Brisbane store E-Riderz running a flash sale on Kingsong brand electric unicycles. Unsure when this ends.

$20 off first order when signing up for newsletter - may or may not stack.
Free standard shipping over $1000
Inb4 not legal where I live - probably a good idea to familiarise yourself with the legalities where you live.

If you're unsure, the Kingsong 16X is generally a good one to start with and will likely last you a while for commuting:
KS-16X (2200W motor, 1554Wh battery): $2719
KS-16XS (2000W motor, 777Wh battery): $1869

      both models above have a top speed of 50km/h. this can be achieved by a simple modification. reading the qld law, this makes them illegal.
      YMMV

      • jasong on 21/10/2022 - 13:39

        Possibly. Ride weekly in brissy and even stop to chat with cops who ask about it. Ride smart and safe and never had any issues. But yes, YMMV

          well same with most vehicles… if you ride like a dick you will attract cops. they probably don't care how fast it goes as long as you don't really go that fast on bike paths. similarly anyone riding a motorbike at 40km/h on a car park will surely annoy people.

          i'm a standard push bike rider, i welcome all users of bike paths so there are more investments to it but somehow i see more aggressive ridings from modded scooters and ebikes than these electric unicycles… the e-unicyclists i've seen on the path sometimes ride in groups, wear full face helmet and bikers' jackets but seem to be very polite when taking over, etc.

    I'd love to see someone commute with this

    • Hinee on 21/10/2022 - 13:53

      When I would scoot to work I saw quite a few actually

    • schquid on 21/10/2022 - 15:07

      I've seen a couple of people around Adelaide, where it's not legal, commute on these things. They all wear motorbike level protective gear, and it just looks painful to maintain speed and balance with all the debris and potholes on Linear Park trail…

        Unicycles are better at traversing potholes, and obstacles than electric scooters and skateboards because of a much larger wheel diameter. Where as a scooter or skateboard will seize or launch the rider on a gumnut, rock or curb, the unicycle can often just drive over it.

        I would recommend good gear, these things CAN GO VERY FAST. One chipped tooth will cost many hundreds, so a full face helmet is a bargain.

  • odysseus on 21/10/2022 - 13:50

    Hey, let's combine the difficulties and increased risk of riding a unicycle, with extra power and speed. What could go wrong?

    I see a couple of dipshits riding these to work, they wear motorcycle helmets for protection which says a lot about these things.

      Should they not wear adequate safety gear lol. To be fair people should be wearing full face helmets for escorted too, considering small wheels plus curbs means falling straight on your chin.

      • Richmond Tigers on 21/10/2022 - 15:51

        The point is, you need a full face motorcycle helmet for a transportation device not permitted on roads, seems stupid that such a potentially dangerous thing is even allowed.

          Realised autocorrect got me in my last post. I was trying to say escooter riders should also wear full face helmets.
          Though you don’t need a full face helmet at all, a bicycle helmet is perfectly legal. I wear full face because of how it protects if I crash. Just like I do when I ride an escooter. For that reason should escooters be banned too? Arguably lol

          I can only speak for myself though, I ride one and feel safer on it. From what I see when I’m riding around it’s people on rental scooters that cause most problems

          Considering CARS are responsible for 47% of all deaths on roads, maybe we should ban all cars because they are obviously too dangerous to be allowed. Victorian Transport Commission: https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/statistics/summaries/…

          If you're travelling at 20+ kmph on a bicycle/scooter/rollerblade/skateboard, and hit something (or worse still get hit by something else) you have an equal chance of being maimed by nature of speed. The problem with bicycles and scooters is you're much higher up and will get CATAPULTED on impact because the front end stops and flips the back end UP. Plus your hands are very likely to get caught by the handlebars and slam your face into the ground.

          Just because you don't see many people wear helmets on bicycles or scooters, doesn't mean they're safer…

    I like how these provide you with no frontal protection or handlebars to hold onto so that when you hit a big bump your body flies forward and takes the full brunt of any fall.

      Why Neg a "deal" when the complaint is about the required skill needed to safely use the device? Every person is different, experienced users can use these on BMX pump tracks and get good air on these, an average skilled user can drop down a set of stairs. Especially for a suspension model like the S18. Regardless, proper safety gear is still a must regardless of skill level. downvoting the deal based on this makes no sense.

        I have an Inmotion V12. I love riding the thing. The other day, I had a guy on a bike come up to tell me I'm going to kill myself on it. I said plenty of people have been killed on bikes, scooters or even walking across the street. I then said you could kill yourself while riding your bike too. Mostly though, I get positive comments and people want to know what it is.

      • eraser215 on 21/10/2022 - 23:03

        Look, you're right. I was snarky when I shouldn't have been. I don't doubt that people who know what they are doing can do incredible things on these unicycles. Humans are pretty incredible like that.

        However a lot of scooter accidents and accidents with small wheeled vehicles take place because the rider's centre of gravity is well above the centre of mass of the vehicle. Secondly, the smaller wheeled vehicles are at far greater risk from small bumps than a bicycle for example.

        Nonetheless I'll park the snark and apologise for the unnecessary negativity.

      What happens if you hit a big bump on an escooter? How does the handlebar protect you from landing on your face?

      Yeah there’s a learning curve and safety considerations to make but let’s not pretend these issues are exclusive to this device because it doesn’t have handles

      • eraser215 on 21/10/2022 - 23:07

        Heya please refer to my apology in another comment. On a scooter or bike you have more points of contact with the vehicle, and in both instances your weight is behind the front wheel, rather than over it. I hope anybody who has or buys one of these unicycles has fun with it, safely of course.

      I use a EUC and I would actually consider it safer than a bicycle or scooter. On impact you can jump off, run off or roll off because there's nothing in front of you but the obstacle. Before a crash it's very easy to ghostie (run) off the EUC.

      When you crash a scooter or bicycle you slam into the handlebars, get trapped, then flipped. Where the bicycle goes, you go and there's no choice in that matter.
