Good to know about the sound. Did you happened to see my flyby video? Maybe you could record a similar shot so we can hear how yours sounds in comparison. Is your trolley handle rotating joint tight, or loose like mine was? It's unfortunate that with all the loooong hype about this wheel, Inmotion wasn't able to effectively schedule the app work so that new owners had something to configure their wheel with. That would bother me. I hear one to two weeks which probably means two to four weeks. Good info on your version's pedals. I really don't have enough experience yet with this to comment more on them. Only about 5 km. I'm now editing the video and you will hear the sound then. My trolley handle has a bit loose joint, yes. Not a big deal for me at this point. You are most likely correct about that time estimate. Software is always like that. But let's hope you are wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once read an interview with a rock climber whose finger was "de-gloved" (that's what they call it) in a fall because it got caught in a carabiner. The pictures of the guy's hand were quite horrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I learnt how even a seemingly harmless phone in your pocket can become a murderous weapon against your body in a crash, I'm very cautious about such things.

How bad could it be and what can possibly go wrong.... @Rehab1 as you can see above your tip guided me to find it at a fair price.

I would never dare to wear something like that. I just performed some rudimentary calculations. Based on the bell’s weight, dimensions, exact placement of the device on my hand combined with the approximate gravitational acceleration of 9.764 m/s on my body mass it appears the aerodynamic drag of the bell, when attached to my left hand, would have created an external force influencing my upper extremity to change velocity and direction causing rotational inertia. If my calculations are ? correct I would have butt planted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really looks like they scored with this one, I hope they can produce enough. And a Decent App? I consider the App quite important so I hope it is really nice on iOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you wear the bell in a nechless?...don't attach horns on your helmet...if you do you multiple the risk 20 time get a new job as a carlogo on the can hood and number. In Danish and Swedish too I believe car number translated is cow catcher or cow shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jeffrey Scott Will Posted May 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2018 @UniVehje App should be about a week out now (not 3 or 4 weeks) but we can probably get you in on the Beta version next week if it's not out by then. Same goes for anyone receiving their V10F next week here in the states - we should be able to get you the Beta so you can unlock the speed etc. One of us will make a post next week about it to update you all and figure out how to roll it out. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 170 cm tall and if the wheel was 5cm/2 inches taller I could walk it by standing straight and holding wheel up with a straight arm. It really needs to be only 1/2 of it's current height. The trolley handle: This is exactly what I thought, SILLY high. I think it could be 1/3 it’s length. Maybe we can cut it down.

Maybe we can cut it down. I didn't find this the case at all. It doesn't need to be that tall for most people, but it doesn't strike me as tall or inappropriate. If it was half the height, I don't think you'd have enough control over it while pushing it around. The longer curve it has now gives you something to twist when needed. ?♂️ I do prefer the built-in design on V8, but not enough to make the machine any wider.

When you get a chance please try out the BT sound system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchet Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Ugh! I see you ran into those two-wheel riding freaks (shudder!). These people have no shame, flouting their depraved two-wheel lifestyle on our "proper" one-wheel children right out in the open! I'll be the one to say it, damn the consequences! Bicycling is not natural! Not in a world where we have EUCs! At least have the decency to use an electric bike! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
