Learning How To Ride An Electric Unicycle

[@18yearsoldnot]

@Direct Netstores I broke a wrist on a hoverboard after my friend told me "just step off" (because he failed to mention not to step off in a forward direction). This guy in the video is saying exactly the same bullshit without telling you how hard these things can sweep under your feet in a blink of an eye if you're not warned about how powerful these things accelerate when you don't want them to.

Hey you guys sold me a V8F AND i love it. I'm 74 so i limit the speed to 15 and it moves me good. Today i was riding a good distance in the snow. Me and the wheel did great, kinda cold for the old guy but not horrible 17deg. I think.

[@hvguy]

If this 74 year old gentleman can learn to ride one of these in the snow, in 17 degree weather.... Nobody has any excuses 🤣

It's been a week since receiving my very first solo wheel and I'm sure that I would still be spilling out and letting the wheel get away from me, if not for this tutorial. On my first day, within hours I was riding without incident. By the end of the day I was riding with complete confidence. Great Job!

[@EUCOllective]

Yay! We are so glad this video has helped you! Ride on ✌

[@williamclsator5252]

BTW, I'm 66 years old. If this fossil can learn, anyone can. Thanks again.

Good for you

[@alanheaven6776]

BEST learning video I've seen so far. I just started today (55 year old guy) and was able to actually ride consistently. After stopping and reviewing some vids, this one applies best to me. I think the most valuable part was the portion where you did the one foot for extended distances with light touchdowns and emphasizing the body positions.

[@actavisSL2]

Hi, how have you been liking it? I'm just checking in and wondering. My dad is 55 as well and I was wondering if you ever experienced any difficulties or got hurt bad.

[@pvmoore1154]

@Actavis I am 52 and got a really bad ankle bite so far. Get safety gear and I think it's the safest pev out there.

Other than getting really dizzy spinning in a circle, your video has been extremely helpful for me as a first timer! This is definitely the best instruction out there. Thank you for making it!

[@EUCOllective]

Thanks Richard!

[@peterbrierley2352]

This is about the best method i’ve seen for learning to ride euc. Have been teaching riders for approx 4+ yrs and this is close to how we have people up ar going usually in 20 to 30 minutes. All the older vids on learning are outdated. Thanks for posting

[@brahamyoung1951]

[@mikecast7340]

Good tips. Especially when you talk about posture. I am still in beginner mode. At age 58, I am been trying for an hour a day for about a week. I am really good at making a circle, but still need to work on foot control. I have to be more careful than most, so yea I have all the safety gear. Admittedly I look a little nerdy, but my safety is more important than trying to look glamorous. I can taste victory coming and I can't wait.

[@diowil1]

I may never scrape up the nerve to try one, but your instruction sure does make me feel that I could learn if I followed your lead. Good job.

[@xorbe2]

As a day two rider, this is one of the more interesting tutorials I've seen. Will try the techniques tomorrow.

[@abdouallahuniverse5689]

You are a good instructor, you cover all the basics in detail, understandable and easy to practice.

[@howyman3]

Did strap his one foot onto the one side? Because when I try this the wheel runs away and doesn't stay balance like skate board to do that?

[@laoway-zs2jo]

Thanks, it took me like 30 minutes to start riding the wheel after I watched this video. Very useful

[@boneyfreak9197]

I found that just relaxing and NOT looking at the ground right in front of your wheel or staring at the cycle was the biggest help. I learned that from many seasons as a ski instructor. And trying to go slow to avoid an accident is the worst thing, like a motorcycle or 2 wheel bike that is one of the hardest things to do.

[@hvguy]

In motorcycle training they teach you to look at where you wanna go. We often do this by instinct when driving a car but for some people it won't transfer into other skills such as this. We often don't even notice we're doing it 🐱

[@amdinga561]

Just wanted to come back here and say that this video was an immense help when I was learning to ride. I've been riding since May and am very comfortable now, but those first forrays are indeed difficult. Using the tips in this video I was able to ride around my block in a matter of hours instead of days. Thanks again

[@JadedBlur]

where is your protective gear?? great example !!

[@johnhaig1103]

I got myself the v8 Your video on learning was the best advice I've seen, I followed your advice for 3 days. I got it going great after I got going I went 4 mile down by the Brisbane river, unreal feeling only problem I can't turn, can you help out with some advice, I'm a bit slow being 71 but that won't stop me.

[@Bruce5166]

John Haig I’m impressed. I’m 62 and thought I would be the oldest rider I ever saw on a V8. For turning, I’d suggest getting used to tilting the wheel left or right to turn, or use your shoulders and turn them in the direction you want to go, or a little or both. I find it extremely helpful to look exactly where I want to go, even if I’m going in a straight line. Good luck!

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Great inspiration. 👍

[@arevee9429]

Yay, another older person does it. I'm 60 and was thinking this might be crazy. Well, maybe it is. The wheel arrived yesterday, so we'll see!

