Bought an EUC because someone stole my onewheel plus about a month ago- never looking back. I honestly loved onewheeling more than anything I ever had pev related, BUT the safe feeling of the euc plus the ability to look forward while riding- allows me to turn my head left or right and see the view- opposed to OWing where I am either looking straight at the view or facing totally away from it. EUC honestly changed my life in ways I can not explain, but I believe it changed how I see errands like a trip to the store- due to the faster speed than the onewheel, plus it plays music and has the trolley handle where it basically becomes a little pet youre walking
This is pretty much everyone. I had a OG One Wheel, but sold it yesterday. Trying to trim down the quiver since I was hoarding and just didn't have the time or will to give each board their love. Currently Rocking a Monster 100v 3100wh, Nik 100v 1845 (18650 model) A Kaly v1 and a v2 and a couple of older leiftech (Summerboard) models.
@rowehowe which EUC do you have? It's such a big market out there, so it can get hard to choose a specific model to get.
Right on, i do all that with mine. It just works for me.
Welcome to the party pal. Both my gotways r my very best friends.
Someone stole my baby Tesla v1 last week.😢
I loved her so much. I ended up getting her older brother, Nikola, and boy what an upgrade. Sherman arrives in a month and I can't wait.
Maybe Onewheels are fun, but once you go EUC, you never go back.
I've heard so many people sell their OWs to buy an EUC; never the other way around. That should tell you something. 😊👍
Imma ride 'til I die. EUC4LIFE, baby 👌😎
As a long time snowboarder, windsurfer, kitesurfer and lesser time long boarder, all I can say is that you couldn't GIVE me an EUC! It's a board or nothing. Just ordered my One Wheel Pint today. Enjoyed the great video you made though. Did a great job and very objective. Guess it is the subjective aspects of boarding that has me hooked. When I'm board, I board! Looking forward to the One Wheel.
Love how involved your family is in your content!
Love how he started with the idea of objective & subjective
Another objective measure could be "how does it handle inclines?" My EUC goes up 35% grades without even slowing down!
Another addition would be which does better on sketchy trails.
My EUC goes up 90% grade without even slowing down 😁
how about, how do they handle single track trails or off road in general? How about beach/sand?
I've seen few of the EUC around here in the Philippines and they definitely look cool..but I love the ONEWHEEL more even though I haven't seen one yet..I love the onewheel so much that it has become a stuff of my dreams and makes my wife so jealous..I'm 34 but still wish that Santa is real so I could get a onewheel!😊
I started riding EUC 2 weeks ago at 32. It's great. Don't let anything stop you.
@@wilhelmdietrich8474 Good for you 👍
My understanding is if you need to repair the OneWheel, you need to send it back to the US. It will cost a bomb to do that. Get an EUC. Easier to repair.
I just bought the Brake Free and I got an email from the CEO thanking me. I sent him a reply edifying you and that he should sponsor you. I credited you for my purchase. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for the support brother! Be safe and have fun!
Fair and balanced comparison. I would say the winner is the rider because no matter which one you choose, you will have the time of your life with no regrets :)
Love this! Yes. The winner is the consumer!

I'd give them my GPS coordinates, but that only works on GLOBES and would therefore be no good to the flat earthers. 😆
Jimmy i love that answer 😂😂
@@freshlycharged Those same people would probably think the OW is fake because it has a ROUND tire
@@ghdesign_ Guess they would love having flat tires. :-p
GPS would work exactly the same Jimmy but until you actually study the facts you wouldn't know that you simply made an assumption based on how you (and the rest of us) were programmed in grade school you were TOLD of the spinning ball earth and TOLD how ridiculous old time sailors were thinking they would sail off the edge of the earth but ask yourself what actual scientific facts your teachers ever presented to verify their claims - scientific facts that YOU can verify not merely something you were TOLD has been verified - Consider starting with youtube vids on infrared photography of the actual earth and you may see something surprising
EUC: performs better is literally every aspect
Onewheel: More fun
*Orders Onewheel pint*
It’s just like a mountain bike. Much more useful than a onewheel in every single capacity, but I still ride around on my onewheel everyday
@@Shadow-vd8ss poor decision squad shoutout! Bought a XR+ but had a tough choice between that and an electric skateboard with more range and speed for the same cost. The snowboarding feel of the Onewheel is what sold me. EUC reminds me of the skiing equivalent, no hate to it but wasn’t the ride I was looking for but to each their own
^^this lol
The most mature and multiple perspective youtuber there is. Such a good comparison!
