The best point of the EUC for me: Integration with public transport. There's simply no other vehicle that I can take with me in a train or a bus as easily as the EUC. It's the perfect "Last mile" vehicle. You can even use it as a portable chair when train is full. =D
Exactly, im a massive scooter fan but you just cant beat the EUC, on public transport or entering shops.
You don't integrate with motorcycle gear on a train with
An dingy wheel tbh
@@godless9010 I don't need a high speed/long range wheel since the main part of the commute is done by train, my v8 is more than enough. I don't wear any protective gear as well, since I don't need to go over 35km/h. Any how, it would still be easier to commute in train with a V-Sherman and bike gear than with a E-bike or Scooter.
I'm looking toward to get a V11 with a seat, It's so tall, would be great to use as a chair in the train =D.
Lucas Montenegro the portable chair part sounds invaluable, and I've also ordered a V11
The only problem with euc’s are the significantly higher price point to entry vs a scooter. A nine or max can be had for $800 with a range of 24 miles at max speed, or even a high powered 60v 30ah Samsung powered scooter can be bought off of alibaba for $1400. Eucs start above that price point for the most part and the learning curve is much much higher. You can pass a scooter off to anyone and they will be up and riding in 5 seconds. The mastery of learning to ride an euc is where the risk/reward is at.
I think EUCs are a lot safer than OneWheels also. I love my OneWheel, but the sideways stance makes it much harder to run off falls and the nosedives are a constant threat which can't be completely eliminated by rider skill.
Being a motorcyclist for 60+ years, I wish I could have one, but now can'i afford a fall.
I really envy you younger people.
What a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and urban transportation.
I honestly don't believe they are viable on unprotected roadways, like unlit roadways at night.
Drivers in vehicles may not be able to see riders well enough.
I would trade my youth for all bases with a hot chick
"...the pedals might hit you..." yes, they most certainly will, my ankles really suffered for the first few days lol
So, what kind of protections would save your ankles? Shin guards won't help the ankles, right?
@@RayLuomba Boots helped me!
Aren’t the pedals stationary? How? Lol
@@friedcherries8180 Not when you've just stepped/fell off awkwardly but the wheel kept moving and hit you in the ankles...
@@therealchayd that’s the scenario I was looking for, I knew the guy hadn’t posted what he did without reason. Thanks!! 😂
14:53 ... Dude you are legend ... You can talk, hold a camera and at the same time ride on the edge... AMAZING 👏👏👏!!!
Just bought a V11. Have about 30 miles on it so far. Started on a Onewheel Pint, to a V5, to the V11. FWIW, I'll be 70 in June. :)
That deep water though! I had no idea they could do that and I own one.
Great advice, in Canada euc owners are increasing in numbers and pushing for legalization, hopefully it happens.
Is it atill illegal?
I’ve been riding my orb wheel x2 for 6 years and when I got the wheel it was the cheapest EUC for its time. But it still goes! It’s a really good form of transportation.
i never watched a video about things you should know about a unicycle, but your video is fantastic. really interessting and important to know about it!
Very informative, well presented (as expected) - I particularly like the emphasis on developing your own exoskeleton - even with experience you will part company with the vehicle from time to time and you want to bounce, not crash.
I think it helps to know how to fall, and I think you pick that up early or not at all. With me it was sports like skiing and soccer ("football" in EU, but even American football helps). Something like gymnastics or martial arts would be excellent. You seldom have the time to think or plan your landing, so it has to become instinct.
I've had a knee replacement due to a motorcycle accident, but I was wondering if this would be too much for my knee?
In Belgium you are allowed 25 on an euc the question is can you set that speed and how you know you are on the speed you want to be example if the wheel is doing 45 but you want to limited it to 25• I assume it’s with the footpedals the give feedback?
My V11 should arrive before the end of the month!
I still haven’t got a shipment update on my v11 it’s been a month and change since purchase
@@thugis07 Really? May I ask who you ordered from? EWheel or MyInMotion?
As you probably already heard, make sure you fill out both +& - air chambers... The negative is not easily accessible....
Patrick Chapman I bought straight from MyINMOTION but I think it’s going thru EUCO.us. They now tell me it’s suppose to be here mid November
@@thugis07 Okay, so I think I did the same. I used MyInMotion.com.
