- Hey there!
In this video I'm going to talk about what is especially great about EUC that make it a good type of transport in bigger cities and in general!
Next to the everyday struggles of standing in the traffic and looking for a parking spot, I also talk about how it can improve your health!
If that doesn't sound like a great combo in the modern times!

I'm an old guy (69 years) and retired, so an EUC is just for fun. I bought a V8F about 7 weeks ago, have 161 km (100 miles) on it now. I'm mostly riding on a nearby paved bike trail with a lot of curves, inclines, and declines, which is more fun than just a long straight. I left the max speed at 25 kph since I'm just wearing full face bicycle helmet, wrist guards, and knee guards. I would gear up if I was riding at a location where I could comfortably go 30 to almost 35 kph (V8F max speed). I also ride a 2001 Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle, mostly freeway (110 kph), so speed on the EUC is less of an interest for me, but I"m spending much more time on the EUC than the motorcycle, since the EUC is new to me, and I've been riding motorcycles since I was 14 (1966). Your beginner video with Adam was one of the how to ride EUC videos that convinced me I'd be able to learn how to ride an EUC.
wow dude... impressive. You must be very strong at your age.
That’s awesome man enjoy your time! Glad you could experience this new type of sport/transportation/ adventure!
Hello, you encourage me a lot, I am 58 years old and you tell me that with 69 you ride !!! I have 11 years of happiness. Cool !!!
Nice
You got ten years on me. I haven't ridden my motorcycle in over a year now, I just have no interest in it since the EUC is much better for my purposes which is commuting and work. And by work I mean I literally use my wheel for work. :D
Those cat drawings are adorable!
Seated EUC riding is next level for extended range wheeling or when carrying large packages.
in Poland and strange interpretation of road law it make some problems .
Wow! 🤩 Recently there was 0.5k subs and now already 1k! 🥰 Congrats! 😀 👍
Like who actually pat himself or herself on the back :D
Nothing wrong with that lol
Main reason i am commited of getting my EUC is because even public transport isnt perfect. Sometimes i need to run to catch it and at weekends i could well as wait 20-30 minutes until another ones arrives and the work location i need to to go might be only half a mile away (still counts as pretty long walk on foot) and a EUC would close the gap and solve all those annoying travel issues. Also in my free time i can get more freedom, travel around town or ride in the nature which i used to do with my bike, but this time without excausting and sweat.
Well done with your channel Kate, you are an ambassador for EUC transport, and with the likes of Danielle (Creative Nomad) you have the potential to influence policy makers in those countries (like the UK) who are as yet hesitant in legalising this future form of intelligent transport; there are no downsides other than negative interactions with other less considerate or less careful road users, irrespective of their choice of vehicle.
I'm 66 years old and I have the V12 HS.. It does help on my back and legs. Nice workout and fun at the same time. Love euc riding.
Nice video! I would add two more reasons: versatility in multi-modality and the ability to ride slow (like really really slowly). The first because you can easily combine the euc with any other mode of transport (not just public). For instance, I carried my V5F in a backpack on my motorcycle just to have fun in a park 50km away from home. The other reason: riding really slow lets you blend in with pedestrians in crowded city center. You don’t need to scare people off your path like bicycles usually do. It’s a great tool for a more peaceful life in the city.
Its great that you & your partner share the same passion hopefully one day my 1 yr old daughter will join us on a ride in Warsaw. Big up WSR!
As of right now, I use my EUC for fun and exploration! Basically a lot of stress relief 😮💨
I chose the EUC because of its size, being good for climbing, being more active than an electric bike and being more fun. I also plan to do some traveling in the future and use it for commuting and work.
To answer your question Kate, I use my EUC to buy (not too heavy) things, to explore every tiny part of the area I live in, go hiking with friends or a local EUC group. When I worked in the city-center of Rennes (France) I used it to drive to work. I parked the car in the outskirts and made the last ~6km on my wheel. This was the fastest solution compared to public transport and cars.
Great points!! All very true and accurate
One of my favorite reasons for EUC’s is because it’s the most like a extension to your mind and body and every time you move you don’t just push on a button to go faster or break, you get the whole body into it and that makes the ride so much more interesting/ fascinating/ healthy/ and mind bending
I’m sorry but I think EUC’s are the absolute best and will become very popular and I hope so because then competition will grow and amazing new wheels will keep releasing
Who’s stoked for the S20 Eagle!!! Hawhhhhhhh “Eagle noise” lol
totally agree, first vehicle that follows your intent without button, handle bar. etc. I settled for EUC this year after some considerations for escooter , ebike . i m glad i bought euc
@@piethib3440 glad to hear , the massive tires come in handy so much when riding over rough terrain, even the one wheel tire isn’t big it’s just fat and the tail and nose hit hills and drops when riding so I think the EUC is the best of the best in all areas, size/performance, price/performance, speed/torque/motor, and safety , only thing is the safety of the wheel when you crash at high speeds but throwing baby guard wrap or some type of thick substance definitely has helped my wheel but I’ve only crashed once and it wasn’t bad, have crashed 10+ times so the warnings come in handy so much
Keep riding and enjoying the fresh air!
