Wow. Checking out this video in 2024. Brought back great memories. Amazing how wheels have changed and the entire sport has gained popularity. Good to know you are still at it, Jimmy.
Your voice in diffusing any possible tension between the onewheel and EUC communities is very helpful. I haven't bought a onewheel yet, but I have love for the community and the device.
I remembered the workouts I used to get when I was learning. enjoy the honeymoon period. Once you master the workouts go away and you realize how effortless it is to go such long distances.
I came back here because I enjoy seeing how far we’ve all come, as I look back at my comments. Now, 2yrs later, my OneWheel is gathering dust and I’m still enjoying the EUC
Good job learning, although you did it the hardest way possible, which is learning to get your second foot onto a pedal into open space. There is a far easier method to learning, which I just happen to teach! Perfect choice for a first EUC--I rode a King Song KS-16S myself for a year, although by then I owned several others. The 16S is comfortably designed, feature filled, excellent quality, the right size, and amount of power to learn and develop your EUC skills. My current favorite wheel is the King Song KS-18XL. If you are getting along well with your 16S, the 18XL is the ideal upgrade, but if you never feel like exceeding the speed of the 16S, you've already got your wheel.
@@freshlycharged It looks like you've sweated it out and gotten over the hardest part of the learning curve already, so you're probably past needing much basic training. I think your extensive Onewheel experience allowed you to learn the wheel much faster than usual. My wheel blog (3euc.com) has a Newbies section with pointers on how to learn and ride. I teach people one-on-one in the Los Angeles area and can even supply a trainer wheel, for people who are trying to figure out if they'll like it, or get some training so they won't wreck their first wheel (or themselves).
I used a Hand truck, like to use to move large items, not the up-the-stair type but 2-8” hard wheels and handles at top, to learn to balance It was heavy enough to keep me up around and around, the block, after a couple of trips. Used it like I was pushing a cart at the store. Don’t do at night after dark, the shadows are eye tricks and falling will result. Then about 1/2 hour doing laps around a parked pickup truck…the finger prints were ridiculous, but then I rode away able to ride for a 10, on the fun-o-meter!! I like the heel toe turn/carving…been working hard on that. Thanks.
Congrats on your first EUC. A great choice for a first wheel and the start of another amazing journey for certain. You picked it up fast! I've got the big brother 18XL and can't wait to cross the 200km mark so I can get the full speed of 31mph unlocked.
@@jorgebatista425 Wow. I don't think I'll ever push it past 30mph while I'm still sane. I just watched a video by Alien Rides where someone pushed his MSX to 40mph and crashed as a result. It is a firm reminder to never push a wheel past its stated limit. Ride safe, ride on.
Please keep us updated ASAP as you continue to progress with the EUC. I’ve had the XR since Dec. Debated hours over KS 16s vs XR, went with the XR and love it. I would love to see your review of the KS. I would also love to try one out!

Also a big fan of the hard case you recommended for potential future air travel, which was also a big factor in deciding between a OW or EUC since most EUCs have too hefty a battery to travel with.

Jimmy, thanks for all of your videos. They helped me immensely as I was learning to ride my recently purchased Onewheel+ XR. I also just bought a Kick Song 16s based on your video as well. I used your affiliate link. Looking forward to seeing more content.
Thanks David! I appreciate the support. I love my OW and just finished a fun group ride today. Later in going to take it the EUC. I really enjoy the Glide feeling in the EUC and the range is amazing! They are both absolutely a blast. Keep me posted on how things go. I'm glad the channel is helpful.
@@freshlycharged Quick question - were you able to register for an account on the King Song app? It's not letting me register, saying that the verification code sent to my e-mail is incorrect, even though I'm typing it in correctly. Thanks in advance!
It took me 2 hours of riding over 6 days (themselves spread out over a month) to get as good as you were after only 30 minutes. I considered giving up multiple times, but it's surprisingly easy if you just stick with it. I got the 18XL, also from eWheels. I wanted as big a tire as possible to handle our horrible Colorado roads. The extra weight wore me out a lot, though, which may have contributed to the learning delay.
Jimmy, I was following your path, got one wheel and thinking of switching to EUC. However I feel like I am loosing out on exercising, so I go on more hikes. Now thinking of paragliding.
EUC requires mounting a mirror on the helmet, as turning the head 180degrees to check traffic can be dangerous. I owned a Ninebot Z10 and did not like how it handled the hills in my neighborhood. I ended up selling the Z10 on eBay to a guy in Fairbanks, and buying a Lacroix. EUCs are an amazing experience... If I had the choice between carving on a EUC vs a OneWheeel XR, I would choose the latter. I would only buy a Pint if I lived in the city, and needed to get on municipal transit or a flight...thx for sharing.
Some of your videos about the Onewheel helped convince me to buy a OW about a month ago, and as of 2 days before this EUC video released, I also bought an EUC and started learning. I’m already certain that my EUC Will replace my onewheel. I’m terrified of nosedives, and as cool as the OW idea is, I think the protrusion of the board in the direction of travel will always be a problem for OW’s design. In my mind, Onewheel exists less for viability, and more for simulating the feeling of boarding sports. Another reason I’m choosing an EUC is that Riding forward facing works better with the natural symmetry in my body, where as the OW keeps my hips, spine and neck twisted in one direction for long periods of time, which Seems like it would develop A-symmetry in my body over time. Great Video! Can’t wait to see how you progress.
