Cloud Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 We all know when a car odometer hits 200k or so, it may be time to start looking around for a new one.There is probably no such data available in the unicycle world as of yet but does anyone have an idea how long unicycles are projected to live? And what part will go first? I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisycarlos Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 All I know for sure is that in the Ninebot rankings, the top guy currently has almost 3500 miles on his NB one C.The 2nd to 12th placeplace have between 2000-2500 on theirs.

Cloud Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ha! Interesting. I got my kingsong about 6 weeks ago and i am estimating to have done about 500 miles so far. I sure hope it will last more than 3500 miles (10 months)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The batteries obviously have a limited life but it's very dependant on how they are treated and also time dependant.The control boards seem to be the weak point at the moment with most faults developing from components overheating and burning out.The motors are fairly bomb proof it seems with only the wheel bearings being actual wearing parts but I suppose if it is overheated often then the insulation in the copper coils could break down. There have been a few cases of hall sensors in motors failing or even coming loose.Generally if you have a good supplier that is willing to supply spare parts then you can keep your wheel going almost indefinately but with the improvements that are coming from most manufacturers now you will probably want to upgrade soon than later.

zlymex Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I bought a MSuper MS three and half months ago and rode 3900km since. It shows only minor wearing on the tire and no noticeable degradation on battery. I'm hoping that it can be last for 2 to 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisxr2 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 If your in the Eu and buy on a credit card, that's a two year warranty so at least two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
