Unicycle:
I’ll be riding a Leaperkim Sherman L—a newly released model that’s supposed to have one of the longest ranges of any EUC ever made.
I also own the previous version, the Lynx, and have logged over 3,400 trouble-free miles on it.
Specs:
Weight: ~100 lbs
Top speed: Too fast
Manufacturer-stated range: 125 miles
I bought my EUC from Ewheels. They offer excellent customer service and usually throw in accessories with your purchase. I hope these ridiculous tariffs don’t put them out of business.
For maintenance, I take it to Alien Rides (PEV Works) locally. I’m not sponsored by either of these companies, but if you’re interested in getting an EUC, that’s where I recommend starting.
I also built a janky integrated seat/charger holder for the unicycle. The charger is one of the heaviest things I need to bring, and I wanted it off my back. The seat and mount are made by Bidu, and I bought them from Ewheels.
Charger:
I’m bringing two chargers:
An Ewheels fast charger
The crappy stock charger that comes with the machine
A charger failure could ruin the entire trip, so I’m bringing a backup just in case.
Helmet:
I’m wearing a full-face modular motorcycle helmet made by Sedicci. It’s comfortable, reasonably priced, and has an integrated Bluetooth headset.
Protection Gear:
Fox Titan upper body armor
Leatt impact shorts
Fox shin/knee pads
Work gloves (from Ace Hardware)
Fox motorcycle pants
Camera:
I’m using an Insta360 X5 to record sections of the trip. This thing is crazy cool—it makes it look like you’re being filmed by a drone. Hopefully I don’t break it.
I’ll also be using my iPhone 12 for still shots.
Tools:
Allen wrench set
Leatherman multitool
Zip ties
Duct tape
Paracord
Velcro
Tire repair kits
Extra tire
Superglue
Flashlight
Ponch and space blanket
Laptop:
A cheap-ass ASUS Vivobook. I needed something light enough to carry and cheap enough that I won’t cry if I break it.
Backpack:
I’m hauling all this stuff in a Gregory Zulu 30 backpack I bought from REI. This pack holds 19 lbs of gear.
