Nice video. Just got one of these. Have a Ninebot Z10, but figured it might be better to learn on something a bit tamer. Like the 2 tire configuration. We shall see. I just turned 60.
Thanks Bruce, wishing you best of luck on your EUC journey! Take your time and don't give up. Expect some small scrapes and bruises but it's worth it in the long run! Let me know how you are progressing. I started and learned when I was 63 by the way. You can do this!
I am seriously thinking about getting one even though my wife says, "No!". I'm only 82 years old and so I believe I'm still young enough to learn to ride a unicycle, even if it's only on an E-20. When I asked her how many years she thinks I'll have to wait until I'm young enough, she wouldn't answer.
Nice job, I'm 57, still quite athletic and this is something I've been considering . I was concerned it may have past me up even though in the past I had been an avid mountain biker but this looks like something I may try. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks! I was 63 when I decided to learn how to ride and my only regret is that I did not start sooner. I missed out on all that riding. 😀I am now 65 and still riding and loving it. Last month we took a 109 mile ride! The guy learning in the video is a little older than I am! I hope you take the plunge and give it a go, and thanks for watching!
Wow, one of the best progressive learning videos that I have seen. Really encouraging. I'm 52 and really want to venture into the EUC world. Still haven't figured out how to start. I was thinking of starting with the E20 but I don't want to have to buy another wheel shortly afterwards if it goes well like you did. I want to buy a wheel that I can learn on and will last me for a while. I'm looking at the Inmotion V10F, I like the Begode Falcon and the Begode A2. I wanted to stay around max $1500 too (I know the Falcon is currently $1699). I don't know. Any way keep up the good work.
I fully understand your thinking of not wanting to buy a second wheel. I was of the same mindset when I decided to give this a try. Let me say the E20 is certainly not required, one can learn to ride just fine on any of the excellent beginner wheels out there. The nice thing about the E20 is it can be a great learning tool for anyone else in the family (I'm thinking Grandkids) that wants to give it a try AND it can be used to learn to ride seated or backwards when you have progressed to that level. It is not terribly expensive, and I find it fun to zip around in my driveway to try new things when I don't have time to go for an extended ride. If you were to dive in and wanted to purchase only ONE wheel, I would suggest one of the 16-inch wheels "with" suspension that is on the lighter side. It will make learning a bit easier for you but after you are up and riding you will still enjoy riding that wheel for many many miles. I learned and loved my 16X but wish it had suspension. Although I have not personally ridden the Begode Falcon or the King Song S16 Pro, I would think either one would be great to learn on. The Inmotion V10F would suit you just fine to learn on but I would suspect that after you learn and are out making longer rides you would wish it had suspension. For me, and my 65-year-old knees suspension is worth every penny!! I have my first three learning sessions posted on my channel if you want to see how I got started in this fantastic sport! There are lots of videos out there showing how people got their start. Thanks for watching my friend and I sure hope you give it a GO!!!!!!
I'm 80. Just got this and 2nd day riding around neighborhood. For 400 bucks it's worth it as a training wheel for friends and family. Never mastered my Inmotion V5F this is a real confidence builder. Just do it!!
The question is, does the E20 help learn to ride a conventional EUC? I'm hoping yes, but this video is saying NO. What do you say? Does this guy end up riding the Kingsong?
Hi Bob, I feel the answer to your question is "yes" it does help in learning to ride a conventional EUC. Here is a link to a video showing him on some of his first longer runs on the King Song 16XS. ua-cam.com/video/ZMzpfuT4YP8/v-deo.htmlsi=Oz7tgSia4IEkxiyj And another session is being uploaded this very minute of his next session showing obvious progress on the King Song 16XS. He has been practicing on his own over the last couple of weeks and just yesterday he reported he was able to ride 3.6 miles on his own. I hope to connect with him later this week and do some more video of his progress and I will be certain to share that video when I get it stitched together. Cheers!
I'm no expert on these wheels but I would start at looking at the app on your phone and make sure that your tilt angle didn't get changed by accident and is set at 0 degrees. Also maybe check the calibration. Maybe contact Inmotion and see what they recommend? Hope you get is squared away.

@@wntofly Thanks! I see it clicked!
I bought this and it's locked tilting backwards after 2 days of use
any tips in how to fix it?