Yes Jim a good video. Also speed increases gyroscopic force and wobbles are decreased. Also the trick riders of wheelie motorcycles have low air pressure in their tires,this also allows more control side to side. 25 lbs and up to gain upright and turning ability. Bumps are easier to recover from also.
I’ve been watching you riding Onewheel and have two of them myself. Last week one night I couldn’t sleep so I went to youtube and found this video. One thing lead to another and today KS-16S showed up on my front door. LOL.
I can’t believe how heavy this thing is. Can’t wait to take it out and learn but it’s raining here today in Seattle. Do you know how water resistant the Kinsong is?
@@kitjunya It's heavy but the trolly handle is money. Just be sure to pull up slightly till you hear a beep before picking it up off the ground or it may want to accelerate while lifting it up. I've taken mine in light rain. Nothing heavy though. Still learning.
This is a great video...practical for those wondering the difficulties of starting out on one of these.....well done. Also great that I see you reply to lots of comments. I see some some channels that you can scroll for ever and not see a reply. I guess the fact it plays music means you can upload, or bluetooth, your own playlist....if that's the case then that would really add to the whole experience
Congrats on your EUC bro, I’ve been using the Inmotion Glide 3. I’m amazed how quickly you picked it up. Took me a few stressful hours and wasn’t confident for the road until a few days. Great job.
Perfect choice for a first wheel, my son's and I all learned to ride on our first 16S. Though I've since upgraded to a V10F, my son's both ride 16Ss. I must admit too... if I'm feeling like trick riding, the 16S is where it's at. Moving up to wheels with more battery and/or wider/larger diameter tires is great for cruising... but those 16Ss are just sooo amazingly quick and nimble.
Just got my Inmotion V10 last week. First EUC, I have a Pint as well. Love the range and additional speed of the EUC. But I cannot agree more, they are 2 different animals and comparisons would not be justifiable. I have alot of your practice facilities here in Salt Lake :) If your ever in UT shout out, love to ride with you. Thanks for all the content and work put into the videos.
Nice dude! Love seeing the kids ripping around on the onewheels that is so awesome. I was so curious about how your transition was going to be with these things - I'm glad you tried it on grass that was my process for the onewheel too - wasn't sure if the narrow tire would cause issues sinking in or anything. Looks like you're picking it up pretty quick - keep it up! I think the biggest question for me about the EUC is does it have the fun factor that the onewheel has - I know it destroys it in every other metric. High fives.
Nice! Wait until a month from now when you really get good it’s going to be a blast!I love my OW XR, it a very fun board, it has good range, but with an EUC you can triple or even quadruple your range. You can explore longer and faster and because your feet are positioned side to side not front and back, I find there is less stress on the back. Good job learning as quickly as you did!
I am so glad I live in a time where the future is actually starting to become a reality. This is exactly the kind of stuff I would always dream about after watching sci fi movies and playing video games as a kid.
Would be great if there was a "lock feature" on the onewheel, to stop my nephews riding off with it, or maybe even to "lock it up" when left at the entrance to my local store !
Just watched, your first unicycle is the best , every time you get on your so much better than the last time, all your other toys gather dust because you can’t get enough riding in
I haven't tried one of these yet and I'm on the fence on if I want to or not. It just doesn't seem exciting like the OW, even though you can get much better specs on an EUC. And even though EUC's don't nosedive, they give the impression of being more dangerous. Your riding stance just feels more vulnerable, even if that's not technically true..
I remember the excitement of learning to ride. Unfortunately you will not get 40 miles out of it. But you should be able to get in the 30s. The 16s is a great machine. Have fun.
Haha I started watching your videos because of the onewheel and thinking of switching from euc to onewheel.. Look forward to hear what you think of both
Nice. You're going to love it. I have the KS18L and have gotten over 25 miles with about 40% battery still left. I've hit 30+mph which is a bit to fast for my comfort...lol. Have fun BTW "Obey the Beep" lmao. Cut offs are no joke.
Awesome 🙌🏽. Last time we spoke we were talking about the difference in experience btw eucs and onewheel. I cudnt compare because ive never ridden a one wheel.. But i think euc is an AMAZING experience. As you ride more i lool forward to your followup thoughts on this. Good job learning btw. I ride a ninebotz10. Amazing wheel as well. Mu girlfriemd has a ks14s and she swears by it too.
Nice! Let me know how it goes. I used to poo poo the idea of EUC, but I'm really liking it. Doing night rides every night after work right now for practice.
I'm learning how to ride the EUC now; love my OneWheels. I used a column to hold onto with both hands to get both feet up on the EUC and am now just getting used to leaning back and forth. This joker's killing my ankles, though and I'm veering off to one side. More practice necessary.
I'll have my first wheel (18XL) in about three weeks, I've already been strategizing (and learning from others) how to go about learning to use it. I may or may not have a leg up because of things I know from motorcycle riding. For example, power applied and controlled is how you keep a motorcycle stable. This is what keeps motorcycles stable at low speed. You use a combination of power applied and braking to achieve this. It should be a similar dynamic for a EUC once muscle coordination/familiarity of the control is built. Now hopefully I can find some dog poop free areas of grass to use in Central Park... ;p
I’m doing the same as you currently. Huge onewheel fan, but learning my inmotion v8 EUC. Definitely much harder to learn. The pedals on my v8 are pretty small though. Overall I think EUC is a lot more versatile, but onewheel is more chill and more fun to carve on. Also you can’t stand still on an EUC like you can on a onewheel, you constantly have to keep moving. If you are on Instagram let me know, I’m photorph85 there.
