I like that it seems like a true successor to the 3, but everything seems to be designed to show off the tire now. I guess it saves on replacement plastic shells if there isn't one anymore to begin with.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, the minimalist design is superb for durability, IMO.

[@TheAnimeist]

10:17 "Let's see a onewheel do that". The Float Life just demonstrated a VESC onewheel that easily outclimbs any Future Motion wheel. The tilt angle can also be adjusted with a hand held remote. This hill may just be possible today on a onewheel.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Wouldn't the footpad length on the Onewheel prevent it from climbing an extended super steep hill?

[@TheAnimeist]

@@ElectricUnicycles There are some VESC models out now that allow you to vary the tilt angle with a hand held remote. It's custom and specialized, however it's out there, and that hill may be doable. The Float Life and Wren have both been playing with a versions that have the tilt. TFL the other day climbed a couple of hills from dead stops, that would be impossible with models without a VESC. There's a Chinese firm building a Floatwheel, that is 5 HP, based on the VESC. Futute Motion will slowly fade from the race events.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@TheAnimeist VESC has potential for sure even for EUC's

[@CrunchyTire]

Mten went from being a kid toy to a "best wheel" with a simple face-lift. Community is silly sometimes. Love my mten though and that kids toy made me a better rider

[@kutvis]

Points to Roger for being a hero :D Thank you for the video!

[@marioqzd8]

I got to get me one! That's a cool looking wheel. 😎👍

[@360vroomers]

Hi Marty. If mten4 rides like mten3, is there any reason to get it if you already have mten3? Also, does it have a kill switch?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I don't think so unless you want the latest and greatest. It still feels very much like the Mten3. I will say that mounting this new version is more natural because the body is square (doesn't taper towards the top like the Mten3) and that's a plus. And since there is much less shell there is less shell to get in the way (the Mten3 would never be able to climb that hill at the end of the video because the shell would get in the way). So it might depend on how you play with the Mten3/4 When I get my personal copy and ride it more extensively I might have a different opinion. It does not have a kill switch (like that later versions of the Mten3).

[@360vroomers]

@@ElectricUnicycles thanks Marty!

Fantatic! I so don't need one, but I'm so tempted.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Nobody "needs" one but everyone should have one

[@doctorpd1959]

Ewheels have the option of getting the original off-road tire or to get the street tire. Hypothetically speaking, if you were to order from Ewheels, which tire option would you get Marty? Of course you only have ridden the off-road tire, but since you already know how it feels, would you stick with the off-road tire or would you venture into getting the street tire for the Mten4?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Since this off-road tire feels just as responsive as the street tire on my two Mten3's I will be sticking with the off-road tire because I believe it offers more options when leaving the pavement. Looks cool too.

[@Electrum]

that hill climb sold it for me

[@chulschuls8282]

oh my god MTEN4 review thank you i love you

[@harrrive]

Looks amazing, my only two concerns are waterproofing and the lack of a trolley handle. Would you address these two things when you receive yours? Thanks Marty

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The weather sealing looks decent and if you really wanted to ride in the rain a small shower cap would be all you need. The missing trolley handle is an inconvenience but it's so small and light, I'll throw it in my shopping cart when I go to the store.

[@zogly9469]

I want to try and find someone willing to teach me/let me experiment a bit to see if this hobby is for me, but assuming all goes well, this may end up being my first EUC. Thanks for the first look.

[@zogly9469]

Update: I went with a V12 HT and taught myself. Getting better every day and having a lot of fun. Also found out there is someone close by that I might be able to ride with soon.

[@curtflirt2]

I just want it!

[@DarthEUC]

wow..... ... NEED 1 IN MY LIFE

[@leetNightshade]

Noob question, would you use tire slime in a tubeless tire? I imagine it /could maybe/ work.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes. There is a version of Slime specifically made for tubeless. Tubeless tires already come with a sealant so I would only add Slime if you have a flat that isn't fixed with the sealant that comes with the Mten4

[@Hunter_Heart]

When you did something iffy, never give into pears pressure for the second go. lol

[@HungrySpinz]

Who would have thought that the most interesting wheel on the market rn would be a small wheel? The headlight looks good but it doesn't really look like it gives any light?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The headlight seemed decent (given the speeds that you would ride the wheel). But I'd have to experiment more at night.

