Title changed and moved.

Oh no @travsformation

You can't do that. However the wheel is oriented during calibration, that is what is considered level in all directions (in certain limitations, laying the wheel on its side will likely not work at all). Additionally, it is very important to have no sideways lean during calibration. Otherwise you will get pedal dipping or raising in curves. If you get that after the calibration, you must recalibrate with the wheel being upright (no left/right lean). Make sure the wheel is not leaning left or right, with the pedal angle as you want it, and the wheel being still during the entire calibration process. (Just lean it against a wall as upright as possible and adjust the desired pedal angle, then calibrate, and don't touch it before the calibration is 110% over.)

You need to calibrate your wheel with the pedals slightly angled back. This will be its new normal then. There is no separate setting to adjust the pedal angle a few degrees back or forth independent of a calibration, unfortunately.

I think this is like the "miles per gallon" vs. "liter per 100km/gallons per 100 miles" discussion. Depending on what you are looking at, the one or the other makes more sense comparing different wheels. https://www.google.com/search?q=miles+per+gallon+vs+gallons+per+mile You cannot expect to "normalize" the values though where something never crosses 1.0. That would mean some nonlinear measurement, which is not a good idea.

Nice idea! I got curious about the Nikola: 2100Wh 84V $2450 0.86 1800Wh 100V $2300 0.78 1845Wh 100V $2450 0.75 2664Wh 100V (1rad mod, not official, but I love this thing) 2749€ = $3050 0.87 (Prices from ewheels, and using advertised battery capacity instead of real capacity)

Someone did the math on this once (balancing currents vs. voltage differences or something like this). It was longer than expected. Maybe @Chriull was that guy?

"Getting started" might be a good option if we ever want to have a forum dedicated to making this site friendlier to (prospective) new members (or just for new riders). Whether or not such a forum is good is another question (see @Espen R above), but I just thought of this name and wanted to throw it into the ring.

What firmware version do you have?

@Mono Why do you care? We mods finally decided to remove one single problem member. I don't want to be rude, but am not going to repeat all the mod discussions we had to have about Aneta (a lot), even if you are curious (I fully understand and I don't blame you). Enough time has been wasted on this instead of spending it with electric unicycles. I have to ask you to trust us. We are not stupid or unprofessional. This means nothing to you or anyone else in broader terms (in the sense that you could read anything out of it). Best to forget about it. Not sure what else to say

We can always start with one new forum and go from there. Personally, I would also like a "Making Videos" forum where all the camera and Youtuber discussion can go. I would like this to be a sub-subforum (visually), not sure (yet) if this is supported here.

Again: this is a singular special case. This does not concern anybody else. Do not read anything from this. Post, discuss, argue, enjoy!

The ban was not related to that. Even though there is no doubt that this crazy person is Chris. The ban was not because of one topic. That was just when we decided it was too much. We only banned the one account, nothing more. Even the old chrisjunlee account is still there, we only gave him a few weeks timeout back then. All this is based on the assumption that this is just a normal unruly forum user that needs to be told to behave. In that case, you would be right. But this is not the case here. This is why we went with a ban right away. Aneta is currently doxxing (or attempting to) mods and other users from here on the electric unicycle subreddit. Completely sane reaction, right? And this ban is still just all based on public information related to the Aneta account. There is more info that we mods have, and of course we know that it is chrisjunlee. If we ever needed proof of that (it was clear about 3 Aneta posts in), the eeriely similar remorseless reaction back than and now by Aneta makes that clear. No. We can babysit one problem guy and then deal with everyone who got baited into a reaction by the problem guy starting it, forever. Or we can remove the one problem guy. Why should an entire community be held hostage by a single person? And again, not a normal user that we can reason with. This is not the case here.

Sorry, by subforum I just mean a forum like "General Discussion". I'm not sure if the entire site is "a forum" or "a bunch of foums". Subforum = forum.

Yep. But before something is done, we must know what exactly that is Just a single new "Videos" subforum? A new Video section containing a "Videos" subforum and a "Making Videos" subforum, for example (and other new video subforums)? Give us concrete ideas what you would like. We mods will pick the best one.

