@@fcndrone Ah ok very cool. I still think carrying around an extra battery pack and having to swap it out daily will be very inconvenient. I am not sure what your budget is but I would look at wheels with a bit longer range depending on how far you want to travel each day. V14 is probably around 40 miles (64 km) on one charge. So if you want to travel farther maybe look at the leaperkim Lynx or even the Sherman L which has much longer range and comfortable suspension. I am assuming you have ridden an EUC before correct?

I saw a guy mention the zip tie method, I tried it, and it honestly made it harder for me. What works the absolute best is a finger and some dish soap, take a small amount and go around the rim with your finger after you break the bead, and the tire will come right off, you can apply the same thing when putting it on too, it slips right off and on with no pressure.

That crash most definitely did not have to happen. Don't ever bail on your wheel. Be 100% committed to staying on it. My observation is that you are not braking nearly hard enough. Keep your back perfectly straight and your chest out but get your ass way behind the backside of the wheel, and practice super aggressive braking. It is super exhilarating once you get the hang of it. As soon as you feel that wobble do a super hard brake then come back up, turn a little bit, and accelerate and the wobble will go away instantly. Also I find that if my wheel ever wobbles even a little bit I straighten myself up like a perfect statue and that kills it too. I had one happen to me at 40 miles an hour on my Lynx, I stayed committed to the wheel and did a minor turn and accelerated which is counterintuitive but there are a number ways to kill the wobble with more experience. Plus your brain becomes hyper tuned to react the moment it starts to happen so that you do not give it an opportunity to progress.
