Hi there as usually its me, just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
Today we are going to make a grand electric battle! There will be electric
mounting boards on one side – awesome electric transport but a bit underestimated to my mind,
and electric gyro monowheels – well known electric transport that is quite popular throughout the
world. It is really practical and effective kind of transport. Today we will find out
if mounting boards are also as effective as monowheels! Are you ready guys? So lets go!
Well my friends you asked me a long ago to make some video about monowheels. And they are really
worth of it. But today we will review not only monowheels but also electric mountingboards,
cause these devices are quite similar to each other. All the other stuff is not suitable
here , cause electric scooters and bikes are completely another kind of machines.
Today we’ve prepared numerous exciting tests for our devices to show up the difference between
them. But first off all I should thank all of the members of this battle, cause it would be
impossible to make this video without their help. These guys and girls are awesome riders,
really professionals I think today they will impress us greatly. So let me introduce them.
Four people today are in the team of mounting boards!
Meet Evgeniy, Alexander, Stas and Artyom. And only two people today
are in the team of monowheels! But they are really cool. Meet Olesya and Vadim!
And now lets review the devices taking part in our battle. We begin with boards. Actually an electric
mounting board is very similar to a regular skateboard but it is much bigger and with a
suspension system. Riders feet are fastened with a board like on a snowboard. All the mounting boards
we have today – are custom devices made to order. They are very powerful and high quality devices.
The deck is made of a flexible and durable composite material.
There are two motors 3,5 kilowatts power each with a reducer drive 1to4 to rear wheels.
And this is a medical kit! Actually not. It is just a case for the battery.
There is a lithium battery 24 or 38 AH capacity. The battery can be attached over or under the
deck. The wheels are pneumatic 8 or 9 inches. Then we see the advanced suspension and awesome lights.
A mounting board is controlled by this wireless controller. The handling is pretty simple. There
is a joystick, push it for throttle or pull it for brakes. Besides there is such a wrist
computer where we see a comprehensive info about the current status of the device.
Now monowheels. Today we have two models.
The first one – Gotway Msuper Pro. It is one of the most powerful wheels on the market.
Its nominal power is 2 kwt and custom 100 volts battery 2.2 kwt hour capacity.
There is a foldable handle for transportation. There are few buttons to control the power and
lights. There are custom footsteps and some body elements, in fact it is seriously modified device.
And the second wheel Ninebot. It has 1800 watts power motor
and 1000 watts hour battery. The wheel is 457 mm diameter and 103 mm width. Also we see here
custom footsteps and som other elements. And this is certainly the most important modification here.
It is time for weighing the devices. The weight of the boards is from 16 to 18 kilos.
Monowheels are much heavier. Gotway weighs 28 kilos and Ninebot weighs 26
kilos. 26 kilos including the duck I should say.
Well it is enough of theory and now it is time for practice! Lets have a ride!
As I’ve already said monowheels and mountingboards are similar kinds of electric transport.
They are both have similar specs. And one of the most important characteristics
is certainly the range. And gotway monowheel undoubtedly is the best regarding the range.
In fine conditions it can go up to 160 kms. Ninebot monowheel has a less range
but its still quite impressive – 90 kms. As to the range of the boards.
We tested one of them in poor conditions it was 70 kms, and in fine conditions it also can go up to
90 kms. To my mind it is a very impressive result for such compact electric machines.
Speaking about the difficulty of riding, the most complicated task is to learn how to ride on
a monowheel. It may take several days to get the hung of it. But when you start to feel the device
it becomes a part of your body and you can handle it very neatly. As to the board. Personally for
me it is a bit easier to learn how to ride it. It is simpler to keep balance due to the four wheels.
And if you can ride on snowboard you will ride a mounting board without any problems at all.
Now lets make some comparison tests. Firstly our favorite drag racing. We took the most powerful
devices Vadim on Gotway and Artyom to find out who is faster. They seem to be ready, lets go!
As we can see the boards accelerates a bit faster, but then the monowheel
overtakes him. Lets make one more try. And the result is absolutely the same.
Now lets check the maximum speed. The maximum speed of the mounting board
according to a wrist computer is 65 kmh. Now the monowheel. The result is 63 kmh.
Now the jumping test. By the way It is a very useful skill when you need to get over a sudden
obstacle appeared on your way. We will use this block as an obstacle. Now its height is 20 cm.
No problems at all. Now the height of the obstacle is 30 cm.
It is not so simple now but they managed to get it over.
And finally now its height is 40 cm.
We see that the board cheated a little bit and the wheel slightly grazed the block.
So the result in this test is almost the same.
Now a maneuverability test. And this time it is a hard task to compete with the wheel In this test.
Actually an experienced rider can maneuver very precisely on his wheel so it doesn’t make any
sense to measure the turning radius. Lets watch a little bit how they can ride on their devices.
Undoubtedly it is tougher to make harsh maneuvers on a board but as we can see an
experienced rider is able to make some dope stuff. Besides there is a suspension and it
is possible to jump and turn on the spot and finally you can make a wheelie on a board.
And after all we can do a burnout on a board…all this dope stuff is not available on a monowheel.
And the test of brakes. All the members speed up to the same speed and brake simultaneously.
Who stops earlier has the better brakes. The first results are almost the same. But
in the second try Artyom shows us this quite effective way to stop the device immediately.
The next test we will make in a cross country. The
important thing moving in cross country it’s a tire pressure.
By the way We use this tine battery compressor Xiaomi to adjust the tire pressure. It is very
convenient for bikes scooters and so on. If you need such a device I’ll put the link down below.
As to the cross country moving. Well do not expect us to do a tough offroading,
we like it you know us, but this devices are not for mud. But in fact monowheels have quite
a big diameter and e-boards have a suspension system, that is why they are quite capable for
cross country moving. The more practice you have riding these machines the more confident you will
be on a rough terrain. But avoid mud and loose ground our devices are definitely not for that.
If you skilled enough you can try to jump as our riders. But do not forget about the full
set of armor and certainly a helmet is a must. Sometimes shit happens you know.
By the way it is getting dark now and the only thing we should speak about
it’s the prices. Ninebot costs about 1500 dollars,
Gotway about 2000 dollars and e-boards cost from 1200 to 2000 dollars. Well guys, I want you now
to let me know in the comments who the winner is in our electric battle! What did you like more?
And lets call it a day now. Thanks for having a ride with us! Consider subscribing the channel
