EUC Journey How It Feels To Hit 30 MPH On The Lynx

[@Ghostman_fpv]

Looking good! Make sure your pads are setup right. I set mine one side a little further forward than the other. It really helps with wabbles. Not sure if you have the lowering kit. It also helps. Try to put uneven pressure on the pads while accelerating and braking. I routinely ride the Lynx at 50 plus with zero wobbles with that riding style.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

50 plus 😳 that’s fast. One day. Not too soon though 🤣 I do have the pedals lowered. I have to adjust the pads. They’re not right. I’ll get em there. 50 plus no wobble. I’m just like wow. The Lynx is a beast.

[@grb1969]

{tl:dr. Very long, but you asked. 😆} Carving helps reduce wobbles. Carve to prevent wobbles and carve to help recover from wobbles. If you’re not carving, you’re at much higher risk for wobbles… riding straight down the road on the crown of your tire is asking for trouble because every pebble, bump or perturbation will upset your perceived stability and force you to have a delayed reaction, then over correction, then induced oscillations = wobbles! To prevent wobbles any rider should be continuously shifting your weight across the centerline of the wheel so that there is an outside centrifugal force between your leg and the wheel that enhances control and stability. That said, wobbles are a complex phenomenon that relates to the design of EUCs but can be almost completely negated with training time and the experience that builds up muscle memory and fine motor coordination, which takes years to develop. The most common mistake riders make when encountering wobbles is delaying the onset of carving out of fear, which makes wobbles worse, then bailing out too soon before significantly decelerating… which increases risk of injuries. NEVER BAIL OUT EARLY WITH WOBBLES! Ride the wheel as far as possible while trying to dissipate the energy by redirecting your efforts into turning while slowing down (or speeding up too)… just don’t freeze up, if possible. Flow comes from being always in transition so that the inherent design characteristics of the EUC’s dynamic instability are matched with your dynamic stability and then the emergence gracefulness occurs naturally. Sounds easy but it requires time, patience and practice riding on unstable surfaces like trails, bumpy grass or dirt roads (these help with fine muscle coordination skill development) and will make higher speeds feel more accessible and safer to explore. In order to ride fast safely, every rider should ride slowly while challenging their balance skills on a variety of terrains at the slowest speeds possible… this opens up more higher speed comfort than just trying to increase your speeds without having built up a strong foundation. Exaggerating your carving might seem awkward but it will help reinforce the idea that you should almost always be on one side or the other of your tire’s centerline but almost never attempting to ride on that edge continuously trying to maintain a neutral straight trajectory (where you’re more vulnerable to the onset of the wobbles. Hope that helps. Now it’s only a question of the severities of injuries that will determine who’s quickly you get back to conquering this attribute that almost everyone struggles to learn and overcome. Love the gear but most gear is uncomfortable and unsuitable for Florida heat and humidity. That said, my fantasy gear in 90° heat is a full leather track suit with level 2 protection on all possible areas. I prefer one-piece but a matching pant/jacket might be better for destination rides. The perforated leather does lose some strength but is probably better unless you prefer to ride in rain. Most importantly is to get a motorcycle liquid cooled vest with an external ice-chest that can be mounted on top of your Lynx but below your custom seat. This way, you can get a 2 pound bag of ice anywhere on your ride and have an air conditioned full leather suit which is ultimately the easiest way to get gear on and off quickly. (Imho)

I have to get into carving. Now that you mentioned it I’m gonna watch a few vids today on how to do it. I’m just not comfortable yet but I few videos will point me in the right direction. Thank you for the tips for sure. I appreciate all the help I can get💯

[@JonGZBOS]

Once you get use to the gear you put it all on like tying your shoes you barely notice it. Been riding EUCs for 4 years. Full face helmet, armored jacket, leatts, armored back, wrist guards. Once you start riding over 40+ it's essential. Best of luck !

