Personally my new favorite wheel which kind of does it all (for me).
Thank you for your video!
Marty, when you see rocks, FULL SEND and left JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!!! 😂😂
I liked his appreciation of the v14 at 18:16
Hope you’re ok Marty. Take care and good riding.
forever summer where you live and makes me depressed to watch this while i got slushy snow outside :(
Sorry about that :-)
Damn Marty! You had me really worried a few times. That was treacherous. And some people think you don't get excercise on an euc. LOL
Looks like it climbs hills effortlessly. Awesome.
Always great seeing you on a wheel Marty!
Thanks for taking me along on your awesome ride. When I grow up I wanna be just like you!
Thanks. LOL
Super cool! Thanks for the great video Marty! I'm 58 and my friends ask me why I am doing all this risky stuff. Well, I don't think it's all that risky and you answered it! Challenging your brain and challenging your body and pushing the edge a little bit, though keeping it safe, is what makes me feel alive. I have thousands and thousands of miles on my electric mountain bike but only 400 miles and 40 days on an electric unicycle. But I have been practicing four or five times a day in my backyard with low speed technical stuff, in addition to just getting out on the road and putting in the miles. The V12 is a great wheel but it's a bit tough on my knees and ankle when hitting bumps. I can't help myself so my Lynx is coming in about three weeks with the Kenda tires. 😂👍 this video has me totally inspired. As soon as I am comfortable with my skills I'm going to hit Sisar Rd in Ojai. It's a bit safer and gentler than Mount Wilson but it's still about 10 miles and 3700 feet of elevation gain. Between Ojai and Santa Barbara we have similar roads to yours with those fantastic views and just loving this awesome November/December weather. Thanks again for your great videos!
I get u completely mate... Just ordered the lynx.... Also 58 heh... Trouble is scotland has no euc dealers so we just gotta jump in and buy with no test out 😢... But I am buzzing lol😂
@@EUCScotland lots and lots of super good reviews so I think you did right and you are going to have a blast! Keep it safe and have lots of fun! 👍
@@EUCScotlandmerci d'avoir répondu a ma question. J'ai parcouru l'écosse en velo en 2017. Et justement je voulais savoir si EUC était autorisé dans votre pays :)
@@septicolore1634 I'm afraid not... We run in the shadows heh.... I wheeled in Paris this summer... Was fun
@alexanderbuchanan33 i never to ride in Paris. I hate paris...it's rubbish town 🤣🤣
“…and I don’t want to walk.” The rallying cry of EUC’ers everywhere, all types. Can’t stop, won’t stop! Good on you Marty!
Thanks for the video Marty. What a great wheel.
I’m glad your leg is back and standing strong Marty 👍👍👏 God Bless you brother
Thanks so much
Thank you for sharing also the less easy moments. Wishing you good ankle recovery and nice rides !
U R very lucky to have such beautiful riding trails handy all year !!!
I gotta compliment you on the aesthetics of your videos. Excellent editing, crisp HD quality and beautiful scenery in general. Keep it up.
Appreciate it!!
beautifull ride!
Great wheel and great video as always! Will you eventually try out the Commander gt pro ? Anyways great to see you back at it again much love from Seattle!
CA does have some fabulous off-roading. I'm surprised there aren't more mountain bike encounters up there. No suspension is a non-starter for me on off road. I did it once on the Sherman Max and my knees hurt for a long time afterwards.
I see the Lynx can take a hit
Great ride
The wheel looks nice and cushy like the s18s were , nice speed to Marty , Roger should get an air vest if he does not already have one .. I need to migrate to Southern California!id spend more of my life outside a whole more than here in the uk cooped up indoors … rain rain rain and wind and oh yeah rain .. cheers Marty merry Christmas man 👊🏻
Merry Christmas to you too
Thanks Marty for donating your body for our enjoyment. I enjoyed the video the views were spectacular. I hope to try that on my Patton when I get out there someday. Will you be loaning the Lynx to Roger to test on Anaheim hills? After seeing him and Dawn pushing it on all the downhills, drops, and jumps, I think it would be a fun video to see them put it to the test.
Anaheim Hills may be too abusive for my wheel :-)
This wheel is the one to get ✅.
Amazing views. I hope your ankle heals up soon. Great video of the Lynx being put to the test. looks like you used about 1/3 battery going up the 9.2 miles. Just wondering if you noted the battery percent when you got all the way back down to the bottom. Even if you took the road down I would be intereste in knowing how much battery was used overall or going down seperately. I have a Batch 2 Lynx on order from EWheels. Thanks the continuing great content. I hope one day we can ride together.

Looks like a great wheel. The only thing I’m not too sure about is the kickstand but I’m sure that can be reworked.
For me the kickstand has been fantastic. Hasn't been an issue during any of the jumping, etc. that Roger has been doing with the wheel.
my ankle is throbbing just watching ur video. i'm def too acrophobic for this ride. course i ride under rotten oak limbs daily, but don't u worry about a rock taking u down the side of the mountains.
Inmotion v14 next please. Thank you !
Still waiting for my V14 replacement
👍
It seems like your really liking this wheel. What kind of range are you getting from this? Do you like this wheel better than the Sherman S?
Do you think that those motocross armors protect against road rash enough? I'm still using summer motorcycle jackets because of the abrasion resistance... but it gets pretty warm where I live.
So I was considering buying the alpinestars bionic action v2. What is your opinion on that kind of protection, Marty?
