eddiemoy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I don't like the handle or the way the pedals fold or unfold. Hard to unfold them with one hand. So much easier with my King Song and the DIY magnetic pedals, just kick and all one hand operation and a foot. When you get out of a store, it is so inconvenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its loose, but they are fixing that, that would be my only complaint. there's a screw inside the attached part for tight the handle, not 100% efficient but improve significantly the feel. In my opinion the worst part of the handle is the metal vertex of the hinge, makes the most painful part of the euc for crash on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been practicing about 20-25 minutes a day spread over the five days before I took my first proper ride to work. That way I've avoided the worst bruises and such. Ok well I am VERY sore today... mainly my calf and ankles. Likely going to need a day to recover. Can't wait to ride it again. Gotta say it was pretty impressive and the light was awesome at night. I didn't do it all at once but in two sessions in one day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few bugs in the app and the sampling rate is not that great. not sure how it compares to the other apps sampling rate. No experience with a manual unicycle. Was just really motivated and went for it. I think if I was timid and tried to go really slow it would have been harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like with biking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that0n3guy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I learned pretty fast too, probably about the same speed as scap. I have experience with other balance things though (board sports) and a couple youtube videos really helped. chooch's video on how to learn for example. Also having a machine I didn't care about trashing helped :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, can do, brb! Ah there is that little, teeny, tiny matter of payment. I charge extra for hazard pay. But hey if women can put up with it, who's to say we men can't too! Payment first, big boy! Hmmm it looks like I'm in the less common camp of it taking weeks to learn riding these EUCs. I watched one or two Youtube videos and thought yeah, I can do that. Looks so easy! Not! For me, at least. Congrats on the fast learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demargon Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I was able to ride it at second try using a fence, it was in a sidewalk in Madrid by night, in the third try I already can do my way at low speed. I see a couple of others making it in the same time, always people with balance experience in boards or classic unicycle Edited June 7, 2018 by Demargon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You properly excel in many other ways. And I am pretty sure you have 20x my skills on an EUC.

The tiny mten3 or the Ninebot One S2 with no side pads (leg bracing) is hard mode, high shell msuper or V8/V10 is probably notably easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't have sounds, I don't know if it was saying "overload". I'm at 90% battery though. I think I might know how to duplicate it: set your tiltback around 22 or 23 mph... not max (I don't get tiltback at 24mph when I set mine on max) find a long hill, nothing crazy steep, but enough that would make you avoid it if you were riding a bike :). bomb up the hill, once you hit tiltback, just let up a little so your not accelerating, but your slowing down very slowly. The tilt back will keep pushing back until you have to stop and turn off the machine to get it out of the 45 degree angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulson Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've now had this happen twice, both times on flat road, after a vigorous burst of acceleration, with the speed limiter set to 40kph (max). Neither time did I get any "overload" sound alert, but I've realized that my machine no longer makes any sounds at all. I don't know why; I didn't use the erase functionality of the app and I didn't turn the volume all the way down. Has anybody else's tail light stopped working?

soulson Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It's not the volume slider. I didn't turn it all the way down, and when my sounds still worked, the over speed alert was always loud, even with the slider turned down. Now, I don't even get the over speed alert when lifting the wheel off the ground and letting it race to shutdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha I feel you - I wasted 3 hours once, using alcohol (recommended) and a hair dryer (not really recommended) It's not bad when you use the original 3M tape for few days, but after few months... it's a pain to get it off Edited June 7, 2018 by Justina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
