What Starter Electric Unicycle should you buy? EUC Intro Part 1

My most frequently asked question; which wheel should I get as my very first EUC? This week, that question answered and more!
Episode 78- Part of my series of introduction to EUC! Every story has a beginning and so should yours! LOL well I have been asked this question so many times that I figure I finally put it to rest once and for all, well and also give some more background to everyone who's thinking about getting into riding an EUC. Like what are the differences between all the different companies?? That and more this week!

[@oldretireddude]

Very happy to hear my V8F get some love in your video. I appreciated your characterizations of it's place and capabilities. To me, it seems that the Ferraris & Lamborghinis of the EUC world have been given enough coverage. Wheels that fall into the Accord/Camary class of EUC, while less sexy, still need coverage.

[@OWGAC]

I think we need more and better accord/camaries!!

Love your videos! This one in particular coincides with my current situation. I just recently got into EUCs last month with a cheap old NB One E+, and due to the Gotway issues recently went with one of their more tried and true older models, Tesla v2, as my next step up commuter wheel. Looking forward to part 2!

[@niko_x_zero]

You're talking me out of going in on the v11 or 10f... my wallet and partner thank you sir! I have been watching for a few years now and am ready to pull the trigger. I thought getting something closer to what I'll use forever would be the move, but you've made some great points about training. I have a circus background (tightrope, stilts, and unicycle) so I'm hoping I'll pick it up quick. Thanks for the fantastic content!

I am wanting to get into EUC and out of all the KZbin videos I have watched you suggesting a cheaper will to start with groundbreaking thank you so much

[@SwitchUpYt]

Inmotion V10F was my first wheel and in many ways I like it more than my next wheel (MSP HS) it’s so well balanced and easy to ride. It has better water proofing and it feels well built and safe.

[@tanho5917]

It was my 1st wheel too, but after 3wks, i was almost ready to give in. But cause I'm stubborn, I had to rethink how best to go about learning. I then ordered an AirWheel X8 and was able to ride it in 2mins due to the lighter weight & low pedal clearance. After a few days, I had enough confidence to try to the V10F again and was able to ride immediately. So I do agree with Hsiang about having a beginner wheel. I still have the X8 so I can teach new riders and build the community.

[@OWGAC]

The hype of high speed riding sometime gets to ppl, you realize that for most ppl 90% of time you don’t go above 35

[@rentedduckliing]

Just bought that wheel for my first kinda nervous since I never rode before

[@FernellyMrFerns]

Yea just got my V10F this week.. My first EUC but best believe once I get good I'm going for the V12... Seems like Inmotion makes very concrete EUCs and I may just stay loyal to them

[@pelotontherapyy]

I got the v10f as my first wheel aslo. I'm so happy I did b/c it gives me the opportunity go grow with the wheel. I normally cost at 16-21mph so the 25mph top speed isn't concerning atm. I imagine in 6ish months I'll be ready to upgrade for more power and speed but I'll keep the v10f as a over qualified errand wheel.

[@vladimirtoricin2599]

Greetings from Russia. My first one was a ninebot one S2. Easy to learn on the small EUC and to understand, do you really need it. Upgraded to inmotion v10 than. Love it! Thank you for your videos!

[@frederickoparah1669]

When I think about it if you are light enough the mten3. It is unstable until you learn to ride with it, so it's a double learning, small deviations in the road or pavement destabilises a rider easily plus tramlining so your awareness increases significantly, also the speed limitation gives you a sense of speed and when you need to pull back before the cutoff. Then when you move to a bigger wheel with more power and stability, your attentiveness, antipication, and reactions are set in stone, making you a better rider. Not immediately a wheel you would think to recommend as a first wheel but I certainly would.

[@Miguelfilippo]

All good tips, man! Especially on buying a smaller, used wheel. I am learning on a Ninebot, and can’t imagine it being a bigger more powerful wheel. Also, it fell down in such harsh ways…if it was new, I would definitely shed a tear 😁

[@pacochawa2746]

They said that about motorcycles too. I find used to be a death trap, just get what you want. People like me got only 1 shot at a big purchace lol. Go against the grain but do your homework. Those fast one got speed limiting right?

[@mangu768]

Great stuff Hsiang.

[@OWGAC]

Appreciated!

[@jethrobell1364]

As usual, excellent ideas. I learned on the 18XL with the Roll.nz cover to protect it, so my numerous crashes were less damaging on the wheel. From my experience, I think a 16 inch wheel would have been easier to learn on.

