    I suppose this is 5 years old, but it is refreshing to come across one that isn't "Learn to ride in 10 minutes!" I appreciate the methodical adding of small skills in small steps and the building of muscle memory doing it. Tracking my first EUC as it comes across the Pacific - excited to join the fun, but this looks like a solid way to get up and going!

    Thank you so much for this, I followed your video and now can ride my new EUC. I start from 0, it's my really first time. I did 5 sessions of 1 and half hour each, following your tips. 3 inside my house and next two times outside in a private road. Now I can ride and turn too. Probably the best training course on UA-cam 😁

  • @chodkowski01

    What helped me a lot was learning about the principal of physics behind the wheel. If you look up gyro and wheels, speed will help you balance the wheel, but the first thing you have to gain is the confidence and trust in yourself and the wheel. I seen in the beginning guys always cut their heel from jumping off the front and the wheel catching their heel. I started jumping off the back because the wheel has forward momentum. Next I padded up really well and that gave me the confidence of not getting hurt. My problem was the fear of falling, once I gained confidence in the wheel that fear went away. U-Stride has the best learning videos out their along with Duff. 👍

I know the 100 v wheels have the speed. I would like to see a 100 v, 2.5 w motor with a decent size battery capable of speeds of 45 mph. They are already pushing scooters to 50 mph. Let’s see what 2019 brings.

    I have been in the house exclusively since the beginning of the pandemic. I live in a backwards area where a lot of people aren’t vaccinated.
    So, I have an electric uni for more than a year but haven’t been outside except 1 time to learn to ride it. I watched your video again as it was the first ‘How To’ video I watched. I’m totally vaccinated and will be going out to conquer the EUC. And watching this video many more times. It will be more difficult because a heavy steel garage gate hit me in the head and affected my balance and caused seizures 😬. I’m somewhat wobbly from time to time. I am having a total shoulder replacement surgery because I tore my rotator cuff in a fall. Thanks 🙏 for your video, again. 👍☮️🌞🛞❤️

    Thanks. Thank you U-Stride because not making it look so easy. Because in this way I prepare myself to persevere. In other videos they say that it is very easy to learn to ride the wheel, and it is not true (for some) then if I do not do it as quickly as they do, I give up. In other videos that seem so easy for them I feel sad because I do not may l. But you make it look like something that needs a lot of practice and perseverance. So I do not abandon my wheel and continue in my slow learning task. Not all of us have the same skills

    It was this channel that talked me into buying an EUC. It was one of these videos that claimed the KingSong 16s was a good beginner EUC. I happen to agree. But to be fair, the KS-16s is all I know. I have the app set the EUC to beginner mode. My tire pressure is down a little bit. With the instructions in this video, I am doing OK. At the ripe age of 58, I have be a little extra careful, so yes I have All the safety gear; even in the school yard playground. I am still working on my foot control and have tasted a few feet of free victory here and there. I will get complete victory and I can't wait for the fun to begin.

    @beyondfossil 5 років тому +2

    This is the best tutorial so far that I've seen of dozens of videos. The fine details and exercise tips is much appreciated. I will be saving this one.
    I have ridden hoverboards over the years. When I first got my first hoverboard in 2015, I thought the thing was broken as it didn't work like how I saw in the videos -- but it was just me. LOL. So the hoverboard took maybe a day or two to learn to be able to ride. Now its the most natural thing and I use my hoverboards all around the garage and driveway just for errands, chores and for fun. Seriously, I used my hoverboard to work on my fence & gate, re-organize my garage and move boxes in and out during my house move!
    Question: How much does hoverboard riding experience translate to the electric unicycle riding though? Anyone with experience on both vehicles care to comment? I'm guessing that my muscle memory for the sensitivities of forward-back (pitch) control for acceleration/stopping will translate over. But, of course, the unicycle can lean (roll) which the hoverboards cannot do because of their fixed lateral two wheels. So we can see already that the unicycle has another primary axis of control that needs to be learned.
    Also, is it possible to balance while stationary with an electric unicycle while waiting for a red light? Standing still is super easy on a hoverboard. Then the hoverboard can pirouette in-place and turn all around 360º with little effort which makes chores around the garage nearly effortless even in tight cramped spaces.

