Important Information:
How fast and far does the Etaphi Electric T1 Unicycle travel?
All Etaphi Electric T1 Unicycles are rate limited to around 15Km/h. However, the distance they travel on a single charge, depends on several factors. The battery capacity of your Etaphi Electric T1 Unicycle, how much you weigh, the gradient and even how well you ride the Etaphi Electric T1 Unicycle. However, we like to say, with a T1 you should get around 18-20Km between charges.
The distance performance quoted for each model is based on testing at 30 degrees Celsius, testers weight of 60kg, ridden on a flat smooth indoor athletics track at a constant speed of 7km/h (half speed) with no tricks and correctly inflated tyres. Variation from these constants will naturally reduce the range of the Etaphi Electric T1 Unicycle. So uphill, against the wind, heavier rider, rough surface, cold temperatures, higher speeds and under inflated tyres will all reduce the range. With regards to load, the range is reduced by approximately 2-3 km per additional 10kg of load.
How safe is it?
As with any transportation device, riders must use proper safety precautions. All riders should wear trainers and approved helmet/ other safety gear such as knee pads and wrist guards when operating the Etaphi Electric T1 self balancing electric unicycle. Always ride under control at a speed that is safe for you and those around you. Please consult the manual for additional safety information.
Is there a weight limit?
The maximum capacity is 120kg (19 stone).
Are the Etaphi Electric T1 legal to ride on the footpath in Australia?
In Australia, each State has its own laws regarding what can be legally ridden on footpaths or in public areas. In general, and depending on your State, as a general rule, we suggest never riding an Etaphi Electric T1 on a public road of any sort. The specific legislation for each State can be seen on the links below. Please note, this is current at the time of writing, and as with most Laws, they can be changed from time to time. We always suggest checking before riding your Etaphi Electric T1.
