- It took ONE HOUR to teach a newbie EUC riding using the DIY Training Brush and my basic principles of learning a new skill. I was quite surprised how effective it was with my young grasshoppa. Good luck to those using this full tutorial.
Here is the link on the video I made regarding the DIY Training Brush. I have since revised it to include just Velcro instead of metal straps.

Wow, clever idea Dr. Miyagi😂😂😂.
Thanks! I am glad I didn’t “need a body bag.” Young Aram-San “learned balance well.”
In case any of you are interested in the DIY or Miyagi Brush, here is the link to my video on how to make one. You can also use Velcro instead of the metal strap which is actually what I used in my final version. Actually I like that name of Miyagi Brush. Let’s call it that then.

Amazing for him to learn so fast! got mine in december 2020 and to this date (june 2021) i'm still struggling
You just need a live instructor to give you immediate feedback Please try the brush technique. The brushes will allow you to train your specific EUC muscles. You also need some speed to learn to ride once you take off the brushes. Good luck and please don’t give up! You can do this.
After 6 months?
My first 60 mis I hardly move 1 meter forward .... and and hour later I was able to go back to home on my EUC 100 m ... hardly ...
A week later i felt very comfortable with my EUC.
Maybe this is not for you ;)
Genius! I was trying to think of making training wheels to tech my fiancé how to ride. But your idea is better as the brush slows you down vs small wheels. Lol great job!
Thanks! This is a simple DIY and definitely great for teaching. Good luck!
Training wheel brushes, what a great idea, it’s brilliant!
Thanks. I was actually quite surprised how effective the DIY brushes were.
Brilliant!
You guys are awesome man love this
Genius!
Well done 👍
Great content! Thanks
That's a great idea.
Great video
I’m going to try this
This is brilliant!
Thanks! I was surprised myself how quickly Aram learned the wheel. I think this is one of the best training aids out there and it is so easy to build too.
This is fantastic
Thanks! This is the best way to learn. It helps tremendously too if there is an instructor to give real time input on what the rider is doing wrong.
That was awesome! Great job getting your friend started. Well done and great idea for learning. I’ll definitely give this a try. 👍
Thanks. Aram was intimidated at first but he quickly became more comfortable as he realized he wasn’t going to fall when the brushes were on. Once he became more comfortable and understood how the wheel responded, that’s when his learning accelerated. Good luck to you!
Creative and effective technique! Great job! Thanks
You’re welcome! Having a student who was highly motivated to learn also helped. Good luck to you if you are new to EUC.
You are a good teacher with great teaching tools and methods. New career path unlocked. :)
Thanks! Maybe when I retire from my primary job, I could be an EUC instructor. 🤓
Really good idea!
Thanks! Use this for learning the wheel. It really works. Good luck!
At first I was like another BS learning vid...........Now I am in awe of your genius.....Thanks for making this vid and sharing your idea........subscribed
Glad you found the video useful. This wasn’t my original idea though. This is just my DIY version of the EUC learning brush technique that Solowheel first came up with about 3 years ago. Their own brush was close to $80 to purchase.
I figured there must be a cheaper DIY version for under $20. My DIY brush was dormant for about 2-3 years. Aram in the video was the first to try on my revised DIY brush successfully.
Thanks for the sub! 🙏🏻
Great idea!
What I noticed here in your video is this: looking forward makes him go! ( the brain skips from reasoning to doing it)
Very good tutorial Adam, thanks :-)
Thanks! Use this technique for learning the wheel and good luck to you.
I might have to try this
It really does work. The hardest part is the patience to make the DIY brushes. Really not even that hard to make. You only need to use the brushes for about 15 minutes to get the feel of the wheel.
The brushes will make you feel more relaxed once you acclimate. Once you’ve gotten used to it is when you then learn the wheel without the brushes. You will pick it up within minutes.
Finally had a chance to add the Miyagi brushes to my AirWheel X8 and taught a couple of guys this morning. They pretty much were able to ride in 5mins and another 15-20mins to really get comfortable with the sensation of riding (no arm waving and just using their hips & ankles to balance). It turns out better than I had hoped for! Thanks again for sharing this genius idea!! Now if I can only get my wife to try it... =D
Wow! That’s really great to hear that the brushes helped your friends learn the EUC faster.