[@dlmiller7873]

It looks cool.

[@Zoraffi]

Which would you buy as an only wheel, Mcm5 v2 or mten4 (or something else)?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

This is an extremely difficult question to ask without knowing a lot about you. There's a vast price range with wheels with a corresponding range in capabilities. Regarding the Mten4, it's actually more of an advanced wheel then one might think and probably not the best "only" wheel to own. I would suggesting visiting forum.electricunicycle.org for a wealth of information on wheels with suggestions on how to begin. Good luck.

[@Zoraffi]

@@ElectricUnicycles thank you very much!

[@xorbe2]

Only wheel, neither one. MCM5v3 the pedals don't fold up nicely and the handle is thin. MTen is just small. Nothing has displaced my Telsa as my opinion of a casual only-wheel if you aren't riding 20 miles at a time.

[@QuachMD]

How would the MTEN4 work for a 1st EUC to learn on? The thought of a super small EUC is just intriguing to me.

[@xorbe2]

MTen is absolutely a super cool wheel to mess around on, BUT because it's short, it's going to torque massively against your lower legs while you are learning ... it may be easier to learn on a lighter weight 16" wheel

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's not the ideal wheel but is much better to learn on than the Mten3 due to the better shell shape of the Mten4. If the tire pressure is lowered during the learning period it can help greatly. I have known people who learned how to ride on the Mten3 so it's totally doable. That all being said, the Mten class of wheels is specialty and you will certainly want a mainstream wheel eventually.

[@QuachMD]

@@ElectricUnicycles Thanks for the input! I eventually want to buy a Veteran Sherman, but I hear that's definitely not one to learn on. At most, I can't see myself justifying having more than 2 EUCs, so I figure having two at the opposite ends of the spectrum would make sense.

[@唐人街快车]

Eevee's is 250 more on the price roughly, I can wait for AlienRides to get thier stock in. It is a very provocative little unit for sure. 8)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Really, in US dollars? I highly doubt that

[@唐人街快车]

@@ElectricUnicycles Canada is always more in USD. My friend in canada is always complaining how the US gets better deals.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@唐人街快车 I was curious. Shopping around the US and Canada, looks like eevee's price is ~$100 more than US. More but much less than your $250 number. eevee's will have the Mten4 this month. I'm seeing other dealers listing November. So if you want it NOW, maybe the higher price will be worth it for some people. eevee's will be entering the US market in full force soon. They'll have to lower their prices to be competitive which they probably will.

[@唐人街快车]

@@ElectricUnicycles If they offer free shipping maybe, Also don't forget the customs process, items could get tied up in shipping. The Mten4 is cute but I don't think the gotta have it now factor is a selling point. As an upgrade from the Mten3 design then absolutly and for sure with reviewers wanting to be first on the block. The Master Pro and the V13 have my eye as a gotta have it now ship it from china air overnight... hahaha 😁

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@唐人街快车 BTW, for some reason received goods into the United States never seems to involve customs. I hear lots of bad stories for stuff going into other countries but I've never been charged custom fees for EUC's or other items that I've bought externally. My perspective anyway. In general I agree with you on the other points.

[@sknipey]

How is it to ride and control with it sitting a lot lower down on the leg in comparison to the majority of other wheels? I feel like having less of a contact surface against the leg will be a disadvantage… thanks in advance

[@ElectricUnicycles]

From the amount that I rode it, my legs were not bothered. Never bothered on the Mten3 either.

