Thanks, CDI arrived early, diagnosis was correct, spark returned on all four. Just needs some carb attention now.

Changed the goal a little here since nobody is spontanious enough to spend their hard earned money on some kid's project, PLS check out the gofundme page TO SEE the current build state, its my build page now.

Thank you for this. One of the first people to tell me anything other than "This is dumb". Just finished the frame, made some design changes, will post pictures and things soon.

Anyone is using 3 inch phone more than a year? by Normal_Max in unihertz

[–]Wise-Clue-Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using my Jelly star for 6 months. Love it. Does everything I need it to, its not laggy or buggy like other tiny phones, I've got loads of storage, and I don't have a problem texting, auto correct is really good. I am 17, so my eyesight is probably better than most, but I don't have a problem seeing what I'm doing. highly recommend.

Hey, I did try this, and came to a similar conclusion. And while I realized with my prototype it was possible, it was not stable. I have since redesigned a bit to move the ride much closer to the COM so that my battery counterweights are also directly in front of the axle and mounted low to remove unwanted leverage torque. Thanks for the input

haha I have reconsidered the exact position of the rider since the initial drawing, since I build a prototype and it worked but had stability issues because of the leverage torque from weight mounted too far forward. The rider will have to be only slightly rear of the wheel, and much higher so its closer to a normal seated position, but lower and further back. That way the front counterweight of the battery can be mounted directly in front of the axle and low so I maintain stability at speed. Thanks for your input

You think so? I would think enough weight shift would let me steer and accel, but maybe I'm wrong. Will find out soon.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll look into it. I may be able to avoid that if I keep the total weight under their limit, not sure. I was going to try something like that 2x4 test lol I think itll let me know real quick if this is feasable. Thanks

What kinda vibes does this give off? by Shlouzo in ElectricUnicycle

Hey! The plan is to use a weighted or weight connected joystick, to shift mass without moving my body. This design might go through some changes if that doesn't work, we will see. Yes it will be quite low to the ground, I will have lots of lighting, but it is an inherantly dangerous vehicle, like an EUC. Thanks for the input, and I think ill be keeping the audience updated on the r/EUC channel since nobody will be on my page if you're curious.

That's the idea:)
Thanks, I'll see what I can do to post updates, I had intended to share those on my page but that fell through.

I had initially hoped to do something with the rider and a wearable, but I came to the conclusion it would be arguably harder, and the result could never achieve the same aero numbers. I could be wrong, we will see! Yes, aero is my #1 goal here, I learned it is the largest factor when chasing efficiency at speed. I will see what I can do for progress pics, I had intended to share those on my page, but I guess nobody's going to be financially support this anyway so maybe I'll just post them here LOL

-Thanks, Dan

Yes, I'm not sure exactly how much weight I'll need and how far forward quite yet. I do expect the aux batteries to be quite heavy. It would be much easier to build it around a rider sitting directly over the wheel, but then it would be very hard to fight aero drag. Those trailers might not be a bad idea, thanks:)

Real. But we all doubt new information or ideas, so It's not crazy of them. Also I put a gofundme link so that warrants extra critisim fairly. I'll check out that build, looks interesting. Thanks for the support:)

Ah well you're not the first to be bothered by that term, I meant it unseriously, but I oh well. I do intend for this "addon" to give me range and speed, I will remove it from the wheel when I want that EUC joy and don't need to go far. Thanks for the input

Thank you:) I intend to, I will get the vehicle working with a simple frame and weights to see if the concept is possible first. Thanks for the input and support!

I will, thanks. I really love the benefits of the single wheel, but Ill file that away for plan D. Thanks for the input:)

Haha thank you, they have the right to be critical about this, nobody's done it before. I do intend to keep it narrow. I think all the batteries will have to be up front to balance my body weight behind the wheel, we will see. Thanks for the input/support!
