First "real" motorized unicycle?

Wow, that is really cool! I would love to have a motorunicycle someday.
Wonder if he'll try and market and sell these....

That looks pretty cool! Of course, for $1500 one could buy several
human powered unicycles that are a lot more enjoyable to refuel. 😉

Yes, very cool. We need to get him to join the USA so he'll go to the
next convention. 🙂

His Eunicycle was mentioned back in 'August' (http://tinyurl.com/49swl)
but since then he's upgraded to a Version 2 and added a better video
clip to his web page.

I think there is nothing better than a traditional unicycle. I'm sure
that guy can't even ride a real unicycle. Besides, real unicycles use
energy, and you stay fit. The only cool motorized unicycles are those
ones that you sit inside the wheel behind a chevy big block V-8, now
thats cool. Not some wimpy little electric thing that goes like 5mph.
I just think it's a little rediculous.

Quoted message said:

-From Eunicycle website-
*You don't want to be learning how to control such a vehicle at the
same time as debugging it, so you really need to learn to ride a
regular unicycle first. I got a "United 24-inch Trainer for Extra
Large Adults" from Unicycle.com and spent a couple months learning to
ride it before I built the Eunicycle.*

He actually says in his right up that he bought a unicycle from

Funny that youa re so fast to pass judgement on someone before you even
read the site. That's pitiful.

Dylan's right. He says he could ride right at the beginning. It's a
pretty cool idea, and I imagine it's a bit different from normal riding.

Relax Evan. You are not one to go around being a forum cop, and another
thing is that there has only been 1 other thread on this stuff. People
usually only reccomend the search function when it's a common thread
such as hopping or "What if there were a freewheel unicycle" or "what's
an impossible wheel?".

That's fantastic! I think the scary thing about this whole concept
(particularly the concept of faster versions of these things) is that if
you ride it too close to the max speed and then lean too far forwards
you're in a whole heap of trouble! Except of course with this one as
you can see in the video, you're not going all that fast.

I think it's utterly amazing what this guy's managed to come up with.

It's relevant again and worthy of a new thread because he has recently
upgraded his Eunicycle to version 2 and made some other updates to his
web site. It's also incredibly cool.

are you guys JOKING?!?!?!?

this "unicycle" is pretty much self balancing!

Ok, I guess it would be fun, but I would not buy one for more than 300$
cad.

I think calling this the first "real" motorized uni is wrong, though -
just check out these: http://www.unicycling.org/btdt/unique.html (near
the bottom), http://www.jackiechabanais.com/the_monocycle.htm ,
http://www.marcomagia.fi/

my own design (to be built when I have some spare change) will be
controlled by your foot, not a gyro, and will be electric.

Even though it is self balancing it would still require balance and
control by the operator.

It would be interesting to see how difficult it would be to maintain a
spin with the Eunicycle. I wonder how long the spin could be maintained
and how tight the circles could be.

I also wonder how well it would idle.
