What's the best way to cool down a hot unicycle?


Recommended Posts

After gunning my RS 19 at full speed in the blistering New Orleans heat for an hour, should I leave the wheel running and let the fans do their job, or completely turn it off?

Also, is it dangerous to ride hot? Do they cause cutoffs?

Just being powered on and balancing creates a certain amount of heat on it’s own. I’d turn it off.

 Inmotion’s and KingSong have temperature limits at which they play warnings and tilt-back the rider to stop. I’m not sure if Begode has implemented such fun limiting features…

What did the temperature sensors say?

turn it off, temp will go down faster

if you reach temp limit (around 75°C ) it will beep and tilt-back

I would turn it off, or at least use the spin kill switch so it can rest and cool down without balancing but without disrupting connection to any tour recording you may be doing...

Slow riding with airflow coling faster compared to just let fan work(real tested with myEUCs).

Turn off is good specialy if motor is overheated.
