I guess we can say, that we’re grateful for all the wounds you endured.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t know that the hypothetically-perfect street tire would wobble so much.
The side by side comparison was amazing. It really helped determine how each tire perform.
Your video concept, editting & video making skill is great indeed. You knew that you’ll need side by side comparison, thus your friend in the video. Thank you Kuji, thank you so much!
keep in mind it could be a bad batch of tires.. it happens lol
eh nyampe sini juga
The whole video I keep wondering in the back of my mind if the guys at Veteran are watching your video going “yup that’s why we chose the knobby tire in the first place”
definitely i do
Was thinking the same ...Kuji is great but they are engineers
Coming from 20+ years on motorcycles my first thought with that high speed wobble was wondering if the tire had been balanced. Reading the comments, I'm not surprised to see so many others wondering the same. The same goes for any tire really, low speeds you may not notice it at all, however higher speeds exponentially increase the fact that there is a weight displacement and thus you get that nice "death wobble" as I've always called it at higher speeds lol. Anyways, I'm not sure how I ended up at this video but it was a great watch! Get that tire balanced and give it another shot before you dismiss it first! =)
Congrats on your first Sherman review going viral!! You deserved it Kuji!!
@ROTC megaFAN evidence?
@ROTC megaFAN If only you could harness that MEGA propulsion coming out your arse...
So this is why kuji is gone. A youtubers curse, where they make a viral video, cannot replicate the success and give up.
How can I get this product? Who can help us? Brothers. I want one. I am in Turkey, Istanbul. How much does it cost? How can I get it?
Kuji wins the limbo contest! I can’t believe how low he got when he went under that street crossing arm when it was down. 😂 Watch the shadow figure on the ground in front of you when you are crashing in slow motion.
You're an absolute maniac on these wheels man, I love it. Watching your confidence as you speed through certain terrain and riding out wobbles blows my mind
I’m sure you’ve healed up a bit by now already, but for the type of injury you sustained to your hands, I highly highly recommend hydrocolloid bandages. I had a similar wipe out a few years ago, and it’s the only thing that controlled the constant wound weeping and allowed it to heal properly, while also giving me back use of my hands.
That's what I'm using now. They are fucking awesome. No more bandages that get stuck into the wound
i have a feeling they will eventually release a v.2 of this thing in a year or more with suspension and better pedal clearance, once they do that. this will be virtually a flawless wheel.
That’s why I’m waiting I would get this wheel if it had suspension just cus it’s safer
Glad you came away from that crash in tact, man. As always, wonderful review.
LOL your commitment to the video is so good!!! Still reviewing the wheel just after the crash!
That was a dangerous fall
Suspension wheel is probably a requirement at high speeds. Roads can have bumps in sneaky places.
I didn’t know about EUC, we where talking at my friend’s place when i saw another one of your test footage and now i want one of these really bad haha!! Your review’s are really professional and tested to the edge of what any one you test can reach and sometime’s beyond the limits by seeing you crash few times already so goooood job, if you need a snow and ice tester up north give me a call😂❤️🤟🏼
Awesome videos! I like seeing all the new riding spot and your new friend =D, very VERY surprised that the knobby is better at high speed, that is exactly what I would have predicted. And that fall.. ouch!
I'm disappointed. I need to find a less-sensitive street tire
@@KujiRolls Isn't Veteran supplying some percentage of their wheels with a street tire? Do you know what street tire they are using?
Looks as wide as my Z10 tyre. I wish you a speedy recovery bro👍🏾
@@KujiRolls And better protection, maybe check out the road before doing these kind of speeds on it.
Great review and thanks for taking the risks so others don't have to. For me the choice is clear. First I'm not buying this machine to go 30mph or less. That's like getting a sports car and driving 55 all the time. Second, if someone with your skill set has problems handling that street tire at speed it means I should stick with the more stable knobby tire. It's too bad because the increased street noise is annoying and slow speed handling appear to suffer but I guess you can't have everything. Hope you heal quickly.
The lack of suspension on the Veteran, at those speeds, is really what made you fall.
