I learned how to ride this today in less than 5 minutes. It's so much fun. I'm learning how to turn tomorrow. I can't wait to take this out to the beach boardwalk
Wow really so much changed in 7 years. I got a 5000km mileage in only 1 month and top speed at 84km/h using the modern EUC veteran Sherman in my daily work in food Delivery )))
This thing looks really great, however I can't justify spending $2,000 on it. For $2,000 you could buy a used car or an actually electric bike. Maybe if the price comes down significantly this thing would be a gold mine.
My wishes for future models. No learning curve at all, just much better self balancing, the ability for it to follow you around, or rather, follow your cell phone around, so if you get off, go walk around something you wouldn't want to ride on, it can then safely navigate that and there's no sad picking it up, putting it down over and over on every trip, also a handle bar that retracts, i don't see how you wouldn't want that, then you don't have to steer it with your calves! just lean the grip wherever and have much more controllable motion. I'd also love to see this tech adapted for disabled people, no one has really shook up the mobility scooter market since they went from being powered by steam to electric
If you want to wish for something wish that a future model hovers instead of having to use a wheel :) But seriously they really need to supply the unit with a larger battery as the stock battery is only 122WH and rather puny compared to the massive rated motor of 1500W. There is a UA-cam video if you search with someone testing the range and only squeezed out a mare 5-6 miles while doing a few errands around his town. Solowheel website states range of 10 miles. Granted that is tested in ideal conditions it is rather poor for real world use especually if you are far from home and it cuts out on you while you are in the belief that you still have lots of power left.
You could only dream about stuff like this when I was a kid. It was the stuff of wild sci-fi or cartoons. Here we are with it in reality.... whoa.. bit o future shock.
Very Nice video, I found some tips such as keep your leg on the pad, and mounting the solo wheel to be helpful, I have been trying to ride for a week, and cannot get past the training wheels, I will keep trying.
I want to ride one of these while carrying a boom box 70's style playing Weird Al Yankovic's "White and nerdy" on an endless loop. But change the one line to "See me rolln' on my Solowheel..."
If this wheel gets wet, will it still work? If I ride through water puddle and the electronics inside get wet, will it still perform without any complications? Please let us all know!
Funny, you could always read this kind of comments under nearly every thing. Rethink what you just said. Almost everything would sell better if its cheap. A private Jet for 1000 bucks? I'd buy one. My owne island for 5000? Where can i sign?
NeoDerGrose Actually you can get a car for $200. It will be a $200 dollar piece of shit but it is possible. For $500 to $1500 you can get get a pretty good used car.
What's technical about it? Drive ten minutes around just about any town and you'll see a cheap car for sale. As for the hobby and troll comment, It's overused and frankly . . . pathetic.
Where is the Gyroscope hidden? in the hub motor or on the circuit board? Is there any sensor that control the front-back balancing in the hub motor? or is it all the sensors or controls are in the circuit board?
Hi ! i too have solo wheel gift from my friend. i think i am the only one to ride here so far.Now i got functioning problem with my wheel and went to many place for repair but none could. We don't get this in my country. I want to purchase a new one..could you please help.
Does being able to plug something into the wall really make it green? Or is it just as opposed to all those diesel powered solowheels I don't see anywhere? I want a diesel powered one.
hi ..will you be making one with a smal seat ..i'm disabled -so can't stand for long but this seems to also be able to be seat able and work too ?? thanks ..Rich
agreed but segways were expensive when i first talked to their engineering team ..its a new technology but the future ..if england ever sorts its roads n pavements lol ^^ hugs dudey x
Someone must have read the comments here because there's now a knockoff of the "solowheel" at Amazon. It's called the"Airwhell" and costs between 700 and 900 dollars. Looks just like the original "Solowheel" too. I wonder how long until the lawsuits start for patent infringement ?
I like the idea and it looks like fun but I struggle to think of what I would actually use it for. The only thing in the video that looked like a possibility was the camera. I could imagine using this with a steadicam for super smooth tracking shots.
Take the price down to around $700 to $900 and then it will sell. At $2k I just can't justify buying something like this when there are better alternatives like a standard, electric assist and gas engine assist bicycles for under $1k and Segway can be had for about the same price or just another grand and Segway is far more controllable and stable.
Solowheel should spin-off from Inventist. Or have it's on website. Inventist's other products just make Solowheel look gimmicky. And there's no product info at all. Why's that? I want to know about the distance per charge. How long does it take to fully charge? How much does it weigh? Just basic info. :-(
20 some pounds takes about 2 hours to charge and can last for up to 20miles on a charge.... i watched a few videos and one was an interview where they mentioned some facts
The fact that you can pick it up and carry it with you makes it a bit harder to steal, if only could outrun someone who is sprinting... or.. jogging... of falling off balance but still catching themselves, or going down the stairs drunk but holding onto stair railings desperately.
Gotta laugh at the morons screaming "learn to walk", "this will make you fat", "why are humans so lazy" etc. Did they think the same when skateboards were invented? This is FUN for gods sake.
When my family and I went to visit D.C. I saw a man get off one of these, fold up the peddles, and hop on the metro. Blew my mind.

