Thanks for the clarification. If you extend the vertical arm of the stand to the highest point, and set the pin for the lever part to the furthest out setting, is it possible for the wheel to stand at least semi-upright in the stand by itself without a wall nearby? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a beauty (both V13 and kitty)! I see you have all the same accessories I've got already (seat, kickstand and parking stand) plus velcro, I just miss the V13 itself (still stuck in UPS' void...). Regarding the seat, have you tried to remove from the wheel and slide it on unfolded trolley handle and then fold it down? Also, for the parking in the stand, have you tried to park it in "reverse" to see if the kickstand would lean against the front vertical beam, thus not requiring leaning against the wall?

I hope it might be possible to park the V13 in "reverse" with kickstand leaning against the vertical arm. Worst case scenario I'll look into some attachment for the arm to allow that. Alternatively, you can just insert piece of stick or similar in the front vertical arm and have the front cage of V13 lean against it.

The stand is ideal, but the wheel is very stable on it's front, and takes up arguably the same foot print like that. So worst case scenario you always have that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So worst case scenario you always have that. Yeah, but the access to charging ports is less than ideal when leaning on the kickstand or rear cage. Plus I prefer to park the wheels at home as close to vertical position as possible to allow for better water egress. At work I'd need to use kickstand stand, the same way as with V12-HT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but if the wheel is facedown sitting on the frame the charge ports are literally facing up towards the sky. Super easy access.

That is what I was going to suggest, that vertical tube is perfect for putting another tube or pipe in with a V at the top to catch the orange hand grab. Looks like a pretty easy mod. Or if you want to get slightly fancier you can cantilever over a catching hook from the topmost part of an extension tube/pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that plug should be sealed around the base up against the board. It's the tail light board and it's pretty exposed as you can see sand granules on it. Looks like they sealed the end of the plug but not the base. Definitely sealing that when i get my wheel. They sealed the caps and coil next to it. The pins look ok but salt water across them wouldn't be good. Upright drying is a good call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post novazeus Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) haha, seems like from dawn's videos the speedometer is off with the knobby as well. so, will the display read 15% faster or slower. btw, i never look at my speed when i'm riding anyway. never did on my motorcycles either. i just went as fast as i needed to find clear airspace from cagers. ya, i've been depressed since cancelling my order with jason, so jacob did a good job convincing me he'd take good care of me. his warranty is outstanding! and he's giving me a free kickstand as well! winner winner chicken dinner!

Product Details Want to improve the durability and stability of your EUC with some new shoes? Choose Michelin for the best experience on the road with the Pilot street II for high-speed cruising and cornering capability. Compatibility for the 80/90-14 - EXN, RS, EX2, Commander, HERO, S22, Master, Sherman ,Sherman Max, V11, S18 Compatibility for the 80/90/-16 - V13 NOTE: Most of these tire options are designed for motorcycle use. While they are well tested to work fine for Electric unicycles, some rim types may not be ideal for a tubeless tire. In order to make your conversion tubeless you must install a tubeless valve stem or re-use the tube in your EUC. We were the first US dealer (reported) to test the INMOTION V13 with the pilot street 2 with great success and improved the handling completely for on road experience.

Popular Post dadiechez Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 The stand works great. Just pull it back from the wall a bit, and be sure to tip it forward when you power it off. It will rest comfortably at the shown angle. 😉 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratz on your purchase. haha great! i'll get bragging rights to the ignorant people on tire diameter/speedometer error. Downsizing, or installing a shorter tire, will cause the speedometer to read a faster speed than you are actually driving. This is because the smaller tire will have a smaller circumference, causing the tire to travel less distance per rotation than the original equipment tire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you know this though. Here's another one, done on an empty road at night time - you can see it takes him quite a while (and distance) to get there. He doesn't seem scared, just smart. Dawn's run - dead straight, great surface, nothing on track - she's all alone. Kuji Rolls, huge open empty road at night time.