    I got a inmotion v5f yesterday and thanks to your videos and some others (but yours was a big help video as Conditioning is key!) i was able to ride my v5f in less than 5 minutes! and done 30 minutes of riding in a car park at 12 at night lol it was also wet as it was snowing yesterday. i couldn't believe i was riding the thing as it was scaring the hell out of me before and now i just want to get back out and ride!
    The big factor that let me get on a ride so easy was conditioning my legs in my room by getting on and off it and practising balance in 2 meters of space for a few minutes at a time.
    Great videos and keep them up! I should be making one of me riding it soon on my channel.

    • @UStride
      @UStride  5 років тому

      That's awesome man. Conditioning is essential to riding even as an expert. But Yeah that's awesome, so happy you learned so quickly. You must have had some prior conditioning. Yeah it is surprising once you start riding the wheel for more than several feet. It's almost Surreal. But I'm very happy for you. Keep it up and happy riding. Stay safe (wear the wrist guards and helmet off-course as you're still in the beginning stages, plenty of room for error and painful lessons). Good work

I kept trying to just jump on and ride, thinking my balance would get me through it. Of course, it didn't and I was getting frustrated. But after I was took the advice in your video and started practicing, I was making a lot more progress a lot more quickly than before. You're awesome.

    This video was really useful! I got my wheel Sunday, did some exercises for two hours Monday, and today (Tuesday) after another two hours, something clicked and I was riding up and down a bike path. I still have to get used to mounting/dismounting properly and smoothly, and still have to learn more control before I'll feel comfortable with other traffic.
    Rocking left to right really helped to get a feel for the wheel's weight. One thing I would add, that really worked for me (maybe just because I am learning on the MSX, a bigger wheel than most learners) was going in a squiggly line. I was actually able to do this before going straight, as it helped me feel how to get the wheel back in balance if it was tipping too far one way or the other. My wide and erratic turns became smaller and smaller until I could control the wheel and keep it in a straight line.

    Went for my first ride on the tesla today. I was really paranoid about binning the wheel on hard ground ($$$) so I decided to find the flattest grass I could and ended up at a soccer field. Bonus was that some of the goals were small and low so I was able to go from one side of the goal to the other while hanging onto the crossbar. I just kept going around the goal doing that while relying less and less on grabbing the crossbar. Once I could make it from one side to the other without grabbing the crossbar I moved to the field and worked on stepping onto the wheel with nothing to hold onto. After that just worked on trying to make it a few feet, then further then further. Once my foot and ankle muscles started to adapt and my staibility improved, I tried on the pavement. I think because the grass was not prefectly smooth and my stabilizing muscles really got a workout, once I got onto the pavement it felt alot easier and I was able to start cruising fairly quickly. I ended up riding about 3 miles non stop and got up to around 20mph. It was fantastic!! I still really need to work on handling the wheel at slow speeds and making sharp turns but I'll work on that next time I'm on the wheel. Thought about some of the steps throughout this video and they helped so thanks for making it! Can't wait to get back on the tesla!

I picked the gotway Tesla 16" I can ride a regular unicycle so maybe that will help with my learning curve. Can't wait to get it. Hey thanks for the videos. Steve from mass.

    I’m a fairly confident rider now but prior to learning I only found one or two videos where the person knew how to teach the essential skills. Fortunately, I knew I needed those basics and kept looking until I found them. This video is spot on and essential viewing to any newcomer and is a complete introductory skills tutorial. Which reminds me, I need to learn to ride backwards! Excellent job!

    • @UStride
      @UStride  5 років тому

      Thanks man. I'm glad you didn't quit. I also have to learn backwards as well. It's pretty cold here in NE so I have very little motivation to go outside lol. later for sure. What wheel do you own?

      @rogerunderhill4267 5 років тому +1

      U-Stride After splashing for a V10, there is no way I was gonna quit! Fortunately I could get a good deal here in Shenzhen, and the V10 hit the price/performance sweet-spot. I’m 100kg and have big feet so the 1800W, large pedals and price gave it the edge over all other wheels 5400rmb is probably about 850usd. It’s a balmy 27C here in China so I’ll be going out very soon :) This video was particularly interesting for me as I have been thinking of putting together a video on stretches to do prior to riding as well as feeling awareness of the pressure on the parts of the feet and whether there is more pressure on one foot and/or one calf than the other. I think this could also be helpful for beginners.

      @@rogerunderhill4267 $850us amazing. Yeah the V10 is a great wheel, I just didn't think it was a great wheel for the price here in the USA @1299, but yeah minus the price, it's a great looking wheel and has good specs on paper. Glad you like it. Always liked inmotion wheels (jut no their price all the time :))
