mmaner…it was definitely epic. So many favorite things, just being able to ride everyday (except rain/rest days) was amazing. When you’re crossing America on an electric board you get to see everything up close and personal. I really enjoyed the wide open spaces and skies of eastern Wyoming.

monsterbuilder…she didn’t follow, she would drive ahead 5-15 miles ahead and wait for me. She kept everything running smoothly, I couldn’t have done it without her. I am a very lucky man to have such a supportive wife. Here’s a shot of us at the Lincoln Memorial just before we finished on the steps of the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

Hey Hummie, “thisguyhere” nailed it I had three Inboard M1s. Each one ended up being ridden about 900 miles. No braking? I think you are asking if any of them broke…only changed one wheel the entire ride and only had one overheat warning.
thisguyhere - sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the welcome. I would do it again in heartbeat!
Yep, Inboard supplied three M1s, 15 batteries and 4 chargers,

Hi Pedrodemio - Thanks for following us! We had three interactions with the police/highway patrol. All of them were extremely positive. All were just interested in what we were up to. Two of them stopped to check on my wife as she was waiting in the support vehicle, and then ended up waiting with her until I arrived. Had two officers in Iowa help us get over the bridge that spans the Mississippi river.

Probably helps that you’re 62 and not 26.

You may have a point. Though it’s interesting, on my four pushes across America, I think we had less than 10 encounters with the police, only three were negative, two of them by the same guy…eight years apart (1976 and 1984 in Wisconsin). In 1976 were all 19. Not sure if I posted this previously, here’s a link to an short film about the first ride. Beyond the Sidewalk
