Hi from Bavaria - Lake Chiemsee area

ViperGTS · 04-08-2009, 03:58 PM

After years of lurking I finally did "it".
The x2 is sitting in my garage for 2 hours now.
The first 0.6 miles across the lawn/garden - kids involved.
Lots of FUN. More later - it's dark here now.

Welcome. Have fun, keep smiling...

I have fond memories of your area, and that lake dating back to 1980...

ViperGTS · 04-09-2009, 03:48 AM

Thanks for the welcome.

Did the first offroad tour in the morning...and had my first "forced descent" from the x2 going a steep hill up and hitting some loose gravel/rocks. Both wheels spinning and ...voila!

Nothing happend to me or the SegWay but I know a little better about the limits now

Is a good feeling to glide around.

Everybody is watching me in "awe" on the Segway here - not too many around!

It looks like you may completely recharge those batteries getting back to that village...

Wonderful picture. Thanks for posting it. Makes me long for the mountains again, but my wife is a flatlander...

In fact, I took the picture half way up! When I arrived at my "destination" up the mountain the battery was still half full!

After 4 miles and going up >1650 feet in height at an average of 10 mph!

Congratulations on the X2, ViperGTS.

There is a Segway polo tournament in Cologne, Germany on July 17, 18 and 19. Teams from Germany, Austria, France, New Zealand and USA are going to compete. Hope to see you there.
