Colestien Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Don't get frustrated if you don't find your click right away. I have seen it take weeks (me) and as fast as a couple lessons over 2 days(My Daughter). Just play and have fun! edit: Just thought of it.... How long did it take from the time you "pulled the trigger" and it was at your door? There is a thread here keeping track. Great info to have for the next Wheel purchase. I also thought about www.urban360.com . I like watching the map fill up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today first session in the park. I have found my barycentre and I was able to run several times for some hundred of meters without stop. some problems with little terrain bump and offroad terrain ( wet) I'm able to break and go down without problem . But the big problem is the START UP ..without an help at now I cant start a run But i'm patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villac Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi, @Berus, Congratulations on your happy start! Have lots of fun and be safe. It will be great if you post pictures or video of your progress. I am curious: do you plan on padding your EU with tape/foam? or will you use padding/protectors on your legs where they touch the EU? I have padded mine, but in retrospect, I think the padding is only necessary temporarily to 1) protect the EU from crashes and 2) make learning more comftorable with less pain on the inside of the lower legs. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berus Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 @Villac Hi Villac, thank you. Yesterday no crash I was on terrace. I haven't tape/foam but I wanted to try absolutely outdoor in the park ..mistake .. I don't thought that I was able to ride freely ..but instead it happen .. with several crash/fall for the EU (not for me ) . So a lot of scratch under the pedals and on the shell. Maybe something broken inside .. but it stil work ( I will write in the next days ..how it work). Tomorrow I will go to buy some protection ...

Villac Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 @BerusNo worries about scratches if it still goes! (I'm talking about EU and rider). One trick I have seen here (maybe it was Gimlet??) is to put a towel around the EU and secure it with a belt. It is nice temporary padding for EU and rider. Take care and have fun!

Berus Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello !! I'm very disappointed about my unicycle battery 2900maH . After first days of training on the terrace I have stressed the battery and see that quick discharge. In the second and third day of outdoor running, in a little oval circuit for rollerblade ..measured with smartphone gps ...4,6 Km before first alarm for lower battery ..5km at third alarm. The good news is that it don't have BMS shutdown, only beep and turn the pedals . .so its impossible to continue...0 speed but power on. The strange thing (I don't thought) then when rotate pedals ..all rotate ..pedals+shell ..it's normal ????. Another bad thing ..til for over 45° inclination left/right ..not work as well the auto restart function. Only tilting when the tire leave the ground : it accelerates and after 1-2 sec tilting. But my main problem is ..how to start running without a support (like a lamppost, handrail) ....suggestions ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardmech Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 To start you have to work out which leg is dominant and get use to moving around with that leg on the euc. Then I found I had to work on getting the other foot on with as little movement as possible so you don't upset balance. Where did you get that generic model from? Looks nice.

Thank you for your suggestions ! I will training for that problem in this week. Today as always 4km on circuit and after my first time riding in my city walkside bicycle path,sidewalks (3km)....thery nice . About this generic model there are two chinese brand that selling it "Tomoloo" and "CXM". you can buy at electricunicycleonline under tomoloo brand. However I have bought it from other commercial agent ..but same factory. About left right tilt auto restart functions finally, very quickly, they admit an error .. used an old mainboard model ...they will ship the most recent mainboard Very well ..but I still have the problem of the battery (I thought that they used an old battery ..I do not want to disassemble my one-wheel, for now .I will do with the new mainboard. I added some protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berus Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Very well ... one week later .. I'm able to step up without any support Thanks to the suggestion in this forum and I found this video very helpful After this, training complete, I decided to inflate my tire that was a little low ...and all things changed .. too hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castShadow Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 @Berus Congratulations! That is a nice looking wheel - I remember seeing it when researching before. I remember many different colors are shown but I'm sure you got one at a good price. that's nice of them to send you a board upgrade. Does that handle pull up a little? Also good job on learning how to mount! It seems impossible at first. Usually it helps a lot when you study how someone does it - and it's better in person so that you can actually believe what seems impossible is really possible.

