Electric unicycles, or “EUCs,” have become increasingly popular as a green, sustainable, and efficient form of personal transportation in recent years. They are driven by batteries and attain speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour. They are an excellent method to get around town on a budget.

EUCs are a fascinating and exciting way to get around, but despite their growing popularity, there are still some concerns. In this blog, we address your Top 10 Questions on EUC’s, to assist you in making an educated decision about whether an electric unicycle is suitable for you.

How does an EUC work?

An EUC works by utilizing an electric motor housed in the wheel, which is driven by batteries. The controller connects to the motor, allowing the user to regulate the speed and direction of the unicycle.

The motherboard also contains a gyroscope, which helps to balance the wheel whilst you are travelling.

It is fairly easy to operate an EUC, as they typically only have two controls: one for acceleration and one for braking. In order to accelerate, you lean forward…and to brake, simple lean backwards.
