Welcome to the EUC world! You will now be hooked and looking for many ways to pimp your wheel as well your gear. Learning will get easier. Just keep it up.
Thanks for the encouragement. I just did my first free mount today. I'm hoping to get some good time in on the weekend and hopefully I'll be less shaky.
Good for you!!!!! I think every move you made in this video is something just about every new rider will end up doing in one form or another. Nothing unexpected and most looks very familiar!! Sure takes me back to my first days of learning. Glad you wrapped the wheel to give it a bit of protection. The overall soreness will disappear as your skills improve and it will be well worth your efforts. Very pleasing to watch you getting dialed in towards the end of the video. Stick with it and give us an update video to show your progress. You put a smile on my face, thank you!! Oh, and as stated below........it is addicting!!
Thanks for the encouragement. It is fun, but it can be frustrating when progress is slow. I'm getting a bit smoother, but I find every new type of terrain is a challenge, and surprising things are hard. I rode about 7.5 Km on Sunday, but it was all back and forth on the same paved trail. I was worried I wouldn't be able to run the battery down before the snow flies, but I finally have it down to 3.7V per cell. I'll keep practicing until the ice comes. Ever since I started moving faster than my camera woman the footage has become more rare. Maybe in the spring we'll get something with the drone. I wrapped the body with a towel, but I managed to scratch up the handle. In one of the runaways in the video it actually rolled down the hill by having the whole body roll, not just the wheel.
Thanks! I'm feeling more stable now, but every little bump is still a challenge. I'm going to have to stop for winter soon, but I'm glad that I managed to get started before the snow flies.
Yeah, once I got to the point where I could roll at all I found it much easier on hard surfaces. But I want to keep doing some practice on grass because it seems to improve my balance a lot.
Took me a week to be able to roll without fence/wall for support (in the video). Two weeks later and I'm getting better at tight turns and I can occasionally mount without support. I still have a ways to go before I'll feel confident just hopping on and going cruising. I had a great session yesterday, but the snow is about to fly so it looks like I'll have to pick it up in the spring.
When I take it, my commute is about 60 Km, which would be a bit long on this thing. There are a few reasons I probably won't commute to work with this, but hopefully I can have some fun. Hope your foot gets better.
Great job! Way to stick with it!
Welcome to Wheel Life!! 🔥🔥 Great video Thanks for sharing!
Changed my life! I'm sit riding on the Hero now and its a blast!!

Learning will get easier. Just keep it up.
Hilarious and inspiring!
That's how I started 9 months ago, and now I can drive pretty well😁👍keep it up

Your getting better and better! 🤙 let’s see an update

You'll get it, you'll be riding the beeps on that kingsong before you know it.
So far I've only made it to about 19 km/h. That actually felt pretty good, but I'm not going to go any faster until I get better at stopping.
On the grass, it is much easier starting downhill. Yet, it is on a nice hard surface that it is best to learn.

Ahh well the Brazilians learned to play soccer on sand and bare feet 😂 😂 well done sir... I'm old but went thru this... Now I ride lynx
Thats awesome. I just bought one as well. How long before you were cruising around?

Is that your new mode of transport to work? Looks interesting. Although my foot couldn’t handle that anymore since i broke it.

Hope your foot gets better.
Be careful or you might get tremendously addicted to it! 😅
