You make it look super easy, dude. I attempted a 1.25mi ride on Sunday. Fell off halfway to the destination. I think I'm running at 45psi. I feel like my roads are a little rougher than yours. Of course, middle of the road is the smoothest. Over to the sides is where the slope and potholes are. I'm going back to practicing in parking lots!
I like keeping the tire pressure a little less than the required if your running on bumpy roads. If the pressure it's to high your feet will start move around on the pads.
Very neat, and it looks like a blast to ride; I'm seriously considering getting one of these, but would like more info on them (known bugs, warranty, top speed, parts, etc.)
If you're new and learning. Don't bother with the strap or training wheels, they will just slow you down. Relax and make sure your footing is the same all the time. Perfect? No, that's not necessary. Turn off speed control if equipped that will get rid of the falling on your arse feeling. keep the wheel set responsive otherwise you have to use your flailing arms and thrusting pelvis to counter. Get 1/2 drunk or 2 hits of some good bud and then get on the thing.
I just ordered a Q3 from China. Can't wait either. Do you wish it would let you go faster and you'd still feel safe? I wonder if they have a hack out there.
Great vid! Just got the Single Wheeled X3.. It is tough and dangerous man.. got the Strap and Training Wheels on... (tried it for about 30 mins). Maybe riding around just practicing will help? Or should I just get rid of the Wheels now?
Dan Heather Learning to ride one of these teaches you something about yourself. Can you persevere? Are you patient? Are you patient with yourself? It's like learning to ride a bicycle. Some get it in a week some in a day. An hour per day riding along a handrail (I have one near my home on a river promenade) and you'll show noticeable progress in a few days. Little bird hops will become longer and longer until one day you "get it". It's an internal process and your body has to learn it instinctively. If on the other hand, you want to blast off and roar around on the first day, then a) get the two wheeled version or b.) sell the wheels now.
How do you get on so smoothly? Soon as I put one foot on the paddle, it shifts from vertical. I have the riding part down but I cannot get on without holding something or jumping on with both legs.
+valdiviacchi The technology will only assist in balancing front to back as the motor engages, it will not balance for you right to left, although the duel wheelbase design assists in it standing by itself. This thing is seriously fun. Like a unicycle, without momentum there can hardly be balance. Hop on and lean forward, keep your weight centered. Back straight, shoulders relaxed, head up and look where you want to go!
+Sky Rover Boards Thanks. Finally realized that one does have to quickly but smoothly hop on and move forward and trust that it will balance. Any hesitation unbalances it.

I like those shoes. ;o) I just bought an Airwheel...can't wait for it to arrive!!
I take it yours is one of the waterproof ones. Those things are neat.

Noted
haha those numbers bro, you got the 6, the 13 and the masonic 33 LOL
I did order the X8, I can wait to ride it! Looks a lot of fun
OMG I want one!!!! That looks like a blast!
Increasing tire pressure reduces rolling friction. Might make it a bit less stable, though. Have you tried it?
Mate I don't know what the hell I just watched .... But that was awesome... Couldn't stop watching
That's My Airwheel. Summer Fun........lol
Minnesota Digger Dude that's awesome, did you give your GF a ride on the back? lol
Rode my granddaughter around with me. She couldn't get enough!
I have the 260wh model. I can get 15 to 20 miles out of it. Depends on how cold it is.

Q3 model. Think I have over 300 miles on it now.
Nice video. What app do you use to track your speed and mileage?
There's all kind of app's you can use. I'm not sure which app it was.
great!
Hey Mate! I was just wondering what app that is you are using? Also, I just got the X3 and I would like to knock anybody's thoughts on it! Thank you!
What battery size do you have and how far it goes with single charge? Thank you
Can you set the machine, so it doesn't beep ?