[@OWGAC]

Yeah a smaller diameter usually let you turn easier but the 18XL is probably a great choice since its still quite light compare with wheels with 3" wide tire.

[@delbomb3131]

I learned on a monster and I feel like it was perfect. The height made leveraging it on my calf for learning to mount. The notoriously slower response of acceleration meant no twitchy unexpected burst of speed And the thing is extremely stable. A year in i have yet to experience wobbles

[@user-pj9ie4bs1z]

I was considering a monster for myself do to being 6"4" and 280lb. Was thinking of getting it as a gift to myself if i can lose another 20lbs

[@claudiablasi9480]

Thanks Hsiang for such great & important intro. You're absolutely right in choosing KS16X & VF8 as the first EUCs' to start with. As you know my first EUC was the KS16x & I considered very safe & easy to learn. The high pedals on the Ks16X are a plus because they provide very good steady balance once you get the hand of it and also prevents you more from kissing the ground unlike the other EUCs'. The other choice Emotion Vf8 is great if you're looking for great performance but less weight. The Vf8 is only 32 lbs unlike the Ks16X with 50lbs. Currently I own the Vf8 but I haven't get a chance to try it yet due to the weather conditions in New York but spring is soon around the corner & I'm more than ready to hit the road just like Jack lol. Hsiang Once again thanks for your outstanding videos keep them rolling🤗

16x just feels so good and easy. I started on mten3 then moved to my own KS, and love it till today. But I did outgrow it after 4 months XD

Mten3 as first unicycle. 10 minutes of learning on an incline and I could ride without falling. Fits in a backpack and it isn't slow. IMO it's a great little first wheel

Small and maneuverable yeah the MTen3 is just about perfect as the first!

[@victorromerogonnella304]

@hsiang what if I'm 100kg/220lbs, wouldn't that be too much weight for the Mten3?

[@Miguel-ve1lh]

Would you still say the same today? Looking to purchase one where i don’t really have to upgrade but one that’s not the Sherman

[@papagarouge]

I came across EUC's while doing some research for an electric scooter. Really got my attention. Looks really fun. I'm still looking at them and yet to decide but I think the V8F may be the way to go as it is relatively inexpensive compared to some of the others. Sadly next to no second hand market in my city. Once I get going then it may make sense to upgrade and drop $2000 +. Thanks for the great intro and I'll keep an eye out for part 2!

[@sporadictravels241]

Same here.. I'm considering between a V8F or 16S. Then I got advice to try the 16X, and I also really want the S18 for the suspension. I kind of feel like the V8F might be easiest to learn on since its the smallest and lightest weight, the slowest. However, there isn't much price difference between that and some of the others and if you're going to upgrade it a few months.. maybe just go with the bigger, better wheel. So many options. Thank you, @Hslang for making this video. Very informative! Waiting for your next one to drop. If I get up to NYC, where can I try an EUC?

[@honestlee9921]

@@sporadictravels241 I'm in the same boat. I REALLY want that s18 but it would be my first wheel and I shouldn't be spending that much money right now. But Im afraid the v8f will be too underwhelming

You got me as a subscriber now but get that second vid out asap! We need current content like this, not last years info as nearly every other Tuber has.

[@OWGAC]

No, don’t get a sherman as your first, its too heavy and hard to learn on, better to start with a lighter small diameter wheel. Just talked to someone who started on a sherman and he almost quit cuz it was so hard to learn on

[@legyroquoi]

I too would recommend finding a used ninebot z10 to start! Still an amazing wheel. Super stable, which is great to learn on. I've teach many people on this one first, before making them try a smaller width tire. Has nice top speed and range to start with. But yeah.. hard to repair. Although I never had to repair mine!

[@revolvingrider2146]

I have a Gotway MSP and 2 Ninebot Z10 wheels ❤️. I wanna ride my MSP Torque but I usually end up cruising Copenhagen on one of my Z10's. I feel more alive on my Z10 than on any other wheel I've ever tried😂❤️

Both my calves have grown to double size after I started riding my Z10🙏 Keep riding, rolling around with your kids on the Z10 sounds great, I'm trying to pick the best wheel for my girlfriend this summer. She loves the look of the Z10 but due to its history and that you have to be more "awake" on that wheel, I'm thinking of buying her a KS16X😂❤️

[@legyroquoi]

@@revolvingrider2146 I know z10 had problems at start, but if it doesn't comes as dead on arrival there's little chance something could go wrong with it. Just check the battery drain and you're good. Plus, find one cheat, used so if it breaks, you have parts for the others and it's cheap now, less than 1000$! I personally don't like the 16x, I do prefer the Nikola by far. My 16x had problems with water and dust. Plus it's unsafe at speed. I think the z10 is fast enough. Plus in the snow, the best ever! I'm sure you could do this in Copenhagen ! Kids are crazy with this! photos.app.goo.gl/ztTC8d2AUq7DfDd68

Yeah the z10 actually makes for a great starter wheel, stable at low speed and super durable. And yo can find them at a great price now that they are a few years old.