You did a good job on ‘Please decelerate’ lol
I had the Pint and sold it because it’s dangerous, not sufficiently self-balancing and unstable. I’m glad I learned the EUC.
I totally remember you Lilian. It seemed like you really have the Onewheel an honest try but it wasn't for you. Thank goodness you have and enjoy your EUC. What do you ride?
Jimmy Chang I ride the INMOTION V10, and am looking into a bigger EUC wheel. Oddly this week, two men emerged from the elevator in my building with Pints.
@@TheLillianYoung give them a year. Either they will have XRs or EUCs.
Jimmy Chang 😁
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to present objective & subjective data. By far, this is the most helpful video I've seen. And you are very articulate. Really appreciate the energy and time you took to make this video.
Before I got into EUCs I was looking at a onewheel. When I started comparing the specs and performance, there was no way I'd pay so much for a Onewheel when I could get something of much better performance for the same price. Now a proud owner of the M super X and very satisfied.
Got the 18 XL and around 3000 miles in 8 month.
@@MaximilianGros How is the reliability and build quality?
@@TLM860 Use it every day, no failure until now. Can't say any bad despite small things like fairly low pedals and occasionally hard shaking while trollying. I get 50 miles on hilly terrain.
@@MaximilianGros As a long time snowboarder, windsurfer, kitesurfer and lesser time long boarder, all I can say is that you couldn't GIVE me an EUC! It's a board or nothing. Just ordered my One Wheel Pint today.
Tom H like comparing apples to oranges
I snowboard a ton, so I bought a Pint as my first device and have been pretty happy so far. Just plain fun. I def wish it could go faster (30mph) and had added safety (reserve battery for balance to prevent nosedives). I also think FM could create a type of "walk the dog" setting on the OW to help with dragging it around. I'll buy a new OW if the next gen has more speed/safety/range, otherwise my next purcahse will be an EUC as it seems more practical.
Thanks for your thoughts. This and your V11 review has prompted me to put down a deposit for a V11. I have a Onewheel XR which I LOVE and it's a blast to ride but I'm not comfortable using it as a city commuter (my original intention). I'm a big guy and I worry about the XR being able to take me safely over big sidewalk cracks, chunky curbs, and rough roads - I have to watch every bit of the road in front of me. Granted, both vehicles are dangerous but I feel that a EUC is much more forgiving. I'm excited to compare the two - 750W/324Wh vs 2200W/1500Wh, that's a HUGE difference in power and energy, especially for nearly the same price. It's currently a minimum two month wait but I'm actually glad about that as I'm sure that the first few production batches (the guinea pig stage) are going through a lot of manufacturer's fine-tuning. BTW, I used your affiliate link. I see that a cookie was set with a ShareASale ID, so hopefully that'll get passed to you. Cheers.
I cannot believe how amazing this content is. My fiance and I have always innocently argued about which one was better, we dont own either of them yet, but she laughs at me and calls me a nerd for thinking the unicycle is cooler, and I call her a pansy for not wanting to go fast!!! We watched this video together and laughed our rear ends off and you literally made our day. This video is gem
Aloha Jimmy my name is also Jimmy lol. I just took the plunge and bought an one wheel xr. Just wanted to say thank you for making these videos as they have been very helpful with my decision on my purchase. Mahalo plenty from the Big Island of Hawaii.
Awesome! Thank you!
@Jimmy Chang This is your best video yet subjectively and objectively. It speaks to a greater way of thinking about the world around you and I appreciate it. One thing I would love to know more about is the maintenance, customer service and long term reliability of EUCs.
I'll start working on it
Hi, thanks for all your videos. The decision to go with an euc, over one wheel and escooter was about 30 RUclips videos in research.
I went on ebay and purchased the cheapest usable used euc as a starter euc. Less than $500🥳. I wanted to see if it was for me with a cheaper smaller wheel before i go for the Sherman/Gotway/Abram, as considerations etc as in investment of $3-4k. Your subscription on RUclips is my favorite. Just wanted to say thank you from a 56yo who still hasn’t grown up. I am not sure if riding motorcycles everyday, E bicycles, or skateboards and bmx bicycles so many decades ago will help. I love the videos. I am excited and determined to enjoy this journey.
I have both. The EUC is better. The End! (Trolley handle - better range - better performance - speakers - usb - more natural riding position - better curb hopping)
This was great! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more great content from this channel.
