Epic! One Wheel Electric Unicycle, Ride from Brooklyn to Manhattan in Traffic.

[@AvecPasdMains]

Love this video brother, the comments are great. It's cool to see people ride really fast but it's nice to have kind of a "behind the scene". There are so many things going on when you ride: how fast you need to be, how much space you need, how's the road condition, where you need to go next...It comes naturally after a while but it's nice to expose this. We're not just recklessly going as fast as we can. 💪

[@BlackElroy]

Wow that’s well said brother, that is a perspective I did not realize was evident but it’s true. KZbin and long form has challenged me to reveal more. Glad to have you here brother 🖤.

@@BlackElroy -you ride 6 years - what speeds do you ride ? i see here guys that just got the EUC and already think they must hit 40mph. (i ride 2 months and never cross the 10mph).

I like that camera, gotta get one. I onewheel a lot now and want to document my trips, the people I meet (spoke for half hour today with a helicopter pilot) and for my protection if something goes awry. I like your video, I see nothing wrong with your techniques, it is really neat. I have never visited New York and this is a good ground level view of a lot of things. Nice.

[@BlackElroy]

Wow I wish you well in your journey, I hope you do follow through in your vision. Thanks for showing and thanks for the positive feedback and love. Hope you subscribe and stay active, would love an update.

[@JeskaRain]

Production quality getting on point! I really love the top down forward facing view and very low side view( forward facing too) the most. The high one sort of like 3rd person in a game( but still see the wheel) and the low one like as if shoulder cam the wheel itself. Most riders film with the camera facing them and I do like it but more for transitional maneuvers like slo mo shots during an epic lean while cornering or a snappy dodge or redirect.

[@BlackElroy]

This is well written and well thought out, thank you for the detailed review, I’ll keep this feedback in my notes for the next one I do.

[@cfrankfly]

You got it dialed in!!!

[@BlackElroy]

Hahahaha facts, just going with the flow

[@updlate4756]

If you're looking for some warmer gloves for the winter, my snowboarding gloves with built in wrist guards keep my hands toasty. Big negative is I can't access my phone with them; too bulky. Some wind breaker mittens to throw over your gloves/wrist guards may work though, where it's easy to take them off if you need to get to your phone. One day we'll get some HUD monocles to replace the phone screen to get us a bit closer to cyberpunk reality. :) Nice video.

[@BlackElroy]

Hahahaha love your futuristic projection. They don’t make gloves for euc riders, we are so exposed that air kicks through even the thick gloves. Yea I definitely need to access my phone so I look forward to the bud monocles.

[@mgtowlevel5293]

I guess that's a regional thing. I don't wear wrist guards because I can't work my pistol good enough with them on. Always some f wits trying to run up with problems.

How did you do an emergency stop when you are sitting?

I stand to emergency stop while seated. It is the most effective stop actually.

i wanna ride broolyn but getting doored in the bike lane is a fear i forget and relearn again have u been doored before?

The bike lane is some parts are very narrow or it's just de câmera view?

[@BlackElroy]

yea it can be the most dangerous part of the street actually because no one respects it.

[@NewsViewsAndTruth]

August, I would like to make a recommendation to you about subtitles. I feel they are important, and you must also in order to take the time to put them on. there was this youtube creator that I think optimizes this system. His channel is primitive technologies, and it is silent. You can still use the same strategies with speaking. he would get hundreds of thousands of views in fifteen minutes, and I searched for how and why. My thought is that he optimized the subtitle system to garner international traffic. He made sure to type in his transcript, but then also translated it into many languages. His being silent was cool, because you could watch it and just try to figure out what he was making and how. Then you could turn on the subtitles and get an explanation on things. It's not that I am saying that you have to change, but I thought it was a cool opportunity to mention this bit of tactic (which I thought was one of the smartest things that I have seen on youtube). Would people from other countries want to watch some eUC stuff? I am not sure. I just don't have much faith in the current status of the automatic captions generated by youtube.

[@QQ251647742]

What's your thought on suspension wheels? Do you think future wheels should be equipped with suspensions? Or you want bigger wheels but with no suspension?

[@BlackElroy]

It’s funny that a few higher level riders are blocking out the suspension in the new suspension wheels, I know suspension is the future of euc for the average consumer, but the people that want the best performance know suspension stifles that.

they are there to remind you to cross with caution I believe.

[@ragon747]

For how long are you ride EUCs?

[@BlackElroy]

6 years now bro

[@cellospot]

I was talking with my 63yo retired city bus driver dad last night about EUCs, which I have just discovered and think are cooler than cool, and he just ripped into non-car culture (motorcycles, bicyclists, etc) weaving around cars, scaring the bejeezus out of vehicle drivers, and generally ticking drivers off with their disrespect toward others (my dad gets stressed out really easily, PTSD, etc, so anything out of the order he thinks things should be gets him going), etc. He said that anything driven should abide by the same traffic rules as cars, and shouldn't have "special rights" just because they're small and can move past cars easily. I couldn't say anything that would dissuade him from his position, so I just let him talk himself out of the topic. But it did bring up a question for me, because I would like to get an EUC, maybe at one point -- I'm all for downsizing and finding ways to save money, and, unlike my poor dad, I don't mind learning to adjust to a changing world -- but I was wondering, are there any kind of traffic laws in place for them? They're different from anything else out there, and being so small, they can go anywhere, so I'm just wondering if there have been any restrictions made on their mobility on the road/off-road. For example, a couple times I saw you riding in the on-coming traffic lane to bypass all the traffic in the lane you were going in. For a bicyclist or motorcycle, that would be a no-no, and technically, they would get ticketed. Ok, thanks!