I have the exact Sam Eric and have had some technical issues just sharing my experience if it starts making weird clunk noises stop immediately and check you cotter-pin the motherboards also have a tendency to fail. It is very easy to work on through.
22mph on that sounds super sketchy even with less low speed Wobble! I would assume since you stand straight up and forward there is likely less foot fatigue on long rides than a OneWheel. Cool video though Jimmy and I love that you've made this a family hobby, you guys always look happy 👍
I have yet to go that fast. I'll need to gear up appropriately and the app only lets you unlock more speed after I have more experience and miles. There is also much more safety margin built in even after the top speed with audible alerts to let me know if I'm pushing it. Lot's of safety features which I love while still giving me a floaty/glide like freedom that is so fun.
About time Jimmy. Prediction: You will use your one wheel less and less as you become proficient on Eucs. You will own 3-5 different eucs in the next three months. You will sell none. You will hunger for more speed and range and will seek to satisfy those pangs. Once you get a taste of how much the world opens up to you with your eucs, there will be no substitute. Welcome to the glide life.
@@freshlycharged You bet. By the way, you picked it up extremely fast! Took me a few days to get where you were in two hours. Perhaps onewheel muscle development helped your euc riding a bit? who knows, who cares...have fun. Enjoy the ride. Let me know if you are ever in NY again and we will go for a spin or two around central park. I have a few different wheels you can try before you buy :).
You've been warned accurately! Get out now or there is no going back, once you've caught the EUC bug. I have had 10+ wheels, kind of stopped keeping count, selling and buying as newer models come out. I've had or tried most models from Ninebot, King Song, and InMotion. I currently have a King Song KS-18XL, GotWay MSX, and Ninebot One Z10, although I find I am riding almost exclusively the King Song 18XL over any others. The Onewheel XR (their best model for $1799) has an optimal range of 12-18 miles. The KS-18XL ($2250 with the newer 10 inch pedals and a 2nd charger) has that for breakfast, with easily a range of 60+ miles.
@@3euc Jimmy deserves a proper warning. He is a nice guy. I am up to five wheels and I have another on order for April 20 delivery (Monster 100v). The cravings are too damn strong! I haven't ridden my onewheel in a month but I have been out almost every day with either my MSuper X, my KS18xl, my GW Tesla or the KS16s just to give it some love. Can't stop. LOL. ;)
@@jorgebatista425 Well, can't say we didn't try! Judging by how fast Jimmy learned it, which was very impressive, I think we are way too late. I see another EUC in his future. The GotWay Nikola is coming right up, followed by the King Song 16X. I'll probably end up with both of them, damn it! Although I have a feeling I will prefer the 16X over the Nikola. That's the way it is--riding and enjoying what I've got, but always planning the next wheels. I've been letting go of my older models, while they still had value, to make some room for the newer ones. I'll miss them, but they just weren't getting any more use!
Man... are you stalking me? I haven't gotten a Pint -- want one -- but I've started checking out EUC videos again too. And now here you are, with an EUC! And you did it after just 90 or so minutes of leaning?! Geez! Do you thinking riding the Onewheel made it easier to learn? Will be interesting to see your future videos. I've liked your Onewheel ones.
Question Jim, is the King song app really necessary to work that unicycle that you bought because I'm not somebody who uses a cell phone on a daily basis actually I'm a person that doesn't use it at all and so I see a lot of these devices are being attached to people's personal cell phones and I wonder is there any room in there for me who doesn't use it to get a device like the unicycle that you have to ride?
Been doing a lot of research the last few days. Like Steve, I'll be going for the V10F. I'll make sure to use your link. Subbed and bookmarked your Blog site.
You chose a difficult order to learn how to ride EUC. You can change the order so that you are only learning one new skill at a time. First use a wall or a rail for support and use that to mount and rock back and forth to get an idea of how the EUC moves. Then with one foot on, do a few steps and stop, to learn how to stop and step off without dropping the EUC. Next use the wall to mount, launch, and do short rides. Eventually move away from the wall, and as you did in your video, steer into the fall by arm flailing, flail left to steer right and vice versa. Find an area large enough that you feel comfortable with more speed. I got a V8F about 3 weeks ago, my first EUC, and a cover so the V8F wouldn't get scratched up from bailing off and dropping it. For the V8F, at about 6 to 8 mph, it becomes much more stable. This is because leaning the EUC causes it to steer, and at this speed, if you start to fall and lean the EUC the same as your body, the steering response is close enough to correct the fall to make it stable. I then worked on leaning forwards | backwards for speed control, and tilt (move inside foot down, outside foot up) steering, tilting the EUC so that it steers you instead of you steering the EUC. I also improved my stops so I could stop leaving one foot on the EUC and not grabbing it, although this isn't a needed skill at this point. The last step was to learn free mount (no support), which I did on a soccer field, my first time on grass. Since I already knew how to ride, I was only learning how to free mount. Rather than learn one foot glide, I just stepped 2 or 3 times and hopped on. Now it's just a case of improving my turning skills so I'm making fewer and smaller mid-turn corrections, and later learning how to tilt steer for tighter turns at slower speeds, although with a 16 inch wheel, it's not going to turn as tight as a MTen3 with it's 10 inch wheel.
Congrats on the KS16s. Looks like your Onewheel balance skills might be aiding your balance on the EUC. From my months of following EUCs in the hope of being able to afford on some day, one thing I constantly see being said is that you have to keep your back straight and try not to squeeze the sides too hard (also use knee pads). Also: That girl was killing it on the one wheel!