I have been trying to get my wife to try EUC too but she is not interested at all. Good luck trying to convince yours.
what a smart idea
Thanks! It really does speed up learning.
WOW! This is genius!
Thanks. I was surprised myself how my friend learned so quickly. He was also motivated to learn so that helped tremendously.
Good
Thank you for this valuable lesson . I have a v12 being shipped right now. I can't wait. I just need to order some brushes now
You’re welcome. Good luck to you. Remember the brushes are for just the first 15 minutes in acclimating to the wheel. After that, start doing what I was teaching my friend. You need some speed to help with your balancing. That is key. Don’t give up. You will get there. Make sure you gear up too of course.
Brilliant thinking clever-clogs!
Thanks! Very simple but effective.
Great video and such an awesome channel!!
I appreciate the kind words and thanks for the sub!
@@AdamU1016 No worries! I'll soon be back for some more knowledge! 🙏
I loved watching this video and when i finally teach someone to ride i will copy the brush technique. Thanks for creating this content it helps push the scene forward.
Glad you liked it! I was actually quite surprised myself that Aram picked up the EUC way in such a short amount of time. I definitely feel the brushes helped accelerate his muscle memory training. His background in roller skating and the real time feedback from me helped too.
@@AdamU1016 yes tell him is lucky to have you teach him i learned on my own in a car park after watching multiple videos much longer learning curve as a result. Learners to to master drills to perfect muscle menory alongside riding regular to see how well it improves your agility and ability.
@@andrewitoje8325 I have already told him and he is hooked. He now has an MTen3 and a KS S18. He now appreciates our addiction. Lol.
Very good
Thanks!
Hahaha just unboxed my v12 and spent about 30 mins stumbling along a wall... Definitely gonna steal this idea!
Great choice on the wheel! Holding the hands along the wall is also a good technique. That lets you acclimate to the wheel and how the wheel responds to you.
The DIY brushes are better though. If you have a live instructor to give you input while using the wheel also helps.
Key things when you try riding brushless after acclimating the Brush way are:
1.) Having some speed (roughly 5 mph) when you try to balance.
Trying to balance when the wheel is stopped won’t work.
2.) Push off with one leg as if on a skateboard and then try to balance with some speed involved.
3.) Make sure you gear up. Helmet, wrists guards, knee and elbow pads in order of importance.
4.) Your ankle area will get some bruising when the pedals swing back so wear thick sockets by the ankle area or wrap ace bandage around ankle.
5.) Be persistent. Don’t give up. You will get this! Good luck.
:) Good idea to clean the road!!!
Ha ha! Learning and cleaning the road is the way to go.
This is brilliant! You've reduced the learning curve to Onewheel levels. Now I'm tempted to get an EUC.
Thanks! Go for it. The DIY brushes really do help you acclimate to the EUC. Just don’t get too reliant on the brushes too long. As what you can see in the video, Aram used the brushes for only 15 minutes to see how he responded to the wheel and vice versa.
You need some speed of about 5 mph to keep yourself balanced better. Therefore, push off as if on a skateboard to get some momentum going. Trust in the wheel and it will serve you well.
Make sure you gear up.
Good luck to you!
Im older then you guys but this is great and i rode everyday with training wheels. I finally got them off and actually ride now, a lot.
Congrats! Riding the EUC is so liberating and now you will really get to appreciate your wheel. Enjoy!
what training wheels bro?? any picture you can share 🤔👍
That's a very good way. Nice nice
Thanks! I was quite impressed myself how quickly Aram learned it. I made the DIY 2 years ago but never had a chance to test it on anybody. I am so glad I used it on him. Easy and cheap DIY too.
@@AdamU1016 yeah I first saw this on a video solowheel had made
ruclips.net/video/XjOH5w0OpPw/видео.html but I didn't do it myself. Not a bad idea at all
@@UStride - I remember too but theirs was selling for about $80. My DIY is easier and a baaaagain at $20. 🤣.
