Can a Tech Ride? Andrew FIRST EUC Ride

[@sidderke]

That’s so impressive for a first ride. Congratulations, Andrew!

[@lililililililili8667]

It seems speed and commitment is the best teacher

[@KevinRedmondWA]

Love how the inmotion v5/8/10 is almost everyone’s beginner wheel. For me, it was the v10 and it brings back great memories. I still remember those days when going 15 mph feel so fast. Ride a Sherman max now.

[@ashegam]

wow very impressive, as a new rider waiting for my first EUC, I'd be delighted if I can remotely have the same progress as Andrew after my first session. Well done mate!

[@Why-I-Oughta]

He stated that he's ridden an EUC before in the this video.

[@lukem768]

Well done Andrew, really impressive for a first ride out! 👍

[@christianstevens9804]

Very well done! One thing I found helped me when I was very new to EUC was to “quiet my hands”. If I put them down t my sides after take off I was much more in control.

[@updlate4756]

First time riders, it's completely normal for your hips to gyrate up and down as your body freaks out for the first 30+ minutes or so. This will continuously knock you off balance. When you're learning, you really want to straighten your body out as soon as you get on the pedals. To Mount: - Put dominant leg on pedal w/ knee bent so that the calf is vertical in the center of the wheel. Side of leg should be firmly against the wheel's side so it feels locked to your leg. Slight tilt of the wheel to the inside. Other foot to the side of the EUC and slightly back. Back tilted slightly forward in preparation for push off. - Look forward, not down, and keep looking forward the entire time. - Push off like a skateboard, and as you put your second foot on the pedal (avoid stomping) the wheel will straighten up. As you're lifting your second foot, you should already be straightening up your dominant leg to stand up straight. That'll help to lift your second foot up. - As your second foot gets on the pedal you should already be pushing your hips forward, tightening your butt, and leaning forward onto your toes where your heels are at the spot where they're just about to lift off the pedals. That'll both stabilize you against hip gyrations and accelerate you to get the gyroscopic stability. You should quickly feel solid stability. It's normal for this process to be exhausting and nerve wracking until you get used to it. Your feet likely will get tired/cramped when starting out.

Thank you father

[@brushlessmotoring]

Very well done Andrew! Took me weeks to learn, but once you have it really down (which took me about a year), like Ian says, you don't even think about it anymore, it's just such a natural extension of balancing. I think EUCs are amazing - the simplicity of them makes them very reliable, no gears, no drivetrain, no belts or chains, a single insanely powerful brushless motor, a gyro, a modest sized battery - and you can wheel it around a shop, like rideable luggage! Learnt on a V8F, upgraded to V12 (HS), thinking about a Sherman S, but ... I don't really need it - V12 is great, although it did need some boards swapped, so, it's great now, but was a hassle for the first year. Welcome to EUCs Andrew!

[@ftsforever]

that was legit super impressive for a first ride, took me hours throughout different days to get the hang of it and the confidence that andrew got on first day, well done chap

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers!

[@arthurrobey7177]

Best beginner rider I have seen yet.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Pretty good hey!

[@MrRoyian]

Great first ride Andrew! 👏

[@georgH]

It took me around 6 hours in two days to actually be able to do that!! It also was on a V10F, which I'm still using.

[@Laenthal]

My total mileage is only 100 miles or so, but seeing a new guy having his very first few meters makes me smile like a proud dad. And i was nowhere near his immediate success btw.

[@nyconeroll]

Excellent teacher and student. Even took him off-road after a few minutes of learning. Lol

[@soonny002]

I wish I can ride like that on my first attempt. I can't even hold it between my legs when stationary! lol.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

You will get it! Keep on keeping on!

[@optimusprime6453]

He is doing it ! Good ride 👏👏👏

[@Rxnnay]

I just got mines a few days ago and I’m still struggling😅 fantastic job Andrew!!!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Bang on! Thats what I told a friend, learn to ride in the rough paths 1st an you will be a better rider. Cheers

[@larryc1616]

Very cool gives us all newbies hope! How long has Andrew been practicing indoors before his first attempt outdoors?

[@haroldsmith45302]

Very interesting video. Good work, Andrew! Too cold right now to ride where I live but I hope to acquire an EUC in a few months. Am wondering whether I should learn to ride on flat grass or smooth asphalt.

[@markyoung1622]

keep it upon...nicely done. stick with it

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks Mark!

[@mattiashager782]

Great learning curve ❤

[@kmg501]

Having the complication of a backpack for a new rider is probably not a good thing, lol.

[@TobyFan321]

Incredible progress in just 2 minutes

[@EUCLimburg]

Going offroad is the best learning scool, top!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

You got that right!

[@fodrocksuk.forestofdeanroc5686]

Wow, seriously impressive Andrew

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks!

[@Beemysingingmonsters]

Very good video!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thank you very much!

[@RetiredInMotion]

Well done!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks!

[@BIGboiFASTboi]

Wow, Andrew is putting us all to shame, on is first day! Fantastic!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Agree, was a brilliant effort.

[@patrickm2144]

took me about a month to do all he did in a few hours ! but then, i was alone, no advice, nothing, took me 4 months to do 600 miles, since then, 2 years and 6 months later, i've done 23000 miles

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Wow, thats some milage!

[@Slackdragon]

He must've been exhausted being that clinched.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Relaxed later on as he started to get used to it.

[@kmg501]

First time riding can be very stressful!

[@euc-chasingpavements7332]

Ah, I always enjoy Ian trying to kill a new member of staff🤣😜😁

[@Beemysingingmonsters]

Well done Andrew

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks!

[@mikeintampa250]

Hi Ian, would you have fired Andrew if the scaffolding all tumbled down that he was holding on to in the very beginning?

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Hard one, the video content would have been epic 😂

[@mikeintampa250]

@@Speedyfeetuk Lol

[@Why-I-Oughta]

He plainly stated that he's ridden an Mten3, so this _isn't_ his first EUC ride. 🤥🙄

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Q. Where did he ride the mten3? A. Inside It was plainly stated, both that he ‘rode’ an mten3 inside and that this was his first ride outside.

[@Why-I-Oughta]

@@Speedyfeetuk Your title distinctly said 'first EUC ride'. That implys the person has _never ridden an EUC._ He literally specified the specific model of EUC he has ridden. Also, he could've used the Mten3 for weeks or more inside. Furthermore, 'inside' can mean a lot of things, including a massive warehouse. Lastly, your title doesn't mention riding location. Your title is misleading. 👖🔥

[@Speedyfeetuk]

@@Why-I-Oughta YAWN..... cheer up, gear up and have a laugh.

[@UrbanWolf52]

Hard to believe thats his first euc ever..he can already make turns at will..unless he had some monocycle skills

[@Speedyfeetuk]

No previous experience.

[@bernardobuffa2391]

first time? really? he's a natural!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

It would appear so! Handled the off-road really well.

[@ek-nz]

Ka pai Andrew!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Booom!

[@Simonisms]

Great riding Andrew🦿🦿 Going off road on your first day is quite an achievement
