I outgrew the V5F and gave it away after 750 miles, I know I did get 25 miles out of it on one charge early on but average speed 9 mph to get that result and 145 pound rider. Sorry I don't have better information for ya, I ride my V11 all the time now, I haven't had time to do another range test on it now that it's a couple years old and has 2240miles on it but I was able to get 60 miles on one charge in the first year...

@@HeaveHoEUC thanks

I'm happy for you- I chose Inmotion because I watched Wrong Way reviews and they seemed reliable. My V11 has been a joy too- yet I'm very glad I learned on the small one. Bigger Faster Stronger is definitely a thrill, however I think that the V11 is actually a little too big for me but I am definitely getting my money's worth with 2300 miles on it at this point. If I were ever to get another wheel I might try one of the smaller wheels with a wider tire something that weighs less than 40 pounds. Please Please be vigilant about safety gear- you will fall you will wipe out at some point- the rider's high that you can get is real - after the steep learning curve, all of a sudden it will feel effortless and if you do upgrade to a bigger one, stopping and dismounting a 60 pound wheel that's going 25mph is way different that stopping the little V5F going 10mph! Please feel free to share your progress here! I'm sort of a total unprofessional and I like to remind my fellow newbies/hobby riders that we are not as skilled as the pro's and we need to take even more precautions for our own safety. Don't try to ride in traffic too early- we are the most vulnerable people on the roads with our tiny profile and unexpected speed.

@@NoFeeArea yeah, to call it a drug or suggest it is "Terrible" is just my way of saying that it needs to be in moderation as you very eloquently pointed out. I am trying to contrast they way so many EUC channels hype their greatness - it's not great if it takes over your life and makes you disregard safety measures....

Like me being Santa Claus!!! It's fun but just not full time!!​@@HeaveHoEUC

@@NoFeeArea so, are you going to shave the beard off and start over before the season starts again this year?

Thanks for your perspective- it made me realize that because I'm only 5'2" tall, the extreme height of the V11's pedals is one of the main reasons that I have a hard time maintaining control of it when I'm stopping at lights/intersections. Also since I am not riding every day my conditioning isn't the best. I wish there was a study about the effects of Riding EUC, I find it somewhat amazing that I can work an 8 hour shift walking 30,000 steps and still have the foot/leg and core energy to ride home from work 4 miles. The main reasons I don't ride to work are weather conditions, little cargo space in my backpack for various clothing layers and sack lunch, and the fact that I like to spend my lunch hour sitting in my truck eating a sack lunch. It's nice to feel that I have enough experience riding by now that I'm not afraid of forgetting how to do it. Wishing you many safe and happy years on EUC-Ride On!

I'm curious, how often do you come to a full stop with one foot on the ground at a stop sign /light/ or intersection? For me I find it some what difficult and physically demanding to do it and keep control of the V11 while I look for an all clear and then get started again- often I end up dismounting, straddling it for a few seconds and then getting back onto one foot with it- seems like some part of my body is not conditioned enough to control the thing easily while stopped even after riding for almost 22 months.. Maybe it's just a "me" problem

@@HeaveHoEUC I do it every time but my v13 has suspension delete and the pedals are as low as they can be set so my feet aren't too far off the ground which makes it much easier.

Have you tried stepping off the wheel and standing on a curb instead of going the whole way to the ground to reduce the distance you must step down? The height can make a huge difference and the v11 is rather tall.​@@HeaveHoEUC

@@whatswheelygood Thanks for your comment sharing your experience. Part of the wonderfulness of EUC is their silent running which is great for nature trails, however one might seriously consider broadcasting a Harley Engine and having some sort of intense light show flashing so that we are noticed amongst the hulking behemoth, death metal machines we call "cars" Remembering always that these roads are designed, made and maintained specifically for them, not us and we all rely on trucks and cars and most of us drive them ourselves. We EUCers need to be vigilant ( ATGATT) in taking on the responsibility and risks that our cutting edge mode of transport demands in order to protect ourselves. Ride On brother!

