Thanks! this is the only video you need to learn. I got my EUC on Monday, and by Wed I was doing laps in my shop, and by Friday I was outside and riding.
The dominant leg is usually the leg that you put on the EUC pedal..You then kick off with your non dominant leg..just like you would on a skate board or kick scooter. This is absolutely the first time I have ever heard anyone suggest putting you non dominant foot on the EUC pedal first.
I totally agree. The dominant leg has to be on the EUC, that's the one that keeps it tight, able to maneuver it with ease. The other one stays on the ground when stopped.
Not for everyone…. My dominant leg is the right one and I prefer to kick off with it on a skateboard… the only thing that bothers me with the euc is that it is heavy so I am tempted to use my right leg to control it but at the same time I am more comfortable to push while having my left leg on the pedal…. at the end of the day beginners should just experiment and choose what suits them best.
Huh? Most skaters use the rear foot to stabilize and push (which is their dominant leg/foot). If your stance on a skateboard is "regular" the left foot is forward and right foot is rear. Most push off with right unless they are pushing "mongo" which is not typical/considered by some a bad habit.
I can’t wait to try this. My first EUC gets to me in 3 days. I was skeptical about the dominant leg on the ground but it makes sense coming from a OW where my dominant leg is the “dismount” leg. Great video.
@@rashad4333 I’m definitely the exception but with his advice on how to start, I was up in 30 min riding. I LOVE it. I got the V12. It didn’t replace my OW but it is definitely a different super fun ride. No regrets🤙🏽
@@Obi_Wanwheel not entirely exception(altho some ppl are just better at physical things), just a good method. probably trains the muscle memory way faster with a controlled method like this vs random trial and error
Thanks for the video. I have met a couple riding those devices today. They were so passionate about that. I cannot resist temptation to buy one...just being a bit scared...the video was very cool.
I've ridden motorcycles forever. My right leg is dominant kicking a ball or starting a stride. But, I have to use my left leg on the EUC. I think it's because I have trained and strengthened that leg to hold and balance weight at a stop for 40 years. My right isn't strong enough to fine control the wheel without a lot of practice. My left did it naturally the first time. Left foot on right foot shove offs are smooth. Right foot on left foot shove offs are sketchy af. So sometimes it is backward for some people.
Great video! The helmet is definitely a must, at the bare minimum you should be wearing an nta helmet like xnito or bern, but full face helmets are always recommended
its always been painful to see 10-20 minute videos talking about the exact same points you mention. so thanks a lot for keeping it to the point and simple!
I ride a V8f now. Feet bottoms are vary sensitive feels like raw nerves. Do you think soft shoes are best, looks like thats what you wear. I'm 74 so i might just be feeble but i love to ride. Follow the fun.
Pro video, Excited to try it out. I will use these tips you suggested. Coming from motorcycle back ground ill just apply Look up and it goes where you look.
So I just got my v11 today, applied the standing technique, head up with the wheel around me left and right. This really gives you a feel and weight of the machine. Got a bit dizzy but that's all part of the game. Overcame the fear of falling and leaning into it and the more you lean the more speed you get and the more stable it becomes. 20 minutes later riding fully independent. Can't wait to see what I'm like after a month. Once they become sub conscious for where you put your feet, and your body learns the balance. This video is excellent and really made a difference.
@@jc84com , you have the right description here..being a motorcycle rider, you know that your body makes the balance by the brain connection everybody has. Technically: there is a moment, when counter steering sets in..like with a kickstep, bicycle and motorbikes. This happens later when the size of the object is bigger.( as you know by now, EUC's have this point at walking speed) Looking forward and not down to the wheel, makes your brain switch from what it reasons by sight first (as we think usually:-) to the automatic balancing by the brain later. The sooner we give room for the brain to react, the quicker we get balanced out. = blindfolded and a friend to walk next to you, you might learn it in two minutes= What do you think Julian?
@@ThomiX0.0 yeah I will test this out with a friend. I have also noticed. Hip.knee.ankle strength plays a major factor. So many people are not fit and this makes balancing extremely difficult and a much longer learning curve for the body to build the muscles. plus they become tired much faster.
Yeah I thought about this too. I learned to push with my dominate leg on a skateboard because it’s stronger. So whatever feels more comfortable I guess! Thanks chris.
I agree with Yves Cindy. This is the first and only time I have heard it suggested that the dominant leg should be on the ground. I have alway ridden with my dominant leg on the wheel and non dominant on the ground when mounting or dismounting.. Ultimately, do what feels most natural to you.
@@Bunkysworkshop Wow, need to try this. I tried with dominant leg on the wheel first and kept falling once I got on with both legs...can't seem to be able to stabilize on the wheel for more than a second T__T
@@sikfreeze relax and just keep trying. It will happen. Watch a couple of videos on how to mount and dismount. The one that worked for me is the hop on and off fast. There is a video on it.
Well I been practicing with my right leg on the wheel first and mounting with the left. Now I get I have to try using the left on the wheel and mounting with the right.
I almost feel like the thicker width ones would be easier. I got the v8s today. 30 mins in...I won't be one of those one day learners unless something clicks. Lol. Pray for me lol.
whys is this video 4:30 mins long for a learn in 2 min video 🤔 I learned with the dominant leg on the EUC, you want to be able to control it better. The weak leg should be on the ground, it's not moving or going anywhere.
Dude the moment it clicks is so universal. Just seeing the look on peoples face when they can relax into it is such a satisfying feeling.
Thanks!

My right leg is my dominant leg, but I simply cannot start with my right foot on the pedal.

