Learning to Ride the SBU - Self Balancing Unicycle

[RRUMR]

Fifteen hundred dollars for this little thing? Seriously?

[unicyclemoe]

can he ride a normal unicycle?

[PowderedDoughnut]

This dude is super annoying. I love the product though. Wish I had the budget for one.

[woodym20]

Seriously, I could've taught this guy how to ride a real unicycle in less time.

[LinusUnicycle]

It took me like 3 hours to learn how to ride a REAL unicycle.. And you can do alot more with a real unicycle then a SBU. The real unicycles are also cheaper. So why should you buy a SBU? You can't do any tricks on it or anything.

[rctrucknut]

so its a cheatercycle, the purpose of a unicycle is to improve your balance

[unoriginal345]

Can you pedal it?

[TitanaMaster]

it took me 1000 hours to learn... hehehehehehe

I'm joking, I have none (yet).

it must be quite fun to ride.

[gramilx]

le veo poco futuro a este aparato, me parece la típica tontuna que sólo se lo van a comprar cuatro payasos para llamar la atención.

[gumbo905]

how much are they

[metalkreationz]

great invention. i can see these actually selling. Real unicycles are great but they really take a toll on the groin ,and for distances they are not efficient. i wonder how many miles you could get to a battery

[IkTheNew]

@metalkreationz The new ones approximately 30 miles... And then 7 houres reloading..

[TheToeh5]

getting a workout lmfao

[GrandmasMan]

if you lean back far enough can you ride backwards

[Unicyclist90210]

Meh, sounds like a really terrible idea. Real unicycles are way more fun, challenging, and rewarding.

[JannesSnyers]

And it took me like 45 min to ride a normal unicycle!!!!

[gbfreak87]

I'll stick to my own unicycles, thanks.

[Yumminess0]

1:10 Skateboard boy goes "WTF?!".

[laurie121212]

It reminds me of a Segway.

[lollerskater]

you look like a queer riding that thing

[FilmstaMan]

whered he get the shirt

[regulator628]

Way to go St. Bonaventure University!!!

[DaneUni]

Sounds nice for commuting (except it would be less of a workout), but it would take all the fun out of normal unicycling!

[MacertoVideo]

but, if i want sop me in a downhill??

[focusdesigns]

The SBU uses the motor to brake.

[MacertoVideo]

but only small drop?

[petersupermann]

@focusdesigns is it recharching then?

[unicyclist41]

can you "idle" or be still without holding on to anything?

[pyroboy08]

@unicyclist41 no, you would have to move forward and back like on a real unicycle, just like you cannot balance a bike unless your moving

[AnOldCripple]

@pyroboy08 You can balance a bike without moving it ever heard of bike trials

[pyroboy08]

@AnOldCripple I don't know anyone who can balance a bike while sitting completely still. I can but only for about 5 seconds

[pyroboy08]

@AnOldCripple in terms of physics its theoretically posible, but it would require all the weight to be perfectly balanced and you would have to lift up your feet at the exact same time with the exact same force on each side, then you would have to remain completely still, even the slightest error in doing so, down to the millionth decimal point would cause you to lose balance. if you fall to one side and lean the other way, you exert force on the bike the other way, so it is humanly immposible

[kiwali]

CAN YOU mount the SBU on any unicycle?

[nyarltep]

that look the kid gives the camera at the

3:13 mark says it all

[Ducklol]

took me 45 minutes to do that on a normal to

2 months are you kidding me!!!!

[mihkeltt]

A proper fun video

[joejumps4fun]

It might be easier to learn if you can already ride a unicycle. So far there are 2 guys that have designed the electric unicycle...I'd love to try it or build one, but not for that much money :( still cool though :D --the fun is in the effortless coasting!

[sharpwheels]

so iff you lean it tries to balance you? so then you lean to move? seems kinda dumb... looks challanging though... i'd try but probly not buy... like unicycletone said...

[fsprinkle]

David...hilarious! The product looks cool too, but you were great. "that's space talk for I'v got a lot of money" ;)

[nymphognome]

wait. i learned how to ride a unicycle and I can balance now myself while riding, idling hoping whatever. why would anyone want this after the 45 minutes it takes to learn to ride except if they're too lazy to pedal themselves? i don't understand the purpose. i think a regular unicycle would be more fun or a bike/motorcycle would be more practical for transportation.

[Masterexploderz]

i wouldnt want to spend almost $2000 to get one

[unicycletone]

Yeah cool - but I prefer my unicycle - but I would love to try one...

[ninjahishi14]

It took me about 45 minutes to get this far on a real uni...this is gay...it looks more relaxing, but I think it's a waste of money...lolz

[nitrosi1]

did it really take you 45 minutes? for some reason i doubt it.

[peroduanippa]

Brilliant product, looks like fun, I'm still trying to ride my regular unicyle, but getting better !

[unicyclefinatic]

its not hard if u can ride a regular unicycle

[crimsong19]

Very cool!

[tryintofindname]

tool

[gocyclone8]

i think it would be even easier to balance on if the pedals where in their normal places instead of in the middle. it would make it more of a stable platform.

[Mcl0vin11]

wtf is that "i tell a joke goat" thing lol! looks pretty fun i wanna try.

[ALIENstupid]

took me two moths to be as good as you on a normal unicycle so great job

[Monsterhooey]

GOAT!

[lilletizz]

I WANT ONE!

[katers113089]

awesome! looks like its pretty easy to learn.. can't wait to try! p.s. david, you are hilarious

[Dronoom]

Do u really have haters!?

[ytnancy1]

AWESOME!!! Looks like a great new sport!

[gaijintendo]

Wait until they invent a self-scratching ass.

[Erveli]

I would love to have one

[mattim00se]

oh my lord man...your amazing. honestly there isnt a youtube video that deserves more comments.

[carlossantana45]

It looks like a navy seal work out, and I should know I was a navy seal and now I'm at NASA and I need to buy one. I think that's a speed bump more than a ramp - DAVID! I'm not a sucka or a hater!