Berus Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 @castShadow thank you ! that handle pull up and down ... in the last images is up .. but no more . ..and yes I will learn about mount (I have found a guide about demount) ..but I'm a little worried if I need calibrate ...how to do .. but i think that factory supplier will help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berus Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi, yesterday I had inflated the tire ..so today I made another test about battery. results : From 4,5/5 Km to 7/ 7,5 km something better I tried to run a little more slowly under 12km/h GPS track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardmech Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I got about 6km on my generic today with various hills and offroading. Seems like 7-8km is about normal for 170wh packs + average western adult male. Couldn't make it up a steep hill though, motor was too weak.

Colestien Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 @Berus looks like you are doing great and having fun. A little good news for you. You will still get better. After I had learned to ride, I had thought This is great I'm "there"! Looking back over months of riding I can tell you "there" keeps getting better. I have still been improving, without realizing it. I'm sure you will notice (as I had) You will do things that used to make you have to stop, or fall if you don't. There is a Brick road close to my house. (sorry not the Yellow brick one ) I would always have trouble every time I tried. I even avoided it. Now it is just a road, nothing to worry about.

Ok i'm more happy now with 7-8km ...5 was very bad. The factory said tested.. 10km...the two brands that selling this 15-20km ( I know is always half) 1 hour ago, Colestien said: @Berus looks like you are doing great and having fun.

Yes of course now I need to learn a lot of things , but I'm happy because I have learned the basics rules to run .. and it was more easy/quick that I could thought. Now that I have only inflated the tire , i have less confidence and it's more difficult run on brick road/offroad ,up/down sidewalk and others rough roads. Running for more than 1 hour was a bit tiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colestien Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 @Berus I wasn't meaning that as a negative. You are doing great! I was meaning all those things you think are hard now will become easier, and easier the longer you just ride. You have started the ball rolling down hill. Yap there are challenges along the way. If there wasn't I don't think it would be as much fun. Most of the learning I have done after learning the basics seem to just happen. Your on the road now, I think you will be surprised at how far your skill will increase along the way, "Seemingly" all by themselves. That is as long as you keep riding.

Berus Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 @Colestien Thank you ..I understand what you said ..but a review about your generic unicycle ..where is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsong-France Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 For a first wheel, First would like to say that is better to buy from a reseller around your place or in your country or continent. If you have a problem with your wheel when you import it from China directly, if you have any problem you will just have your eyes for crying. After between different wheel, you need to choose the one who is better for your environment (city, country side, what you will do, km you plan to do,...) Who to choose? city 14' is more manuable, country side 16' or 18' for long trip; if you plan to do 10km/day a small battery will be enough and you could also carry it on a plan. If you like to do tricks 14' is more easy to learn. Good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good day Maybe a good idea if you have a shop near your house...buy from them. However if you want a first wheel to understand if you can use it , if you like it ,you can choose to buy from directly from China at half price. My second reason to buy was understand how much cost import unicycles from China,how China factories working and the quality of a generic unicycle.

I now that sounds crazy. If I found out I couldn't ride, or I could ride but it hurt my feet to much, or just flat out I didn't like it. Then the Cheaper Wheel would have saved money. Being semi-retired I have time, and some money. But not $1500+ laying around. Real money will take time to get together. So this is the crazy part, I'm feel I should have bought a better Wheel to start. In the same breath if I would have bought a better wheel, It would have been a lot later before I could have started riding........ I believe I did a short generic review, lost in a Thread somewhere..... Sorry I'll see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berus Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 hi ! two week later my unicycle still run :D. This week less kilometer but training to go slow e running over rough sidewalk with a lot of holes very hard my step up to start running isn't still perfect But I have 2 stupid questions : - when the tire live the ground the wheel accelerate for 1 sec and after ...tilt .. is this a standard security function? - when the speed is more than 6 km (around) the pedals and shell inclination change from horizontal to inclined (back). Is this standard function ?? p.s. Only over 12km with alarm pedals increase inclination thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thats the overspeed shutoff. In the air the wheel accelerates until the max speed is readhed... 44 minutes ago, Berus said: - when the speed is more than 6 km (around) the pedals and shell inclination change from horizontal to inclined (back).