[@BlackElroy]

Man, each generation is different. Your dad won’t be around to see the destruction of the planet from all of these gas powered vehicles. We will have to deal with the erratic weather. Every person that get on an electric vehicle is one less person in a gas powered car. Cars statistically are far more dangerous than any vehicle by far. If you get a euc it’s up to you how risky you want to be, you don’t have to weave you can just ride. I say make the decision for you and your future.

[@Nemonurwingy]

EUCs are the best, for sure. The complaints most people have about all PEVs is that they could get hit by cars or they park on sidewalks. Guess what, stop driving a car for local trips and give up a tiny fraction for parking, and that goes away. It’s dumb to drive a big vehicle for close travel by yourself when you could just take a 50 pound thing for the same purpose. My wife raises her eye at me when I do an errand on the EUC, but I need her to race me some day, because I guarantee it’s faster in our suburban area. If a backpack and my hands do it, I’ll do that trip on an EUC unless the weather is terrible.

[@BlackElroy]

Hahahaha absolutely love this. On top of all that micro mobility is healthier for the earth. You should pose a race with your wife, that would definitely be something to remember and you can let me know the results lol but you are spot on here brother, glad to have your opinion.

[@jeremiahcannon4443]

…new to topic. Regis for riding?_ same as bicycles? ( basically?)… maybe insta pro mount on top of helmet?… ride on. Great posts for travelers, and maybe mapping for route trackers???.. u should city w/ Instapro… just a thought…

[@BlackElroy]

Excellent advice, cam on hat and route tracker, both are doable so I will next time. Thanks for watching bro. And I think that’s a good idea i actually did it for a while before I got the darkness bot on my Apple Watch

@@BlackElroy - I'm 70, but the access to these wheels has got me fired up!!!- Your on the cutting edge my bro.

Can you imagine that every car that you pass with somebody in it they are a potential new recruit to your movement. Believe you me, people will look at you and start doing math just by nature it’s automatic. No gas, no traffic jams, you’re having fun, no parking issues, and then there’s a myriad of other things that I haven’t mentioned that most car drivers know .meanwhile, I’m sitting in a prison On wheels ,looking at you, passed me by? If I see somebody that has found a way out of the matrix. I’m surely going to follow.

[@hemigod2]

When I typed this statement, I wasn’t in three minutes into the video so forgive me as I didn’t realize that you were going to mention those other things that car drivers know about

[@MichaelSawyer69]

Hello. I live in the US city of New York quite a bit of time. Please tell me - can I ride a unicycle and not have problems with the police? Just as I understand it - unicycles are illegal here. I would be grateful if you could help me figure it out. I want to buy but I'm afraid of future problems.

[@MockeryManor]

I say go for it. I bought one for myself a day ago. NYC has not made PEV’s legal yet. Only recently have they made e-bikes legal, but only if they have pedal assist. Technically, you are still pedaling which abides by the antiquated laws of bike riding for NYC. The cops will not bother you if you have a PEV, for the most part. I’ve had my e-bike before it was legal in NYC, and I was never bothered. I’ve seen ppl ride one-wheels and EUC’s all the time, they never get bothered. And if you really think about it, EUC’s are not legal in most of the US and even in popular parts of Europe. But people still get them. You just have to ride responsibly in bike lanes and respect traffic rules, and you’ll be fine. I personally can’t wait to master my Inmotion V8S. 🤟🏾

[@Dogo.R]

How do the police treat you? Curious if you have had any interactions with them and how it went.

[@BlackElroy]

They don’t bother us, we don’t cause accidents and chaos, so they see it as more of a cool thing

[@ThePawel36]

What bothers me is lack of any kind of flashing light mounted on you. Don't you feel like improving visibility of yourself among those cars? Cheers..

[@BlackElroy]

Na I put a filter on the video, so it’s darker then it was that day, this ride was in the morning and my bag and jacket is reflective.

[@markmcfarland2579]

No Hate but you started the video saying it's about 10 miles..and in reality it's 5.9. cause I was about to say 10 miles in 25 minutes is phenomenal in traffic. You still did your thing tho.

The barrel-roll function is neither interesting nor welcome. Just one opinion, you do you.

[@luk_euc]

With all gray/black colors you are wearing and no lights you are going to be run over by the car pretty soon. Please understand that the drivers just do not see you at all as they are not used to such moving objects on the road. Get YELLOW and get your lights on! See safe gear at kzbin.info

[@astyn3117]

Totally understand your message, but to start off like that is very negative man … there’s ways to communicate a bit better

[@mcfly_ev]

I’m all about the bright colors but I don’t support the lights at all, they are distracting to drivers and riders. Bright colors and reflective materials are a better option in my opinion.

[@BlackElroy]

Thanks bro 🦾

[@BlackElroy]

Yea, this video is color graded to be darker, my jacket my hat and my pads are all reflective and I have lights everywhere when I need them, ones that are not bothersome. A green jacket never stopped anyone from getting hit or getting hurt, it’s about decisions on the road.
