- Hey there,
Riding EUC in the winter is definitely a challenge in most places around the world. So in this video I'm gonna talk about how i prepare myself to ride EUC in the winter to stay warm and safe.
With multiple layers of clothing, safety gear and materials for visibility!
How do you prepare yourself for riding in the winter? Let me know in the comments!
Big thanks to @eevees, as they have made this video possible by sponsoring it!

Ahhh the animated tiny Monocats with warm clothing and holiday lights where very much on point! 10/10 🐱
As someone who relies a lot on my bike to get places, I feel like harsh winter weather is very much "hard mode" for both rider and gear. Looking forward to see what that means for preparing your EUC, cause I always imagined they are just not usable when ice and snow start to appear.
EUC with correct tyre grips winter roads well
Silk base layers are wonderful in the snow. Silk breathes well, drys fast and doesn't stink like synthetics.
hey show off, not all of us can afford that kinda stuff!
@@greenwave819 Silk base layer should cost no more than $30 for both top and bottom... and 1 pair lasts 4-5 years so it's frugal- not a luxury. Seriously, I live below the poverty line and cheap out on used gear exclusively but if you want to ride in the Alpine zone, silk is worth every penny.
I get gear with a high % of Merino wool. It keeps you warm, breathable, thin and dries quickly, but it does cost a little more.
Sitting here trying to keep cool (because it is Summer) but watched anyway :D
Haha, thank you for watching regardless! At least you’ll be well educated once winter comes around :P
I should have asked you for a autograph when you took us for a ride to test the new Inmmotion Climber :)
What a great quality of sound and video of your material, I love it!
Your videos are getting much better! The intro in this one was especially good. Thanks for the tips on staying warm!
For a brief second when you presented the pinlock I thought I saw WW...nice good video
looking forward to the EUC care in Part 02
The best base layer I’ve found, )))my opinion((( and I work in north western Alaska-(67°34'39.8"N 164°03'25.1"W)with some frequency is a merino wool blend. It insulates like a champ and when you sweat it still keeps you warm even when it’s damp and doesn’t get stinky due to the natural properties of wool. It isn’t cheap BUT, the added expense is worth it to me.
Great Video monocat!
(as always…)
Nice one, Kate!
watching from Winnipeg, will be getting my EUC soon! :)
Great video, all of these ideas are pretty universal to other firms of micro mobility. My girlfriend rides an ebike in Syracuse, NY so i shared it with her.
Awesome animations!
Great video! Love the camera work and editing. Very informative, I have to look into those reflective pants that I can wear on top of my suit pants. I've been looking into better winter gear since its been unusually cold in NYC. Keep up the great work!
GREAT video Kate! So thorough and clear. I have never seen such a comprehensive and cheerful tips video. Good going.
This is a wonderful video series. Looking forward to the next one
Awesome video!!😎 thanks Kate!!🙏
Thanks for the informative video, I'm looking forward to your next one regarding the EUC itself. I've got a 16x and would love to ride it in winter but I can't afford to damage it while doing so (water intrusion, fried board, etc).
Very good and as always clear, concise and well presented. Many thanks 👍
I carry a heated rock 🪨 🔥
Great job 🎉
As an old biker, breath in with the nose and out with lips overlapping ( blow down of course)😊
There were no fancy things on the 80s
Nice to see you again ❤
Thank you!
It seems like some things just don’t change :D
love your voice its so relaxing to listen to.
I used to rollerblade in the snow as a child and I use my mini pro segway in snow/sleet and the were both great, fastest alternatives to walking. So i appreciate this content!
Nice!
Great information been a long time between videos hope you are well happy new year ride safe
Thank you so much for this.
Good info. Thanks! Nice job! 👍🏼
Talking about winter gear, cameras that handle low light conditions well play a important role too, dont you think?
Nice video Kate. Keep up the great work. Happy new year!!!
Very comprehensive as always. Great video. Keep them coming.

