Kudays Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hello All, People usually ask me about how can i stand in balance while riding my euc. I have recently heard about spherical tires for cars. But this can be better for a euc bcs one can never lost his/her balance. Of course, for such a modification, EUCs have to upgrade their gyroscopic circuits. I just wanted to ask if this modification is simple or not? What do you think? Is this the future?

Mono Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice concept, but neither simple nor likely to be "the future" for speeds over 10km/h. It has been tried already in a skate/hover board where I currently fail to re-find the video and in an omni directional wheel on the Honda UX-3 using a different way to achieve the same functionality: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudays Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 I like the tire design of Honda. But i cannot say the same thing for Honda U3-X. Why do they insist on sitting for a ride? It is like you need to poo on the toilet while riding somewhere! Not cool. Anyway, Honda still trying their unicycle prototype with this new model: (What do you think?)

lizardmech Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have seen a balancing robot using something similar online once. It used a spherical induction motor to allow rotation in all directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee guy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 OMG @z3n, if this VW concept (flying/floating) car is real, then I want one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have seen the future... and it ain't pretty! Dream or nightmare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudays Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Anyways, omni-directional driving wheel of Honda can be used for EUC. It would be a great modification imagining that a thin wheel can provide its self balance. It would help new riders and one can keep its balance while standing on the wheel.

That’s less than a kid’s hoverboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow speed is probably a good thing, as this seems to be for older people. 6km @6kmh would be great for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 And why would you think older people would want to go slower? Careful what you say, there are a lot of us older people on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
