Anyone else on this forum played around with electric unicycles?
I recently bought one with the intention of using it as my primary commute to work (2.5km one way).
So far it has taken me the better part of the weekend to get on the thing, and actually ride along. Started off practicing next to a wall/railing for a couple of hours, then graduated to an astro-turn area (especially helpful with not having to worry about scratching the unicycle when bailing off it). After an hour or two, I then graduated to a parkade, where I learnt how to handle gradients.
After Saturday's rigorous practice, I decided that I was confident enough to hit the promenade in Seapoint which was great fun.
Today was the first day that the toy became a tool, as I used it on my commute, with only a few minor issues. Overall, I am really happy with the unicycle, though I can definitely see myself upgrading to a bigger and better model soon.