[@bakhirun]

Excellent pedagogy - speaking as a teacher. You also inspire confidence and a sense of logical progression in each step of learning. I've owned 50 motorcycles and maybe that many mountain bikes. Time to move on to an EUC, and avoid killing myself in doing so.

[@larryc1616]

Sounds like you're an adrenaline junkie. Some of these can go over 60mph. Amazon sells ones that go over 40mph. Sounds like pure stupidity on one wheel. I'm gonna keep this under 20 probably under 15 because we all know we will all fall many times. I can survive under 20. 🙏

[@rcgldr]

For some riders (including me), it is easier to use support to mount and launch to learn to ride first (yaw and tilt steer) before trying to free mount. Since I learned to ride first, I didn't (and still don't) one foot glide, just step and hop on like a skateboard. However, based on this and other videos, a lot of new riders do just fine with the one foot drills and step and tap method, although it seems like it would be more tiring. Another issue is for an experienced motorcycle rider (I started back in 1966, but it wasn't till 1968 that I was properly counter-steering, I'm 70 years old), where you learn that looking isn't going to turn a motorcycle, only (counter) steering inputs. To prepare for lane changes, I"m looking to the side and back while going straight, and also looking to the side for cross traffic at intersections. One of my early goals when learning to ride my V8F was to be able to move my arms and|or look around without upsetting balance or changing direction.

[@taridog]

[@ronniechowdhury3082]

The turning tip was the best piece of advice. It allowed me to totally ignore the wall grabbing part and move straight onto balance. Still haven't figured out how to stop comfortably yet.

I had someone whizz past me on this while on their phone and a latte in the other hand. It was hilarious but somehow really cool.

[@RafaelMercadoSalas]

Please confirm if you’re still alive.

[@d0nj03]

OK, wow, one thing to note about the short pushing-off movements with only one leg on the wheel: you absolutely need side-padding where your shin rests against the chassis, because that thing will not support you while you lift your other leg off the ground unless you're tilting it and leaning significant weight into it through your shin. Without padding this exercise will get painful real fast and you will not get to the phase where you can make longer and longer distances with one leg in the air.

Just got mine - my first wheel but I owned a Segway i2 for several years. I know this is different and I’m nervous, but I was once nervous about all of my e-rideables. I told myself that when deciding to get this. I always start holding something, then the next thing ya know, i don’t need to hold anything. Same with this. Day one (indoors only) and I don’t need to hold anything to get on or off. Day 2 and I’m able to roll about a foot before hopping off. My goal is to learn it by summer and right now it’s winter, so no rush.

Only had my NineBot One E+ a couple of days. Best I have done is the length of my kitchen (21ft). Which I think is good. Dent in the cooker and chairs have gone flying in all directions. but having lots of fun. Most obvious learning point - don't switch it off when you are standing on it, even if you are hanging on to everything in sight and not moving. It's an instant off.

[@EUCOllective]

Glad we could help! Thanks for watching :)

[@avinashhegde2777]

It's not too difficult but you need to invest time. To prevent damaging your EUC. I suggest you tie a thin rope to the handle, so that you don't let it crash repeatedly when you step off when you step off in the learning phase. That's going to definitely break the cover. In fact I still use the rope 3 years later.

[@joejoeMan923]

Just the video I needed. Have a Segway a mini Segway and a Onewheel, got the EuC today and this is very different. I could get started when I held onto a car. Only got to spend about 20min with this so far. Watching this Is should me get going, I got the V8

Everyone is different and gets a handle on the wheel at different times. Some take less then an hour while others take a month. It just depends on how much time you dedicate yourself to practicing and trusting the wheel.

[@DaleClark1000]

I'm waiting to the delivery of my first EUC. I have been wondering why we don't do this early practise on grass (not weed). Seems like the wheel and maybe the body are bound to do some falling, so why clatter it onto pavement?

[@EUCOllective]

You would definitely want to learn on even ground. We don't recommend learning on grass or astroturf (extra slippery!) because the unevenness of the ground can throw you off your balance. We have protective covers that would protect your wheel from damage, and these are very durable machines :)

[@BN99239]

TBH it's a good idea to eventually be able to get onto the wheel with either your left or your right foot comfortably. The reason is that sometimes you have to stop wherever you have to stop, so which ever foot is going to step off the wheel first will be on the ground, then if you need to go again, you'd be able to do so comfortably regardless of which foot is on the pedal. You won't have to try to situate yourself, hold the handle with one hand, move your dominant foot onto the pedal and move the other foot onto the ground etc. It's similar to learning how to ride a bicycle; it's fine to find your dominant foot on the pedal, but eventually you should be able to get on with either foot. It's best just to spend extra time right at the BEGINNING to get used to starting on either foot. You don't want to only be able to get on with your dominant foot.
