Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

The wheel is happy as an elephant. In general, unicycles are the most convenient form of transport in the city. Hands free - you can go with a pino colada in one hand, and dialing SMS on the phone with the other (I was driving somehow from a corporate party. Why the best? - Hands are busy on a scooter, if you go far, you get tired of holding on to the steering wheel, entertain yourself without options. And scooters are much more bulky both for storage and for transportation up stairs and in the subway. Again, the diameter of the unicycle makes its cross-country ability very powerful, better than that of scooters - A bicycle, even with an electrode drive, is also too bulky. Like a scooter, only worse - there is just something to sit on and the patency is a little better. The wheel itself does not cause any complaints - I ride without protection, maneuverability is at a height, if I need to rustle more than 30 kilometers around the city, I throw charging into my backpack (by the way, quite heavy) and just recharge somewhere on the spot or in a cafe. Again, about protection - before the recent flight forward on the pavement, I thought that it might be worth taking something more powerful already, but after (I still ride without protection) I began to ride a little slower and stopped thinking about it altogether. In short - the wheel is an excellent balance of performance and price. Suitable for the beginning and not frustrating in the sequel. The strength of the wheel is also on top - there were quite a few cases when I or someone dropped it. There were cases when I stormed some curb, rotted and jumped off the wheel, and it flew just a free somersault on the road ahead. Well, he scratches, well, he digs - nothing in him broke from this. All displays, buttons, ports are intact, nothing cracked. The thing is indestructible. I did manage to break the tire by jumping once again from a high curb (I weigh 85 kg), I replaced the camera, I ride further - everything is ok.

Pros
  • - Develops enough speed - Lightweight compared to peers - Beautiful - Durable - Unpretentious - Good mileage - Powerful even on low battery - Excellent uphill acceleration - Due to the 16 radius of the wheel, it perfectly swallows any bumps and runs into obstacles of 3-4 centimeters. I personally jumped off the wheel and from 10 centimeters, it takes some skill, but in general not a problem.
Cons
  • - No protection for plastic from falling out of the box, if you want to keep the perfect look after some incidents - you need to buy covers or protective tapes. Plastic of course scratched with a bang. - The handle for rolling it is not included, it costs 4k separately, I didn’t buy it anyway, it’s not that it’s mortally needed, but it’s a pity for the money. - An unpleasant moment - if you sleep hard in a hole, then it can turn off thinking that something is not normal. And so, once in 2 years of use, I grabbed the asphalt with my face, flying into the pit at full speed - I got out of the pit on wheels, but the wheel decided to turn off. Solution - do not drive on rough roads, getting into a hole not at the maximum speed will not provoke such a situation.
