Nice video bro! I’m happy with my preorder of v11 though. Ks s18 seems nice too.

V11 is more of a general purpose wheel I think, and that extra 400wh of battery would probably had made it so I didn’t have to charge at all during my travel for this trip.

[@kenspaceman3938]

What a nice summer excursion on the euc!👍 Just wondering, whenever you stop for a break, will there be a bunch of curious people asking a lot of questions? And how and where do you park your wheel on the boat or in a town or elsewhere? Do you have some kind of stand with you in your backpack? Happy New Year to you!

[@OWGAC]

No I think everyone was pretty focused on enjoying their holidays so I didn't really get that much questions; also there's a sizeable EUC group in Boston so I think people are use to seeing them. As to the stops, nope, since this was the demo wheel I wasn't particularly gentle with it, just toss it in the corner and let it lay on its side. and to KS' credit its been working trouble free so far!

[@bkanegson]

Nice travelogue! Hope to hear more analysis of the V-11 incident. Whether some aspect of the wheel may have contributed. While V-11 and S18 are very different, which would you have preferred to take for this exact trip in the end? (Some day, one or the other of these two wheels will likely be my step up/ 2nd one.) This trip is a good test, including urban, suburban roads and off road, last mile transport, to pick one for all around use. Almost gave up on V-11 after the accident - but others seem to love it. So interested in more feedback about that. Great stuff, helpful, thanks!

[@OWGAC]

I still personally leans towards a freak tire defect causing the accident as that was the most unusual thing about the crash. I had originally planned on making this trip with the V11 since the larger battery and better head light would both had been good for the trip. I wouldn’t think of my own crash as a deterrent to getting the v11 since I don’t think any part of the wheel design cause it.

[@CaioKellermann]

Dreaming of traveling with my EUC! I think Next year I'll be able to do a nice trip integrating trains and EUC rides :)

[@PaulA-pm3gx]

Great vid, really enjoyed watching it. The very short range of the S18 is a big disappointment though. Comments from Future Mobile Rides and Duf noticing that the shock doesn't seem to be moving when the wheel is travelling over bumps, footage around the 10.00 mark. And the observations of the S18 in Mister Elwood's video is a bit worrying. Look forward to the next vid, thanks.

[@OWGAC]

Thank you! Thinking back it’s likely because that I had not adjusted the shock to accomodate the additional 30lbs of gears I was carrying and so the shock was not dampening the ride properly. Yes the battery capacity on this wheel is the major bummer but I did buy a 5 amp charger after the trip so hopefully that’ll help make the wait less annoying.

[@paulgreenlee7123]

I never roll without wrist protection

[@aceuni-rider6921]

Paul Greenlee Wonderful

[@OWGAC]

Agreed, a very good idea!!

[@supercurioTube]

Nice vlog @Hsiang! The suspension seem to be disabled during the whole trip as the footage seem to be showing no travel at all, on either bumps or vibrations. Did you ride it locked intentionally, was the pressure so high it's not visible at all or are some parts seized as on some other wheels? Or maybe I'm missing something.

[@OWGAC]

I forgot to tune it to accomodate the additional weight of my gears and the backpack.. thankfully it wasn’t too rough of a ride so it still provided enough cushioning.

Reviving ! as long as i have time charging does not bother me either. can admire the view^^ the trip looked nice. what would you add to the s18?

[@OWGAC]

I love to figure out how to make a more comfortable seat, as I find my self sitting on it pretty frequently, also if I were to make this kind of trip more often I’d def buy a 5amp charger.

[@DIVA-MC-7]

@@OWGAC fast charger sound really the best choice. As for the seat hmm... GOOD LUCK 🤣🤣 I don't see how a seat of any kind could fit on this, the person that will design it is gonna be rich 👌😅

@@DIVA-MC-7 you can make your own seats and add military Velcro tape so you can take it on and off when you need.

[@SwitchUpYt]

New EUC rider. I'm getting massive foot pump - any advice!?