Between the two, once you're similarly proficient on each, which one do you forget about the most and just feel like a flying god who can float wherever he wants? I'm a motorcyclist who just discovered scooters, and I bought a really nice fast one with long range, but now I'm wondering if I want a cheap unicycle or onewheel type thing to play around on and improve my balance.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the video. I keep thinking between the OneWheel and the EUC. I've seen many video of your riding both of them. May I ask which one do you think is safer? Or less injury even though you fall? And is the Pine version of OneWheel has function to prevent the nose dipping? Thanks a lot.
Hi Jimmy I just got mine and I'm having issues unlocking it ,do you use the UCE world app? When I use that app and hit the unlock button the wheel still goes backwards instead of forward.
I got a pint and i think EUCs are safer....i am on day 7 with my pint...Coral...57 yrs old...fun, and i have had some blow outs...landed on my bum...lots of padding there...lol...day 5 i went downtown and I joined the 40 plus list on FB...but i don’t know if i will keep it...i am very careful..wear my headgear, and wrist guards...have not gotten into the DARTH VADER look yet, but might have too....we will see....but i think that would be fun and i might sell mine...and get one of those...those are safer, right?
you will learn to relax your feet more and more. its kinda like skiing imo. love my ks16 xD quite offroad capable but low range on hills and hardcore offroad terrain. I can send you stl files for a 3d printed guard if you like. i drop it quite often when parking, because i dont care xD
Great review and perfect points of interest that you covered! I'm torn between this and the OW myself, but just the mileage alone has me in favor of the EUC!!! ☻
Get the euc. I ordered a xr and never got it, and after three delays and three weeks after i paid, it still didnt ship. And then i bought a used one. Im very experienced eskater. Picked it up in five minutes. Problem is, ut nose dives going 10 mph on flat ground. Onewheel is pure hype! Ive never owned a euc, but ive owned a boosted an evolve a ownboard. Id highly recommend any of those pver a onewheel
@@freshlycharged Haha! Mine is actually wood. In fact all the buildings in my area have wood courts. I'm in SoCal, I wonder if yours are carpet because you're in a colder climate? Not sure.
@@freshlycharged Thanks. Did some research, I just got a one wheel xr plus and I ordered a Kingsong 16s as well. Your videos are great. I appreciate hearing your thoughts. Keep making awesome content.
Has anyone else noticed that when learning, it's easier to turn in one direction than another? I can go left absolutely fine but harder to turn right. My brother had the same issue as well, wonder if it's anything to do with batteries making it just slightly heavier on one side.
Outdoors is the place to practice not indoors. It’s easier to pick up some speed and that helps with balancing a lot. You need to be able to roll 100 feet and most indoor spaces aren’t big enough for that. Also don’t punch over or go to slow otherwise you tip over.
What do you think about the newer KS 16X? After looking at Inmotion, Gotway etc I was thinking about buying that same one too KS 16S but now Im thinking maybe I should wait and see.
When it comes to off roading, onewheel takes the cake no competition. much better for absorbing bumps and much more stable. also, even though the foot pads reduce ground clearance compared to the ecu, the ecu could not go over any obstacle as tall as the onewheel's ground clearance.
Jimmy, now that you have some experience with the 16s were you able to cruise at 22 MPH and go 40 miles? I’d be shocked if you cruise anywhere north of 20 and I bet you’d only see 25 MPH at those higher speeds not to mention any wind resistance which will further drive down your range.
What would be your first electric rideable? I've looked at the one wheel for a while. I live in an area with no hills. Im actually on hilton head island. thanks
Wow. Checking out this video in 2024. Brought back great memories. Amazing how wheels have changed and the entire sport has gained popularity. Good to know you are still at it, Jimmy.
*Great starting Unicycle **Latest.Bike** . I learned within a month practicing a couple times a week. Great for beginners, I'm 5'6" and 160 pounds*

With third-party range extender battery solutions coming up you could double the pint range for sure. Also the one wheel looks more fun.
Yeah, turning my head results in the EUC veering off into that direction right now. Need to work on it. Also need to look into one of those mirrors.
Fairbanks, you from alaska...
Congrats man.👍Welcome to the EUC club. The KS16S is a beast. Love my onewheel+ man, but EUC is a next level.
Next level baby! When do I win the game and save the princess?
@@freshlycharged lol
Hi Jimmy! I just got an old solowheel and came to learn. Looking forward to it.
Some of your videos about the Onewheel helped convince me to buy a OW about a month ago, and as of 2 days before this EUC video released, I also bought an EUC and started learning.
I’m already certain that my EUC Will replace my onewheel.
I’m terrified of nosedives, and as cool as the OW idea is, I think the protrusion of the board in the direction of travel will always be a problem for OW’s design.
In my mind, Onewheel exists less for viability, and more for simulating the feeling of boarding sports.
Another reason I’m choosing an EUC is that Riding forward facing works better with the natural symmetry in my body, where as the OW keeps my hips, spine and neck twisted in one direction for long periods of time, which Seems like it would develop A-symmetry in my body over time.
Great Video! Can’t wait to see how you progress.
You hit the nail on the head. I agree with you on all points. I do still love the OW for cruising and overall fun though.
Yes Jim a good video. Also speed increases gyroscopic force and wobbles are decreased. Also the trick riders of wheelie motorcycles have low air pressure in their tires,this also allows more control side to side. 25 lbs and up to gain upright and turning ability. Bumps are easier to recover from also.
