GTS First Ride

HanahsDax

@OneDanGTS You West Coast Riders always get a head start on the game. I even ordered on launch day. Insult to injury, just like my GT, I have to let it warm up for a couple hours before its first full charge. It was delivered about an hour ago and felt like a block of ice. Here it is being cozy by the fireplace. No name yet and I’m opened to suggestions. I’ll share a better pic after my first ride.

OneDanGTS

@hanahsdax Woohoo! Can't wait to hear about your first ride!

This board’s maiden voyage was on what the local MTB riders call the “Connector Trail.”

And the first battle scar.

@hanahsdax gahhh, those mountains are GORGEOUS, and you already have snow on them! the first ding on the board hurts so much, i'm sure!

LOAFFETTE

@hanahsdax WHAT

OneDanGTS

I know, I said I was gonna try to slow down . . .

OneDanGTS

@hanahsdax Looks like TFL finally got the GT Bangs out but, alas, they are already sold out!

LOAFFETTE

@onedangts Jeff when all the BANGS for GT sold out:
moneymoneymoneymoneymoney

OneDanGTS

@loaffette I mean, I was in there on Tuesday and would've bought a set, but he didn't have them yet. So they went REALLY quick!

LOAFFETTE

@onedangts how much were they? 100?

OneDanGTS

@loaffette They show $150! He has an install video and he explains why.

LOAFFETTE

@onedangts Not a bad price honestly

OneDanGTS

@loaffette Agreed . . . considering he said injection molding can spit out a bumper in .5 seconds and these take 30 minutes each to make!

@loaffette said in GTS First Ride:

Keep us posted on any new developments, I'm happy that you're happy with your board

So in the first 80 miles, I've learned one really nice result of the torque. While at low speed, it feels comparable to the GT, but mid and high range, it allows much easier passing for my rides on the bike paths. And then when the road is wide open, it's almost scary how fast you can speed up.

I actually rode an ADV Pro at the park, it was one of the TFL guys boards he loaned out to a buddy. I was on it for like 5 min, but it felt to me like the GT, but I have no idea how it was tuned and I've been on the GTS. He tried my board and I told him to try some hills and he came back with a big smile on his face.

@onedangts I really really want a gt-s now if thats how it is
I've been looking for a board or just some setting/setup in vesc that would let me just do that kind of sudden acceleration

NotSure

@onedangts i miss that FM reflective blue color. Wish they made those for gt now. Such a good color.

OneDanGTS

@notsure You mean like the XR rails, right? You'd think they could at least make some rail guards with that color so we could make them look nostalgic!

Although, doesn't C&R allow you to make rail guards from custom images? Might be worth a try!

TheAdman

@onedangts C&R certainly do, I have some myself. The quality is superb.

NotSure

@notsure i got some custom ones pending. two sets pending actually.