[@danh8245]

What wheel did you get ? :D the tyre usually tells you what pressure is max, just drop it a bit til it feels comfortable / grippy

[@danh8245]

oh and literally any pump with a guage will be fine for the tyres. unless massive foot pump is autocorrect for foot cramp, in which case just ride more and stop being a pussy til' your body gets used to it :)

[@OWGAC]

With more practice it’ll get better. Riding an euc uses a lot of little muscles that you don’t use walking and running, once you build those up your movement will become more efficient and the cramps would go away. But try shifting your weight and alternate between your foot, and lifting your heels.

[@SwitchUpYt]

@@OWGAC cheers mate, yeah that's good it's already way better than it was.

[@rudypospisil4094]

Has your helmet been properly tested for EUC crashes? Will it protect an EUC rider when face planting? Sure, it looks cool and leaves your face open for the video but I think that it's best suited for glancing slalom poles off one's face while downhill skiing. Do you think that it's a good helmet for EUCing?

[@OWGAC]

No it wont protect as well as a full face, and I choose it mostly out of it allowing better traffic awareness than a full face, its less restrictive so I can easily turn my head to look behind me, which i do constantly. Ride safety needs to be a cohesive strategy based on your environment and your own ride style and experience.

About to pull the trigger on my first EUC. Torn between the S18 and Sherman. Only thing I’m worried about with the S18 is I hear bearings being an issue and maybe the Sherman might be too heavy/powerful for my first ones. Any recommendations?

[@OWGAC]

Unlike most other modes of transport riding an euc at speed requires a lot more skill, since you need to be absolutely solid on your control of the wheel and be able to deal with things like wheel wobbles since speed magnify any issues. Speed above 30mph, which is where sherman has the advantage over the s18 is INSANELY FAST and dangerous, not knowing your background I would think that the s18 is a better choice especially for someone new.

[@thelordsauron]

@@OWGAC thanks so much for the reply good Sir, I appreciate your perspective and all your content you’ve put out for us! I ended up deciding to put a deposit on a Sherman and practice on a used Gotway ACM until then. I figured for me, having a background in motorcycles, dirt bikes, and OneWheels over the years I’d be quick to pick up on it. I know it’s a beast so I plan on taking it super slow starting out. I’d rather grow into something over time that I will love for years to come rather than outgrow something smaller/less powerful and want an upgrade from in just a couple of months. I was also worried about the build quality with the S18 after watching a number of reviews on it and other hollow wheels. It seems like the Sherman will be a better investment in the long run.

[@micahsell1]

Please help, I can't make a decision on my first EUC. I'm torn between the S18, V11, and the ks16x. I don't care too much about speed, as long as it can go 25-30mph. I'm leaning more towards the V11 but I'm worried about the durability of it. I really like the idea of suspension, but I'm thinking that I may want to wait until they make more improvements. What do you think?

[@OWGAC]

Like all tech newer and better things are always on the horizon, if your starting out the best thing is actually getting a used last gen wheel so you can figure out what your riding style is. So maybe a 16x or even a mcm?

[@1floatwheel]

I'm kind of worried about my S18 purchase now after watching your video. Your shock seem to have the same problem as one of the new youtuber's S18. It seems to be stuck or very hard and not moving very much. Did you remove all the blocks? Is there something wrong w/ your shock? What are your thoughts on this suspension after traveling almost 80 miles in one round trip?

[@Duf]

I just noticed same thing, he was riding on flat road and shock was jutting out full time like it does when it is absorbing bumps. When the shock is not working it and the suspension would normally be tucked inside the shell much more. The only explanation I would have is the shock had either no or very little air pressure in it.

[@1floatwheel]

@@Duf I'm wondering if he took out those blocks that were supposed to be on both sides? I have no F'n idea why KS didn't take them out themselves from the factory and are asking customers to take those out. I guess if the air goes out of one chamber it would do that also. I'm very concerned after watching the latest 'wrong way' review of the S18.

[@Duf]

@@1floatwheel Those blocks were only in production wheels, Hsiang still has the pre-production wheel that doesn't have those blocks as far as I know. Something is definitely up there. I saw Wrong Ways review, it was a bit stiff I think. I am still very excited to be getting my production S18 within the next couple weeks, but I will be checking a number of things once I get it, for sure.

