  1. Good point. The price has been added, but for the artisanal ones the price is still adjusting between 160 and 220EUR from what i think, depending on the options, calculation of costs, and excluding transportation. You have to contact directly the creators in order to have a detailed price.
  2. Summary of the suspensions sliders propositions from what i understand: The 3D printed one (should be less robust than the CNC aluminium ones): https://www.printables.com/fr/model/268351-s22-3po-the-3d-printed-option-kingsong-s22-suspens the artisanal Russian (first ones with a CNC option). How to buy? difficult to get with the war, i would not try it. The Bulgarian shop MyEwheel (CNC with 4 wheels, 220€, made in larger quantities): How to buy? https://myewheel.com/s22-sliders-suspension-kit/ The artisanal Spanish ones (Guías CNC Aluminio, price around 200€, 6 wheels & dust protection): How to buy? https://t.me/cncs22 The artisanal French ones (David Schwartz, price around 200€, 6 wheels & dust protection): How to buy? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1876404869187267/permalink/2206426752851742/ In my opinion, the Spanish or French ones seems to be the more robust and complete system with CNC, 6 wheels and dust protection. I have not any financial interest in this post, i just want to summarize the current available options.
  3. I don't know, i am still working on my wheel, but it seems to protect well from the tire splashing dirt into it. I just copied the idea from here: https://www.espritroue.fr/topic/18129-la-kingsong-s22/?do=findComment&comment=352049
  4. I tried the QR code for you: it only repeats the code below in text.
  5. While putting 3D printed suspension and putting plastic sheet to limit dirt ingress, i noticed 2 additional stickers on the motor with 2 different dates it seems: - end june, as the date engraved on the motor (=date of manufacturing of the motor?) - beginning of september (=date of the modification of pinning the motor?)
  6. I don't know if the motor is pinned. I know that Kingsong is saying motor is secured since end June/July. It was air shipped from China to Paris, because my dealer did not bring enough S22 by boat to meet the orders. So I got a really recent batch.
  7. yes me, still old suspension system, i did not check inside the motor, assuming the manufacturing assembly check at October 6th should be enough
  8. Thanks for the feedback! So with good sliders, what would be the right coil in your opinion (and your weight?)
  9. There is also gyroriderz gloves (quite popular in France) https://www.gyroriderz.com/en/collections/equipements-gyroroues/products/gants-gyroriderz-avec-proteges-poignets-integres-2-0 Sold also by roll.nz: https://www.roll.nz/parts-accessories/63-259-gyroriderz-gloves.html#/112-size-large/140-colour_combination-red_and_black
  10. It really looks like Kingsong wanted to hide it under the carpet, if they really fix it since July. There was no communication about it. And I hope it is true, but my confidence in the company is eroding. After the battery debacle with the "smart" BMS only fixed by software (cheaper), the sliders which need a do it yourself solution, this hidden motor issue fixed by ...more glue?...it is a lot to accept and believe on a 1 wheel device.
  11. Manufacturers really need to step up their game in safety, we are at risk of fire and being banned. Article below: Some electric unicycles may be unsafe due to the risk of fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned. The federal agency is urging owners of the King Song electric unicycle model number KS-16S to get rid of them at a recycling or household hazardous waste drop-off site. The CPSC knows of one fire related to the unicycles that resulted in smoke inhalation injuries to two people and substantial property damage to a commercial building, it said on Tuesday. CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using King Song Electric Unicycles Due to Fire Hazard; Fire and Injuries Reported: https://t.co/pBTGcUWLdR pic.twitter.com/v4DSaboBFb — US Consumer Product Safety Commission (@USCPSC) July 12, 2022 The agency tested the product and determined the battery pack can overheat and catch fire. Made by King Song Intell Co. of China, the unicycles are imported and sold by companies including EWheels of Miami Beach, Florida, according to the federal safety agency. King Song and EWheels have refused to recall the product, the CPSC said. The potentially dangerous unicycles have "King Song" printed on their pedals, and come in white, silver, matte black or black. Each has a black tire and multi-colored lights that light up when in use. The serial number of the affected unicycles begins with "KS16S." The unicycles are currently being sold for between $1,200 and $1,350 online at www.ewheels.com and other retailers. While the word "unicycle" likely conjures images of a funny-looking contraption ridden by a clown or someone in a top hat, the battery-powered version looks more high tech, and goes further and faster.

  12. Maybe you can try this: https://www.gyroriderz.com/products/gants-gyroriderz-avec-proteges-poignets-integres-2-0?lang=en&variant=31578219937846
  13. Software issue only? Seems like it is convenient for KingSong that the issue seems very easy and cost efficient to fix... I am not an engineer, but it sounds quite fishy...according to reviewers the hardware also needs security upgrade.
  14. Thanks, but i am not confortable with Gotway/begode unicycles due to quality issue, so i wont recommand it to my friend. We'll try something else.
  15. Thanks @NY uni, for the proposal. For information, what euc do you have, in which state (new or second hand), at at what price?
