Veteran Sherman First Ride

[@jwbnscacpt]

I learned about these today! So cool! Thinking about getting one to get to work with instead of driving my truck all the time.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

You should! They are life changing and extremely fun. If you work within 10-miles of home I think it's a reasonable expectation. Much further and the commute time will probably get bothersome.

[@jackvolta3489]

Hello Jeff, just want to add some extra encouragement! Im an older rider & started in my fifties, & they surly are as Marty says life changing, not only do you learn an experience that is the closes thing to free flight, you'll meet all the other ppl who where, as you, inspired by it. It is by far the most exhilarating, habit forming, experience you'll ever pick up, all I can say is dont hesitate & get one asap, & never listen to nah sayers, only those experienced in this sport will give you truthful answers of the thrill your about to embark apon. Go For all the Gusto life has to offer Jeff & I guarantee you'll never look back. 😜👍

Did you see it on moto madness? Lol

[@ukdnbmarsh]

yeah the money you will save in the long run will be incredible and you will be saving the planet while doing so

[@sengyang6780]

It's so much fun to ride you actually feel like flying.

[@jackvolta3489]

Awesome video Marty love how you started this with a series of focused in satellite shots nice touch. 😎👍👍

[@OnAirPromo]

Nothing like a great third date... Thanks Marty! :)

[@DaleClark1000]

I'm so jealous of that beautiful road - no cars ? Where the hell do you find a road like that?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yep. ~25-miles of car-free road most of the time. It's an old seldom used mountain road that's also closed to car traffic half of the year. Southern California.

[@chato6210]

Nice! 😎

[@ZenLee]

not worrying about charging...going be a great feeling!

[@chato6210]

Zen Lee lmao when he said once we make it to the top they'll have to recharge but I'll be fine and keep going lol

[@dougyetman351]

Great video Marty. I think I may have literally turned green with envy. Keep riding and stay safe.

[@Jd-zd6bh]

The speed they are going is very fast, or at least it seems fast, almost the speed of riding a motorcycle. A very nice place to ride. Where are the cars??? Long distance ride is awesome. . I need to save my money to get one of the sherman. .

[@TheEVside]

Great video

[@spacemansam_]

So excited to receive mine first half of August!

[@awheel7812]

Beautiful road

[@doyoucomply8770]

Had to sub great review 🖒love from the UK

[@timrodriguez1]

What a fun ride. 🤠👍

[@UStride]

Hey Marty amazing video. Can you set the tilt back at or near the top end speed?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I don't believe that you can, but I don't know with any authority. I always turn the tilt-back off on my wheels.

[@UStride]

@@ElectricUnicycles gotcha thanks man

[@Wheel_fast_euc_rider]

Your riding 15 min from my house.... I've got my preorder in already for the Sherman.... never rode an EUC before.... how do I get in on these group rides when I learn to ride it?? Lol...

[@Wheel_fast_euc_rider]

@@ElectricUnicycles thank you!... ill check it out... hopefully come out to ride soon.... well... as soon as it ships...

[@mikaelhenhammar]

If you do a lot of group rides you should consider getting a helmet intercom . Works for phone calls ,listening to music , communicating whit riders . Alarms (works whit Wheel log) ...no more shouting .. some even got cameras .

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Some people have down that (San Diego riders) but from what I've seen they are unreliable and there's way too much fiddling around to get everyone connected together.

[@PaulA-pm3gx]

Seems to ride like a rocket on rails, so smooth and fast. Nice wide panoramic camera view, the scenery is spectacular. Just wondering, is the road closed to cars? Such a great long, sealed road. No center line markings, everyone riding the entire width of the road. Didn't see a single car, but some oncoming cyclists that were filmed. Look forward to reviews and thoughts when the suspension wheels arrive. Great style of vid.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

This is an old ~25-mile mountain road that is closed half the year to car traffic, for various reasons. On this day the road was closed. It may be the most scenic ride for EUC's in all of Southern California

[@PaulA-pm3gx]

@@ElectricUnicycles Southern California is spectacular, that is a very nice road just perfect for EUCs. Really enjoy watching all the vids, thanks.

[@PaulA-pm3gx]

@@ElectricUnicycles Hi, there is a video by KingSong on youtube showing one of their factory technicians changing a EUC tyre. The video goes for 3mins, 14secs from start to finish, with no cuts or edits. The tyre is taken off and replaced, it is a VERY easy process when shown how to do it. The trick to not pinching the tube is to have it partially inflated before you stuff it into the tyre. Then press the tyre back into place with the handle of a hammer. Here is the link to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioGXXo2na9iHiq8 KZbin tutorials from professionals, saves a lot of hassles, thanks.

