EUC 'Barn Find' | Kind of.....

[@KevinRedmondWA]

There will always be a place for these wheels in my life. I throw them in the trunk and never wear protection when riding them, and it’s great!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Exactly!

[@ronnedal]

Great to see you again, Ian! It's been a while since your last video. Hope you had a great summer. I miss the great adventures you and Jon used to go about. Think I've watched the 1000-miler 3 times all the way through. I still have my 2 V8's a V10F and a KS18XL. All still working fine and I have no interest at all going off on one of those off roads jumping beast that seems to keep all the manufacturers busy. I like the kind of rides you were talking about here. The ones where you don't need to kit up, you enjoy the glide and go for an icecream. Thanks for the video, brings back a lot of memories! I think I saw your V8 review 10 times before buying one. =)

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Hi Jens! All those hark back to ‘easier’ times, fun times!

[@Duf]

Ian your original videos on the NB 1 were some of the first I ever watched and got me into the hobby, thanks buddy.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Wow, thats pretty cool! Hope you are doing well.

[@Duf]

@@Speedyfeetuk I am doing well. I commented on a live stream not too long ago how I haven't seen/heard much from you lately on KZbin. It is a breath of fresh air to see you back on a wheel.

[@Roskellan]

Me too, Speedyfeet videos is where I started and why I ride the Ninebot One E+ even today.

[@1x1offroad_adventure]

I have 2 of them, still working perfectly. Was offroading these hard😂 One E and One E+. Both of them come from you guys🤙

[@kadefrank3841]

Hi Ian, sooo good to see you again. It brings me back the memory of your "Mega pack" 100 miles ninebot and your riding with Jon. Just good old days. BTW, My first and favorite wheel is also a small one, a 67 volts mcm5. I ride it since 2019 and it's now about 6500 km (about 4000 miles). Riding a small wheel always makes me feel so happy😁.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Wow, those were the days!

[@euczero]

More videos Ian. We miss you immensely ❤❤❤!!!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Awww cheers.

[@superfly99206]

I started a little late, my first wheel is a kingsong 16S, still have it ride it once in a while, 20 mile range, like you amazed the batteries still hold a charge, I enjoy the British banter, brilliant.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thats pretty good going after all that time!

[@oldretireddude]

I'm watching from the USA, thanks for the video, but I bought the V8F in mid 2020, enjoyed its ergonomic commuting manners; size, weight, pickup kill switch, & trolley handle design. Being a full figured male:), I just recently bought the Veteran Patton to be able to have piece-of-mind headroom in traffic.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

'full figured' ha ha

[@marcussweden8521]

Woohoo! Ian is finally back. You have been missed. Speedyfeet rules.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Awww cheers Marcus.

[@gingerdude94]

I have had my used V5F for 3 weeks now, i love just cruising at 10mph, very chilled, and super fun.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Brilliant!

[@wheelman6964]

Still have an E+ and a even a P version that managed not to blow the board! The wheels that started the whole journey, learning with these specs and slowly progressing with stronger, faster wheels allowed, together with your great tutorials on this wheel, reaching a level of technique and performance I would have never dreamt of. Great memories, thanks Ian!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Very cool!

[@DonovanWert]

Awesome nice to see a video from you again❤ thanks brother!!🙏

[@Speedyfeetuk]

My pleasure!!

[@mikeintampa250]

Hi Ian, beautiful video full of wisdom. Great to see you riding again on video.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers Mike!

[@johnl5439]

Good to see a new video Ian. Hope everyone is OK. Hopefully more to come.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers John!

[@BrianScheuring]

Welcome back! I've been missing your videos!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers!

[@WILSONsHobbies]

welcome back sir speedy.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thank you kindly. Over next month or so hopefully more to come, we are in the middle of acquiring a warehouse, which hopefully will make this stuff easier.

[@brentonporter6925]

Small wheels are awesome! I have a 16x and S22pro but I recently bought a 14D for my wife to ride on and I love it. It lives in my car and we both ride it constantly. The 14D and probably a 16S would in reality fit 99% of use cases.

[@ek-nz]

I’ve got the S18 but I still enjoy my 14D

[@Speedyfeetuk]

That is awesome!

[@freeforester1717]

Thank God for a ‘Whalley’ trouble-free vid! 🤣 Hoping to see more of your vids in the near future 👍🏻

[@Speedyfeetuk]

More to come!

[@arrshyan]

Great to see videos again always entertaining.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Glad you like them!