@@HeaveHoEUC I really miss the speaker on my V12, I will say the off-road tire makes some noise which can help but I have also considered carrying an air horn.

What will you ride in or on? I spent years "safely" in my house putting on extra weight which was actually damaging my physique and wasn't exactly healthy. Hoverboard and EUC helped to motivate and inspire me to better health and fitness. Safer motivators and inspirations may exist for you - boredom can also be dangerous- everything we do in life is a calculated risk of sorts. But your caution is well founded, it is easy for me to imagine that me, the non -professional, has skills comparable to the pros I see on monetized youtube channels who have tons more riding experience/ time and knowledge than I do. I'm attempting to stay vigilant and continuously redirecting my self to the most cautious and thoughtful engagement with this hobby as I can muster-thank you for your comment- what hobbies do you have?

Good for you! Take your time-it took me forever to get reasonably good at riding mine - still plenty of room for improvement. It's a demanding hobby, but it also inspires and reinvigorates- therefore time and energy well spent. Safety gear always-Ride On!

@@HeaveHoEUC It's one of the most difficult and most rewarding things I've ever learned. This v11 is my 6th EUC, I just love it! Soon you'll want a big wheel and a small wheel to complement your v11 :)

@@TechNCyclingNerd Yes! Do It! I'm still learning, I ride to work 4 miles each way in the suburbs now, but it took a lot of patience and practice, diligence with safety gear(you will fall). I rode hoverboard first and gained confidence in that device. I hope you take on the challenge of EUC, you won't regret it and you are still so young! Ride On!

Again, I truly believe that a very reasonable preparation for learning EUC is to get the cheaper Hoverboard and the safety gear, learn to ride that safely inside your house then outside and you'll have experience with the forward facing stance and being 5 or 6 inches off the ground. The V5F I started on has its pedals only about 6 inches from the ground. You learn to trust and control the device. Then you get the EUC but you also adjust your expectations realizing it will be more difficult however totally doable and worth it! Even after successfully free mounting the small wheel several times it was often still like a total act of faith because I didn't have greAt confidence till I practiced a lot.

I did injury my left shoulder in May 2022 when I wiped out in the middle of a quite street early in the morning on V5F with no cars around and then again in 2023 wiped out after some wobbles on V11 at the end of a 30 mile ride which resulted in a huge saddlebag ( rear hip thigh area) bruise. All things considered-they are small costs as compared to the joy of riding. I hope everyone trys EUC- but it's not for the faint of heart or those with brittle bones.

Random downhill bike helmet with Rockstar energy drink logos all over it that I picked up at a thrift store for 30$- taped a USB rechargeable bicycle light onto the back ( it's a little large so I wear a thick knit hat under it. I also have a motorcycle helmet with windshield for colder weather-for 50$ of the correct size thrifted as well.

Also I took the light off the front of the helmet and have just one red light on back-I wear the white light on my backpack strap facing the front

Thank you for getting back to me. I just bought a full face motorcycle helmet but I feel like I am trapped inside of it and it is pretty hot inside if I am standing still. On yours it looks like it is more open in the front and I want to get one of those. Thank you for telling me about your lights because I want to do that too for more visibility at night. I am 61 and have been only riding for about 2 months so I’m sorry if I ask a lot of questions. Mark

@@EUC_Senior Thats great, I agree about it being scarry- I rode my regular V11 in my back yard at first so I could purposely " dump" it in the grass and not cause damage right away. Definitely took months and months of conditioning to get good at it and be fully in control of it....constant vigilance - it's still a beast to lift into the truck to take it anywhere! All worth it. I hope you find someone to take interest in your V5F.

