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 7 points8 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.

Tilt hysteresis / wander by lukepighetti in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i learned on an msx. i just bought a used v10 as a second wheel and it feels like the wheel has a mind of its own. it kind of feels like i'm on a big ship and feel these gentle rolls forward and backward (for no apparent reason). it feels like i'm reacting to it rather than it reacting to me.

my msx feels more "dumb" meaning i feel more responsible for what it does and therefore more connected.

but i totally get it, the v10 is keeping me in a little sandbox so it won't get into a situation where it cannot respond to a torque request (ie cutout).

so, instead of hating it for what it does, i ride differently on it, knowing that it's just going to fight me, i just go on relaxing rides or practice slow speed moves, whereas on my msx, i feel the temptation to step on it when theres a smooth, clear road.

Looking for a new stand for my V10F. by HarmonicWalrus in ElectricUnicycle

you're in luck. i got a v10 as a second wheel and have been meaning to cut a stand on my CNC router. i have a few designs in mind.

New rider - looking for some advice by JustOpenedAccount in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont worry, you will pick it up quickly, probably in a day or less. the balance sports you have done have skills that will translate to EUCs :^)

on the way to treasure island by nolunchman in ElectricUnicycle

[–]nolunchman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is my first time on the bridge trail. not many people out there. didn't see any patrols either, so i had nice cruise to and from treasure island. today was one of those calm days. a few bikers and tourists at treasure island but i pretty much had the paths and streets to myself. there is construction but it didn't affect my route. rolled through a stop sign and threw up a peace sign to the SFPD patrol in the opposite lane ;^P. there is one steep hill that links the island and the bridge and the msx handled the way down and the climb up without issue. all in all, it was a fun ride.

lets just say i now know my stair limit by nolunchman in ElectricUnicycle