Brush on ! Brush off !
Somebody had to say it.
Ha ha! I think Miyagi would have been proud of young Aramson. Lol
Can't believe it took so long to find this comment. Well played.
Genius
Great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank yoi :-)))))
You’re welcome! Glad you found the video useful.
super Genius .. i was thinking some rollers on the bottom but this works too.. video is funny and great to watch and i am laughing with you guys.. lol.. my brother is going to get an EUC and it will be his first time to ride.... i showed him this..
Rollers would be great too but you get to clean your driveway when using the brushes. 😂
It costs about $20 for the DIY project. InMotion had their own way back then but they were charging $70 for them. I made the brushes for teaching purposes. I was impressed myself that it was so effective.
@@AdamU1016 so awesome ruclips.net/channel/UC2UalL_88LLQ5rSDSTP3I_A
my brothers channel surgery
This is brilliant! My new Imotion V5 just came this week & I've been trying to figure out the best way to start learning. BINGO! Training wheels (brushes). I'm totally going to a hardware store & buy brushes & some kind if webbing to attach the brushes to the wheel. Could you make a video about how you did that? Also where can I get a seat for my wheel? The only accessories I've seen are channeled extra upper leg pads & a carry bag/cover which I ordered. This has made me really confident that I can learn this quickly. Thank you so much. 👍☮️🌞🧠
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. These brushes are quite easy to make. Check out my video Updated EUC DIY Training Brush.
ruclips.net/video/sx6wIZEy5vc/видео.html
Regarding a seat for your V5, I don’t think there is a custom seat for that. My Nikola did not have a custom seat either. I made my own DIY seat from a KS18L custom seat. Check out my video on this DIY to make the KS seat compatible with my Nikola. You can make your own version since the V5 has the same style trolley handle as the Nikola.
ruclips.net/video/vjOHsPzR2Ug/видео.html
Good luck to you!
I love that brush method! I justt got my wheel and euc does have a steep learning curve. At least in my experience.
These brushes will flatten the learning curve. When you finally remove the brushes about 20 minutes later, try to ride with some speed. About 5 mph. You need some speed to maintain balance.
Good luck!
That's a brilliant idea!!! Still waiting for my 1st euc to arrive. I'm hoping I can pick it up as fast as your friend did.
Thanks! Which wheel did you order?
@@AdamU1016 I placed an order for the 84V 512WH Mten3. Too bad the shipping is now delayed until mid November. I’ll just keep watching RUclips videos until then. Thanks for making these EUC videos!
@@dnut999 - The MTen is a great choice. Make sure you have it well padded since it will be your training wheel. Smaller wheels are harder to learn but not impossible as you can see Aram had no problem with the MTen on first try.
Other ways to learn are the shopping cart or practicing in the hallway or a small bridge so you can hold on to both sides of the rail as you acclimate to the wheel. I feel the training brush technique is the best though. Good luck!
@@AdamU1016 Will do. I like that shopping cart idea. Thanks for the great tips!
Wow fast learner
OK Dr.Wheel.... now you've officially Blew my Mind:)))... i thought i had seen the best method for learning to ride an EUC, with the shopping card in front... but now this??.. this is even better!!!
For sure, now i will use this method when i get my first EUC, for to learn how to ride it... thnx a million for this idea!!!
You get the "Golden Mr.Miyagi Award" for best Teaching Method on EUC Riding :)))
Thanks! The DIY brushes are a great tutorial but they were not my original idea. It is just an offshoot of training wheels.
It is best if you have an EUC rider that can correct you while you are learning to ride. If not possible, then keep these things in mind:
1.) Make sure you are well geared. Have helmet, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads on.
2.) Make sure your EUC is well padded as you will bang it several times.
3.) After you have acclimated to the wheel using the brush technique and have removed them, you need a certain speed as you learn to ride your wheel. It is hard to balance if you are going really slowly.
4.) I don’t recommend practicing on grass as the terrain is uneven and can slow you down in moving forward. It is important to have some speed. About 5-10 mph.
