Unicycle legend

So, apparently this guy was ripping through traffic on a Houston freeway - has to be seen to be believed… 55mph? 65?

Gigantic balls, or death wish ?

He’s riding an InMotion P6. Advertised to go 93mph! Dude is gonna get these toys banned!

One EUC rider actually passed away in an 70-ish mph accident while testing a Begode at the factory in China right before Christmas 2025. Last I read was that the power pad’s velcro didn’t do it’s job and he lost control and hit a tree.

The way these people ride is impressive as hell, they are literally leaning hard into a fall and the EUC is speeding up or slowing down to keep them from from falling.

This is a hard stop.

I wonder if the dude riding has seen the list.

Super sketchy in the mix of fast traffic…

Max recently set a new record of 93mph on his P6

Well looks like we know what’s going to be next to go after surrons. Probably hasn’t happened yet since I don’t see nearly as many kids on them as bikes. Wonder how jr high / high school kids view EUC. Every kid loves a dirt bike but a unicycle… feels like they’re this generations rollerblades.

I have a beginner EUC I’m learning on, but I can’t help to think how these can be unstable with wind since there’s such a small contact patch on the ground. I just think back when I used to ride, half of the fear is the crash, the other half is getting hit by a car when you’re down.

Just a comment but one of the things I enjoy about esk8’s, is that they are not so popular, and most people don’t really pay attention. It’s only a matter of time, but I felt like esk8’s are much lower on the PEV target list.

Esk8 is Lower profile and lower speeds.

And I feel like people look at me way less crazy if I m in a half shell helmet compared to a full face helmet.

Yeah the friendliness based on helmet type thing is real - I also wear low profile mountain bike pads under more regular style clothes as much as possible - trying to look more like a cyclist than biker

I think it’s a lot to do with not being in traffic. Mess with traffic and people are more likely to hate you lol. Just like cyclists. On a bike path, cool. Holding me up in traffic, not cool.

The new etiquette field for me on Esk8 is park bike paths - less stinkeye looking like the cyclists on them than someone from the dirtbike crew.

Street bike paths are about the same yeah except it seems to psych people out a bit more at stop signs

Sometimes people get mad at me “holding them up in traffic” on my EUC when I’m going 5-10 over the limit already. Fun discussions haha

That might just be an eastern Europe problem though :laughing:

Nope, that’s also a US problem. :face_with_tongue:

holy shit that’s fast for a unicycle. 93 mph !?!!

He’s the undisputed fastest in the world(imo), both on track and in a straight line. He’s working with inmotion officially now.

Super nice dude too.
