I know about 4 and they are all surgeons in my hospital. I was the one responsible for getting them into the Wheel life. There are also a couple of docs in the Philippines that I know of. One is a surgeon that I interviewed back in February of this year. The other one is an anesthesiologist and he owns the Unitron EUC store in the Philippines.

@@AdamU1016 looks like co-workers of the same professions are much easier to convince than neighbors for some reason. Even though the entire neighborhood sees me riding my EUC all the time.

@@waynechiang1016 I talk about EUCs with so much passion that they end up getting convinced how amazing these Wheels are. 😁

@@AdamU1016 you must be very well respected in your line of work to exert that kind of peer pressure on your colleagues.

@@waynechiang1016 I have been in practice at my hospital for 25 years now and have gotten to know all the surgeons very well. I guess I am an influencer with the way I talk so passionately about EUCs.

@@Pantera-tp6jz I do appreciate your input but did you even watch a second of the video? I mentioned that I would be riding it for mellow rides. For the faster group rides, I would be using my Bell full face helmet. A helmet is better than no helmet in a slow speed fall. As a favor, please watch my video as I really put great effort in presenting my point of view.

​ @AdamU1016 i did watch the second part of the video but still my point stands those helmets are designed for skiing where obstacles are quite rare, the bar could in my opinion easily split on a rock or a curb during a fall causing substantial injuries. I don't so much mind the helmet itself being used but in my opinion a half shell mountain biking helmet would offer better protection.

@@Pantera-tp6jz The half shell helmet has no front protection at all. The POC helmet in the video has the front portion of the helmet so thick that in addition to the chin bar which I had also mentioned was further reinforced with another same POC chin guard (therefore double the firmness and thickness of the original) should be able to provide enough tension and protection to prevent a full on faceplant. I have since strengthened the chin guard with paracord wrapped multiple times at 3 major points. The half shell helmet would have no face plant protection at all. As I said in my video, this POC helmet with reinforced chin guard and SPIN technology (similar to MIPS) will be enough for slow rides less than 20 mph. When one crashes at that speed, it is not like a tree that falls flat on the ground. The body is in a forward motion so the kinetic energy is being dissipated as one slides to a stop. When an EUC rider falls, we don’t have the Wheel still connected on our feet. We become disconnected to the EUC and able to move our legs and free hands to do evasive maneuvers. In addition, we are not rag dolls that just flop down in a fall. Evasive maneuvers such as tuck and roll and even just a movement of the free hands with wrist guards. In a slow crash there is increased reaction time. In addition to all I mentioned, the POC helmet with reinforced chin guard will be enough in a slow speed crash. It also does not look as intimidating as my Bell full face. All these justifications and more are explained in my well thought out video which I hope you will watch in its entirety and not just look at the cover picture for the conclusion.

Thanks! I love the intro because that short clip basically describes my channel since it shows the wheel and my scrubs from work. I try to provide some medical info to my wheel videos. I was also giving it a Superman type of vibe with the green jacket in slow motion. 😂 Thanks for watching!

All those miles on the Master Pro have really made you well adapted to all the quirks of a big heavy wheel. That’s all one really needs is just more riding time and lots of patience. Have safe rides!

@@senseivegan Thanks, Sensei. The EX20S is quite a heavy wheel indeed. With the smaller size wheel, you have better torque and maneuverability. I have never ridden one but would like to try it out someday. Hope to see you at the NYC Summer Streets!

@@AdamU1016 I will be at NYC Summer Streets this Saturday. Hopefully we can meet up.

@@senseivegan That’s awesome. We will be meeting up at City Hall Park at 10:30 am this coming Saturday. Hope to see you then.

@@AdamU1016 I'll message you my cell number and we can plan a meetup spot.

@@OnAirPromo Thanks, Bro. I actually wanted to go into more detail about the quads but felt some might get turned off so I just kept it short.

@@AdamU1016 Well anytime you want to discuss it in your videos I'm all eyeballs. That stuff is fascinating.