5.) Make sure you have a large amount of space to practice on. You might be distracted as you are learning to ride and might crash on to something.
6.) Refer to my video as I mentioned lots of tips as my friend was learning to ride.
Good luck and kick ass!
@@AdamU1016 Yes.. thnx.. nice tips to keep in mind, for anyone into their first steps of EUC riding.
I am totally stunned that that guy could learn so fast!
Excellent trainer on hand too.
Thanks! I was stunned too. It took me 4 days at 1 hour/day of practice to get to Aram’s level. I didn’t get live feedback when I was learning back then. I only had RUclips to refer to 6 years ago.
@@AdamU1016 4x1hr per day to get it: still puts u in the genius category! Lol
And u say 6 years ago when u started..
And u still love riding ur EUC! Hahahaha
@@brucebrookshaw3401 - The EUC is truly addicting. It is my big stress reliever. That sensation of freedom as I coast through is amazing.
It has also kept my proprioceptive skills optimized. In other words, my sense of balance and coordination are constantly fine tuned.
Great idea WELL DONE ,REALLY THIS WILL WORK .I WILL USE THIS MYSELF...WELL DONE.....KRSNA
Good luck to you. Patience and some speed when attempting to wheel will get you through. Roll it out and then attempt balance on the pedals.
Awesome idea with the brushes. You should have told him not to look down bit further in front of him. That's why he struggled after taking brushes off.
Oh I told him that several times but you don’t see it in the final video.
you can clean the street while learning to ride. brilliant!
Ha ha! That’s the added perk!
Incredible. Brush training wheels. Fucking genius.
Thanks! Good luck to you. It really does make a difference in learning the wheel.
You really swept the floor with this demonstration…
Lol. Thanks. The brushes really are amazing in how quickly it taught Aram the ways of the wheel.
The real success here was giving this dude a couple of magical hours to realize that there's more to love in life than Tesla. ;)
Learning the EUC did open up his eyes and he really got hooked too.
Just go to a mall parking lot and use the mall's trolley to do rings around. Do not grip it hard, but just kinda "hover" your hands over it, barely leaning on it when needed to regain the balance. You'll push the trolley away in a record time not needing it anymore.
That is also a great way to learn. I have mentioned this technique to my friends too.
The skateboarding technique is a good way to teach. Keep body centered overed the wheel and have a firm grip with plant foot. push from beside the pedal. use arms for balance. focus forward on where you want go.
I like the skateboarding technique in learning the wheel. I actually explained that style starting at 4:55. Aram was pretty quick in catching on.
Hi .The brush idea has been around before. I think I'll try the fence or wall first. also I think I will master one log balance first to as it will help with getting on and off.
Yes. Solowheel came out with their brush technique a couple years ago. It was about $80 and they had a 2 minute video showing how effective it was. I made my own DIY training brush for about $20 in parts from Home Depot in anticipation of someday teaching a friend interested in EUC. The training brushes have been dormant for 2 years in my garage and I was glad I found them. I was really impressed how effective they were too. I have told several of my friends interested in EUC to try the wall and shopping cart techniques. However, it took them 2-3 weeks to master the wheel. I was able to take the time to teach a friend this time and I was glad I found those brushes. I was quite glad to be able to give real time lessons too as Aram was learning the wheel. I wanted to show the thinking processes of both the rider as well as the teacher’s point of view in my video. Hopefully the EUC newbie viewers can gain a better perspective in how to achieve some understanding of EUC mastery.
Good luck in learning the EUC!
@@AdamU1016 Aram was certainly a quick learner. Does he have experience in other board sports, or balance? Thank you.
@@TheAnimeist - Aram used to roller blade, ice skate, and skateboard in his younger days. He certainly did surprise me. His strong motivation to learn and persistence also helped.
If you are new to EUC, try the brush technique for about 15-20 minutes and then after that go brushless. Make sure your height of the brush is about 1/2” inch shorter than the pedal height so you can turn. You can adjust the height of the brush by adding more blocks.
Just be persistent and you will get it. Make sure you gear up too. Good luck to you!
