X-Way First Ride, 90-miles

[@danielmarces7436]

When you release a video, I get so happy. Thank you!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Glad you enjoy the content!

[@dantemarcos1410]

Safe trip to China Marty! 😉👍 nice views on this one.☺️

[@dantemarcos1410]

At this point the Veteran Patton S could out range this Xway possibly 🤔.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thank you

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Hmmm, probably not. 2400 vs 3000

[@ultrasupreme9312]

I like the light on this one it has good coverage, I like everything but the pedal height

[@CameronMassie]

I really love your videos. The consistency, the data, the long tests… as always, great work!

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thank you!

[@timsaloga]

Nice one. I enjoy all your videos, always good information. I did enjoy this video. Thank you, Marty.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Thanks Tim!

[@soloway-l1o]

Nice winter. I like it.

[@Rockin_EUC]

Beautiful ride, looks like a lot of fun!!

[@lepp_]

Nice video!

[@schultzy1971]

I didn't want to get a heavier wheel than my Lynx....but now I might have to : )...fudge!

[@dnthmn117]

Marty, would love to see Matt put this through its paces like the Apex since they're a similar category. Just an idea 😀

[@ElectricUnicycles]

So much to do, so little time :-)

[@EUCme]

Marty, would love to see your launch point, mapped path, and perhaps a small speed indicator. I replicated three of your best known rides and loved them. Also, would love some 360 uploads. You rock!😊

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yeah, all the tech is fun. Takes a lot more time to put it all together though. You'd probably be surprised at how little money comes from KZbin.

[@EUCme]

@ElectricUnicycles I had no idea of the time commitment and costs. You make it all look so easy. Sorry, I just now realized you included the route map at the end. I appreciate all of you content providers.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@EUCme Also, see the EUC World Tour data in the Description where you can see the ride with dynamic data

[@Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

Another excellent ride ! Curious to know, what is your plan on that closed bit of road if a large rockfall starts while you're half way along it ? It looks a bit perilous in some sections and like it could go at any time !

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Pray. I'm playing the odds game. All the landslides that occur here happen during winter storms, when I'm not on the mountain.

[@reden87]

I'd be very interested to see the same route with the apex. I mean that's a wheel advertised as the everything wheel, right? How that would drain the battery. I guess it would be worse because it's a smaller battery, am I correct?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I would never take the APEX on a long ride because there is no seat. And, I no longer have the APEX so the question is mute for me.

[@ryangross5446]

My blitz does the same thing in regards to it being very hard or almost impossible to pull the tire off the ground at a standstill. I bet Ron would find it gets easier to do as he gets used to the new Xway. At first I couldn't do it on my Blitz but after getting used to the suspension I figured out how to do it, it seems to be a matter of different timing and more effort lol

[@t3lva288]

Yea I’ve been riding my blitz for a while and it’s a lot more harder to do compared to my buddy lynx

[@ryangross5446]

@t3lva288 I've noticed spring suspensions usually have more pop in them compared to air even after adjustments. The spring just has more spring I guess lol

[@t3lva288]

@@ryangross5446 yea I want to change the shock on the blitz to something better but I’m not completely sure on what to get

[@0Gonzo0ify]

Compared to the lynx and sherman l??????

[@ElectricUnicycles]

The Sherman L is a totally different beast!

[@0Gonzo0ify]

@ElectricUnicycles sherman l gets better range?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@0Gonzo0ify 4000wh battery vs 3000wh battery.

[@TheTriexy]

90 miles isnt bad for this battery capacity or? Iam using at the moment an Kingsong 18xl and got 52 miles with it

[@wave6760634]

Hi Marty is the xway as tall as the ET max?

[@grb1969]

One simple upgrade to the hydraulic or air suspension systems would be to have an electronic valve that’s controlled by two force sensors, which would proportionally switch between your preferred dampening presets and zero dampening. When the shock is weighted due to street perturbations, normal dampening would be in effect BUT when the rider initiates a downforce (in order to assist in jumping an obstacle) then the proportionality values would eliminate dampening to maximize the spring rebound to become jump-assisted (for curbs, speed bumps, etc. {This tech already exists and it’s stupid-simple, so almost no engineering necessary.} If incremental changes are the norm, then this would be the next step towards improving the existing design… IMHO. 😊 I’m still hoping for a Bose style electronic suspension w/ 30-100cm jump-assist but that will require the MTB or MC industries to implement at scale before trickling down to EUCs. Those crappy Boston Robotics droids can jump several feet, why can’t EUCs? 😊

