Veteran Sherman Setup Guide

I show how to setup and configure a new Sherman. CORRECTION: I forgot to mention that pressing and holding the upper left LCD button will reset the trip odometer. Pressing the button will cycle through the different values. Also, if you want to put the Sherman back into transportation mode, go to the Sleep display (see 05:33) and press the OK button 9-times and you'll see it switch to Sleep9. Turn off the wheel and you won't be able to turn it on until you plug the charger in.

Thanks, Marty. This is the 2nd time one of your 'how to's' helped me to correct an issue. The other one was the dreaded V11 tire change.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Very welcome. Thanks.

[@tonylee7716]

A simple design adjustment can address the light angle issue when doing uphill or downhill. They can make the light tilt higher when it's torquing, and lower when negative torquing. By the principal of equivalency, the wheel doesn't know whether it's going uphill or accelerating.

Very useful information as usual! Thanks Marty, appreciated!

[@Born2Ride108]

Awesome video. Thanks Marty very helpful. One thing I did which you didnt is a free wheel spin to check how true the tire was seated. Then I deflated it to manipulate the tire rim line so that it was as uniform around the rim as possible. That definitely helps to make the tire spin better... Cant wait to take it out and start putting the miles on. See you soon!!

Thanks Ron. Good suggestion. I did test my tire and it looked great. Guess I assumed everyone's tire would also be good.

Great video Marty, the pads that come with the Sherman are nice, I think it would have been a good idea to punch 2 holes at the top of the pad where the side panel screws are so you don't need to lift the edge of the pad off the panel to access the screws, I have the larger pads you helped design on my Sherman and they fit well below these 2 top panel screws so I don't need to disturb the adhesive tape. I didn't know about the advanced mode settings so thank you for the insight mate.

[@Andre-Mostert]

Great video and much better than a manual that also sometime does not make sense. This will get allot of guys going with an overview of the control panel. It looks like the LCD panel is nicely stuck down and should not have problems with water. Only asking as here in the UK we need a bit more rain protection and better light if you want to ride deep into winter.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

My LCD panel is good, but I have heard that others are still peeling up around the edges. So I suspect it'll be hit-and-miss with each individual wheel. If I had to ride in rain I would probably waterproof the seam.

[@Andre-Mostert]

@@ElectricUnicycles Great, a little silicone around the edge should help that out. Thank you for the feedback.

One last question. Just finished training with my Sherman on a soccer field at from 11pm till now. Started out holding the fence to maintain balance. Took 2 hours to finally ride without the aid of a fence. How long did it take before you acquired the courage to ride on the street?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@FoxHound78 On a street with traffic? Many more hours. Basically, if you have to "think" at all while riding around people or cars, you shouldn't be riding around people or cars. You just have to put in the time until it's second nature.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Thanks a lot for making the setup guide. I can't wait for my Sherman to come next week. I do like the air compressor for the tires, It's probably really fast, but can I recommend another option? It's a little pocket size digital pump. It will read your PSI down to the 10th place and you can set it digitally and push a button and walk away while it inflates your tires. I think ewheels actually has one by xiaomi. Great to bring along on your rides in case of slowleak or terrain /rider changes. the best part though is that you don't have to go back and forth between pumping and checking PSI as it will read out on the LCD as it inflates.

[@user-bl5ri4xl9l]

I bought sherman today. Due to your video was able to understand how setting sherman works in 10 minutes. YOu didn't mention only one thing - how to set current trip milage to zero, or maybe it's because I didn't watch the whole video.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You are correct. I did forget about that one item - hold the upper left ">" button to reset the trip mileage or press to cycle through the different values.

[@ivanmorales3265]

Someone might have said it already, but the little round cylinder shaped protrusion on the top side of the pressure gauge when checking pressure, is designed to push the Schrader valve, in order to relieve pressure. It will also help prolong the life of your gauge by not engaging the seal/rubber side

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks. Yes, I know about that. Believe it not, with the bent valve so close to the rim there isn't space to use that feature.

[@Duf]

Looks so clean I didn't recognize it.

[@minah4325]

Hello~ Thank you for the detailed explanation^^ I have a question, but I'm not sure what kind of calibration the level-calibration means.. Can you tell me in detail? And when charging, the temperature goes up, so please let me know how high it blocks the charge.

[@theeucguy]

If i remember right the min - max tire pressure should be written on the tire outside. Maybe in BAR if not PSI. So find your preference pressure in between this values.

