The Fat Unicyclist Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 4 hours ago, MaxLinux said: Probably so, since even though this is the steepest, longest hill I know of in my area, I doubt it equals SF hills. But when I felt how hard I would have to lean, and seeing how long the wheel would have to sustain this load, I decided to be content with slalom. This was a victory in itself, since for 2 months I was afraid to even try slaloming this hill! As I live (reasonably) close to Baldwin Street (the steepest street in the world), if all of the manufacturers send me one of each of their wheels I would be more than happy to test them on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if you've mentioned this already, but have you tested any EUCs there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music sucks, but this looks like an MSuper with part of the shell cut off. Not sure if I'm missing a joke here, but it's the new Ninebot One Z. Also discussion here, and 2 new Gotway models can be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Not my video. Some Russians (?) comparing Solowheel and generics and think the Solowheel is the best. Nicely made otherwise. Starts like this: This wheel looks like a generic... Oh wait it's a Solowheel Classic Solowheel wipes out/overleans on normal braking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait it's a Solowheel Classic Solowheel wipes out/overleans on normal braking. At about 9:30 they test the speed of the three wheels, and there is a pretty good view of an overspeed cutout on the IPS at about 14kmh.