Saw a guy riding one to work in Paris last Summer. Didn't know what it was til now. Cool.
Its amazing how far EUCs have come... From this to the V11 and the Veteran Sherman.
And soon S 20 and Abrams !
Is there a section in the manual for comebacks for when people inevitably call me a douche?
that would be PERFECT for college.
I just found my old bicycle. It Works great without batteries.
I got the hang of it in a day ! It's so amazing!!

hello , i love it , how much please link where we can buy it .....and how many speed?

Astavakra1981
well that was insulting. but since I've got shoes that are older than you, fair comment.
Astavakra1981 "younger more adventurous"?? no let it only to lazy people who forgot what "use you feet" means ^^ !!! ridiculous ^^

This would sell amazingly well if it was $200.

Do you geht a Car fort 200$? Is it not usefull because of ist's price?
NeoDerGrose

Yeah I See, you've got great technical knowledge. Go get yourself a hobby and troll elsewhere.

I prefer this over that hover board.
There's this awesome thing called waking. Its completely free and doesn't hurt the environment at all!
Wes Hamster how does an electric motor hurt the environment , I guess not everyone was born with brains
Where is the Gyroscope hidden? in the hub motor or on the circuit board?

I spotted Clackamas Town Center TC. Is this a local company here in PDX?
i want this monowheel
Does being able to plug something into the wall really make it green? Or is it just as opposed to all those diesel powered solowheels I don't see anywhere? I want a diesel powered one.
This is new technology with expensive batteries and gyroscopes. It looks amazing so stop comparing about the price
How does it handle going up and down hills? I got a lot if them!
im getting this...so i never have to walk to get in my car
какая мощность мотора?сколько вольт?
what motor power?how much volts?
How much is for a solowheel an where can i buy it in tijuana mexico??
The Charger plug in is great a faster way to be connected.
Great on flat surfaces but in reality here in the u.k. there are bumps all over the paths and roads.
ad ơi cho mik hỏi mua cái này ở đâu vậy ?
dam!!!! she made it look so easy!...solo wheel thy name be soon you thou shall be mine
donde lo compro
in summary: step 1, step on the wheel, step 2, balance your self, step 3, fart.
how do we get rid of the fat that we gain by not walking anymore?
burn it off furiously pounding your keyboard while criticizing genius on the internet
There is no way a "fat" person could ride this. I bet the weight limit is 180
hi ..will you be making one with a smal seat ..i'm disabled -so can't stand for long but this seems to also be able to be seat able and work too ??
thanks ..Rich
1500qid dude phoooey that's expensive
agreed but segways were expensive when i first talked to their engineering team ..its a new technology but the future ..if england ever sorts its roads n pavements lol ^^ hugs dudey x
what happened if you hit a bump?
Someone must have read the comments here because there's now a knockoff of the "solowheel" at Amazon. It's called the"Airwhell" and costs between 700 and 900 dollars.
Looks just like the original "Solowheel" too.
I wonder how long until the lawsuits start for patent infringement ?
I like the idea and it looks like fun but I struggle to think of what I would actually use it for. The only thing in the video that looked like a possibility was the camera. I could imagine using this with a steadicam for super smooth tracking shots.
Stresses importance of following ALL safety precautions.... Rides one legged in demonstration video. I can almost hear the gavel drop.
I'm not sure which one to believe, the video or the fine print. I JUST DON'T KNOW * Head blows up from excessive contradictions*
Didn't mentioned about the load capacity. Also people with fat calves need a wider platform. I want a turbo version.
What happens if somebody bumps into you?
Thumbs up for including Freestylin' @5:17
A very good way to exercise nothing gets better than less walking...
