Everyone one who began to read this article must have seen or heard about such a vehicle as electric unicycle. Looking at a person moving on this, at first glance, "circus" projectile, there is a single association in the heads of otheres- the clown!
In this article, I propose to look at the electric unicycle rom the other side.
To begin with, let's look at the first and main stereotype: electric unicycles are dangerous.
Frankly, I myself had such an opinion. And it was useless to convince me otherwise. Looking ahead, I will say that I drove more than 3000 km on the electric unicyclein 2018. During this time I changed 4 models, each time buying a model with an even greater power reserve.
But let's order.
When you first look at theelectric unicycle , without exception, everyone is sure that with keeping the rider from falling forward / backward, the device can barely cope with the slightest irregularity and it will stumble.
Returning to my personal electric unicycle history, I will say that I was exhausted by trying to persuade me to try a new-fashioned electric unicycle transport; I refused. At that time I was driving a powerful electric bicycle, leaving the traffic lights at the level of motorcycles.
One day, my friend, a unicycle rider, jokingly offered to drive and claimed that his small 17kg KingSong KS-16S accelerates almost as much as my “cool bike”.
The desire was easy, as it seemed to me, a way to win the race and, finally, to get rid of persuasion to stand on theelectric unicycle, made me agree.
Of course, I won the race, but how!
On overclocking, the unicycle produces 3500W, and my bike is about 5000W, but it weighs several times heavier.
As a result, up to 30 km / h we walked on an equal footing, while the front wheel of my “bike” was raised. Only fleet allowed me to leap ahead. It was a shock.
On the same day, I received my first lesson of riding the electric unicycle, a few days later- the second, and more or less I confidently rode it. Just a few days later in October 2017 I already bought my first 14 "KinSong KS-14D" electric unicycle on trial."
The sample "lasted about 200 km, and it was in winter on the snow. I especially liked to go to remote stores, and to return with two packages in my hands.
After that, I was finally convinced of the correctness of the choice of the vehicle, I sold the first electric unicycle, bought the second one- 16 "KingSong KS-16S. The actual range at a speed of 30-35 km/h was more than 50 kilometers.
The speed quickly became boring, because my daily route runs along two parks, where there are practically no people and you can accelerate. After about 700 km of run, at the moment when the thirst to ride a little faster and a little further was unbearable, the electric unicycle 8 "KingSong KS-18L appeared on the market.
It is almost twice as powerful as the previous one, faster and with a more capacious battery. From July to September 2018 I hit it more than 2000km. I participated a lot of times in Elektroclub rides with routes of 30-50km, and it was always on one charge.
By the end of the second thousand, since I began to ride more, I began to miss the power reserve again.
And now I am the owner of KingSong KS-18Xl, with a power reserve of one and a half times more than the previous one.
As you have noticed, the addiction to the electric unicycle developed rather quickly, the “dose” had to be constantly increased.
In just two exits this winter at -10, I managed to wind 100km along the snow-covered paths of Izmailovsky Park, and Elk Island Park, with a group of like-minded people.
And if after opening this article, you waited for the description of the bitter fate of a person who had bought the electric unicycle and was disappointed, injured or got into an accident, in other words, you were waiting for the statement that the electric unicycle s dangerous to life and health – congratulations!You have a common stereotype that unfortunately, as I believe, will be supported by the majority of readers like you in the comments.
In reality, the only safety rule that must be strictly observed when riding the electric unicycle is not to ignore the speed limit and the overspeed signal, for my electric unicycle l it is 50km / h and about 4500W. I bet that with such a power and with less too,it is unlikely that it would happen to accidentally fall from the unicycle forward. And to do this on purpose,you will have to try. Did I fall? Yes, twice, and both times not through my fault or the fault of the electric unicycle , in the same way or even stronger, I would have flopped on the bike, for example.
In general, gentlemen, be careful,
Electric unicycles are dangerous because they are addictive!
A “drug” such as an electric scooter, or a bicycle does not help.
And the worst thing is that electric unicycles are sold without a prescription! And even confident drivers of electric scooters and motorists addiction it after the first “dose”.