[@ryangross5446]

Hey Marty, out of curiosity was your tire PSI around 28 like you usually run? I think you're probably right in that the thicker and stronger magnets are sapping away some of the efficiency of these newer wheels. The older wheels seems way more efficient from my experiences, id imagine it's a combination of smaller magnets and more conservative firmware, since 2 or 3 years ago the demand for acceleration wasn't nearly as strong as it is now and wheels could be more tuned for range and efficiency. Awesome video and the Xway looks really good to me

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, I put ~30psi in the tire.

[@ryangross5446]

@@ElectricUnicycles I run about 36 in mine and have gotten 52 miles out of the 2400wh battery averaging 27mph. I'm happy with the range but I wonder how the new Panther will perform range-wise.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

@@ryangross5446 What is your riding weight? ~50-miles at 27-mph for a 2400wh wheel seems extraordinarily high based on my experience (for flat ground rides). My riding weight is ~200-pounds.

[@ryangross5446]

@@ElectricUnicycles 145lbs haha im a stringbean. that ride in particular i also rode seated to try and conserve the most battery. other than that ride id say i usually get between 40 and 45 miles comfortably

[@loufugier3481]

it's a faster acceleration compare to the Blitz ?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

I thought so. I think the Blitz is faster at the top end but I don't think any wheel currently is faster from standstill. If you really enjoy acceleration and don't care as much about the top end, the X-Way is the way to go.

[@dousiastailfeather9454]

Azusa Canyon! Right?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes. Hwy 39 up to Hwy 2.

[@GenZyannd]

euc world error? can't believe how quickly the xWay eats up battery

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Voltage doesn't lie (and bars on the display). Nope, the data is correct.

[@dailyrider2975]

It's interesting to me that it feels less stable higher up. Reason is I've watched a number of "tall" bicycle riders that ride custom bicycles 6 feet in the air. They all claim balance is actually easier high up. like balancing a pencil on your finger is harder than balancing a long tube from Christmas wrapping. Or balancing a hammer vs a rake. But it might be that the auto balance part of EUC makes it different.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yeah, I'm sure the dynamics of the electric unicycle is significantly different than bicycles or balancing a pencil, etc. But the fact remains that for us stability is increased as the feet get closer to the ground

[@LegitSpeedDesigns]

Two questions...1) Is the range worst than a ETmax? 2) Are you charging on 210v @ 19amps? Didn't think 110v could do that....

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Yes, as I mentioned in the video, I was plugged into a 240-volt outlet. I do believe that it has worse range than the ET Max, but that's just a hunch at this point. More to come hopefully.

[@LegitSpeedDesigns]

@@ElectricUnicycles thanks!

[@kylecampbell2501]

​@ElectricUnicycles I was considering this wheel honestly but knowing that the range might be potentially worse than the et Max (because that's what I have right now) is a deal breaker for me. Sherman L might be the way go go. I've noticed on trail rides I'm always the first to run out of battery I have to turn around and barely get home at like 3% riding 40 to 50 miles average speed 20 on trails 35 to 42 on road runs to the next trail

[@miked250]

When you say aggressive ride, are you talking distance😂

[@ElectricUnicycles]

Either you get my channel or you don't

[@Blox117]

will anyone be testing the begode claim of ip67 waterproof?

[@ElectricUnicycles]

No me :-) But I can say the weatherproofing on their latest wheels has been outstanding.

[@derpslayer6923]

Accidentally dropped my falcon upside down into a small pond and submerged it, for about 5 seconds. I rode it home but there was water speckles inside and it wouldn’t let me turn it off and started making all sorts of beebs. Unplugged all the batteries, cleaned it with deionized water and it works perfectly.

[@Blox117]

@@derpslayer6923 Lol, never leave electronics on if water gets inside. that is how it shorts and burns out. but considering you know deionized i guess you already knew.

[@GEN-X-]

Lemme see someone drop into a half pipe and ride it out to a 360 spin up the other side and ride back down... then I'll be impressed. Otherwise you might as well have an electric bicycle so you can carry more stuff and if you run out of power you can pedal your ars out of wherever your stuck.