Gear offers no guarantees, but something is better than nothing. Focus on wrist, elbow, and knee protection (and head). Anything extra is just a plus.
Great question. I have both street and moto riding gear. Street gear is about abrasion protection, asphalt protection, grinding skin down to bone, most often in high wind-generating speeds. Moto gear is about impact protection… in a hard work (sweaty) conditions, at far lesser speeds.
Be safe marty ...its very dangerous you are alone 😱😱😱
Great ride!
Did this EUC recuperate if you are going downhill?
Yes, plenty of regen
Sorry to see that your ankel was hurting Marty. I hope it will get better soon. At what percentage the wheel was at the beginning of the video, and how much range did the wheel use up that mountain?

@ElectricUnicycles FYI I pre-order the Lynx 🤣 no need to wait for more reviews. Seeing Roger's videos and seeing what he does to the wheels, I can safely say this wheel is solid lol
Hey Marty hope you’re doing well. What do you think the cell longevity between the 50s vs something like the 50s or even 40t? The Lynx seems like a great wheel for my use case but want it to last given the miles I put on.
I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the 50E's. Really depends on how you ride. 50E's have been used for a long time and people have put huge number of miles on the wheels.
@@ElectricUnicycles I thought the Lynx is coming with the 50s cells not the 50e? I know the 50e has proven itself to be a good cell but unsure about the 50s.
Your mt Wilson is just like Moses ‘s mountain where he speaks 2 God to get the 10 commandments on EUC 😂
How far was that guy gonna walk? Seems like a huge distance to walk.
Is there a wheel you'd say is best for off-roading with a big weight capacity in mind? I'm a bigger guy, so I'm curious if there's a wheel bigger guys gravitate towards. Awesome ride, I live nearby and hope to be riding these trails soon!
Honestly, I think the Lynx is it, unless your riding weight is 350-pounds. There are slightly bigger wheels (EX30, Sherman S, EB Commander Pro, etc) but they aren't as good for trails as lighter weight wheels like the Lynx. And I've seen really big guys ride much less powerful wheels then the Lynx.
So if you don't need the range that a 3600wh wheel is going to give you (see above list), the Lynx is the wheel to beat in 2024. IMHO.
@@ElectricUnicycles Appreciate the reply. I'm about 290lbs right now. During covid lockdown I lost 80lbs in roughly 5 months just hiking w/ my dog. Your videos are getting me in the mood to get back out there on the trails and get healthy again. 👍
@@jasras5003 I hope you do. Riding EUC's is a great way to reconnect with your community and nature. You might also consider the various 3600wh suspension wheels because of their bigger batteries which might serve you better depending on how you anticipate riding. But the Lynx can certainly handle your weight.
@@ElectricUnicycles That is super helpful information, much appreciated.
Which suspension do you use Marty? Do you have the 62 lbs. or the 66 lbs.? I am only 135 lbs - 140 lbs and I am not sure which suspension should I choose from Ewheels..
Mine is the 62-lb spring and it feels great (my riding weight is ~200-lbs). Absolutely go with the 62-lb spring.
Hey Marty, what tire pressure did you have on that run? Might be an illusion but it looked on the softer side. Cheers!
I run all my wheels at ~28psi
Thanks for that, keep the vids coming.
I'm really interested in this wheel, what do you think the price point will be at?
also 24:53 great save marty!
~$4k
Marty, if you could only have one all around wheel, what would it be? I'm deciding between the commander pro and the lynx.
If those are the two wheels than the decision should be fairly easy to make. If you need/want a wheel capable of longer distances than the Commander Pro. If you don't need the range of a 3600wh wheel and are OK with the price (you can probably find the Commander Pro for ~$1k less) than the Lynx is the wheel to beat. I absolutely love mine and it's the wheel I grab unless I'm going on a very long ride. The Lynx is a solid ~50-mile wheel and and get ~65-miles if you aren't pushing it hard the whole way. Hope this helps.
@@ElectricUnicycles So the Lynx is just the best yet! Everybody's raving about it. Thanks for the reply.
@@ElectricUnicycles Just put down a deposit on the Lynx! Thanks for the recomendation. You've ridden everything, so your opinion matters.
What Camera are you using? Insta 360?
Yes, Insta 360 X
Hello Marty, In your opinion are The veteran wheels the safest ?
I wish I could provide an objective answer. I don't think that Veteran wheels are any safer than others when ridden within their safe operating envelop. Every wheel type ever made has had failures.
Edging ever closer to a wheel that is possible to run NORRA 500
24:54 dropped!
What's your total milage on this wheel? I'm guessing 50 miles?
375-miles
@@ElectricUnicycles Ah, I meant in a run. from full battery to like 10%, mb.
Did you just contribute to green house gas production at 18:17. California frowns on that kind of activity 👈🏻🤠
Very funny CJ. It's my gear/cloths making that sound. LOL
The. “ahhh” at the end really drives it home hahahahaha😂
Why would you have that and an extreme. I'm trying to decide between the two, also you should really invest in motocross boots with ankle supports
Motocross boots really restrict foot movement (I own them). The Extreme is a great wheel. More nimble for technical riding. The Lynx has a more plush ride and generally I prefer 20-inch EUC's.
its +47⁰c???
Yes, although more than likely the board temperature was >10° cooler than what EUC World was reporting
Come on, just admit it 18:16
Admit what? The EUC World temperatures are not correct. Seba is updating the software.
Admit that you were passing gas lol@@ElectricUnicycles