I’ve been watching you riding Onewheel and have two of them myself. Last week one night I couldn’t sleep so I went to youtube and found this video. One thing lead to another and today KS-16S showed up on my front door. LOL.
Congrats man! Good luck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know how the progress goes.
I can’t believe how heavy this thing is. Can’t wait to take it out and learn but it’s raining here today in Seattle. Do you know how water resistant the Kinsong is?
@@kitjunya It's heavy but the trolly handle is money. Just be sure to pull up slightly till you hear a beep before picking it up off the ground or it may want to accelerate while lifting it up. I've taken mine in light rain. Nothing heavy though. Still learning.
This is a great video...practical for those wondering the difficulties of starting out on one of these.....well done.
Also great that I see you reply to lots of comments. I see some some channels that you can scroll for ever and not see a reply.
I guess the fact it plays music means you can upload, or bluetooth, your own playlist....if that's the case then that would really add to the whole experience
Love listening to music while I ride. The speakers on my Nikola are pretty amazing.
Congrats on your EUC bro, I’ve been using the Inmotion Glide 3. I’m amazed how quickly you picked it up. Took me a few stressful hours and wasn’t confident for the road until a few days. Great job.
Thanks Dillon. Ton of fun. Learning curve at the beginning was steep, but it's so enjoyable once you get the hang of it.
Perfect choice for a first wheel, my son's and I all learned to ride on our first 16S. Though I've since upgraded to a V10F, my son's both ride 16Ss. I must admit too... if I'm feeling like trick riding, the 16S is where it's at. Moving up to wheels with more battery and/or wider/larger diameter tires is great for cruising... but those 16Ss are just sooo amazingly quick and nimble.
Nice! Thanks for the support. So much fun so far.
Just got my Inmotion V10 last week. First EUC, I have a Pint as well. Love the range and additional speed of the EUC. But I cannot agree more, they are 2 different animals and comparisons would not be justifiable. I have alot of your practice facilities here in Salt Lake :) If your ever in UT shout out, love to ride with you. Thanks for all the content and work put into the videos.
Love my practice facility! 😁
After you get about 500 miles on your EUC, it will be your go to device. My prediction.
@@freshlycharged Yeah it kinda already has, 100 miles on it in 3 days. 18 - 19mph cruising speed feels amazing!!!
Nice dude!
Love seeing the kids ripping around on the onewheels that is so awesome.
I was so curious about how your transition was going to be with these things - I'm glad you tried it on grass that was my process for the onewheel too - wasn't sure if the narrow tire would cause issues sinking in or anything.
Looks like you're picking it up pretty quick - keep it up!
I think the biggest question for me about the EUC is does it have the fun factor that the onewheel has - I know it destroys it in every other metric.
High fives.
I've ordered a Fun-o-meter. I'll let you know the results ASAP!
Nice! Wait until a month from now when you really get good it’s going to be a blast!I love my OW XR, it a very fun board, it has good range, but with an EUC you can triple or even quadruple your range. You can explore longer and faster and because your feet are positioned side to side not front and back, I find there is less stress on the back. Good job learning as quickly as you did!
And that is a fact👍
imagine you posted this 3 years ago and now Jimmy is a EUC expert, making videos that reach us all and are greatly informative!
I am so glad I live in a time where the future is actually starting to become a reality. This is exactly the kind of stuff I would always dream about after watching sci fi movies and playing video games as a kid.
Would be great if there was a "lock feature" on the onewheel, to stop my nephews riding off with it, or maybe even to "lock it up" when left at the entrance to my local store !
It can be handy.
I bet you're the best YM leader! That gym looks familiar to ones around here!
Onewheel night beats dodgeball every time!
Just watched, your first unicycle is the best , every time you get on your so much better than the last time, all your other toys gather dust because you can’t get enough riding in
I haven't tried one of these yet and I'm on the fence on if I want to or not.
It just doesn't seem exciting like the OW, even though you can get much better specs on an EUC.
And even though EUC's don't nosedive, they give the impression of being more dangerous. Your riding stance just feels more vulnerable, even if that's not technically true..
I'll be your test dummy and report back via UA-cam with my EUC progress if you keep watching my videos. Deal?
@@freshlycharged Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to more of your videos.
I have watched your videos for a long time good job keep it up
Thanks for the support!
I remember the excitement of learning to ride. Unfortunately you will not get 40 miles out of it. But you should be able to get in the 30s. The 16s is a great machine. Have fun.
30 sounds wonderful. I'll take it! What do you ride now?
Haha I started watching your videos because of the onewheel and thinking of switching from euc to onewheel.. Look forward to hear what you think of both
Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.
Nice. You're going to love it. I have the KS18L and have gotten over 25 miles with about 40% battery still left. I've hit 30+mph which is a bit to fast for my comfort...lol. Have fun BTW "Obey the Beep" lmao. Cut offs are no joke.
Thanks for the support!
Omg you got it! Haven't even watched the vid yet but gonna watch it now. Congrats!
One day I hope to be able to ride like you!
@@freshlycharged That's gonna be soon! You learned so damn quick! Awesome job and great vid as always!
Great video. Can’t wait to see which one you like better the one wheel or the euc
Thanks for a great review. Very detailed and informative. Good work!
