Planetpapi Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Can this design be improved some how more elegantly to our regular EUCs? So, that extra small wheel prevents the main wheel to sink in, in case of sudden motor cut offs. So in regular usage it is 2 inches above the ground. When the motor cut off, the main wheel tilts forward making the small wheel touch the ground. I guess there still will be a great sudden jerk but hopes to safely jump off the wheel. I know it's not a great solution ( unless you ride in a strait line) but throwing the idea anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 With such a device you won't be able to go up a slope, nor ride in forest paths that are not as smooth as a road... I couldn't use it, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Put another one in the back, but higher off the ground, also the front one a little higher, and motor cutoffs are less dangerous. But then it looks like the wheel is unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Unfortunately the extra leverage and resulting momentum created by this cantelever apendage in a shut down would most certainly result in greater injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
