Finally sold it
So after having it for sale for several months, this morning I dropped off the Gotway MCM4 at a local FedEx office to be shipped to it’s new owner in Massachusetts. The wheel had an odd impact on my 2016 Christmas and not a particularly good one. However when Cindy later tried riding the the thinner Inmotion V5F I bought for Katie for Christmas she liked the way it felt much more. Since I was still very excited by the prospect of Cindy learning to ride an EUC I turned around and bought Cindy an Inmotion wheel as well. This left the MCM4 as the misfit EUC.
I couldn’t return the wheel so I thought I may as well add it to the stable of electric unicycles. It’s 14 inch form factor and cool LED light ring made it a nice change up from my big Msuper. I later spent around $100 to put the large pedals that are on the Msuper onto the smaller wheel so I would have more foot comfort.
Shortly after I made the pedal swap Gotway announced some new wheels they were producing, both of which appealed to me. I decided that if I even wanted to consider getting one of these wheels I had to sell the MCM4 first, so I listed it for sale in early February. I had minimal interest until someone that saw me mention I was selling the wheel on one of videos and inquired yesterday. Things progressed from there and as of this morning the wheel is no longer in my possession.
Since that plan was hatched in early February other circumstances and expenses have further retarded any plans to get one of these newer wheels, like the $4000+ new water system. I still do have my eye on a Gotway 22″, 2400WH Monster that can go 75-100 miles on a single charge, no I am not shitting you. The timeline for that happening is unknown, I can be patient.
This weekend has no framework and no expectations. Hopefully there are some blue skies, fresh air and peaceful, simple, happy moments.