I'm impressed. Very creative first contact method to the wheel. I prefer (sort of mine) method for teaching without any fence or wall, building confidence from scratch slowly. 1) learn to step one foot and make a little jump with the other 2) same as 1 but pushing a bit forward, making little steps 3) make 2 progress to longer and longer steps 4) once the student feels confident enough, take off and mount from one of those long steps. But I think I will try adding the brushes aid as step zero for a short time (less stress and some joy/fun from the beginning). Thank U for the idea!
Your method works well too as I have seen some that learned that way by gradually acclimating for the feel of the wheel.
The hardest part with the brush method is just basically making one which really isn’t that bad either. I went through a few iterations before I finally settled in using Velcro to secure the modded brushes to the pedals.
The DIY brushes are used for about 15 minutes to get the feel of how the wheel responds and vice versa. Afterwards, the newbie rider attempts to ride without the brushes. I was surprised myself how my friend Aram picked it up so quickly. I hope to make another video like this on other riders with different backgrounds to see how quickly they will progress also. Thanks for watching.
@@AdamU1016 Once the student graduates and masters the riding... you can make him to use to the brushes again for a short time. He can pay the lesson by sweeping your premises LOL.
why didn't i think of that. i was thinking of caster wheels but don't wanna drill a hole on the pedals or buy a honeycomb pedals to to accommodate the caster wheels. i ended up getting trekking poles today (haven't tried the wheel with it), but that looks better (i think). 2 in 1 street sweeping while learning. LOL.
You just need to acclimate to the feel of the wheel. The DIY training brush was used for the first 15 minutes only. After that, my friend had to learn by getting on the wheel without the brushes.
You can try the shopping cart technique or the baby stroller with no baby of course. Try putting something heavy like bricks so as not to tip over the stroller when you hold onto it. I have seen some use trekking poles in the beginning. These training aids should be used for the first few minutes only. They will tend to hinder if you use it the whole time. Good luck to you.
👏
Thanks! I tried to respond to you in my Common EUC Rider Errors post but I can only read part of your comment and it disappears once I click your comment. There is no way to respond back. I will check out your channel.
so after trying the brush initially, and comparing with just doing scooter kickstart exercise in open area without it, i must agree with some of my friends who questioned it - the brush might actually have hindered my learning, at least in my case of riding on v10f which has pretty tall pedal height. for me the brush also catches the ground on one side therefore spin and turn the wheel uncontrollably
The brush is just a way to get used to the feel of standing on the pedals. My friend was on the brush for about 15 minutes acclimating to the feel of the EUC stance. Once that getting acquainted with the wheel is done, it is time to try riding without the brush.
Time-wise, that’s like using a fast-charger is to the conventional charger!
Lol. Great analogy. It really does speed up learning.
Really wished I had learned about this back in July 2020. After 3 wks struggling with learning on the V10F with a walker, I just wanted to give up. I bought an AirWheel X8 and was able to learn how to ride soon after. Your Miyagi brush technique (brush left & brush right! LOL!) is genius! I need to add that to my X8 to help beginners. Going to watch you RUclips video on how to install the brushes. And I think your video said that's a Nikola he's riding? May I ask where you got the seat? I just got a Nikola and looking for good seat options.
The seat is the custom seat from my old KS18L. Here is video how I made the mod. Easy to make if you have the tools.
ruclips.net/video/vjOHsPzR2Ug/видео.html
I have had the seat now for months and have gone off terrain and the seat is still firmly secure but yet easily removable if need be.
@@AdamU1016 Thx! I'll give it a quick look!
Question, just got a ninebot z10 and I’m learning how to ride it I can only really go 1-3 mph right now, it feels like there’s no self balancing, when I let go of the wall it seems to want to fall to the side constantly, is this normal? Does the self balancing work better when you gradually go faster? Or is it something else?
The EUC balances you in the forward and backward direction. It’s your job to do the side to side balance. That will come with practice practice practice.