@@Dogo.R My previous pads before the Teprides pads were much wider so they never really allowed me to lean at a strong angle. When I would stop, my balancing leg was basically free and not locked in by the pads. When it came time to mount again, I ended up trying to reposition both legs for an adequate lean. This process took too long and did not give me enough momentum to move forward and balance because gravity from the steep hill angle basically kept the wheel at an almost standstill with 2 opposing forces cancelling each other out. Trying to balance on a wheel at standstill was indeed quite difficult. When I tried Isaac’s technique of a locked in leg already engaged on the pedal, all I had to do was kick off strongly while the other locked in leg was already engaged in a lean. Once the kicking leg became planted and locked in on the other side, I was already at a great enough speed to move forward.

I had an MTen3 before that I would leave in the car if it wasn’t too hot outside. If there was a gap in my work, I would ride it around my building or even around the block just to get some fresh air.

@@grb1969 If you are referring to the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath, I have not tried on the V13 yet. I have ridden my KS18L and Nikola on that path in group rides and they were a joy to ride.

@@segundacuenta726 Thanks for the kind words. The big wheels are more stable for long rides. Seated riding is amazing on my V13. You will also absorb well the imperfections of the road such as bumps and gravel. When I am going slower that is when the V13 really is at a disadvantage. At slow speed maneuvering is not as nimble. Starting from zero speed on a hill is also cumbersome. The end torque is less on the bigger wheels so climbing uphill or when going slowly on grass can be a struggle. Wobbles can also be scary with the bigger wheels but I have adapted my riding style now to prevent wobbles. You will use more thigh and core muscles versus riding the smaller wheels such as when I had my Nikola. Do I love my V13? Absolutely. I just need to get better pads than what I currently have and I am sure hills will be much more manageable. Riding style has to be adapted too to really appreciate a big wheel. My next video will actually be about challenges of a big wheel. As soon as I can get some free time I will be working on this next project.

@@AdamU1016 Nice, looking forward to your video on big wheels. There are so many new models coming up it's crazy! Also it would be awesome if you eventually make a video on the 3 "main" sizes: Small (portable, even for backpacks) such as the mten4, mten5, Medium (such as the Falcon or Extreme) and Big (for speed, long ranges, or ultimate comfort). Apart from that I'd be very much interested in what wheels are comfortable walking with (using the trolley handle or some other invention). I mean for walking for miles with the wheel. That is because some of us like talking a walk, and the wheel would allow one to get to a place where one would take a walk, but can't leave the wheel there. For small wheels it is possible to fit in a backpack but that has its limitations (weight and how fit and willing one is to walk carrying weight). So for the bigger wheels the only option is walking together with the wheel, but I have not seen this covered anywhere. Specially since those who use PEVs walk even less or stop walking altogether lol... It would be nice if you covered the necessity for walking as a functional and healthy part of life. Cheers

@@segundacuenta726 That’s a pretty good topic to discuss. I will take that into consideration.

@@segundacuenta726 I think at least from my experience that the number one cause of an accident when riding is distraction. So many people get easily distracted. I am guilty of that myself too. I had cracked my rib when I fell on the side after a pedal clip when I was riding my KS18L 5 years ago. I was preoccupied while riding slowly and did not notice the bridge I was crossing had side supports that protruded on the path. That fall hit my ribs hard. I actually had a few milliseconds to think to not put my hand out to prevent a possible wrist fracture. I thought that by just falling on the side I could avoid any injuries. Unfortunately, my ribs felt the brunt of the impact. Since then in 2019, I studied some basic Parkour moves should similar falls occur. It wasn’t too far from what I knew from my youth since I am a black belt in TaeKwon Do and also was taught judo techniques. The safety fall just needed to be modified for landing on concrete. We can get hurt no matter what our speed is. When I ride slowly I sometimes don’t wear a helmet but always wear wrist guards. For faster rides, full gear all the way. Other key things to consider are situational awareness. It is also just as important to learn to fall properly as well as mastering the EUC.

@@EUC_Senior I live in Central Jersey.

Ok. Wasn’t sure if you lived in NY because it would be good to hook up with you. Hope to find you at the next ride in the city! Mark

I do this EUC NYC Summer Streets yearly event. We have one on August 17th Saturday this year at 10:30 am. Meetup at City Hall Park by the huge fountain. It’s a mellow chill ride so all levels are welcome. Come join us.