Awesome 🙌🏽. Last time we spoke we were talking about the difference in experience btw eucs and onewheel. I cudnt compare because ive never ridden a one wheel.. But i think euc is an AMAZING experience. As you ride more i lool forward to your followup thoughts on this. Good job learning btw. I ride a ninebotz10. Amazing wheel as well. Mu girlfriemd has a ks14s and she swears by it too.
Thanks for the support. More to come for sure. Just need more hours in the day.
I enjoy your videos and channel keep up the good work!
Inspiring video. Just getting started on my first wheel!
Thank you! I needed to see this. It seems the 16s is an affordable and descent EUC to get started on. For me, you just confirmed that. 🙏
Nice, I just ordered the 18XL and cant wait to master that. I am coming from the XR also.
Nice! Let me know how it goes. I used to poo poo the idea of EUC, but I'm really liking it. Doing night rides every night after work right now for practice.
I'm learning how to ride the EUC now; love my OneWheels. I used a column to hold onto with both hands to get both feet up on the EUC and am now just getting used to leaning back and forth. This joker's killing my ankles, though and I'm veering off to one side. More practice necessary.
I'll have my first wheel (18XL) in about three weeks, I've already been strategizing (and learning from others) how to go about learning to use it. I may or may not have a leg up because of things I know from motorcycle riding. For example, power applied and controlled is how you keep a motorcycle stable. This is what keeps motorcycles stable at low speed. You use a combination of power applied and braking to achieve this. It should be a similar dynamic for a EUC once muscle coordination/familiarity of the control is built.
Now hopefully I can find some dog poop free areas of grass to use in Central Park... ;p
Sweet! Keep me posted on how things go. I loved cruising Central Park when I was there.
Nice, keep the reviews coming. I’m torn between the OneWheel XR and that Kingsong 16s. Looking forward to your follow ups. 👍🏽
Thanks Mel. Will do! Check my blog and Instagram for updates as well. UA-cam is great, but each video takes a lot of time and work.
I would really recommend the 16s, I've done over 6000 miles on different EUC's now and it's the best value for money PEV you can buy rn.
I’m doing the same as you currently. Huge onewheel fan, but learning my inmotion v8 EUC. Definitely much harder to learn. The pedals on my v8 are pretty small though. Overall I think EUC is a lot more versatile, but onewheel is more chill and more fun to carve on. Also you can’t stand still on an EUC like you can on a onewheel, you constantly have to keep moving. If you are on Instagram let me know, I’m photorph85 there.
EUC all day my friend! LETS GO
I have the exact Sam Eric and have had some technical issues just sharing my experience if it starts making weird clunk noises stop immediately and check you cotter-pin the motherboards also have a tendency to fail.
It is very easy to work on through.
Also if there is a slow beep sound for trails when there is lots of foot traffic through Bluetooth would be nice.
You will have to do a video when you get used to it, which do you prefer the one wheel or EUC.
Congrats on the purchase! First thing I noticed was your t-shrit, I need one! 😅
HA! My wife HATES that shirt. I have so many free shirts I've picked up over the years. This is also one of my favs.
Jimmy, I would have told you about the lock if I knew, I only have Gotways , no drama.
22mph on that sounds super sketchy even with less low speed Wobble! I would assume since you stand straight up and forward there is likely less foot fatigue on long rides than a OneWheel. Cool video though Jimmy and I love that you've made this a family hobby, you guys always look happy 👍
I have yet to go that fast. I'll need to gear up appropriately and the app only lets you unlock more speed after I have more experience and miles. There is also much more safety margin built in even after the top speed with audible alerts to let me know if I'm pushing it. Lot's of safety features which I love while still giving me a floaty/glide like freedom that is so fun.
About time Jimmy. Prediction: You will use your one wheel less and less as you become proficient on Eucs. You will own 3-5 different eucs in the next three months. You will sell none. You will hunger for more speed and range and will seek to satisfy those pangs. Once you get a taste of how much the world opens up to you with your eucs, there will be no substitute. Welcome to the glide life.
The Glide Life! Love it. You helped to plant the seed my friend. Now let's grow this thing!
@@freshlycharged You bet. By the way, you picked it up extremely fast! Took me a few days to get where you were in two hours. Perhaps onewheel muscle development helped your euc riding a bit? who knows, who cares...have fun. Enjoy the ride. Let me know if you are ever in NY again and we will go for a spin or two around central park. I have a few different wheels you can try before you buy :).
You've been warned accurately! Get out now or there is no going back, once you've caught the EUC bug. I have had 10+ wheels, kind of stopped keeping count, selling and buying as newer models come out. I've had or tried most models from Ninebot, King Song, and InMotion. I currently have a King Song KS-18XL, GotWay MSX, and Ninebot One Z10, although I find I am riding almost exclusively the King Song 18XL over any others. The Onewheel XR (their best model for $1799) has an optimal range of 12-18 miles. The KS-18XL ($2250 with the newer 10 inch pedals and a 2nd charger) has that for breakfast, with easily a range of 60+ miles.
@@3euc Jimmy deserves a proper warning. He is a nice guy. I am up to five wheels and I have another on order for April 20 delivery (Monster 100v). The cravings are too damn strong! I haven't ridden my onewheel in a month but I have been out almost every day with either my MSuper X, my KS18xl, my GW Tesla or the KS16s just to give it some love. Can't stop. LOL. ;)
@@jorgebatista425 Well, can't say we didn't try! Judging by how fast Jimmy learned it, which was very impressive, I think we are way too late. I see another EUC in his future. The GotWay Nikola is coming right up, followed by the King Song 16X. I'll probably end up with both of them, damn it! Although I have a feeling I will prefer the 16X over the Nikola. That's the way it is--riding and enjoying what I've got, but always planning the next wheels. I've been letting go of my older models, while they still had value, to make some room for the newer ones. I'll miss them, but they just weren't getting any more use!
