Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I wonder how common it is to have someone steal another person's EUC. Considering these things cost anywhere from $200 to $2600, these wheels are fairly big ticket items. I have heard of kids having their hoverboards stolen too... Do you have your wheel tagged with a TILE or other device? http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2015-11-30/rare-electric-unicycle-stolen-by-man-who-pushed-woman-out-of-saddle/ Be careful riding out there...

Scully Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Love how they describe it as rare, then how there are only 30.... But don't tell you what it is!. I wonder if it's one of the Ninebot one P's?? lol. My second guess was the Uniwheel - but i'm not sure there are 3 of them in the UK, let alone 30.

VAT including shipping and insurance and can be delivered anywhere in the world. What's funny is that it's some generic model, and there can't be that much gold on it... Personally, if I had the money and need for such, I'd get a kilo-bar and a couple of better (normal) wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 @esaj OMG...I would not be caught dead on that gold EUC!. The EUCs are ostentatious enough without the reflective gold feature. Must be Donald Trump's EUC! @HunkaHunkaBurningLove Have a gun mounted on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 I bet a golden EUC would fit right in at places like Saudi Arabia, Dubai or Abu Dhabi where gold is like just another colour of paint: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/meet-saudi-billionaire-whose-mega-7658361 @Rehab1, you shooting at gophers that are blocking your path?

Rehab1 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 @HunkaHunkaBurningLove That is ridiculous! I would rather use the money to help out a family in need. So greedy! Yepper...gophers or anything that gets in my way. Blazing EUC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 This person sold a Zip Wheel in the UK around November 2015.

steve454 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 That looks the exact shade of gold on C3PO from Star Wars. Very interesting concept, already wondering what I could do with that color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not I am tempted to pimp my next wheel with diamonds. Not real diamonds, but the synthetic cubic zirconia which is as brilliant as a diamond but much more affordable. You can get 20 pcs 10mm stones for around $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 You need a plastic type spray (Krylon Fusion comes to mind) to adhere to the plastic shells of EUCs. Not sure Krylon carries Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Just doesn't seem too logical to steal an EU to sell. Not really a big demand for them in the general public and it would be really dodgy if someone tries to sell an EU as second hand without the charger included too.

Chav probably saw a bling and grabbed it without too much thinking. Later on when it ran out of battery it either ended up somewhere in the ditch or moron tried to plug it directly to mains and burned down the house Alternatively - lady crashed and demolished her precious EUC and was afraid to go back home to tell hubby / BF so she ditched it and blamed it on the "thief" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixtm.com Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I had a gotway msuper stolen. Now I have a kingsong 18 and I put a tile gps tracker inside so if it happens again hopefully I'll be able to track, recover and slap the thief and hopefully have enough battery life to ride off into the sunset.

tadrossi Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I live in the USA in a very crime ridden city. I rarely stop when people ask me to come here. And they do. Usually very rudely and loudly. Then when I ignore them I get called names because they're feelings are hurt. Catch 22. Its 1 of the main negatives of riding. I don't want to kill some one for trying to rob me for my euc. People are to dumb to know that they cant even ride it without training, And will definitely try you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