Maybe, a little bit of suspension travel might surely help to keep keep the contact patch planted at the surface at all times, well most of the time depending on how you ride I suppose haha? But yeah sure, my wish is too see just a tad suspension and properly made, sturdy and no cheap, weak parts or constructions involved. Problem I see at this point in EUC evolution is that they need to start thinking about evolving these wheels in 2 different directions, you want street or off road? A longer suspension could potentially become expensive and perhaps complicated if wanting to get away with a "all in one" type wheel, for me looking for the fastest most rugged possible city wheel I would not want a long suspension travel, just something that can keep that contact patch and swallow seen and unseen obstacles and that is all. But fully understand others want a gigantic amount of movement for acrobatics or off road at the enduro trail. Will be interesting to follow development next few years and see how they solve technical challenges ahead without cost running out of control or quality suffer?
And pedal clearance
luffararne I agree. For me, just stability and safety matter. Segway PT had two models - i2 and X2. One for the street/tours and one for off roading. The X2 had huge diesel-looking wheels.
That's why I plan to also get the V11/a gotway msp or monster.
Yes, thats what he said in the video right after. But good detective work
Just an amazing video. Falls are unavoidable on a unicycle. The angle of attack you can take is really amazing compare to the first generation of the 2012/ 2015 units.
WOW, what a video. The knobby tire although loud it seems to cause zero wobbles and so much grip (which was my experience). The street tire based on your video seems iffy. Very glad you're ok Kuji. Get well fast
Production AND crash levels are INSANE. Dailying a motorcycle is bad enough, now I want one of these!
Damn you! >:D
commontreasures.com/
Clocked about 1h30m on my KS 18L and I know it will come with practice but the way Kuji turns son quickly is insane!
Queue all the comments on how to avoid wobbles ;-) Great video Kuji.
Go up overheat hill on a hot day - wait, no...
Thanks Marty. I find weaving side to side helps with wobbles. I wish there was a riding stimulator where I could experiment
Can't wait to see what you can do with an Abrams...
And Thank you for your input....got my Veteran in March and have been building up my Frankenstein ever since.
Great to see you pushing the wheel like this on mixed gradients. This was my main question.
Definitely recommend the company make that handle lock securely into the chassis to prevent the thing impaling someone upon impact.
shin, elbow, and hip guards!. I got these pants that have pads installed for the hips, saved my hips from lots of bruising
Another great video by Kuji "Full Send" Rolls
Sick episode!! And that trail riding looks fun !! Be nice to see some design innovation to address pedal scraping in the next gen of these Ewheels…
Ordered one a month ago. Can't wait. Have experience with EUCs a lil bit so not new. Rode my buddies Sherman and just had to get one.
I have over 10,000 miles on my Onewheel XR and wanted more of a serious vehicle for traveling.
At 5:07 this man is going faster than mopeds
Thanks for the review!
I’m so torn now between the S18 and the Sherman. I don’t know which one I want more. I want them both 😂
Kuji love your work. Loving the tyre reviews too. Thank you
Street tire it is. I’m sure stability won’t be an issue once the seat comes out.
It will
So it's called a speed wobble.
And It happens on motorcycles as well.
The tread pattern on the tire may be causing it to wobble like that, Harley Davidson iron 883 used to come with a front tire with a similar tread pattern to yours and it would wobble pretty badly under acceleration and heavy breaking similarly to your tire.
If you are already taking the tire off to put the knoby one back on, you might as well experiment with different tires.
Plus it's content for your channel.
Tread pattern is a great point. I wonder how a racing slick would behave. Maybe it’s time to start thinking about high-speed stabilizers. Perhaps a wing or what about gyroscopic. Maybe the software can detect and correct. Everyday I ride a KS16X with stock tire with a similar tread pattern. At max psi, (37) it’s flick-able and dangerously wobbly above 30Kph. It seems the lower the air pressure, the more stability. Contact patch? How about a softer rubber? I would trade tire durability for speed.
@@bryanreidsands6854 I'm not an engineer, so I have no idea how you could correct speed wobbles on a one wheeled vehicle.
On motorcycles it corrected for through the bars/forks, but since these don't have handle bars or front forks.
Your guess is as good as mine.
But as far as your tires are concerned, look for something with no rain groves on the center portion of the tire.
Especially like this one that has a continuous squiggly grove down the center patch.
Slicks should work to eliminate any wobbles for heavy acceleration and heavy breaking.
But are going to slide around on you in the rain, so if you don't ride in the rain that's fine, but if you do then take it slow.
