Finally 40
Last night was my last one with the demo Sherman. We actually had a rain free day so after work I wanted to try to get out to attempt one more time to crack 40 mph on the wheel. The sound the big knobby tire makes at speed is un-apologetically loud and in your face. On my third attempt I hit 40.1 mph and then the attempt after that I topped out at 41.5 mph. Even with as stable as the 80+ pound wheel feels at speed, going that fast on a one wheel self balancing device is a white knuckle experience. I was up late last night packing up the wheel and editing the footage. Here is the result.