Man... are you stalking me? I haven't gotten a Pint -- want one -- but I've started checking out EUC videos again too. And now here you are, with an EUC! And you did it after just 90 or so minutes of leaning?! Geez! Do you thinking riding the Onewheel made it easier to learn? Will be interesting to see your future videos. I've liked your Onewheel ones.
Little translates from the Onewheel other than an overall sense of balance... and no, not stalking. Great minds just think alike!
@@freshlycharged This is going to be interesting viewing!
I totally recognize an LDS chapel when I see it. Awesome to see that you’re a member too Jimmy. CTR
Question Jim, is the King song app really necessary to work that unicycle that you bought because I'm not somebody who uses a cell phone on a daily basis actually I'm a person that doesn't use it at all and so I see a lot of these devices are being attached to people's personal cell phones and I wonder is there any room in there for me who doesn't use it to get a device like the unicycle that you have to ride?
Awesome. Now i have to learn. Maybe this summer.
This is what i was looking for. OW vs Unicycle difficulty. Thanks! I think Ill start with a OW.
Been doing a lot of research the last few days. Like Steve, I'll be going for the V10F. I'll make sure to use your link. Subbed and bookmarked your Blog site.
You chose a difficult order to learn how to ride EUC. You can change the order so that you are only learning one new skill at a time. First use a wall or a rail for support and use that to mount and rock back and forth to get an idea of how the EUC moves. Then with one foot on, do a few steps and stop, to learn how to stop and step off without dropping the EUC. Next use the wall to mount, launch, and do short rides. Eventually move away from the wall, and as you did in your video, steer into the fall by arm flailing, flail left to steer right and vice versa. Find an area large enough that you feel comfortable with more speed. I got a V8F about 3 weeks ago, my first EUC, and a cover so the V8F wouldn't get scratched up from bailing off and dropping it. For the V8F, at about 6 to 8 mph, it becomes much more stable. This is because leaning the EUC causes it to steer, and at this speed, if you start to fall and lean the EUC the same as your body, the steering response is close enough to correct the fall to make it stable. I then worked on leaning forwards | backwards for speed control, and tilt (move inside foot down, outside foot up) steering, tilting the EUC so that it steers you instead of you steering the EUC. I also improved my stops so I could stop leaving one foot on the EUC and not grabbing it, although this isn't a needed skill at this point. The last step was to learn free mount (no support), which I did on a soccer field, my first time on grass. Since I already knew how to ride, I was only learning how to free mount. Rather than learn one foot glide, I just stepped 2 or 3 times and hopped on. Now it's just a case of improving my turning skills so I'm making fewer and smaller mid-turn corrections, and later learning how to tilt steer for tighter turns at slower speeds, although with a 16 inch wheel, it's not going to turn as tight as a MTen3 with it's 10 inch wheel.
Great video, but the best part was when you discovered the built-in bluetooth speaker and then let it rip with -- the Mozart piano concerto!!
Congrats on the KS16s. Looks like your Onewheel balance skills might be aiding your balance on the EUC. From my months of following EUCs in the hope of being able to afford on some day, one thing I constantly see being said is that you have to keep your back straight and try not to squeeze the sides too hard (also use knee pads). Also: That girl was killing it on the one wheel!
It was a challenge to learn. I'm not going to sugar coat it. But totally worth it! Still can't get over the range!
I was born in the right generation.
Yes, You were. If you saw Back to the Future, Turbo Teen, Knight Rider, etc..
Yessir. This is it.
Seeing this and the most recent one you took of trails gives me hope to buy a v11 n learn
Between the two, once you're similarly proficient on each, which one do you forget about the most and just feel like a flying god who can float wherever he wants? I'm a motorcyclist who just discovered scooters, and I bought a really nice fast one with long range, but now I'm wondering if I want a cheap unicycle or onewheel type thing to play around on and improve my balance.
EUC
Are your gloves a combo hand and wrist guard? What brand / model is it?
I see you have been riding other wheels would you recommend learning on a bigger more powerful wheel like a V12HT so you don't need to upgrade.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the video. I keep thinking between the OneWheel and the EUC. I've seen many video of your riding both of them. May I ask which one do you think is safer? Or less injury even though you fall? And is the Pine version of OneWheel has function to prevent the nose dipping? Thanks a lot.
Watch my onewheel vs EUC videos. In short, I have yet to have a bad injury on my EUC. I've had many injuries from the onewheel.
What size/brand of EUC would you suggest for the "larger person"? I'm 6'5' and 290lbs.
Hi Jimmy I just got mine and I'm having issues unlocking it ,do you use the UCE world app? When I use that app and hit the unlock button the wheel still goes backwards instead of forward.
I got a pint and i think EUCs are safer....i am on day 7 with my pint...Coral...57 yrs old...fun, and i have had some blow outs...landed on my bum...lots of padding there...lol...day 5 i went downtown and I joined the 40 plus list on FB...but i don’t know if i will keep it...i am very careful..wear my headgear, and wrist guards...have not gotten into the DARTH VADER look yet, but might have too....we will see....but i think that would be fun and i might sell mine...and get one of those...those are safer, right?
