I buy most of my wheels from EWheels. Why? Because of their selection, price, and perhaps most importantly, Jason's dedication to customer satisfaction and his ongoing support of the community.

Inmotion scored big with the V11. Thanks Marty
With the V11 being a die hard wheel, I'm finding this video helpful 3 years later!
Thank you
I like this guy cause he really gets down to the nuts and bolts. Was thinking about getting veteran untill I saw his stress test and follow up video. I'll trust his word over any other cause no one else really touches on that all
Cleanest install I've seen yet. Thanks!
Another reason to get the v11!.thanks for the video . I'm 6feet tall and i.cant seat on my 16x . After a few miles in I always need to stop because my feet hurts or.get numb . Can't wait to get my v11 to do this mod .
Man you take reviewing to the next level - this is very creativ and add more to the v11 advantages. Its the smooth long journey wheel for relaxed ppl. - Or even ppl with back problems .
You'll love the V11, especially if you enjoy seated riding :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles I have not tried it yet, only on horses. That went well but it took a while to learn (joking mate)
Brillaint video as always mate.
Great modification, looks quite secure being attached to a metal handle. Was initially a bit concerned about damage to the handle from any sideways seat movement leveraging onto it. The music and riding on the road is just so soothing. Thanks for making these great vids.
Chop end of hex wrench to make it a stubby tool. It could be made to fit easily. Custom tool required, very cool man, this v11 is really growing on me. Love your videos on it.
Initially got interested in EUCs because I saw a dude going 25mph while sitting on his wheel on the beach path in Long Beach, CA. Been looking to buy my first wheel and the V11 looks like a real winner. Wish I could try one out before buying.
You might find local rider go to facebook group Electric Unicycle dot org EUC or to this site:: forum.electricunicycle.org/
V11 is a very good choice for beginners .... qwell for anyone really.
If you don't know how to ride one, it wouldn't do much good to try one before buying. These are kinda like riding a bike. You probably won't be able to ride on your first try, but with practice, like a bike, anyone can do it.
Wow, this is very useful video Marty, thank you a lot, I've learnt a lot thanks to you.
Road testing this - Its very very good. Better braking using the bikesaddle and more chill for longer journeys.
Great!!! My feet cramp after 1 hour. With your idea, that problem ends. THANKS. (Vivo en Medellin Colombia )
You sold me Marty..when I get my v11..I'm off to the bike shop for these additions
AWESOME 😎 thank you for the DIY videos !!
This is exactly what I had planned!! I knew that handle would be perfect for mounting a bike seat! Should be getting mine in about 3 weeks!! Flip that piece attaching seat to spring over - that's what the slot in the seat is for,to get an Allen wrench in to tighten it lol
This works for me, but it can be adapted an infinite amount of ways.
Steve O you think the slot in the seat is solely there for the purpose of allowing access to the bolt if it’s facing up? Do you have a reason to think that it’s not for ergonomic reasons? I always thought it was there to relieve stress on your tailbone. Your Coccyx. I didn’t think access to the bolt was normally a problem, but that’s a clever idea to flip it up.
@@darkstar4494 well either way that split makes tightening through the seat with an Allen wrench so simple! And it's easy to fine-tune while out riding.
Great job Marty, must say looks like that seat was made for the V11 much better match up with the pcs involved, than on some of your previous mounts ..I like it 😜👍
😳 i need a v11🥺 wow seating a 6@3 guy this wouls be easy😍 thank you for making this video .
Marty nice video. I would do the same if I had a V11. May get one one day.
Mate you deserve more likes and views!
I wonder, wouldn't a handlebar help a lot when seated? Particularly if you want to ride more casual or if you have to break quickly.
No, it really wouldn't :-)
I think I'll try this with a big beach cruiser seat on the spring
Thanks Marty. I still have all of these parts from when I Moded my 16X before I got the seat made for it. I will definitely be putting it on my V11... Whenever it gets to me... LOL
Will use your great idea on my v11 thx
The foam seat I got with my 16x is falling apart already.. Too bad the trolly handle is angled. I’ve been trying to think of a way to make a better seat for it as I love riding seated.
Love your seat mods, I know you have a bunch of wheels, have you thought about when using a block you could drill two horizontal holes for the seat mount to make one seat interchangeable between all your wheels that you mod.
One seat and a bunch of custom blocks tailored to each wheel.
Good idea, but when I want to ride I don't want to take the time to uninstall and install a seat. But it may work for someone.
great job 👍🏾 thank you for the idea 🙏🏾
Marty you are amazing sir!! Thanks brother 🙏
Someone send this man the s18 already... It will help my decision on which to buy
Kind of a weird question: With the shock absorber that you're mounting the seat on the seat is tilted up. Does it cause any discomfort with your junk when sitting down?
In practice it doesn't. But as I mention in the video, it's easy to adjust the angle. It's actually not very comfortable when the seat is level or pointing down, when you are descending hills. Can feel like you're sliding down.
use wet molding for leather, way easier and your leather won't suffer as much as if it's being work dry. nice idea though, and instead of the tape you could have used a giant heat shrinking sleeve.
