Riding EUC in WINTER - Part 02: EUC PREP (ft. Eevees Mechanic) 

Very good video on Winter riding. The optimum temperature for our Lithium Ion Batteries is 15 to 35 degrees Celsius. These batteries produce electricity from a chemical reaction. This reaction is slower if the battery is cold, this has two main adverse side effects, it increases the internal resistance of the battery making it harder to discharge, and it will cause the formation of dentrites on the anodes of the battery during charging/ discharging, which reduces capacity (permanently), and can lead to failure (that's 0 C and lower). Batteries also have less capacity when cold 20% at 0 C as you indicated. I would not charge a wheel with batteries below 5 C. Long term storage 40-60%. In which time some all of the batteries will have leaked away some of their charge. This process may well have have a bigger effect on some cells over others. If you were to then ride that wheel without first charging it to capacity and thereby leveling the batteries the danger is one on more cells will be reduced to zero. If that was to happen the other cells will attempt to reverse charge those cells as you ride the wheel which is instant death to your battery pack. The message after long lack of use, charge you wheel and level your batteries. I have a 20L back pack cover for the master for if I get caught out in rain. Generally I try to avoid very wet conditions. Suspension. Those slides and shocks. I wipe them over nearly every time I ride. I have some cycle dry lube to stop corrosion and keep the seals sweet. Last but not least, if you do get your wheel wet, wipe it off when you get home and most importantly keep it upright.

Such a high quality videography for such a underappreciated topic. EUC!

Mono cat your videos are great, you are super cute and I am in love! 😂😂😂 Have fun out there! Thanks for the inspiration.

That cap fits you well.

Thank you for that battery explanation. In all its better not to ride your EUCs in really cold temperatures. Thanks for that

Your videos are very informative, thank you for your detailed video.

You are putting up some wonderfully informative videos Kate. Thank you.

Very informative and insightful as always. Love the presentation and the perspective!!

Fantastic series, thanks!

Cheers thanks for the series monocat!!! Edit add: Super cinematography Vlad!

Great job Kate. Really good information about battery’s too. ✨✅✨You’re Awesome!

Thanks for this awesome video. My 84v MSX needs a ton of work.

I just put a deposit on the V13 from you guys! My gotway can rot in the corner for a while longer. I can safely say I wouldn't be riding euc if not for you and the rest of the EUC community youtubers

IRC SN26 nice tire for sherman . Its winter tire . I will install it because my default knobby is almost worn .

2:46 it is not a knobby tire, is DualSport tire - we need to separate them. We must be able to distinguish between them, Kasiu.

Love your helper :D

Love your videos ❤️😍

The dog at the end definitely contributed to the editing. 😅

Nice video! 😃 👌 Nylonove of course 🥰⚡❤️

I ride my kingsong 16x with OG tires and cns pedals from ewheels. Works great winter riding in Edmonton Alberta.

I learned a lot; but tell me, do they put super capacitors between the motor and battery to absorb the regenerative braking energy and protect the cells?

Excellent battery advice for cold weather operations. It is preferable to never charge to 100% unless you are riding immediately after charging... and absolutely never charge to 100% if your initial ride is downhill, regardless of air temperature, where voltage "overhead" is necessary to store the regeneration capacity from the regen current. It will be interesting see the V13 battery temps coming from those that have extended use in snow.

I never thought about getting colder with the honycomb pedals..did it happend to you?

how do you transport your EUC if you're traveling to a different country?

How long it took to make this video?

What is Kate's accent? 🙂 I can't remember where she's from.

So like is she and Adam not together anymore or what

No more relationship with WrongWay ? What happened?

Y did u break up with. Wrong way

Unfortunately people lost interest for the EUC nothing new anymore
