Jean eRide.ie Community Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks for sharing Uniler. Yes, saw this some months ago, that's the one I need in my office, once I step off my EU I can sit on that to move around the office haha, that would be crazy. Waiting for Chinese factories to copy it too haha, anyway that was a prototype, not on the market, so difficult that will happen for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Id like to see their wheel construction, how they resolved hpgoing in any direction. I have a couple of ideas how this coulkd be achieved, interesting what they did. I believe this is the nearest future if the unicycles - being able to go sideways and in any direction - this is what will make the eucs truly self balancing and desirable by everyone - not having to balance side to side.

uniler Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Lol Butt cups The system uses multiple small diameter motorised wheels connected inline to form one large diameter wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Actually they should have added a back support then they could call this thing an "Electric Chair". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably need 1020WH batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA-B8 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This thing is so dorky looking.. Concept came out way back in like 2009 and luckily nothing became of it. It's just a slow moving office chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colestien Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I like the thought of it keeping balance both right and left too. Big battery and a 2100w motor. Put it in a nice looking case. Like GW, NB, or a Kingsong. And Bamm...you have something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is: Here's a larger version they've been working on: There was a video somewhere where they interviewed the designer, but couldn't find it right now.

uniler Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sweet. Thanks for the link. Sure it looks silly, like an office chair but its the technology i admire not the style. Innovation isn't always pretty. The u3-x was more of a prototype for whats to come. Once the kinks have been worked out, you get to make it as cool looking as you want.
