Stunning machine, stunning beach, stunningly good day.
April 2018.
Video 12b in the Unicycle Garage series.
3000W hubmotor self balancing monocycle finished and tested properly on a beach, filmed using decent cameras for a change.
At no time in this video did we get beyond 20% of maximum power and yet it is still way faster than anything else we have built so far. The main speed limitation is fear. It is clearly capable of going much faster. Front safety skid/wheel combo will be redesigned at some point. It unbolts as a unit.
There was no smoke machine being used here, the mist was rolling in off the sea. You can learn to ride it in 5 minutes, which will be subject of another video.