Or just look for a street tire with rain groves and a clear center patch.
Also as far as air pressure is concerned.
If you are very concerned about fuel economy, high top speed, and getting the most distance out of your battery, keep the air pressure at the maximum the tire allows.
But if you want more contact with the ground, better acceleration, better braking, more comfortable and better riding experience. Lower the air pressure.
But personally I wouldn't say lowering the air pressure will "fix" or reduce the chance of speed wobbles on a poorly designed tire.
But if it has been working for you, then that's good.
But I still recommend replacing the tire. Cause the moped/scooter tires that they use in these are dirt cheap and you're only buying 1.
I just love how this video is filmed the bussling city and how informative it is but I never knew of these EUC till I found this channel i might just try to learn to ride one.
Once again flawless review thanks, they should call you Kuji flat out Rolls ! Whatever wheel you ride, its maximum attack no matter what kind of terrain, Its full bass every time LOVE DAT SHIIIIIIIT 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was one egg beater of a crash tho, maybe some more protection in future. Look after yourself man, we all appreciate your vids we don't want you to get busted up just for a review...... thx again.
Geez that fall was shocking. Glad you're not hurt worse. They can add speed and suspension, but I hope the wheel makers can start figuring out ways to reduce wobble.
Before I saw the results of the crash, I was questioning how much road rash you would get. OUCH!
great video like always. always pushing the limits...and accident...just stay safe. your health is more important then to have a speeding experience. its still illegal here in germany to ride the euc's. but still hoping that it will become popular and legal. till then i am enjoying to watch others in videos like this. ✌🏻
Suspension might have saved you !!! Hopefully they working on a suspension model next.
That wheel told us 2 intresting things: where is weight limit and that cool looking tire isn't the best one.
I don't even own anything like this let alone a bicycle, and I like this. Yooo ! Greets from Thailand.
I don't know how the hell I started watching this shit but its cooler than a polar bears toe nails. I like the production and I can appreciate the work put into this channel. Plus the music kicks donkey butt
This is not the end of Sherman reviews, now you must explore the wonderful world of tires and wheel balancing!
Be careful, my friend!
Nice man. Thanks for this. I honestly love my knobby tyre - minus the slow speed control.
this is honestly my favorite channel now idk why but I just love it
"I regret nothing!!!"...(...crash, tumble roll..) Lol, excellent tire comparison! Glad you got only some minor scrapes. A reminder to everyone watching to wear their gear. You are the most expensive and irreplaceable piece of equipment you will ever own.
You convinced me I need a suspension.
I put knobbies on my motorcycle, and they just about walked me off the road in a turn on the highway at about 55 mph. I really had to lean into it to survive.
man, you ride with NO FEAR AT ALL, incredible man how you ride, no one do it better than you , thars for sure
Jesus dude. How fast is that thing? You just ate a super sized bucket of fecal matter. Youre a badass. 😎👍
Thank God you’re ok, that was a real nasty fall. Seems there’s a reason why they went with the knobby tire. So far there’s practically just one thing that I find offputting about this wheel, how complicated and messy it gets if you need to change a tire.
I think you should go try going over that same bump with the knobby tires. They were added for good reason, the manufacturer knows very well that these will go offroad, hit potholes/bumps, etc.
Just got my Veteran Sherman Max and still no return of Kuji. Where you at man?
Hi! It would be amazing to see detailed videos on entry level wheel too! I'm new in this field and I can't find good quality content about ks-14D (for example) ad so on. Great Channel!
I'm sure the wobbles will go away after a while then you will experience the true potential of the street tyre. Knobby tyre is more stable though so that's understandable but I reckon you'll switch back in the long run
Nasty fall you got there
Congratulations Kuji, amazing video. 😎
Solute to a real one ☝🏼 the crash motivated me to subscribe, great edit. WS ✊🏼
There are hybrid tires that you could try if you're not willing to put this to bed yet. So an "in the middle" between the super knobby and super smooth. If I could get one of these where I live I would gladly try it out.
Goddamn :D that fall and the ending 14:53 omegalol dat face: "You probably wonder how I got here.."
Great videos Kuji, keep them.. rolling in :)
Best EUC channel on UA-cam! Keep hitten it outa the park boss!
