The absolute worst, most despicable thing about those dang EUCs... is they are SO addictive! Once you have been bitten by them... you find yourself whimpering on rainy days when you can't get outside to ride... or you plan to go for a ride after work and the boss asks you to work late... then you get hot sweaty feeling and your eyes start watering... Then, you find yourself giving up playboy magazines in favor of looking at EUC brochures and dreaming of which new and expensive wheel you need to buy (I mean want).... and who you will have to rob to be able to afford to purchase them... er, I mean IT. So, if you have even a slightly addictive personality (or, one of your personalities) is very susceptible to addictions... probably would be easier in the long run... if you took up crochet... or knitting? hahaha

10:41 That's one of the reasons why I decided to buy a EUC instead of a bicycle or electric scooter. You don't need to worry about your expensive bike being stolen because you can bring your transport with you to a store or cafe. Or you can buy a shitty bike and don't get any enjoyment of the riding.

I think one thing I’d add and have experienced myself is safety, especially in cities with bad infrastructure for bikes/pevs (such as toronto where i live). I’ve been almost hit way too many times and actually been hit once. EUCs particularly take a lot of practice and skill to be able to avoid accidents, lots of practice braking hard and learning how cars will behave in your area. After being hit I now purposely slow down at every crossway anticipating that every car is out to kill me. But; I still ride it everyday to work and would rather ride it than take the subway to avoid congestion and making my moneys worth from owning one!!

I'm a road cyclist and will travel about 30mph on flat roads, sometimes 60mph downhill, yet I'm just wearing lycra and a helmet. One of the advantages of euc is your hands are free so you can wear more protection without compromising your control over the vehicle (ie wrist guards with handlebars)

As soon as I mustered up the courage to hit the concrete I realized how much easier it was. Then when I tried riding the turf again I'd have wrestle the thing under control.

Just wanted to add to this,I'm considering getting an EUC but only to replace the public transportation of my commute to work. I plan to ride the EUC where I usually ride public transpo and get off and walk with the trolley to where I usually get off public transpo. I am also trying to lose weight so that my EUC would not have issues carrying me. My commute is around 10-15kms so I really can't just walk that the whole way without being drenched when I get to work so I just planned to replace the public transpo part :D

So far, after using an EUC for a bit, I've found two problems that - although they won't stop me from riding the EUC - can still be considered a weakness of this mode of transportation. One - well, that one is more about laws than anything, but with some other vehicles, e.g. bicycles you can legally pull a cart, or push a wheelbarrow if you want to carry some more stuff than can fit in a backpack. With an EUC this may be interpreted as illegal, since you're not allowed to 'pull vehicles, or carry large luggage with a PEV', so - just in case - I haven't tried to see how doable/practical that would be. Still, I don't want to own a car, so I have to get creative when transporting larger objects etc, so I think a cargo bike might be a better alternative for that. Second thing - while many EUC owners speak about using EUCs in 'trolley mode' when walking in crowded spaces, restaurants, shopping centres and such... I've found this to be very problematic in practice. Either you do it with the wheel turned off, in which case it's really clumsy. Or you do it with the wheel turned on, in which case the motor assists in the process... but you run the risk of freaking people out with an accidental freespin. Or it might even hurt people. Now, with practice you might be able to have enough control over the wheel that you won't accidentally cause the freespin yourself. But if someone else accidentally bumps into you, kicks the EUC, or anything else outside your control happens... and same in public transport. I can't imagine having the EUC turned on while on a bus, which means it has to be turned off. Which makes it clumsy, especially for heavier EUCs with poorly designed handles (looking at you Begode RS). Therefore, at least for some EUC models, I have my doubts about them being a good option for scenarios where you'd have to walk them indoors. Maybe smaller models. This could easily be solved if there was some option to switch the EUC into trolley mode, where it assists in balancing, but heavily limits the motor - say to 10% power - so even an accidental freespin would be harmless and quiet.

