ogutierr Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi everybody. I think that my battery is smaller than expected. The ad shown 18 km of range, but people in the forum said between 9 and 12 km (depends on the weight of everyone) My weight is 63 kg. But I noticed than during my practices in theparking, it's impossible to get that range, because I drained my battery only turning around the parking....impossible to ride 9 km so... the battery is broken? it's a chinese and BAD battery? trying and trying getting up, turning, etc... makes smaller the life of the battery instead of riding in the street? If I need to buy a new one...where is the best place? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely - accelerating from zero is one of the biggest burden for the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogutierr Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 thanks. yesterday I was riding in the parking. i crossed several times the second floor and then went to the first floor of the parking. i climb for 3 o 4 times from the second to the first floor and after this I went down controlling my body. I was going straigh and turning when required. maybe I was riding for....15-20 minutes??? I don't remember. the leds at the end shown 2 lights instead of 4 (full charged before) and I heared some beep beep when I decided to finish my practice. Do you think is better for me to buy a new one? the unicycle is not new. it's semi-new but I don't know how old. I thinks it's almost new, because of the external care and the wheel. but I'm sure that the battery is a bad chinese quality. Can you tell me one? I saw several in aliexpress from 50 to 100 euro/dollar. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