Use the DIY brushes to get a feel for how the wheel responds to your movements and vice versa. The DIY brushes will do the self balancing side to side for you so the brushes will help you relax and get acclimated to the mechanics of the wheels. Once you get acquainted with the brushes on (15-30 minutes of use), remove the brushes and try to wheel on your own. You will be shocked how easy it will be to gain victory of the steep learning curve.
Good luck to you!
@@AdamU1016 Thanks man, I really appreciate it dude I was wondering if mine was broken but glad to hear what I’m experiencing is normal. Keep up the great work man, your videos are awesome 👍
absluteley genius ! beware of slipery underground ... i had wheelspin on wet street , its like cut off ....verry afraid situation , when riding first time and wear no gear .... hurt by 20 mile pretty well
Thanks! Yeah that wheel spin surprised me when it happened. I was lucky that I didn’t get seriously hurt.
Hope you weren’t too badly hurt from your fall.
@@AdamU1016 thanks for hope .... but it fucking hurts like hell :-))))))))
Please post rides with Aram and yourself. Nice to see professionals enjoying the freedom. The gastroscopic gastric lava he comment got him the confidence 😂😂😂
We had a blast as I was teaching him the EUC. The learning experience for Aram was the inspiration for my current video EUC Rider Errors. Aram is currently waiting for his S18 from Jason of Ewheels. We will definitely be doing more group riding. He is so hooked on EUC now that that is all we ever talk about. Lol.
@@AdamU1016 aside surgeries of course 😂. I saw your video on errors, very insightful. Better to ride safe and enjoy the freedom than to be careles and spend bucks in ER. I got my S18 a week ago and still in the learning process. Your video about errors helped
@@benjie9061 - Glad to hear my latest video helped. Those were the things I told Aram about since there is so much vital info to take in. Good luck in learning the wheel! For me the wheel is a big stress reliever. All my worries just disappear when I start riding. EUC is the life. Stay safe!
@@AdamU1016 I’ll always be safe. The wheel helps relaxes me. Clears my mind
Watching him I decided to get one.
Aram was very determined that day to learn the wheel and he did. I was really impressed at how quickly he picked it up. That’s basically the key to learning this is to never give up. If you click my EWheels link in the description you will also save money. Good luck to you!
Details of brush height, fixing method? Maybe Amazon link? My first EUC arrives in 2 days.
I made this DIY Training Brush video a couple years ago. Aram was my first guinea pig and I was surprised at how effective it was. The revised version of my DIY eventually used Velcro straps which is what you saw with Aram.
ruclips.net/video/Ebnx1n2Dk0g/видео.html
How would I mount the brushes ? Also I was thinking about the m10-3 as my first wheel what’s your thoughts on that ?
The MTen would be harder to learn on than a 16” wheel. However, Aram in the video had no problem riding it after he mastered my 16” Nikola.
Smaller wheels are harder to balance since any changes on road surface can affect a beginner rider’s balancing ability. My first wheel was actually a 12” wheel but I was able to learn on the 3rd day at 1 hour a day of practice.
The MTen really is a fun wheel but at around 17 miles per hour I start to get the wobbles. For a starter wheel, the MTen will do.
I used Velcro to secure the brushes. I connected a wood piece to the top of the brush area. In between the wood and the brush base I was able to insert the Velcro straps.
Good luck to you!
can you do it in my backyard we need someon to clean the molds on the ground
You’ll have to get in line. I have many offers for that. 😂
That was awesome experience hhahaha
I had training wheels that came with my swagroller and they made riding possible. Im over 70 so i was slower then this guy. I moved up to a V8f and ride alot w/out training wheels, swagtron doesn't make there wheel any more. These are vary interesting.
I remember the Swagtron. I learned on the Fastwheel Eva Pro back in 2015. Fastwheel went out of business too. Great choice on the V8F wheel!
So many people are getting into EUCs more than ever now. These DIY brushes really make learning so much easier.
He is truly the new Daniel's son
Street sweeper truck is gonna be out of a job soon 🤣🤣
Ha ha! You win some you lose some. I just went riding with Aram yesterday and he rides like a pro now.