Love your videos...this one is excellent! Got me all emotional. Nice work JC, bravo 👏
Congrats on the 7k subs! Also, the scenery in this video is AWESOME! Blue sky, mountains... Imma have to head out to Colorado for a ride!
Love the video style. There are a lot of guy's in the Chicago Group that have both EUCs AND Onewheels and are always fighting which one is better 😂
Thanks for a very good and honest comparison Jimmy. I have a Onewheel XR and until watching your videos, I really had no interest in EUC’s. However, because of your awesome demonstrations of the capabilities of EUC’s, I’m now very interested and will likely end up trying one next. Keep up the good work! 👍👊
You didn’t add off-road ability and wether resistance
Shucks! You're right! I'll need a follow up video!
But Jimmy then EUC wins :D
@@AuRowe how? If we're going off of weather resistance and off road ability, I think a wider, closed stance vehicle would be better for off road.
@@urgarb9718Idk just my experience I can offroad with EUC like a madman and OW is very good too but for comparison I think EUC is king of of road, and based on the blizzard videos or riding in crazy rainstorms or on the beach literally in the water (a few inches deep) I kinda just assume they win for weather resistance, but no evidence to back that up.
@@urgarb9718 because your wheel is running at like half the voltage with 1/10th the pack that ours are. We can do things off-road that are impossible for you, even the shape, riding forwards is better for off-road, because your pads stick out on the axis your moving forwards, meaning you can't lean nearly as hard, not that the OW could even take it. For crazy banks off-road this is key. Uni's tend to be almost as weather proof as well. I owned both. The one weakness are 45 degree sideways tilt shutoffs.
After watching a bunch of your videos, i was convinced to get a EUC. I also went with your safety gear recommendations. I didn't see anything on what elbow pads are compatible with the flex meter wrist guard. Thanks Jimmy! Great content and once my daughter is old enough, I definitely want to get her involved in the sport as well.
You make great content, and a lot of it. Been watching a few onewheel videos of yours a day for quite a few days and I'm still gaining knowledge from them. I'm 90% im buying one, i'd pull the trigger now but it's winter here.
James Doss onewheels ride in all weather (maybe not heavy snow)
Hey look I showed up in a JC video playing air guitar on my OW. It was great to meat you that day Jimmy. To reinforce a few of your points I had battery issues that day due to improper charging cycles I was apparently doing for my OW. I don't know if the EUCs have the same issue but I unfortunately learned the hard way how these batteries need to be left on a charger for extended periods of time which is a huge drawback of electric power. The EUC at least can be easily carried but the OW is an out of the box 28lb or so device not to mention the 3lb I probably have in mods. I too broke my collar bone like like too many of us old dudes have and I still love that damn thing. The EUC has me super intrigued. The range alone would be game changer. Honestly It just looks like it would feel too dorky to ride facing forward. I think its my sk-8 or die attitude we had against rollerbladers makes feel that way about EUCs. You make a strong case here Jimmy. Remember to hit up the Front Range Floaters on Facebook when ever you come down to Colorado Springs. Hopefully when you do I'll my board back from Future Motion with a new battery or whatever that damn thing needs.
Front Range Floaters Rock! Look forward to riding with you and your air guitar more in the future!
Jimmy,
Love how you bridged the info gap between eucs and one wheels. I really like checking out new content to help me with my channel. Keep up the awesome vids. Just subbed!
Awesome video, Jimmy! You did the most definitive summary between the 2 wheels. Coming from an EUC community, you really hit the nail on the head on why I prefer the EUC more. Range, speed and that exhilarating feeling I get at 30 mph hands free is amazing! I have tried the OneWheel and it is also a great feeling to ride. Sure the side stance seems cooler. I do prefer snowboarding to skiing also and I always thought snowboarders were way cooler than the skiers. Lol. However, I have done more rollerblading in my life than snowboarding and skiing and feel quite comfortable and natural at the forward stance. In addition, I discovered the EUC first and had never heard of the OneWheel in 2015. Things might have been different if I had been introduced to the OneWheel first also. Anyway different strokes for different folks. Let’s all just appreciate the fact that whichever wheel we ride, it gets our endorphins up and we get to enjoy life better. Happy wheeling!
We live in amazing times with amazing technology! Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Do you also prefer EUC’s because you look so god damn goofy while riding it?
