Elisson Campos Osorio Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Has your inmotion v8 already lost the gyroscope? I experienced in 2 times lost the gyro after get a bump... In first time I got it jump and only the v8 crash and in the second time I was speed up (30km/h) and I fell and broke my foot and the V8... Its very strange the reaction of the V8 when get a bumps... Friends told me that this occurs and that I should take care of with high speed.. Somebody else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biped Phil Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 In that regard, is the V8 different from other kinds of 16-inch unicycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It is not quite clear what "lost the gyroscope" is supposed to mean exactly. In general, going over bumps is a rather delicate riding skill which most people need to practice quite a bit before to master it at any speed.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I think the V8 is prone to these gyro issues when the wheel receives a sudden jolt. I think I experienced the same thing on my Tesla. It’s almost as if the gyro loses orientation and the wheel is trying to find it again by oscillating. I’d advise to go at lower speeds when traversing moderate bumps. Edited August 19, 2018 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