Dang that was quick. Ok I need more space and speed. Harder to balance when it’s slow. Need to put some protection to minimize scratches
Aram was impressively a quick learner. The key thing was he was persistent and motivated.
You basically summarized the key points. Good luck to you!
@@AdamU1016 yup, I never had a motorcycle, we do have a car, so this will be the closest thing to a motorcycle for me. I know hour to Rollerblade, hopefully that helps. Thank you sir
@@Cons2911 - Rollerblade skills will definitely help. You will also have an idea how to fall. Please gear up. Just don’t give up no matter how hard it is at first. You can do it!
@@AdamU1016 yup, I have my knee/shin pads I like em very much, wrist guard, helmet should be with me in 2-3 days.
How did you secure the brushes onto the pedals
I placed the Velcro pads in between the top of the brush and another block of wood to give it height. Try to make the brush height at least 1/2” shorter than the pedal height to enable you to turn.
ruclips.net/video/sx6wIZEy5vc/видео.html
Good luck!
I thought EUC:s use brushless thechnology. :)
Ha ha! Use the brushes for only 15 minutes then go brushless after that.
Are the student’s wrist guards on the wrong hands? Looks like he has the hard protective side up lol
They were on the proper way.
I want to learn,can i use ninebot z10 your DIY brush?
Absolutely. Just check to make sure you have enough clearance so you can turn. You can vary the thickness of the wood insert to accommodate. Remember you only use the brushes for about 15 minutes to get the feel of the wheel. After that, you go brushless. Good luck to you!
@@AdamU1016 thanks for info
If this chap fancies learning some more I’ve got a front drive that needs cleaning 😜
Lol. I will let him know.
Is that a GW Nikola you're using ?
Yes. That is my Nikola 100V with modded seat from my KS18L custom seat.
Would you recommend the Tesla or Nikola as a 1st EUC for a newbie ?
@@lanze8114 - They are both excellent and are also 16” wheels. The Tesla V2 has 2.125 inch wheel versus the Nikola with 3” wheels. I have ridden both and they are pretty stable wheels at speed too. You can learn on either. The major difference is the price. I bought my Nikola for $2,300 at Ewheels. The Tesla V2 can be had for $1,350 which is a steal for such a wheel. My Nikola 100V can go max speed 45 mph while the Tesla about 35 mph. Taking into account the price and the specs, I feel you will be quite happy with the Tesla V2. It offers lots of room too as you advance in your skill as the wheel has great specs.
@@AdamU1016 Okay Adam, thanks for the info and advice I was leaning more towards the Tesla v2 but the Nikola would be another good option.
@@lanze8114 - Make sure to pad up the Tesla V2 as it will get battle scars as you learn the wheel. Enjoy the ride and make sure you gear up. EUC is the life!
Like training wheels same concept
Yes. Same principle as training wheels but custom training wheels are rarely ever made for EUCs. This DIY is cheap and easy to make. I feel these are also more maneuverable than training wheels because I tried custom training wheels for my Fastwheel Eva Pro over 5 years ago. They were so stiff that I abandoned them after 2 minutes.

Don't look at the ground
Yes. Look straight ahead and the rest will come easily after much practice of course.
If u don’t looking down u already did it
Bonified street cleaner.
One hour?? It took me ten minutes to learn it 😂
Congrats! That’s a great achievement.
Waisted 30 bucks on this stupid ass idea. The blue brush is 4" the peddle height is 8" I'll need a 4" block off wood. Not to mention my peddles don't sit flush.. so..
Here is my original video on this brush. Hopefully it will help. I used screws to secure the brushes to the wooden blocks. I included the thickness of the combo of blocks and brushes together. This was enough to use on my KS18L and the Nikola for teaching. It really does work. Eventually I used Velcro to secure the brush/wood combo to the pedals. I threaded the Velcro straps between the wood and brush. Just loosen the screws and thread the straps. Tighten the screws to make the Velcro straps more secure.

You don’t want the brushes to be exact height as the pedal height as you won’t be able to maneuver at all. My setup above can basically work for most EUCs. What wheel do you have with 8” pedal height?
Brilliant!
Thanks Bro!
