Even though I spent over 6 months making this video, I still forgot to mention a few things! One thing I missed that is important is how long each step usually takes: Step 1 “The Pole”: 15 -90 minutes (don’t skip ahead! It actually goes faster if you wait. You can even advance faster if you spread this out over several days so your body can sleep on it) Step 2 “Dismounting”: 5 -15 minutes Step 3 “Lasting 8 seconds”: 15 - 60 minutes to get riding (Months to master - small windows of riding more often is better than long windows of working at it. Remember that it is all about implicit learning so let your mind sleep on it… A LOT) Step 4 “Free Mounting”: 15 minutes (I recommend waiting until you have been riding for over a week) Step 5 “Avoid Wobble”: Only takes a second, but requires being comfortable on your wheel. The better you are, the easier it is. Step 6 “Tighter Circles”: You should only need to do this for 30-60 minutes, but it is ideal to split that up over days. Step 7 “Advancing to Slow”: 5-15 hours lol! Just do a couple minutes at a time each time you ride. It will take a long time to get good at going really slow. Step 8 “Offroading”: This really depends on the size of your wheel, but generally a rider can deal with up to a 3in bump within a month of riding if they are riding a few times a week. Step 9 “Mastering the EUC”: Even though I saw my friend doing it daily (he already had his for 2 years), the idea of carrying things was unthinkable for the longest time. But over time, I started carrying bigger and bigger things until one day, I realized that I can carry much more on my EUC than I can even walking slow because my body doesn’t have to shift while I move. Don’t try to force this. It will come with time.

Thank you for posting this! I am waiting for my first wheel, a V5f ordered from EUCO. I am 52 years old and learned to ride a hoverboard in my home almost a year ago, and soon ran into Wrong Way on youtube and got hooked on the idea of getting the electric unicycle- I have experienced much of the joy riding the hoverboard that you describe with the unicycle and I am excited to learn mine when it gets here. Thanks again.
I just got my wheel and have been taking all the tips and tricks content I can get my hands in. Can confirm this is the most comprehensive I have found and is worth every minute, thank you so much for your efforts!
This video is wonderful and full of great tips. I'll be thinking of this video tonight when I go to a park and practice more. I rode for the first time yesterday. In the 30 minutes I tried to ride in my own yard, the thing that I noticed which helped me - and that I haven't seen in any video I've seen yet - is this: When I FIRST started trying to ride, I kept looking down at the wheel and I could not keep it straight for longer than about a foot. Through no conscious effort, at one point I happened to look up from the ground and off into the distance where I wanted to go. I was immediately able to (more than barely) ride the wheel and made it around my house twice, which would be a ride of a few hundred feet. Be sure that I still fell and am still working on finding my balance but looking off into the distance made an immediate change for the better. In real time, when I looked off in the distance, my wife yelled at me that she could see an instant improvement in my ability to stay upright. heard her yelling it behind me in the distance :). It is still hard to ride it (with only 30-45 minutes of experience) but that one small thing (looking where I wanted to go) REALLY helped. I think it was just an autonomic response for me to look down at the machine while riding it. However, during that ride around my house, I felt like I was flying and my wife even noticed how much fun I was having. These things are quite amazing! And you are right: The rider is 'always falling' which goes against everything my brain and is something I did not consider until seeing this video. Once I figure that part out, I'm sure I'll be able to ride better and longer. Cheers and, again, wonderful video!!!
As a very expierenced pedal unicyclist I stepped on a v5 and learned euc in like 2 or so minutes And I did it in THE GRASS lol This is the best instruction on learning euc I’ve ever seen like ever I carried massively heavy and bulky objects like a car hood do other work with my 16s it’s insane how useful they can be ❤️❤️❤️
Old video, but it's still coming in handy. I'm just starting out, taking it slow with 15 minute session most days after work. I'm starting to get it down a little, but far from ready for the streets. Great video that gave me some advice I'll take with me as I train. Thanks a ton.
Great video and tips - these machines are life changing - purchased a Gotway Nikola 100v wheel a little over a month ago ... comfortable now ... has all the speed and range I'll ever need .. it's waterproof .. has RGB lighting and bluetooth speakers ... man what a rush crusing the neighbourhood at 15-20 mph with tunes coming out of the wheel ... like a jetpack between your legs .. i wear bike helmet, wrist and knee guards and waiting for gloves to arrive as I play and teach guitar and cant damage the hands in the event of a bad fall. Need to work on trail and dirt road riding ... very diff than sidewalk and paved bike path riding for sure.
Can't wait to get my first EUC. I have a onewheel and it's super useful, an EUC however looks like it would be even better, more portable, longer range and even faster. Currently i use my one wheel to help me get lunch quicker on break during work, saves so much time!
Just wanted to say thanks for your tips. I've already started using them today. Im a new rider ( Tesla 3 ),and they really helped. Especially the 1 leg tips like starting and stopping/dismounting. I did that all morning today. Really increased my confidence level. Plus your entertaining! I have a long way to go, but thanks to your tips, you managed to bring these goals within reach of a new rider. I was definitely getting disappointed until I watched you. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there in an easy to understand manner and being fun to watch at the same time. ( bathroom trip )lol. Take care. Jeff.
Hi! Seven months on, how do find the Tesla 3? I'm particularly interested in whether the width of the vehicle is an issue (T3 is a wide boy). Curious as to how comfortable the relatively wide-stance is... and whether it aids with stability.
