Sherman L Custom Seat

[@AnkarnoExa]

YES! The seat I've been asking you FOR!!! Thanks, Marty!🔥👍🏾

[@blockun3563]

The material and design are very comfortable!

[@thuggooch1776]

Very cool and smart idea. I can see the value behind not doing a full squat here. I always feel like I look like a frog getting ready to jump while riding seated and I prolly do haha. I can't wait to see how many miles you can squeeze out of this beauty. Great video and thank you for sharing.

[@mo_euc]

Marty, thank you for sharing your DIY projects with us. I love them! & I love hearing/seeing the details! Please keep'em coming. Your workmanship is impeccable! It's a beautiful seat & so nicely executed! 👌🏻

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thank you!

[@riceoobxg]

Hi Marty. Thanks for the video. What's the height from the ground to the top of the seat?

[@garry944]

I just love that seat you make sr. its wonderful

[@terrenceclark763]

Great job, Marty.👍

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Love it👍 I'm surprised someone has not come out with a folding support that utilizes the handles locking in when in the seated position. Cheers

[@phero66]

Love it, thanks for sharing. I know you don’t want to sell them, but since you have the workshop, maybe consider just selling the wooden support piece pre drilled for the mounts and perhaps the seat base. Let the end user cut/glue/wrap/paint/assemble the rest.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm retired and have zero interest in anything that resembles work 🙂

[@lefotografion]

Haha that's an statement I like

[@ChrisH0Y]

Nice set up - If I got the Sherman L (the Lynx Max - heh heh) I would sculpt and shape a block of Minicell Foam, like what I do for kayak seats. I could custom fit it to the trolly handle. It would be comfortable, weatherproof, and lightweight - but not as comfortable as your seat. Also, an idea for hard seat tolerance on long rides - do what us analog unicyclists do, wear a pair of cycling shorts under your pants. The padded seat will make a hard seat more comfortable.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks for the suggestions.

[@freeforester1717]

On my Sherman S I attached a US mailbox with a wooden insert in the underside folded area so it is attached across the handles like yours, with a little 3/4” thick foam padding strips along the top - it works great, was very cost-effective, and affords great storage to boot for items (Velcro closing at the opening end, which I have up front, and gives an area for an additional front light. I can’t squat like many do, I prefer the higher seat position as afforded by the mailbox, which is plenty strong enough for a well built, if thrifty Scot (103kg, appx 225lbs)! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🥃 😊

[@roghaj]

you did an amazing job at shutting up all the negative Nances before they had a chance to comment.

[@hmhama782]

Great idea, think about to copy it 😊

[@EUCme]

Amazing!!! You are a man of many talents. ~maverick

[@Krozin]

damn, dude said i'm not waiting for aftermarket seats

[@freightshayker]

Good stuff

[@dnthmn117]

Thanks, Marty! Looking forward to the next video. I'm with you on the "look". If it works for you, who cares about anything else. Do you think you'd attempt a design in the future that attaches to the trolley handle, and maybe "clips" into place on the rear bracket? I know that's one of the cons at present. Something to consider. Thanks!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks. For the seat height that I need I need to take advantage of the handles like I've shown in the video. Smaller seats can do as you suggest. See the seat that you can buy for the Lynx.

[@KyleKick909]

That looks like it would be great. I bought a seat for the S16 Pro but sit down riding might be wishful thinking on it.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yeah, that's a small wheel. Really comes down to your legs. Hope it works out.

[@jumpyjigglesnort2232]

I’ve been waiting for this

[@fredwang9048]

I made my seat similarly inspired by a guy making seats for his custom motorcycle not as intricate tho 😂. I used higher density foam for my leather seat which i find better for longer seated sessions

[@Laic]

thanks for the video

[@lepp_]

Nice!

[@DorjelamaLa]

Your Genius able to make your own seat I wish I can make it my own, do you know Wen can we have new 24 inch suspension wheel wait TopSpeed of at least 165 mph? Range of at least 500 miles ?

[@FEETLE]

that will replace every single motorsport currently available 😁

[@ElectricUnicycles]

We can only hope

[@scully203]

Best tire for the Sherman L

[@BlackTalon53]

I have been using pieces cut from dense rubber foam yoga mats for the sidepads of my V10F and my V11, that stuff is amazing. Maybe it would work better than that foam you are using.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks. For me, the yoga mat foam is much too hard compared to the foam I'm using in this seat

[@truthiscensored]

I took your advice (from a video) about a bicycle seat on the V12, but minus the Spring. The spring didn't feel stable. The V12 stock seat is very uncomfortable and trash. I ride about 10 minutes and I can't take it anymore...But I can ride on the bicycle seat forever

[@moonbabies]

yo bredda

[@kayakeux]

Looks confortable. I would buy for 100$ for my SS.

[@dustinhankins2153]

Looks great and very durable. Just looks a little too narrow.

[@asdf1234_.]

Would the seat stop you from being able to brake as hard and quickly when you're going fast bc you can't squat down as low and far back? I remember chooch tech saying how a seat on the EUC would probably inhibit him from braking as hard during more aggressive riding (but the seat looks extra comfortable if you're riding more casually)

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It's all about technique. It's easier standing but you can break very hard while sitting too (sliding your butt back) with less chance of wobbles developing.

[@arturkandla5438]

That's what I call a seat.

[@dantemarcos1410]

Are we masss producing this wheel like a Roger charger? 😮😮

[@ElectricUnicycles]

No LOL

[@stevehopkins2657]

I cannot believe this video has no shots of actual sitting.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I wanted to keep the video from being too long. As I said, there will be a part 2

[@FEETLE]

great DIY .. just an observance it views as a weighty accessory but looks can be deceiving. Perhaps a material change to an aluminum frame, but in comparison to maple wood might be similar on a scale with the aluminum more streamlined.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You are correct that this could be made lighter. Unfortunately I don't have any metal fabrication facilities so this is the best that I can do.

[@xxninjakittysxxplaysroblox9431]

How about a version like this one but having one separate container below the seat to hold your fast charger? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6vMdKCdo7maobcsi=N7DAxb7BxU5HkX_l

[@dustinhankins2153]

Have you checked your Lynx for this? Wondering if it’s same for the Sherman L? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqi5q5WmiLuKpNEsi=2H9Y7_yeCaIq1Eq1

[@ElectricUnicycles]

We (people who know and ride with Brian) have talked about this, even just this morning. You have to understand how super aggressively Brian carves while riding to know that the flex he experiences is not something that 95% of riders will experience. It's a non-issue for me and everyone who has ridding the L so far.

[@jumpyjigglesnort2232]

Yeah, why squat when you can sit comfortably

[@DorjelamaLa]

We 24 inches wheel rider we have been waiting to upgrade from monster pro there’s none we are monster provider feel like discriminated from all Manager EIC manufacture company

[@Hermes8A8A]

This looks horrible and there's no way around it. Worst seat I have ever seen ,ever. 😢
