Gotway Mten3 Trolley Handle Installation

I install the Gotway trolley handle on my 67-volt Mten3 and demonstrate its use.
According to EWheels, the install kit now comes with properly sized washers. No grinding necessary :-)

I buy most of my wheels from EWheels. Why? Because of their selection, price, and perhaps most importantly, Jason's dedication to customer satisfaction and his ongoing support of the community.

Just picked up an MTen3 for my daughter on a great local deal. She asked if it was possible to get a trolley handle since it’s still a little heavy for her to carry around. Installation looks pretty easy! I’ll have to pick up one of these. Thanks for the video!

[@euc_sharkman]

Just popped on to say I finally got a handle from eWheels, and it installed great! No washers included, but the bolts went into the pedals just fine. They included zip ties to secure the trolley to the MTen3 handle, but I used Velcro straps instead in case I wanted to remove it easily in the future. My daughter loves that it doubles as a stand by lying it on the back. All in all, great purchase!

@@euc_sharkman ordered the kit from AliExpress and came exactly like you describe, just got it delivered today

Just got my trolley from ewheels. Gave a shout out on there comments box. hope they throw you some love.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks :-)

So I finally got my Mten 3 and the trolley handle from a shop in France, that ordered it from China. So waited a few months to receive it. The Mten 3 seem okay, the handle missing two pop rivets and buckled but functional. Got a 40% refund for the handle so I have the money to buy a blind rivet tool and pop rivets, so I’m good. Will be going to the stores tomorrow, then install. Still painful back, but will try to ride, hopefully possible by now.

Marty, the way I managed the top assembly was by getting a 1/8” threaded SS from Home Depot. I next bent this rod forming so a U shape that wrapped cleanly around the EUC top handle penetrating through the two trolly handle’s holes and tightened up with two butterfly nuts on the outer side. I then capped off finished with two vinyl caps. Looks professional and will not fatigue any time soon. I wish I could send you a photo so you can see how tight and neat looks.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I've seen that done too. Nice. For me, it was easier to use the cord and dowel.

[@joemedic710]

Great vid!

[@charleyl264]

Just a suggestion - If you tie a small loop in one end of the paracord and then thread the other end through the loop, you can cinch it up really tight and then tie off this loose end without needing the dowel for a tightener.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

"cinching" is not always the easiest to do. With my dowel tensioner I'm certain it's much tighter than possible otherwise. But thanks for the suggestion.

[@OnAirPromo]

HA! I did mine incorrectly...I didn't use the washers because they were too big and just screwed it together. See? I have the mechanical aptitude of a tree sloth. Back to the bench (dining room table) eventually. No more for me this month! Thanks for the tips! :)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

LOL

[@Damarcos29]

Any way to get around the constant loosening of the screws from opening the pedals?

[@cosmicsloth246]

I'd love to paint my Mten3 the same color as your red one. What product did you use and how did you paint it? Thanks!

[@mikecane]

Can it be trolleyed with the Mten3 turned off? Like, dragged behind you?

[@fungwong7797]

Great vid! About the red mten3, how do u paint the side pad?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Pads are painted just like the sides (same paint). I used RUST-OLEAM 2X Ultra. The pads get flat paint and I chose black. Spray two coats and you're good.

[@jackvolta3489]

Nice Marty like the way you used that paracord & that tension rod to secure the trolly handle to the handle of your Mten 3 its great to see innovation at work. 😜👍 Got to ask Marty is it called an Mten-3 cuz there was a Mten 2 or 1?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Of course, there were two previous versions of the Mten.

[@jackvolta3489]

@@ElectricUnicycles I had no idea Marty that's why I asked. Thank you 😜👍✌

[@noformstyle]

@@ElectricUnicycles May I know what is the final official trolley handle height to the ground? Thanks !

[@TroyArn]

love your channel. what do you think about the mten3 now? is it reliable?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks. The Mten3 has proven to be a very reliable wheel, in production for 5-years now. Still highly recommend

[@TroyArn]

@@ElectricUnicycles thank you

[@fab6845]

Hey Marty love the paint job on your mten3. I want to paint mine but don't want to take it apart any suggestions gladly appreciate

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Absolutely doable without taking it apart. I've painted a couple of wheels like that. With the Mten3 you'll just need to snap off the two center pieces, remove the pads, and remove the pedals. Then it's just a bunch of careful masking.

[@fab6845]

Thanks Marty appreciate it

[@yaboi8509]

Is this reason I can't find any used ones for sale because everyone just loves them too much? lol

[@dennypaul1969]

Does the handle interfere at all with hard braking? Ever feel like it’s in the way?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You don't even know that the handle is there.

[@aenoipomephimkham5207]

Hey Marty...Getting major tilt back/tilt forward issues suddenly...Mten3 84V 512Wh version, 120miles, using DarknessBot...any ideas...?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I've never heard of this happening. You've tried calibrating the wheel and that had no affect?

[@aenoipomephimkham5207]

ElectricUnicycles Yes...strangest thing. Starts almost as soon as acceleration starts. Suspect it could be the app.

[@noshnibbles9003]

I am 53 and I subscribed. I am an electric skateboard and electric scooter and I have always wanted my very first wheel. I dream about cruising on something like that in NYC where I live. What do you suggest?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

There is a vibrant NYC community of Electric Unicycle riders. May I suggest that you join forum.electricunicycle.org/ for more information and help, including connecting with some local riders.

[@Jhovan33]

A more clever design would have that handle go down to the ground to serve as a better stand. Then you have both features.

[@benha3187]

Bump to Jordans comment what color is that red mten3 @Marty?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Candy Apple Red - RUST OLEUM 2X Ultra

[@benha3187]

@@ElectricUnicycles did you first spray the wheel with a primer? Is that needed? My wheel is already black 😅

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@benha3187 I've painted three wheels. I don't use a primer. Just clean the shell and prep the shell by wiping it down with something like a lacquer thinner which dulls the surface.

[@benha3187]

@@ElectricUnicycles thank you so much for you replies! It's my first time trying something like this so I appreciate your patience in your answers. Any other tips that you could think of?

[@benha3187]

What about how long between coats and how many coats? How far should you be away from the shell when spraying? Do you also paint the inside in the wheel or just the outside?
