What's the biggest thing you've carried around on an EUC?

[Hunka Hunka Burning Love]

We all see Alex Segmuller carrying around women while riding, and @myfunwheel has his epic transport of his projector screen.  I'm curious what is the largest thing you've carried around with your EUC?  @electricpen sparked my interest when he mentioned that he moved house and took many trips bringing things back and forth until he hit that pothole.

I haven't carried much, but I did bring a good sized box (13x12x13") full of items to the post office 2.5 km away on my Ninebot.  I'm sure I must have drew many stares as I couldn't even see my wheel below me while I was riding.  I've also brought back a 4L jug of milk and a bag of groceries.  Usually I like to keep my hands free to help balance if needed and to grab the wheel.

125 pound person is the heaviest thing I've carried. I've often carried bulky and heavy things on my EUC. It requires less strength than walking because you just hold something instead of it bouncing up and down.

Not so much big, but perhaps risky? I've carried $150 of rum in glass bottles... Just one @Smoother-certified face-plant and passers-by would be wondering what that fat guy is doing, on all-fours next to a roomba, licking the sidewalk!

  Okay wow I think @z3n is in the lead so far.   The gauntlet has been thrown.  Alex Segmuller needs to post a video of him carrying a loveseat AND a 125 lb lovely lady sitting on top drinking a $150 bottle of rum.  

Next thread soon to be posted will be what was the heaviest thing that killed you while riding an EUC?

a person on the back. 65kg

not enough power on e+

I carried a 6' tall cane plant in a five gallon pot. It may have only been about 40lbs, but it made me look like a plant coming down the middle of a giant hill. Okay kinda lame I know in light of that couch and bottle of Rum. 

[Smoother]

@Stan Onymous in your signature, what is a "broken Kingsong 18ay (soon to become an eyeball carriage wheel motor")? nice image of your cane plant, reaching 9 feet into the air as you carry it.

Nothing humorous or impressive here, just a lot of groceries in a heavy backpack and 2 plastic bags full, in each hand (with my leash in case of a runaway). Crossing a four-lane road, in front of the police station was interesting 

[Coffee guy]

Similiar to @The Fat Unicyclist, I carried 1 or 2 cases of very expensive wine directly from Chateau de Pommard back to where we were staying 2km away.

The risk was worth it since I made a successful transport.     

My wife carried a shopping bag.   

[Demargon]

Three 20 kg bags fertilizer with a wheelbarrow for a 3 km path. Without the wheelbarrow I can carry this two bins:

This guy up the street from me made one of those 4 wheel bike carriages into a pretty remarkable electric carriage with a giant 3' diameter revolving eye on the top of its roof. He only had a 250w motor which he had to push up hills, so I am donating the 800w motor to his refurbishment. Met him while riding my new ks18s. I had always wanted to meet him but never saw him driving the carriage. I cant wait

I'm still having trouble visualizing it.  Maybe someday you could post a picture in the photo thread, when it's been upgraded.  I like weird transport devices.  I used to live in Houston and they had a massive art car community and parade.

I did this but with 2 unicycles, me carrying the front and my friend carrying the back end. Never thought about doing it alone! haha

I have been trying to do all my local errands on the EUC so in the past couple of months I've carried:

• various groceries, mostly in a backpack
• pizza boxes
• a six-pack of beer bottles in each hand plus two six-packs of beer cans in a backpack
• big but not heavy boxes being returned to Amazon
• cans of house paint
• a 40-pound bag of clothes to Goodwill

The big bag of clothes was pretty tricky, it was too big to fit into a backpack so I wrapped some rope around it and used the ropes as shoulder straps. My KS14C behaves very differently with a 190-pound load on it.

My first wheel was a Lhotz 191. Sometime later agreed to buy a v8 and went to pick it up on the Lhotz. Wasn't particularly heavy but the box was quite large and awkward. It was a bit windy as I recall, so wheeling through south London carrying another wheel in a box wasn't very easy.

Shame you can't ride one wheel on each foot.  That's a skill I'll never learn.

Yet it's surprisingly easy to push a second wheel by its trolley handle. It even allows to stop without stepping down.

And... When you get to a flight of stairs, your carry-weight is much more balanced too (one wheel in each hand).

Nowdays I rarely carry anything above 50 pounds because of "pedal sag". The lower the pedals, the more flex there is, and so to me the engine power is not so important as the pedal height. The Inmotion V5 notably has virtually no flex while something like a KS14c has a lot. KS16 and MSuper 1600 are somewhat flexy.

I would think the V8 would be one of the best wheel to carry things while the MCM @Marty Backe -- crasher would be one of the worst.

Don't know for sure since I've never seen either of those wheels in person, but going off pedal height alone that is what I would think.

[phatmike]

I can confirm that. I tried msuper, I tried Kingsongs, I tried rockwheel but  the InmotionV8 is the best for carrying havvy stuff.

Hi guys ! Here is a pic of the heaviest thing I've carried around

 

[Smoother]

Coming from a cracked axle background, pictures like this send shivers up my spine. 

[yourtoys7]

135 lbs. my sister, to be honest I was little worried.

[Demargon]

Last year I helped a rider pushing him and his stopped motorbike along 2 or 3 km. I don't know if technically I carry him (English isn't my native language) but surely is the record of weight (close to 300kg) for that distance. The old man of the bike (medium size scooter) can't expressed more gratitude for the help
