How NOT to jump a gap with your e-MTB - FAIL
Ive had been riding the track for a couple weeks... hitting doubles and practicing my whips when this happened
Nobody was around at the time of my crash.. so I was unable to get up on my two feet and turn off the camera for 45 minutes...
- ohh lots of colours!!
- several times I was really close but I never lost consciousness..
Besides a couple stitches to put the skin back on my forehead and a level II separated left shoulder.. I injured my left (SI) sacroiliac joint because I had almost zero padding/armor between my back and the 1.8kg rectangle brick of a battery that was in my backpack... ouch!
What I learned.. dont let your front wheel dive before the rear wheel leaves the ground !!!
Both these injuries could have been lessened or prevented by wearing torso body armor..
E-MTB mid-mount specs.
Specialized FSR
36 volt 1000 watt controller
1000 watt brushed motor
40volt 8000mah Turnigy Nano-Tech battery
e-MTB weight: 37 lbs
0-50km/h in under 10 seconds with pedaling
0-45km/h in under 20 seconds without pedaling
Can climb anything the rider can attempt
