This is the SoloBike, a one wheel self balancing "hoverboard" electric scooter/motorcycle/bicycle from Solocraft. Think of it like a seated electric unicycle. As you simply lean forward or back, it will accelerate or brake, keeping you balanced upright.
There's just a little assembly required, slide on a few washers, and tighten down the handlebars. Handle bar grips are comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. One button on the side to power on and off. Four LED's to indicate battery life. Inside is a 1,000 watt hub-motor, gyro stabilized. They say top rated distance is around 15-25 miles on a single charge (depending on many factors like rider weight, terrain, incline, etc.) I traveled over 7 miles in a single trip and only one LED light went down.
Design looks pretty cool and you'll definitely turn heads wherever you go, it looks like a riding vehicle from the future! It's semi-compact design, the pedals fold up, and can easily fit into the trunk of your car.
Learning to ride is "fairly" easy, you just need to put in a few hours of dedicated practice. I started out extremely wobbly in the beginning, only going a couple feet before having to rebalance or stabilize by placing my feet on the ground. Just keep going and going, and slowly you'll go farther and farther. After a few hours of solid practice (on and off throughout a week), I finally got it. Making wide or tight turns, fast or slow are all now possible. I can weave and pivot much easier, and riding hands-free is my favorite. (Actually feels a bit easier too.) Allowing your hands to be free to text, fly a drone, make calls, GPS navigation, sip your morning coffee... endless possibilities. :)
A few wishlist items:
-The built-in Bluetooth wouldn't connect to my Android devices, only iOS
-The hand grips tighten to the handlebars can be a bit fidgety, my right one cracked as I had to over tighten to lock it down. I was able to tweak and fix this
-The seat, though it's well cushioned, can sometimes become wobbly forward and back and your bottom is constantly shifting weight around while riding. The bolt nuts, even though locked down, can still become slightly loose over time. A better way of attachment would be great.
Overall though, riding the Solobike is a lot of fun! It really feels like an electric vehicle from the future. It could be great for daily commuters around the city, town, or college campus.. or running to the grocery store and making some errands. Or simply a fun vehicle for just cruising around.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more tech videos every week!
FYI, looks like they are out of business now. Site goes to a 'domain is available for purchase' page.
Wow! Living here in London I could see that being a great tool for local transportation. Parking just outside your destination or taking it on a train. I want one! $1000 is a bit much for now though so I'll have to wait till the early adopters have run their course and it comes in to my range at $500 (which I think would be about right).
Great video and showing how you picked up your skill level is really helpful. Well done and thanks.
Paul :)
Thanks, Paul! I think you're right, and with time and market saturation, these e-vehicles will become more and more common for daily local transportation. It's the ultimate "small footprint, green vehicle"
Quadcopter 999 In the mean time would you practice on an £185.51 version called Adult Hoverboard giroskuter electric unicycle check it out.
You could always go the electric unicycle route, which is basically the same thing minus the seat and handlebars. (Which are a bit superfluous anyways, imho ;) )
You can find a Ninebot One E+ with about the same stats as this for about $400-$500 on eBay.
That said, I've always wanted a scooter like this since I was a kid. That future is so close! :'(
I've been so excited to see this video after you posted that teaser on IG. This is 1 of my top 5 products I've seen you review. It looks like so much fun (and a great ab workout)! It looks a bit bigger than I had anticipated - but that's a bonus IMO. It's compact, yet looks sturdy enough to lug around the big cities and hopping on the occasional train. Thanks for sharing! Kudos as usual!
Thanks for following on IG too! ;) You're right, it actually is a good core workout - tons of balancing control
How much is it, seems like a great transport/toy. Thank you Ben for this job!
Price and link in the video description
That's soooooooo futuristic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one!!!!!
Unicycles are quite old.
Awesome review! Super cool scooter, if price comes down a bit, I'd have to look at getting one.
I'm surprised that there was still a learning curve to this for you since you already know how to ride a handleless electric unicycle. maybe it's because your center of mass change from standing to seating was enough for the experience to not be the same?
You're spot on! The sitting was the key difference. I admit though, the learning curve on this SoloBike is quicker/easier than standing e-unicycle.
WHAT!!!! You was flying the drone while you was riding the scooter 💯💯💯wow
Give it to me I'm worth it dadaduuunununa
Pls

Thanks for commenting! I'll continue to be clear and transparent with sponsorships, free sample products, etc... I need to remain Authentic! ;)
DUDE! I JUST GOT ONE TODAY! COINCIDENCE.... but it's awesomeI would recommend it...
Nice man!
