Learning How To Ride An Electric Unicycle

- Wondering what it takes to learn to ride an electric unicycle? Most people can learn, but it is like picking up a new skill similar to learning how to ride a bike. You can do it by yourself, and you just need a little practice.

I don’t even know why I’m watching this if I’m not planing on buying one.
Buy a Monaro instead
Its a car...😂
@Direct Netstores I broke a wrist on a hoverboard after my friend told me "just step off" (because he failed to mention not to step off in a forward direction). This guy in the video is saying exactly the same bullshit without telling you how hard these things can sweep under your feet in a blink of an eye if you're not warned about how powerful these things accelerate when you don't want them to.
cornflake and nobody tells u not to put a cat into a microwave, and yet only americans do that.. use your brain ..if youtube is not enough

BEST learning video I've seen so far. I just started today (55 year old guy) and was able to actually ride consistently. After stopping and reviewing some vids, this one applies best to me. I think the most valuable part was the portion where you did the one foot for extended distances with light touchdowns and emphasizing the body positions.
Hi, how have you been liking it? I'm just checking in and wondering. My dad is 55 as well and I was wondering if you ever experienced any difficulties or got hurt bad.
@@actavisSL2 Poor chap didn't make it. Beautiful maiden in spandex on a seatless unicycle distracted him and he went right through the red light. Cement truck never even felt him.
Hard to understand why they haven't outlawed spandex. So many lives could be spared.
@Actavis I am 52 and got a really bad ankle bite so far. Get safety gear and I think it's the safest pev out there.
Hey you guys sold me a V8F AND i love it. I'm 74 so i limit the speed to 15 and it moves me good. Today i was riding a good distance in the snow. Me and the wheel did great, kinda cold for the old guy but not horrible 17deg. I think.
If this 74 year old gentleman can learn to ride one of these in the snow, in 17 degree weather.... Nobody has any excuses 🤣
I'm going on about 2 weeks now and can easily ride my kingsong s18 with ease. Thank you stranger.
Age is just a number, right ?
@@hvguy hahah, you beat me to it dude
Hahaha lol hvguy
It's been a week since receiving my very first solo wheel and I'm sure that I would still be spilling out and letting the wheel get away from me, if not for this tutorial. On my first day, within hours I was riding without incident. By the end of the day I was riding with complete confidence. Great Job!
Yay! We are so glad this video has helped you! Ride on ✌
BTW, I'm 66 years old. If this fossil can learn, anyone can. Thanks again.
Great to hear! And it's true - when it comes to age, we've seen it all. :)
Good for you
Other than getting really dizzy spinning in a circle, your video has been extremely helpful for me as a first timer! This is definitely the best instruction out there. Thank you for making it!
Thanks Richard!
I may never scrape up the nerve to try one, but your instruction sure does make me feel that I could learn if I followed your lead. Good job.
You are a good instructor, you cover all the basics in detail, understandable and easy to practice.
Did strap his one foot onto the one side? Because when I try this the wheel runs away and doesn't stay balance like skate board to do that?
This is about the best method i’ve seen for learning to ride euc. Have been teaching riders for approx 4+ yrs and this is close to how we have people up ar going usually in 20 to 30 minutes. All the older vids on learning are outdated.
Thanks for posting

Good tips. Especially when you talk about posture. I am still in beginner mode. At age 58, I am been trying for an hour a day for about a week. I am really good at making a circle, but still need to work on foot control. I have to be more careful than most, so yea I have all the safety gear. Admittedly I look a little nerdy, but my safety is more important than trying to look glamorous. I can taste victory coming and I can't wait.
Just wanted to come back here and say that this video was an immense help when I was learning to ride. I've been riding since May and am very comfortable now, but those first forrays are indeed difficult. Using the tips in this video I was able to ride around my block in a matter of hours instead of days. Thanks again
As a day two rider, this is one of the more interesting tutorials I've seen. Will try the techniques tomorrow.
One of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. Well done. I learned a lot
Awesome video of great help, picked up a wheel today and worked out my first ride within 2 minutes. Now need more practice for fine tuning especially the turning. Thanks heaps for sharing.
I found that just relaxing and NOT looking at the ground right in front of your wheel or staring at the cycle was the biggest help. I learned that from many seasons as a ski instructor. And trying to go slow to avoid an accident is the worst thing, like a motorcycle or 2 wheel bike that is one of the hardest things to do.
In motorcycle training they teach you to look at where you wanna go. We often do this by instinct when driving a car but for some people it won't transfer into other skills such as this.
We often don't even notice we're doing it 🐱
This has to be one of the best tutorials. Thanks!
Thanks, it took me like 30 minutes to start riding the wheel after I watched this video. Very useful
After watching this clip 10 times I was up and commuting 17kms to work within a month! Awesome clip and advice!!
