shelbyKiraM Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Ordered from eWheels.com new. I'm looking to recoup my impulse purchase, but I missed their 14 day return window due to rain & the pedals are sort of scratched from just trying to learn to stand on it. Comes with neoprene cover, looking to get $1,500 or maybe I'll keep it. 🤷🏼♀️ My brain has problems, with spatial awareness. It's why I can't drive. Not sure an EUC was a good choice. Looking for help trying to save some pennies? I'll help you get a basically brand new wheel at a fair discount. And a side view with the pedal folded up. All scratches are just fascia. EUC odometer has 1.8 mi at last check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RockyTop Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Well? If you do end up keeping it, It usually takes 15 minutes a day for two weeks to a month to learn. After 3 months it is easier than a bicycle. … Or at least it is form me. Best of luck.

mhpr262 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Yes, dont give up yet No spatial awareness neeed for EUCs. If you can balance on one leg for five seconds you can ride an electric unicycle. But yeah, learning it is a bitch. A dozen half hour sessions spread over as many days before you can expect to barely stay on in a straight line is perfectly normal. There are lots of good instruction videos on youtube. I recommend the ones from UStride (next to that railing) and from kujirolls (in the parking garage with the girl) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 don't give up! It's worth the learning curve. Promise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I agree with all the past posters! Try and keep at it. I’ve only been at it a few weeks, but it’s a ton of fun. I won’t deny it’s a STEEP learning curve at first and can feel discouraging. If you had the impulse to buy one, you obviously want to ride. I started by clinging to a fence and barely able to go any length, since then I’m doing multi hour rides. I promise the frustrations you’re having now are worth the payoff that’s coming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiitick Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It took me more than 3 weeks to be able to get both feet on the pedals from the ground. I spent lots of time one footing it until it finally clicked. The first day I was practicing, I was exhausted after 5 minutes. Like out of breath, run a 5k exhausted. It's all new muscles, and new pathways in your brain to get the balance. Go slow. If you can balance on a bike or a scooter, you can learn to balance on the EUC. It's worth it. Just put in 5-10 minutes each day, even learning to balance the wheel under your dominant foot takes time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyKiraM Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hahaha, I have a traumatic brain injury from motorcycle accident in '14 in my past, too. But a friend came down from in the mountains with his two KingSongs and got me rolling around for something like a good hour or two, providing support on his... I really had a lot of kinda half-dazed fun with it (I turn with my MIND!) (Also, I was DISCOVERING NEWLY FOUND MUSCLES IN MY KNEE!) but for that price, I kinda just want a good range, good speed ebike. 🤷🏼♀️ My research on that front is kinda pulling up bupkis tho, there's really no "good" ebike company TBH. They're all tryna make their buck, by being proprietary as heck. Good article I found via Hacker News tho, custom built 170 cell battery giving 111-310 mile range. I don't have a welder thoooo, sooooo... * throws my hands in the air like I just don't care * (https://jacquesmattheij.com/long-range-ebike/) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyKiraM Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hey, yeah, still looking to resale it. I tried riding it by myself and quickly crashed... they LOOK awesome and I'm sure once ya get up to speed, they're great but prob not a thing for ME. At least the cat scan I got after my spill said "no cats in there"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamonatheCat Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Would you possibly be interested in trading for a Speedway 5 electric scooter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