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank you my friend. Did my first ride today with all the gear and it felt great. Only thing I need is some gloves. I won’t be riding with out my gear. An I actually like the Robocop look 😭

[@HUGH_JHANIS]

Great job man..!! Good motivation, i got the "patton S" my first euc 5 days ago.. wish i had a long run like that i have short blocks by me and 26/27 is my top and that feels crazy passing parked cars and pedestrians i swear im going 40. Lol i also have crap roads which dosn t help and gotta find my perfect foot placement still playing with it but mounting no problem at least..

[@codyyorg7786]

Maybe if you can you can try Carving side to side to keep control of your wheel better while doing higher speeds.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Someone else said the same thing. I have ya watch some videos on how to carve. It’s easy on the Onewheel. I’m not comfortable enough on the EUC. I’m making it a point to learn. Thank you my friend 🙌🏾

[@Stefonewheel]

Congratulations my gee. And thank you so much for the shout out. Brother I’m happy for you. This is an accomplishment. I remember the feeling. Keep on riding safe my dude.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

My guy. 43 must feel your on a rocket. 🚀 30 feels like it to me 🤣 I’m taking it easy but I can’t wait till I can pick it up like you!! Keep the vids coming my guy 🙌🏾

[@cash2.0]

The Lynx motor sound changes as the speed increases. Try making a mental note of the sounds at different speeds and you can get an idea of how fast you are going without having to look down. The faster the Lynx winds up the sweeter it sings. The gyro effect will help keep you up at speed but if you start to wobble at 30 give the wheel inputs to stop it before it progresses. Watch out for grooves in the road that can cause train tracking. It's scary AF at speed. Have fun and stay safe.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Solid tips 🙌🏾 that’s what I’m talking about. Thank you my friend. I’ll definitely start paying attention to the sound so I can gage it.

[@RickBarford]

Exhilarating isn't it? But wear your new "Robocop" gear before you try for 40 plus --- please!. I do recommend the Pidzoom mirror, I have it and it's a great quality unit. ----- Addictive isn't it? Good to see you having fun .... keep em coming! Rick-the-Brit, from the other side of the pond. Tchau

[@therealbergexperience5640]

My friend!! So exhilarating. I wore the gear for the first time today and the pidzoom mirror came too. I feel so complete now. I’m not thing I need is some glove. That’s next though. I’m love the robocop look too 😭😂

[@MrEddieNunez]

The PEV King right here! I rode my OW GT yesterday and it felt great! I am wobbling and get nervous at times.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I love to hear it my friend. That’s how it is in the beginning. A little tremblingly but you just got to do it a little more. I ride it everyday still. Take it easy and gear up. Definitely don’t want to see you get injured. Although after my injury I fell in love with it even more 😂 there’s also stuff you can do to make it feel more comfy. Footpad in the back and grip tape. Just keep going my guy and stay safe.

[@franklinbrown7389]

I find gearing up for an EUC ride to be an enjoyable ritual. As you do it more and tweak gear your will find it's no big deal. I love seeing people get excited about the sport. Good luck and remember to take it slow and respect you and your wheels capabilities. Learning to ride is such a fun and magical experience.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank you my friend. I pretty much tried on all the gear today. Only thing I’m missing is some gloves. Jacket definitely feels great. I might drop a video on that in the next couple of days.

[@MichaelHollandOne]

30 was gettin' it man! Spookie to me but thats from someone just starting to ride. I'll be glad when I can cruise at 12 🙂 (as you know, second day learning to ride my V8s, hurt my elbow so haven't even gotten the basic ridiing down yet). Keep up the good work, great videos and sharing you experience with us. Definitely encouraging me not to give up yet. Safe riding...

