this company consistently has the best sales and best warranties on these erideables, in silicon valley and I think there is some investment in it to try to gain market share, that's my theory

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.

Electric scooters ARE safer than electric unicycles! ("EUC")
that said, if these perform beyond a 50cc gas scooter, you may need more than just your driver's license (50cc scooters don't require more than a vehicle driver's license.
that may someday come as a total bummer , but generally the companies can sell the thing with software that limits the speed to what gov't and police are demanding. but for those that want to go offroad or those that wanna risk faster speeds in the city, there is generally a way to unlock the wheel from that slower setting. I know that's what some electric dirt bikes makers do.
Also FYI...the most dangerous e-vehicles are skateboards and the onewheel board, because if your tire drops into a hidden animal/gopher/rabbit hole that is not visible bc covered by grass...that type of board will more or less stop immediately, and the rider gets tossed just like a cowboy riding an angry bull at the rodeo! can also get some kind of rock wedging itself into your street skateboard type wheel and that also can very easily get you thrown off the board. The sideways riding stance almost guarantees that you will trip over one of your own feet, and the most common injury with skateboard and onewheel is broken collar bone, bc when you are riding a sideways board stance like that, when you crash, your left or right upper shoulder hits first with all your weight and all the force of gravity.
It's a fun hobby but there's no reason to take unnecessary risks, the motorcycle industry has already innovated all the best types of clothes and armor that protect e-vehicle riders completely, or that lessen the impact and injury that the rider receives. Do not screw around, you won't want to be killed or maimed...go buy some nice quality motorcycle safety gear

Very enjoyed and satisfied every day, and very convincing.
Enough with the negativity.
I already stated "to each his own" and "there's nothing wrong with unicycles."
You won't prevent me from warning my fellow Slickdealers how
dangerous electric unicycles are, so stop the semi-stalking already.
Thanks for helping to warn everyone.

Indeed. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...s/emot-nod.gif
As for riding an electric unicycle, I wouldn't even attempt it. It would be far too risky for me. I nearly fell off a hoverboard already. It would take too much time and effort to master either one, and it would take even longer to become skilled enough to use either of them for practical purposes, like I do with my electric scooter.
Also, riding an electric unicycle looks totally ridiculous. Electric scooters look a lot more normal and socially acceptable imo. While I'm not overly concerned with how I look, it would not be fun to have people laugh at me on a unicycle.

Nope, the ULTIMATE would be some sort of jet pack or small flying machine. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...s/emot-nod.gif
EUCs force you to take the time to put in miles going super slow, granted there are riders who bite more than they can chew early on, until their skill catches up to their ego.
Scooters any grandma can jump one and think they can instantly yeet that thing going 50 mph with little to no training\learning.
You think you're doing a service to the general public by stating an opinion based on zero experience, when if fact it is completely false and could not be farther from the truth.
I can't comment on how you think euc riders "look" as that is highly subjective.
There is a reason riders from other devices are switching to EUCs... They are the best modes of transportation while having a blast.

If you want to see an "almost died", here's an e-scooter rider who almost died a couple months ago: https://bloomingtonian.
He lost control of his e-scooter and fish-tailed in front of an oncoming Jeep. Remember how I said that e-scooters can easily fish-tail, which beginners don't realize? But physics, right?

The fact that e-scooter riders have a culture of wearing far less padding and all the noobs doing dumb things shouldn't be an argument for the inherent safety of e-scooters, but rather just the perception of e-scooter lack of safety on the news.
Again, EUCs and e-scooters are dangerous in different ways. As long as you are aware of the weak points, keep proper maintenance of the vehicle, wear lots of safety gear, trying to ride in safer environments (not while raining, on safer roads, etc), then you can reduce likelihood and magnitude of injury.

Almost killed him? The person who recorded that video even states that the guy MAYBE had some broken ribs and a bloody nose. He was sitting up and lucid in that video. Not really helping your argument.

The only argument I agree with TH0R about is that e-scooters are safer for someone who is a total noob. But by that same token, it plays into your great argument that a total noob can immediately start flying 50 mph on a fast e-scooter without getting experience with the other ins and outs.

Both devices has the capability to kill you if you throw all caution to the wind... They can both be as safe as you want them to be. If you show restraint and learn to ride within your limits and control risk with gear and aquired skill. I ride both, love both, but there is nothing like riding an EUC... I used to buy season tickets to go skiing and snowboarding... no more, with an euc the world feels like my free mountian pass.