(Crashed 10+ times on The one wheel)
Mi dear Kate I choose EUC for 8 reasons: 1) Pleasure 2) Pleasure 3) Pleasure ... 8) Pleasure...Gracias!! From Medellin Colombia
That's true !
Same. I use my wheel to run errands and go to doctors appointments. I also use it to go meet friends, sometimes to concerts/comedy shows.
Congratulations Kate, over 1.1k subs. Soon 2k.
Good job!
Wheee!
Not equipped with a EUC so far, but from watching your video it feels like they are the for those living in a city^^
Monocat family 🥰😎⚡❤️
Great list! I just purchased my first EUC (V8F) and am enjoying all these benefits now and I can't go back!
Congratulations on your V8F! What’s your favourite benefit so far? :)
@@monocat.1011 no parking! I've been cycling regularly for almost 10 years and having to find a place to lock up and the anxiety of leaving a nice expensive bike somewhere out of sight is the only part I've always hated!
I use my S18 for recreation and my Mten3 for short city errands. I hope to commute soon when the cycle path from my suburb is finished. I have longed for such a practical mode of transport most of my life and I’m so glad it’s finally possible. I used to try to inline skate between part time jobs and back to my car when I was a student and I wish I had a wheel back then. My reasons are the same as yours.
I have Mten3. I love Mten3. I tell you that I have damaged 2 tires against the curbs. Be careful!
I learned to ride earlier this year for commuting purposes, but I ride now for exploration, adventure, and meeting and riding with others for social enjoyment. My 7 year old daughter learned a month after I did, so I also ride with her to spend some quality family time together. We recently had the West Wheel 4 event in the San Francisco area and I was able to meet and ride with a lot of amazing talented riders in different locations each day of the week. My daughter was even able to join in a large group ride in the SF city. I love it!
Hi Kate. I live in the country and ride mostly on paths, trails, meadows and forests, and have a tendancy to ride... savage with my S18.
i am 63 years old. i am using EUC for the last 3 years i have done 15000Km my actual wheel is. S18 i use it all year long even in winter (Canada) , i use it for everything, to go to my job , grocery store, and just for fun of riding it. I am almost not using my car anymore . with just the gaz i save i already paid my wheel
Wow, good for you. Hope my dad starts to use it the same as you. :) How would you describe your mindset when using the EUC for rain and winter? A lot of work to prepare for it, leave wet clothes when at work, etc. or just minor inconveniences?
Greetings from Mexico!!! They are quite difficult to get in my country. And I'm the happy owner of a V11. I can say that I love it. And would really like to see more and more EUC commuters in my country. Actually I think I have the only one in here, haven't known of any riders here. Love your chanels. And I share your videos cause I really want more people to get on this train. Congrats for your great content.
Donde compraste tu V11. man ? yo estoy en Canada y tengo un V11... pero no me lo puedo llevar a Mexico. Quisiera comprar uno allá para cuando voy.
Can't really use it in the UK, but I got a v8 anyway. The police are looking to take it away, especially scooters. I just been past a petrol station as there is a petrol shortage. The cars are queuing like crazy.
Thanks. You and Adam do a great service for the EUC community and I am glad to see a channel from a woman's perspective. I agree with the many pros of the EUC - especially its size in comparison to a performance E-scooter. The scooters can be mammoth. But the one thing that keeps me from riding the wheel more often is all the gear that needs to be worn. There is so much of it to put on and keep track of and when I arrive at my destination, it draws lots of attention. Regardless, I will not get on the wheel without it.
53, saw Wrong Way's videos after I had just learned hoverboard and knew I wanted an euc, I like watching you to get a female perspective, I've had my v5f for 4 months and I am having a great time. One day maybe my kids will try it, husband rides bicycle, I might need to get a bigger faster wheel to join him when he rides his bike.
I’m going anywhere with euc except Costco run and apparently weekend gateway. My errand and job commute are on EUC full time. My Daily commute is 20 miles and it takes me 1hr, which is abt the same if I drive. First I rode Ebike then escooter and now euc. I converted at least three colleagues to pev community. Waiting for my v12 coming around December!
