G-MOB = Glydiator Mob, originally coined by Shango (aka Lutalo), founder of the Washington DC based Glydiators, for high-speed/experienced only/fend-for-yourself type of rides though DC. I used to do these, and I did the first two Groundings in DC and Chicago, but damn... things have gotten much faster.

[@lostintheark5728]

I thought the G meant Gasless or Gearless, but Glydiator makes sense after your explanation.

[@gigafuzz0732]

Seems fun but also makes PEVs look bad, you all are riding on the road as fast or faster than cars, but not respecting the stop signs or red lights aswell as other laws. PEVs are getting banned in more and more places recently and i wouldnt doubt its because of stuff like this ruining it for others.

[@gigafuzz0732]

I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but how you ride promotes creating more laws against PEVs

[@voltron5128]

Yo bro…great vid….Ive got one suggestion that would help your viewers tremendously. If you would put your speedometer on screen to let us know exactly how fast your going it would give everyone lots of info about what’s possible/ safe when it comes to speed and turns. Hard to get a sense of what possible and what’s not safe in certain situations

Thank you for posting these videos as it allows me to vicariously live through you while I build the courage, confidence, and actual skill to go this fast safely.

[@grilliet9313]

Oh what do you mean skill to go this fast safely their just lucky if there was a cutout it could take you all out and injure bystanders. As I said there is a place for this . Maybe they should rent a race track for the day.

[@rombeek79]

Looks like a ton of fun, my only problem with it is all the traffic laws being broken. In a time when laws are just being written across the globe surrounding EUCs, if you ride like a dangerous biker gang, then lawmakers point to videos like this and create laws to prevent anyone from riding. Tickets are being handed out all over the place with ridiculous charges. Just like racing cars, you have to take it to the track. Glad to see everyone was safe and no injuries, awesome skill and ride. Don't get me wrong, their should be a police escort for this awesomeness!!

[@skampster]

@@rombeek79 well said, this group of guys will in time have a bad effect in general to the way the law is being considered. And the worst part is the smugness they show in this regard.

@@skampster yes your right there is a place for speed it's called a track . Not impressed this will continue to hurt the reputation specifically for the countries who are working so hard on the politicians to be able to ride legally. Even my country certain provinces trying pilot programs for a year to see how it goes. Its ok to have fun but there is a place for that . Ride fast but respect your fellow drivers on the road and running red lights is not cool man .This makes it harder to justify. Yes this is a shamming from a fellow euc rider fighting to keep riding.

[@LarryMorris-rs9wg]

I would like to see more and more EUC's on the roads, but when traffic laws are being violated like what I saw in this video, there will be more and more EUC restrictive laws written, and it will be because of lawless riders like these. My question to these riders is, Why are you so bent on getting your privilege to ride wheels outlawed?

City streets are our proving grounds. Where else are city residents supposed to test their limits and grow? This isn't about playing it safe for a few critics, it's about pushing boundaries and inspiring others. Instead of focusing on the negative aspect of it, focus on the positive impact and the awe they inspire in many of those onlookers in the background videoing them.

[@OldSloGuy]

We need to be aware of legislation. While road rage is the ultimate danger to a EUC, pissing off drivers who complain to their legislators comes in second. I am 80 years old and I have 3 EUCs. If the state decides I am too old to drive, I can still get groceries on a wheel. While I have an e-bike, I can't take that into a grocery store and the odds on having it stolen while parked aren't good. So, what we think of s fun is seen by many as bad behavior. In a world where interest groups without lobbyists have zero clout with legislators, we are an endangered species.

@@czaras_ Alright Karen, let’s get real. So you see a bunch of EUC riders cruising through the streets, and your first thought is to play traffic cop? Listen up: they’re not just some reckless daredevils out for a joyride. They’re calculating their every move, ensuring safety for themselves and everyone around them. When they roll through a red light, it’s not because they’re all colorblind, it’s because they’re avoiding the real danger….getting crunched between two tons of steel. And guess what? The first to cross in the group pauses and check to make sure it’s clear for everyone else in the group. It’s about survival, not defiance. You think street riders actions are going to bring down the hammer on all EUCs? That’s like saying motocross bikes and ATVs shutting down a bridge will get them banned. Newsflash: the world isn’t that black and white. We’re here to stay, and we’re doing it safely and smartly. So next time, instead of clutching your pearls and calling us out, try to understand that we’re out here doing what’s best for everyone on the road.

cool ride what exactly does 66 pwm mean ? is that to let you know if the battery discharges below 60%

[@PEVPOV]

PWM is a metric that shows the percentage of available power from the wheel. So at 66% I still have some headroom to go faster but if I hit 100% the wheel will turn off and drop me on my face

[@Lumboghini]

I have the commander pro 50s but i think my wheel has a defect because when i fully charge my wheel to 100% the begode app says i have 126 miles of range when the wheel is laid down on its face but when i tilt it up to balance it says it only has 78 miles of range left at 100% and my battery drains quickly. do you have this same issue?

[@PEVPOV]

126 kilometers is equal to 78 miles so it's probably just the conversion applying when the wheel fully turns on when upright. And no my battery doesn't drain quick I get great range

[@Lumboghini]