Excellent pedagogy - speaking as a teacher. You also inspire confidence and a sense of logical progression in each step of learning. I've owned 50 motorcycles and maybe that many mountain bikes. Time to move on to an EUC, and avoid killing myself in doing so.
Sounds like you're an adrenaline junkie. Some of these can go over 60mph. Amazon sells ones that go over 40mph. Sounds like pure stupidity on one wheel. I'm gonna keep this under 20 probably under 15 because we all know we will all fall many times. I can survive under 20. 🙏
The turning tip was the best piece of advice. It allowed me to totally ignore the wall grabbing part and move straight onto balance. Still haven't figured out how to stop comfortably yet.
finally a really instructive video! i have an airwheel mars rover q5. i barely used it 5-6 times in the past 3 years, simply because there wasn't a proper tutorial. million thanks for this tutorial. i will now attempt again.
Great video .Thanks for your help Just got my unicycle and definitely going to use your training methods. and take my time.
Love it! Very clear instruction! I'm a beginner.
Very good job. Thank you for this helpful demonstration 👍
Fantastic tutorial. Very comprehensive and makes the process not intimidating at all. I just unboxed my solowheel v3 tonight and this video has me very excited to try it out tomorrow
Glad to hear it!! Hopefully you are up and running now.
Please confirm if you’re still alive.
this video was very informative and it helped me tremendously with gaining confidence to ride my unicycle , thank you for such great detail in explaining each steps.
This is the first instructional video I landed on to learn how to ride the electric unicycle. I want one of these! I want to get a simple version to get started. Enjoyed this, saving this and subscribing. Excellent learning tool. Thanks for the step by steps in riding this vehicle! 👍🏾
I've watched a bunch of euc learning vids and this it the one that helped me most. I use a lot of these tips when showing new people too and it works a treat
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching :)
What a great teacher you are!
I watched a few of these videos and this one seemed the best by far.
Thank you. You have good technical
Thank you! Cheers from Palm Springs!
definitely copping one this summer
This is the best video out there for learning to ride.Basic and to the point.It was my go to video.
Great teacher very good to show how to use it the one wheel tumps up for you
For some riders (including me), it is easier to use support to mount and launch to learn to ride first (yaw and tilt steer) before trying to free mount. Since I learned to ride first, I didn't (and still don't) one foot glide, just step and hop on like a skateboard. However, based on this and other videos, a lot of new riders do just fine with the one foot drills and step and tap method, although it seems like it would be more tiring. Another issue is for an experienced motorcycle rider (I started back in 1966, but it wasn't till 1968 that I was properly counter-steering, I'm 70 years old), where you learn that looking isn't going to turn a motorcycle, only (counter) steering inputs. To prepare for lane changes, I"m looking to the side and back while going straight, and also looking to the side for cross traffic at intersections. One of my early goals when learning to ride my V8F was to be able to move my arms and|or look around without upsetting balance or changing direction.
Just got one today, this is a helpful video. Thanks!
Great tutorial. However I don't live near a large body of water so I improvised by riding next to a kiddie pool.
Esso a sewer works too
Worrisome despite fabulousness... is this dude going to make me lose my wheel to the river...? FFS hes closer to this issue... WTF dude? bail! bail!
Great? He is telling it to practice next to the water... try not to loose your wheel! For sure will not happen when you are trying first time... what a stupid tutorial.
@@krecikowi he literally says don't do it near a body of water find a rail near land cuz you'll lose it to the water!
Thanks, looking forward to getting one.
Excellent.
I want to start now, I was inquiring and or seen your video.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
Just ordered mine. Thanks for the tutorial
Great to hear and glad it helped!
I just ordered a V5F. Can't wait to learn this!
thanks going to try tomorrow got to learn the ap too good jon
Thank you, it"s a very good tutorial. Congratulations.
I’ve been struggling for a few days now and I didn’t think about the little hops. I recently got an EXN and I’m still learning
Excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing.
really good instructional video. thanks!!
Thank you so much for those helpful tips!
Thanks mate for your HOW TO VIDEO I so want one asap. 👍🏾👍🏾 😎 🖖🏾
Heck yea 🤙!
Thanks for all the great videos!
Fab vid. Thank you. Hoping that the UK finally allows this great and green form of travel.
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks. Very informative video!
Awesome I have an eye on this product . I just need to get more info like this and on the euc. Thank you
I got myself the v8 Your video on learning was the best advice I've seen, I followed your advice for 3 days. I got it going great after I got going I went 4 mile down by the Brisbane river, unreal feeling only problem I can't turn, can you help out with some advice, I'm a bit slow being 71 but that won't stop me.
John Haig I’m impressed. I’m 62 and thought I would be the oldest rider I ever saw on a V8. For turning, I’d suggest getting used to tilting the wheel left or right to turn, or use your shoulders and turn them in the direction you want to go, or a little or both. I find it extremely helpful to look exactly where I want to go, even if I’m going in a straight line. Good luck!