Fun to ride while exercising your balance as well.
I used it for work while owning a big van. I save about $60 dollars per week and I commute about 30 miles/day. Eucs pay for itself.
EUC is the best friend for vanlife.
@@baubelepreux1561 it's the perfect complement since you don't have to drag your big rv or van commuting or you can park far away and ride to your destination in the city or hard to park areas. Essentially you can park anywhere
Great video and very informative. 😊
Great video. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you! Keep up the great work! ✌🏼🖖🏼
I have Begode T3 and I am using it all the time. It is so small and portable, no other device is even close. The power and speed is such a joy to ride! I am using T3 for all city rides and because it has huge battery if it is nice weather I also use it instead of my car for visiting my parents 55 km far from city :). I can use shorter way thru the national park in forest so it is 15km shorter way than by car. Thanks to that it is not too longer time to travel on the EUC :) But now cold and rainy autumn is coming so I will use EUC a lot less I think, not good experience in rain...
I use my V8f to go between home and work nearly every day. Sooo much better than the car!
Going to be ordering my first EUC soon. Loving the channel! 👍🏻
Welcome among wheelers !
Love your vids . I hope you keep your channel up now that you’re in Vancouver!!🤩was awesome to meet you at eevees. Thanks 🙏
Excellent video Cat! 👍🙏. Subscribed! 😎
EUC is the future of mankind.
Pre-corona I used my Inmotion V8 a lot for commuting combined with the train (wheel goes under the seat). Nowadays, I tend to avoid public transport because of the crowds, and use either my bike or my V8 to go the full distance. I notice that the V8's range is sometimes too limited to make certain trips (it can do 20 km max., give or take a few km's), but it's also a lightweight wheel and ideal for quick errands (always door-to-door to bakery/butcher/supermarket/...).
Great video chill euc 😉
Great video!
I'm riding for 3 days on my very first EUC - Veteran Sherman, learned in 1 hour how to go straight, now I'm learning how to do turns and launch myself more stable without vobles. Waiting on my TSG pass full face helmet, so I'm not going faster than 40km/h.
My Nikola AR+ arrives today but the protective cover not until Tuesday 🤯 Might get a little scratchy as I'm learning lol
I started riding a little over a month ago on the Tesla V3. At first it was for something fun and unique to do, however I've found it's very convenient in all the ways you described.
I saw a fellow riding one and started doing heavy research before jumping into it.
Very nice review, ride safe!
Ich fahre mein green monster überall eigentlich ggg... cooles Video... gratuliere für den tollen Erfolg... 1000 follower in 2 Monaten is weltmacht... aber mit Adam an deiner Seite und der tollen Art wie ihr Videos macht war das abzusehen... weiter so taugt ma echt... 🙌🙌👏🤜🤛
Nice!
Very great vidéo ! 🙌👌🔥
Great content! awesome edit and on point information. Sub here for life :) nice work Kate, roll safe.
i love euc but still struggle to commit myself to replace my bicycle as my daily mode of transport and grocery.
i will lose my daily exercise, lost my bicycle carry capacity, the convienience of locking my cheap bicycle outside, and commit to carry the full face helmet around when i switch to euc
hello monocat. thanks for your video. i use my wheel to go to shoppng first, and second just to glide in the landscape ... i have a v8F and i ask if i can replace my pedals by the V11 one with honeycomb holes. do you know that . have you ever seen something like that ? thanks
What are the aftermarket shells you guys have on your Gotway/Begode wheels? They look great!
Hi Kate,
Love your vids and the information you share.
What city do you and Adam live in? It’s beautiful.
Best wishes to you both.
It's safer than a one wheel as well.
FROM TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY !!! YOU GO 1
I can't wait to get my wife riding one. My v11 is in repair and I've got a deposite on the s20 for myself. It is the worst thing ever to go without a wheel. My ebike and escooter are just not the same. 😞
Maybe it would be worth getting something small in the meantime like an mten3 or mcm5?
@@againsthegrainx7556 I did exactly that and got a v8f. And also got my v11 back!
Yep once you go euc ebikes and scooters are meh. I have to say my veteran sherman is even more fun (and safe) that my sportbike.
@@Gideon-300 I agree that it’s way more fun but in what way is it safer? I felt that having two wheels and something to hold onto felt safer to me (speaking of e scooter)
What is the helmet light you are using and why do you sway so much when riding ? Is it more efficient in some way ?
I'm a new rider, so right now it feels like I mostly ride to hurt and humiliate myself. :)
Battery howlong can use and at the way always bring spare battery?
