you could have gotten a bicycle instead you fat fuck

Honestly, if you're too close to use a bike, just walk.

You're going to look like a sperg with any kind of moving device and that includes riding a skateboard over the age of 15.

The quickest thing about your commute will be how fast people label you a douche

Can't argue that motor vehicles aren't 'better,' since despite their price and cuckoldry the vast majority of the first-world population prefers them. But OP doesn't sound like he's in the position either financially or logically to use one.

>>58952900
I Googled it and found the phrase "self-balancing" used a few times. I assume from this that it balances forwards and back and you balance side-to-side. I wonder how you turn, because I've never used a unicycle before.

>bought some 'thing' for a 2 (two) mile """""commute"""""

That's called a walk. I have seen one of these things before, the person riding it was a middle aged numale giving off that ' le nerdy guy xD' vibe.

>>58952924
Leaning to the left or right should be enough to turn

>>58952929
The problem with walking is that you need to get up earlier, leave earlier, and take longer to get there.

Or better yet a bike. Those still exist, you know.

This is my exact reason for getting this right here. 30 min walk vs 8-10 mins on this thing. That's over 3 hours every work week I save by not walking.
>get a bike
Bikes are a pain in the ass. Too large to sit near my desk at work so I would have to find a bike rack and lock it up. Folding bikes are garbage and don't get as small as this unless you spend a fortune.
>get a skateboard
Roads around me suck and it would only work for my morning commute. Coming home is all up pretty steep hills.

>>58951897
fuck all these faggots

you do you OP, that looks fun as fuck

wish i could get heeleys or however you spell those.

that would be awesome for when a bus wait is longer than just walking to the destination.

Do you know how to learn to ride it? Basically you slowly move next to walls and railings at first, there's no real learning curve you just have to desensitize your reflexes, at first your brain thinks you will fall and will sabotage any attempts to ride it. After a week or two you will get on and can suddenly ride it with no explanation. On smooth surfaces you can pretty much stand however you want, for off road you have to bend your knees slightly and only tense your muscles the minimum needed to stand and use your legs to absorb bumps.

What the fuck? Just hunch over a bit at first or lower yourself and it'll register as riding a bicycle. You'll gradually get tired of the bicycle stance and stand up to conserve energy.

>>58952662
I've biked everywhere from when I was fucking 8 years old, biking is absolute dicks and boring as hell.

>>58953475
>What the fuck? Just hunch over a bit at first or lower yourself and it'll register as riding a bicycle. You'll gradually get tired of the bicycle stance and stand up to conserve energy.
I don't think so, riding mine around I constantly get asked by people if they can have a go, I have yet to see one manage succeed riding it the first go, most of them can't even handle moving while resting on a wall. I ride a motorbike and it still took me a week to get rid of the reflex preventing me riding it.

Inline skates are objectively the best gofast technology that fits in a backback.

Jesus fuck, OP. I lived just under 5 miles from my work and walked it every day, both ways, sun or rain or snow for 6 years.

10 miles every day? Cool. You probably look good.

>>58953005

You sure gonna get more productive with those 3 hours.
Why you don't like walking? It takes me an hour to get from work by foot but around 25-35 minutes by bus, I'm not doing it just because getting up at 5 A.M. is not fun, as well as going home in the black of night (summer, plz, come).

>>58954492
Electric unicycle is certainly more fun than walking, it feels sort of like skiing but if you had a never ending downwards slope and you don't need snow. Roller blading down hill is sort of similar as well but the unicycle will plow over grass and dirt and has better ability to brake, offroad they're closer to mountain bikes.

>>58954349
I'll be honest at 5 miles I'd get a bicycle just for the time it saves. That and being able to carry more.

You'll sweat a lot less once you shed all your basement chub. The more folds, the more you'll sweat. Just bring a change of clothes until then.

Those three are the same thing, could have just said 'get up earlier' but you really wanted to extrude the fake problem as much as you could.

>>58958027
in city, you don't even get a chance to get sweaty, traffic lights everywhere, plus wind chills you nicely. I was doing 20km daily from home in village near city to uni, then back, after getting kinda fit all i had to do was washing my face.

Then i've installed bicycle engine to it. Good alternative for a car in sunny days, cheap and really fun to ride.

they sure do have weird bikes there though, so it was pretty good guess

>>58964222
Fellow slav here (Czech), riding one of those around here would be suicide. They are "motorized vehicle", so they need to go on road. And road is a dangerous place even when you're in a metal box, let alone for bare squishy human.

>>58964309
>They are "motorized vehicle", so they need to go on road
Just like a bicycle. What's the problem?

>>58964309
I'm using roads on my little bike a lot, it's not as scary as it sounds. Although if i couldn't use bike lanes on it, it would be pretty much worthless - that's what makes it beautiful, i can ride on street (it does 50kmph, so it's okay in city) and then just jump on bike lane when traffic gets heavy.

Are e-bikes "motorized vehicles" too? In my country, law differentiates between "motorized vehicles" and "vehicles with support engine", so bike with engine that works only when you're pedaling is fine and fully legal in every interpretation of law possible.

Would anyone here be interested in helping with an open source controller for these vehicles? Some of the costs on them are fixed, high end ones have $500 worth of batteries, but the chinese companies have pretty large profit margins on them still.

So far I have done
Hardware is 90% complete, just testing hardware revisions on 3kw 2 wheeled vehicles at the moment.
FOC motor control and motor detection 100% adapted from other FOSS project
gyro drivers and software filters 100%
The only thing remaining is to write a control loop to balance the vehicle and the c code to interface the loop with the controller. I can't code much at all and haven't had any luck finding anyone I can pay to do it.