The Veteran Sherman does everything digitally and physically but 1 thing. The street tire is extremely wobbly no matter what you say do do not get the street tire version. I only weight 136lbs/62kg It only takes 26 to 27 mph/ 41kph to make the wheel start to wobble. Doesn’t matter if you are accelerating or if you are you decelerating the speed, it will wobble. Luckily if you have great balance you can prevent a fall from the wobbles or Time and time again which is what I did but the security I thought was there is not.
OMG just got to the fall, wow! Glad you are alright
The only thing i have to complain about your videos, is that i can't find the awesome musics on it, and that's because i live in south america (Brazil), I tryed VPNs and some asian music streamers, but i can´t find "Pickle Jaeyoung". Beside my geographic problem, your videos are awesome in so many levels! Congrats!
Hi from France, Cavaillon (84), crazy wheel! it must give when hiking in the mountains, just to have the pleasure of the landscape in addition! What if in the next video, we followed you with a drone in a fantastic place that you would show us? Several interests in a single video ... which are the shops of your protections? What do you think about? thank you and keep having fun, we love it!
Sick scoop on this gig dude,,,, thanx for the infogig for real...... 🤙🏽
PS! I forgot to add a little bit of advice from a person of extreme sports. It’s got to do with road rash/road raspberries. When you fall and you get these third-degree road rash burns anywhere on your body. The remedy is quite simple. Take a sandwich baggie and cut it 2 inches larger than the road rash. Then apply triple antibiotic me a sporran to the wound. Then tape the plastic over the wound. I have a literally hit a nail on a skateboard ramp and pulled my pad completely off and knees with out leaving an amazingly horrific raspberry. I added nearest born to the hall and then taped on the plastic and Skateboard and the rest of the day without even noticing. Then, the next morning when I woke up I didn’t need to peel the sheets off my knee. That being said, spread the good news. PS, stay off your face, it seems to be working really well for me.
I think I will gear up after seeing that crash. Kuji your riding is next level. 😲👍
Perfect. That was the plan all along
Vim pelo MONARK, FLOW PODCAST
kkkkkak também mano
Acho q todo brasileiro
Meu provável caminho no algoritmo do YT foi: Monark>Monoboy>esse vídeo
Não vim por ele mas conheço. Em que episódio ele falou algo sobre?
I'm glad that you wasn't banged up too badly after that fall. Glad that you're okay.
Good review.
P.S. love the instrumental.
Awesome video! I’m shocked you didn’t use that hard crash as click bait for the video. But I respect you so much more cuz you didn’t! Keep the content coming
don't think that Im honorable enough to not think about it
That skill level is insane. Great driving
the knobby tires don't allow you a steeper angle of attack thus keeping you upright... that's why you fell the scrapping lets you know your pushing to much
Glad you’re ok after that nasty fall, Kuji. Be more careful next time.
40 mph! Sheez! I don’t think I have the balance for this especially at that speed. Great review! I had to subscribe.
I love your cinematography
I was just given a option of either knobby or street tire. I went with knobby.
great vid...and as usual your camera work is Great!! Thanks
Kuji you ok?
Kuji accident
My God! How fast is that!!
I can't help but think that requires a great amount of skill and balance to master....
Kuji is great but they are engineers and they have their reasons for slapping on the knobby tire from the factory. Awesome vid !
Well only for off-road purposes
Dude, your skills are so sick! Unfortunately, that skews my judgment of the wheel. I can not tell if it is your masterful performance, or the wheel engineering that’s making the terrain a perfect partner.
The female EUC operator was a neat addition. A diverse consumer base brings innovative ideas to the community.
Kuji, why did you store your Sherman in the fire safe, and not your other wheels? Did you known about the internal faults, before Marty’s Overheat Hill incident?
Many Thanks
Hello my friend, how are you? I liked a lot of that bike and I wish one like it, unfortunately, very expensive. I loved it a lot
thats one crazy fall. You got lucky, my man
Kuji man, first you ride in burning heat, then through heavy rain, and now a 40mph crash?? I'm glad you're ok!
Would be killer if they made a version with v11 style suspension and used a tire that is in between knobby and street
The more I watch your videos the more I want one of these. If you ever need some random person to test one of these out and give you a great video review I am willing. I have seen your video where you teach a girl how to ride it. I'd be happy to mail it back to you as well. I am a master at having things return. No pun intended. Well maybe a little. After watching many of your vids i have noticed that the suspension and foot pads still need slight improvements. I know it is better to be lower to the ground but possibly placing the foot pads 1-2 inches higher would greatly improve turning in tight corners. Suspension could also improve with more travel. I wonder if it is possible to have the foot pads slide up and down with hydraulics or gas style pistons to aid in suspension with recoil.
