AMSTERDAM - Electric Unicycle Skate Park Session EUC

[@Dropp383]

I like the silky worm title. I also ordered bigger peddles for my v5f. EUC’n for 2 months. I can still use the same peddles for future v8 or v10.

[@NonStopNeal]

Haha that silky worm needs it's own tutorial I think haha. Yeah bigger peddles on the v5f will be amazing. I'm certainly thinking about it for the v8. Cheers mate.

[@brn41306]

I just got my first wheel yesterday. Ordered the Kingsong 18L because the XL was out of stock. Just got back from a ride and I’m already hooked. Not a lot of quality videos out there so keep these coming!

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi BTimes, Mate congratulations on the 18L haha i had a blast riding that incredible wheel. The XL just seems to have more range and bit more speed so 18L will keep you entertained for ages im sure. Thanks for tuning in mate. Ill keep the videos coming. See you in Hamburg.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That's heresy, calling the Nikola a KingSong wheel ;-) Here's a memory tip for you - all KingSong wheels have boring names like 14a/b/d/d, 16a/b/c/s, 18s/l, etc. Gotway gives names to all of their wheels; Mten3, MCM, ACM, MSuper, Monster, Tesla, etc.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Mate, yeah i had a total brain fart at the end there haha. Gotway Nikola of course. Thanks for the name tip will help heaps. Cheers Neal.

[@ignioushorizon8128]

I'm a V8 owner myself, they're the best! What a dream to ride. Learning backwards riding will commence this summer.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Ignious, YES a V8 rider. Mate i love this wheel. I think it just ticks so many boxes. Going for a bigger 18 inch wheel i dont think i would be able to be as nimble. The 18 inch wheels are epic cruising longer distance wheels for sure. V8 is a solid allrounder. Looks like the votes are in and a riding backwards tutorial is on its way. Cheers mate.

[@derekstalker1567]

Hi Neal I have a Kingsong 18 A and I live in Scotland and the first video I saw of yours was the one where you went to Loch LOMOND

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Derek, thats amazing. I loved that Loch Lomond ride. Thats when i new i had come across something incredible. Hows the 18A going for you?

[@ninja636king]

You really have control of your wheel. I also love going to skateparks. But please give me a pointer on the tight circles you do.

[@NonStopNeal]

Thanks Michael. What type of turn are you referring to? Like a full turn on the spot so you spin or a tight corner style turn. Spinning in a circle is that what you mean. Thanks mate.

[@ninja636king]

@@NonStopNeal very tight spins. Like on a dime.

[@NonStopNeal]

@@ninja636king Okay copy that! I have a few diffrent types so I'll make a full video on that. Good call.

[@kschippers801]

Makes me so homesick for Amsterdam. I lived in the Netherlands for 2 years and Amsterdam for 6 months. I would have loved to have had an EU while I was there but this was 12-14 years ago. Thanks for the video! Fun to see places I walked around so long ago.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Kevin, ahhh it would be an incredible city to live in. Especially to have a EUC. The amount of cycle paths are crazy. You could wheel everywhere.

[@frostvisto9610]

Lovely video. Gotta love the wheels

[@freedomcaller]

Been here since the cyr wheel days, funny seeing us do consecutive hobbies together, I got 4 cyrwheels, and 4 electric rollng things.

[@NonStopNeal]

Yes ! Cyr wheel is still going on in the background. What 4 electric rolling things you got mate?

[@freedomcaller]

@@NonStopNeal 9bot one e+, onewheel v1, a diy e-skateboard, and a diy onewheel. Gonna get a new euc soon, probably the z10 maybe the msuperx

[@NonStopNeal]

@@freedomcaller Ahhh awesome, im looking at a second hand Ninebot E+ how do you find it. Looks perfect for tricks even on skate parks etc. My V5 is a little weak in the battery power and the battery placement makes the wheel a little unbalanced. Z10 looks the part. AMazing mate !

[@freedomcaller]

@@NonStopNeal I got a refurb e+ on ebay 2 weeks ago for 300$ (after tax and shipping) looked brand new and the odometer said 2.5 miles sellers name is gsglobal, looks like he has a bunch more for sale. You gotta bid tho, not buy it now.

[@freedomcaller]

@@NonStopNeal my e+ I bought new on ebay over a year ago 550$, tho it came looking exactly like the refurb one with 1 mile on the odometer. The one I just bought was for a friend and I don't have it anymore, tho I am tempted to get a 2nd one for myself, they ride great. Just beware the rims can get bent if you take it off large drops 1ft+ tho maybe that happens to any euc.

[@markhmorrison]

Great video Neal! There a skate park near me I'll have to check out now. Some tutorials on reverse riding wold be great.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Mark, Yeah get over to the park. Im finding it to be heaps of fun. Backwards seems to be the most requested so i think that will be coming soon.