Thanks ! It's funny you should say that because I'm pretty sure that all the you tubers I follow and who helped get me into this are over 25, like Wrong Way, Freshly Charged, Hsaing,Marty, Dawn Champion, the Black Cobra, Duf. Coqui Robertson, Go George Go and many others too. The thrill is real- yesterday I reached 2000 miles on the V11 riding it to and from work. I'm proud of myself for not buying another new wheel yet with so many great new designs out there. I need to upgrade my safety gear if I ever invest in a heavier / faster wheel. What do you ride?

I am determined to see just how many miles I can rack up on the V11 before something breaks ( 1950 miles as of today), gave my V5F to someone else so they can learn without worrying about the expense. The V11 is still heavy for me to cart around up and down stairs and in and out of my truck!

@HeaveHoEUC I love the determination. Yes weight can make a big difference. I got my 12 year old the begode falcon. At only 55lbs it's the perfect size for him.

I'm not sure what to think about the E - 20 ... If it gets people one more step closer to believing they can learn a "real" EUC then I wish them well- 400$ is better than 700$ but a V5F is much better preparation to ride a V11- I still recommend that people just ride a hoverboard in preparation to ride EUC-that is the journey I took and the transition went well for me.

I don't need any more wheels right now, V11 works, I'm hoping to make a case for it's practicality so I'm hoping it lasts a long time!!

Thanks for watching and commenting. We took a family vacation to WA, visiting national parks years ago, beautiful state! I wish I could convey to people just how wonderful riding EUC is, but I also think it's good to make sure people get a realistic view of what they are getting themselves into.

Thanks for your comment, EUC's inspire creativity. Unfortunately for me that one scene from The Incredibles animated movie about "No Capes!" has stuck with me but it seems to work for you - I am also wearing two white and two red flashing lights in addition to the lights on the wheel itself. Also wearing white and purple backpack definitely gives me a little added substance. I appreciate your content as I have no EUC in person community. Ride On!

I'm at work now, conveniently I wear the bright vest because I work moving carts in a huge parking lot with people coming and going all the time so that piece of gear literally pays for itself. Last piece of gear is my hand mirror which I rubber band to two of my fingers and hold loosely and move as needed.

Since I can wear half my gear while working, my return trip takes a little less prep. Thanks for sharing your experience. It used to be very frustrating to remember to put the gear on in the right order and have everything in one place to start but I learned even though I'm old!!!

@@HeaveHoEUC 🙏🙏

That's great, I hope you are fully geared up. Sounds like you haven't crashed yet, I'm very happy for you! Some reactions I have had" that looks so futuristic" " you look like a spaceman". Whenever possible I ride in low traffic and in the early mornings - the V11 is about 60 pounds which is still a beast to drag up and down a few steps. Wear your safety gear God is Good, Ride On!!

@HeaveHoEUC hey amen sistah!!! Ride on!!! I certainly have already fallen and got a small fracture for being too confident. It's already almost healed up but I kept riding while I had it because I just enjoyed it that much. I couldn't stop myself. Admittedly, I would have done it differently if I could do it again, but I love that I've gotten so comfortable and so much more vigilant and safe since it happened.

@@HeaveHoEUC also I do need to get gear.

It seems you are much younger than me, I learned the V5F when I was 53 years old and I started on hoverboard a year before that, I face planted on hoverboard with just the cheap set of wrist, knee and elbow protection and a good regular bike helmet on and was happily uninjured. I have had only one EUC crash that made me rethink whether to continue riding it or not ( huge bruise on left hip) but no broken bones. The exhilaration factor helped me decide to keep going but to be super cautious about wearing my gear, being well rested, and making better decisions on my longer rides. Please wear the gear- full face helmet as the minimum- you only have the one body! Thanks for you comments, hopefully you are not AI, I haven't heard of anyone pick up EUC so fast that they were riding gearless in traffic at 3 weeks.... 😂

@HeaveHoEUC I am most certainly not AI and I'm 33 years old. And yes I adjusted to this v10 and learned very quickly because I was riding every day and very confidently aggressively learning, which is why I fell like 5 times, 1 of which resulted In a very minor fracture in my arm. I also have been riding on skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, and bikes all my life. I take your advice. You sound like my mother, which I appreciate. Except, she begrudgingly accepts that she can't stop me from riding. She'd throw my wheel out if she didn't respect and love me.

