Since 2 years ago, I'm enthusiastic EUC commuter. These devices are fun, but a great alternative to using a car. I use it mostly to commute to my rapid bus station that is 3.5 kms (2.2 miles) from my home. I all started as an experiment, I didn't want to buy a car just to go and park it the whole day at the rapid bus station. I started commuting on these, to avoid taking the local bus. Now it is part of my daily commute all year around, even when it snows and rains. Since I avoiding buying another car, I now save that money (around 500 dollars per month). I really believe that this mode of transportation will become one day part of the public transit system. Public transportation, becoming personal transportation. Local buses is not a good solution for short distance commuting. Sometimes it takes longer to wait for the bus than the time you ride on it.
Good video like always in your reviews of these electric unicycles. You're still the only good tech reviewer that has taken electric unicycles seriously as a viable transportation device. Looking forward to when you will review the high end high performance electric unicycles of Gotway and Kingsong.
The design looks great. How was the quality/feel of the handle? Hope you have an opportunity to share a review of a scooter soon, Ben! Great review as usual.
Did you have hold back that this entire video was sponsored by Segway until the very end? I'm trying to find some unbiased reviews on RUclips and when it comes to the end I find out I've spent five minutes of my life on what amounts to a commercial. Can you clarify what you mean when you say the video was "sponsored?" Did Segway provide a sample to you or are they an advertiser paying you to talk about the product?
I ride a similar scooter by this manufacturer, and though I enjoy it I disagree about its functionality in typical city-riding use. Intersections are always dicey, because it's not possible to stop on a dime with this ride. Yes, one can slow down, stop, and step off, but re-starting by hopping back on the foot pads is not easy at all. My method has been to look for a road sign post or some other fixed object to hang on to while remaining aboard the scooter, instead of hopping off entirely. Then there are potholes. If I don't see one coming soon enough I will be ejected off this scooter when going into a pothole. So for this and the reasons above I agree with this video's author: a good bike helmet is recommended. I even wear a light motorcycle coat -- got tired of landing on unpadded elbows on concrete.
Thanks for the tips! How long have you been riding electric unicycles? In regards to the starting/stopping, I'd say keep practicing with mounting and dismounting. For me, it feels effortless and very quick/easy. As for the potholes, you're right! I guess those will throw off most other rideables as well ;)
Got this scooter about 5 months ago. I would've benefitted from some good instruction -- lots of crashing for me. I never managed to learn how to hop on. My technique is to find something to lean on while placing my second foot aboard. Even if I managed to jump on successfully, I rarely got my feet symmetrically placed, leaving me with an off-balance feeling.
AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke I dislike the speed control function, but don't know how to improve it. Whenever I accidentally get going too fast for the scooter it slows itself down dramatically, counter-leaning the scooter and nearly dumping me off in the process. I notice you're getting a top speed of 11 mph. The software that I use (it looks just like the one you demo for us) won't allow a speed faster than 6 mph. Am I missing something about the speed setting?
Hey Jon, not sure which model you have but if it's similar to the One S1 you have to ride the unit for .6 miles after completing the new rider tutorial before you can unlock the speed limiter and reach max speed.