Really good informative video, as always😏 I learned a lot about EUCs😁
Thank you for the video! Excellent presentation on so many levels. Thoughtful, professional, and just fun to watch. Might even need to look at Colorado as a state to visit. :-)
Thanks for the support!
I like how clever you bring and how you explain your opinion, keep going. I also line your Colorado roads! Comment from Montreal, Quebec, Canada!
Such a great description! This is so awesome awesome Jimmy!
This video literally couldn't have come at a better time. I just got the 'okay' from the S.O. to purchase another toy earlier today. EUC vs Onewheel is where I landed, as I already have a bunch of eboards, a scoot, and an ebike. Even with all the advantages of the EUC, I think I'd still have more fun on the Onewheel. Been skating for more than half my life. I don't need max speed, even on my eboards I usually settle in at 16mph. When I need to go far or fast, I jump on my ebike that can go over 100 miles distance or 30+mph if a put in some effort. The only true downside of the EUC vs Onewheel, for me, is that portability thing.
Fingers crossed for a good black Friday sale from future motion. Think I'm set. Thanks for the video!
How to pick your first EUC coming next week!
I love riding sideways like surfing, skating, snowboarding... But the EUC is just incredible. So I went EUC .
Hopefully I'll have both eventually.
Excellent points - another awesome vid - thanks!
Long time onewheel rider here, good job on this video man.
Well done Jimmy, a really well balanced and thought out comparison. I`m a die hard OW fan, have the pint and XR and am an avid surfer, occasional skater and ex MX rider and for all these reasons the OW definitely wins hands down, but totally get what youre saying about the EUC, although I can`t see myself ever owning one.
Hey Jimmy. I was investigating alternative options for an ebike and was investigating OneWheel when I saw this video. I'm buying the new V8F through your link. So excited to social distance with speed!
another great video jimmy. kind of stung being called out ... "especially among middle aged me" . hahah
The truth hurts.
TRIGGERED. haha
You had me at the logical comparison to subjective versus objective...we need so much more of this right now...I’ve been toying with the ideas of these the past few years, and though I’m partially afraid of landing on my face, I felt the same way the first few months I road a Segway for my job in 2009....this is a great video, and very well projected. Colorado is a beautiful state, and I miss it! I lived in Broomfield for nearly a year...
At 55 years of age no gear my choice, fastest in Brooklyn. U only live once.
I live right next to Garden of the Gods, and can't wait to go riding there once I get my onewheel!
Well done! And well said! And love the Murch Indice
Just picked up a one wheel. You sold me Jimmy Chang. Same here with the favorite movie and snowboarding nostalgia. Hope it’s fun and gives me a lot of fun.
What a brilliant way to get around the park! Much less strenuous than biking and much easier stop an see the sights than trying to find one of the few and far between parking spots that are always full.
Fun over function every time Jimmy! I've been to Garden of the Gods, CO a few times myself. Nice place to ride...looks like you and the family had a great time.
Amazing ride. They closed the park to cars so it was all ours to enjoy.
A very fair comparison. Well done!
I'm glad that the EUC can out perform a onewheel in certain areas, this will push future motion to better develop and perfect their product. I for one love my onewheel, most fun ive had in years.
I totally agree! Do you ride a pint or an XR?
@@slyose6154 XR over a thousand miles on it and counting
Great video and damn, now you have me jonesing for rip around TGOG on my onewheel, or e-bike cuz I don't judge based on the number of wheels. I do miss Colorado and having only lived in one state in the USA for a grand total of four years, I am right there with you Jimmy. Colorado is the best!
You speak objectively my friend! Colorado is the best!
You helped me a lot. And using footage from one of my favorite places just made it better. I have decided to buy an EUC first. As I live in Broomfield and need the extra range to get to some trails. I will buy a Onewheel next year. For fun.
Great Video! Helped me and my wife make our decisions on what to buy Personal Electronic Mobility items.
Thanks Jimmy got an answer already just after 2 days, I also own exway X1 pro :) and some other electric skateboards.
In between OW & EUC, group riders who rode both prefer EUC so I wanted to see what's your opinion. To me I tested all those off road machine OW, EUC & E-MTB on the same trail on & off roading, the 8" tires E-MTB & 14" tire EUC that I had are much easier stay balance on rough terrain with a higher speed VS OW, after rode all of them on the same surfaces back and forward, I found out that E-MTB and EUC not just can go faster on those surface, they're also can absorbs bumps and cracks better than OW, they're all feel very different, OW have the self balance like a EUC but ride more like a electric skateboard with some floating feeling to it, it really comes down to personal preference :)
Long story short: The EUC is a fun way to commute and has wins in every aspect except that the One Wheel is more of a joy ride toy.
