Absolute beginner looking for: -20 km/h speed -10 km range -16 inch -not going off road -under £700 I am in UK, so something from amazon.co.uk would be nice.

Paddylaz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Welcome KBYD, If you're serious about getting into eucs, most people in here (including myself) would advise you to buy a quality wheel from the start. And from someone reliable, known on the forum and available for help/spare parts. Im from the UK too - would recommend two choices: 1) ninebot one e+ (www.speedyfeet.uk) £625 - that's an incredible price 2) inmotion vf5+ (www.wheelgo.com). £795. Over your budget and only 14", but the best wheel I've ever used (my current.) Enjoy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhpr262 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 if you don't want to spend that kind of money a cheap generic wheel can be used to learn how to ride as well, It worked for me, even though I weigh 270lbs and it has only 350W. i bought it 1,5 years old but almost unused, for just 210€. I guess the previous owner gave up his attempts at learning to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, not at all sure why you are specifying a 16" wheel if you are not going off road, a 14" like the Inmotion V5F+ Is probably better if used only on paved services and I even do a fair bit of bridleway riding on my KS-14. 16" is the better choice if being used on and off road, I've just used a 16" IPS Lhotz successfully on something that felt like the surface of another planet (well it was Malta!) a story I'll be telling in full once I get the pictures off of my camera.

MaxLinux Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 26 minutes ago, Keith said: not at all sure why you are specifying a 16" wheel if you are not going off road I prefer 16 inches for on-road riding. Cracks, potholes, crumbled concrete, rocks, gravel, abound even when riding "on-road." The larger diameter wheel is a big advantage for comfort and stability even if one never goes off-road.

I fell so many times while learning, I was glad I was scratching up an inexpensive wheel. I still have it and ride it occasionally. I just looked and saw the current price at Banggood is $236. http://www.banggood.com/132Wh-T3-Electric-Wheelbarrow-Balancing-Unicycle-15-20km-Endurance-p-949305.html?rmmds=search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Back to the OP. I'd go for the Ninebot from Speedyfeet. That'll do you nicely. Where in the UK are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
