InMotion E20 - Teardown/Tube Change Chat

[@aninonggala4725]

Such a useful video for a beginner rider like myself who just got my E20. More of these "How to's" would be great for new users. Thanks.

[@2cells1pack]

Awesome! I plan to scale more of those "How To" videos over the coming year.

[@JonahOnEUC]

I just love how the enthusiasm for this wheel pours out of Christine! ;-)

[@2cells1pack]

Haha

[@AJames-jr8kw]

Great video. As usual. What struck me was IM continues with double layer plastic shells. I guess it works with cosmetics and durability but makes disassembly twice as complicated.

[@2cells1pack]

this is a design choice in order to reduce costs. The goal is to have this device be under $500 USD I believe. At this price point, it’ll welcome a lot of new riders since it’s not too much of a financial investment

[@A-Viking]

Big fan of entry level EUC, this Inmotion E20 wheel is possibly a super candidate for breaking the much complained about steep lerning-curve for getting into the hobby/sport 🤞

[@2cells1pack]

Exactly! It had a really solid purpose

[@sazzowl_gaming8203]

Well it technically isn't an EUC because it has 2 tires

[@A-Viking]

@@sazzowl_gaming8203 yeah like a extra training wheel ..also only One Rim to rule the all (both) :D

[@MrSpeedyduck]

InMotion really love placing a lot of screws on their unit.

[@2cells1pack]

the goal of this was cheap, so I think its fine.

[@rogerunderhill4267]

It’s easy to put air in the tyres too. Nice. I tried one at the Shanghai expo. It definitely has a place and, as you rightly point out, as a beginners wheel. I think this may do more for bringing new riders to the community than any other wheel! Great teardown and insightful commentary. Thanks a lot!😊

[@2cells1pack]

Exactly!!!!! Easy to learn and super cheap! Those are the two design goals

[@360vroomers]

Maybe Inmotion should have just used solid rubber tires to avoid flats.

[@2cells1pack]

I was thinking the same thing

[@a.nevillechamberlain7612]

Glad the flat happened so that we get the tear Down, and tube replacement, and found your channel, and I subscribed, things happen for a reason. Good job with the entire process. We need more content creators like you guys

[@2cells1pack]

Thanks for the sub!

[@dirt.surfer]

I may buy one of these to teach with

[@2cells1pack]

Super useful for spreading the EUC gospel

[@grb1969]

{ tl;dr … comment for the algorithm} I love the attention that entry-level wheels are getting from the EUC company’s budgets. Entry-level wheels should almost be subsidized (as a strategic plan) to accelerate new rider conversion. There’s just one design feature that I’m disappointed not to see on the E20. The design of the rim/shell interface should be sized so that when the new rider masters the dual wheel configuration, they could easily fit a single wider/taller wheel across the full width of the rim, thereby improving and extending the value proposition further. There are several different design options but the cheapest wouldn’t cost anything, except for shell redesign issues. Interesting (probably to me only) but I have thought about several advanced design approaches for dual-wheels on independent suspension (if cost were no object) and it’s got tons of future potential once EUC sales exceed motorcycle sales (guessing: 10-15 years timeframe) {I still can’t find inner tubes for the original dual-wheel design… (I’ve got 2 of those) but it’s very frustrating that it used what appears to be proprietary inner tubes that are now unavailable.} Version 2 of this E20 model might want to slightly modify the two inner rim beads to be symmetrical in profile. This simple change would allow the user to add a higher pressure tube centered on the rim, while a larger low-pressure tire envelopes the entire span of the rim. This configuration allows very low pressure riding, which is extremely useful for both new and experienced riders. New riders can transition to a mono-wheel more comfortably with less chance of rim damage. And, experienced riders can ride sand/mud and snow more safely. MX riders use lower tire pressures with higher pressure rim-liner tubes. If anyone’s interested, here’s how to MX people do it: Tubliss.com

[@2cells1pack]

Interesting ideas

[@Corn8Bit]

Upvoted for informing me about tubliss, but otherwise I think you're way overthinking this. It's meant to be a cheap af option for absolute beginners and learners. It's not powerful. There's no way more than 1% of buyers would be interested in upgrading the wheel instead of buying a proper wheel. This thing is $500. Just buy it, learn on it, and sell it.

[@grb1969]

@@Corn8Bit i completely agree that I’m overthinking it but let me know if you go ‘tubliss’. I believe that the smallest size they produce for MX is 20”. Good luck

[@CapitalWheeler]

Yes, I've been riding for two months and I still get low speed jitters.

[@2cells1pack]

It’s good for gaining confidence

[@TheCobaltsaber]

Dissapointed by the clip on plastic shell design like the old V5/8/10. You would think they could modernize the design a bit for a 2024 wheel. I absolutely hated taking apart the v5/8/10 series. The market needs a refresh of their old beginner friendly wheel lineup badly, but with the design philosophy of the newer wheels such as the mten4, s16 or falcon. Being a super beginner friendly kids wheel forgives this design a little though

[@Corn8Bit]

Yeah this is a toy learner wheel. A falcon/s16 are serious small wheels, with 3 or 4 times the pricetag.

[@2cells1pack]

Yes, and bringing the price point down was a main design consideration. < $500 retail

[@Mikenopolis]

How would you change the other wheel on the opposing side? flip it over and remover the other side of the housing? Also, I wonder how the transition from this E20 to a proper EUC would be.

[@2cells1pack]

You can pull the tube through the same direction.

[@bookmark2846]

Which one would be a better trainer EUC for newbies, the IM E20 or the KS S9 basketball? That would make an interesting comparison video.

[@ryangross5446]

E20 for sure, Probably 5 times easier to ride than the s9, even if it was just one tire. the size and shape of the E20 seems much more beginner friendly to me

[@2cells1pack]

E20 without a doubt

[@ReviewThisTestThat]

Can you put s tire in the middle grove?

[@2cells1pack]

No, I don't think so.

[@gustavoperez7709]

How could I modify an euc like this where would I start ? Motor ? Or controller I want to have a sleeper euc

[@AJames-jr8kw]

Would be easier to slip the outer shell over a Falcon or mten5. It may fit.

[@rsbcnhbz]

Instead of two tires, why didn't they have one fatter tire? Or a wider tire.

[@2cells1pack]

Wider tire isn't as easy as 2 tires to learn.

[@BobJohnson-xg9ng]

Was 35 psi a good tire pressure?

[@2cells1pack]

I actually pumped it up to 50psi and haven't had issues so far.

[@crazyeyepev9456]

the E20s top speed is 12.5 mph .... i rode the beeps and hit 13.2 mph i know .... i know .... im a speed demon HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@RameshBaburbabu]

[13:13] Min 35 and Max : 85 psi

[@2cells1pack]

:)

[@KevinRedmondWA]

This thing is real!? I thought it was an April fools joke …

[@2cells1pack]

100% real!

[@KevinRedmondWA]

@@2cells1pack 😂😂😂 good for InMotion. They should play to their strengths, which is beginner wheels.

[@Sjrick]

Inmotion makes really bad tires. I would upgrade both the tubes and tires first. I would never buy another inmotion product again.

[@2cells1pack]

I've found them to be alright. It was a staple that punctured the tube.

[@Sjrick]

@@2cells1pack exactly!! A staple. lol. I lined my tires with gaffers tape and used powder.

[@jc84com]

Seems like a dealership / shop learning wheel that you graduate from really fast after 1 day.

[@2cells1pack]

Yes it is. Maybe even graduate in 15 mins.

[@2cells1pack]

helps people build confidence. definitely not for EUC riders.