With my v8f, which is on the smaller side, I've never had any problems or concerns losing control of the wheel like that. I do however keep in mind the risk that if I were to fall while riding, the wheel might act erratically and either damage itself or hurt people nearby. Also a mode where the motor speed is limited does actually sound really good. Or somehow a better sensor when the rider is no longer on it or has fallen would be amazing.

Yeah, being the center of attention can be a bit..challenging.. sometimes. Once, I was In a hurry for a group ride and picked up some pizza to eat on a bench and someone barged on me asking a dozen questions while I was frantically trying to get the food down. As for the "you have to carry it with you", I find it to be a feature and not a asshle since I probably live in the North American capitol of bike/pev thief (Montreal in Quebec). Small question : what is the mesh jacket you're sporting? I'm riding with tshirt and elbow pads since my big plastic armor is too much for casual riding and would like something more for the shoulder.

Plus, they often realize that with the range these things provide, PEVs aren't just expensive toys, but on many occasions they can replace a car.

IMO the biggest con is safety. If the EUC has a technical problem - you go face down, if you hit a bump - facedown, gust of wind - face down... You get my point? IMO EUCs are more dangerous than motorcycles. The reason not so many people have been killed is due to small percentage of euc users in the world. I don't know how many were manufactured, but I'd guess its in the millions world-wide. And the second reason - it takes a long time to learn to ride (not just stand on it, but sharp turn/brake, recover/save from a pothole you missed, go up a curb etc.).

The way I view the laws in Denmark (precise wording is that a PEV cannot be able to go above 20km/hr and be used on public road, some restrictions may apply), is they look at these vehicles as toys, rather than legitimate transportation methods. Now, I understand that it's quite difficult to enforce laws, on things that aren't easily able to be regulated, especially as EUCs are a very specilized skillset. However, I do believe that a compromise could be reached, where someone would perhaps require a license to drive a more conventional vehicle, such as a motorcycle, depending on the potential speed of said PEV. For example, I wouldn't expect a Dualtron Thunder II, or a Veteran Sherman Max to just be for anyone who had the money and good sense to get one, they would also have to prove that they were, at least tokenly, committed to some type of safety, for both others and themselves. Hence, the license for a more conventional vehicle. Or perhaps a course taught by people who live with these vehicles, to grant proof that the laws and rules of the road are understood. I also wouldn't expect laws about this to be made by people who think they once saw a picture of the vehicles in question, and believe that makes them knowledgeable enough on the subject to judge and arbitrate what's right and wrong about it. (It's kinda like someone who's never been out fishing, or on a boat, to be the highest authority on commercial fishing laws) I can dream...

My wish is that the laws in Europe was made so that it was fine if the EUC have the potential to go too fast as long as you stay within the limits as most can be set to a lower max speed with phone apps. Possibly a special license for EUC that have this potential and an age restriction. It's a problem that essentially only the really old models are legal as that rather limits the range and other comforts you can get.

I would add, limited weight load to the list. Heavier people are gonna have issues on EUC, and even average weight people are restricted to what you may want to carry with you in a backpack and backpacks are about your only option for any cargo (unless you're skilled enough to roll a suitcase behind you). Also, Location is a big factor. What kind of weather do you have? does it rain 150 days a year, do you have lots of high wind, how cold are your winters? Do you live in a hilly/mountainous area? Do you have sidewalks, bike trails, safe roads? Those are things that can affect your ability to enjoy a EUC.

Hmm don't know if I would include hills on this list.

I would instead choose a high-speed e-scooter, high-speed EUC is more dangerous. This is my experience. 80 to 90 km/h on EUC is too much for me. I would instead choose a 100 km/h e-scooter. EUC is more dangerous than an e-scooter because EUC doesn't have a handlebar, so you need more balance. However, e-scooters have a handlebar, so they feel safer. My max speed on EUC is 35 km/h. My max speed on the E-scooter is 75 km/h.