Great inspiration. 👍
Yay, another older person does it. I'm 60 and was thinking this might be crazy. Well, maybe it is. The wheel arrived yesterday, so we'll see!
Great good to hear your story. I want one of these and I'm 73 but I think it would be so good for me. Looking for the wheel deal.
@@60viking you guys are old, I'm 52 but my wife ways I'm going on 14 with these toys
Thanks for the info teach. Going to try it.
You're a great teacher!
I'm learning to do deliveries on. For my job. I heard these things are fast
They are fast some expensive ones can go 40mph+. The wheels are like bycicle tires so its comfy.
Hey man me too! Just went with the V10F for it's long range. You end up finding a model? Let me know id love to hear ur input. My biggest fear would be falling with food on me loool
@@adriandurlej9266 i already fell with food on me on my OneWheel Pint. I bought fangs for it and now right in elevated mode.
For EUC im looking at the King Song 16x
@@NatsumeKonno ahh dude yeah the king song slaps. Kind of wished I went with the ks-18 but it would of been another $600 or so (I'm in Canada). Ks-16 has a huge battery and costed simular price. Great choice tho! Definitely going to take my time to learn EUC and not rush it on delivery till I'm comfortable. Good luck!
@@NatsumeKonno also you ever consider getting a seat? The ks-18L has one. Is it viable at all with delivery or is it best to stick with standing as you get more options. Also I've seen tons of options of people DIYing a seat lool
Probably the fastest way to learn! Thank you. When can we expect the V10Fs in the UK please?
You're gonna love it! You'll have to reach out to your seller for estimates on arrivals.
Best learning video I've seen
thankyou, great video !
Totally the best lesson! I just got the KS18L. I don't want to graduate from a smaller one. I'm learning in my living room for the carpet. I'll do your hop method soon. Thanks! BTW, could you show us how to bounce down stairs?
Ok, so Im going to go and try. Very nice tutorial.
Fantastic video! Amazing cycle!!!
Just the video I needed. Have a Segway a mini Segway and a Onewheel, got the EuC today and this is very different. I could get started when I held onto a car. Only got to spend about 20min with this so far. Watching this Is should me get going, I got the V8
I had someone whizz past me on this while on their phone and a latte in the other hand. It was hilarious but somehow really cool.
I am sooo tempted to get one of these.
Thank you!
OK, wow, one thing to note about the short pushing-off movements with only one leg on the wheel: you absolutely need side-padding where your shin rests against the chassis, because that thing will not support you while you lift your other leg off the ground unless you're tilting it and leaning significant weight into it through your shin. Without padding this exercise will get painful real fast and you will not get to the phase where you can make longer and longer distances with one leg in the air.
Great tutorial! Really, covers everything
Hey thanks!
Thank you sensei. I will take your teachings to heart when i get my first unicycle tomorrow
You can do it! 🎉
I'm planning to buy one, I'm from the Philippines love your content ❤️
got 1 my inmotion.... so fun to go around with
Awesome tutorial.
Thanks. I needed that.
so good, thank you very much!
The best EUC training video out there. Other techniques use less steps, which may be okay for some. But for me, this technique has gotten me the furthest.
thanks! jus ordered my ar+
Thats the idea of Platform like yt
to show other people in our world
how things work
and how did i managed it for myself ♡
Greetings from Germany
Best learning Tutorial !!!!
Thanks !
Thank you so much !! ❤️
Im waiting for my v8f delivery from you and it due on Friday. Ive been riding a V3 style wheel for a year but because of my old age it's going to be a learning curve again, I'm so excited. (Per Robin)
Looks like my fav part of Mission Bay, Ski Beach!
Awesome tips
Great vid .. thanks a lot ..quick question to the inmotion guys - do you offer a protective bag for the v10f as well ? I know that you offer that for the v8 ...what about the v10f ?
Thanks !
Thanks a lot 🖐😁👍
Thank you for the useful lesson))
Andrey Utochkin thanks! Glad it helped.
Thank you
omg.. the "not this" position/pose actually made me laugh cuz i hit mute for like 3 seconds and had 0 context - i played it back and still laughed again.
Excellent Video, I don't own a EUC but If I ever do get one I'll refer to this video.
Awesome 😎 thanks brother 🙏
excellent video
I am planning to get this unicycle sometime soon,, or soonish. This video will come in handy. ^^
Just got mine - my first wheel but I owned a Segway i2 for several years. I know this is different and I’m nervous, but I was once nervous about all of my e-rideables. I told myself that when deciding to get this. I always start holding something, then the next thing ya know, i don’t need to hold anything. Same with this. Day one (indoors only) and I don’t need to hold anything to get on or off. Day 2 and I’m able to roll about a foot before hopping off. My goal is to learn it by summer and right now it’s winter, so no rush.
Great tutorial 👍
Good video thanks dude...
Honestly a Good Teacher
Exceptional teaching video. 👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
I learned a lot. Thanks. I recently bought a Tesla V3.
great video!!!