How much did riding gear Cost I want buy a Sherman Unicycle and your gear in mate Black?

[@subsadventure]

Hi Marty. I am new to your page, and I have sooo many questions, but i'll watch more of your video series on the the Veteran Sherman and I'll comment later! Thanks for all you are doing to help the new guy, and when I say new, I mean NEW, as I don't even own an eWheel lol!!!

[@EUCFreedom]

That look so fun!

[@EdAstor]

Greetings from Paraguay

[@LS-jk3fk]

what gear you use?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

See links in the video Description

[@redspectrenine9632]

What were other people riding during this? I might not invest in the Veteran Sherman due to cost but it would be nice to know which wheels can keep up like this.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

All the wheels could keep up with this ride. But everyone had to recharge at the top for a couple of hours, with fast chargers. The Sherman did not. There were MSX's, MSP, Monster, KS18XL, and Nikola's.

[@chato6210]

Maybe you can bolt down a bracket at each end to the metal bars on the wheel so it's not touching the controls, nice flat surface to weld a chopped down bicycle seat poll then it's just pick a spring cushioned seat....POW! Spring suspension who? Shock absorber what? 🤣👍🥃

[@JohnDoe-zl6qw]

And with the metal roll cage there's lots of mounting possibilities. I plan on attaching a mountain bike shock-absorbing seat post (spring built inside the tube), slap on a bike seat, and - voila! - shock absorption.

[@jackvolta3489]

@@JohnDoe-zl6qw awesome Idea John, love your creativity and if you know how to weld it's already in the bag : ) I'm going to leave you with a link, you may have seen it but it's definitely an inspiring picture: images.app.goo.gl/oGkxAQ1tVsdtpFLcA

[@MaximusSK66]

Hey Marty I just bought a gotway msx 100v. 2200wh and it does what you said in your video, that oscillation of back and forward, do you think it may be the one with the bad firmware. And would you know how to correct it? it does it mainly on soft and medium setting not as much in hard mode.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

It should be less noticeable in the non-hard modes. The MSX should be a wheel that when it's in hard mode the pedals are rock-hard and there is zero back-and-forth oscillation/movement. The only fix is to install a new control board with the good firmware. I assume you didn't buy it from a dealer in which case you'll have to buy a new control board.

[@ahmadthabet-ceo8087]

What's the effect of electric radiation from those big batteries on the body?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Nothing

[@ahmadthabet-ceo8087]

@@ElectricUnicycles is there any research about it

[@milesblack7294]

hi, cool video!

[@WilliamRozear]

Speaking of tire pressure, what PSI do you normally run on the MSX/MSP? Trying to get an idea where to start. Thanks!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Tire pressure is very personal. Generally, higher pressures will provide more agility at the expense of a more unstable (wobbles) ride. At a rider weight of ~180-pounds I would start at ~30-psi. I generally ride my MSX & MSP at the mid to high 20's.

[@WilliamRozear]

@@ElectricUnicycles I was noticing that instability when I had the tire up around 40 psi for sure, I'll try lowering it and see if it helps, thanks!

[@GiffysChannel]

what did you mean about the bad firmware version of the MSP?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The very early versions of the MSP had firmware that gave a very bad back & forward oscillation while riding

[@andylovejoy4121]

hi is this with the new bold

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Filmed about 2-weeks ago

[@Papalou1234]

Andy lovejou probably mean with the new mainboard replacement. still waiting for this! Marty this was really nice to get everyone to ride the Sherman👌🏻 now they all back on theyre wheel saying:they all should get one maybe if the Monster 24" or the EX are not so convincing!😂

[@JohnDoe-zl6qw]

So the REAL test: Are you going to get one for yourself?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Of course I ordered on

Hey now !

[@amj0005]

I can't take my eyes off the blonde guy who is riding while looking at his phone with no wristguards. That's a lot of trust in Chinese electronics. My crashes have ALWAYS involved the wristguards. Currently on my 5th pair. Still using my original helmet.

[@Jones24x]

What made you crash ,this wheels fascinate me ,never used one before ,just trying to understand these things a d safety Obviously.

[@amj0005]

@@Jones24x If I had to categorize my tumbles they all fall under the heading of Inattention. Not noticing a change in landscape or my surroundings has been the biggest culprit. In two years I have yet to have an EUC cut out or fail on me and I'm well over 4K miles at this point.