[@AlexisChateau]

I got interested in EUCs after buying and riding my Kiwano K01. It is an electric unicycle, but has a much different design and far less assistance with balancing. I feel like if I can manage to ride this thing without dying (so far), these should be way easier. 😅 Time will tell! So far, the Kiwano is kicking my butt but I love it.

[@OWGAC]

oh god, I looked into the Kiwano when I started also! everything I heard says that its HARDER to ride than an EUC because of how awkward it is. So you have an easy time with picking up riding an EUC!

[@AlexisChateau]

@@OWGAC Haha, it is insanely hard to ride, so I'm looking forward to upgrading to an EUC in the next year or so. But it is fun. It also has a fat tire and suspension, so IF I can master it, it will be pretty sweet off-road. So far, I handle bumpy roads with it just fine. Sand is super hard. I wanna try gravel next. 🤣

[@mcuz2164]

I’m really digging the mten3 as a first wheel. And you comment below that it is almost a perfect first. But in the video you recommended staying away from gotway for a beginner. So what’s up? Is the mten3 an exception?

[@acnetj]

It is OK to own a smaller/starter like wheel and a large wheel (after you learn how to ride/balance). The smaller wheel is useful for short trips or trips that involves bus/train, stairs, or when parking car far away. The big wheel would be used for long trips. The redundancy is helpful when 1 of the wheels is down, which happened recently when I got a flat. Replacing the inner tube on an EUC is a lot more work than compared to a bike or even a car.

[@olgac9121]

Believe me, it is not always necessary to disconnect the entire wheel and remove it. You can remove the tube without disconnecting it, with 2 flat screwdrivers. You patch, you introde the tube, inflate and go. I did. It's simple. But almost no one believes it. Duf told me that he had to see it to believe it. I'm not talking about changing tire, I mean PATCH tube

[@OWGAC]

Yes definitely on that backup part since I can’t go without riding anymore!!

[@rcpete7055]

I think I would have benefited more from going straight to the more forgiving Gotway msx instead of the ninebot z6 👍 the ninebot is a great short distance wheel but is hard to turn at speed and cannot take speed bumps.. The big tyre makes u think it will be better or softer but it has no inner tube which makes it hard and jarring when going over bumps.. The 19" msx & msp wheels are similar to motorbike tyres and this makes them great for commuting and long distances on and off road.. I could not do without mine after 6yrs and 6000kms.. 👍👍👍

[@TheDownloader86]

I bought GW Tesla T3 as my first wheel. MCM5 is probably even better because of that wider tire, but GW makes normals wheels also, not only crazy ones :D.

Wait....when did EUC become a "sport"? Isn't it just a mode of transportation? I mean...I know cars can be used in sports, your legs and hands can be used in sports, it's what you do with the tool. But I do not see any sporting events held with EUCs and all these videos I watch are people just joy-riding. I'm not sure I personally would call it a sport but I could be wrong. None the less, I came here to say AWESOME video as always, bro. Keep 'em comin', bud!

Try riding a monster pro! As a matter fact the fact that it takes so much effort to ride that wheel is what most of the complaint lodge against it are so far, but it definitely take skill and strength to wrestle full performance out of a wheel.

Hello ! Thank you for this video on a subject ... I really like your videos,your stile is so amazing. I am from France and I also work my english with you ! Could you advise me on this subject ? I've been riding an unicycle for 2 years and I've had two falls lately. Two situations that are explained and that will probably not happen to me in the future. I must not be good at it because I know that some people have never fallen!... I love unicycle and I don't want to stop. It is still a safe way to ride but I have hurt myself a lot during these falls and I would like to protect myself better. I would like to get an airbag vest to protect my chest. There are some for motorcycles and bikes but I haven't found anything for unicycle... I would like to know if it is possible to use a motorcycle or bicycle airbag with automatic opening (fall detection). Will the vest open? The vests are not cumbersome and it would reassure me to wear one to protect my spine in case of a fall. Could you make a topic on this? or advise me a product? I thank you and I wish you a lot of success with your channel !