Do you have any concrete info on that? Type of mosfets and casing? Etc? The photos show ~50% bigger capacitors, but that alone means not much I think.

Not to disappoint you, but realistically you won't be able to take it on a plane anyways (at least without a ton of preparation and some luckily aligned stars). The 2x160Wh is just the maximum an airline may allow. Most of them will refuse to even carry a ridable without any batteries. Info can be found here, in a thread split off from this one funnily enough: I like your mod idea, though. Maybe you can just do it for fun. Would be interesting to see how you do it.

Forum structure template for copy+paste. Maybe just add and play around how you would like it.

I think there might be confusion about terms here? topic = thread = a single topic like "The Video Thread" forum = subforum = a new forum like "General Discussion" section = area = a bunch of forums like "BRAND-SPECIFIC FORUMS (EUC ONLY)"

Good point. Maybe it's too much.

We can also make entirely new site sections (idea credit goes to @Unventor). Maybe a "New Rider Area". What forums would you like there? "Learning to ride"? "What wheel to get?"? Others? And a separate new forum for "Advanced Riding Skills and Tricks"?

I don't see the point of mixing gear into it. We have a perfectly fine separate Gear subforum. It is 100% clear what belongs and doesn't belong there, and where to find gear information if you need it. We shouldn't destroy this conceptual success story. "New Riders" is an assortment of all kinds of things, so there will always be overlap or confusion. But it would be directly to the benefit of new riders, which people here agree would be very inviting and helpful. "Learning to Ride and Riding Skills" is a bit more specific. Maybe it would be better if people, instead of making "their" own topic from wheel choice to learning and gear, they separate these things for a better overview later. This might help then. Not sure what is better, or if there is a better third option. Again, what do we want in the first place?

The point of the explanation above is: if you are a "normal" member of this forum, you will never have to worry about doing something "wrong". Just be nice and post and enjoy and spend your thoughts on electric unicycles. Which is exactly the point of this forum. Which was disrupted by Aneta. Not at all limited to when people called him out on it, more like nearly every post. Disruptive (from a dictionary): "causing trouble and therefore stopping something from continuing as usual". Which is as good a description of the problem as I can give. Anyways, please let's not further talk about this. This is like the second ban ever which wasn't just the usual fake passport/fake money/fake medicine/... spammer. It means nothing much in the end.

You guys have nothing to worry about. This forum is for discussing electric unicycles. That is its purpose. We want it to be a place that is welcoming and inviting to prospective and fresh new members, and enjoyable for existing members. More happy members posting = better for everyone. And if anything is counter to that, the mods have to do something. Aneta was banned because the account was too disruptive to a healthy forum culture here. Every time people stopped talking about EUCs and started arguing with "her" attention-bait. We do not want someone to google "electric unicycle", find this forum, and then be put off from participating by (perceived) bickering and negativity and infighting instead of a healthy discussion. We do not want existing members be put off from participating here. (Alias or not hardly matters because an alias could very well still be a great poster and beneficial to a good forum culture, so who cares.) Post what you want to post. Don't hold back. Do not self-censor. Don't even think about it. Enjoy, discuss, argue, fight (no personal insults of course), do whatever you want. As long as you do it because you care and want to talk about electric unicycles, hard to imagine how it could be a problem We merely can't allow people to abuse this forum for purposes that are counter to discussing electric unicycles in good faith and in an enjoyable manner. All the rules and mod actions are just for the bad actors. Don't worry about them. Aneta was a singular special case where a ban right away was the least worst option. Everyone else would just get a short, consequence-free warning. - Please do not engage (or even publicly mention) the Aneta person inside or outside this forum. Let this be over. In general, if you feel there might be a problem with any person or post, please use the report function to alert the staff. This is extremely helpful to the staff, it alerts us to potential problems and gives support if a mod has already noted that problem.

What do you know, I'm not the only one here wasting time with his videos Big part of what he does is explaining what he is going to do (shortly and without wasting anyone's time), and then showing it. The finer editing details are lost on me, though, I can't explain what he does there. But I think it comes down to that he takes care to show every step sufficiently and not omit anything (which would make the viewer lose interest). Systematic buildup I guess. With complete information.