[@therealchayd]

Still got my Ninebot One, lives in the car just in case I get stranded or need to get anywhere they don't allow cars, lovely sturdy little wheel.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Soon to be hens teeth!

[@markyoung1622]

nice to see you back, been a while

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Cheers Mark!

[@ek-nz]

This is great. I kept my KS14D because of this sentiment exactly. Got it in 2019.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Still going strong I guess? 😎

[@ek-nz]

@@Speedyfeetuk absolutely!

[@satanspawn71]

Still got my C i bought from you, still does 6-8 miles, and its still goes up hills like a good one. Easy to chuck in the boot, decent charge times and weight, it still feels nice to ride, only thing i've changed is the tyre a couple of times for a Schwalbe as the original was a bit rubbish. My handle is still intact too!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Wow! Keep that one on display ha ha

[@MichaelRada-INDUSTRY50]

Dear Ian, let me add one more piece of information that you did not mention. SPEEDY FEED was at that time the EUC authority not only in Europe, but Worldwide

[@Speedyfeetuk]

The early days not a lot of people in the industry, now looks at it!

[@euc-chasingpavements7332]

I don't believe it ! A lesser spotted Ian Sampson 😂

[@Speedyfeetuk]

🤣

[@freeforester1717]

Whalley preferable to the alternative 🤣

[@neilgutteridge6405]

Good plug for the mten4..........you've almost convinced me to get one.😊

[@Speedyfeetuk]

You should!

[@naincarmona]

My first wheel!! THE perfect first wheel!!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yay! You still have it?

[@naincarmona]

@@Speedyfeetuk yes sir!

[@hammyhamster4045]

I learnt to ride on a ninebot one S2 model. Yep definitely never knew when it was gonna kill you 😂 thise pedal dips certainly wake you up. Nice to see you back 👍

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Pedal dips are the best ha ha

[@tang-rider3148]

Good to see you again! Smels like S19 S16 tests pretty soon 😅

[@Speedyfeetuk]

We don’t have them on order so not likely sorry!

[@Laenthal]

they turned out to be senseless pieces of something. S16 weighs 33+ kilograms, which is more than S18 or v11 or t4. S19 is only couple kilos lighter than S22 and is in every way weaker..

[@Roskellan]

Remember it, I have two, both from you probably. Well a Ninebot One E+ anyway. The Ninebot is my last mile wheel, I ride them quite a lot, parking out of town and riding in. It's funny how having only intended to ride it into town how I have gone further. The Ninebot was a brilliant wheel to learn on, it's still the only wheel I can ride backwards (well sort of). Another great thing about the Ninebot is that its not intimidating for other people if you are riding near them. It is also IP rated to IP55, read it a weep more modern wheels. I still wear a cycle helmet and wrist guards. The Ninebot One E+ still have my vote even today when I own a 16X, S18 and a Master as well.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

You are rolling around on vintage wheels now ;)

[@Roskellan]

@@Speedyfeetuk They mature like fine wine 🙂

[@Duf]

My E+ did try to kill me a few times with that aggressive tilt back combines with less than ideal grip on the pedals when wet. More than once I slid right off them when tilt back rushed in. Mine was gifted to my brother-in-law last year.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Nice, he can now ‘enjoy’ the tilt back 😮😁

[@LR11Gaming]

I got a kingsong 16s in 2018 and that was my first and its still around.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Nice one, powerful and good size battery..and still made!

[@r1skbreak3r61]

The One S2 was my first, and I never got to the point of feeling comfortable on it. I found the tyre felt thin and made me feel unstable when turning. Got an Mten3 not long after the One and found that a lot easier to learn on. Still learning now, just on a V12 HS which is a whole different animal!

[@Speedyfeetuk]

My kids learnt on the mten3, massively quicker for them to learn on the 3 inch wide 10inch tire.

[@grb1969]

I’m 300# in gear, but I learned on a “TeamGee 5”, which is a 300Watt wheel. Still works, great experience.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thanks for sharing!

[@SenatorPerry]

Still ride my E+ every now and then. :-)

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Brilliant!

[@reitze01]

A friend I taught to ride this spring bought a V5F from me (max 15mph), for $400 (lightly used). Compared to my e+ its slightly better. And I have an A1 that I use for beginners (swapping among sold A1s with beginners currently).

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Brilliant!

[@wobbleeriders636]

My first learner wheel, ninebot one e+ and my first experience in first experience in face planting. Many yonks ago....

[@Speedyfeetuk]

welcome to the faceplant club ha ha.

