  1. V11 was a great wheel, and I rode the heck out of it. its more ergonomically comfortable, head light is great, I feel like its about 90% of an EUC that anyone would need. I am not sure if I feel the same for the Falcon, it is cheaper and more compact, however its also slower and less stable. if I had to pick one I'll go with the V11Y also.

    Inmotion E20

    well, I am going to come clean and say that I might have been responsible for this uhh wheel. I had the chance to speak to Bob 2 years ago when he was still the CEO of inmotion, and he had asked for suggestions and this double wheel configuration was what I brought up. Now I did say that ideally I really want a tilting two wheels design with independent suspensions, which would allow a similar EUC ride feel while still allowing the possibility of locking them so that someone who's new would have an easier time learning. This is a terribly complex challenge and I had only seem it in advance robotic labs, but I honestly think would be an interesting leap for EUC. But short of that I also think the static 2 wheels configuration in a low power/ low speed model is still a great idea because it solve 2 major problems with growing the EUC market; the steep learning curve and high price. If the E20 and deliver on the promise of being cheap enough (sub $500 in my mind) and actually be easy for anyone to jump on and ride. Then I think its appeal as a "fun toy" could potentially have a much larger mass appeal than $3-4k beast wheels that seems to take up a large chunk of the market right now. I'll probably make a review in a few weeks if I manage to get a hold of a demo!
  3. Just my luck that I am leaving the country for Taiwan at the end of this week and will miss all the initial excitement!!
  4. maybe just tie down to the rear seat? Here's how I carried 3 EUC on my bike, there's also a Mten4 in the top box =)
  5. Here's a small Easter egg, hold down the lift cutoff button while hitting power botton to turn the ring light on and off.
  6. oh god @houseofjob you should be making videos and stickers instead of writing volumes on EUC pricing structure arguing for some dead metrics that nobody cares about.. LOL Also as much as you want it to, that's not how pricing structure works, people offering goods and services can simply charge as high of a price as market will bear. And unfortunately electric unicycle is getting gentrified just like your favorite hidden gem artist neighborhood and the new hobbyist with money are moving in and pricing the old school euc riders out! oh, and there's also that 25% import tariff that didn't exist before; either the expectation are that the dealer eat a 25% hit on their already slim profit margin, or the price is simply what it is.
  7. Exactly! Just because the master is capable of hitting 55 doesn't mean I would feel comfortable doing it. my monster had save my rear end countless time with its added stability and I have been waiting for a long time for a 22" wheel that have the grunt to let me cruise at 45+ and looks like both the V13 and the Master Pro would be it!
  8. You don't need a special mode, i push my monster up stairs all the time, that is one of the advantage of a larger diameter wheel.
  9. This absolutely sucks! But I have to say that more than just a business, what @Jason McNeil built over all these years was trust. It was this trust that got me into this wonderful hobby, since I would never contemplated sending a large sums of money to some random Chinese vendor for a thing that I have only seen in picture. And I see that same trust bridge the gap between the high performance bleeding edge machines we all want, and the inevitable problems that rises when aspiration outpace capabilities on the part of the EUC companies. This trust help built Veteran and prove that performance and quality can coexist. And its because of this trust that I am sure that Jason will make the right choices in the end.
  10. Just happen to be reading some old threads for ideas and wow, its 5 years later and except for the first suggestion, gotway is still having trouble with the rest. Oh Gotway...
  11. My plan to completely sap you of any enthusiasm so you'll sell it to me for cheap is apparently working.. *evil laugh*
  12. Well may be it comes from what I am used to in my own line of work; but when it comes to life safety related product any false claim is super dangerous since there're a high likely hood for people to get hurt when something fail. Sure It'll be great if EUCs are build to a higher standard but its primary purpose isn't really for safety so maybe that's why I think of it as being in a different category? Thank you! well I am not quite sure about the "successful" part and I wouldn't say I am happy with my current setup either. I did buy two bags of that Cellblock EX stuff and am still trying to figure out how to come up with a setup that works. I did think about talking about it in my video but figure it would be so incredibly boring that I best just limited to talking about it here. =D
  13. If your product was specified for used as part of telecom closet installation; I imagine there must had been tests conducted by an OSHA approved laboratory. or even better UL certificates showing that it is in conformance to fire suppression standard. Again based on experience any product associated with life safety usually have these documentation available on their website since its the first thing any specifier would look for. If you do please share it here so we can all see exactly what are the parameter the tests had been conducted. I can't emphasize enough the importance of having these tests conducted by approved labs as they act a neutral party with enough experience so as to create the proper controlled testing environment. Any private none certified tests are suspect and I would be very leery of any product especially when it comes to life safety.
  14. Sure, that will be ideal, but at least they have some documentation vs this sticker thing which seems to just have some home brew test that they rig up them selves.