I love my EUC … It’s not the fastest, newest or best available but for my needs it is perfect. I bought a second hand 16X a year ago and have put 2000km on it in a year commuting to work. It means I can afford to run a nicer car for my wife and kids, instead of two shitty cars. It’s light, easy to put on the seat of the train and carry up stairs. I keep looking at getting a second one but seriously find the 16X hard to beat. It’s so trust worthy and has never missed a beat. I look forward to riding it all the time and love that it has lifterally saved me days of walking or the hassle of dragging a bike or scooter onto a train. Plus, it makes other people smile.

Thanks for another good video. A thing I personally think is a bit of a challenge, is riding in the city where you need to share the lane with cars and there is not much wriggle room, is that you cant comfortably carve and I feel more limited being able to stabilise my wheel if needed, since the cars are often going pretty close by. Also feel a EUC way more sensitive to strong wind or wind gust, makes it more difficult riding in open landscape, compared to something like an e-bike or even a scooter since it has a steer. That said I am riding a KS16X and weigh 61kg ,so might be a different story with a 18" or 20" wheel - unfortunately I dont have one 😛

What I like best about these is their portability. You can take these literally anywhere you want. If I had one of these, I'd put it in my car and take it riding wherever I want to. That's one advantage they have over my electric bike as my electric bike can't fit in my car, so I'm limited in where I can ride it. I also like the fact that some of these EUC models come with a saddle so you can sit on it and cruise down the road with it. That looks like a lot of fun to me.

"Can't balance", "afraid of learning" and "gear" are the poorest reasons ever. Everyone who can ride a bike can ride an EUC Afraid of learning, well it's basically "don't get it if you don't want to". All the gear is not for EUC specifically... it's for riding fast. If you ride 20 km\h, some wrist guards and a helmet (which you should be wearing on ANY rideable) will suffice. Maybe add other pieces while learning, but they're not needed when just commuting at bicycle speeds

Euc is much like riding a bike (motorcycle). I mean the same level of risk to fall down or collision with other transport o pedestrian. It requires constant attention when riding. On the other hand, it gives great feeling of flight together with positive emotions of doing some tricks& jumps. I've been riding my Euc for 4 years riding home-office and back.

IDK, I use to think gear is a big deal but now when I have my favorite gear I don't really feel it. In the hottest weather, I do kneepads + wristguards + helmet, also motorcycle jacket I have looks nice as a regular jacket so no extra time to put it on. A protective shirt I have can also be under a regular shirt so it's stealthy. It's not that different from regular clothing, also if you go into traffic, and you have to in most places... you just look stupid and poor there without gear, like kids that spend their last money on used motorcycles and think it's cool to ride without a helmet. I feel like wearing gear makes people expect that I can go fast but without, it makes everyone think I'm riding a toy.

I got a cheap model once about 700 bucks I think but it was an investment for me I figured it could take me anywhere and I wouldn't have to take the awful public transportation in jersey for it. It took me a few weeks to learn it but eventually I got it up and down the driveway of my apartment and eventually down the block once. So in all my confidence my sister wanted something from the store so I thought I could ride down to get it. I wiped out in the parking lot and the ECU skittered on the ground mind you it didn't crash into anything just skittered and not even that far. Didn't matter though when I got back home it was fucked. Constantly reading out low battery the battery gauge going everywhere and it no longer self balancing leaning back or forwards making it unusable. sending it back to the manufacture would cost me shipping plus 100/hr for maintenance and when I called up 3rd party repair in NY I had a talk with them about my situation and he tried to get me on the idea of buying an even expensive wheel just to get to work. He also told me the motherboards the part that was probably broken in mine can be pretty finicky in these boards and that he leaned one of his wheels against a bank window once and it broke. When I asked about fixing it or giving it to them for scrap he asked another guy and they basically told me it was garbage and that fixing it would basically be the same price as buying a new one. When I told him how that's alot for me he laughed and said he was looking at a 1,200 dollar wheel with 1,500 dollars worth of mods on it and that this was basically nothing. That was when I was completely discouraged with EUCs and bought a cheap 300 dollar scooter that's taken 2 good hits and has kept going for a good couple of months only damage being water damage from a big storm recently, but it's still kicking.

