I Put This Surprising Inmotion v12 Extreme Mini Half E-Bike to the ULTIMATE Off-Road Test (BRUTAL!)

[@GiffysChannel]

Let's take a moment to appreciate that there are places out there where you don't have to worry about bringing water on you and you can just expect to come across delicious and clean water to drink. It's so easy to take access to drinking water for granted. You live in a beautiful place man.

[@souperdooperman]

Nice, thanks for this! This is how I always ride my V8 and immediately preordered the V12 when it was announced as my upgrade but have been a little hesitant on weather I should get a bigger wheel after hearing complaints from some like Zen. But I def love the agility of the smaller wheels, thanks for giving me more confidence in my choice!

[@nsblite1]

Ya I’m a V8f rider and the v12 is going to be my choice for sure…you cant beat that inmotion quality

[@thecaptainandthewheel8506]

A couple of more weeks till the arrival of my RS HT special ewheels addition. And agreed on the workout. I can't do traditional work outs because of a hiatle hernia Nd bashed up tailbone from years of boarding , thought I was screw. But no, thank you EUC for keeping my core strong and tight...

Man this could take backpacking to a whoooole new level!

Awesome video and content, Chooch Man! I traveled out to Denver recently for a couple days for the very first time. I thought the area was beautiful then and now I see it on your personal level...amazing! Thank you for the detailed information on the V12. For safety in an EUC I was originally looking at the Ninebot Z10 due to Segway's quality. Due to it's rarity now, I moved my interest over to InMotion's V11 & V12! After researching my use and concerns about off roading or trail riding, I was leaning towards the V11, but after several of your video's and your use on the V12, I'm probably getting the V12 for my first EUC!!! Thanks man!

I've seen both a bear cub and a mountain lion this year - I just try to give them a wide berth. the bear cub wasn't great, because I never saw mom, which means she could of been anywhere - so I got the heck out asap Mountain lion really surprised me - flip'n enormous. I did some research and discovered mountain lion attacks are exceedingly rare. I did turn around, and rode elsewhere. No need to look over my shoulder the rest of that ride

Chooch, love the vids, love your style. In a few vids, I hear you recommend (as a starter EUC) the Kingsong 16 but I can’t hear if you say S or X. Plz clarify for me, I’d appreciate it.

[@Auld_Moaner]

I'm sure he said "16s" great starter wheel 👍

Very cool offroad session 👍🔥. Does your power pads are DIY ? I'm looking for pads for my Z10, but they are almost top big for the Z10🙄

[@seattleraf]

I heard that braking on the v12 is underwhelming. Thoughts? Maybe more important for city riding emergency braking. But that’s turning me off right now. I have a 16s currently.

I know you push it hard when you are alone on trails, I am mostly interested for city ride and I've heard that it has weak braking. What is your impression on braking?

[@choochtech]

x small/ small if I'm wearing shorts I criss cross the bottom two-straps to make it tighter. and it's great. It's weird at first but you can make this thing skid tire and almost stop instantly if you ever needed to.

[@skillDad6536]

[@justinspirational]

Why this over the rs high torque (which I have on order but can still change to the V12) for the best off roading and hill climbing? I'm in SoCal so don't have issues with riding in water/rain not requiring the best waterproofing and think the 19" RS wheel and torque is more stable and higher torqued as well as a bit lighter and still nimble compared to bigger wheels..(I'm 6'3/200 pounds and this will be my first euc coming from onewheels)

[@igorgoga7985]

i have an RS- open it and see how cables all laid out

[@souperdooperman]

Im on the opposite end, have a V12 preordered and have been curious about the rs torque. My big thing is Inmotion’s build quality. I’ve had an Inmotion V8 for the last three years and tend to ride trails like Chooch here, so the thing has seen all sorts of abuse. It’s been cracked and have had tires replaced several times and looks like Frankenstein’s monster but aside from those basic and cosmetic things it has never failed me. I enjoy the agility of the small wheel too but having a bigger wheel is what keeps me on the fence of getting that RS torque or an EXN though. Just wish they had better build quality.

[@justinspirational]

@@igorgoga7985 I'll be getting the new improved version with improved bearings, higher pedals, the lcd screen, better battery and wire management, better protection for internal components and possibly better sealing from water and dust other than around where the trolley handle is opened much like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2i2noKsjZd9jq8 plus the dealer here in the US I'm getting it from (ewheels) is removing all batteries from all Gotway wheels and replacing with their own safer (from fires) improved batteries

[@justinspirational]

@@souperdooperman see my previous comment re the build quality and improvements with the latest version of the RS plus the RS torque will definitely be better at hill climbing and higher torque and acceleration and the thing that's off putting with the V12 is that you can't turn off the tilt back (which you can with gotways) so the reality is it will be near impossible to get to the on paper top speed that the V12 is supposed to be able to get to and so in reality you'll be able to go as fast or faster with the RS.. The bigger wheel will be more stable but less nimble than the V12 but certainly one of the most nimble off road wheels that most of the pros ride. Ido like the innovative features and LCD and kickstand of the V12 and will be better on street and a better all round wheel but I'll be riding 60-70% trails off road with steep hills and some technical

Dunno. What's the difference between ks16x and this?) 200Wh and 20 kmph potentially? Ks much more convenient, little bit lighter and have same performance "off-road". Sounds more like marketing. But anyway, it's good that inmotion creates new wheels, and entire industry going forward. Concurrency is good for us, customers. But, still, nothing ground breaking here.

Man, I'd love to ride on trails like these! The ones around me are waayyy too rocky, rooty and muddy. I tried to ride them with my little MCM5v2, but when you're on soft ground and encounter a root, it the nastiest curb that seemingly grabs your wheel even if you anticipate it.

These are the thin clark pads, made so you canflare your legs around the power part easier for all the bumps of a trail. With full locked in pads on some trails it can be awkward when you hit a bump and your leg spikes into the power pad. Very, unique type of riding these are for
