It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

OK, I gotta ask, what is that wheel attached to?

[–] Seqularise@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

electric unicycle, Begode extreme 134 volt, 100km range~, 80kmh in stock

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

I was fully expecting a motorcycle, not this awesomeness.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You ride an electric unicycle in bad road conditions? Sounds like a really bad idea to me

[–] Seqularise@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Yeah, but it is a skill issue, there are people who can ride slick tire in ice, I'm not one of them but I'm trying

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

I mean, that thing is specifically made for off-road use too.

Is it street legal where you live?

[–] Seqularise@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I live in Russia, it's legal to ride these on city roads, but on highways it's forbidden. Laws are changing, I heard that in south Korea every bicycle scooter etc rider has to have driving license. For all of us it's a new theme, I hope your city mayors and politicians will understand you

How is micromobility over there? Do the cops hassle people on scooters, ebikes, boards, etc?

[–] Seqularise@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Very rarely, sometimes when cops has a raid operation they can be stationed alongside main roads but in 99% percent of the time they just just ignore us
