Do it well or not at all

Today I visited the island Tiutinen with my Begode T3 (Tesla V3). Before World War II, Tiutinen was Europe's most densely built-up area. The Russians wiped out all buildings with phosphorus bombs during World War II. The area is now rebuilt and with a electric unicycle you will find the most interesting places to visit.

You probably agree with me that with an EUC, you’ll notice a lot of things you don’t see while driving a car. In my pic you see the only Vladimir Lenin propaganda art outdoor statue in the world of this size. The Soviet Union forced the city of Tallinn in Estonia to donate a statue to my hometown of Kotka in 1979.

The charger for Begode T3 (Tesla V3) gets very hot when charging. This was the simplest solution I found to cool it down. The camera holder from the GoPro package + double-sided adhesive tape.

Five urban parks in my home town Kotka (Eagle in English) have been awarded the international Green Flag. In total, has this recognition been granted to nine Finnish parks. My EUC park rally map from this link: https://www.komoot.com/tour/377331988?ref=wtd

Hello everyone like-minded! Today I started using the Komoot app to show EUC riders the most beautiful routes to ride on in Finland. I do this to give other riders the joy of discovering new places.
So if you come to Finland, take advantage of my EUC maps.

It takes a little practice to reach this level:

In this photo you see one of Finland's first steam trains and Finland's first Begode T3 (Tesla V3). Of these two vehicles, Tesla is the fastest but the train have still the longest range.

I took a ride around the city with my electric unicycle and a gang with fat tire scooters came towards me on the sidewalk. They had a ghetto blaster with them and rap music flowed out from the speakers loud. But, I managed to hear one of the girls shout to the others: "That man looks much more cool than you guys do."

My second test drive with the Begode T3 (Tesla version 3) ended half an hour ago. This time I did not reduce the speed to 20 km/h, I rode at a speed that feels comfortable to me.
The only difference from the previous test was that I weighed 1.5 kg less than last time. The temperature today was 20 degrees Celsius warmer so there was no need to wear a lot of clothes.
The end result was that the biggest impact on how far you ride on a charge is most affected by the temperature, not the riding style. The wheel was set on hard mode during both tests. A rider of 70 kg weight can expect a maximum range of 70 km (44Mi) per charge with the new Tesla.

Today I did a range test on my new Begode GotWay Tesla V3. The manual promises a distance of 80-120 km on a single charge 100% battery (70 kg rider at 20 km/h).
We had clear weather outdoors with a temperature of +2 degrees Celsius. It was no wind and my weight is 76 kg.
It was quite hard to maintain an average speed of 20 km/h with this machine. We Finns find it very difficult not to press the accelerator pedal when driving on gravel roads.
The end result was a range of 61 km with 30% power left. So it keeps between the limits as promised in the manual. Those who like to ride at full speed, I think the maximum range is about 60-70 km.
For me, this means that I am able to do all my assignments during the working day without having to charge my wheel.