[@smokeyBJJ]

I really thought you were older than me lol. I hit 39mph on my Vesc last week.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

44 and counting. 39 on a vesc? Are you kidding me. 19 feels pretty decent. I would like a little more but 39 has to feel like actual flying 🤣🚀

[@EUCme]

Congratulations!!! I, too, am easing my way into experience. Yesterday, I cracked 28mph and feel comfortable at 25mph sustained. You're doing great, but wear all the gear you can early on and you'll love the Pedzoom mirror. I'm hoping you increase by 2mph versus 5mph intervals as the energy amplifies so quickly mile by mile; we don't want you to get hurt. You look great on that Linx. ~maverick

[@therealbergexperience5640]

25 feels pretty nice. Not too crazy. I tell you what though. 30 feels like 🚀🤣 I just got my gear and I love it. It’ll save me for sure. I’ll make it a video on the over the next couple days. Thank you my friend!!

[@OneWheelTwoSkis]

Carving while accelerating helps eliminate some wobble. When deaccelerating, I stiffen my legs and grip the wheel. Kudos! Keep pushing!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

For sure. I’m trying to get there. I need to watch some videos on carving on the EUC. I can do it all day on the Onewheel. Not there yet on the Lynx. I’ll make it point to work on it. Thank you my friend!!

[@skeet88]

Good video you’ll be riding 40mph in no time but stay safe

[@therealbergexperience5640]

I can’t imagine what 40s gonna feel like. 30 feels like I’m flying. Slowly but surely I’ll move up there. EUC journey is an absolute blast!!

[@jeduwardovega6239]

FIGHTS AND EUC I just found my channel ❤it great content my man 💪😎👌⚡️

[@therealbergexperience5640]

My guy. Them fights were awesome 💯 I don’t miss a fight night 🤣 girl fights an all. I can talk about UFC all day. I gotchu 🙌🏾

[@BlockCylinder]

I'm in about the same spot that you're in. I can get my Inmotion V12 up to about 25mph without wobbles (and with somewhat low tire pressure). And 25mph feels really fast to me right now... Just ordered an ET Max and hope to get comfortable at higher speeds so that 25-30 can just be normal.

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Feels like it’s flying at 25 don’t it? I hit 30 and it just felt a little too fast. It was stable but I just got the sense of 1 wrong move. Eventually we’ll get comfortable with it 🙌🏾 looking forward to that day 💯

[@oldretireddude]

Ride safe!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Most definitely. It’s gear from hear on out. Thank you my friend!!

[@oldretireddude]

@@therealbergexperience5640 Even though I find the EUC to be very safe and reliable, you're definitely starting to venture into "dress for the slide... territory".

great video again 🎉doing well now

[@therealbergexperience5640]

My guy. I know that name from the Facebook group. How’s the weather in Chicago? Commander Pro right?

[@Laic]

@@therealbergexperience5640 Chicago weather great this past 4 weeks not lot of heat or rain 🌧️, yes I got same logo and name everywhere easy to identify me 😂😂

Grats bro 👏

Thank you my guy 🙌🏾💯

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

Imaging dawn doing 60

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Seriously 😳 and I saw 1 video where crashed. Geared up so she came out pretty unscathed but damn. I love watching her videos. Very knowledgeable in the sport. Her content has helped me a ton.

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

Hey breaking a leg like I did and spending over a year to walk again is more cumbersome. Stop crying and put your gear on!!!’

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

Thanks for your videos !!

[@therealbergexperience5640]

Thank you my friend!! Trust me. I know. I can’t afford to be missing work or being able to ride. I hurt my foot and couldn’t ride for a week or so. Broken leg 🤕 now that sucks. I always say as long as you don’t break a bone all is well. I can take a cut like nothing but broken bones change you. Hope your all healed up. N I’m definitely gearing up 🙌🏾

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

@@therealbergexperience5640 It looks like you have some great knee pads, and I didn’t even know knee pad braces existed! When I broke my leg, I had everything except those. I hope to progress to where you are, and maybe one day I'll be able to ride with you and a few others I’ve seen here. You have no idea how much your videos help me mentally, especially since I can’t even walk right now. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. This Wednesday, I find out if I can start putting weight on my leg. I also have a Sherman L on the way, and an E20 sitting next to my recliner. It’s going to be my mobility/rehab device, and maybe even help me get around the house.