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke I really want so much
What are your thoughts on it after 4 months?
ughh I would love that to turn into a 2000w version!!!!.. Maybe 60v? intense fun!!
it looks super fun
Even more fun to ride ;)
I do prefer this over the 1 wheel unicycle it looks safer for me than standing up.
Great idea but bigger wheel can give much more stability , then we need more options , like wheel size and battery capacity
Nice review and excellent video!
Thanks for watching!
I like
Price
where do you give it when you have to get it serviced
i got a star 1 was wondering if u got a app for the bluetooth on the unicycle
thanks for the review. is there a brake lever, apart from leaning backwards to slow it down is there a quicker way to do an emergency stop? thanks
Nope, just lean back hard and it will "brake" quite fast.
Another device gonna keep the ER full.. Pfft
this device comes with the same handle bar grips that I bought for my full suspension mountain bike. their comfortable but quite cheep, but I'm happy with them, the seat looks like the kind of cheep seat that comes with most bikes that avid cyclists IMMEDIATELY replace.
Your review are best man!!! xD
Watching manchildren living there best lives
Is there any giveaway hoverboard??????
My brother got one. Used the brake and face planted in front of a school bus. The doctors say that if he learns to speak again he will live an almost normal life.
So sad they are out of business just a few years
You sound a little less enthusiastic in this one... What's wrong? : )
I was just talking about about it would be seeing me ride thru the neighborhood on an electric uni-cycle, we laughed and walked away. Then UA-cam recommends this video. Just something else to show us that it's an exciting time to be alive in the world of technology, big or small
Hey beautiful concept but is it as convenient as an KINGSONG 18inch with her cushion ? Regards
How would it stop in an emergency situation?
tilt back. My electric unicycle stops very fast, not sure if this would be as good.
Can ypu make more videos i love them
Using a bicycle saddle which is specifically made to be compatible with pedalling is not quite the most ingenious design that I could think of.
In which mechanism it's working
Lol this is The Lorax in real life XD
Looks like Starcraft font, lol.
This thing has a narrow round tire instead of a wide flat one. Horrible idea. Really lame.
AWESOME! Love your vids ben
Thanks for watching and commenting - I always appreciate it! :)
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke THANK YOU FOR REPLYING TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO KEEP UP THE GREAT AMAZING VIDS ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ if you could sub to me that would make me so happy I am also trying to make amazing vids like you ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🤘🏽🔥❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke that really looks amazing I might pick one up
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke I bought one on your recommendation..Learning to ride it..I also got the Ninebot MiniPor! Love it!! Thanks for the insights
Bout go buy it with stimmy check
Out of business lol
Its a great invention but sitting and having a handle infront of me while riding a one wheeled vehicle scares me lol
Recommends helmet. Doesn't wear a helmet and repeatedly runs the stop sign.
so long story short. buy one without hands
Can’t you change the seat
i like it but down side its $999 some people can't afford that.
solocraft link is dead.
this thing will probably be a insurance issue over here or a nice fine :(
Cool 😁
first
What's the cost?
I have a monomagic electric unicycle similar to that one and
Probably the pc control board the same. I need one.
best thing i ever bght!!!!
they made the bike from the lorax into a real thing
What app does this use ?
EUC without seat is much better. Tested both and stick with standard EUC.
+Michael Rada - It's all personal preference
What is the tire width?
great video😍😍
Unicycling is really fun (I've never tried an electric one) it seems the electric unicycle is way easier to figure out than an conventional unicycle and doesn't wear you out as fast.
wheres your helmet?
What's. Rupise
That's a euc with a seat lol and handle bars 🤣
get a Onewheel+ XR, it is superior
I broke the pedal on this scooter - I've been searching for the past year for replacement pedals to no avail. I cannot use the scooter with only one pedal - do you know where to source components for these?
you would need to do some manual work, their site is closed. if you can contact EUC (electric unicyle) riders in your area im sure they have ways to solve such problems.
How much is that
The scooter 1 wheel how much count this one?
It can’t be a bike if it only has one wheel
Do they ship these worldwide or US only?
Man I want one but just the looks I know i'd get make me rethink it.
out of business
4th comment! xD
Where I can buy this in Canada?
Great product and great video. Thanks!
when I ride one, it is actually easier to ride standing with full controls on your feet than sitting which bum control makes it wobbly.
Great review
Hehe,ur funny
can alws ys spot a contractor's house
its a EUC with Handel bars
How much?
what would be the price in inr
that looks fun
Lots of fun once you "get it" ;)
It's time to change to AIHI
What website did you use?
That’s cool.
I want one. Haha
Do the wltoys a959 plz
Do they still make these?

Looks nice
You should do a review on the UPair One 4k drone