[@mikekwarner]

A little overview of my EUC usage: I bought my first EUC (also a V8) July last year and have done around 1600 miles on it, mostly commuting to and from work. One thing I haven't concentrated on is any tricks - I really should take the time to learn to go backwards, but I just haven't put in any time to learn! I was originally considering a cheaper wheel, but looking back that would have been a very bad move - I think you would grow out of anything less than a V8 very quickly. I currently have an MSuper X 100v inbound, although I am not sure it is the ideal wheel for me. I may sell it on quickly and get a KingSong 18XL - the extended range of the KingSong, better ergonomics along with the better trolley handle and auto wheel turn off on lift will likely outweigh the higher performance of the Gotway ... but I guess i'll see! I like the format of your videos very much - keep it up!

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Michael, I agree the V8 or a Kingsong 16s maybe is the perfect starter wheel. Msuper X gets a lot of positive hype and seems like a more aggressive style of wheel. The 18L or XL are both amazing. Proper cruisers for sure. I think that will be my next wheel. Thanks for sharing man.

[@333ingee]

Hi Neal, another GREAT video, shame it was only 36 mins I need an hour of NonStopNeal evey week, I accidentally bent my trolley handle so now a bit fiddly to get back in , so yes would be nice to see how you change it and the tyre hope you do show us that, I don't know if you remember I told you I was going to buy my first GoPro the hero 5 got it from Amazon , hated it , 3 reasons I sent it back,1, the image quality was no better than my £30 Eken H9 great camera, 2, i watched your night time video Newcastle i Think with the GPS overlay which looked very cool , but my one kept losing the gps signal so couldn't use that feature, but the deal breaker for me was there is no setting on Gopro for time stamp, I like to look back at my videos and like to know what day and TIME I was out on my V8, so no more GoPro's for me . but 2 days ago got the Garmin virb ultra 30 £300 again from Amazon expensive but I love all the different GPS data overlays there are so many to choose from and all kinds of data a lot of fun and it has not lost the GPS signal and the image quality is better than the hero 5, stabilisation is good , obviously not as good as the GoPro 7 . So now I can have the Garmin on a chest strap and the Eken on a selfie stick like your setup, I just need to get a mic to use with my phone and see if I can get it to sync up with your tip on clicking your finger hope that works, last night was going to buy another wheel on ebay it was the kingsong 14s used but went for a crazy £545 used, that's more than I paid New for my V8. anyway if you can do those trolley and tyre videos would be great, cheers Ing-ee, your the legend Neal

[@NonStopNeal]

Ingee ! Mate i made this weeks video i shot yesterday a little longer haha. Think we got a 45 min one coming haha. Trolly handle video is up which im sure you have seen by now. I have my new tire ready and im gonna wait for my next hotel in Berlin to see if it has better lighting. Such a shame about your experience with the Gopro 5. The time stamp should be on each file cause i use that to help organise all my footage. Ahh anyways sounds like the Garmin is doing a great job. Its a solid camera and ive considered it a few times. Yeah some wheels on ebay can go for heaps. The V8 is a great all rounder. I feel that the next would be a 18inch for more cruising long distance style rides. We will see. Thanks again mate. Legend.

[@gazbon5464]

Many people awaiting the arrival and reviews of the GW Nicola I'm one ,would like to see vid on balance and body placment for one foot riding and techniques to better improve balance.I rely hevily on pedal grip tape

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Gaz, yeah i just seen a ride video of the Nikola. Looks like a stylish wheel. Good recommendation for wheel skills and tips. One foot is a good one.

[@jasoncook6700]

I dont like having to use an app on a phone for my EUC. Phones are expensive and I could easily drop it. I think the wheels should come with a small plastic device that you hold in your hand. Maybe like some kind of wireless game controller. You can turn on and off the lights, sound the horn, etc.

[@mikekwarner]

Loving that Silky Worm!

[@NonStopNeal]

Ahhh the Silky Worm hahaha. Its a thing. Maybe this has to have its own tutorial haha. Cheers Michael.

[@TheOriginalAndysGarage]

Yay I'm the first one here again, LOL I just cannot get over the amount of bricks in them roads, who the hell laid all them? And then another funny thing is when you say cycle paths it sounds like Psychopaths, LOL

[@NonStopNeal]

Nice one Andy. Good to see you tuning in. Europeans love a cobble road. You seen Prague, the whole place was covered haha. Cycle Paths !!! haha

[@jackvolta3489]

Psychopaths...lol I thought the same thing! Psychopaths on cycle paths...lol 😎👍

[@jackvolta3489]

@@NonStopNeal hey Neal did you find the nut house yet...lol

[@ronnedal]

I'm pretty sure your Kingsong 18L review would have a lot more views if it was named XL, like you said. I'm very pleased with mine. Coming up on 300km even though it's a bit too much snow on a lot of streets in Gothenburg. But the bike lanes are kept clear from snow and ice. So my every day commute isn't a problem. But I don't think you'll be doing much tricks on an XL. It's more of a cruiser than agile. Longing for summer more than ever, it's gonna be and epic summer on wheel. =)

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Jens, fun idea to change the name haha. Wow i would LOVE a 18XL but like you said its a cruiser for sure and spring coming up your going to have a blast. Gothenburg was fun for the wheel. I think if i got to asia i will get a bigger wheel and keep the V8 for skateparks and quick city rides. Who know what might be out in a few months haha.

