Popular Post John Eucist Posted May 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) This forum is about electric unicycles. An electric unicycle (EUC, wheel) is a self-balancing personal electric vehicle with (functionally) one wheel. DISCLOSURE The forum founder and moderators do not sell electric unicycles and are NOT affiliated with any electric unicycle related company nor receive compensation from any electric unicycle companies. We have zero-income from this. We want to keep this forum as neutral and unbiased as possible. RULES Be good to one another. Don’t insult anyone directly, including the staff. Don’t use hate speech of any kind, including (but not limited to) hate speech related to ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, religion, political inclination, or anything else deemed inappropriate by the moderation team. No pornography. Do not type your entire post or the entire topic title in ALL-CAPS. Capitalization of a few words for emphasis is okay (like I just did in the last sentence). "Some people fall for conspiracies and then want to talk about them. Always derails topics and drives arguments." Please don't do that. ADVERTISING RULES New members are not allowed to advertise until they have been active and established in the community. Only EUC ads and Ninebot Mini (and equivalent) ads are allowed. All ads must go in the corresponding ad section of the forum. In the interest of our members, if you are going to advertise your electric unicycle store, company, or products it should be something that the vast majority of our members are very likely WANTING to see. Do not do this more than once a week and bumping your ads unnecessarily. Also make sure the ad is significantly different from your previous one. As a regular customer, discussing about EUC shops in the non-ad sections is okay as long as you are not deliberately trying to "game the system" by shilling or astroturfing. For example, you should not keep praising and linking a shop in your replies or in topics pretending to be normal customer while you are actually financially associated to the shop. We can spot these things and you will achieve the opposite effect where your business loses reputation, your account is banned, or both. LANGUAGE English (and as "lingua franca") is the language used in this forum. If you cannot express what you want to say in English then use Google Translate first and paste the translated message into your topic or replies. This is better than having the majority of our members having to do it individually to read your message. Non-English language discussions are allowed in the "Local Group Meet Ups" section where there are threads specifically for different native languages of different countries or regions. Some tolerance will be allowed for Chinese EUC manufacturers (if their English is weak) to type in Chinese if it helps facilitate problem solving with EUCs. In these cases, we encourage other members to translate it back to English. NEW MEMBERS Your first few posts may be manually approved by the moderators before others can see them, to ensure they are appropriate. New members are not allowed to advertise until they have been active and established in the community. Posts should be clearly distinguishable from what a spammer, shill, advertiser (outside of the "Commercial Advertisements" forum), or other dishonest person might post. Suspicious posts may have to be removed. As this is a "global" forum we recommend that you include your country in your profile under "Location" ( not in your name ) to facilitate discussions that depend on geography. You're encouraged to add your wheel(s) in your profile under "EUC". POSTING MEDIA This forum is hosted on a server where the total disk space cap is relatively low. Therefore every forum member's account also has a cap on total disk usage (you will eventually run out of space). For this reason it is encouraged that you put your large images on reliable external sites such as imgur.com (or equivalent) and embed it back into your posts. For imgur (you don't have to create an account), if you want to embed the photo into your post, make sure to use the "Direct Link" instead of the "Image Link" given by imgur. Storage space for "Full Members" has been upgraded to up to 1GB - so uploading pictures here is no problem anymore. However videos go to YouTube (or equivalent) and can be embedded back into your posts here. Please see this link for details on how to do it. To "embed" all you have to do is copy and paste the link to the body of your post (wherever you want it) and hit enter. USING THE QUOTE FUNCTION When quoting a post that is very long (especially one with multiple media embeds) please trim away the parts of the quote that are irrelevant to your reply. NOTIFICATION This forum has a helpful notification functionality. You can mention (name-drop) members by using the @-functionality, or quote them, and they will get notified about it.

Popular Post Keith Posted May 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2016 Can I ask that new members remember this is a global forum and, at the very least, enter their country under location when joining the site. It will not identify you at all and it is amazing how many people ask geographical questions (Where can I get one of these, are these legal on the sidewalk, etc.) but haven't told us where they are. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden is slightly warmer though my friend, but good point about lithium cells and even if I can take it well dressed what about the EUC cause winter is coming here?

The cells will drop voltage much faster in cold, at least earlier EUC Extreme used battery warming system custom built for the wheel to keep the packs warm (but not too hot of course) and made a studded tire himself for winter riding. Not a really cheap solution, but should work pretty well. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olpop Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Very happy to join the forum today, of which I am an intensive reader since the beginning of this year. I have already learned a lot there and I hope to be able to contribute in an interesting and recreational way to this balancing community. I ride a 14D and I'm still in the discovery phase with barely 250 kilometers on the odometer. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esper Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Important question I'd like to ask. How do I remove submitted media content? I posted a few pictures in my earlier posts and would like to remove them or replace them with images hosted my Imgur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit late response... you can see your "attachments" by clicking on your avatar / username in the upper right corner (don't know if it shows similarly if you're using a phone) and selecting Content -> My attachments. As for replacing the images with imgur ones, you'll have to edit each of the posts using the images and replace them with a direct link to the imgur image (the link will be automatically embedded as an image in your post). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can view my attachments. But I don't have a button to delete any of them. and when I click on them, it just downloads the image. I am just simply looking to remove the attachments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a while to figure it out, but you actually have to go to the post where the file is attached and edit it, there you can delete the attachment. Unnecessarily complex if you ask me, but since the forum space is very limited, I'd use imgur or similar image hosting anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report such posts and write something like "please remove the attachments". I haven't ever tried it, but I think mods can remove attachments from other people's posts too. As for why some of your posts don't have the edit-button, I don't know... Edited July 18, 2018 by esaj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same question. I had posted about eight or nine print screens in the testing section and ran out of space. I went back to the post and deleted the pictures, but they are still showing in my attachments, and I can't delete them. From now on will use a hosting service.

Esper Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yeah, I think the reason I wasn't able to edit posts was because this was before the forum got an update. The update being, edit all posts instead of just the most recent, and also the see who reacted to the posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