I felt bad because Ewheels sponsors so much content but when I contacted MyInMotion.com their customer service was so good I just had to go with them.
Maybe your updates got "junk mailed" cuz it sounds like you and I ordered right around the same time from the same people.
Awesome thanks Adam. Congrats on your new dwelling. Lots of light is good. EUC'S are the best inventions since sliced bread. 😃
Recently got into EUC bought a KS16s - learning to love it 😊 more challenging than my OW - like them both, see the attraction to EUC.
Your vids are helpful, I bought the backpack 🎒 you like, expensive but super nice 👍🏽 I got the GTX 2OL
I'm considering buying the ks 16
@@ledgamer3554 same
one wheel is the quad bike of EUCs, lol.
Your reviews are the best what Internet can offer to us bro, keep up the superb content!
Ordered a V11 :) it's Winter now but very much looking forward to summer riding on this thing, I was worried about legality but turns out there are no regulations on EUC's where I live (Quebec, Canada)
Hi there. How did you find out? I live in Nova Scotia and I'm wondering if there are regulations here
@@chesterxman I just went on local forums for electric unicycles and found some sources for documentation ✌️
Had me deciding to buy a EUC before the intro was even finished. Your riding down the stairs was all I needed to know :'D (Now I've got an MCM5 (first) and a ks16x :D)
I just tried an Euc for the very first time and now i'm watching your video. Thanks , your comments are very useful !!
Mine is my favourite belonging. Get one, I don't see how you could regret it :)
9:03 hehehe the "toink" 🤣
Triple8 downhill longboard helmet are more open to see around and reasonable light have a look at it, great Chanel
@wrongway I say EUC is the KING when its comes to portability & space management... I have an electric kick scooter w/c weight 30kg... it's a problem lifting it 'coz i have stairs going to our house that's why i've bought MCM5 340wh yes speed & range sucks but enough for commute going to work & home also i have abit play time before going home... Portability 17kg easy lifting it going upstairs & space management easy to put on a car compartment of in-between ur leegs... Not in a hurry to upgrade but waiting for your review on RS HT 'coz its a very hilly place here in my place... Gotta love that water crossing wish all euc can do that...
So how waterproof are they? Doesn't sand kill your bearings?
i admit i'm curious about sand and Bearing combo
At least my V10F is still running like new after many rainy days and riding though puddles and along with a whole lot of sand. Just make sure to buy one with a proper ingress protection rating and you're fine.
@@4nlimited3dition_4n3d yeah my V10F is holding up really well as well!
Sand has never been a friend of any metal on metal components.
@@SwitchUpYt I just ordered one 2 days ago? First time getting one. Is it worth it?
I used to ride TONS of segways as a kid so hopefully learning will be a bit easier for me
I have a Segway mini pro with nearly 800 miles logged on it. Now graduating to add Invision V8S
Which EUC were you riding in this video? There are so many qualities and cons with each EUC, I can't decide which one to get. But I do like the foot stoppers on the one you are riding, and the sharp turning radius it appears to have, without peddle bite. Edit: Never mind, looks like the Inmotion V11. I didn't know you could add those foot stoppers to it. That certainly helps narrow down my choice. Early videos I saw of it, it looked and sounded like it was difficult to speed up on or to jump with because of a lack of contact and grip with the device. Doesn't seem like an issue with those. I just wish it had a speedometer and odometer without needing to use an app. Otherwise, it might be perfect.
its plastic, you can literally just glue whatever you want on the size of it to support your legs.
Inmotion V11
that going down stairs thing is nuts! Theres no way I would ever try that if I got one of these. you fall forward and you’re done!
'I wanted to show off, but now I have my feet wet 😂'
I agree that thing is hard to beat with an Electric Scooter or Mountianboard/skateboard. Unless I want to experience the other "Riding style feelings".
Nice intro down the stairs. I still haven't tried going off 1 curb. I need to man up and just do it.
