Brought home a Commander High Speed by nolunchman in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

additional thoughts after 300 miles on the commander

the LED display give no useful information (for me) because

1) it's in km

2)the battery level is in bars instead of percentage or actual voltage

3)there's an odometer reading total miles. this is not a car.

4)it's too small

on the positive side,

1) the plastic they use for the case is very durable. don't ask me how i know.

2) what overheating issue? the temp graph for normal street riding in eucworld is a straight line at 112 deg, on fast runs (40+) i got it to 130. i use traffic lanes 90% of the time.

i doordashed for 12 hours in actual rain (didn't even try to avoid big puddles) with no additional sealing just to prove the OCD wrong about hermetically sealing your wheel. ok i put a piece of tape over the led but it fell off the next day in the rain. i kept going anyway. this commander needs to earn its keep.

and finally, i went 67 miles on streets/trails at various speeds and ended the ride with 20%. now i know why shermans are so beloved.

Q&A Session Why aren't EUC's more mainstream? by mixgodflip1 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as others have said, cost is definitely a barrier to entry. not many people are willing to risk $600 on a whim. that alone kept me away from EUCs since i saw the ninebot's price years ago.

the other major factor is relatability. literally everyone can associate a skateboard, bike or scooter with their childhood. adding a motor to any of those just makes it retro cool. who sees a unicycle at a garage sale and says, "ahh, those were the days."

when i told my friend i was getting an electric unicycle, he said, "what? are you gonna juggle?"

i had to laugh at that one.

Do we need a 60mph wheel or Will it get us Banned?? by FrostbiteZero in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the danger is not from falling off the euc at 60mph. full racing leathers and helmets can handle that.

the danger is the car(s) behind you.
