So I finally tried to get out and about (rather than up and down the backgarden) on the wheel properly for the first time today.....well i didnt get very far unfortuately as soon as i started getting some speed up (bear in mind its ltd to 2.5 mph at mo! and tho you can feel it even before) the wheel just wobbles uncontrolably and as my balance isnt that great on the wheel at the moment it just throws me off. Any suggestions on how to fix my wheel as i think it must need straightening or something?

Hi i was hoping for some advice on protective wear for riding my Unicycle.

Specifically hand and wrist protection.

I was considering buying a full core pad set with wrist guards (as i also need the knee and elbow pads also) and then try to find some full fingered gloves to fit over those (north shore gloves maybe).

However ive also seen gloves with built in wrist guards like the hillbilly and flatland 3d models.

So before i kick out the cash what hand wrist protection do you guys wear or recommend to give the best budget ish protection (ideally less that £60) to give the most protection and comfort when out and about on your wheel?

Hoping to get some help/advice from you lovely peoples on here. Im a total electric unicycle noob and i need a bit of advice.
I recently got this doer upper Ninebot one E+.

Any technical info (on the app or from ninebot) seems sparse (it didnt come with a manual) at best tho the youtube Speedy feet channel has been a god send for sure.

So the main things im struggling with right now are

1. How do i put the wheel in carry mode when turned on. I pick it up and the wheel still spins theres supposed to be an option to stop the wheel spinning somewhere on the app but i have no clue.

2. Black box thingy on app. I access it and all i ever see is a buffer signal, not sure what its for tbh

3. How do you turn the damn thing off. I can turn it on easily and then it takes me ages to figure out how to get it off again. Does the wheel need to be vertical to turn off?

4. Why cant i change the country from USA to UK on the app. It made me have to sign up USA.

Also as another thought has anyone had a replacement tyre made by the green tyre company? https://www.greentyre.com/
I had them make wheels for my bike as i was fed up as hell about all the punctures i was getting all the time and with a heavy beast unicycle it could be a long walk home if you get a flat in it.

ps whats the deal with that valve positioning haha

Ive had to order a valve extender, hopefully that should allow me to put enough air in the tyre before its flat again trying to remove the pump from the valve.

All in all im very much looking forward to getting going on my first electric unicycle but the waiting for stuff to get going is killing me right now.