And thats why I have a onewheel
@@bo1273 yeah but with how expensive the xr is you could get twice the performance out of a euc for the same price, that alone makes it worth it
the video i've been waiting for
Thanks for your patience!
In my opinion onewheel'safter market industry wouldn't exist if the onewheel was a complete product like the EUC. good and educational video 👍
I watch these videos as I'm thrilled with the variations in electric mobility. I started out shopping for a potential ebike. Living in Maine local dealerships was a NO. So the only way to do any kind of informed decision making was videos like yours... it's literally the Wild West out there with claims vs actual performance. I'm currently looking at scooters as the cost per features dynamics seem at least now to favor the scooter. Still I'm fascinated by all the devices currently on the market and just around the corner. Just imagine doubling your one wheels range with solid state battery tech and an upgrade that allows sensors to allow your one wheel to follow you at you walking pace to reduce the need to carry it at least on flat surfaces. Stairs would still be a trick:)
Love your video style. Keep it up!
Excellent and detailed comparison.
Once spring it’s I’m coming out to ride over the just 7 hours away seems totally worth it.
Absolutely cool Jimmy! Greets from Germany
First, thanks Mr. Chang for another informational video.
Tell us about foot fatigue on EUC vs Onewheel. Also, don't test it, but we should look at crash durability. A shut off crash on a EUC seems to shred the device. On a Onewheel nosedive, you just shred your face.
Durability different between the different EUC models. Some are more durable than others.
Brain Juice - The KingSong shells are more durable than the Gotways.
I fell at 30 or so recently and my EUC is fine. Depends on the model and stuff.
@@Sparki0609 are you okay? 30 mph!
@@freshlycharged I'm good! I just overleaned my nikola and it cutout on me. Full gear did it's job and I walked away with a bruised heel and some other minor scrapes/bruises.
Another major safety feature of the EUC is that the stance is inherently safer. If there is a power failure or loss of balance at less than 15 mph there's a good chance you'll be able to run off the board without eating it. Its pretty much guaranteed you're gonna be eating pavement on the one wheel because it's very difficult to orient yourself into a running position while falling off of a sideways board.
Enjoyed the video! Keep it up :)
great video! very well made :)
traveled to Colorado for the 7/4 weekend and remembered this video. it inspired me to visit the Garden of the Gods. didn't have my onewheel with me but I saw a rider there. too many cars and ppl to go riding though. awesome scenery and I do agree, Colorado is a great state and some of the best scenery I've seen.
Sounds like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing!
@@freshlycharged I drove up Mt Evans also and can't believe you rode your EUC up the Mt. it was raining a little when I went but the ride up and down must've been fun.
@@DavidHLee that was a fun ride. How busy were the roads? Thinking about doing it again!
@@freshlycharged it was fairly busy when I went but I think an EUC ride was possible. it was just cold and wet up and down from Summit Lake. also my V11 is coming this week and can't wait to start learning to ride it! Onewheel is great and wanted to expand to EUC now. I'm a cruiser too so thought V11 would be a perfect fit. also being in Denver I can see why it's a great place to ride, there were so many bike paths all around the city. it was nice to travel around once I got used to the altitude :/
Rocking the merch! Nice dude. I get asked to compare the OW and EUCs all the time. My answer is consistent, EUCs dominate in range, speed, and ability to handle aggressive terrain, BUT the OW riding experience feels more fun, especially for old men like me. ;)
Can't wait to try your EUC stand! I think it arrived, but I'm out of town right now.
@@freshlycharged I need to get me two of those stands, what's duf's site?
@@jessepatterson8897 eucarmy.com/store/
I just bought a OW XR, it will arrive soon and I can't wait. I saw an ad for it and it spoke to me. It may be the "middle-aged man" thing, idk.
I saw the EUC on this video and other videos and chuckle because it looks so weird, while the OW looks so fun.
I've never done anything like either one of them before, so maybe the OW is the better option because it doesn't go as fast or far, since I'm a beginner.
Thank you for this report 💜
As for stance difference, you missed the most important. People feel safer and more in control with one foot forward and one back. Anyone who has ever played a sport, taken martial arts, danced or something similar will know instinctively that a side-by-side stance on a moving board is inherently a scarier position.
