And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

INMOTION V13 (Full Send Street Riding) Technical Fast Electric Unicycling
Optimum age 13 to 17 while you still know you're superman. By 18 you start to realize the world is full of Kryptonite and that stuff can hurt, or worse.
He spends a lot of time saying how 51, 52, 54 mph is fast and stable and he sees no need to go faster, maybe 57 or 58, or maybe even open up that 60 mph limiter.
Sure, kid, don't worry. You'll be just as dead when you land on your head at 51 mph.
I never could get the hang of unicycles, the pedal kind. Just couldn't crack the code and didn't have the passion, so I gave up trying. Of course, I was 12, so......
Sophisticated selfie stick. Invisible to itself. No, I don't know how it works, either. Asked someone who does these kinds of vids. If you watch carefully, you see him adjust it occasionally.
Actually stopping is easy.. just lean back. I've got so much older model.. V8 equivalent.. max speed so far is 10.. anything slower is unstable.. still learning.. and oh, age is 62.. never stop leaning new things! I doubt I'll care about going too ,much faster, and I'm taking learning it real slow. Everyone plays their own game at their own speed.
Note that these things are intelligent.. think the self balancing like the segways.. but you only get that to the front to back.. side to side balance is an operator problem.. very much like learning to ride a bike all over again.
Very interesting and looks like a lot of fun. Maybe if I was in my teens or twenties I'd give it a try! (Probably a good thing that I'm not!)
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Riding 50 mph on a motorized unicycle sounds like something a younger person would pursue.
DeleteI'll second that.
DeleteAs George Burns sang: I wish I was eighteen again.

DeleteI want.
ReplyDeleteAre there training wheels available for it?
ReplyDeleteRear view mirrors too?
DeleteInmotion has a version with two wheels.. reportedly much easier to get over the learning curve but of course slower
DeleteNope.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see him brake... hard.

Walk with an assegai for when you run into one of them.
ReplyDeleteMy only question is, how in the heck did they film it. Must be a really sophisticated drone?

DeleteAnd did you see him blow off the red light?
Immortality. Use it or lose it.
I want to see him stop.

DeleteI have trouble enough on 2 wheels, thanks.
