Veteran Sherman Review - Built for the road. NO ELECTRIC UNICYCLE COMES CLOSE, YET - BEST OF 2020

[@erikknutson3940]

I bought a Vetran Sherman three months ago. My first wheel. So much fun! A little practice and now 40 mph .

[@Wolfebites]

I got the Sherman V2 as my first wheel against all recommendations and watching this video. About a year ago. The learning curve wasn’t bad. It came on a Sunday I was going off road on day two and in the NYC streets by Friday and I’m not really the recklessness type. I will say I TOTALLY get why it’s not recommended I wouldn’t really recommend it either, but I needed to future proof. That comes at a cost tho. Can’t say I regret it.

[@coolhawk2003]

Look how nice the roads are there. Smooth and even got lines painted on it. Wow the dream for the euc

[@Eddie_freeflow504]

Wow everything you said about the sherman is spot on. Thanks for the history of the name because now it makes sence it does look like a mini tank but my kids say it looks like a jeep. I love riding my Sherman at 40mph and I don't have to worry about beeps.

[@UStride]

Yup exactly, no worries about beeps at all

[@Kay0Bot]

[@michaelcastro5339]

@@arcrides6841 All of downtown Boston where the video is taking place is a 25mph zone (except near the Pawtucket river where it's 45)so yea it's possible on both counts.

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Great review bro. I really can’t wait for Veteran to make the Sherman 2 as well. They listen to us riders so I’m sure they will try their best to fix the things that we note as shortcomings

[@UStride]

Very true thanks man

[@Papalou1234]

ThaBlackcobra they need to fix nothing imo just put a 3000/3500w motor on v2 and you got me to buy it 😉

[@ThaBlackCobra]

Ottawa Wheeler euc The pedals are way too low making it harder and more scary to make sharp turns or go over things without worrying about clipping them. The pedal dipping has also been mentioned. Great wheel but not perfect

[@arcrides6841]

@@ThaBlackCobra Absolutely way too low. I hit them on the ground like every 30 seconds. It's hard not to. Aside from that though the Sherman is fantastic for leaning into corners due to it's perfect balance. If it had higher pedals it would be phenomenal. You could lean it like a motorcycle.

[@vtran1082]

This is for anybody that already has their sherman. Whenever I turn on my wheel it spins out out of control. I sent it in for repairs after they fixed the wires. It still does this. Am I doing something wrong when I power on the Sherman? Update: it was my fault trying to pick up the euc and freaking out. Do not pick it up and just lay it on its side to reset and hard stop. If you pick it up, it'll accelerate even more until it powers out. 2nd update: it took me a day to learn how to ride the wheel and balancing on it. I recommend going to the park with a huge open grass field and no dog turds. I had an amazing time learning and felt super sore. The breaking point was one morning when I decided to ride to work giving myself 2 hours for a 16 mile drive into the city. Glad I went at 4am because I fell into the sewer gutter hole a dozen of times and eventually learned how to control the wheel going slow. I haven't figured out how to safely ride fast yet but I'm solely working myself to getting to ride out on the road. The wrist guards are a lifesaver literally. Don't ever ride without safety gear folks!

[@UStride]

I'd recommend contacting your distributor as well for answers

[@vtran1082]

@@UStride it was entirely my fault, I shouldn't have picked it up. I should have placed it on its side on the ground. I'm just leaving my post here in case anybody else had this issue. Thanks Ustride

@@vtran1082 but wait a minute, I'd you have the Sherman standing on its wheel and then turn it on, it shouldn't spin out of control! It will spin if you lift it though!

[@vtran1082]

@@UStride it did it the first time but once the wires were corrected it must have been fixed. I must have just had deja vu nightmares about the first time and instinctively picked it up once the wheel moved which caused the wheel to accelerate out of control. Once I placed it on its side and reset the wheel, I noticed the sherman balancing itself out and the controls to accelerate and decelerate worked perfectly. The guys at ewheels are awesome and helped me through this.