Super cool lady super cool transportation
Hey Kate, great movies. However, the framerate lacks smoothness. There are four skipped frames per second. A little annoying :(
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into that problem :) I’m new to all the video editing, so this feedback is very helpful for me
I am commuting daily to work in Germany. In autum there are always slippery wet leaves on the ground. In winter there is always ice and snow on the bike lane. Will a EUC be able to handle these conditions?
1k in two months 🤩 took me a year
Advantages of being a female with a sweet voice
@@diogo7986 advantages of making amazing content and good quality videos!
@@mr_wrongway I agree too. But you have two admit that females grow much faster on social media, especially if they're cute, as your girlfriend. All the best for you two 🙌
i ride the wheel for 3 years now. will never go back to any other transport option, unless half meter snow falls.
Your voice is fantastic! Wish you were my map-app lady!!
Why oh why in UK are we not allowed to legally use these ......
I like the idea of these but I'm not sure if I can use them because of my ankle being bad but I do want some kind of pev though.
Don't think that it is going to be a problem, just go for suspension models.
But it can be a bit harder for you during the learning period...
very well highlighted the fact that electric unicycles are the most efficient transport.
👍👍👍 But we want the Cat T-Shirts👍👍👍
I wanted a sherman but was steered away because of their quality control with the poor quality control of the rim cracking on the v2. Have you had that issue?
I've had a v2 sherman for over a year and have about 2500 miles on the odometer. I've hit curbs, potholes, crashed at 30mph(my fault for going so fast on a crappy street) and it keeps working no bent rim, no issues. The sherman is a tank. I weigh 160 lbs btw
Eh the only exercise I do on an euc is getting it up 3 flights of stairs 😅
On EUC all good until an engin cut off which is deadly ! So, until that is sorted, I dont consider its the best way.
Trolly handle 😄
which wheel do you use most T3 or Sherman ? Can you live with only Sherman fulltime without your T3 or other smaller wheel.
If the Sherman is available, I usually tend to use it. The Tesla v2 I use mostly if I make short trips, for shopping or if I don’t know if might need to carry it, if I go to a unknown location.
If I’d be strong enough to lift it I could see myself live with only the Sherman or RS19 fulltime.
Tyle betonu w całym mieście , nie widziałeś tego jeszcze :D
Yes and not about parking my EUC, I live in Canada Montreal 🇨🇦 , and we have bike location, you can grab a bike and put away after your trip.
For example, you want to do shopping 🛍, like, buy a short 🩳, it’s hard to have the EUC with you in the shopping. Or an other example, when you go in a pub, it’s not easy to put your EUC in the pub
can you share your thought on Mten3 ? would it be a good investment and where would you use for .
I only tried the Mten3 for a short while, during the time when I learned how to ride Euc. I think for short rides to a convenient store or as a last mile solution it is probably the best, when you want to take it into train with you, or you’ll have to carry it a lot.
I’ve also seen many kids riding on it, so that is also great them.
But for me personally, I wouldn’t use it a lot on a daily basis.
OMG. A girl can so easily handle Sherman. Seems I must cast aside doubts about S20's weight :)
Ever have a Dream you're driving a Cardboard Box ??
Seated EUC is kinda like those dreams. In a good way.
Make your EUC look like a cardboard box and watch people stare in amazement 😂
Can you make a learning video for first time users
Nice video! You mentioned having an injury. Was it an EUC related injury? I'm curious because I am recovering from a broken wrist
Thank you!
I got the injury back when I was doing martial arts and I had an accident during training.
So far I had no injuries from riding euc except some small scratches.
I’m sorry to hear about your broken wrist, I hope you’ll recover soon :)
@@monocat.1011 Thank you keep up the great work and talk to you later
Any thoughts on the new wheels coming out? 🦅🦸🔩🪖
Adam did it.
How do you secure it if you can't take it into a business?
Cancel the business.
////А на варшавській мові відео буде ? Бо я на інглішові мало розумію
Mieepmieeep! 🐈⬛
where are you?
Excuse me for this personal question, are you Polish or do you speak English as a native?
Hmmm, I don't need a helmet and gear and also no electric power to ride through the whole city with my Pinion bike.
its dangerous to ride it, its a foot controlled mono wheel nothing around it that will spare you from a sudden impact unlike Escooter it a steering handle can protect you from an impact
Only if I knew how to ride one of these, ill use it to haul my kids in a trailer
Not everyone can ride euc, some can't even afford it.
Common transport doesn't require helmet and full suit and carring wheel around
For a smaller euc you can do without the full gear if you go no faster than 20km/h and have some experience on the handling. ;)
great video - what model do you ride that you can just pick it up - my is so heavy
