Chuts Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Anyone recommend an easy way or product to carry your unicycle especially if you need to go into a large store / shopping area? My unicycle weighs 13.4kg and that pretty heavy to lug around with you. For the moment I use the learning belt as a make-shift shoulder strap but feels rather clumsy and impeeds my walking and digs into my skin.

Zeno Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Airwheel also produces a nice backpack. I haven't tried it but the design looks very practical. Check the pictures on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks, I think the backpack route is better for me. The trolly requires you to have the unicycle switched on when carting it around. To me battery power is a precious thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 People who have tried the backpack, (not me) have reported that it is awkward and uncomfortable so if you go that route I'll be interested in how you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 When you're not riding on it and the power is switched on it hardly uses any battery at all. Could probably leave it on for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^tom^ Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If I have a break during riding I never turn it off. How many ours you are in a shopping store? In outlets is usless anyway...you have to carry your stuff and park you car close by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Today I packed my unicycle in a camping backpack and secured it so that it wouldn't fall out/off. After about 30 minutes of walking around it was a killer on upper back and shoulders. Don't know if it was because it is not an official unicycle backpack but I have gone off the idea of carrying it this way. In my journey around the shops I did see something that I need to look into further. It is a backpack that you can wear as normal however it has an extendable handle in the middle of the back and wheels at the bottom. Thats right it doubles as a trolly. The reason why I need to look into it further and didn't buy the one I saw was because the zipper down the sides stopped at mid point and the bottom half of backpack was hard so this would mean the unicycle wouldn't actually be resting at the bottom. It didn't have any of those plastic clip fasteners either so wouldn't hold the unicycle in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shady Tools Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Does anybody have advice on carrying a Gotway 18"? I know Ikea bags would fit it in but I would prefer to have it on my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuts Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I actually bought a trolly handle for my wheel just to see what it would be like, as I was oppose to the idea earlier but so far it is the best solution. Really good too when cycle lanes become really busy on Saturday and Sundays here in Hong Kong as everyone and their dog goes cycling on the weekend. When you need to hop off for a few moments because the cycle lane is so congested especially right next to bicycle hire shops. The trolly handle works quite well too when the EU is turned off. One of my main worries about having to keep the unit on even when spending 30+ minutes in a shopping area. I would highly recommend this method, be aware though if you are going to go down this route that you check to see if your EU is compatible because a lot of EUs don't allow for it because of the shell design.
