sbouju Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Is it an electric unicycle? IMHO, it is "yes" more than "no", but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BecauseFun Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I look at that and I just see a Segway with a seat. In thinking of cost alone… a good 1 wheeled euc is expensive enough for me. Add another wheel, a seat, and handlebars? Ouch. Otherwise, my first impression is that it looks like it's trying to be a hipper scooter for seniors. I guess I can thank the airwheel a3 people for good laugh at their video though. It's like a hyper stylized short film from McG, all kinds of noise and slash cuts and pseudo-excitement… and beyond all the stupid hype, what is it that you actually see? Some bored girl inching along on something that looks like it doesn't go any faster than about 2 miles an hour. Meh, I think it would have to do 22+ miles an hour to get me even mildly interested. https://youtu.be/gDCv7hyWLdU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with that... Can the seniors have a little fun before the following vehicle, that is the true question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Damn! Sbouju you beat me to it! I was also going to say it looks like a 2-wheeled mobility scooter and performs like one too by the look of it! Considering it's a company marketing video, boy does it miss its target. What makes it even worst is the girl looks really concerned riding it - her body language looked rigid BTW, becausefun, us 'seniors' do alright on one wheel ?

Achim63 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'd be very concerned about the stand in front. If it ever comes loose while driving, flapping to the ground ... I guess it'll mean a flight over the handlebar for the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetricUSA Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I agree with Becausefun, it needs to do 40 km/h, or be able to drag on to a bus (but too big for bus) for me... With an eu, you can slide under seats or in you lap, if you had to.... Though I do like a3 as an option and version of the tech... I could not understand how the seat was attached, but dah, the front arm is attached to seat with a joint that pivots and then the big spring for comfort...