Hello Monocat, can you tell the link to buy the flashlights that you mount on the helmet and EUC. Cheers
As a fellow glasses user I feel that struggle 😭. I usually ride with my visor cracked so it still protects my face from the majority of the wind but doesn't allow it the visor to fog up but when I stop or slow down I subconsciously hold my breath to keep my glasses from fogging up while I pull up the visor cause it takes forever for it to to go away
I thought I wasn’t the only one to do this😅 I also often ride with a slightly cracked open visor for that reason. I wish there would be better solutions for this!
Anti fog lens cleaner for your glasses. It helps some.
Do you have links to the clothing you wear?
@monocat. I've been hesistant to ride an EUC in winter especially when snow comes in, just the fear of sliding because of frosted snow and etc. Do you need to have a specialized wheel in place with spikes on them to get more grip on the slippery snow?
You need a knobby and studs and you're pretty much immune to anything winter can throw at you except maybe a good height of fluffy snow. You should also run lower PSI than usual like around 25-28 and set your wheel to the softest mode you can to avoid wheel freespins and traction loss.
@@JeskaRain Thank you for the informative feedback. Yeah, when winter comes out here, its kinda dangerous cause we're prone to rain showers and abrupt cold temperatures, this causes water to freeze over fast and hardens quickly, making it so slippery even on my slowest run I get freespins and complete loss of traction, making riding very awkward and always on a defensive driving. Soft snow is fine, but ours its just a slip hazard. I never tried installing spiked wheels before, but I'll give it a go. Thank you again Zera! Cheers!
Also, I'd take extra caution to waterproof the wheel as much as possible, since riding in snow is probably even more likely to cause water ingress than riding in rain. And if they use salt in your area, well, it's probably a good idea to wash it off after a ride, just in case.
When you go out, summer, winter, night, day, in rain or in sunshine your image will be of no concern to you at all, obviously. RIGHT!!! That's not the case is it?..... OK my point, matt black may be a very cool image but it's not a particularly safe one. Covered in lights, RGB, reflectors and everything in bright luminous colours might not be very cool (maybe it is), but it is safe. Keep that in mind when you are buying anything to wear on an EUC, and if you can, be a bit more flamboyant in your style, it might save your neck one day :-)
It is "matte black" btw. My name is Matt.
@@matthewearl9824 I stand corrected 🙂
Do you have one pedal in front and other more on the back? Or is just the power pads?
My pedals are the same, just my power pads are set up a little asymmetrical, since I tend to accelerate with my right foot a little more but therefore break with my left foot more 😅
Interesting , think I remember Ustride explaining a favered foot to accelerate?
Hey, you left your door open! Suggestion to end each episode; you saying "here kitty kitty," and show your logo.
Ohhh thanks for pointing it out, that’s why it was so cold at home when I came back xD
That’s for sure one way to end the videos, thanks for the suggestion :)
1:14 That helmet is too large for your head size. You shouldn't be able to move it that easily around your head and face -- there's even a visible gap. It has to fit snug, particularly when new, or it will easily move around your head or even come off in case of an accident. Harder to see about the TSG helmet but it seems a bit too large as well.
You are correct, my „summer“ helmet is definitely to large at this point. When I purchased it, it was fitting snug but over time the padding got flatten out. I’ll not be using it going forward :)
The TSG fits snug as long as I wear a balaclava underneath it. I’d like to have a smaller size, but I already got the smallest one available 😅
I would never ride any PEV on winter at 0C....
It's bad for thr battery, dangerous because of the rain and snow and also very cold since you don't even movie at all for long period of time.
This depends where you living (Vancouver has mostly mild winters) but I definitely agree with you, that if the conditions seem to be too extreme it’s better to stay home or take alternative means of transportation! I’ll talk about this point in my next two videos more in-depth :)
i only get snow if my government activates haarp.... and you dont want to see that much snow
Been rocking the s22 past few weeks in Kelowna was out all morning. I use the same gear as summer except underarmor underwear layer I'm warm except my hands brrr