Also, it seems that the One-wheel gives you more flexibility in how you ride. If you look at your own videos, those on the one-wheel seem to be more relaxed, have more a more bent-knee position, are able to move their legs and feet without their hips (sort of like skiing). Again, I think this is more intuitive and comfortable position. I don't own or ride either of these, but thought I'd give my "subjective" opinion on what I see in your video. Nicely done. You all seem to be having a blast.
Jimmy: facts like the earth is round
Flat earthers: the earth is not a globe!
ruclips.net/video/WffliCP2dU0/видео.html
I don't understand why people compare the one wheel to snowboarding but nobody ever compares EUC's to skiing. Every comparison you made about snowboarding applies to me with skiing. Instead of a gliding hover board from BTTF, I have a magic carpet from Aladdin. Instead of skate boarding it is roller blading. I would also say there is one major factor you missed between OW and EUC, the stance and how tiring it is. As much fun as it is to carve sideways, it is more ergonomic to ride a unicycle. Facing forward is just less work at the end of the day.
“Whatever else you want JC to mean..” 😂 love you content Jimmy!
Really want both. Bought a onewheel, will attempt to get a suspension euc this fall😎
I have viewed about a dozen of your videos now and I am quite impressed. You have already gotten kudos on your video production quality and editing skills but I wish to complement you on your scripting and narration. Yes, you already have self-deprecatingly mentioned your "monotonal" delivery but I would rather describe it as low-key and moderated as compared to the hyperenergetic expostulations accompanied with gyrating gestulations while wearing costumes using colors not found in nature as seen on many, many, waaay too many, other RUclips presentations. I cannot maintain a caffeine high that long. My heart gets jumpy and I start to twitch.
Cogent content is your forte' not flashy, emotional, presentation and in this you are quite successful. Nevertheless, your video editing keeps the eyes active and engaged with pleasant content while not distracting from the narrative. That's a hard balance to achieve and yet you consistently succeed.
Your narratives have, in every instance I have viewed them, been balanced, rational, and concisely to the point. Even your use of analogies was effective - especially here in your treatment of the question of One Wheel vs. EUC. You effectively explained the difference and separated the fact based criteria from the emotionally based factors and yet did not exclude, deprecate, or weight either "side" of the issue. I bet you did well on essay questions in school.
In short, Good on ya!
BTW, I hope your kids appreciate their really cool dad.
Thanks for this post! I appreciate the feedback and support!
Great video as always! Im a onewheel guy for sure! Despite all the facts that you mentioned, It's that stance that means everything to me personally. Im 45 now but i was a die hard skateboarder and a novice surfer when i was way younger lol. So the feel of the onewheel at any speed gives me that feeling from my younger shinanigans! I'll take less speed, less milage, less portability, less everything just for that feeling i get. There's something about how everyone looks on those euc's that is just so weird for me. Just my opinion of course, but locked in that forward facing stance.. no thanks!
the squarewheel speedwobble on 1 wheel is why people go back to traditional skateboards more than nosedives or anything else (uphill nosedives are terrible too on the 1wheel)...but really in this video you can see the guy having square wheel speed wobble. Exway x1 Pro FTW!!!
Good comparison Jimmy really informative👍🏻 you making thinking about trying a Kingsong euc just make me curious about how it feel compare to my Nikola. you have to come back with more content 🙏🏻
Feels quite different from my Nikola, in my opinion. I'll be doing more EUC content soon so stay posted!
Beautiful and wonderful surroundings !!! :)
I have both. The only category I think the onewheel wins is the fun factor. But even that is subjective.
On the last group ride I went on, half the time the Onewheel guys were looking for somewhere to charge. I think riding is more fun than charging.
Awe man. Nice you beat me. Am def planning a face off video. Just need to buy another euc!
I love all your videos the best keep up the hard work👍🙂😀
nice video and info man. i still ride both and it just how i feel that morning before i ride but not gonna lie i lean toward euc most the time
I'm with you! It is the natural progression.
California is the best state, though. Colorado is good, but objectively lacks an ocean.
Got a OneWheel from my crazy brother for Christmas, having never done any kind of board sport (or any other sport, really) and in my fourth decade of life. Been enjoying it and enjoying your channel.
We need an updated version of this video!