Hi Jimmy! Do EUCs give their riders foot fatigue the same way One wheels do? (Prior to learning how to carve, I might add).
you will learn to relax your feet more and more. its kinda like skiing imo. love my ks16 xD quite offroad capable but low range on hills and hardcore offroad terrain. I can send you stl files for a 3d printed guard if you like. i drop it quite often when parking, because i dont care xD
I have a Onewheel XR....just jumped to the EUC world.... and purchased the Veteran Sherman .. im hoping that I learn quickly to ride it now... haha..
Wow! You went all in. The Sherman is a beast! Keep me posted on your progress.
@@freshlycharged absolutely...
Great review and perfect points of interest that you covered! I'm torn between this and the OW myself, but just the mileage alone has me in favor of the EUC!!! ☻
Get the euc. I ordered a xr and never got it, and after three delays and three weeks after i paid, it still didnt ship. And then i bought a used one. Im very experienced eskater. Picked it up in five minutes. Problem is, ut nose dives going 10 mph on flat ground. Onewheel is pure hype! Ive never owned a euc, but ive owned a boosted an evolve a ownboard. Id highly recommend any of those pver a onewheel
Get the onewheel, while the range is awesome, from my experience, the onewheel is way more fun for me.
@@urgarb9718 onewheel is so much more fun than an EUC. owned both, sold my EUC. Still riding my OW daily.
I haven't watched the video yet. But I'm excited. Just wanted to tell you that. Now I'll watch the video. Heeehehe
I hope it's everything you hoped for and more... 😂
Hey I noticed you had a mini license plate on your veteran Sherman where did you get that? Thanks in advance
So question, why you dont mention eskateboards, compare to that or is there a specific reason why the onewheel is your only eskate thingy?
I recognize a cultural hall when I see one! I didn't realize you were a member Jimmy. That's cool man, me too.
You got it! Now we know why they put carpet in the floors of the basketball courts. It's so we can learn how to ride EUCs on them! CTR.
@@freshlycharged Haha! Mine is actually wood. In fact all the buildings in my area have wood courts. I'm in SoCal, I wonder if yours are carpet because you're in a colder climate? Not sure.
@@bryansnell most new buildings are carpet. The building I grew up going to in SoCal was carpet. Cheaper to maintain than hardwood floors.
@@freshlycharged Interesting. Ride on Jimmy, see you in the next video. Keep up the good work buddy.
My building went from carpet to wood
Jimmy, not sure if I missed it, what made you decide on the Kingsong 16s?
At the time it was the most reliable and sturdy of all the 16 inch wheels with better power than the competition. Still is a good wheel.
@@freshlycharged Thanks. Did some research, I just got a one wheel xr plus and I ordered a Kingsong 16s as well. Your videos are great. I appreciate hearing your thoughts. Keep making awesome content.
Hey Jimmy, how are you getting on a month later? How do you find the EUC? Which do you enjoy more now? I know it's a tricky question!
I'll do an EUC update in the next week or so. But spoiler alert, it's great!
@@freshlycharged looking forward to it
I’m impressed how good your daughter is on the onewheel, my son is 5 I wonder how long till he can ride one?
Sounds like your little guy is a Point Sized Rider! 😉
Have you ever seen a child as young as five ride one or a bit too young?
Personally the youngest I've seen ride with skill was 6-7 years old.
Has anyone else noticed that when learning, it's easier to turn in one direction than another? I can go left absolutely fine but harder to turn right. My brother had the same issue as well, wonder if it's anything to do with batteries making it just slightly heavier on one side.
Imagine blasting some insane laughter on a loop on that speaker while rolling around in a clown suit.. Omg please no one try that.. 🤩🤩🤩
Oh....
Thanks for the video idea!
@@freshlycharged nooooo...
...slenderman rolling down the streets
I imagine playing earape default dance while riding through a park
how's terrain versatility compared to the onewheel? dirt roads? packed sand by the shore? rough asphalt roads?
Outdoors is the place to practice not indoors. It’s easier to pick up some speed and that helps with balancing a lot. You need to be able to roll 100 feet and most indoor spaces aren’t big enough for that. Also don’t punch over or go to slow otherwise you tip over.
What do you think about the newer KS 16X?
After looking at Inmotion, Gotway etc I was thinking about buying that same one too KS 16S but now Im thinking maybe I should wait and see.
Don't know much about it but excited to see it.
Hi, so far I have mine for the pass 2 days and still haven't got it. And you got it in an hour plus half.
Mcm5
When it comes to off roading, onewheel takes the cake no competition. much better for absorbing bumps and much more stable. also, even though the foot pads reduce ground clearance compared to the ecu, the ecu could not go over any obstacle as tall as the onewheel's ground clearance.
William Pruitt-Herbert actually the euc is much better for off-roading and can climb much steeper hills
Jimmy, now that you have some experience with the 16s were you able to cruise at 22 MPH and go 40 miles? I’d be shocked if you cruise anywhere north of 20 and I bet you’d only see 25 MPH at those higher speeds not to mention any wind resistance which will further drive down your range.
You are talented to learn to ride it so fast
i have a problem, I really want a OW or a EUC but i dont have the money. DO you have any tips on what is a cheap OW or EUC?
What would be your first electric rideable? I've looked at the one wheel for a while. I live in an area with no hills. Im actually on hilton head island. thanks
Can’t wait till ur like at a million subs because then I can say that I was ur 233 subscriber
Wow Jimmy! Impressive. Took me a week to get comfy.
Oh, I'm still trying to get comfy. Ton of fun though!
