Frankman Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Honestly I don't understand the usefulness of such a loud audio amplifier on EUC. I can figure it could be used for P.A. announcements or out loud advertisings such as political or commercial spots or what else? Can anybody explain it to me, please?

It is hard to gauge the volume from a video. If the volume is the same as the 14" can provide then it is useful. Impossible to explain until you try it yourself. Basically with the music on loud riding through the beighborhood it turns you into a minor god or at least a major celebrity or at the very least the coolest guy in town in the eyes of the population from 4 to 55 years old. It can be a nice feeling to be that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Olsen Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 @Cloud totally agree, sounds silly at first but everbody thinks it's so cool when arriving .. Volume is a tad higher than KS14 Put it in a different way, this could be the coolest bluetooth speaker with the longest playtime ;-) with 680wh it will play for a week ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not like you cannot bring the volume down - its up to the rider to adjust the volume but its good to have that extra power packed in there. Yeah you can use it as a speaker playing for hours and hours, probably days not the highest quality speaker but good enough to have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankman Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So, could it be seen like a new sort of SELF BALANCING BOOMBOX ? Mmmhhh ... However I think I can't ride around playing loud music without being considered like a boor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you care what some people will consider you? Even if you just ride an euc, some will think poorly of you. Just enjoy the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin_rm Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Where I grew up at, people blasting music extremely loud in public is a normal daily occurrence. I don't live there anymore, but I will no doubt represent my culture by blasting music in public on my KingSong16, once I have it. Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Olsen Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 As said by somebody it's difficult to judge how loud it is... It's not crazy loud, but it's ok and will serve the purpose of listening while ridin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilmann Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Call me an old-fashioned mummy: to me, anything blubbering or blasting music up and down the neighborhood, is about as cool as a Ford Pinto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 it all depends on how you do it. Blasting music for the purpose of making everyone listen to it is obnoxious. However, riding and listening to it, just being in the groove and enjoying it can look pretty cool. I usually dance to the music while i ride the wheel. It can be something slow blueezy and doesnt have to be super loud. Moving on a wheel coordinated with the music can feel better than dancing and can be quite a spectacle.

EUCMania Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 These speakers are great for you to use in protest. Imagine a bunch of KS riders riding and shouting in unison through their speakers: " What do we want? Living wages. How much is it fair? 1 KS-16 per hour." We need an app for broadcasting to all these KS units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually invented a whole new level of coolness, as if pushing music thourhg the speakers wasnt enough...i went to google maps on my phone and started directions to whatever destination i was going, then turned the music on...so once in a while the music would stop and the voice would say real loud...turn left in 300ft...you will reach your destination by 13-20... Go straight for a mile thene a left....the effect was phenomenal... To other people Not only was i riding a machine from the future...it also has navigation and would know where i was enough to tell me where to go....it was like a super space ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUCMania Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Cloud's idea of using the speaker to announce GPS direction is a great idea. One can decal the KS as a boombox or a sub-woofer, ride it around with music on. It will be interesting to see how ppl reacts to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When living in a big city there really is enough noise around everybody. So we can (should!) make a difference by our unicycles and show there's a better way to commute by wasting less energy then cars and not polluting others with noise.

When living in a big city there really is enough noise around everybody. So we can (should!) make a difference by our unicycles and show there's a better way to commute by wasting less energy then cars and not polluting others with noise. Refer to my earlier post ( quoted below). Playing music in cars with open windows is to purposely make others listen to what the driver thinks is cool music which is usually quite horrible. Riding the wheel and listening to music is in the first place for oneself to enjoy the experience. Most others react well to this - its just aadded bonus. Besides the music level should be regulated so as not to be a major disturbance. Music out of the wheel is quieter than the one you are referring to from the car's windows. I do agree it is controversial, i d say it can be bold. What i listen to is nothing like the car window music - normally soft, and melodic. Some will enjoy it and some will hate it - all together the world will stay in equilibrim:) Besides, riding woth music is much much safer as people see you coming in - this saved me many a time from collissions. also, i for one, when ride with music and see a cop ahead, always turn the volume down so as to not attract attention to the euc, or if i see someone talking on the phone i reduce the volume so they can hear their conversation and try to go by them fast to minimize the noise they dont need. Or if i see an elderly person i do the same...if i see someone who might think it looks good then its another story...i agree we shouldnt inconvenience others or cause them frustration ( but on the other hand when we see someone who is just happy and enjoying the moment, we shouldnt get frustrated if we are normal:) 23 hours ago, Cloud said: it all depends on how you do it.

edwin_rm Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Has anyone tried audio of Star Wars flying ships or any such similar sound effects? I'm thinking I'll do that. Blast audio extracted from a Star Wars Pod Racer clip or something, put in on loop, and make people believe the unicycle sounds like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Scott Will Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have played electronic humming noises on loop through my 14c speakers before, which I got a huge kick out of. It also kinda helps people hear you coming from behind, but ultimately I got sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Vu Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I play my music nice and loud not to annoy people, but to let people ahead of me know that I am coming up behind them. Because it gets tiring after a long while having to shout "On your left" especially when half of the people can't hear with earbuds in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
