iEatRice Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Got this guy's comment on my instagram and apparently he is a unicycle rider. don't know much about regular unicycles but I know some skateboarders look down to electric skateboards. As an EUC enthusiastic I felt a little offendedThis kind of guy's mindset is like EUC riders are not capable of riding regular unicycles and EUC is the only optionThe mosaic is for privacy purpose.

RetroThruster Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Doesn't surprise me. I know when I ride my e-assist mountain bike I get the stink eye from the regular bikers, these guys just don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He's trolling, but who cares? After all, the "real thing" (AKA unicycles) is for people who didn't catch up with modern times. It's true, riding an EUC is much easier than riding a unicycle, but who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hmmmmm ???? I could have bought a " Real " unicycle at any time in my life for $78 and decided to pass. Yet I forked out $3,399 on two EUCs the day that I found out they existed ...... I still have no desire for a "real" unicycle. ...... ???? Nope! he must be wrong. However it is fun to watch Ed Pratt cross the world on one. https://www.youtube.com/user/worldunicycletour/playlists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I can unicycle, other than some balancing its just two totally different experiences. You can argue nobility as much as you want for pedal powered, its just no-where near as pleasant and fun as EUCs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is fun to watch Ed Pratt cross the world on one. https://www.youtube.com/user/worldunicycletour/playlists its odd that despite the higher speed, longer range and more exciting riding experience that EUCs/e-skateboards can bring to us, we still don't judge them, at least I haven't seen any so far. but I often saw some arrogant comments from these regular unicyclists/bikers towards us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather discuss with my EUC fellows than wasting even 1 sec on this kind of guy deleted his comment instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
