zhirafovod Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Was quite inspired by a @vag72 review of IPS A130 , but seems like they are not being sold anymore. Any similar -7kg/12" EUs on the market? Anybody selling a used one with shipping to US? (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(: We've still got some of these collecting dust, looking forward to selling the remaining stock over Christmas... If your primary criteria is slim & light, then there's really only one option, the IPS i5. https://www.ewheels.com/product/new-ips-i5-245wh-feather-weight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhirafovod Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 @Jason McNeil, I would say short and light and affordable (: I've already looked on i5, but looks like it is quite high and with 16" wheel, so a 6 year old may feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that it seems to cost twice as much, which is also a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhirafovod Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 @steve454, a turbo edition seems to be a bit heavier, and a bit more expensive. What I am looking for is a basic a130 for a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ Catherine Abaya Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 This my son (7 years old) last summer riding his electric unicycle, Ninebot One e+. I recommend the Ninebot One for a small and nibble wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhirafovod Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 @FJ Catherine Abaya - your son rides e+ amazingly well. My assumption was that lighter EU would be easier to manage, so after seeing a130 specs started to want it badly for my daughter. We actually have a e+ at home and I probably should just buy another $300 s1 on amazon or a new unicycle for my wife or myself. Just sad that nobody makes similar 12"/15lb unicycles.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the Luffy. It's a 10 inch wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trya Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I believe that Luffy is ideal for a kid. I owned and rode both A130 and Luffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the IPS i5 would equal or top those figures. 14" tire, 16.5 pounds, and $575 on eWheels at the moment. No LEDs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhirafovod Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 @trya, thanks for the info. I will definitely consider it. We have decided to see if my daughter can ride my old Ninebot E+ (Funny that this 2yo+ EU is now branded as a new Segway S1). If she can ride it - IPS i5 can be an option, if it is about the same dimensions. Or we will just leave E+ for her and buy a new 30+ mph toy for us.

Ninebot e+ and segway s1 are different....e+ is 16inch...s1 is 14inch wheel, a bit newer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ Catherine Abaya Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If the wheel doesn’t work. You can always get one of these....it’s a hoverboard with a hoverkart attachment and it’s very easy to drive. It’s so easy my 3 year old daughter races his brother in our parking lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
