I will! I already ordered power pads for it (leg grips) and full motorcycle gear lol, I might be going a bit overkill out of the gate but better safe than broken.
So far I don’t feel like I need them. I’ll probably wait a while to install them, because of that other user’s advice about being able to jump off easier if needed.
I will say, it’s SUPER fun to ride. Holy cow. 1 hour of practice and I was off. I wish I could skip work and ride all over town tomorrow
Yeah, I feel like I’d kill myself trying to ride an EUC haha. I kind of want to get a Monowheel but they are expensive: For that much I would probably just get a nice ebike.
Hey I just got it today and I put some baby-corner-protectors all over it to protect it from dropping. Turns out I didn’t need them because I didn’t drop it and was up and riding all around my block within an hour.
It’s super fun. I just found a new passion.
I think I probably picked it up faster than most people because of all my skateboarding. I feel like it uses similar balance, somehow (doesn’t make sense but trust me). But it truly doesn’t seem that hard. Just start out in a hallway until you have the basics down and then you’re off to the parking lot.
Turning and starting are the hardest parts, but not very hard.
No such thing. In anticipation of my first EUC, I bought a Motocross Full Face Helmet to use on my e-scooter and I’ll be getting elbow/knee-shin protection as well.
Never tried one but that looks pretty cool! Let us know how it goes. Impressive range!

What are leg grips exactly?

I can’t vouch for it yet though, ask me again in a few weeks after I’ve got them installed and fully tested
I will say that the seller was very nice though
Hmm, so they kinda help you control it and stay on it better?
Yep exactly, also if you hit a bump and get “bounced” they help you stay on, supposedly
We look forward to your field reports! Good luck and stay safe!

Just ride it around work lol
How hard are they to ride? The compactness and range of it looks kind of great but it seems like it would have a steep learning curve.
I’ll let you know when it gets here on Monday. But it really doesn’t seem that bad:

It looks super fun

https://youtu.be/mqrG2bk7eBc one of these?
Lol I can’t help but think about that episode of south part where the teacher invents one of these.
I bet it’s fun though
Haha, it’s more like a skateboard with one big wheel in the middle

Ah, yeah you threw me off with calling it mono wheel.
One wheels are awesome and I’d love one. I’d go for the PintX since I heard the XR has a lot of problems.
My bad, I don’t know a ton about these yet but they seem fun.

Oh wow, really? I figured learning a unicycle would be totally different from skateboarding. Now I kinda want to try one out…
Hope you’ll keep us updated. Happy riding and stay safe!
Yeah it’s weird, I think it uses the same balance as when you balance your front foot while pushing on a skateboard.
I wish I could call out of work and ride it more right now

Nice, which helmet did you end up going with?
Alpinestars 5M5 with 100% goggles.
Cheers thanks, looks good
I’ve been helmet shopping
