@@TrooperManaic That’s cool. I work in Edison so when I am free I ride nearby. What wheel do you have?

@@dominiqueguerin2986 - Please tell me your experience with Brake Free. So far no issues with me.

@@Reawer We have robotic surgery at our hospital. In fact, we have 4 such operating rooms. Once all the instruments are properly prepped into the patient, the surgeon sits at a console nearby and starts manipulating the joysticks to control the robot arms for the surgery. It really is like playing a video game for them. I am an anesthesiologist so I don’t work with the robotic instruments. With an extra subspecialty training in pediatric anesthesiology I do have to be adroit with working on the small anatomies of a pediatric patient with respect to procedures and use of drugs. I am not in the military but I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. My instructor used to teach in the military so he taught in us to honor and respect one another. We bowed and spoke to other superiors as if we were in the military. I also do recurve bow and other devices shooting.

Thanks. I’m glad you found it helpful. Enjoy the ride!

@@lunchymunchy2984 The one control is at the middle top area. In this new version, the button is raised. When you press and feel a click, it turns it on. Another short press cycles through the 3 different light modes. Long press turns it off. To remove all doubt if the light is on, I just turn it on first before I put on the helmet. Battery lasts 15 hours on Brake Free so you will still have lots of energy capacity left. Same thing I do with my helmet cam since my battery lasts quite a long time.

@ Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to respon🙏🙏🙏

Yeah the Micro USB is annoying. My helmet cam is new but it still has MINI USB for charging. That is really annoying for me. I did not realize there is a white version of the Brake Free. Alex the CEO of Brake Free just told me last week that they just recently received the shipment of the USB-C helmet lights. I just sent Alex a question regarding a white version with USB-C. Will let you know his response.

Alex just responded. The white versions with the upgraded USB-C connection will arrive in November this year.

Yes that adhesive really is hard to remove once set. The KZbin intro is still actually the same length. I met you halfway since half of it has new footage and gives the intro a newer meaning. This updated intro is also in its premiere showing. By the way, the intro describes my medical background in 16 seconds and gives the viewer a window into how I think. I am actually going to change the title a bit now so that viewers won’t skip the “usual” intro. Thanks for watching.

@@rezashah481 Thanks, Brother Reza! 🙏🏼

I have tried my usual goggles and they work well. I actually just keep the visor up when I have the goggles on. The goggles are so streamlined that they would probably fit under the visor too. I will try it next time.

@@360vroomers Congrats! The medium size fit well on my head. Yeah I would not recommend this for over 20 mph rides on an EUC. This helmet is better for those mellow rides on my A2. At least at slow rides you can run out of a crash or at least be able to do evasive maneuvers to prevent a faceplant. It also doesn’t look as intimidating to moms pushing their stroller or to cops. This helmet is also better than a regular bike helmet. At least I only paid $130. I would not buy this for $325. That is insane. This is more for e-scooters, e-bikers and OneWheelers who will have less chance of a faceplant.

@@AdamU1016 Uhuh. I got this helmet for vlogging so for vloggers like us, our viewers can see our mouth. But in a faceplant, I think the helmet chinbar would be pushed down and I’d smash my nose and mouth. 😅

@@arieswaters Even with suspensions on the Falcon, you still feel more comfortable on the 16S? I have ridden the 16S and it certainly does feel very stable on it. At a certain speed the smaller wheel becomes sketchy too.

@@ed_boogie That is what I plan to do. I have goggles that block out 100% of the wind and dirt from my eyes. I will use the visor on top of the goggles just to have some sun glare protection.

@@jonoeuc The helmet is for mellow rides. I would not wear it when going past 20 mph. When I am tinkering with my A2 is when I would consider this helmet. The MIPS basically is a cushion of support that adds some shock dispersion. Instead of the brain being made to absorb the rotational torsion, the MIPS component allows the head to move slightly inside the helmet to help disperse some of the kinetic energy that the helmet absorbs in a crash. There is no noise from the MIPS effect.I went as fast as 40 mph on my V13 just to test out the helmet and I did not hear any significant wind noise from the big holes for the ears. By the way, I would never use this helmet for fast rides but for this review of the helmet, I went against my own rules.

@@AdamU1016 thanks!

I have heard from other people that if you message them on IG, they will respond. Hope you get yours soon.

however i do prefer its bleu aesthedics and simplicity still hard to say for me, espically now that i see a 50s battery is kind of nessecary, which bumps it up from 900 to 1300 on alienrides

@@Nibiru_-_Gen_Z_Warlock If you have the funds, go for the T4 Pro. It’s more expensive than the A2. The A2 with 50S can be had now for as low as $1,100 on EWheels. If you are OK with non 50S batteries you can get it at EUC Underground for $900. The T4 Pro has suspension and is $2,000. Faster, bigger battery and you won’t outgrow it as fast as the A2.

@@peppesimone4897 Over the years my gear have become more visible. Being seen is part of being a safe rider. A fluro vest would certainly make one more visible.

Yeah this is not worth it at $300. I am glad I got it at $130. This helmet would be perfect when I am cruising at 15 mph on my A2. I would never use this for fast rides on my V13. I would not feel comfortable in a high speed crash with this helmet.

Thanks Bro. It is the most comfortable helmet I ever had. There is so much ventilation that I can feel the wind blowing on my head. The wide open hole for the ears are great for enhanced awareness. I just need to put on a helmet mirror and I will be all set.

I guess the UPS guy was in a good mood that day. 😂

I paid with my own money so I didn’t have to cave in to any promo pressure. For fast rides, I would stick to the Bell full face helmet. For my mellow A2 wheel ride, this Beam helmet will do and it won’t look too overgeared with such a small wheel too. Have safe rides!

@@jonwall4994 My videos are usually to the point. I try not to fill it with fluff. Thanks for watching.

@@Reawer The helmet is low on di-lithium crystals but I think once I get enough of them, I hope to be able to beam. 😂

@@darrenboone4239 Thanks. Yeah the light is small. I will check out the Guardian Angel light.

​@@AdamU1016 I've been suggesting to Bob Yan at Pidzoom that they should develop a Guardian Angel light competitor with a better price point.

@@senseivegan Hi Sensei! It took almost a year and a half from ordering to at-the-doorstep arrival. I kept getting updates about all the revisions to improve safety. I feel the wait was worth it. The material feels really thick yet light. The quality was quite impressive. This is the most comfortable helmet I have ever had and I have tried many. I love all the ventilation ports which makes it perfect for summer riding. I can truly hear the outside noise with the wide open ear holes on the side. The chin guard to my surprise was more substantial and rigid than I had anticipated. I am really loving the back light accessory. I am looking forward to your impressions of this hybrid helmet. Take care, Sensei.

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!

KZbinr <PEV Point of View> experienced that too. If I understood his video correctly, he concluded that the right-hand button was occasionally sticking in the "down" position and that that turned off the wheel.

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.
