SlowMo Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very nice! I purchased an IPS Kahuna which has a handlebar just like that for my son. Unfortunately it was stuck in Hong Kong until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many EUCs do you have now, SloMo? 3 hours ago, alon av said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrzFgvJZJ3g Nice! I can see how the handle might make it easier to ride for a beginner. Looks like the dog enjoys it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alon av Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 SlowMo I searched for the kahuna with the handlebar, could not find pictures, could you send a link or attach a picture? I'm really interested how did they make it, I also wish you would get it soon as you can compare it to other EUC's . It is hard to tell from video but it is a round tire, It is also hard to see that I have short stroke suspension too, was absolutely essential on the original Q1.

It has a solid flat wide tire which is very stable and good for kids.The handlebar is an optional accessory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alon av Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have uploaded a few more videos + a video from a friend after riding for 10 minuets. This video shows a closer look of the EU You can see the suspension. The suspension is a huge help for the dual wheel EU. riding in the parking: And this a video of a total beginner with 10 minutes experience on an EU :), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Those suspensions are neat! Chinese designers should follow. Great videos! Btw,where did you get that rounded wide tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oily Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I suspect it's just a motorbike/scooter tire ? The suspension pedals? look awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alon av Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Got the tire from ebay, pocket bike tire. It was very very difficult to fit it to the rim , spend a lot of time on it . Also, because the tire diameter is larger then the original tires I had to cut the shells and make new longer aluminium bars that attach to the motor. I am thinking about making and selling the suspension if there is demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try it without the handlebar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alon av Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 I can ride easily no hands, I was also bothered with the ride height, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Just now, alon av said: I can ride easily no hands, I was also bothered with the ride height, no problem. Cool, now the problem to face is that not all brands have the same pedal structure. Maybe this one is compatible with Airwheel X3 and clones? Could it fit a Gotway MCM2S?

alon av Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 probably every company has it's own dimensions I will need help with measuring the relevant dimensions because in my country importing EU is not allowed . We have almost no EU's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alon av Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Joel Sorry for the late late reply, was on vacation Answers to your questions : It is an AirWheel Q1 The Tire is taller then the thin small original tires so to be able to use the same casing I had to cut the casing and locate them Higher above the wheel. that is why I had to make new longer Bars. Because it is double wheel unicycle it has a wide rim so it is possible to fit wide tire. Sadly the tire is not tubeless, I needed to order the specific tube for this tire and find how to make another air valve much more side way then the original one. welcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