Thanks for your comment- I'm taking the sexy out of EUC's - but I hope people think"if that old wrinkly Momma can learn to ride one maybe I can too!"

Thank you for your comment. I wish I could make great ride videos like you have, but I am not comfortable holding a big camera stick while riding!! Ride On EUC Brother!

@@HeaveHoEUC 🙏 your vidéo have it own style, you can use a go pro or DJI action cam and put it on your backpack shoulder, helmet or chest ( I love chest mount because it is easy to access)

Thanks for your informative comments. My V11 still feels super heavy to get up stairs into the house where I keep it in the laundry room, someday when it's on its last legs battery wise I could see myself trying a wheel with a little more power and range so that I can take the next step to riding between 25-28 mph whereas now I ride mostly 18-22 mph. If I ever go faster than that I want to invest in a suit complete with airbags.

@@HeaveHoEUC yeah stairs definitely suck to deal with on heavier eucs. I added some concrete pavers to my back porch step so I can just roll up to the door but am strongly considering a front porch ramp to roll the euc up. It is really nice to go as fast as you could ever want with tons of headroom on both power and range. I often cruise in the high 20s to mid 30s, it feels very comfy on v13.

You are welcome, It works for me because my commute to work is only 6 miles round trip so one charge potentially gets me through the whole week, but riding slower the last day is a bit of a drag.

Thanks for your helpful tips and kind comments! This video was May 1st 2022- I was on the V5F- I did a low speed wipe out and landed funny in the middle of a vacant quiet residential road on a Saturday morning which caused some long term shoulder pain- but after 2 years it rarely bothers me- weird weather and sleeping on it wrong still brings pain- the setbacks help me remember to be more careful and cautious. I have postponed indefinitely my V11 seat installation and learning seated riding but I appreciate the sound advice for secure application. What are some of the best reasons to learning seated riding, does it enhance the EUC experience very much? I find it difficult to contemplate learning to ride backwards either...

Yeah it's a mess, it's about the trials of owning and riding an Electric Unicycle. But, it's all worth the trouble - they are an absolute Dream to ride!!!!

There is a bike shop not too far from me that was selling One Wheels a couple years ago so maybe they would be willing.. I should go check them out.

Update: I used a little elbow grease and relatively easily pushed the dime out with a wooden spoon handle- no need to spray any weird substances on it, also I put the old pads back on- they work fine and the Elegant Serene Sleek Silent Revolution Machine is back on the road- took it for a low speed parking lot spin during my lunch break- The weather here was too windy at quitting time to ride it to work and back but I threw it in the car with my safety gear- ( everything except the chest and back protector)

Thanks for your comment! Of course it's a little risky- that's why we wear safety gear kids! But Disaster? No, a tornado is a disaster, and sometimes my hair in the morning looks like a disaster but wipeouts on EUC are more like the few bicycle wipeouts I've experienced....scrapes and bruises if you wear the gear Full face helmet wrist guards, knee pads elbow pads and.chest and back protection.

Feel free to remind me!! I ride to church sometimes ua-cam.com/video/LniHU_1abog/v-deo.html Thanks for watching, commenting and encouraging me in the faith- Do you follow EUC Family?!! They are Jesus Followers as well- Ride On brother!

I'm so glad to know you are out there! Interestingly , it seems to me that EUC inspires me to find a way to balance all my life's interests so that now that I have done the hard work of learning it, I can put it in a good place in my life that is NOT the Center and I think to myself" I should find out what other people are into and I might learn even more great things and then if they ask me about my interests i can tell them about EUC!
