FAQs

An EUC, or Electric Unicycle, is a one wheel electric vehicle that is powered by a battery. Riders control the movement by leaning forward or backward to accelerate or decelerate, and they can also tilt to steer. EUCs are popular for recreational riding use due to their portability and eco-friendly design. They offer a unique riding experience and can be a fun alternative to traditional modes of transportation.

Electric unicycles (EUCs) use a single wheel powered by a motor and battery, allowing riders to control speed and direction by leaning. Key components include gyroscopic sensors and accelerometers that help maintain balance, while the control system adjusts motor speed based on the rider's movements. Safety features, such as speed alarms and tilt-back mechanisms, enhance rider security. Overall, EUCs combine advanced technology and mechanics for efficient personal transport.

To ride an electric unicycle, start by choosing the right model and wearing protective gear. Find a safe, open space to practice. Mount the unicycle by placing one foot on the platform and using the other to push off. Maintain balance by keeping your body upright and leaning slightly forward to accelerate. For turning, lean in the direction you want to go, and to stop, lean back and reduce your weight. Practice regularly, stay relaxed, and learn to fall safely for a smoother learning experience. 

When choosing an electric unicycle, consider your riding experience, weight capacity, range, top speed, and wheel size. Look for durability, battery life, and any additional features like lights or smartphone connectivity. Set a budget and check the warranty and customer support options.

Unfortunately we are unable to deliver EUC's to P.O boxes as Australia Post is unable to deliver these items due to the nature and size of the box and unicycles. Exclusively small accessories can be delivered to P.O Boxes

We work primarily with Team Global Express, however we also look at alternative options depending on location, cost and deliver times to keep the cost of shipping as low as possible for each area of Australia. Other couriers we use include Aramex, Couriers Please, and TNT

EUC shipments are automatically put as Signature Required, however you do have the option at checkout to select Authority To Leave if you would like your parcel to be left at your door. 

If you select Signature Required and you are not home at the time of delivery, your package will be taken to the closest depot and through your tracking link, you will have the option to have your parcel redelivered or collect it from the depot. Please note this is something that must be organised directly with the courier. 

Once a new wheel is announced, we will put the wheel up on our website for pre-sale once we have confirmation of pricing from the company. From there, you are welcome to place your order and pay either a 50% deposit or the full amount to secure a unit in our shipment. Once you have placed your order, you will be assigned to our pre-order list and receive regular email updates on the progress of the order. 

Once an EUC sells out, we will place it on backorder to give you the option to secure a unit from our restock shipment. 

Some wheels listed on our site are not actively stocked and are instead ordered in from the company once an order is placed/requested. The reasoning for this is for some of the bigger or less frequently bought wheels

Pre-order and backorder shipments take an estimated 6 - 8 weeks to get to our warehouse in Australia. Please note this timeline is an estimate. Shipments can be held up from either production delays, port delays or traffic in China or Australia, ship diversions, weather incidences, etc. You will receive regular email updates on the order progress from our team as we receive them, as well as a tracking link for the cargo ship once it has been assigned and is on its way to Australia, which will be the same one we monitor. 

Once the ship arrives at the port in Brisbane, it can take a few days for the truck to be loaded and on its way to our warehouse. Once they arrive, our team will QC all wheels and get them prepared to ship out or ready for collection.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the unicycle, avoiding direct water spray or soaking. Pay special attention to the battery and motor areas, keeping them dry to prevent moisture from damaging internal components. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Storage: Avoid storing the battery fully discharged for extended periods. It's recommended to store it with a charge level between 50% and 80%.

• Charging: Perform a full charge-discharge cycle every three months to maintain battery performance.
• Temperature: Avoid using and charging the battery in extreme temperatures (below -10°C or above 45°C) to prevent damage and reduce lifespan.

Check the tyre pressure once a month to ensure it remains within the recommended range (usually indicated on the tyre sidewall). Low tyre pressure can lead to damaging the inner tube or even the motor rim.  Additionally, inspect the tyres for signs of significant wear, cracks, or punctures. Replace the tyres promptly if any damage is detected to ensure safe riding.

For models equipped with suspension systems (such as V11Y or S22), regular inspection is necessary:

• Leak Checks: Look for any signs of oil leaks in the suspension components.
• Noise Inspection: Listen for unusual noises that may indicate wear or damage.
• Professional Service: If any issues are detected, contact a professional service center for adjustment or replacement of suspension parts.

• In cold environments, battery performance may temporarily decrease; this is normal.
• Store the unicycle indoors when not in use to avoid prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
• Ensure the charging environment temperature is above 0°C to avoid damaging the battery.