[@reedreamer9518]

I know what you mean about the "care-free" wheel. I've had my V8 for 6 years and I ride it almost everyday, but its so slow and manageable I've never worn a helmet or geared up to ride. And I've never fallen - ever! Well I did stumble that once when I was looking at that hot girl in a bikini and caught a rut, but I landed on my feet no problem. ; )

[@Speedyfeetuk]

That'll learn you ;)

[@electricunipsycho]

Did youbever get any ninebot one P? They discontinued that pretty quick then we didnt see anything until the z10

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yes had one, not sure where it went in the end!

[@marty1765]

I miss my ks-14 because it was just fun and simple like this.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Exactly!!

[@euc-chasingpavements7332]

When you say none skull fracturing maybe you should be trying to sell one to Johnathan Whalley.😮😂

[@Speedyfeetuk]

ha ha, many a helmet has saved his life ;)

[@mikeh6286]

Is that an E or E+ ? I had an E and its "ride mode" felt extremely "soft". I still ride very old wheels but not this old. Still extremely capable and useful. They're safe as long as you stay within the limits. As they age you don't go near max speed/torque/wattage.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

An E I believe… yeah going too quick leads to disaster!

[@pauledwardbinney5596]

Yep, still have my Ninebot C+ Ian 👍

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Wow, great to hear! Still works?

[@pauledwardbinney5596]

@@Speedyfeetuk it certainly does👍

[@stefan541]

I still own one...I use it when going for a haircut when I dont use helmet.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Very true. With a fresh trim you don’t want it messed up!

[@ek-nz]

Haircut is why I got a wheel in the first place. Didn’t want to drive because of parking. Walking you end up slightly sweaty for your haircut which isn’t nice. Rental scooters and cycling are too dangerous, so wheel it is!

[@electricunipsycho]

Would be like me getting back on a wind rider lol

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Ha ha true!

[@MichaelRada-INDUSTRY50]

My third wheel in 2015, make 17000 km before selling it and it have fourth owner and still riding

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Thats some good milage!

[@MichaelRada-INDUSTRY50]

@@Speedyfeetuk 70K+ in total, but that's not as important as the fact that I enjoy riding the same as the first day. It is a pity that in the UK still illegal, same as in Germany, Japan, and some other destinations. Not happy about the superfast and superstrong machines that can be a reason to apply restrictions to all, instead of opening it to all. I started with AIRWHEEL Q3, over A3, A8 and then came the NINEBOT ONE E+ which I think I bought from you, same as similar other units for growing community of riders

[@lirva666]

Don't know why but few times landed on my bum with my C+ on downhills.

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Slippery footplates - way before the time of spiked or grippy footplates

[@freeforester1717]

“Non-offensive fun -just fun”; so - not like Whalley at all, eh? 🤣 Still, at least he kept the repair division in work, most weeks!😂

[@Speedyfeetuk]

He loves it!

[@fazer12779]

The V8F wouldn't be as comfortable as the Ninebot E+ because the E+ has comfortable side padding which is important. Also wheels now are way too big & bulky. The Kingsong KS16s is what the Ninebot E+ should be.I now have the Gotway/Begode RS19 HS & it's nowhere near as good build quality wise as the Ninebot, (but much faster) The Ninebot has Apple build quality,

[@Speedyfeetuk]

The V8F for me with the calf muscle height positioning of the side pads is more comfortable, only because my conditioning has long gone on my ankles (they hurt today after that ride lol). KS16s heavier but similar form factor and miles quicker, cracking wheel!

[@Lowlandeuc]

I have an gotway mcm4

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Nice!

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Segway soooo screwed themselves not producing this vehicle....they had 'patents' but never made...

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Yup! Then Ninebot bought out Segway to get around the patents things......but then sadly killed their product and investment in EUC!

[@electricunipsycho]

You didn't seriously find it there did ya? Lol

[@electricunipsycho]

Just got to the part where you said you didn't lol

[@doctorbrown2313]

OYYYYYY!!! Hey bruv.. we all learned on that wheel together at the same time. Those days were golden. Watching people look at us like we were aliens when we rode by. And the NB1 was the king of the hill. I've still got 2 of them. one could use a fresh battery. Any ideas for getting a battery for the E+?

[@Speedyfeetuk]

Nice one! Batteries would have to be built now as years since they were made oem.

[@doctorbrown2313]

@@Speedyfeetuk indeed.. These batteries are so volatile that I don't really trust anybody to build me one.. I guess I could always use it as a 37 pound paper weight. Hahaaa

@@doctorbrown2313 yeah need to be super careful. If you do moth ball it, we would recommend draining it down to 0v to ensure no weirdness happens!