The answer is speed! Try 1 forst then two then three and so on ;) the longer each stair the more speed you need
i think its not good for bearings in wheel :D
grow a pair )) sorry for that. you have to mod your wheel for solid grip to fully utilize it, put some Kuji pads or cut yoga mat and glue it on hard edges, replace bolts in pedals with set screws. I had ks-14d which weights ~14kg and put neoprene pads following Kuji guide in "How to jump with any electric unicycle", I was able to hop on 23cm curb every time (watch Sidestreet Reny for ks-14 tricks, he is really in to jumping), after 2500km I turned it and got ks-16s v2, which I really love, I learned to idle and reverse with it, it weights 17kg and I can travel 20-30 km not getting too tired, i glued some eva pads and able to jump on 33cm curb like 9/10 times now if I'm not too tired, that's my physical limit - I weight around 70kg and do more sitting (coding) then walking.
These will become ubiquitous. They will be the incentive for ever newer and better PEV's for the rest of time, making public roads eventually safer and public transportation more popular
I doubt it. They are absolutely brutal on joints. There is really only a small window of time where a person could utilize one of these for any amount of time.
@@Face_RC even with the suspension?
@@Face_RC my joints are fine 2k Km in and i'm 56 yers old
Where and how can we charge them in the city or the office? This should be the third most important question, right? :)
Not super important as many places will allow you to use an outlet and they have plenty of range for the average user.
It's just a big lithium battery. Plug it in anywhere you can plug a laptop in.
I went down on my wrist learning to snowboard and approve the wrist guard recommendation.
So what is the name and brand of the machine used in video. I been looking at e scooters for weeks . This is actually a lot more interesting/powerful and practical thingy.
That suspension is dialed in perfectly for you!
Yeah around 100-110psi for my 75kg weight. Flypads help a lot too!
Way to much sag. He bottoms out multiple times. Sag should be no more than the first ~20% of travel and you should never bottom out except under very extreme situations. From an optimal standpoint, this suspension is very badly dialed in.
@@JS-wt8vf I don't know about that one, chief.
@@JS-wt8vf KING of all EUC knowledge: THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US PEONS.
@@marcsirkin8398 Your welcome! Don't sell yourself short though. We can all learn new things if we put our minds to it.
I could have watched you go down those stairs forever. That suspension is looking nice.
@4:49 "But you'll buy a more expensive one anyway"
That is the way.
What i miss on EUC is a lock to park it like a bike when you go somewhere like movies, concert or anything
Just bring it in with you. Though it gets tricky recently with big wheels and pads. Used to use my gt16 for the movies before covid times, since it's small enough to stow under the cinema seats, fast enough to keep up with most flagships except the msx and nikola, and clearance is more than enough for stairs and curbs.
@@davechuasoup OK and for concerts ? dancing pubs ? Museums ? Art Exhibitions ? Zoo ? Or just walking with some freinds, do you have to bring it all the time ? 24 kg man..
I mean ofc it's the best vehicule in terms of compacity but it doesn't mean you can take it all the time with you, there is a tones of cases where you need to park it like i do with my bike.
@@Jerewie no one rides to those events/places on an EUC
@@Jerewie luggage storage or cloakroom haha

Here tips to park them outside.

Knees though. How about them? They work all the time in absorbing all the bumps and dips in the surface. They are the suspension (and the tires) since not every model has one.
Why did I laugh hard time when you went down those stairs
I dig it been thinking about giving it a try .shouldn't be very hard I have 20 years unicycle experience mostly rough terrain on a mountain uni
You’ll learn it very quickly!
Amazing video fun to watch as always, need pointers but for buying an entry or mid level EUC
12:03 omg now I want a unicycle 😱 the road where I live is almost like 😱 never thought it has that capacity
Loved the review :) I reaaaally want one now.
Did you get it? And how long takes you to learn to ride it?
A great educational video and thanks for helping me decide I really want one
since you fall more than learning to ride bikes or motorcycles, are there helmets that can actually survive multiple impacts? I know bike and motorcycle helmets have a crushable lining that is intended to be one-and-done. You're not supposed to crash often in them.
