woke rider Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Children love electric unicycles, it's a wonderful product. If my grandpa had an 18XL that fascinated his grandchildren, then it's a great bonding experience. Grandpa could buy two or three of these and keep them at his house it would be a great time in-between basketball practice or to bring a long for camping. I love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - but and precisely for this reason the childrens should not be presented with a toy. That ball has nothing to do with riding a real EUC - it's just a funny gadget for no use. Furthermore, children has to learn from the start that safety equipment is smart, and the least one should give them when they play is protection for knees, elbows, hands and head. Instead of a silly advertisement that suggests that the boy just grabs the ball out of the bag (which obviously doesn't contain anything else...) and rides home from school. In bare legs and head. That ball is absolutely insane. No proper light either in front or behind. No range, no speed, no proper way to storage, no nothing else than money for nothing. Give the kids a real EUC, a Kingsong 14D / Inmotion V8 / V5 Begode Mten4 / MCM5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been riding daily to work like that for past 3 years. No need to take 5-10 mins getting into motorcycle suit and putting all that gear on. Everything else you said - i 100% agree. Heck even some old KS14D, V5/8 would be 100% better EUC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The children needs to love it.. (Don't think about yourself. Think about the one whos gonna use it.) And by giving the child something like this - makes you a worse parent. Why? Because you got bought into gimmick, something that isn't safe at all and is worst "EUC" on planet earth. Next to Mten3/4, but at least this EUC is an actual EUC, not a gimmick!

mrelwood Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Protective gear is one thing, but the advertisement clearly implies that it can actually be used as a basket ball as well. Just guess how many warranty cases they’ll have to try to deny because the S9 was being thrown around before reading the fine print in the manual… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No denying any case. It's their fault for making it look like one. Who ever designed it - is a dipshit. No thought process at all while designing one.. Make it look like basketball and then wonder why it gets dropped so often. We all know not all humans are the brightest and some of them will try to bounce the thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woke rider Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Don't be hating on the S9. It's perfect. Now people can play EUC basket ball while riding their S9's. If I was 6 years old, it would be me favorite toy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
