7 Myths about EUC's

[@GingerOnWheels]

Awesome idea for a video! Just watched the whole thing with my GF and she agreed to come out and try and learn on my v8 today 😃 . You're definitely right about the flat tire thing, I've ridden a thousand miles or so on a handful of different wheels and only ever got one flat because the psi in the tire was too low (I knew it and went on a short ride anyway) and I got a pinch flat. Other than that, I've ridden over glass and sticker bushes with no problems. 🤷‍♂️

[@kurt.dresner]

It's so rainy today tho :(

[@GingerOnWheels]

@@kurt.dresner we've got big huge underground parking garages all over here 🙂

[@kurt.dresner]

@@GingerOnWheels OK OK fair enough. 😊

[@GingerOnWheels]

@RightThe Hand ouch... Gotta remember to pump up them tires out of the box! Or was it a puncture flat?

[@deeshizzlee]

That must be why I got my first flat within a month of having mine. Pain to change! I had it low psi to learn riding and never pumped it up. Lesson learned!

[@alanclayton3775]

60 years old and I taught myself to ride the Kingsong 16x in a month of Sundays. Now I can just walk out of my house and bomb around town on my EUC every weekend. Riding is so fun and I feel so free. For me, growing up in the sixties, it is the promise of the 21st century fulfilled.

Watching you and Chooch Tech ride an EUC has convinced me that ANYTHING can be done on this device. All of you EUC riders are such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for another great video and keep up the great work 🌑😃

[@FabriDragon]

I am a master on a bicycle and go karts have many years longboarding. I got a KingSing 16x and learned by practicing a couple hours a day for a few days (legs get tired quickly when first starting). It’s nothing like a bicycle or skateboard so I had to learn a whole new vehicle. Overall, from someone that has never ridden any other unicycles, I’m very happy with getting an EUC

[@FabriDragon]

I added thick foam pads which made a huge difference. Way more comfortable and stable

One thing I found out empirically was that rural-ish gravel roads meant for cars(non-asphalt road surface but hardpacked sand and dirt covered with gravel the size of a finger tip) is really bad to ride on. Having to constantly keep the euc under control when the gravel slips and slides you around is really tough and exhausting. I had traveled about 40km and I got onto a road like described above. I couldn't ride it and had to call my friend who lived nearby to come and get me. The road went on for 6km and I had ridden only 1.2km of it at slow speed(10-15kmh) to avoid wiping out all the time. Also, muddy patches on any road surface usually means a wipe out or atleast a butt clinch and a heart attack. They don't have to be deep but they just need a little bit of moisture and they are horrible dirty, slidy, slimy death traps waiting for me to miss one and ride straight into one. I have been getting better at avoiding wipe outs on muddy surfaces but too many times I've fallen due to leaf mush on the ground.

[@GplusGains]

Wet leaves...not good.

[@Enderplays12]

I reckon that eye for eye a unicycle is one of the safest vehicles, just behind cars and their huge hunks of absorption material. Scooters have that long tube, great for breaking ribs and hips in frontal collisions, just like bikes. Bikes can fall over you, squishing your legs, torso, arms, depending on the scenario. With unicycles you will either just slide hella fast or hit whatever you'd hit anyways. The real danger with unicycles is the "oh it's just a EUC, I'll just put a helmet, if It was dangerous I'd need a license.

[@fredisyoga873]

In Canada yay! Thanks for the shout out lol. Just started this year so not sure if I’ll start winter riding this year but yeaa you know what.. why not! :)

[@Trener_Artem]

I prefer using bicycle when its wet or cold. Thats great for health and also warm, as you doing cardio while driving. Most of the other time i use my EUC)

[@greenwave819]

Hello from the USA. New EUCist here. I have the 2nd batch of the Gen2 EX.N HS. We have a lot of hills here. Just rode up a very steep hill today. Honestly I could not bike up this hill. it's steep. the EX was fine! EUC up yhall, they are sooooo much fun and good environmentally friendly transport.

[@HerricktheMildlyPerturbed]

You mentioned that you feel like having one wheel makes it more sturdy against flats. This is actually true. Most flats are caused by debris being kicked up, turned or loosened by the front wheel and then hit by the rear wheel. Front wheels get flats far less often. On EUC all you have is front wheel, so fewer flats.

[@oldretireddude]

I've got 275mi on my V8F. I agree that it is not hard to do, the difficult part, for me, was the leap of faith that the EUC was not going to let me fall forward or backward once I stepped onto it. I think most people have this mental image of a skateboard or other non computer controlled devise that free wheeled out from under them in their childhood. I believe that riding an EUC is really much like coasting on a your bicycle with no hands on the handlebars.

[@RobUKTH]

Great video Adam! I've grabbed a copy of the share link, to send to those friends / relatives that ask the same questions, you've covered! Keep up the great work! 😎🙏

Hello from canada!! I ride EUCs in winter a lot!! I rode my Inmotion v8, and now my Kingsong 18xl in winter, as well as my first wheel, an Airwheel x3(don't buy one, they suck). thanks so much for the video adam!!!!

[@mr_wrongway]

Cheers mate! Happy to share ;)

[@jeremycondon3692]

I have interest in the 18XL. Are you a larger rider? I’m 6’5” and would be about 255-260 geared up. I’m curious to hear input from riders of this size on this wheel.

[@joyridewheels4870]

Nice video, its great to see myths debunked and encouragement to get others to get into riding!