I know I’m putting this up here super late, but after reading through the comments, (lovely video btw), I realize a lot of folk would like to know what kind of wheel he’s riding in this vid and he hasn’t put it anywhere we can see (as of this writing: Sept of 2021)-SO! He’s on a V11
Yer welcome 🤗
Great points, love the channel. Just started riding lil over a month ago on a ks14s and already interested in something faster lol. Love the wheel anyways, but their is so many badass wheels coming out or already out. Not sure what to get into 16X, V11, MSP HT too many options not enough money... :(
Too late.. I got jealous of the videos and grabbed an inmotion 8f on my holidays. Took me two weeks to learn to ride, but need to learn the basics like turning and getting on and off.
Looks like a beautiful way to explore a city..
A 70 year old guy can ride an EUC. Adam also saw him in Den Haag. You're never to old to learn riding EUC/monowheel.
I’m 62 years old and just ordered my first EUC. Have six years practicing on a Segway mini pro so that helps.
These are the best vids on EUC,. Keep em going Great tag line
BTW you can't put two vowels together so not a EUc but an EUC sounds so much better eh.?
Speaking of protective gears, what kind of shin guard provide more-than-the-front protection? I saw a picture in a forum showing a laceration at the calf. Is there such a thing as "360 degree full wrapping shin guard" to prevent that? :-)
Try to find some Kevlar material! ':)))....Get real.... you don''t need that!
electric train's tracks too. I had to slow down for those.
what is the recommend cruise speed for best milages? for bike party marathon.
You are one skillfull rider/presenter/cameraman. It's still unclear how the braking works, is it done on the motor by leaning back and how do you handle downhill slopes?
Ok a one wheel scooter is called a EUC. So what is a two side by side wheel called? I’m talking about the original self-balancing Segway style scooter.
2 more things I would like to know!
1. What to do when a wheel gets punctured?
2. Can I go to office in a professional attire, and without safety gears, when I become ride-safe ?
1. Either use Slime which with some luck fixes it or you need to change the tube. Depending on the wheel and your skills this is a 20-120 minutes job. UA-cam is your friend on how-to. 2. I bought some gear 6 years ago and used some of it maybe a few times. I haven't been wearing any gear since in more than 20,000km of riding (same for cycling). I have taught quite a bunch of people without using any gear. Learning to keep your knees flexed and how to let go and step off rather than be sent flying when something goes wrong is more important than any gear. However, if you want to ride the EUC like a motorcycle or above 25km/h, I guess you better keep using gear.
You talked me into it, now where can I buy a like new used EUC ?
Awesome vid, excellent ENGLISH 🇬🇧 🇵🇱
options for flatless tires?
It would be interesting to know the Range and distance between charges
That is actually the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Imagine buying a used EUC off this dude. He takes banged up to whole new level.
Great video. Thanks
Your comfort level is wonderful. At 78 I don't see a EUC in my future. Ah! To be 50 again. Cheers
Thanks for this! 3200 km and counting on a Ninebot one Z10
Euc plus public transit would be the way to go .. so green 💚.
I would say in general an euc is illegal if it’s outside the allowed specs of a scooter for example in my county you can’t ride a scooter faster than 15 mph and an euc would be the same
I've been an e-scooter rider for the past few years, but now I'm taking a closer look at these and may make the switch.
Having your hands free is a huge plus. And an euc is FUN to ride. Scooters are good mobility vehicles, but they are so dull to use.
@@pierrex3226 i made the switch and my biggest regret is not having done it sooner. I gor the V8F and 400 kms, I have already outgrown it and now I'm looking at the EXN or RS.
You’re killin it brotha!!!! ☺️👍
Epic infinite stairs intro !
Here in Sweden. You can not go over 20km/h on eBikes, eScooters etc. has there is no road insurance for them. Fast then that you need a moped AM liecnce and insurance and must have a number plate. I have seen police take away eScooters at the roadside and make the rider walk has they are going to fast. But we do have great sidewalks when riding all over Sweden.
Do you get tired standing up? How long do you think it would take before you do get tired?
I've watched a lot of your videos and as much fun as my Mantis Pro is, you have convinced me to try an EUC. Do you think a Gotway RS High Speed would be a good first EUC?
Anyway, it'll be a few weeks before my RS arrives.
Nice! Yeah i think it'll be great ;)
Gotway rs high speed
I am planing on geting one, but I am not sure which brand/model to get. I will appreciate it if u recommend me some. Urs look immaculate.
