Never believe the advertised range - that's for 50-70 kg people just driving slow on flat terrain... ;( So more realistic than the sdvertised 25-30km for the S2 are ~15km, with your weight and some hills even less.

Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Thank you for you reply. generall i want the unicycle for around 8-10 km .in my job i can recharge it after this and do the same for back .about the hills nothing special .maybe from 10km ride the hills are 1km but not so sharp.

RockyTop Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The KingSong16s is the best EUC for the money. In your post you are not asking for much. I do not like the InMotion V8 but it does fit your needs. It is weak and does not handle heavy aggressive riders well but it will get you 10km. It would be more fun than walking. 44 minutes ago, Jimmy Charalampidis said: nothing special I would get the best KingSong that your budget allows. 14d, 14s, 16s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 what do you mean about weak and doesnt handle heavy riders .which model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I bought the Segway S1 for $300 about 6 months ago and have ridden over 200 miles on it. These might be very high quality miles as I learned backwards, hops, drops, and rough pavement/dirt. I weight about 100kg, much more when I'm carrying stuff which I usually am. To answer your question about handling heavy riders, no, the S1 does not safely handle 100 kg riders. When you hit an upward bump at greater than 10 mph, the pedals dip forward; the wheel does not have enough peak to handle that bump. However, the S1 is easily my most used wheel if we count trips, as I use the S1 in a very utilitarian manner (minus tricks of course) as I keep the speed below 8 mph. For a 100 kg rider, the range is really bad, with about 1.5 hours of usage. Unlike most other wheels, wind resistance isn't a factor so you cannot extend the range by going slower. Can you afford the MCM5? If I had money then that'd probably my wheel, perhaps even my only wheel (I'm partial to 14 inchers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasenutty Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 At 2 cm I worry that any wheel will be too tall for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( i saw the segway ninebot one s2 that i like it . whats your opinion about this model ? ) you might want to correct your height. i'm assuming you mean 2m. I think for the money, you should get the King Song 14D. That is in your price range, the Segway S2 is too slow and not worth getting as a starter wheel. You want something to grow into unless you have unlimited funds and start buying and getting into this hobby. then you might want a Segway C+ or E+ instead of the S2. S2 has no padding on the side and it will be difficult for a starter to learn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 How about this used Kingsong KS16S? A much stronger + bigger battery wheel than what you'd get for the price when you buy new, and good price ( it's >1500€ new). Not sure how good a V5F is for a 100kg rider. Maybe it works? https://www.speedyfeet.co.uk/collections/electric-unicycle/products/inmotion-v5f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Look i try to find all the specs about each uni and i decide that those are good for me .tell me which model do you suggest for me and why please . ONE E+ ONE C+ ONE S2 V10 16S ACMv2 Those are good for my weight and i like them . (i am 2 meters yes . sorry for my mistake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The only two wheels I see in your list are the KS 16s and ACMv2. ACMv2 would be a good wheel but I would choose the KS16s 16s Durable, Load capacity ,DUrable, powerful, DURABLE, time proven , DURABLE!!! Great learning wheel. It is like a Bumper car version of the Porsche 911. (Sadly without overdrive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyTop Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The Tesla is great!! Not the best beginner wheel. I am a GotWay fan boy but you would not guess that because I always recommend the KS16s. I learned on the KS16s. The wheel was abused and bounced off and slid against everything. Then I moved up the the MSuper. I had it leaned against a truck tire and it tipped over. It got damaged more tipping over than my KS did in two months with two people learning to ride on it. GotWay wheels are AWSOME!! But not the best to learn on. ( although with lots of padding and being very careful it can be done.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your recommendation, here is my opinion with a little future outlook... I think the 14S if it is affordable at the moment... The D which I have and learned on is great but lacking in range and big dropoff in speed at 50%. If in the future you want another wheel you can consider the Tesla which I just got. If you get the 16S now which I have also and find it lacking a bit in speed and range down the road which I did, then get a Tesla as an example, you will have 2 similar 16" wheels... My way you will have a great 14" wheel to learn on and a great 16" if the Tesla is in your future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an EUC enthusiast I like to share the addiction but as a GotWay fan boy you are not going to “see what it is like” on my GotWay. I keep the KS16s as a wheel that others can learn on.

I learned on this wheel and I have ridden 190 km total. It is and absolute top quality wheel. It rides very well and I am already taking it on long rides and only missis more capacity. I have taken my first fall at 30 km/h and the wheel only got a small scratch and was totally fine ( me, not so much?). I can only recommend the Kingsong 14s.

Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ok but i said that i am 100kg .and the limits for 14s is 100kg so it is not for me this wheel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my 16S... I just got back from an 11 mile ride... the ACM is a great choice also... it has a much longer range than my 16S... I think the KS is a little more "sporty" in the ride... I have not ridden an ACM but I did ride a super(18") and I think they are similar... wider stance... money wise, at ewheels.com, there is a $288 difference in cost, the ACM is more, the battery difference is 840wh/1600wh...it is available with a 1300 battery but not from Jason at the moment so I do not know the cost difference...

Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Can someone suggest me used wheels 14s or 16s ? Because 1600 euros its too much .and if the wheel is good without scratches and good engine i can buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 At the moment, the used 16S from the other thread is by far your best option for your price range. Seller is a forum member and the wheel's history is known, it was bought from a reputable EU dealer and still has the remaining warranty, and 900€ for a 16S with 840Wh is a good price. It's a powerful and modern wheel, and if you had asked what wheel to buy for a big rider like you without any price limits, people would have recommended a strong wheel (>1000W motor, big battery, good quality) like the 16S anyways. You could wait for another good used deal to come up, but in Europe, these seem are quite rare. But maybe you find one. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Charalampidis Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 yes but i can find it 1400 euros new .and this wheel is 1 year almost used and 900 euros i believe is too much . i will wait more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
