I kinda feel sorry for Solowheel. They needed Inmotion for US market and now Lenovo for China market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Looks like the Solowheel Iota Way too little ground clearance to be a serious means to go from A to B, for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It's a complete clone of the Iota. Question is, licensed or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 84W output power. That’s indeed a hair less we are used to by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I thought Lenovo was connected with IBM as a source for laptops and printers? Interesting. Maybe for a short in-airport commuting device with low enough wattage to be allowed on planes, this might fit the bill for some folks. Not everyone needs a full out 1600 wh 16” tire beast of a wheel 100% of the time. I could see this appealing to kids too who get tired walking long distances with mom and dad. Or even to Eddie to scoot through Home Depot stealthily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean eRide.ie Community Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Very good find.https://item.jd.com/8023428.html The video on the description is funny. There is two videos, both show children using it, but then there is pictures of young adults using it on the description. 281 EUR in China. Performs similar to a 100 EUR "no brand" electric unicycle, but it's easier to learn to use. Not much more advantage compared to a hoverboard, which are under 100 EUR in China. Good for light order picking on a warehouse as well. Or at huge factories, for people who need to move a lot around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there is some chance that they licensed the Solowheel Iota. Lenovo is a huge company with $400 billion income and $50 billion revenue this year and I doubt they would just reproduce a one-to-one copy of an existent product. The licensing fee is certainly peanuts for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a much more compact form factor. I also think because the two wheels are fixed on the same axis it is less prone to falls due to driver mistakes.