Theres a video on my channel best EUC’s for beginners you might want to check it out :)
OH. MY. GOD. you have a clip of The Room lmao
Amazing
I am a man of culture too ;p
can you recommend some tires which can provide some kind of suspension so it doesnt jump when you go little faster and hit some hole and the best patern for for tire for city and wet roads or tile roads
What's your helmet brand and goggles? thanks
Where is that park ? 2:00 😬
Man u handle the stair like a champ
any advice or instructions on riding uphill or downhill?
great video man.
This was an Amazing video 👍🏼
Thank you, very informative, be safe
Used euc means old battery , old battery means brittle effect the performance, right?
Nice review and horrible to see all those rubbish rental scooters laying around, never see this with Private Owned Scooters!
Do you ever feel you want to wear less protective gear? I have found myself just wearing a helmet and touch screen gloves lately 😊 do you think this is adequate for a gotway msx??
Stop asking others what is safe for you! Just feel safe. Of course he will say... get protected from top to bottom as he doesn't want to feel responsible that you felt and hit yourself. For almost 3 years i ride euc (V8 and now v11) and i have never ever wear any protective equip. And here i am after more than 5000 km without a scratch! Be responsible, be safe and you will feel the freedom of riding the EUC light as a feather without tons of equipment. Have fun and be aware of your surroundings.
I would never ride anything without a helmet, gloves, wrist protection and knee protection. Doesn't matter how skilled you are when someone else causes you to go flying. Even pedestrian can suddenly be in your way and make you fall hard.
There are actually quite a few dirt bike helmets that don’t weight that much more than the mountain bike helmets and provide better protection
What and where are the wrist protectors to be had? Thx
Is a coordinated, pretty physical fit guy in his 60s able to join the EUC tribe?
Cool! What about EUCs' wheelbearings when having fun in rain and during winter? Thanks.
In GotWays I had no issues. In 2nd or 3rs batch of V11 it's also fine. I need to change mine tho at some point because the first production batches had issues. In the grand scheme of thing you are safe :)
@@mr_wrongway Thank you! I have a Kingsong 18L.
Regenerative brakes?
Suspension?
Integration in solar PV system?
Dont think its safer than an electric skateboard but great points and video
thanks for the video! that answers most of the questions I had so much appreciation for your thoroughness. One question though related to "exercise". I have an e-bike and when I ride it, I'm always "air-pedaling"...meaning pedaling but not fast enough to match the speed of the hub motor. LOL I pretty much do it for at least a tiny bit of exercise. Would you say you get more exercise riding an EUC than riding a E-bike? It looks like there's a bit of isometric tension going on in the legs and also you're standing as opposed to sitting.
I know...stupid question...and why don't I just go for a run, right?
The answer is: Because a run isn't very fun! And swimming (my usual exercise) isn't something I do anymore since COVID because you don't have to wear a mask in public swimming pools and I have become a total germ-o-phobe!
Thanks for additional information here! and sorry for the looooonng winded approach to asking it.
Give me a short story and I can make it long with added details no-one cares about! Maybe I should do youtube videos,right? LOL
It's actually a lot of work when you are a new rider and you may need rest breaks. After you get used to it so is it more work then walking (time wise, not distance). You could compare with it with downhill skiing in very gentle and flat slope. It's not bad exercise as it fills the most important criteria, it's fun. Any excise you do is better then one you wont do because it's boring.
Liked because the intro is dope :)
Love Your videos.
Espechaly wacth out for roots, doing.🤣🤣
Thank You very much!
How about security, is there a key or pin?. What stops someone pushing you off and stealing it
You could make that argument with any PEV, all are easy enough to carry unlike a motorcycle. If someone is gonna rob you good luck catching me going 30 mph. Nothing stops them from doing that besides human decency I suppose
Lol, got e-jacked😎
well since you can't just ride these right away (like rollers) I assume the thief would have to be specialized on riding this lol, not being able to ride it instanlty for the majority seems like a good deterrent in itself
lol i pre-ordered apollo city pro, but might have to cancel it for euc
Glad you're on the mend mate.👍
