Late holy ride

Last night after dinner Cindy, Katie and I drove out to Ave Maria to ride around for a bit.  We had hoped to grab some desert but the place we targeted had already closed.  Ave Maria is a pretty sleepy town, almost everything is shut down by 7PM.  Cindy and Katie wound up going into Publix to grab us something that we enjoyed in their outdoor seating.

Both Katie and Cindy were feeling quite cold riding despite being bundled up significantly more than I was.  Katie was actually riding one of the Minipros instead of her wheel to mix things up.  It didn’t take long for her to miss the extra speed and agility her EUC has.  She was very lucky to not faceplant at one point when she accidentally went down some steps on the Minipro.  She was able to bail without hitting the ground.  The self balancing magic in the Segway kept it upright as it crashed down the steps. Because of the girls feeling cold we didn’t stay all that long but it was better than nothing.

Earlier in the night I took one of the side panels off the Msuper to check some connectors used in the motor wiring.  There have been some reports of these connectors in some cases not being soldered correctly, causing them to come apart.  If they would happen to come apart while riding the end result would be the wheel shutting down and sending whomever was riding it flying in some direction.  You have to love Chinese quality control.  Luckily my motor connections appeared to be intact and secure.

Tonight I am hoping to pick up some of the fencing supplies I will be needing this weekend.  I would not be able to get it all in one load anyway so I figured I may as well get the first load out of the way so on Saturday we can use my truck and possibly Katie’s Ram to get whatever else is left.
