Opportunity to ride the Sherman and KS-S18

You are totally responsible for your wheel and yourself during this entire time, this is simply a meet up of like minded riders and a chance to meet each other.

Couple of rules: 

1. No going flat out around walkers, bikers, dogs etc
2. No music blaring out your machines (this is my home turf, don't want to be hated by the locals who love it so far).

What do you guys and gals think? The new KS-S18 Electric Unicycle.

Taken from the Speedy Feet website:

"Brand new from Kingsong, the KS-S18.

84v system with 1110wh battery. Top speed of 31mph (50km/h). With a 2200w this machine will provide plenty of torque. Comes with a slightly more powerful charger this time around with a 84v 2.5amp output. Giving you 1amp more than previous chargers.

Weighing in at 22kg this is actually a pretty lightweight machine for what it offers.

It can climb up to 40˚ and has a tire size of 18x3.0 which seems to be traditional now for wheels of this size.

Max official rider weight of 120kg"

Full run down on which electric unicycle is best for you. The wheel you choose Is not the same for everyone, its different for every person, so sit down, grab a cuppa and answer these questions if you are in the market for a new wheel. We have covered as many points as possible.

With the announcement of the InMotion V11 electric Unicycle fitted with suspension, what do you people think of the idea of having suspension on an electric unicycle?

I can see massive benefits for curb drops, super bumpy ground and possibly for getting a lift on for jumping over/on top of obstacles. 

Edit: Photo for the new KS-S18

Only thing that concerns me is will it need more maintenance? And if that means tearing it down regularly then that could be a problem. But thats pure guess work...I guess we will see what the 1000km brings.

But whats your take on it?

Jacob learns to ride! Yay!

There are a lot of models out there from Gotway, we thought to help you lot out we would post up in a single thread all the control boards (at time of writing...bound to be more later!)

As you might guess from the title this is about 'Wobbles'. There are 2 forms.

Speed Wobble

A speed wobble is a wobble you get when riding, its usually when you are going up to the area where you are not used to going that quickly.

Most often this occurs with new riders, or even riders who have been riding years but get on a faster machine than they are used to.

The best way of solving this issue is to ride up to a speed where the wobble starts, then back off a little, then, build back up to the speed again, and repeat the process; through this practice you will eliminate the wobble.

Also an important part to the process is being relaxed (which is what practice does - it makes you more relaxed as you get acustomed to the feel of the wheel). Breathing deeply is a good way of smoothing out the wobble.

Braking Wobble

Now there is a wobble under heavy braking AKA a 'Braking Wobble'. This is usually because under these conditions your body is much more ridged. But it can also be foot positioning; if one foot is slightly more forward it can cause uneven pressure when harshly leaning backwards. NOTE: foot positioning rarely applies to a 'Speed Wobble'
