Smile FrankenSeg Meets the BMX Track

After having watched the video of the dude gliding a Segway on a SuperCross track, I tried to find one. But the closest I could find was a BMX track.......

Thumbs up

That's a really good advert as to how capable an x2/FrankenSeg is at dealing with tough terrain. Not sure about the music though!

There's a similar BMX track near me which I think I'll just have to try... If only the x2 would fit through the entry gate designed to only allow bicycles through. Those BMX track developers really didn't think ahead!

It looks like it's struggling on smaller hills than the x2 in the other video... which proves my point about the software difference

Not really, more like pilot error and hesitation. Did another pass of the same course without the pauses. Also, unlike the supercross track, the bmx track has a mix of grass, mud and gravel.

Well, gravel, grass and mud is not part of my question, how high a torque-peak the software allows is...

It's no where near as steep as the supercross-track, anyway, so it's hard to compare... For fun, find a hill it can't go above, and then find a nearby x2-owner...