[@1floatwheel]

@@Duf out of all the S18 videos I watched, Chooch seemed to have dialed it right. When he jumps or goes over bumps, you can see the shock traveling nicely, almost bouncy too. So is Kuji's S18 video. But lately, all the production S18 videos I see shows these shocks not traveling much at all. Maybe because they are newbies and didn't quite know how to set up the shock...idk. It can't be that difficult. They are looking at the chart and putting in the recommended air pressure. The last thing I expected was Hsiang's S18 doing the same thing. I'm starting to worry now that there might be a legitimate problem w/ the shock or something. I won't know until I get it I guess. I'm glad you're getting yours faster though, so you can actually take a good look at this.

My onewheel is crying

[@OWGAC]

LOL OW is great fun around the neighborhood but for longer distance ride like this, its hard to beat the EUC!

[@faustofernandez5881]

Megutaria comprar una

[@OWGAC]

you should, I love the s18!

[@JegnaYu]

Did You changed v11->s18?

[@OWGAC]

I crashed my V11! Still waiting for it to get fixed!

[@kjer6071]

Could you charge on the ferry?

[@OWGAC]

I didn’t see lots of outlets so I didn’t ask, plus I wasn’t sure if its actually okay for me to bring my EUC on the boat so I didn’t want to raise a fuss either.

[@eveoff]

A 5 amp is max i think. But that will charge the battery in 3 hours from zero.

[@OWGAC]

According to KS 6amp is max but I have heard ppl said that the wheel beep if you charge it at 6amp, so you’re prob right.

[@eveoff]

@@OWGAC Thats still nice but imo 5amp is really fast for such a small battery.

[@yanassi]

Ip55, all ip’s should if not waterproof at least should be rustproof

[@Dimonina]

What is your helmet model?

[@OWGAC]

Check out my video description for a link!

[@popcultureisdead818]

You can charge your phone from your EUC, remember 🤦🏼‍♂️😋

[@OWGAC]

Somehow I never remember to bring the cable for it =D

[@erikdolson1507]

The real problem with the S18 is quality control. See this: forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/20746-s18-full-strip-down-suspension-overhaul-tire-upgrade-mods-and-rebuild-my-personal-comprehensive-account/

[@OWGAC]

unfortunately there's not one company or wheel that did not suffer from QC issues.

[@erikdolson1507]

@@OWGAC Yes, I'm learning that. I bought an InMotion V8 when it was a mature product, and it was rock solid. Still, the nature of the manufacturing problems with the S18 indicate it may have been hurried, or QC was sorely lacking. Hard on customers, hard on dealers. I've read it's getting better - though some important improvements remain, at least through the first week of January. Thank you for responding.

[@MGSSnakeEater100]

Good Air shocks but the range is short.

[@OWGAC]

Yup, I did buy a 5 amp charger after the trip and it made recharging the wheel a lot less painful.

[@igorgoga7985]

if you fall, are you likely to fall on the jaw? (need a full face?)

[@OWGAC]

It depends on how you fall. Keep in mind that your riding condition dictate how you should protect yourself. For me in an urban environment sharing the road with lots of other cars, awareness are more important for me.

[@igorgoga7985]

@@OWGAC May I also ask pls if you get a monster- bigger wheel easier to learn and more stable?

[@OWGAC]

igor goga I knew a few people that learned on the monster so it is possible, but usually lighter and more maneuverable wheel is easier since you can make adjustment more easily.

[@billieyoung497]

no way I could ride that..no idea how to balance that thing..I never even got up on the hoover board and that is 2 weeks,I didnt even almost get up on the hoover board...not a chance I could ride this thing....

[@OWGAC]

All the reason why if you do take the time to learn how to ride an euc, it would be even sweeter for you.

[@billieyoung497]

@@OWGAC I dont have that much balance.....the hoover board almost killed me,I never even almost got up on that that and that is 2 wheels

[@faustofernandez5881]

Dime como aserlo

[@theoneed2051]

I think the pay you took was for google navigating with a car. Next time tell it you're riding a bike.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Using a bicycle would not have been a problem....

[@OWGAC]

Certainly! And I tried something similar with a folding bicycle before so yes it does work, however euc is a bit faster and I like riding them more!
