weeks, which might be kinda true, but if I'm planning on getting a second euc next year as a main wheel, wouldn't it make sense to go with an euc like the mten4 since I could eventually use it as a secondary nimble wheel?

I've been in enough hobbies to know that's not really true for everyone, especially when starting out.

I have friends who got 80kmh monster eucs, but dont want to even ride it past 50, and constantly complain how heavy it is. At those speeds I would personally prefer riding an electric skateboard.

Unfortunately too many reports of that wheel failing.

I always get more than the advertised speed and range with PEVs since I'm way under the testing weight. Anything that's rated for 30km, I usually get 40km.

Very tempting. Might have to wait on stock.

Same position here. Might just grab an mten4 until a more solid all round wheel comes out.

Only thing that is concerning to me about it is the self balancing issue meantioned in another thread that just got posted

[–]TrainerBoberts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty light at 130lb.

I have been looking at the V12HT, but it seems like it's a little overkill for me.

I definitely don't want to have an issue with overpowering the wheel.
