I've been riding about 5 months. Not too long. At month 2, i purchased the lynx because i outgrew the V8S by then. The Lynx it a pretty wobbly wheel. I feel like the more experience and miles i get, the more loose and relaxed i am on the wheel. I feel like my body just dampens the wobbles without thought. I'm also finding by riding loose, im more nimble and i can get to speed fast! Relaxing made me a better confident rider. Also my pads play a huge role in stability for me at least. I off set my pads so there's uneven pressure on the wheel. Seems to help a lot.
I got the lower hangers and although it’s a small 1 inch it wobbles noticeably less. I tried stock for a couple hundred miles and went back to lowered. Also switched from l841 tubeless to shinko 241 and now I’m loving it street and grass/sand/trails
I have a KS-16X and I want to upgrade. I keep going back and fourth between wanting to get a V13 Pro and a Patton or Lynx. I see pros and cons to both. I was wondering what you think?
@cincinus50 the v13 is fairly limited in range and terrain. It's pretty much a street only wheel. I guess that's cool if you have no plans on riding off road. If you're looking at the Patton, if the extra money isn't an issue, you'll do better to go with the Lynx. Better range and battery tech, plus with the new firmware it's an absolute beast!. But honestly, if I were in the market for a new wheel today, I'd be really considering the Sherman L. It's basically a lynx with much more range with much more stability.
I dont wanna shit on your parade, but for street riding to achieve higher speeds the thing that I got taught goes opposite with what you are saying, to reach higher speeds your knees need to get looser and not be in contact at all times especially you should not pinch the EUC between your legs, rather that they should be in loose contact or not at all and you need to balance more with your feet and let the EUC balance a bit by itself. I started riding last year in december, I spent some time with more experienced riders and they been giving me pointers as my skills have been growing however it seems you are not a very experienced rider just yet and I dont think you should be handing out tips to people, as your ability and knowledge seems limited.
@@CoryZuber As I just said, I dont consider myself a very experienced rider, but the riders in my local group are very much so been riding since the early days of EUC, you can look at their youtube channels, so before you continue spreading misinformation check yourself, because I rewatched the whole video and your even locking your knees straight quiete often which is also a bad habit. But if you wanted sourced check Roger Hajali probably top 10 fastest riders on earth right now, his EUC is flowing freely between his legs usually going from side to side, check Isthereanyfood Mike is a local legend he is not pinching the EUC nor is his posture very straight, stiff and locked like yours, I did the same thing wrong like you when I started but it takes practice to get good.
Just because you got taught a technique doesn't mean that it is the only technique, or that it is the best. My riding style is for my needs not yours. I choose to minimize speed wobbles. If you want to be susseptable to speed wobbles keep thinking in your old ways. The more you hold tight the more you "BECOME" part of the EUC instead of an external force acting on it and causing it to move because you are bascially "bolting" yourself to it or "clamping yourself to it. No where does this technique prevent speed. Try zip tying something heavy like a pole to your EUC and try riding it. YOU will realize its way more stable because it has a larger polar moment of inertia.
@@CoryZuber only beginners clamp the wheel because of a lack of training of the muscles needed. Carve if you want to avoid wobbles, also when braking. Your technique is Zombie riding.
Hi. I'm 1 year into riding, about 2000 km on the V12, do 45 km/h riding max. Had three major wobbles before I adapted my technique. I dont do the squeeze, rather I just alternate lean/push on one side, constantly shifting the balance left right. Kind of like downhill skiing carving. Calf raise on one side at a time. Should be much less of a workout for you, if you want to try it. Also a lot more fun, feeling active on the ride. Same when braking, always pushing a bit on one side. It is a bit harder to do in long sweeping turns though. So far not a single wobble has been able to get through. It just dies immediately. Also you shift the weight on your feet all the time which helps the feet fatigue.