Around where i live, in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, one of the problems with bicycling is the lack of safe bicycling lanes, mainly due to traffic not noticing bicycles, and the seasonality of sidewalk use due to a lack of sidewalk sweeping in winter. Thus for me only a low cost bicycle would be wanted - and only as a summer sidewalk toy for some fun, maybe some local excercise. (i actually have a solid tire Strida folding bicycle, for weird reasons - it also has a rider learning curve) In Detroit proper, however, an EUC would actually be a useful machine, since the traffic is used to pedestrian and bicycle traffic sidewalks are kept more clear of snow during winter and the need to bring the EUC inside (instead of locking it outside) mean the small cheaper slower ones that would be good amongst people on sidewalks are actually better.

In AZ at 115 degrees for instance I worry the heat is too much for the battery, the boards, and the motor. I dont charge my sherman past 78% under those conditions not run lower than 50% just for battery sake. I also find those I can go into a store and buy some things it is awkward to shop and push along the EUC. I feel this way about accidents it feels more likely but at most speeds it seems like I am safer not going over a handlebar right into my chin. I have had 5mph crashes on electric onyx bike, ann electric scooter and a 5mph, 10mph, and a 25mph crash on an euc and i’d take that fast crash on the euc over the scooter or bike just because of the way i hit. An oddity on the euc is the effect of stance footing etc on ride and control and confidence there is a lot more effort sometimes and when you hop on it could be a great ride or just a little bit off. i’m insecure about the reliability of an euc wondering when I will have a cut out. I’ve three times already had the wheel shut off just when wheeling it around a store so that’s not confidence inspiring.

Safety gear is a deal breaker for me. It is too cumbersome for everyday's commutes. Luckily you don't need it at ~30 kph with reliable EUC. I got my V8F this winter and learned on icy pavements. I can tell that you can just off the wheel at 25kph and run away even in slippery conditions. Though, I haven't tried this at the max speed of V8F (35kph). In general, if you want to use EUC for commuting without safety gear, anything faster than V8F (or V10F for heavy riders) is overkill. So EUCs are not that expensive. We need more safe, light commuting wheels.

@@honestlee9921 It is my opinion that this decision depends on your skill level. If you can safely bail by jumping off, are always aware of sudden dangers - the gear a lot of the times is not necessary. High traffic is a different matter as a lot of people are dumb with respect to other traffic members, so if you commute in busy streets then gear will be necessary. I ride V12 since spring this year with a full motorcycle helmet and without, depending on conditions. No issue after a couple drinks as well but then the speed must be low of course and helmet mandatory.

Yes, you can just abandon ship and run if you hit a bump or get the wobbles, but trust me, there is no mercy when you have a cut out. Your brain has to bypass the stumble reflex so that you can accelerate without automatically stepping off the wheel. If the wheel stops, the very first thing you are aware of is your head hitting the ground. It's the creepiest thing. The solution there is to be aware of the wheel's limitations and set the alarms accordingly. I was riding up a hill with low battery on a cold day. Wham! Serous school fees. Took weeks to recover.

I'd rather they treat it as a motorcycle ( put a licence plate on it, leave bike paths/sidewalks and stick to roads only) than stay in this semi-legal limbo.

Just yesterday people were posting gruesome pics of the bruises all over their legs from riding EUCs and talking about what pads to get to protect shins and thighs. Experienced riders were replying "you have to ride through the pain, eventually you won't feel it anymore". That's definitely a good reason for some people to avoid getting an EUC.