When going up stairs, what if you carried a strap that would span between forward and rear handle, then leave the Sherman turned on, now let the Sherman climb the stair under its own power? Use the strap to keep it upright and guide it. I forgot about the trolley handle on that wheel, unless you're afraid of bending it on the stairs just use it to guide the Sherman up the steps.

[@UStride]

Not a bad idea lol.

[@DedHedJosh]

I’ve wanted a Onewheel for years now. Ever since it was a kickstarter. Got real serious about one a little under a month ago. Realized just how underperforming they are compared to euc’s and the reasons I actually want a “wheel” for it’s a no brainer now. Not even close anymore. This wheel here seems like the most serious wheel that is out. The frame is a no brainer and couldn’t t believe it hadn’t been thought of yet. The range and speed of this make it a no brainer. I agree with the first wheel thing though. It’s like a guy going out a getting a hyabusa and never riding a motorcycle. Knew a guy who did that and he died 20 mins after leaving the dealership. So. As much as I’d rather just get this wheel I understand working your way up. Now I just have to figure out what wheel to get before I move on to this or the newer version when it gets released.

[@UStride]

Awesome man. Good points and I'm very glad you understand. Buy whatever you want but just he realistic. It's like any other motor vehicle. There are many options for you to choose. Choose wisely

[@MidTownSnipers_VHP]

The onewheel goes like 14mph max & gets like 14 miles per charge for the same price as an EUC.. I personally wouldn't even consider a one wheel, but im also not a skateboarder so.. I understand the skaters transition to boards to EUC'S

[@sinikarus9280]

I dont get why people carry it up steps. My sherman does just fine being pushed up them. Just pull out the handle and push it against the steps. the tire will grip the steps and the autobalance along with your leverage will easily bring it up the steps. Maybe its just the camera angle, but ive pushed mine up steps larger than the ones he carried it up on just fine.

[@arcrides6841]

Yeah man after reading your comment I realized that there's a technique to that. If you do it just right you can roll it up real quick and easy. Much easier than carrying it up. But it takes a little practice to make it effortless. The trick is to give it a slight lift and push the moment you are about to hit the edge of each step. But only for that moment. So overall you don't do much work at all. But you need to do that lift/push precisely so that the tyre doesn't do a burnout and simply rolls up the step. It's easy once you get used to it. If you don't give it enough lift. It does a burnout. That's the key. So make sure to give it just enough of a lift. But no more than you need so you don't do extra work by lifting more than you need to.

I'm 6'8" and 300 pounds. I have no problem throwing 100 pounds around and lifting it over my head. And I think I have to start on the Sherman bc of the 330 pound weight capacity. I'd like to save some money and start on something else... but I make good money and I feel the Sherman would be much better. I plan on buying one this spring/ summer. I feel like a lot of the gripes with new riders would not apply to me. Also strong legs and bottom heavy almost.

[@secretdaisy6484]

I've been watching the wheel reviews for the Sherman & the King Song S18. The tire on the Sherman is perfect. It has more surface area on the street & increases stability. That tire would be perfect on the King Song S18. I can't deal with a 70 lb. wheel. I have a torn rotator cuff on my right shoulder that I am foregoing surgery but still can't pick something this heavy up on a regular basis. I have been pondering the perishability of the plastic side panels on all wheels & have been thinking about how to redo it in aluminum or make flat rails that wrap around from the rail cage that is already there & also for your U Cage. But, sliders will do the job! Like for a sport bike. They protect the bike & fairings etc. I need them for my Ninja. Were the sliders that guy had homemade? I think they are generally made out of the hard urethane that rolkerblade & skateboard wheels are made of. I don't think the wheel manufacturers are doing their best job by making the wheels with outer shells like toys that cost hundreds of dollars & can be torn to pieces in a simple crash. They need to come up with more durable exoskeleton or roll cages or some type of protection. My Inmotion V5 looks like it will crack apart if it falls over. Not good for a $700+ purchase. I think the King Song S18 is my upgrade wheel once I learn to ride the Inmotion which is a work in progress. 🚧 Be safe. 👍☮️🌞