[@sknipey]

@@ElectricUnicycles thanks for the feedback. Really loving the look and price point of this wheel 👌🏻

[@olgac9121]

Hello dear Marty. I have a concern: I want to buy the Tesla V3 because I have the V2 but I need more battery. He has told me that the Tesla V3 is going to be discontinued, and that parts will be hard to come by in the future. For example, the board could be damaged and not get. I want to ask you for advice: I buy the V3 and I keep the V2 too? Do you know if V2 and V3 share the same board? Thanks for ALWAYS responding. From Medellin Colombia

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I don't know if V2 and V3 use the same board but they probably don't. Older wheels will always be harder to get replacement parts. Then again, most of the ~28-wheels that I've own never needed parts.

[@doctorpd1959]

Marty, do you know how tall is Roger ( or base on your height, the estimation of his height)? The reason I ask is because he was able to squat down and sit on the mten4 without much difficulty.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I would guestimate that Roger is 5'-9" - 5'10" I'm 5'-11". I don't think the Mten4 would ever be a comfortable wheel to actually ride seated unless you were a child.

[@DarthEUC]

I ORDERED 1 !!!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You'll get yours before me. Congrat's!

[@olgac9121]

Dear Marty, thanks for the video. I had an Mten3, I sold it because it was uncomfortable. Let me explain: The start of the Mten3, only the start is uncomfortable because it is necessary to mount the other foot very quickly. The shell size is too small to comfortably walk on one foot for a few meters. You understand me? You have to twist your body in an almost ugly way. The snatch is not "fancy" like all other wheels. So stopping and staring is not pleasant at all. I ask you: is the Mten 4 more comfortable to start and stop than the Mten3? Another thing: 4 is as nervous as 3? I send you a hug from Medellin, Colombia

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The Mten4 does not seem to suffer from that problem. The Mten3 has curved shell that is more narrow at the top, making it more difficult to mount as you describe. The Mten4 has a square shell so you mount it like any other wheel. Yes, the Mten4 is "nervous" like the Mten3 :-)

[@olgac9121]

@@ElectricUnicycles Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I think all wheels under 16" are nervous. It is unavoidable

does this have a possibility to lower the speed limit to maybe 25-30kmh?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, you can set the tilt-back to lower speeds

[@laurv8370]

he came way too fast on second and third attempts, this wheel is small, so it has no inertia and you have to carry it with you over obstacles, which you can not do when climbing, but on the other hand (or feet?) the small diameter means that the wheel has a lot of torque, you can climb that hill very slowly, without any problem. Edit: Also, as he found out, you have to put your feet back, otherwise the tip of the feet touch the ground and you fall.

How fat of a guy will the Mten4 handle? All of the spec sheets seem to leave off the weight limit. Mten3 was 200 lbs. Hoping that with the more power and better axle that it will be 120 kg. Thanks for the video.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I play around on the Mten3 when all my gear on and I'm at 195-pounds. I'm sure you'd be fine. The axles on these wheels are plenty strong unless you are jumping, but why would you be doing hard jumping on an Mten3/4? :-)

[@doctorpd1959]

If you already have the mten3 (512 wh), would you also buy the mten4 or is it a waste to do so?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Well, only you can answer that question :-) I have two Mten3's and am buying the Mten4. The Mten4 has a stronger motor (1000-watts vs 800-watts), a bigger battery, and a better tire with better shell clearance, better pedal clearance, etc. If you only want one, sell the Mten3 and pickup the 4. It's a worthy upgrade IMHO.

[@1floatwheel]

Nah, if anything I might change the tire like mten4 which I believe alienrides sell. It looks beefy and offroad worthy so I might give that a shot.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

More powerful moto, bigger battery. Not insignificant upgrades. The shell on the Mten3 is tight - I have my doubts that this tire would fit. But go for it.

[@1floatwheel]

Warning to potential buyers: I purchased the Mten4 unicycle and was disappointed by its poor manufacturing quality. The transparent cover came with permanent stains resembling glue, which could only be resolved by replacing it. Disassembly is required for such a fix.

I would not recommend purchasing this product due to the lack of quality control and customer support.