Jimmy, you are right on being subjective on which is the best States- I would say CA if you like to ride Electric transportation (Onewheel,EUC,E scooter,E-bike). Why CA- simply -weather. In Bay Area-LA-San Diego-you can ride it year round.Ca weather is not too cold and no snow during winter and not too hot or hot and humid during summer. Yes,I agree Onewheel is the bomb.
The one wheel xr is fantastic
I watched the view more than the subject. What a place !
It's beautiful!
Good Analysis JC!
Nice vid, Jimmy. Dig it.
Personally I find the unicycle look silly. I like the onewheel more. If only it wasn’t so insanely expensive. Drawing up plans to make my own
Check out the Kingsong S18. Looks like a Ducati.

Get the “veteran Sherman” it will change ur life
@@jdogflipper7997 either change it or end it
Onewheel cost more 🤷🏾♂️
Hi Jimmy Chang! I love your video. The visuals, and in-depth comparison is awesome! 🤩 FYI, subjective data can have a good level of objectivity. For example: ask a sample population of the US to say what the best State is. Out of the 52% that voted Colorado, you then ask them to explain why they said that and you'll find 72% is because of the living conditions (completely invented). But such data is interesting to help you find objective measures of why certain people like a state over another ;)
Good point!
@@freshlycharged you still solidly make your points, though. And your video is very enjoyable to watch!
@Jimmy Chang, @Adam U
Thank you for posting this comparison. I have 4+ years OW experience and much of what you write resonates strongly, even though I have not tried the EUC yet. That is about to change in the next few days though.
But just yesterday I had kind of an epiphany about what could give the EUC riding experience more magic (in line with that of the OW): find a way to have *the feet stand further apart*, like on the OW. On the EUC the feet are positioned closer to one another than on the OW. And that is important.
Why? The key/killer feature on the OW, in my opinion, is that it essentially simulates a *see-saw*, a riding one at that :). And thus the left-right motion of the hip is activated more (often): more than on the EUC, also more than a regular skateboard, and more than a regular bike but perhaps not more than on a regular unicycle (which is more complicated to ride, I agree; way more difficult to master than OW; 5+ year experience).
If there's ever going to be an EUC on which the experience feels as cool as that of the OW, it's when that left-right motion in the hip is activated/engaged more. I am thinking / brainstorming out loud now -- without thinking about feasibility -- but that device would have a stance of the feet very similar to that on the OW. But you get propelled forward (only) when you move your feet up & down like if you were to stand as one person on a seesaw (OW). That way your core automatically gets activitated (more than when you accelerate on EUC, and even more than when you accelerate on OW..). Then you'd get some kind of a fish-type motion of the entire body.
Again, I don't *see* yet how that would work mechanically, but from the body perspective that is what you'd want to get.
Another thing I think that could improve the experience on the EUC is if the feet are positioned higher than they are now -- more risky, I know -- perhaps right in the middle of the wheel (as with OW). Right now, the feet are positioned below the midpoint level of the wheel. And thus you get less of a seesaw motion..
I'd be curious to hear from you guys from the EUC community (@Adum U & @Jimmy Chang), even if you feel like the EUC experience is magic enough already as is.. ;) ;) 🙏🏼😇👊🏽
Great thoughts. I like my for pedals a little higher to avoid clipping rocks when off roading. Other than that, I feel the stance is great.
Thank you for the insight vary helpful
I will agree that every one's opinions are that, their opinions and are not necessarily facts. I love my OneWheel XR and I know I'm going to love my GT I just ordered. I'm not into going 45mph in a straight line or go more than 32 miles a run, I love to cruise, carve, and enjoy the float. I bought my OW, because I love snowboarding and I wanted to have that feeling all year long. Plus, I wanted to keep my core and leg muscles strong when I wasn't on the slopes. When I go back to snowboarding, it's like I never took a break, my first runs use to make my legs, feet, and arches hurt. Now I just ly down my first couple runs with ease. I see why people love, want or enjoy EUC's, but it's just not my thing. Unfortunately the only gripe I have about EUC's, is that because of their speed and the way some people where I live ride them, my local trails are staring to vote on banning electric riding devices on the trails. The only way we as a group here in New Hampshire have stopped/delayed them from doing this, is that we point out how fast and dangerous some of the "Tour De France" want a bes bicyclist are on the trails.
Very mature comparison, got three EUCs right now but been considering trading one for one wheel GT
Another big advantage of EUCs vs the oneWheel - upkerbs are possible on the former, and massively risky on the latter !
