UPONIT Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Can we talk about those colors? May cause seizures or nausea and vomiting... Are they at least highly reflective for safety at night? Edited October 25, 2023 by UPONIT 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I’d take this over a S9 any day. Looks like it will ride much like the menten 4 just with less speed, range and power. Cool though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clem604 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 It looks like a melted Mten4. I'd definitely give it a try though! Â 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Real question - what's it's carry capacity???  My 280lbs heavy ass needs this!!!  Jokes aside, it's almost same weight as Mten4, but same time much weaker. WTF.... Why would anyone buy this then? Edited October 25, 2023 by Funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an mten4 and I still kinda want this. All comes down to price. We host a weekly session where people come to learn EUC at a parking lot.

mhpr262 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 LOL a 10s1p battery pack? At least replacing the battery ought to be easy and affordable. I started riding on a 16s1p generic Chinese unicycle with 400W when I still weighed close to 290lbs and it never cut out on me. As long as you dont push it too hard even those tiny wheels can be reasonably safe. I suspect this wheel is more aimed at kids though. Â I bet it will be the cheapest new name brand wheel on the market by a huge margin. Way below $500 would be my guess. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be fun to just boot around at a parking lot at walking speeds while teaching beginners Ahh yeah... I forgot about 21 century, where parents buy electric pev's for their recently learned to walk kids. And they get their first iPhone at age 1, also pierced ears at month old. Still Mten4 would be much better option even for kids. Dam i'm getting old. I just had my first boomer moment. OMG. 31 minutes ago, mhpr262 said: I bet it will be the cheapest new name brand wheel on the market by a huge margin. Way below $500 would be my guess. I think more like ~650$..

The Brahan Seer Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 500W motor ✓ 15.5Mph max top speed ✓ Front and rear lights ✓ At last a wheel that has the potential to become the default and legal wheel in the UK! you can stop laughing now. I actually love the colours. Very maximalist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's definitely for kids.. Or should I say for the parents - so that they can push their kids into EUC fever.  The bright colors also feel super kid oriented. And the 30km/h free-spin especially means it will probably barely move - much friendlier speeds to kids than accidentally (or braggingly/overconfidently) going 40km/h on a mten4 and smacking into X object because child no understander dingy.

alcatraz Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I suspect the battery was deliberately made small so it could pass security inspections. I wonder, is 180Wh the limit anywehere? Also, what I need is something that can be range extended with a powerbank. Recently in China public transportation has tightened down on eucs. They're not allowed anymore. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the major cities it's different. I used to bring a V8 for many many years with me on the high speed train. That they've blocked since last year. Also on light rail now, since 2 weeks ago. It's kind of like an over ground subway with stations far apart. I haven't tried the normal subway yet or buses. I'll get back to you when I know. Buses are easy to avoid because there aren't security checks. Put a bag over the wheel and they can't stop you. But subways they could technically refuse a tiny Mten3 (which I have as well) in your bag. Edited October 26, 2023 by alcatraz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Even 20 is way to fast!) I would prefer my kid wheel to have "bigger" top speed - more safety margin.. Riding max 10-15km/h should be perfect for any kid.

zaft Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I wonder how compatible the frame is with mten4, because that mten4 frame is garbage and this one looks like a mini A2 which is structurally superior... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, unless that's a typo, then I'm guessing the max riding speed would be 20ish? 20km/h vs 40km/h is a huge difference.  Also, kids nowadays get an iphone during their birth, so I wouldn't find it surprising them changing the wheel max speed themselves at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good luck changing settings. I thought it was max ridding speed.   Now thinking about it's battery/motor size - you are right. Again if speed is controlled - max speed doesn't matter really. The safety margin matters more then 20km/h vs 40km/h.. 500W and 180Wh - the rider needs to be under 60kg. As any heavier rider could overpower it simply going over a bigger pebble.  Edited October 26, 2023 by Funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 WTH? I don't understand what they are thinking sometimes (often). It got more dangerous and more useless. I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