You don't want to squeeze the wheel with your legs whatsoever, that also increases fatigue. It's common for a new rider to think this will help with wobbles, as I did the same thing with my first wheel. The wheel doesn't need help balancing inbetween your legs or staying stable, it's all about your foot placement and how you balance your weight side to side. It is kind of hard to explain, easier to show or just learn with more experience, but once it clicks you will understand.
It's nice to rest your feet but otherwise seated riding is kind of like getting a surfboard and catching a wave and then sitting down on a beautiful wave rather than using your legs to carve and control the board in the manner it was meant to be ridin .
@@JonnyK42.o totally get it! I have ridden so many things in my life and the electric unicycle is by far and away the funnest toy I have ever had in my life! Have fun out there!
Your riding style is very similar to mine. I keep my legs stiff and tight to the wheel and my toes off the front of the pedal. You can get a way with stiff riding for the most part when you have a suspension wheel. It's pretty bad for your knees otherwise and so i try to get into the habit of loosening up by carving more since my wheel doesn't have suspension.
I’ve been waiting for you to make this video. After watching your other v13 video I’ve already started riding one footed. I want to improve my stability and couldn’t figure out the best way to do that so that’s for giving us your technique. Much appreciated bro. 💪🏾
Toe one foot heel one foot pressure can help with wobbles. On my lynx I ride similar on road, trail I have feet further back and bent knees but still keeping contact. Also have pads press more into bottom of shin angled forward so more bent to hold that full shin contact on pads with knees level with front handle. Pads in a lot of video are L shape and mine are more J or Nike swoosh shape if that makes sense. I’d like to see you try someone’s v13 to compare to your v13 pro to see if it has any differences with torque/braking
I mostly do seated riding, never got a wobble seated. Personally I think the Bigger EUCs that go over 40 mph and weigh over 70 should be ridden seated. Ride it like a one wheel motorcycle with counter-steering and all that. But EUC makers don't know what they are making and UA-camrs/Current riders (us) are the crash test dummies trying to figure it out on the fly. The EUC makers usually don't give a seat, so most think to ride standing
Seated is nice but just isn't as maneuverable I think. I'm pretty darn comfortable riding standing. It's a lot of fun in the windy roads. I will be making a seat though soon.
first point on stability: do the exact the opposite of your plan of hugging the wheel with your shins and legs. your feet and hips and thigh muscles will get stronger over time. your stance is absolutely too upright especially for braking. if you are getting wobbles its cos your entire joint chain is too rigid. If you are trolling, kudos.
You really want to annoy people, strap a shake weight across the front so you have mass spring damping ;-) I haven't been able to try it, as I'm laid up, but I also have an idea that maybe adding a few hundred grams of tire balancing beads to the tire during a change will help knock down wobbles - since there is essentially no process for balancing a tire on an EUC, I think the lack of being able to tune the tire balance accurately contributes to random and surprise oscillations/wobbles and inconsistent behavior.
Good stuff! Thanks for all that! I will give that a try as a variation to other methods I use. I have definitely found that keeping my back straight and upright when braking makes a really big difference.
Feels like you are riding way too stiff for my liking. I keep knees slightly bent and never wobble aside from the first time I ever rode. On turns it makes contact on the outside knee but that's about it
Also, super good suggestion on buying some thing that's way faster than you will ever normally ride. I bought the Lynx because I love off Roading, and that thing goes way faster than I will ever ride. Remember also that a more powerful motor also allows for more powerful braking. Also, my wheel is super easy to get a wobble going at 30 psi. I'm pretty light, so I run my tire pressure at 21 psi and I rarely get wobbles anymore. And I hit curbs and never come anywhere close to touching the rim. Thanks!
Hey. I think you aren't right. I think it's important to not to push the wheel. A little bit is ok but extreme pushing creates wobbles. I ride a commander mini and i dont push the wheel alot. I control the wheel with the pedals and the wheel. But you are a new rider and it's ok. The main thing is fun. Second point safety. Bye
No, I am riding at the limit in very hilly and curvy terrain. My method is for stability and speed in this environment. This method is for that not just cruising.
