Guest Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've been searching the web and I was wondering, what's a good backpack for the ninebot one e+. I know when I ride around shopping malls, it would be easier for me to simply put it in a backpack and walk in If I wanted. I found a few on the web so if anyone has one, could you tell me something about it. Can anyone make suggestions for another. I personally like the second link better. But it cost too much http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012IAHJBW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1443987179&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=unicycle+backpack&dpPl=1&dpID=41mAJKGWkkL&ref=plSrchhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015OSU3P4/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1443987439&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=ninebot+backpack&dpPl=1&dpID=31HF7Y1ogdL&ref=plSrchhttp://m.aliexpress.com/item/32369257026.html?plac=&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnMOwBRCAhp-ysqCwypkBEiQAeSy1-WZgS_kd4NauY_vCIEgToBWYT_RGZiXwD-IPRB-juHAaAuLG8P8HAQ&albag=14156630185&netw=&albcp=206814265&isdl=y&productSubject=Free-shipping-Electric-Unicycle-backpack-electric-smart-scooter-backpack-skates-roller-skates-in-adult-men-and&productSubject=Free-shipping-Electric-Unicycle-backpack-electric-smart-scooter-backpack-skates-roller-skates-in-adult-men-and&src=google&mtctp=&trgt=68844154335¤cyType=USD&adminSeq=202421493&productId=32369257026&productId=32369257026&productId=32369257026&crea=en32369257026&shopNumber=519045&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&albch=shopping&slnk=&device=m&acnt=708-803-3821&tracelog=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I gave up on backpacks.. saw the same 2 months ago. The how we roll one seems to be specifically made for ninebots, but it costs too much I think.I'd recommend getting a trolley handle for that money instead.

Guest Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Did you give up because the unicycle was too heavy? I can only imagine how weight it'll put on your back and shoulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 No, because I have a backpack with laptop and other office essentials as well as the charger, my lights laptop charger and all that wouldnt fit in any of these EUC capable bags. Next I read some reviews on those "DC" backpacks and they were mediocre quality. So i held back on further looking and wait until something new comes out in half a year or so.Hope that didnt discourage you. If you find something interesting, I'd be glad to read about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James C. Smith Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I decided to splurge and get the "Wheel Backpack" from How We Roll. $125 with free shipping. I'll let you know if it was worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme_michael Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I've also seen that backpack, and would be very interested to know if it's all it's cracked up to be, so please keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Would you ever consider just locking the Ninebot to a bike rack with a really good lock and chain? Is there a power button disable mode so people can't mess with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 There is no secure place on the ninebot one to put on a lock. Nothing that can't be easily undone. It does have a lock mode on the app, when turned on the ninebot will shake and start making loud beeping noises if touched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktiga Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm just using a North Face duffel bag as I gave up on finding a "real" bag for my ninebot one. I also have room for other stuff in it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I got the first backpack you linked for my generic EUC (it also seems to be the most common design with variations sold everywhere). The 14" EUC fits in nicely, the front pouch is more like a harness for it and the backpack compartment behind it is huge and offers loads of room for other items.I gave mine a true test by packing it full for a long stay, along with my EUC in the harness, charger and spare battery. I truly looked like a pack horse and had to be careful not to smash everything with it, but it made the train journey through 2 cities easier. However, the weight of just the EUC on my back is almost unbearable after longer than 30 mins walking, so I think the backpack is reserved for cases where it isn't appropriate to be carrying or wheeling, as a result I still use the trolley handle for moving it long distances.

Chrisxr2 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I use my old air force backpack for my Solowheel xtreme, gets very heavy after about twenty minutes though, even with the straps done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csmyers Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can't imagine the unicycle backpack getting too heavy. I've carried mine by hand, switching hands every few minutes for 20-30mins at the most and it was only mildly uncomfortable. Although once the battery died and I had to walk for about 50 mins to get back home, now that was a workout. I would think that wearing it on your back would be like wearing a normally loaded backpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday went to a shop, up the ramp for the physically challenged, pushed the door open en rode in the store to where the stuffs is what I needed, without stepping off the wheel. I didn't think about it, I just did it because I start to have a level of control where it becomes sort of unconscious.The shopping mgr. asked me not to break antything....

I was waiting in line the first time, can't really balance in one place for all that long. The second time I couldn't really help it, now I watch the battery much more closely! Also, I try not to ride indoors, I don't want to risk anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have a variation of the first pack, but it's the AirWheel one. Used it once with my TG F3 Uni. It's well made and will fit the E+ nicely, but for me it's simply too heavy. The E+ is a beast to carry around. I've already ordered the Trolley Handle.

I do a lot of film work and spend a lot of time moving around London on tubes and busses at random hours; sitting in random locations for hours and leaving my bag unattended (although safe). For this I figure a wheel backpack is a MUST. Especially when hoping on and off night busses in shady areas. And what about stopping somewhere - at a cafe for example. Maybe I'm being paranoid but I personally wouldn't want to constantly advertise what I'm carrying. All that said, I don't have my wheel yet; expecting a Ninebot delivery in a week, but I'm used to carrying 14+ kilos on my back and hopeful that the only challenge will be the dimensions of the wheel and not the weight. So I figure the wheel will eliminate a good chunk of public transport, but not all. So I want a discrete bag. Not one of these weird, colourful ones with massive logos all over it, some of which even leave parts exposed. I really like the 'How we roll' one. Although that seems a little overpriced.. Thanks for the info. Couple of good options here, but need more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Corsi Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If I was going to get a backpack I would get one of these https://howweroll.squarespace.com/bags Specifically this one looks like the best one to me https://howweroll.squarespace.com/bags/how-we-roll-lite-wheel-bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Ace Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I would love one of those but the bag would be 264 USD total when shipping to the UK. That's 174 GBP. Plus it would be nice to see another compartment or ideally some molle webbing on the front.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a customized look to it and from the price, it is completely custom. I considered this one but at the end of the day, I went with the larger more generic one. I needed storage in the bag as well. I wanted to be able to transport a charger and other misc items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 @Jimmy Ace thats the same reason why I'd never use a branded Laptop bag, because everybody knows theres a 1000$ device in it to steal. But I guess for the next few years you can leave your bot visible, since most of the people that didnt see it in action, will think its a roomba. And if they really want to steal it, you'll have fun watching them faceplant while they try to ride it or carry the 14kg as fast as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Ace Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 @Jag_Rip hehe. Yes, that's what I thought. Just dropped £900 on this puppy. My worry is that I get targeted and someone just takes the bag off me. They won't have to even ride it then. My other worry is inquisitive people that know I'm out the room for a few hours and may feel the need to have a play, not actually steel it. That way an unbranded, black backpack draws no extra attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag_Rip Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hmm.. the inquisitive people still will know where you have your bot stored and if they can go into your room to look for it they'll just open the bags that look round enough, TBH. And stealing the bot with backpack is indeed a lot easier then without. So that actually works against your worry. I think for your scenario the Trolley-Handle would help the most, since you can plug in the handle when you need to use it, when you park the bot you can chain it to the part that is screwed to the bot after you slide out the handle. Sure with enough criminal energy they'll still be able to take it, but at least it was locked and they had to break something to get it.

Jimmy Ace Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah, I feel it's a balance. My worries aren’t in reality that strong - I don't plan on leaving it anywhere I'd actually have to chain it down - but I like to imagine worst case. I still think my experience would be greatly improved with a bag, since a lot of the time I will be sat next to it. I might change my tune once I start riding, but the thought of attaching a trolley handle seems wrong. I like to have my hands free at all times. I want it either between my legs or out of sight. Something my ex would often say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
