I agree, but the last thing a manufacturer would want on their wheels is a Black Box. It could possibly incriminate them. It would need to be an aftermarket solution.

Hope i can use gloves instead of wrist guards. They are still In transit. i do have a bicycle helmet but i think a skate board helmet will look better, so i might order it at some point.

You have to make sure to get one with a stifft hick protective inner liner suitable for rolerskating and inline skating (which will protect agains severe impact), not a cheap helmet with a thin soft liner just for skateboarding.

That's one thing about the NineBot that I really like. When it falls, it does not spin in circles and hit everything within reach... The TG F3 on the other hand does.

Nice. I like Bern helmets. It's a good product line to check out if you're on the fence about wearing one (no, I don't sell them). They're pretty light and comfortable, but most are certified to bike safety standards, which is safer for your head if you take a tumble at high speed. You can swap out the liner depending on the season (looks like you've got a winter liner here). Plus you can clearly get your Hell's Angels look on if that's what you're after...

Jag_Rip Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 @Obly thanks for the reassuring words, I was looking for a light but safe enough helmet that I could wear summer and winter, that doesnt have ventilationslits that would let rain through (I figured I wont need a vented Helmet, since I am not very active on my commute, I basically stand still and let the bot do all the work). But the matte black will probably heat up pretty good in summertime. When I saw that Bern brand I smiled and had to do some research, since Bern is the Capital of Switzerland. But like K-Swiss it has nothing in common with my country. But its a respected brand and I read a lot of good reviews about them. And I really like the Lid, it hopefully helps to keep my glasses free of drops (mostly) when riding through the rain. @DSeucist hehe, actually one message is intended to the police: dont bother stopping me, I am a super law-abiding citizen, look I even wear safetygear where its not mandatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearedbliss Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 @logos222 How are you feeling? This is scary stuff, I'm gonna start wearing my helmet again even though I'm a veteran rider O.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltimondi Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 My accident occurred on a Ninebot one P. Sudden cut off at regular cruising speed, on a small incline. No beeping, no tilt back, no nothing. Just a sudden cut off. The wheel turned on again after the accident and the battery status indicated on the app was 77%. The result was: “Mildly displaced right elbow radial head fracture. Left elbow injury with subluxation and dislocation type I coronoid fracture and a completely nondisplaced radial head fracture.” I am not going back on the P again. Almost 2 months after the incident I have recently gone back riding my old E+ but, in all honesty, I lack the same confidence that I use to have before, hopefully it will get better with time. In my case no protection gear would have helped me since my problem was that I landed on my hands with arms straight in order to protect my head and elbow joints absorbed all the impact with the humerus smashing against ulna and radius. I am now considering getting KS16 A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is scary stuff, I'm gonna start wearing my helmet again even though I'm a veteran rider O.O. I'm feeling better. It took a few months for my cognitive function to get back to normal (Neurologist said I have a mild concussion), and I just came back from the orthopedic yesterday. He said my collar bone was completely healed up! I am not riding the gotway anymore, but I have started riding the 9bot e+ again. I am still worried it may shut off at anytime, and am wearing more protection now, when riding. I don't know if this issue has been brought up before but, are there any way to run diagnostics or maintenance on electric unicycles. I mean cars and other vehicles, require routine check-ups to make sure they are functioning properly. Shouldn't EUCs as well? 27 minutes ago, Moltimondi said: My accident occurred on a Ninebot one P.

In my experience, any shut-off above 10 mph can cause serious injury. I think solowheel realized this from very early on and wisely limited their products to 10 mph. If I can ever afford it, I am personality considering getting the solowheel xtreme for my next wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearedbliss Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 @logos122I'm glad to hear you are close to back to normal :). You are right, EU should have routine inspections but we don't really have that nowadays since they are not that popular, there isn't really an ez way to get it to a "authorized repair personnel". I'm worried about riding Ninebots or any other wheels that allow one to do firmware updates. The KS 14C has been extremely reliable for me and they don't allow firmware updates so once you know it works, it works forever (or until hardware failure haha). I would like them to cap the speeds at 25 km/h. My ks goes at 30 km/h and it's fine but I never go at those speeds since it is dangerous. 16 km/h (10 mph) is too slow for me, but I feel 15 is a good balance between too fast and too slow.

I am now considering getting KS16 A. "landed on my hands with arms straight", some practice on taking a barrel roll can prevent this, of course this is easier said than done... I never had serious injuries, but after each bad fall it took me some time to get the confidence up to the previous level @fearedbliss I believe you've made a good point on the firmware. Firmware updates should be developed for very good reasons (>> safety>performance>.......>BS settings) and tested thoroughly before making them available to the users. Some users just cannot resist to mend something that is not broken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a very disturbing accident in any case. I am glad to hear that you have recovered so to go back on a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
