Look mom, no hands!! Man Beats Gas Prices with Electric Unicycle (ya'll know I'm a Space Cowboy too)

Tried out Sandy Hill LandsDown Skatepark in Baltimore today but was stuck on my old e+ because I killed my S18 before entering the park. The S18 is fine now after getting plugged into the charger it now powers up again. I would have made the 8" Curb Climb if the S18 didn't cut out on it.

More typical of commuting on EUC!

Last week here in big bear I saw a guy riding a gas powered one wheeled motorcycle at like 60 mph...

Wow, that's awesome! The top speed I know of is Vee riding an MSX100v like my wheel. She hit 53mph. And Kevin of Alien Rides rode a prototype Begode Master to I think it was 56 mph.

The new Inmotion V13 is reportedly capable of 65mph with an 80mph "free spin" but without suspension that's useless/deadly.

I've riden 100 mph wheelies on my EBR 1190sx (Erick Buell Racing, 200hp in 400lbs wet... seen one do 8.99s 1/4 mile). That bike is what convinced me I wanted some more unicycle practice and woh found my 1st Electric Unicycle. That's when I got my 1st Electric Unicycle (EUC). The Segway Ninebot One e+. Its got over 1000 miles on it now (top speed only 12 mph). Had it out for a friend today and was going to use my S18 suspended wheel for the skatepark till I did a curb-climb with it and it cut-out till home charger-reset. So this was today on the e+:



Since then I don't like handlebars. :D

Comment: We don't ride to be eco-friendly. But wow we quickly notice how bad roads are for bicycles, PEVs and Electric Unicycles.

Move over e-bikes, electric unicycles gaining ground on Vancouver streets

Tony Davies was also an early EUC adopter, although, at age 73, he is not typical of riders who tend to skew younger.

I just got Great news from Alian Rides. They're swapping out my controller and batteries with their spare wheel. They hope to settle up with Kingsong when they get done being locked down. (doomie in a doom break thread, lol).

Here's a vid from my commute when my S20 was working.
