FAQ

Electric unicycle is the dream of urban transportation, this is the kind of transportation that sci-fi movies in the 80’s portrayed. Light, compact, fast personal transport that can take you almost anywhere in the city and you can take it with you anywhere as well. You can go to a meeting, to the shop, commute to work, or go to the bar in the evening -all on a EUC and you will not have to leave it on the street, it is compact enough, that you can take it with you.

Moreover – commute is only a small part of what EUC can do for you. Leisure riding and exploring new grounds, skill exercises, extreme jumps, if you are into that, are also possible. And by buying an electric unicycle you are joining one of the best communities out there – you can expect great support on forums, group rides, new friends and much more.

Modern unicycles have around 30 – 150 Km of range depending on the model. But with LI-Ion batteries that most of the electric unicycles utilize these days we advise you not to use all the juice from the battery to the last drop. If you want to prolong the life of your electric unicycle battery we suggest you charge it as often as you can, after every ride and try not to let the battery drop below 20%. And never store discharged electric unicycle for prolonged periods of time.

You can make quite simple calculations – look at the battery size of your electric unicycle, if its battery size is 1600wh it will consume around 1,6kwh for the full charge. So, if the price in your area for electricity is 0,14 Eur for 1 kwh, it means that full charge will cost around 0,22 Eur, and usually this will be enough for a 100km ride on average city speeds.

Of course, there are purchase costs and maintenance, but this is true for any personal transport, and compared to the petrol prices – electricity costs are almost negligible.

During the storage main thing to worry about is the battery. And for the LI-Ion battery, the best way to store is the temperature 0 - 25°C and charge level around 60-70%. This is the best charge level to store, but even if it is fully charged, it is not as bad as low charge, 20% or less is really critical for the battery.

If you are experienced enough and ride electric unicycle for some time – almost every possible surface will be good for you – city roads, forest trails, parks, beach and even mountain trails – experienced riders ride everywhere.

Electric unicycle can ride up to and down from almost any reasonable hill. Bloggers test electric unicycles, such as Inmotion V12 or Kingsong S20 on the slopes of 40° and trust us – you will never want to go up such a slope.

Curbs are different in height, so smaller ones you can really ride over – depending on the size of your electric unicycle, the wheel diameter allows to ride over small to medium curbs, with bigger ones we suggest you to stop and bring the unicycle over the curb, but later, with experience – you can start even jumping over them.

This is very personal setting, where you have to consider – your electric unicycle model, your weight, your experience on electric unicycle and other factors.

Generally, people pump up the wheel between 1,8 and 2,8 bars. For the beginner it is usually easier to ride on lower pressure than on higher. One of the main reasons to pump up more pressure is to ensure that you are not hitting the rim while riding over curbs and potholes. So, if this is your first electric unicycle we recommend to pump to around 2.2 bars and then go from there.

It is important to check the pressure regularly as it influences your safety.

The “cut off” of electric unicycle means that it was overpowered and turned itself off. This can result in fall and damage to the wheel and the rider. Always use safety gear when using the EUC.  Under normal use unicycle has plenty of power in reserve for any unexpected bump or hill. Majority of such accidents happen when rider chooses wrong speed for the battery level and ignores warnings from the wheel.

Most of the electric unicycles have several protection levels to ensure that this will not happen to you, including – speed reduction on lower battery level, sound warnings and pedal lift. This is especially true for Kingsong and Inmotion wheels, that will not allow you to override the safety features. Begode wheels are meant for the more advanced users and user can change the safety limitations on his own, so you should be more careful with Begode wheels, keep track of your battery level at all times, choose your speed reasonably and respect the beeps.

This is one of the most common and also hard to answer questions. Of course, there are specs that factory gives us, and according to them some unicycles can go 100, 150, 200km on one charge.

And this is not a lie, they can really go that far, but… there are plenty of “buts” here. At what speed should you go to reach that range? What weight of the rider should be for this range to be feasible, in what weather conditions, on what surface… etc etc.

There are so many factors that influence range of the unicycle (or any electric transport for that matter) that no one can predict the real range in your individual situation. Factories are testing their wheels in ideal, far from real world conditions, so as general rule of thumb – if you are an average user who buys a 50km/h electric unicycle and rides with average speeds around 30km/h, you can multiply the range that is shown in specs by 0,7-0,75, and if you are fast rider, with higher weight you can multiply it by 0,5-0,6

Choosing protective gear is very individual matter, but we recommend to use the protective gear from the first day of your EUC journey.

If you don’t want to listen to the advice above, from our experience speeds below 15km/h allow rider to run off the unicycle without the fall, so some safety gear on such speeds can be ignored. On speeds 15-35km/h the roller blade type of protection – palms, knees, elbows + helmet are usually enough to protect you from most of the accidents.

On speeds 35km/h + and more over 50km/h+ you need motorsport type of protection and full-face helmet.

Even though, no factory will give you warranty from the water damage, and you are using the unicycle in rain on your own risk, a lot of riders use their unicycles in rainy weather and in most cases without any issues.

Modern electric unicycles are built with water protection in mind (some brands better then the other), but still factory water protection is never of the highest of levels, and if you plan to use your electric unicycle in the rain, maybe additional water protection is a good idea.

The most important parts to protect against moisture are mother board and batteries, and as motherboard is usually located on top of the unicycle – never put your unicycle on the side after you rode in rain – always dry it in standing position.

And if you want to wash your electric unicycle – try to use sponge more, not direct water, and avoid high pressure water, as this is the most dangerous.

Riding in winter is possible and you don’t need to skip half a year of riding. But there are some things to know before riding in winter.

• The battery is influenced by weather – the lower the temperature the less you can ride on one charge.
• Winter with snow means a lot of moisture – so you need to be extra careful or waterproof your unicycle.
• Take extra care of your unicycle after winter rides – salt and detergents on the streets as well as low temperatures can badly influence some part of the electric unicycle. Wash it carefully after such rides.
• Never store the unicycle in below freezing temperatures, and if it has been frozen – never ride it from the frozen state – when it starts to warm up, moisture can appear inside batteries and other metal electrical components, that can result in broken unicycle or even fire.

You can cancel a preorder by writing a request to info@oneride.eu with information about your preorder and reasons for canceling. Any preorder can be cancecled, but you need to take this part of our Terms and conditions into account:

Since the preorder is not a typical order, special rules apply. Preorder is an order of the product that is not currently in stock. The customer pays in full for the product and his product is reserved for him according to the line of preorders before him: the first one to preorder is the first one to receive the product.  If the batch is sold out, other customers are unable to preorder from this batch, the amount of units in one batch is always limited. Hence, for canceling a preorder we keep 10% of preorder amount. If a customer decides to change his order, to another unit in stock, or another preorder – 5% of initial preorder amount is held. Please take a note of this information before making a preorder.