I will definitely think about it!

@@EUC_Senior The link is in the description but I will post it here. amzn.to/3LJui7y Have safe rides!

Thank you! I wish you safe rides too!

@@EUC_Senior It’s not uncommon to get wobbles when you first start out. Especially with the wheels being so much bigger and faster now. Fatigue definitely can precipitate a wobble. I get that too when my legs are sore. Seated riding will quell those wobbles. I never had a wobble with seated riding. Basically the more you ride the stronger and durable your legs will be. You will also learn so many tricks such as carving that can help prevent wobbles. Carving can be mini and doesn’t have to be wide. Deep squatting to slow down as well as accelerating can also get rid of wobbles. Just do more riding. You will get the hang of it.

Привет, твои ноги привыкнут и без протеина! Лучший совет это ездить на комфортной для себя скорости. С опытом эта скорость будет увеличиваться естественным образом. Твоё тело будет делать всё само, без участия твоего мозга, автоматически (аппаратное ускорение). Так же как мы ходим, мы не думаем как мы это делаем, мы просто ходим без всяких теорий.

@@archmagus1510 I love my A2. I weigh 200 lbs and it can move me around with ease. I don’t go more than 32 kmh (20 mph) just to be on the safe side. You can set the PWM to 80% and you will be fine. Between the A2 and T4 you will have more buffer with the T4 before reaching cutout. The T4 has a bigger battery and stronger motor so it will move you around better as well as less chance of cutout if you decide to be aggressive in riding. Can the A2 handle you with your 230 lb weight? Of course it can. However, in terms of safety, you will have more buffer capacity with the T4 as stated earlier. You mentioned about the 25 kmh and greater than 25 kg weight as a limitation before needing insurance so with that criteria the A2 will fit the bill. With regards to the speed limitation by your country, the greater speed capability of the T4 just means it will be safer and your country doesn’t have to know that it can easily go over 30 mph. However, the T4 is heavier at 32 kg so you won’t be able to hide that spec. The main caveat with the A2 is just to stay under 20 mph and don’t be too aggressive in your riding. The A2 is very portable and can easily fit in a regular gym locker too. So if you want a wheel for mellow rides, then the A2 is perfect. I have the InMotion V13 when I really want to ride aggressively. If you want something you can be aggressive with and not spend too much, then the T4 would be for you.

@@AdamU1016 yeah that gym locker,locker at work and waterproofing is a big deal to me...thanks for the great reply...

@@christinaguindon3050 - The POC helmet is super comfortable in both summer and winter. The main reason I use it is to not be so intimidating when I do my mellow rides. Definitely not as protective in a faceplant versus a real full face helmet but certainly better than no helmet at all. Have safe rides!

@@nuruddinzabidi6972 The A2 is certainly a wheel for mellow rides and it does a great job. I can cruise up to 20 mph (32 kmh) before it beeps on me. The A2 is a great supplement for my other bigger and faster wheel, the InMotion V13.

@@georgieman1910 Same way you turn when standing up riding. Apply more pressure on the same pedal as the direction of the turn. If you have a grab bar on your wheel, holding on to the bar will give you some reassurance as you are turning.

The rapid decrease that occurs when we slow down on the EUC slightly changes the direction of the wheel of travel. That small change in direction will initiate the wobble. When we try to quell it by purposely trying to balance out the asynchrony only worsens the wobble. Lower psi will help decrease the wobble. However, with the EUC’s one wheel there are other ways to help decrease the wobbles. Carving riding helps decrease the chance. Having your feet askew vs symmetrical will cause a mini carving when you ride. Wobbles are more likely to happen when you slow down from a great speed. Ways to dissipate the wobble are a deep squat or do seated riding. Accelerating will also eliminate the wobbles.

Did you watch the end of the video at all? The last clip where I am seated riding with full gear shows I have a helmet cam. That’s my usual gear when I ride the streets. I don’t wear a helmet cam riding around the parking lot for 5 minutes as shown in the beginning of the video. Just look at the last 17 seconds of the video and that will un-nullify your statement. 😂 I am only in the video in the beginning and at the end.

