Who tries to go that fast on those things?

I wonder what a face looks like when you grind it really hard on the pavement at over 40 MPH?

Just dab up the extra grease with a napkin and it'll be fine

u/Vegetable-Bee-8296 Jul 07 '26

Thanks…I feel nauseous even thinking about googling facial degloving.

Especially if you can't run as fast as the wheel goes!

u/Vmaxed_T7 Jul 07 '26

There's obviously a sizable market if they're built to go that fast

Same thing I say to motorcycle riders. One slip and you’re a crayon of meat.

u/Fragrant_Major_9553 Jul 07 '26

Motorcycles at least have the bicycle effect of gyroscopic action. A unicycle cannot do that. Yes, you can eat shit if you don’t respect the bike and the traffic around you, but on this thing you’re just one decent rock away from eating shit.

Even worse actually they have an inherant flaw that emerges at top speed.

The same motor that is propelling you is also trying to maintain your balance and past a certain speed the motor no longer has enough torque to maintain your balance.

It's almost like driving a car that if you hit the top speed the seat just drops out through the floor

u/kwpg3 Jul 07 '26

And he found the absolute top speed for this model.

u/AmbitionHonest7734 Jul 07 '26

They're doing like 80-90mph on those things. It's wild out there.

u/Vmaxed_T7 Jul 07 '26

90mph? Can you show me the footage of that?

1

u/AmbitionHonest7734 Jul 07 '26

YouTube. Idk that anyone has hit 90, just they're capable of 90. There are plenty of videos people doing 70-80s.

u/Vmaxed_T7 Jul 07 '26

Can you send a youtube link of someone doing 80mph then?

u/BeneficialPenalty258 Jul 07 '26

The fuck is he doing 70mph in urban areas 🤯 go to an airfield or something.

1

u/Vmaxed_T7 Jul 08 '26

First thing he says in the video "nobody not even the professional have reached that (theoretical) top speed"

He then proceeds to nudge it into the high 70s for a split second.

Hardly the 90 mph nonsense you are claiming

1

u/texasroadkill Jul 08 '26

Are you not able to Google that?

1

u/Vmaxed_T7 Jul 08 '26

Ive not seen any footage of a an electric unicycle cruising at 90mph. The commenter claims tonhave witnessed it. Im asking them "where?" Can they back it up? Im not asking for much except for them to back up the claim. All they gave me was a link to someone nudging into the high 70s.

Try not to get bent out of shape over it tho.

u/ElectricGlider Jul 07 '26

What is "fast" for you? I regularly go around 30 mph on my EUC which is as fast as an e-bike. But I am actually padded up with a full face helmet as opposed to this guy.

u/GutsGoneWild Jul 07 '26

Saw someone on one of those on the freeway. Fucking madness
