He' s a friend of mine. 

But ninebot is too big and heavy for this purpose. Now he is thinking of moving to mten3, at the moment, the best.

I saw that video a long time ago and went to Youtube and entered in the search box, paragliding with electric unicycle.  That was the only video that shows a paraglider carrying an electric unicycle.

Do you think it's a proper performance, for 512 Wh?

Yes, the range that I'm getting is about what I expected for this size battery.

:cry2:   Bu... but that covers up the top of the nice light show!  I wonder whether maybe some white Sugru placed underneath and slightly around the sharp edges would work.  It's grippy and quite moldable.

That's exactly what I' m looking for, the knobs on the faucet are not grippy.  I complained and the maintenance staff replaced the faucets with these smooth handled faucets.:angry::blink1:  I put rubber bands for more grip, but they slide up the top.:facepalm:

You know, I totally forgot about the LEDs. It's only a 3 to 4-inch section of the lights. I can live with that to gain some comfort. I doubt Sugru would survive the handling.

Maybe a split piece of clear tubing attached underneath might work.

Interesting that first video on Google searching for mten3 is guess who's?

Thanks, it's worth considering - I may experiment more.

I guess I'm the only one creating Mten3 videos ?

Good question. Maybe if you glue it on with superglue it will be better. On its own it will never stick enough.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think you will like the Mten3 for this particular use case. Gotway is probably the worst mainstream EUC manufacturer when it comes to disabling the wheel rotation during a fall. KingSong may be the King in this department :)

As this video (which I just made for you) demonstrates, sometimes the wheel will spin up as the wheel is laid on its side.

I would turn it off first when laying it down and then turn it on when ready to ride. The on/off cycle is very fast and certainly less noisy than the multiple beeps as demonstrated here.

 

Curious about this demonstration, I subjected my ks14c to the same test.  Guess what! Same result, exactly.  5 slow beeps on every lay down, and even the occasional wheel spin when going over.  I think possibly, it was quicker to get back in balance mode, not entirely sure though.  So @Psices no KS14c golf either.?

@Marty Backe Nice follow-up. Apparently you don't even walk from the car to the door at your job now :efee612b4b:

How come the pads behind the pedals are the most damaged? Wouldn't either the pedals cover them, or the folded down pedals hit whatever-it-is first instead of the pads hitting it?

Also, have you tried your other Gotway pedals on the mten3? (If you need another video idea:efee8319ab:)

I tried to record my yard cleanup yesterday with Mten3 and Mavic but crash it into a tree.  :crying: Mavic is fine but all 4 blades were broken.

Anyone else experiencing this? I was trying to ride on one foot but as soon as I put pressure on the left hand side of the machine with my leg I heard something ticking against the shell at regular intervals.

Not me.

Lots of good ideas here. @Hunka Hunka Burning Love Thanks for the Sugru tip.  Never heard of it.  Thinking of places I can use it.  Plumbers butt crack comes to mind. Does it stick to sweaty hairy skin? ?

im not sure loss of LEDs at the top is a biggie, as your legs obscure them, mostly, no?

This is my view. Missing a handful of LEDs at the very top isn't a biggie for me right now. But I may look for a different solution over time.

I also noticed a big improvement from the 14C to my 14S. The KS14S wheel stops spinning immediately. I've never seen the wheel turn when the 14S falls over. KingSong made a change recently and it's impressive.

I think these little pads are damaged by the shoes rubbing against them as the you ride the wheel or first put your feet on the pedals.

I have not tried other pedals. These work perfect for me and and are very comfortable.

Is it a ninebot?  If so that is a problem that can be fixed by installing a washer.