I broke my radius at the elbow riding my first wheel, mten4. I got really good at it and confident. Once I had some people around me I felt comfortable enough to open it up more than ever before to kind of find it's limit point so I know where not to push it in a sense!? Boom cutout faceplant at 25ish mph. Bounced, rolled, slammed and broke my radius 😔

The only 2 of those reasons that I've personally found to be an occasional issue is getting geared up (and I never ride without it) and the unwanted attention. Neither of those reasons will stop me from riding. It's way too much fun and the EUC, even a heavy one, is way easier to handle than a giant, dorky scooter. Even a lot of eBikes are too big and heavy for my taste.

This is a reason that turns me off from learning an EUC. I've noticed that many of you EUCers are sort of PEV snobs thinking that an EUC is the only really cool style of electric mobility. The fact that you call the power scooter 'dorky' tells me this.

@@chrisb.1214 Well, as someone who only had a little donky looking EUC, and has ridden onewheel, scooter's and lots of E-Bikes, I can tell you that nothing comes close the the experience of riding an EUC. Besides the experience it self, E-Bikes and big scooters are just so much more hassle to transport anywhere, go on vaccination with by train or to just park then outside in a big city. A 3000€ E-Bike will get stolen instantly in Berlin, where as an EUC you can just take it with you. Also off-road capabilities are way better on a good euch like S20. Still, when you're between E-Bike and scooter, go for E-Bike. More carrying capacity and more comfortable in my opinion

@@chrisb.1214 I have owned a Dualtron and rode it for several years. It was huge and clumsy compared to an EUC. I don't like big devices that are inconvenient to store or park upon arrival at a destination. My opinion is based on experience, not snobbery. Before you form an opinion about the EUC and those who ride them, I suggest you try one.

Hit-and-miss Chinese quality on product that solely depends on solid, Western quality standards to work safely and not kill or seriously injure its user. This alone ended my EUC relationship despite how much i loved riding them. It's like dating a crazy girlfriend.

Women, only 2, cost me a LOT more, and harmed the rest of my life FAR more severely than the couple joint reconstructions, breaks, and surgeries that addiction to aerial skiing and overtraining in another profession. Be even MORE careful of females who pretend to be enamoured of you for a while, than doing ANY other activity. You CANNOT find adequate protective gear for women, and no known armor works as crossover pro.

@@briseboy putting EUC's aside, hope you will find courage to see your part in all this that you mentioned about 'all females being dangerous'. We, men don't work like that. We take responsibility for our own actions, accept the blame and try to improve. Sure there are a lot of crazy out there. And if you attract only that type, you need to look deeper inside yourself. And rule nr1 - don't put your dick into crazy.

i can see your final point of carrying shopping spree stuff and EUC not matching, but with bicicles or other similar sized transport options you could in theory have some attach and detach devices to help you carry extra load without problems like affecting your balance or getting your hand busy when they shouldn't. In theory if you are just moving yourself (person) from point A to B, EUC feels like the 1° choice, for efficiency and mobility. But for everything else, i feel having the option for Carry extra load with you, or even 1 extra person (friend / partner / etc) it's a deal breaker for me, since i would love to go long range to buy stuff and come back with it on my personal transport and even being able to carry 1 more person with me if possible

I can see humanoid robots being trained to ride EUCs in that these robots currently cannot walk all that fast and a EUC might be a good way to enhance its mobility. For example a Tesla Optimus has the same software as a Tesla car and thus has "self driving" ability. This then might enable an Optimus to do last mile deliveries and such. Also, (sooner or later) the UAC might be used by militaries and maybe with EUCs in that would make a lot of sense combing the two. As such it might be interesting to see how well a EUC can handle really rough terrain, and not just dirt trails but fields, hills, grasses, and such.

Looks fantastic on those nearly clear bike paths, but also a serious risk to other users. If they got really popular, it would need it's own structure, which is a general problem with EV everything. They created bike paths so that people could avoid the risk of high speed collisions with powered vehicles, now they are everywhere, and of every kind.
