How hard are they to ride? The compactness and range of it looks kind of great but it seems like it would have a steep learning curve.

Hey I just got it today and I put some baby-corner-protectors all over it to protect it from dropping. Turns out I didn’t need them because I didn’t drop it and was up and riding all around my block within an hour.

It’s super fun. I just found a new passion.

I think I probably picked it up faster than most people because of all my skateboarding. I feel like it uses similar balance, somehow (doesn’t make sense but trust me). But it truly doesn’t seem that hard. Just start out in a hallway until you have the basics down and then you’re off to the parking lot.

Turning and starting are the hardest parts, but not very hard.

Oh wow, really? I figured learning a unicycle would be totally different from skateboarding. Now I kinda want to try one out…

Hope you’ll keep us updated. Happy riding and stay safe!

Yeah it’s weird, I think it uses the same balance as when you balance your front foot while pushing on a skateboard.

I wish I could call out of work and ride it more right now

I’ll let you know when it gets here on Monday. But it really doesn’t seem that bad:

Yeah, I feel like I’d kill myself trying to ride an EUC haha. I kind of want to get a Monowheel but they are expensive: For that much I would probably just get a nice ebike.

Lol I can’t help but think about that episode of south part where the teacher invents one of these.

I bet it’s fun though

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
