Bosstin Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hi Folks, First post here, I've been learning to ride on a friend's Ninebot One over the last couple of months and just got an Inmotion V8 this week commuting to work has never been so fun! So currently it is propped up against a wall on a floor mat and keeps falling over so I'm just wondering how people store their wheels? I saw Rehab1 post up the following picture with what looks like a guitar stand, although the pic is tiny ? seems like it could be a winner. But what other methods or hacky/DIY solutions do people use for holders/docks? Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Hi! Yep, all the shops sell guitar stands for 40,- that are prooooobably a bit cheaper when sold as guitar stands You can get a 3D-printed one from our very own @EUC GUY store here: https://eucguy.com/euc-stands Edited May 13, 2018 by meepmeepmayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Here is another option, supposed to fit most EUC's, and is in Europe. https://www.electricunicycles.eu/electric_unicycle_kickstand_parking_stand-c__250 It does say that for an Inmotion V8 you will have to unfold the cover hooks.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) @Duf also has some sturdy looking 3D printed stands available. http://blog.duf.net/2018/04/04/simple-store-funny-footage/ Edited May 13, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Printed in PLA? Well, don't get one of those and leave ir out in the California sunshine, or your wheel will for certain fall off... Should have printed them in at least PETG IMO. Edited May 13, 2018 by ir_fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberal Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 This is the same model of stand i use for my InMotion V8 (although i bought it in the store of MobilityUrban.fr): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FCZKR2/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1AT7YVPFBWXBL I think it works great for the V8. You can see more pictures in this album, specifically the places where the EUC rests. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware, you must get the narrow version for KingSong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Looks like @EUC GUY, the designer of the stand, has out-sourced them to an off-shore production company. Does PLA melt that easily? I would think most riders wouldn't store their wheels in hot environments or direct sunlight as that's not good for battery life.

You can see more pictures in this album, specifically the places where the EUC rests. Wow, it's like it's made for it! Rubber top bit definitely needed. Annoying that the V8 has such a shiny finish. I see you've also covered the foot pads - I've just ordered some vinyl to cover mine as there are already a few scratches from when it wobbled out on me ? I've found a very similar one on UK amazon so I might give that a try while I check out those 3d printed designs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETG goes up to 75 degrees. Material price / kg is the same. All depends on how you use this. If it is to store it in your garage, then of course there is no problem. If you take one with you to park your EUC outside, then it could become one. That's all I wanted to say. The above print is done in PETG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tbx Nicolas Posted May 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2018 Made out of recycled wood, while vinyle and stainless steel sheet. The spacing is different, from left to right: 145mm; 150mm; 155mm; 155mm The 145mm allows to fit a Kingsong 14" if correctly centred, the other spots can fit ACMs, only the 155 can be used for MSuper3 but it's tight. I made it one year ago I think. However I might need to do another one given that I will have more wheels in the near future. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbx Nicolas Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have 1 ACM, soon 2 in two different continents until I go back to France. 2 of these ACM were friend's, I modified them to add LEDs red strips and other stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very hard if not impossible to do a good job at wrapping with vinyl if you want to cover the entire pedal. The borders always end up wrinkling up and ungluing no matter how much effort you put into stretching the vinyl correctly. It does help save it from scratches tho (if your vinyl is thick enough). The one i bought is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B3C5O9K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ir_fuel Posted May 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2018 PETG for the stands, ColorFabb nGen for the horizontal parts. There are some things I don't understand in the design (not in the least the gigantic hole sizes), but it does the job. I think it's possible to design a similar one in one piece, without bolts, but that would be a lot les efficient for shipping, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked good until I decided to take my v8 to a quarry yesterday and fell off a few times... Anyway the guitar stand works okay, I'd advise anyone else who might be getting one to look at how high up the bars are. This one is so low the wheel is actually still on the ground... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