[@hanswangnstvold435]

you can go a bit above that value :)

[@idowukuti5884]

Hi Marty, I love you review of the Veteran Sherman, and the setup video. What you didn't talk about is the Riding mode and the Calibration that much. As a beginner, I will like to know what mode to set up my Sherman to? I am one of those take it easy rider who like to use the Sherman for a commuting less than 15 to 30 miles a day to work. I also like to ride at 15 to 20 miles an hour. I hope you can tell that, I'm not one for the riding at high speed type of guy. So let me know what riding mode to set up the Sherman, and also tilting forward and backward (from 1 to 5) and (from -1 to -5). Again, thank you for your setup video. You are right on the money n and I can wait to start riding the wheel.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Riding mode is very personal. I find that most people (including myself) enjoy hard mode the most. But I know people who prefer the softer modes. There is no best answer. It's so simple to change, why not experiment yourself. I only add a backward tilt if I will be going down a very steep hill for and extended period. +2-degrees.

[@ed_boogie]

Thank you. I wanted to know how to tilt the pedals.

[@esteem2]

I know many riders who really go hard on their veteran Sherman's that prefer a psi of 20-25 for minimizing wobbling and irregular road pavement. Thoughts? It makes sense now on why I see these guy run through roads with cracks and small potholes with ease

Unfortunately, no :-) This will motivate you to learn quicker ;-) Good luck with your new adventure - everyone gets it, so just have patience.

[@TylerHarney]

@@ElectricUnicycles Nvm to my surprise I got this riding thing down way faster than I had thought. It just clicked! Needed about 100 ft and once you get up to about 10-14 mph I was able to relax. It was the short runs between the garage doors that was the problem! The way it dips into the turns is the next quest to conquer. 8 miles in and I'm fired up!

[@js1115]

Hi, Marty. Hope this message finds you well. I'm hoping you can recommend peak A delivery alarm settings for the sherman.. I ride aggressive and with my weight and tilt back off I'd like to have a current delivery alarm to my Bluetooth. Do you agree with that approach to avoid cut out speeds? Thanks!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

IMO, monitoring amperes will do nothing towards avoiding a cutout. Using a current alarm is useful for preventing motor/wire burnouts due to excessive power draw over time, such as what can occur while climbing hills over an extended time period. For those purposes, probably ~120-amps is a useful value. If current could be useful in preventing cutouts, I would have zero insight into what values would represent a problem.

[@MrNopehaha]

Marty, is there a way to balance the tire, once you've changed the tire or tube? I saw Koji rolls change his sherman tire to a smooth road tire and it now has a wop due to being unbalanced.

Hi Marty; I loved your Veteran Sherman Setup Guide. But as a first time EUC rider who love the Sherman and I'm trying to learn how to ride the EUC with it, I would love to ask few more questions on the setup. Can you tell me how to reach you to ask more questions.? The first question is the Tilting. When you setup the Tilting back and forward , you setup 5 degree back and 5 degree forward and comes back to 0. Is that they way I should set up the tilting?

Hey Marty use the back of the tire gauge to release air , just if you didn’t know, great video. What’s your favorite wheel so far?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, I know about the dual use of the tire gauge. Thanks :-) In this case the geometry of the valve stem and how it lays against the motor makes it a bit less convenient to get the little protrusion into the valve. I still love my Nikola for general purpose riding, the MSP for trails, and the Veteran for cruising.

[@Kamikazekman]

Ah... nice to revisit this great vid now that I received my very own spankin’ new Sherman! Thanks Marty. Also, did you end up putting tyre sealant in your tyres? The thought of changing tyres gives me hives but I may have been a little too enthusiastic with the amount I squeezed in... I figured there’s no harm in having a bit more in the tyre than not enough. What do you reckon? Thoughts? :)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Why did you put the side pads so "high-up?" Or is that the normal level its suppose to be? Some videos show side pad being put above the pedals.? Sorry I'm new to this. And thanks for the videos!!!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The stock pads, as I show in detail in the video, are designed to precisely sit in upper region of the shell. For these pads that is a good placement since they are only used for acceleration and braking. Many other aftermarket pads are placed lower to provide leverage for your feet so you can jump the wheel. If you see some of my other Sherman videos you will see different pads on my Sherman and how they are placed. I was only demonstrating the placement of the stock pads in this video. I don't use the stock pads on my Sherman's and many other people don't either.

[@philfastmike3496]

Sorry Marty, just a quick one. It seems I saw 36 miles an hour as the max for the alarm before deactivation at 173... is there a way to adjust an alarm closer to the max speed of the Sherman?