can it drive in snow?
HELL NO
Lol
Can i drive this on the Highway ?
It is a pity that the handle does not come out as the steering wheel... .
Looks like you changed the charging connector. Cool.
We sell them in Spain at 350$. I wonder if there is a patent behind this new vehicles
What brand
looks great...
u seen the price i dont think so but i would love one
Can you do a handstand on it and ride it.
My solo weel dos not turn on is it broke
Maybe It would be more nice if would have a handlebar or something..but is an amazing device !
What is the weight limit?
Inspired by the method of traveling in the BC cartoon they used to have in the news paper funnies. Or is the motorcycle equivalent of the Segway.
RIP So many wrists and tailbones
I'm surprised nobody asked yet. What about curbs? Awesome tech by the way.
Dove lo ha comprato?
Take the price down to around $700 to $900 and then it will sell. At $2k I just can't justify buying something like this when there are better alternatives like a standard, electric assist and gas engine assist bicycles for under $1k and Segway can be had for about the same price or just another grand and Segway is far more controllable and stable.
I would buy one for 700$ for sure!!
search 'airwheel' in google and find the chinese version. It costs substantially less than the 'solowheel'
kevin chen Cool!
Thx ;)
if you compare the solo wheel to a segway, you obviously have no clue about the benefits of the solowheel
qqqqhuz Who's talking about a segway?
Dude. That's JACKED. Love it.
will the price point ever come down? I can buy a scooter for less.
goonie79 my guess would be no. The huge lithium battery is most of the cost.
is this in portland oregon?
I used it and I think its so heavy to hand catch
So amazing!
This is like the 'The Lorax' bike without the handle!
how can i buy it in cambodia?
I heard they were going to have a quad bike version, but the inventor of it drove it off a cliff.
This thing is sooo cool.. I want it
Is this street legal in the UK ?????
why have we lags ?
where you can buy?
air wheel works perfect for me, and it doesn't cosr a fortune!
Very practical!
Store on new York? ?
Frewel is very good!
I would love to have one but I could find a 500 virago for that price
Solo wheel is excellent.Now invent a seat to sit on,to cruise on
Solowheel should spin-off from Inventist. Or have it's on website.
Inventist's other products just make Solowheel look gimmicky. And there's no product info at all. Why's that?

20 some pounds takes about 2 hours to charge and can last for up to 20miles on a charge.... i watched a few videos and one was an interview where they mentioned some facts
This was uploaded on by b-bay
Wait...did I buy a solo wheel??
🤔🤔🤔🤔
From humble beginnings :-)
Solowheel in a new innovation
after a few loose teeth, this should be fun. do they have a place for crash course? so cool!
available version cheap made in China, maybe
The fact that you can pick it up and carry it with you makes it a bit harder to steal, if only could outrun someone who is sprinting... or.. jogging... of falling off balance but still catching themselves, or going down the stairs drunk but holding onto stair railings desperately.
I find standing more tiring than walking or cycling. It would need a seat to be any use to me.
Reach the masses with lower price and make it plug into an outlet anywhere, without the huge charger.
can we see it go up hills
How is it uphill?
didn't watch the video huh? lol......
next commercial.... "Perfect for a short commute in a safe side of town"
Gotta laugh at the morons screaming "learn to walk", "this will make you fat", "why are humans so lazy" etc.
Did they think the same when skateboards were invented?
This is FUN for gods sake.
Interesting! but it cannot run japanese public road .
very nice!!!
Any epic fail videos on this?
Awesome.
how much
我玩這個己十分熟練了.比單車更安全.更方便.
so is this a ripoff of the mobbo or the other way around?
+dakken74 other way around i think earthtechling.com/2013/07/mobbo-electric-unicycle-looks-strangely-familiar/
Pretty good
