Jean eRide.ie Community Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi all, Just found this on Taobao, looks interesting, the wheel is 23 inches if I'm not wrong, but I think top speed is 20km/h. Anyway for 3000 yuan (455usd) it's cheaper than any of its kind. What do you think? http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?spm=a1z5f.7632060.0.0&id=520797049899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean eRide.ie Community Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi all, I found the same one even cheaper here at 410 USD http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=525300474426&spm=0.0.0.0 And a couple of similar style ones: http://h5.m.taobao.com/awp/core/detail.htm?id=524300494575&toSite=main http://h5.m.taobao.com/awp/core/detail.htm?id=45136948849&toSite=main What do you think, would be good to find a video of one of there haha. Anyway I don't think they get to 30km/h. Found a short video: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTI3ODgxNjY3Mg==.html?from=s7.8-1.2&x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks really cool and look fantastic and will solicit lots of attention. but to me these things are almost as big as a motocycle but lacking the safeties/ redundancies of one. The appeal of a unicycle is its compact size - this is why peopke sacrifice the safeties by having no redundant systems buit in. If i were to buy something almost as big as a bike, id rather go for a regular motorized bike or bike with a big and small wheel to have the inherent safeties of the two points of contact with the pavement.

Jean eRide.ie Community Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for the comment Cloud, I agree with you, I prefer a small unicycle to this. The unicycle is cool, but I'd say the one wheel bike are cooler , that would be the only reason to get one... For special events or promotional things... If one day I bring some wheels by sea I've to get one of these to try haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
