  1. Do you bend you knees slightly when riding or have perfectly straight legs (like standing on the floor)? Bending helps a lot with absorbing the bumps but feels exhausting and unnatural, though hitting any unexpected bumps while standing still feels like someone is pulling a rug from under me (my tire pressure is probably too high as well). So not sure should I start getting used to riding with slightly bent knees or play with my tire pressure?
  2. After reinstalling the app and doing a hard restart on my ipad it started working again, phew. Yeah maybe it was a login issue, after reinstalling the app it prompted me to login again (not sure how to trigger relogin without reinstalling the app). Thank you!
  3. My Kingsong app for IOS doesn't let me access speed settings at all for 18XL. When I press the speed settings menu it briefly shows a loading spinner and then it disappears and nothing happens. I thought maybe this is because I don't have enough miles on it but I already drove 230km and still the same. It used to let me access the settings just fine and I had the limit at around 25mph but it got reset out of a sudden, the speed limit is now set to 20km/h (12mph) and I can't do anything about it. Is there a factory reset for the wheel that I can try?
  4. Any tips for smooth mounting? This is my biggest problem for now - how to do effortless mounting in a straight line especially uphill, it gets really stressful when you are next to cars and you start jumping on it up and down and wobbling all around. At first I was keeping the center of mass behind the wheel and was sort of jumping behind it and pushing it forward as if didn't have any motor, which was a mistake, it required a lot of effort (the motor probably was working against me even) and mounting uphill was a real challenge. Then I switched to tilting the pedal forward first with the resting foot to make it start accelerating on its own and pull me instead, the center of mass is now above the wheel so I am pretty much standing (jumping) straight or even a little tilted forward while mounting. This made it much easier and requires much less effort, but I am still missing something I feel. Do you bend your leg that's standing on the pedal to be sort of in half-crouching position while mounting, or just keep it straight right off the bat? I feel like half-crouching could improve the smoothness as you don't need to jump on it as hard and you don't need to tilt the wheel to the side as much, instead you sort of raise the other leg and then stand up, if that makes sense. The only problem is when you half-crouching it's hard to do good solid pushes with the other leg.
  5. In the speed settings of the iOS app there is some toggle in the top right corner that is not translated to English, what does it do? Also as I understand each of 3 speed limit alarms is supposed to be beeping (on 18XL)? Mine only announces "please decelerate" without beeping, is this the speed limit alarm or it's a tilt back warning? Also I have an older Android phone and the kingsong app cannot even launch on it, while WheelLog doesn't see the wheel via bluetooth. Is it just the phone or maybe there is something I can do to fix it. Thanks.
  6. I live in San Diego area where most major streets within the city have 40-55 mph limits but they also almost always have bike lanes. Can I ride a unicycle on such roads (staying in bicycle lanes if needed)? I am seeing different opinions stating that it is either not legal, legal but only if your motor is under X kW, legal but only if speed limit is under X mph, etc. Can someone please give a clear answer - am I allowed to ride on a road with 40+ mph limit and a bike lane? If not, what sort of public roads are legal to ride on, if any? I want to be sure I would be able to commute to work before pulling the trigger. Thank you.
