The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

My first wheel. The impressions are very strong, as if you were on a snowboard for the first time or you can’t walk again, but you learn quickly, looking at the familiar landscape of the city in a new way. I do not regret that I chose this one after reviewing many reviews. Wheels are definitely not for everyone.

Falls are inevitable, but if I had been more careful, I could have prevented many scratches on the body and handle on the first day of riding. You really need to learn how to manage it, like any other unicycle. Learning to ride asphalt is a bad idea, you need something smoother: an indoor spacious room is better.

I thought that by riding a wheel I would free my hands for a wardrobe trunk with a guitar, but it turned out to be an illusion: while riding, my hands balance and there can be no talk of any load in them. Even looking at the phone is risky.

Pros

1. I feel it is reliable. It never behaved unpredictably, it never turns off while driving. 2. Comfortable platform while riding, ergonomically designed. My legs do not hurt, I put self-adhesive ankle pads and it became even more comfortable. Learned to ride easily from YouTube videos, but don't think you can get up and ride it. 3. Lantern for night trips. Useful, does not blind passers-by. 4. Convenient sleep mode button, which you press by hand, lifting the wheel by the handle. Can be turned off when learning to ride with a belt. 5. Easily overcomes obstacles up to 3 cm up and down to 15 cm. Generally manageable, if not heroic and take the time to do single leg exercises and twists.

Cons

1. The glossy case is instantly covered with scratches, so you need to buy a case right away. 2. The handle is purchased separately, and without it, you need to carry 12 kg in your hands, or bend over to the ground to roll it. In addition, the handle in the open position allows you to lean the wheel against the wall. On the platforms, you should not leave it on the floor, it will fall. And I don't want to lay flat. 3. Terrible application that does not give statistics in kilometers, and which can only be used when the wheel is connected to it via bluetooth. Those who made the application did not understand at all why it was needed.