in the philippines segway A1 is available only getting S1 version is costly due to shipping fee, just a beginner on a tight budget, what would you recommend?physically they dont have much of the difference but the black linning and handle of S1
I love the design but I wish they would boost the battery life, but I guess it would too heavy and expensive for their target customers. btw I love your reviews keep up the good "work"
Well Ninebot have shown they're bringing out a designed for off-road larger wheel with way bigger batteries. Yes it will be more expensive, but also a lot more powerful.
Hey Ben. Will you ever review one of the Gotway EUCs (like Tesla or ACM2)? Or maybe one of the newer unicycles being released this summer (KS18L, Gotway MSuper X, and the Ninebot One Z6/Z8/Z10)?
Depends on how steep, it can conquer some hills, but super steep stuff, I'd go with a more powerful unit, like this one maybe: ruclips.net/video/Vg-B798SmtQ/видео.html
It will take you a good week to get comfortable, I have a s1 and its great, just use a cement wall or something to help you get on it, and help you ride, I have ridden about 15kms today and I love it :) first long ride, after a week learning it
After three hundred miles, riding the thing is effortless. If you're wide open, there's no reason not to multitask. It can be done responsibly. He probably could have said that it's controlled completely hands-free, but the gist is there.
Hello Ben, I am so glad you are enjoying the ninebot one, as I did for over a year. After riding it for over 780km, it lost power on me suddenly three weeks ago. I have been going to physiotherapy twice a week plus massage every week, . At one point I thought these type of technology can save the world, but after the incident I feel that it really is not ready for the general market. Please be extra cautious on this machine because many more people have had the same problem so it is a likely event for all ninebot users.
It's essentially a solid state gyroscope chip, like the one that makes your phone sense tilt, connected to a microcontroller and a huge stepper motor. When the gyroscope senses the device tilt forward or back, it runs the stepper motor to compensate and bring the machine back to the zero point where the pedals are flat. It does this so fast and to such a fine degree that the whole thing rolls forward or back instead of pivoting around the axle. Slap on a 14" bike tire and some plastic trim, a pair of mag alloy pedals, some batteries and LEDs, and there you have it. JFM.

Thanks for watching!

this was extremely informative, and the scenery is stunning. where did you shoot?

I'm always open to the opportunity :)
@@AuthenTech 5 years later, there are EUCS that can go 80-90km/h and endure 150-250km of single charge ride :)
Thanks for the video
A guy in my town Brighton mi has over 5,000 mi. On one of those. I have a V8f and its going to take me along time to get those miles.
Hey Ben is the Segway s1 waterproof?
can you do a review on the urb-e electric scooter
Hey buddy, nice explanation. Thank you. Would you plz tell/show how well does this work on uphill slope ride???
Depends on how steep, it can conquer some hills, but super steep stuff, I'd go with a more powerful unit, like this one maybe: ruclips.net/video/Vg-B798SmtQ/видео.html
I've managed to get a One S2. And it's so hard to learn. How long did it take you to able ride? And is it worth it?
It will take you a good week to get comfortable, I have a s1 and its great, just use a cement wall or something to help you get on it, and help you ride, I have ridden about 15kms today and I love it :) first long ride, after a week learning it
How well does it do going up hills?
Turtle at 4:17 wasn't having anything to do with it.
Great review with sweet camera work. I just don't know why you would suggest texting and multitasking on a motorized vehicle of any kind.

U have any s2
Please review the Swagtron Swagroller
any idea if you can stand still on this. I want to use it to film with my big camera on my shoulder.....?
No. Try the Ninebot Mini.

What is the weight limit on this?
Can you do a review on wltoys f959
You made me buy one

But Is This Unicycle Self Balancing? If So Then How Does That Work?
Do a shoutout for the Segway ninebot
Nice.
can it go uphill?
Yes. To a crazy degree. It's honestly scary just how much torque the motor has.

Would be nice if it has solar charging as well...
Can u plzzz tell how it work

In lieu of it not have a head-light, I'd suggest wearing a head-set on your fore-head.
Sucks for me I have to spend bigger bucks because these can't handle my 280 lbs carcass
They say u can hack to 30miles
I learned it in 30 minutes
l have de s2

Can you send me one
12 mph is dangerous, I would fall asleep at that speed and drive into traffic.
whey this name ninebot
Because Segway licenses the design from the Chinese company Ninebot, who invented this model, to import to the US. Or something like that.

Let the dog pull you along on the leash and it's almost just like water skiing. Hilarious fun.
Please
3k quite affordable lol
uses same song as everyone else, a little upset -rep :(
if you can't drive a car and text maybe you shouldn't be telling people to ride a unicycle and text.
I disliked because you wouldn’t just tell us the price retail. What a joke.
These units are complete garbage dreadfully underpowered don't waste you're money.
It doesn't just "have an app," it REQUIRES an app and an account to ACTIVATE. Too bad, cuz that ain't gonna happen. Hope that's hacked ASAP...
slow asf!
