Quote from redpoint5 :
Amazon has the same price for Inmotion EUCs. Extra 5% off on Amazon has me preferring that retailer.

I've had the Master a year now and I think it's great, for 2100 it's ideal for someone who is looking to step up from a non suspension wheel.

With the Glide 3 being so small and portable, I'd throw it in the car on just about any trip...
There is an intermittent issue with my car where sometimes the last 2 gallons of fuel is not accessible and the car dies just before the low fuel light turns on. With the wife and kids in the car, I coasted off the highway and parked, then grabbed the Glide and rode the 3 miles uphill to the petrol station and bought a 1gal fuel can and got a gallon of fuel, then rode back. Had the car running again in about 25 minutes on a road that was out in the middle of nowhere (tow truck would have taken hours).
My wife thought it funny to document the ordeal

Anyhow, my point is I might not take a wheel everywhere if it's too big to fit in the footwell in front of kids.
Very much looking forward to the Master and suspension. I often make trips back and forth with camping gear out into the forest, and it gets tricky carrying 60lbs of gear and hitting roots and loose soil on the Glide. Also push the limits on steep hiking trails with rocks and roots. My one concern though is that the Glide was light enough that if I lost control and started to send it down a cliff edge, I could easily hang onto it. I'm not going to be able to just hang onto an 80lb thing that's trying to fall off a cliff.

get a king song with ajustible air mountain bike suspension if you want mid range performance and good shocks. get the inmotion v11 if you can handle the looks, that's selling the best on a lot of sites now bc of the good discount for a midrange wheel with shocks
I've ridden eBikes, OneWheel GT, EUCs, e-scooters, "hoverboards", and heck even electric RipStiks. Each kind of PEV has its own version of leisure and level of utility.
EUCs and e-scooters each have their own safety problems. The primary safety problems of an EUC are:
1) if there's a rare cutout, you go face first fast. Wear full-face helmet, chest armor, gloves, and knee pads as much as you can.
2) if there's a sudden tire blowout, it can be difficult to stay up.
3) they are maybe the hardest PEV to learn, and so there is a period where you are more likely to fall. You're usually going slower though, and if you're smart, you're not out on roads yet.
There's a misconception that e-scooters are simply safer than EUCs, and that arises from watching total noobs riding around on rental scooters. They must be safer, right? No, it just means that they're easier to become competent.
E-scooters have many other points of failure that EUCs don't have:
1) The throttle can get stuck, forcing the rider to jump off at high speeds
2) The brakes are much more likely to fail because of all the different points of failure. There's the brake lever, the brake line, the brake assembly itself. They can fail at really bad times, just like an EUC can cutout at bad times.
3) Another kind of brake failure is that the brakes lock, causing you to go over the handlebars, which is a very dangerous kind of crash.
4) The rear wheel can fish-tail very easily on even the least slippery surfaces.
5) The much-smaller wheels of scooters make unexpected unevenness in the road, manhole covers, potholes, and road debris a lot more dangerous. I've unexpectedly hit such road problems on my suspension EUC and while it is startling, I've been able to ride on with no problem. All other PEVs other than my eBikes would these scenarios have ended poorly.
There's a video on YouTube where prolific e-scooter rider Jimmy Chang who had reviewed like 50 different e-scooters met with an EUC channel to do an EUC versus e-scooter video. Jimmy Chang himself admitted that he felt EUCs are actually safer than e-scooters. I don't think I can post the link here. You can search for the video authored by "monocat" titled "Would you choose EUC or Escooter? ft. Andrew (JimmyChang)"

The first time I ever kayaked was on the Deschutes river on a multiday trip down the whole thing, to the Columbia. The big rafts held all but 2 in the group, and there wasn't much interest in sitting on hard plastic and being completely responsible for the boat, so I ended up spending all 3 days in it. First day I got munched and then split my knee open on a rock. A kayak is way more unstable than a raft, and it takes way more skill.
By day 3, the gear raft gets flipped in a rapid and the skipper is swimming to shore, with other rapids approaching downriver. I zipped to the overturned boat in the kayak and jumped on top. I paddled the overturned boat to an eddy and saved the gear boat and everyone's belongings.
The kayak was way safer than the easy to learn rafts. By having lack of stability, it had abundance of maneuverability, skill being the only missing piece.
Ended up doing a bit of creek boating in my 20s. Takes gobs of skill, but it will do things a raft won't.
Scooter vs EUC is likely comparable to rafting vs kayaking.
All jokes aside, to each his own.
There's nothing wrong with unicycles.
Those considering unicycles, here's something to read first:
size 13 foot a couple of times, but it only hurt for a very short while and did not leave a mark.
I agree that a bike is not as safe as a scooter, but imo bikes are safer than unicycles, except possibly at the most advanced levels.
I'd only consider using a unicycle as an excellent way to work the core, but only in a park or other semi-controlled environment.
