rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.As posted by jbriggs444, 18XL nominal (continuous) power is 2200 watts, peak power is 4000 watts. S18 Pro+ is nominal 2200 watts, peak... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.The time was 2.04 seconds, but I don't know the resolution of the timer. On an EUC, the motor torque has to match the torque exerted by... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.EUCs also have 3 axis accelerometers and gyros, and use a algorithm to determine the direction of gravity so they can maintain a... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.My guess is the manufacturers deliberately over-report speed, often around 10%. -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.Riders do that so they can monitor speed while riding. The monitored speed can be GPS or as reported by the EUC. The app has a... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.The app could be using the 3 axis accelerometer and gyro MPU | MEMS chip in a phone, which can determine the direction of gravity and... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.I'm not sure about the app in this case, but suspect that the acceleration is based on change in GPS speed versus time, as opposed to... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.The early ones did Old EUC - SBU With the low foot pegs, the EUC couldn't be tilted much, and combined with the narrow tire couldn't... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.Just the rate of acceleration or deceleration versus how far offset the riders center of mass from the tire contact patch has to be... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.EUC stability. When riding at sufficient speed, about 8 mph | 12 kph for most EUCs, they become self-balancing left + right. An... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.The reason for this is this is a response some making claims about braking distances at another forum, in English units. However, there... -
rcgldr replied to the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean?.EUCs (Electric unicycles are programmed to remain vertical (or at some user set fixed angle), using accelerometers and gyros, similar to... -
rcgldr posted the thread I Acceleration on an electric unicycle, how much does the rider have to lean? in Mechanics.Can someone here check my math? On an euc (electric unicycle), the motor has to exact the same amount of torque onto the wheel+tire... -
rcgldr replied to the thread If you think having a backup is too expensive, try not having one.At my first job in 1973, on a multi-computer multi-tasking database server using HP 2100s, the system had the advantage that it was... -
rcgldr replied to the thread Q-Day: When Quantum Computers can Factor ultra-large numbers in a few....Putting this into perspective. In 2001, quantum computers were able to factor 15 into prime numbers 3 and 5. As of 2025, they haven't...
