Thanks Duf! I’ve been running my new 18XL at 40 Psi (tire says 35-45) and although good, I was finding it a little unstable and not as good as people say it is. Just had a quick run out at 31PSI (as you mentioned in your video) and its like a different wheel! Even smoother, more nimble somehow and it also seems more responsive? Feels safer as well! Cheers!
Yea dude I used to do the same thing, always pump to the range listed on the tire. Since I started going lower on the PSI all of my wheels feel much better to me.
As a kid living in Port Charlotte Florida I would grab a large square of cardboard out of the Kmart dumpster, strap it on my back and use it as a sail on my bike. The 45 degree cross winds were the best. I got some good speeds on the frontage roads of HW 41 between the Peace River bridge and Harbor boulevard. I later learned to grab the back door handles of larger cars and hold on....... ahh ...the good old days!
Another fun looking ride, and I am happy the humidity has taken a drop for you. Last week was miserably humid here in southern Minnesota, in fact one day we had temps a bit higher than Florida. Today a sweat shirt was required for rides on the NLS Pro and Ranger X1. Looks like the wind on the return trip could have blown that coffee right through the back of your head:) Sorry about the Eagles performance today:)
who installed you additional battery? I've seen many wheels with inlarged battery in the US. In my county(Ukraine) I don't know who I can trust to do that. They say the wheel might act unpredictibly with battery inlarged. What about the warranty if something goes wrong? I'm just affraid to let some amateurs mess with my wheel
How well does the ks18 kick stand hold up in a tumble? I have made my own out of carbon and aluminum tube and both dont hold up well in a small crash. Also does it come with the screws to mount? Thanks.
To be quite honest, any rigid kickstand object is going to have a tough time surviving an impact with as heavy as the wheels are. There is no way the small area around those two screw mounts will hold up to that sort of stress. That being said I have had my kickstand/mudguard on my 18L for months and it's been fine but if you are the type of rider that gets into situations where the wheel drops a lot, you are going to go through a lot of kickstands.
@@Duf i hear you. I like to offroad alot and with that comes a few falls. I may test the durability of your stand also. If it holds up better than my homemade stands i will let everyone know.
@@ninja636king Yea my advice would be to remove the kickstand if you plan to do aggressive off road riding. The stands have had a very good track record. I have not heard of a normal one breaking. The only failure that was reported was a stand that was a partial print, scratch and dent model. (i replaced the bad part)
There's gotta be an easier way to just watch the sports team you want. I mean even if you don't mind the cost, the whole thing seems crazy inefficient and you can't be the only one.
@@Duf Even discounting piracy. I feel like plenty of money could be made by someone legitimately offering a package that doesn't require that much hassle.
Thanks Duf!

Now that is some creativity!
Thanks for the video Duf! 👍. Quick question, why the 18L with XL battery and not just an 18XL, out of interest?
When I bought my 18L I did not even know the 18XL was in the works. If I did I would have waited!
I was having some foot fatigue but I switched from tennis shoes to hard sole ankle high boots. Feels so much better now.
Cool, wearing these sneakers definitely made my foot pain less.

I've got the 18XL and 2000km later I still reckon it's one of the top if not the best euc...
It's hard to go wrong with an 18XL unless you insist on cruising at 35mph on a one wheeled self balancing device. :)
I was really hoping to see the chickens eat the watermelon.
Haha that can be arranged
@@Duf yes please.
@@COBARHORSE1 +1 request for chickens eating watermelon!
While waiting to see Duf's chickens enjoying their watermelon, I found this great video th-cam.com/video/UT86rcEMCy0/w-d-xo.html
What is a good tire pressure for the 16X I weigh 206 pounds
When I had the 16X demo I had the PSI at about 30 and it felt really good for me.
@@Duf thank you,I'm going to try that and see how it feels.

It isn't an additional battery, it is a replacement battery which I bought from dealer, Ewheels.com
I installed it myself which is a very easy task.
Great video.
Do you find that your feet "go to sleep" after all those miles? Mine do it after about 4 miles. Hurts like a banshee. .!
Yes but not after 4 miles. My feet ALWAYS will wind up going numb at some point on longer rides.

@@Duf does it come with the screws? I dont want mine to be to long or short
@@ninja636king Yep stainless steel bolts and nuts.
hey duf, how do i order stands from you.
Are you in the US?
Duf in WV. some say that’s not part of usa 🤣🤣🤣.
@@rayrokni True :) eucarmy.com/store
Duf you have good trails or routes down your way in florida for euc rides? thinking of taking a drive down to florida,
@@rayrokni I don't do much trail riding personally but there are a ton of great places to ride in Florida.

It's a huge money maker for them. There are pirate streams out there but I don't feel like going that route.