@@AdamU1016 I am aware that it is you riding without helmet in both clips in the beginning of your video. But I guess no one ever crash for riding 5 minutes in a parking lot...

@@JonahOnEUC I can tell from our conversation that this is the first time you have ever been on my channel so I can truly understand why you questioned the validity of my safety video. I am a physician anesthesiologist and most of my videos contain some medical background although none was mentioned in my current one. That is why in the beginning of the video I was wearing scrubs while riding an EUC which conveys my 2 passions. I was trying to shorten my video so I just incorporated my KZbin intro with me riding my A2 in the rain riding the same path as the intro. Many of my videos are actually about safety and EUC because I see so many injuries in the operating room. Please feel free to take a look at “Why is the Clavicle So fragile” or “The EUC Life Saved me” on my channel so that you will appreciate what my channel is about.

@@AdamU1016 I watched your videos before I got my first wheels 2 years ago... And I have watched those 2 videos you mentioned.

Yeah I have seen enough instances from my own experience as well as others that having recorded evidence can come in quite handy. Now I don’t always feel like I have to always carry a selfie stick which adds more to my safety. I have seen those clip on body cams and they are of very good quality at much less than helmet cams. How much battery life do you get with yours and what model? Yeah I love this motorcycle jacket. It’s called Cortech Aero Flow. Great quality. Very comfortable and has an extra liner for winter mode. amzn.to/3XG1ALZ

When it’s wet I just won’t ride. The sidewalk certainly would be safer if it’s available.

I am fine and so is my car. The only thing damaged is the windshield. I just got off the phone with my insurance company and they are paying for the whole $538 to have the auto glass people replace the windshield. 🥳 If I had to pay a deductible I would have been calling up that company that installed the sign. I was so glad I had a dash cam. That really came in handy. I am hyper-vigilant when I ride. Too many variables out there. I use my wheel for fun and would never try using it to commute. It would take an hour. I have thought about it though to maybe just drive the car halfway and then ride the wheel.

@@AdamU1016 that dash cam has paid for itself! But yes I figured you don’t commute on euc. I happen to live close enough to work and can get to the office within almost the same amount of time as my car but it’s too risky so I don’t do it even though I wish I could.

I was trying to relate my freak accident to what could happen to us when we ride our wheels. I mentioned if that freak accident I had occurred while on an EUC, I would have really been badly injured. That sign could have easily flown all the way to the far right and injured even the most careful EUC rider. The accidents I showed were not really freak accidents but were due to rider error and road rage car drivers but then after all my web search these were the best I could get on a rider riding a wheel or wheels. My key point was to always be aware and alert and have video evidence should it come down to a legal or insurance issue. In my case, if I were really litigious and had a serious outcome, my lawyer would be putting a call out to that company listed on the sign. The company would have “lots of splaining to do”. 😂

@@AdamU1016 Right, I agree with you. I felt I needed to say what I said in the initial message, because there are riders who like to blame their crashes on everyone else, but themselves.

I agree not to the far right. There definitely are lots of debris in the far right. Especially after wintertime, you can literally see lots of dirt and leaves and debris. I am actually at the very edge of the bike lane (if there is one) when I am that far out, I am constantly scanning my helmet mirror as well as what’s in front of me.

I remember you clearly. We had a long discussion about ATVs. You even showed me a video. That was cool. That’s the kind of adrenaline rush that we both certainly appreciate. Thanks for the offer. We can do a mutual barter of skills learning. Hope all is well with you.

I know what you mean. The nurses I work with wear scrub suits and caps all day. When I see them on the street and they are saying hello to me, I have to get a few seconds to figure out who they are. 😂 I can reassure you that is me at the end. If you’ve ever watched my other videos, that is my usual look. 😊

Thanks Brother Larry. I was pissed about it though. I was cursing like crazy after the accident so I silenced most of it since some young people do watch my videos. I had to put duct tape when I drove back home the following day. I was afraid the crack would expand when I got on the highway going 80 mph. Thank God the crack did not expand. In the past it expanded so that was my fear. On the waiting list for Safelite now. 🙄