There's a million ways of doing anything :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles sure is
I think I'm going to do that..I wasn't sure at first because of how sketchy diy can be for me but nah the original v11 seat feels a lot more dangerous, also it hurts the side of my knees when standing
will update if i'm succesful and don't die falling with this
also just wondering which size hose clamp are you using? biggest one I can find are 51mm but it still feels too small for this project
hoping to get a response quickly :)
@@cheshire_ It's been a long time so I can't provide you the actual size. I would use a piece of string and simulate the clamp and then use the string length to arrive at the clamp size. Good luck.
Looks legit to me. Cool idea. I can’t tell from the video, but does the trolley handle close as designed with this seat attached the way you installed it? Have you tried zip ties in place of the hose clamps?
The handle still closes as intended. I would never trust zip ties in this scenario given that lateral forces involved while riding.
@@ElectricUnicycles Oh OK. Good to know. I trust your judgment and experience on it. Thanks for your reply and the info. Stay safe riding!
I did it today! Thank you
Great :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles my v11 is with wheel bent. My first day jump. So sad !!!
Maybe have to just get over the unappealing visual of the seat. I'm old what do I care if it looks odd.
That huge blocky Monster seat looks better? ;-) In the case of a seat I choose function over form.
Question is the in motion v11 a euc for a beginner ( meaning) no experience at all ) thank you for your time
Absolutely. The V11 would be a great first wheel.
Don't you put to much stress on the hinge of the trollyhandle?
I would rather glue and duct tape 3 or 4 yoga blocks together to make one single block. And cut out the handle shape. Drill a hole to each side of the single block for a rope.
Stick some gel pads on top of the block.
The block shouldn't rest on the handle.
Whatever works for you, go for it. This works for me :-)
kind of neat.
Very good - thx
Do you think this video could apply to the V8s?
Yes. This technique, using the bicycle seat spring mount, will work with all EUC's that have a similar handle. I'm used it on multiple wheels. I would only caution you that the V8 is a small wheel so it may be too short to be effective for seated riding.
Top top top thanks
-very cool.
Great vid. What are u using to record audio with ur 360 cam btw?
See Description for equipment list
That's a cool mod :)
Is that the 33 from Ojai to Bakersfield?
No. It's the Glendora Mountain Road in Southern California
Hello, may I have a hint how to not show the selfie stick in your videos?
See equipment list in Description
Where can you get the spring mount
Read the Description
How much would a used V11 wheel with the seat come?
I really don't know. It'll be hard to find a used one (particularly with the rare seat) and everyone thinks their used wheel is worth a different value.
if you fall, isn't it easier to break the shell?
Probably
the people who dont like riding seated are all the same people who constantly push their EUC and always end up face planting and acting like they dunno why their EUC dumped them on the ground when they are doing superman leans with 30% battery and stuff. some people just are not happy unless they are in peril, i dont understand them, and they dont understand me, ive had enough peril in my life, i like things slow and steady and smooth.
So two months later any issues or all good?
More like a year I think :-) This was a loaner wheel but I never had any issues for the duration that I had it.
@@ElectricUnicycles Ahh, nice, thank you.
Marty did I hear that u r selling 1or 2 of your wheels “ and one of them is the 18XL?
Maybe, but no plans right now.
ElectricUnicycles ok I’ve got a 18xl and love the range on it 🇬🇧🙏
how tall you are?
5'11"
I don't think the handle was designed to support 180 pounds bouncing on top of it. Can't wait to get my own V11 but I will be riding it standing, as intended.
Did you know that Inmotion makes an official seat for the V11? So I don't understand your comment "riding it standing, as intended". I personally know other people, who weight more than me, who have seats mounted to the handle. Nothing has broken.
So, are you sitting on your V11? It’s made for seated riders too. 😎
Do you think this can work with a v8f?
Probably but it's a much smaller wheel. If you're a tall guy it would probably be uncomfortable.
@@ElectricUnicycles im only 5'9
@@ElectricUnicycles thank you for replying so soon
what is the average speed on this video?
Sorry, I don't keep detailed records like that, but in general between 20 and 25 mph
It won't last long - all the weight goes to the small hinge of the v11 handle! Perhaps it is better to fix the two handles of the v11 and make them integral with each other ...
Tell that to the people who've ridden thousands of miles with it. Mine never failed. Thanks for the comment you. I'm sure it could be improved, but it's kind of an old wheel now (this is a 2-year old video)
@@ElectricUnicycles Obviously I was speaking for myself, I weigh 105 kg and I really don't think that handle can hold them! My V11 has 5 months of life and 1000 km, I plan to do many more. I am sure that a seat would help, and your video is of great help, because the seat is neither too high nor too bulky, and besides, I would already have the right one, I should only buy the seatpost to put under it. But I would also add an additional fixing, so that the stresses are discharged on the frame and not on the handle.
@@riccardovacchi1362 Your comment didn't seem obvious (to me 🙂) that it was your personal experience. Sorry, and thanks for the clarification. I can tell you that with this seat configuration the V11 was the most comfortable seated ride that I ever had. You would probably love it.
Жду чтобы тоже поставить
Держится отлично?
Interesting how I'm getting ads for USAA insurance while watching this video.