Thanks for showing a woman with the wheel. I just got the V11, but am eyeing the Sherman.
man that's awesome. sounds like I'll keep and get used to the knobbies. I kinda like the hum.
That fall was mean to man glad you're ok
I love it.....freedom, like flying
Falling itself usually not deadly, if u wear quite complete protection..but fall in public road become deadly, when you fall then follow getting hit by vehicle behind you.. it may car, truck, motorcycle..or u hit pedestrian block or elctric pole.. well, keep safe n fun
thank you for the video you are very nice and you show us reality, you sacrifice your life to show us good examples thank you very much to you kuji you are a real pro and i really like your channel good luck to you
My body tells me no but my mind is saying yes to one of these.
Haha yep i was like that, been riding a sherman for 4000 miles now, no regrets!
You need more contact patch on the street tire for more stability at high speeds.
That's what the street tire gave him.
Strange to see blue skies in Beijing! I lived there 2007-2010 and skies were usually brown and stung my eyes. Good to see though.
Smog
Seems the Michelin City Pro 80/90-14 street tire doesn't have the wobble issues that the Kenda K340 14 x 2.75 did. As for having to hang off or lean more than tilting the EUC, this is pretty common with most 3 inch or wider street tires, even at 15 to 20 mph on an S18, doesn't seem to be an issue in the videos I've seen of this.
From TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY YOU GO GUY 1 LOVE & PEACE
Miss your vids!! You are the best rider! Keepem coming!!
Dude. I love the look of that thing beat up tbh
DO YOUR THING GUYS 1 LOVE & PEACE
Tyres are tricky and with EUC such as this model travelling at such speeds that are likely beyond the rating for the tyres also with EUC riders tending to under inflate the tyres in pursuit of stability. When a tyre is under or over inflated this impacts the tyre contact patch the knobbly tyre is likely to be more forgiving in such scenarios due to its geometric flexibility. When under inflated the tyre will be pressed inwards giving a circular or elliptical contact patch with possibly no contact at the centre. The contact patch will also be deformed by the tread pattern so a wiggling line down the centre of the tyre will cause the contact patch to wobble and this wobble will be transferred under high speed or loading. The smooth tyre is more likely to loose contact at the centre of the contact patch as when the tread deforms there is less geometric freedom of movement that would allow the tread to maintain contact in areas of less contact e.g. centre of contact patch. Also the tyre profile and tread depth can help with clearance and stability a u shape profile will increase clearance when tilted compared to an o or v shape profile. With the increasing speeds it is probably time for EUC to move towards more suitable higher speed tyre and wheel technology that would allow riding with high stability at correct pressures. The faster we go the more true and balanced the wheel must be to maintain stability. Regarding the pedal scraping a curved sacrificial layer of material at the edge of the pedals likely a hard plastic would improve the situation and help to avoid the grabbing forces that can derail a rider when a pedal digs in.
love this comment. so are you suggesting that a more 'u' shaped street tire will give better stability? what type of treads? Im willing to swap out the tire again for better high speed street performance
Kuji Rolls benefits of u profile tyre is that it will raise the pedals when you lean the wheel over compared to the o or v profile. Also a u profile tyre will help to maintain a large straight line contact patch when correctly inflated compared to the o or v profile tyre. When the o or v profile is under inflated this increases the contact patch size which gives an increasing feel of straight line stability but the stability of the contact patch in extreme operating conditions is compromised. The negative of the u profile is that it has a sharp shoulder so if you lean so much that the shoulder becomes the contact patch then you will experience instability but on EUC the pedals likely stop this happening depending on the height of the profile compared to the pedal height. Tyre selection can become a real dark art but testing is the key along with paying close attention to the tyre specifications also factors like rubber blend and Shore hardness eventually come into play at the extremes. If you can get hands on with a supplier who has a wide selection of tyres it is probably better than online searching. Also check out local mopeds, small motorbike to see what tyre types they are using. Maybe you there is room for a wider tyre if it is smooth.