I guess motorcycle airbag would work but they are designed to handle faster speed? How fast are you crashing? Usually fall at 40 or even 50kmph shouldn’t require more than regular motorcycle jacket no? But everyone falls, and the more ride experience you have, the more you’ll learn how to better react and you’ll be more stable and less likely to fall.

[@christophelepelletier7294]

@@OWGAC Hello. Thanks for your answer. I come back to you because I have contacted a french compagnie who make an airbag for bicycle. I asked them if it would open ? They anwer me I communicate to you and your communauty their anwer if a person is interrested. The compagnie name is Helite and the product "b safe". The answer : We do not currently have a product developed specifically for the unicycle. The models we have for bikes and motorcycles are safe to use on an unicycle but will only cover a part of the accidents. An impact directly against a truck or a wall will not be covered, A side impact against a car will not be covered, A mowing by a car will be partially covered, depending on the speed and shape of the car A crash will be covered from 10 km/h onwards Bye

you have hooked me .:)

Hi Hsiang, would you still recommend the MCM5 V2 as a beginner wheel even though it's a Gotway / Begoode product?

[@OWGAC]

Their older wheels tends to be more durable, but as is the case with all gotway wheels, open it up and double check that all connections are solid since their qc has been bad

[@Leorgo]

hi Hsiang I live in NYC and in the market for a used EUC.. where should I look for someone selling one?

[@Miguelstradamus]

i dont have much money to spend so frequently so as someone quite experienced on all manners of wheels I think I'm going to just hard commit to a more premium ride to jump. I know I want to get good at this and eventually buy a faster wheel anyway so I rather not spend more than i need to.

[@jontaba80]

Looking for part 2 👀

[@aaronrichardson5619]

late to the party but wondering if you think the learning curve is very steep or just somewhat more difficult when thinking about getting a nicer one. For example - ive never ridden but am considering the S22 whenever that happens and I would hate to drop a sum of money on a cheaper one and then go drop more for the one I want. The only way I could justify that is if we would expect EUC's to comfortably hit 60mph sometime in the near future, in which case - I could "suffer" for a little bit with a more learner friendly version, That being said, my intention for learning is a park, on the grass and taking it very slow for a couple weeks before actually taking it to pavement. What are your thoughts/perspective on the aforementioned?

[@Curtish8892H]

Hook up with Smart Wheel here in Toronto Canada. I will use referral. I also love your helmet and the reason you said you ride with it. Do you recommend this helmet to a beginner? Enjoy you commentary and show production very much.

[@OWGAC]

I like my own helmet (link in description) TSG is also very popular here

[@robmcghie5248]

So where should I start Inmotion v8f?

[@SheikAshii]

I can’t wait to get one of these and just go jogging speed and stick to sidewalks

[@bennynijjar4456]

Hey do u think it's fine IF I buy the GOTWAY MCM4 260?

[@BruceWayne15325]

I'm curious how much riding in the cold like that affects your battery life. Do you find yourself replacing the batteries often, or do they last several years? I just bought my first EUC, and my long-term goal is to replace my 2nd car with an EUC. I'll only use the car for large shopping trips, long distance travel, or icy conditions.

[@bradwheeler3026]

Is there a good starter wheel that has a suspension?

[@nobiden3134]

First is a V11. Lots of research, videos. S18 only has 2 inches suspension travel. V11 has about 6. I like the car adjustment on the app. Headlight up or down? -2 is GOOD TURN CONTROL.

[@OWGAC]

Remember suspension isn’t just about travel distance, s18 has progressive shock and the v11 is linear

[@nobiden3134]

@@OWGAC Sure thats a fancy shock, but the Linkage is limited.. I see a lot of Bottom outs! Clack! The V11 has top/bottom valve.. 30/50psi is perfect for me. I have to straight leg a curb to bottom out.. why do Truck trailers use airspring??

[@benjaminnielsen7973]

Hey I was wondering why you didn't mention segway? Are they that bad?

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

I got a cheap old one in the shed. Lost the charger

[@0Ninja0Dude0]

yeah man I've never ridden one but I can ride anything with a high skill level in a couple hours I really want one but my state has vague blanket laws on personal electric vehicles. so I'm considering the gotway v8s right now? I need something that's 1000w or less and personal preference dictates that it will need to be as nimble as possible which I think I would get out of the skinnier tire. knowing myself I'll be riding it really aggressively in no time. is there any others I should be looking at that fit this niche?

[@OWGAC]

there are vague laws banning their use just about everywhere, I would suggest that you look up a local riding group and see what actual experiences are in your area, in you are in the US, its likely "don't ride like and ass and you'll be fine"