[@TheBuzzBen]

Riding in snow in Canada. The only thing is the snow builds up inside the wheel making friction and the battery dies faster.

[@bemep0k]

I kid you not...until you've actually pointed with your hands on the EUC on the table I thought that was a coffee machine

I ride in Canada's Yukon Territory. They can handle winter, with a knobby tires, and foot-plates.

[@mr_wrongway]

Cool! Thanks for the comment :)

[@dtsubera]

the real point I hear about the most is braking. "there is no brakes on it thats because I prefer be bike and will never use one of those". Someone even said that EUC brakes as fast from 15km/h as a car from 50km/h in the comments on FB. will be great to see a good comparison video I can share with experienced euc, e-scooter and bike riders. Emergency braking I mean

[@M4DP3Y]

Wellcome to Wrong Wayyyy

[@TheLillianYoung]

I’m coming from several PEVs including the now defunct Segway PT. I think having been a Segway rider helps but there’s still side-to-side balancing that’s challenging during the learning phase. I’d say the most dangerous aspect for a slow rider like me (avg. 9-11mph) is how the wheel rolls away upon loss of control as it did in your video here. In crowded spaces or near cars, cliffs and water that can be dangerous. Otherwise I love EUCs so much that I got rid of almost all others and it’s the only one I ride.

[@ozramblue117]

Got my Euc day before yesterday. Did not take that long to be able to ride around the block. Still need some practice to get it fully subconscious but way faster than learning to ride a bicycle. The only big adjustment for me are my calves and ankles. They hurt! I’m sure that will go away. My first euc is a V8f. I’m glad I got it.

[@MrMalaprade]

I get my KS-S18 probably today and getting really excited. ;) Btw, nice to see that you have visited Finland. I live in Helsinki. Let me know when you are coming to Finland next time. Let's have a ride together.

[@PhillHalloran]

It also turns due to gyroscopic precession at high speeds. A displacement in centre of mass of the system away from upright and the force of gravity causes a torque on the wheel (around the roll axis), which in turn causes a torque (around the yaw axis) which turns the wheel.

[@longzero]

I ride in winter in Canada. First time I fell was because of ice :P

[@vnmnavarro71]

Cool couple rides. 👍👍 Ride safe you two.

[@jstolba]

Hey Adam, braking would be an interesting point for rme. Compared to Scooters, E-bikes.

[@patregan]

I'm 43 years old and 200 pounds. I haven't really even ridden a bicycle since I was 14. I figure if I can learn to ride, anyone can!

[@philopinas]

It would take you a couple of years maybe to learn euc if you dont know how to ride a bicycle.

[@patregan]

@@philopinas I wonder about this! I bet you're right, but I also wonder if the old bicycle instincts burned into my brain 30+ years ago are the ones we have to unlearn to let the EUC balance for us! :)

[@katonchik]

Practically all my falls were on potholes and bumps. Especially on unknown roads or in the dark or dusk.

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I have ordered two inmotion V11’s and can’t wait to get started on them. May I as where you are from and how you got started on EUC’s?

[@freestyler7]

I think you forgot one of the most frequent questions I get: how do they break or is the braking good? I usually show them your video comparison you did with a dualtron and actually broke faster

[@mr_wrongway]

You are correct! I need to make a comparison vid again against a scooter :)

[@ResthanthreeGGWP]

[@arcrides6841]

Myth Number 8: One Wheels are better than EUCs for riding at the beach. I've been riding my sherman on bumpy and loose sand on the beach at 55 km/h for long stretches. Even a fat scooter can't do that. I don't know if my car could even do that. And the sherman just keeps pushing through the sand for hours. Using the One Wheel at the beach I would feel like a small child playing in the sand. Whereas the sherman feels like a mad max style extreme machine. And if you fall off the EUC it's a nice easy fall as you say. Falling off the one wheel is way more punishing even though the thing is about as fast as grandma's 12V mobility scooter. What a brilliant combo that is!!

[@edgarkazak5228]

I hit a pothole ones, and it made me fall at around 40kmh. But it's not because it was EUC, as any electric scooter would end up the same way at that speed and depth of the pothole. So really, its better to watch the road, instead of spreading myths:)

[@steve00alt70]

When it cuts off, doesnt the wheel itself keep rolling to come to a stop? Do you mean that?

[@olgac9121]

Hola, If I get a flat tire...I don't have to disconnect ALL the rim from the motor !! NO NO I only extract the tube with 2 flat screwdrivers, look for the broken one, stick a patch, put the tube back into the rim, inflate and go. I already did it and it works. You take 15 or 20 minutes. And you don't put your hand in the electrical circuits of your wheel Te mando un abrazo, from Medellin Colombia

[@lolman895]

Hi! I bought a v10f last week and i think i should extend the sidepads.👍 I'd like to ask, what is the correct pose? Should the sidepads touch your legs when you stand straight? Or should it be a few cm-s there?

[@Vandyke0147]

For a very beginner: 2 kilometers to get tired knees and feet Intermediate rider: about 5-6km Advanced rider: 15km+

[@BigChiefWiggles]

The biggest problem I see with EUC is repairing a tire if you get a flat away from your house. On a bicycle: 10 minutes. On a esk8 ... you arent getting a flat. On an EUC ... screwed.

[@hhead56]

Spot on thanks.

[@deeshizzlee]

The spikes don’t mess up your shoes too much? I just replaced my grip tape with vicious brand and I’m happy with it but those spikes look promising. Great points, when I started riding mine to work and no one had ever seen one I got every one of these questions multiple times a day.