The tiltback and alarm settings seem to skip the speeds most riders would actually want. It jumps from 36.1mph to OFF (173.9mph). On a "50mph" wheel, I'd want to set tiltback to be something in like 45mph and an alarm in the around 40mph. Am I missing something?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You are correct. It would be nice to have more speeds, but maybe tilt-back that kicks in at higher speeds is more dangerous?

[@JonS]

ElectricUnicycles I would say a setting that is too low, so that people turn alarms and tilt back off completely, is more dangerous.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@JonS It is what it is. Same limits apply to Gotway wheels. Most people I know turn off the tilt-back and alarms anyway. Newbies that enable these speeds will not be traveling that fast.

[@caryEUCNutbar]

With the speed alarm turned off (173.9 mph), the Sherman will now beep at 80% of motor output. So if on a full charge, that will be about 43-45 mph. As your battery gets lower, the beeps will self adjust to a lower and lower mph. As far as turning off the tiltback (173.9 mph), the tiltback stays off at all times. Hope this helps you.

If I remember, the ID that you'll see begins with "LK" followed by a number. For instance, mine is LK752. So look for something like that. If EUC World shows zero devices than there's a possibility that the Bluetooth module is not fully seated into the control board, or is bad. You can open the top panel and inspect the condition of the Bluetooth module. They can be replaced if necessary.

Nice! Is the headlight red when it flashes now? Or still blue? I’m patiently waiting till Tuesday for my Sherman to arrive...

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Mine is now red. Looks like they are all red.

[@davidevans5782]

Mine are blue, will that change when I get my firmware updated??

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@davidevans5782 No. The color is hardware based (the color of the LED).

Tiltback off but tilts you back when voltage drops?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes. It's not possible to turn off low voltage tilt-back or high-voltage (too much regen) tilt-back

[@WillofNewZealand]

@@ElectricUnicycles i believe its possible but not done in some wheels. I believe firmware code should read. Accelerate until voltage drops then tilt back. Example the sherman set to tilt back at 58.2kph does not only tilt back at that speed but also tilts back at slower and slower speeds as voltage drops. As demo by wrong way proved. So wheel can be progrsmed to engauge tilt back based on voltage drop. So i believe i should be able to set tilt back speed to 190kph. Then speed up toward 190kph until voltage drops then be tilted back. I might get to 89kph before the voltage cant keep up then get tilted back. It can be programed based on voltage wrong way demo proved it does that. It does not have to be based on speed. Wrong ways demo proves it.

@@WillofNewZealand Sure, anything is possible. But the reality is that Veteran and Gotway do not write their firmware how you would prefer that they do.

[@WillofNewZealand]

@@ElectricUnicycles my hope is to write my own then. Or find who does. I have z10 mod i can put in that enables it to carry rider to 58kph. Thats the same speed as an expensive sherman. I hear getting into sherman firmware might have been made dificult. Actual tested range is 153km. Maybe i should go back to looking at s20. It could be faster out of box. Firmware accessable. Range claimed 150km. Suspention. Is it the better wheel. Hum. I was about to buy sherman but im wavering now.

[@phantomlg2007]

I'm 223 lbs what psi you recommend?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That's a tough call because it depends on how you ride and your desired comfort level. Certainly nothing lower than 30 (to prevent possible rim damage). Some people go up to 45. I would experiment which is easy enough to do. Good luck

[@phantomlg2007]

@@ElectricUnicycles I want comfort while preventing rim damage, I ride my msp at 36 psi but recently damaged the rim.

voltride.com still has sherman in EU stock

☝️Embarrassing as it is to say. My only two flats were from not checking my tire pressure when I first received my 2 wheels KS18S N Monster. I pinched the tubes after a few days/week of riding on low preasure. The bigger tires are difficult to tell if pressure is low just by squeezing them. The tires are pretty stiff on there own.

[@narrowpath2980]

is your sherman still not slimed Marty ? thanks for the video

[@ElectricUnicycles]

After seeing a local rider get a flat by a very long thorn, I did Slime the Sherman tire :-)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

And BTW, the rider who got the flat from the thorn fixed it by putting Slime in the tire.

[@narrowpath2980]

Lol , thanks Marty , I’ll be picking up my Sherman tomorrow, went ahead with the order despite the unfortunate fire the had , will be sliming first thing . Stay safe thanks again

[@COBARHORSE1]

I'm curious as to how much trouble it is to change a tire.

[@WinkieDuck]

there's a video on youtube.

[@archeebookingagent1909]

no trouble at all.. just take it all apart... that's like cooking with favorite spices.... you know. who doesn't wrencheveryday doesn't live to full

[@ElectricUnicycles]

LOL

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's a fair amount of trouble. Look at my Sherman Playlist to watch some of my other videos.
