electric_vehicle_lover Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just found on YouTube. I always like to see new ideias!! Note: see the vídeo description on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Backe Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Very interesting. There's certainly room enough to pack that with enough batteries to have a range much greater than 25 miles. I still think nothing beats the all around cool factor of the EUC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve454 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Safer, top speed cutoff and you just coast like a bicycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Nice find. It's described as "self-balancing" scooter, though to me it looks as self-balancing as a bicycle, i.e. it doesn't look to be self-balancing at all. On the up-side, it has a face-plant preventing front wheel. Face-plant prevention is the only up-side I can find, compared to an EUC. Well, maybe it is also a little easier to learn.

That's a big up-side, you could ride faster with no fear of face-plant. But if the front wheel turns like a bicycle fork, you could still get the wobbles and faceplant anyway. I was wondering why the rider had all those pads on, and they never showed any fast speed. Must be some problem found in testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some problem found in testing. Hard to say. I think you are right, in that the geometry of the self-steering front wheel is decisive and it might give raise to surprising behaviour.

Marty Backe Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 All of these upsides are certainly true, but they don't overcome the fact that you look like you're riding down the road standing on a bicycle And all the upsides negate what I love most about an EUC; you can glide wherever you want to go while taking up no more space than a walking person.

The polar opposite of a majority of the videos I've seen of EUC riders. That said, I think I prefer the EUC as well... Looking forward to the spring and summer months.

I was happy to see it. I only wear a helmet and wrist guard gloves with palm protectors, but elbow and knee protectors are a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planetpapi Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Do you guys think they just modified an existing EUC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
