GQuirky Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hi! I work at the invention platform Quirky! We've been inspired by the latest King Song's and Ninebots and so we launched an open invention challenge to find the next best idea for a rideable! There are some incredible ideas on this platform for features and functions for the future of the electric unicycle, and so I'd love to see you submit these to Quirky for a chance to see your idea become a real product and earn royalties FOREVER! All you need to do is submit your idea, and Quirky does the rest, manufacturing and distributing your product to major retailers like Best Buy. Quirky never charges, we are all about supporting inventors! Check out the competition, we'd LOVE to hear your best ideas for the next great electric unicycle!!

jameshouston135 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Are you talking about such a this kind of Electric Unicylce or any thing else..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Does this maybe belong in the General forums, @Keith @esaj @John Eucist ? It might get more views and ideas there? I wouldn't mind seeing a rear swiveling kickstand that can be bolted onto the shell of these EUCs so you move it down and rest the wheel on it. Maybe have a double U or H shaped metal frame with rubber feet on the one end. It could have a spring ball bearing locking retaining system to keep it in either position. It would also be nice to have it moulded so when up it just looks like a metal rear fender which blends closely with the shape of the shell. Existng Ninebot One stands are kind of ugly and stick out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 So the part he stated that "Quirky never charges" has some caveats. That's a bit quirky! Edit: I checked their FAQ, and it seems to state it's free? Where did you see the $100 thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I think after their bankruptcy, they may have changed things up a bit? https://quirky.com/faq/#toggle-id-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still think it is a commercial enterprise so belongs here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