Skated for decades and would kick with my dominant. Meens my non-dominant is on the board first.
1 min and 20 seconds in this is the best learn to ride video thx. ❤
Great video. The hardest part for me seems to be mounting. Thanks
Thanks! It's my first day learning to ride a EUC
I can’t wait to try this. My first EUC gets to me in 3 days. I was skeptical about the dominant leg on the ground but it makes sense coming from a OW where my dominant leg is the “dismount” leg. Great video.
How did it go, did you enjoy it I’m thinking of getting one to

@@0xsergy 😂 You literally said “not an exemption” and then said “although an exemption” but with different wording. Thank you? 🤷🏽♂️
yes.. good work on this.. i understand your 2 min video... - people watch for 2 mins.. practice for 30 mins to 4 hours.. good stuff
Thanks!
Thanks for keeping it short and informative. Your friend seems to have learned really fast!

about to order a v11. this video was so practical thanks
Thanks David!
@@CarterMasonYT hey would it be okay to get the v13 for beginner?

really need to add mounting and dismounting.. that was the most difficult .. add this to your next video and it would be perfect..
I agree

Thank you. I am from Moscow by the way. Thats exactly how I'll start
I'm inspired to get one and start riding! I'm also working on my shoelace speed 00:15
Hahahaha 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥they are so fun!!!
The timer in the top right is an eyesore

That’s awesome! The shoes I wear are soft up top but have decently hard soles. (Softer than boots but harder than running shoes)
Many thanks, I’ll try it out.
First time that I see the dominant leg being the one on the ground. Need to try that
Yeah I find it much easier for my dominant leg to be the one that I'm hopping up from when mounting.
Barefoot shoes are the best. Steel tip toes are good too.

@@jc84com , isn't that just becouse in the first days, you kind of fight the unbalance?
@@ThomiX0.0 once you overcome the fear of falling. The machine will always pick you up. Have trust.
dominant leg on the EUC first. like a skateboard.
Yeah I thought about this too. I learned to push with my dominate leg on a skateboard because it’s stronger. So whatever feels more comfortable I guess! Thanks chris.
@@CarterMasonYT I started learning with my dominant leg on first, but now that I’m comfortable I typically mount goofy let’s call it haha.
Not everyone skateboards the same either.
I tried for the 1st time today but didnt know the dominant leg was the leg on the ground. Will try this tomorrow.
Dominant leg is the one on the EUC.
I agree with Yves Cindy. This is the first and only time I have heard it suggested that the dominant leg should be on the ground. I have alway ridden with my dominant leg on the wheel and non dominant on the ground when mounting or dismounting.. Ultimately, do what feels most natural to you.
We just got the v11 and only have been trying for an hour. I will try again with your video in mind and see what happens.
@Andrei Petunin eucs dot uk Absolutely 👍. Lots of riding time. Just working on mounting and dis-mounting. A little tricky.
@Andrei Petunin eucs dot uk That’s what I’m doing now. I will make it but for now it’s like trying to walk for the first time.

wow that was quick!
Very helpful thanks
hahah WTF, I've been riding since 2016 and my dominant leg always goes on first! WHy would I do it the other way?
that was quick! nice trainer
Well I been practicing with my right leg on the wheel first and mounting with the left. Now I get I have to try using the left on the wheel and mounting with the right.

I got the sherman s. I cant even hold it with one leg. It is so heavy. I just ride around my apartment from wall to wall)))
lifesaver :D Thanks
How to set the suspension and tire pressures during the learning period on the V11
Other good riders instruct to put dominant leg on the pedal. Which one is better finally ?
Hmm I’m not sure. I guess whatever feels more natural. My friend and I found it way easier to push off the ground with our dominate leg
Its similar to.....Which foot do you kick with when skate boarding ? Different strokes for different folks.
Thank you
Great video
Thanks 😊
🔥
Great video 👌
WTF. great sensei!
I'm still having trouble stopping. I always want to just jump off. 😰
You’ll get it!!💪💪
Try squatting down when you want to stop, so you but is pointed back, that will slow you down very fast, then you can just step off.
I have a 16s and its so hard to keep balance on it due to thin wheel
Sick!
i think your dominant leg is actually reversed. nice vid!
I need someone to sneak up behind me & push me to figure it out lol. I'm right handed & assuming my right leg is the dominant one.
Yea…. It then again I’m very left handed and my dominant leg is my right one!!
I'll try with my dominant on the ground all other videos were saying the opposite
Don't you think we should know how the things accelerate? Like where's the gas pedal?
Good ^^*
HELMET!!!!
Why no ankle protection
I tried to do the one leg riding to start. But my euc falls and spin right away from my foot. I can't ride it 💀
Hahaha probably not the easiest way to start!!
Short.....Nice. Not sure why creators need to take 20 min to explain a simple concept.
I never got past going back and forth while holding on to the rail. I don't believe anyone can learn to ride this fast.
The only way to learn this in under 2minutes is if youre dreaming and a whole week can pass but its actually been a few seconds in the real world.
He's confused lol
I spent one month to learn.
whys is this video 4:30 mins long for a learn in 2 min video 🤔
I learned with the dominant leg on the EUC, you want to be able to control it better. The weak leg should be on the ground, it's not moving or going anywhere.
No u wanna have Ur dominant foot on the device first!!!
How the fuck does this thing move? Is there a remote? Is it pedal actuated?
I think this video was confusing??
Smaller than it appeared in the photo
Highly doubt this guy learned on his first time in 15 minutes
I'm losing balance😭😭😭😭
Oh come on! It is impossible to actually learn to ride euc for 2 minutes. At least it takes 15 in the very best case scenario.
Thank you
Great video
Thanks!
