Personally, I carry my wheel a fair bit, up steps, past puddles, in stores, and so every pound counts. I don't need my wheel to also be a discotech and beer refrigerator just because it can. And I have no problem if anyone else wants their wheel to have a built in entertainment system, fridge and tanning bed. The more variety the more choice we have. I just don't think EUCers blasting out loud music in public is anything but selfish and yobbish and I think most people who experience it while out walking, cycling, playing with their kids, will agree. Forcing your music on everyone around you is just cu_ty and very uncivilised and short sighted unless you're 13 and don't know any better. We are trying/hoping to gain public acceptance and thus legality for our EUCs and annoying the public will do nothing positive for that cause. I also think only a small minority of EUC enthusiasts look for such a feature. I can however, easily picture Kasenutty riding down to the beer store with a large joint in his mouth, blasting out some excellent tunes and getting high-fived by all the locals on the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VX is a cooler marketing way of saying V10. What you want is the V10F aka VXF which is the highest spec'd version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think that naming it confusingly (as the above question shows, also VX is a nerve gas) instead of simply V10 is not ideal, but if the stupid iPhone does it, apparently so must everyone else. Let's just hope it does not have a stupid notch somewhere just for the sake of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooEUC Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, Marty Backe said: I'm not riding my EUC in a national park. Everywhere I ride (bike paths, local parks, etc.) has plenty of people playing their own music or making other noises that you won't hear in the back country of Alaska. Or the sound of traffic noises. So yeah, I 'blast' music out of my KingSong wheel or attached bluetooth speaker. I will turn it down or off when riding in town or through a populated park, etc. During our group rides we will also 'blast' music. It's actually very enjoyable - get it try some day. BTW, you can play motor sounds through the speakers too, to a horn that can be activated by my Pebble watch. Lots of potential uses. I for one like this feature and hope Gotway adds it some day too. It's a big plus for me. Just one persons opinion. No one mentioned national parks or the back country of Alaska, so using such extremes to add weight to your argument is silly. If what you said is true, you must ride in extremely populated locations full of people who aren't into being respectful of others and sharing space in a considerate way. I'm thankful I am not surrounded by such people where I ride. Apparently, literally everywhere you ride there are a large number of people "blasting" their own music out of their own speakers. And on top of that, you "blast" your own music out of your unicycle as you ride past them all. That has got to get tiresome. Or perhaps there's some exaggeration going on. Maybe it's an American thing. As I said, I do enjoy music when out riding, so I have tried it, but as I have respect for others, I use airpods so that my music is not inflicted on everyone around me who may be out hoping for a quiet walk along the river path or through the park. I don't know why the thought of personal music listening is so hard a concept to consider. You also get much better sound quality and can listen at low levels while being aware of everything around you. Meanwhile strangers get to enjoy their peaceful walks and dogs aren't as stressed as you go by. It's a win for everyone. Everyone has different tastes and trust me, most people you ride past have no interest in your choice of music and no interest in being subjected to it by a speeding unicycle. You should try earphones some time. They'll be big some day. Edited March 14, 2018 by RooMiniPro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esash Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It doesn't have to be music, or blasted. It could even be something like this alarm clock: "Open your eyes... Open your eyes... Open your eyes" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sidestreet Reny Posted March 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Imho the world is nothing without music....or without Harmony. I'm stoked I jus have the option...why be bummed? Especially when the rest of the wheel is going to be soooooooo sick!!! I am amped to try this thing because of the performance and durability....and the speakers will come in handy on the beach, at a picnic, gathering, freedom rally or any of the places that might benefit from some readily available music. Jus sayin. Edited March 14, 2018 by Sidestreet Reny 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's better to let people know a little ahead of launch yes the build up of excitement is great publicity and all, but if the product fails to meet the build up of expectations it might have the reverse effect on launch day. By giving the people details ahead of time you will get a lot more feedback whether it is positive or negative this still gives you a small amount of time to do small adjustments if necessary. The Inmotion loyalist will always buy your wheels but those sitting on the fence will have time to adjust expectations so by launch you might get a lot more people buying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