[@NB-fc4rl]

An idea ... you said you did Parkour ... Can you give some tips on how to fall safely from a EUC? At some point we will all take a tumble riding these things. Different techniques for different speeds maybe? I can start getting mentally prepared and know what to do. Please note that I am not suggesting that you deliberately try falling from your EUC at speed to demonstrate how to fall ... just show us the technique, on a mat or on grass.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi N B, thats actually a really great idea. Just need to find a good place to demonstrate it hmmmm. Maybe in the areans. Run through some fall scenarios. Nice one mate thats such a solid idea.

[@j0nhwang]

Love your videos. I think I've watched almost every EUC video you've posted. I also have a V8 and wanted to let you know that you can swap them out for the V10 pedals (an aftermarket spacer is required to tighten the pedals). I bought my V10 pedals from Ewheels.com and they come with spacers you need.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi j0nh, wow mate thats amazing youve been watching all the videos, Thank you. I was looking at the peddles on the ewheels site. How are you finding the new V10 peddles ? Im very tempted !

[@j0nhwang]

@@NonStopNeal It's such an awesome upgrade. The turning radius is not noticeably affected and the installation is fairly easy. They are available here. www.ewheels.com/product/new-inmotion-xl-pedals-for-v10-f-v8-glide-3-v5f-glide-2/

[@RockyTop_BC]

Another Awesome video! You have a great mix of riding adventure, enthusiasm and conversation. What do I have? Disclaimer: I am rough on wheels. I am 220 pounds and a very aggressive rider. I have the KingSong 16s, MSuper V3s+, MSuper X and KingSong 18XL. I can't ride the InMotion V10. It overheats too quick. To be fair, the KS16s and KS18XL complain too much about over acceleration and braking when I am riding them. MSuper X - My favorite off road wheel. Also good for that extra top end speed MSuper V3s+ My favorite aggressive city wheel. ( lower and less bounce than the MSX) KS18XL My favorite luxury cruiser. easy casual Sunday explorer. (almost self driving) KS16s My favorite trick wheel. I also lend it out to beginners. (addiction starter) Note:My MSuper V3s+ has the 2000w motor and over sized mosfets. Because of the constant rain in the area, I much prefer grip tape over rubber surfaces. The rubber gets slippery when wet. I got a roll of grip tape, traced out and cut 10 pair of replacement surfaces. I just peel off and replace the grip tape every 500 miles.

[@NonStopNeal]

Hello Rocky, lovely feed back and happy your enjoying the content. Thats amazing you have 5 different wheel. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Sure other will get some good use from it. The 18XL really is a Luxury cruiser haha. My V8 with its 16inch wheel is perfect for the tricks and skateparks stuff. Nice one mate.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I could be wrong, but NYC put a ban on fully electric bikes (as opposed to peddle assisted ones) because of the potential speed, not so much the breaking, so maybe it's the same for Germany in regards to EUCs? With some of these hitting upwards of 30 MPH they might've just said "let's just blanket ban them to make life easier," which sucks. As for the current slate of videos, I think any tutorials or how to videos would be of help to people, especially since Inmotion doesn't have as much representation (possibly why the V10 video got so many views.)

[@NonStopNeal]

Yes Alpha ! Yeah thats seems to be the case in Germany. Just ban them for now until we figure out how to legalise them. There is a group in Berlin ive contacted for net week who seem to be doing a lot of work to try and get some rules set so people can ride the ewheels. Awesome to read and would be amazing to sit down with them and possibly do a mini Q and A. Yeah Inmotion really doesnt seem to get anywhere near as much hype as the Gotway and Kingsong . I might try contacting them again.

[@normancanham5867]

Thanks for your videos, they are excellent - in a class of their own. I can't comprehend banning EUC's when electric scooters etc. are allowed. Just limit EUC's to

[@NonStopNeal]

Hi Norman, cheers mate. Happy your getting something from the videos. Yeah its a little crazy to ban them but i guess in some places its just easier to ban then until they understand them. Ive been reading about people in Berlin working towards legalising the EUC so thats good to know. Good to know mate. I think its looking like a backwards riding video is on the cards. I will get onto it next week. Thanks again mate.

that a V8 or V10?