@@fakepants Good ride. Stable. Good battery life. Very happy w it. I have it wrapped w a rubber cover 2 help w falls n scrapes. Kind of a brittle case but ok. Same as others. I've bashed it up over time and it keeps going. Decent speed, at least for me. I keep it about 25 mpg and ride t beeps. No cutouts so far. Ok volume. Speakers are ok. I play my music on them. Have gotten 20 miles on rides w good voltage left. I like t stock tire. Good all around tread pattern. Im 225 and it easily powers me up steep inclines w no issues. Amazing actually. Very happy w it. Got it from Alien rides on Arizona. Killer customer service. Super good people. Would buy from them again.
@@MrLittleman777 Thanks! Really appreciate the response. Shame about the current supply constraints. Am hoping to get something in a month or two - hopefully on sale.
@@fakepants They were still available last I checked. About t same price I paid. $1700 or so? I feel its a good bargain for what it does and what you get. I really did my research b4 pulling t trigger. On Wrong Way's channel, he did a decent review of it. He really showed what t wheel can do. Im nowhere near his skill level. Check it out. He beats it up pretty good.
This is probably the best tutorial for beginners available on RUclips. Thank you. And now I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice with my recently purchased EUC.
This is very helpful video and now I'm even more convinced on getting an EUC. Thank you for sharing. I love how you stuck your daughter in the backpack BTW 😂. I have a 12 year son old myself. I have been riding onewheels since covid for about 4 years but I would love to have both PEVs. The range on these things is crazy and you're right the usage on these things is unbelievable.
Beginner but not struggling to ride. Actually riding up to 17 mph on my 2nd day. I get more wobble when I’m riding due to not carving or being on that edge .. I haven’t gotten wobbles slowing down yet. Love riding these things man. It’s truly a gift use to snowboard in colarado. Now that I moved back home to Florida it’s like the closest thing to skiing I’d imagine. Just such a freeing feeling
I just got up on my V5 for more than 15 feet for the first time today. ive had it 3 days (And day 2 i was too sore to ride!) and i just finally got it up and rode it around the block without having to stop, even having to dodge some pedestrians. i did eventually bail when i tried a new route that was a little too steep and i had to bail around 12mph. not a big deal, didnt hurt myself. these are awesome vehicles!
Dude, I think you give the best comprehensive tutorial ever, and I seen alot before i bought my Veteran Sherman, I disagree with you about safety and gear. Its not a factor of if you go down, its a fact of when. Wrist, elbow, knee protection is a must. I do agree with you on grass and slow speeds, the only thing needed even @ slow speed is wrist guards.. Keep up the great videos.. I wish I seen this a year ago, I'm digging your vibe, thanks.
Wrong about the helmet. You should always use a full face helmet as most accidents with head strikes hit with face/jaw first and a basic bike helmet won't do much. You're not pedalling a bike so helmet fatigue is less of a thing. Other than that, excellent video.
Exactly. This guy's advice on safety is the worst I've seen. As to helmet, one guy on social media was casually riding his EUC around his neighborhood at slow speeds on sidewalks, hit a speed bump and face planted. Broke out all his front teeth, broke his jaw, and needed major reconstructive surgery. All because he was overconfident. Also amazed he's riding around without wrist guards, knee protection, elbow protection, and was even carrying his unprotected children around. Sure, he may feel pretty stable, but damn, one mistake and he could seriously hurt someone. His advice about driving against the flow of traffic, and some of the shenanigans he got up to riding against oncoming traffic without a shoulder. Just no. People should ride with traffic to give cars more time to see you, and so that when cars turn out in front of you, they're looking in your direction as they would normally to check for oncoming cars. Same for cars that are coming from behind you and need to make a right turn, they'll see you, whereas they may not see someone coming from the other direction.
I've noticed getting wheel wobble, but only since I've gotten a bigger and heavier wheel (Ninebot One vs KingSong 16X), I guess it's just a matter of riding more and getting used to it. Great video by the way, wish I had seen this when I was first learning. Thanks!
well done man! this video is a huge help! thanks for putting it together it's obvious it was a ton of work.... but you really did the EUC community a "SOLID" on this one!!!!
A good buddy of mine recommended me this video and I love it it's my first EUC and this was very help full for my first time thank you for the helpful information 👍👍👍
Dude. Most down to Earth educational video about EUC. Thank you. I’ve been on the fence about it but after your positive video I’m looking forward to getting my v8s. 🤙🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this! I'm thinking very seriously about buying one and like my e-bike, I'm going for the gold and getting an upper model. The prices are kinda scary but when I learn to ride I'm going for the gusto like in everything else. GO FOR BROKE!
The absolute best EUC training video I've watched them all and hands down you're the best. I have one question for you please give me a link to that black full face motorcycle helmet you wear. Brand and model would be very helpful thank you.
Nice video! I love everything you covered, great suggestions and tips. The only thing I disagree with is safety gears while riding on pavement, unless you don’t value any part of your skin, face, or breaking your wrist, even at a slow speed.
Agree, Jim Chow. You never know when a fall can happen. And they will happen, no matter how good you are. The wheel can cut out and when you fall, your hands break the fall. My wheel cut out and had I not been wearing good gloves and wrist guards, it would have been very bad news. Even with the gear, my elbow was slightly injured for an entire year. But lecture about safety gear aside, this was a good video that I wish was available before I started riding several years ago.
Very good representation of us EUC riders experience! However I believe no matter how good the EUC is promoted, the high entry barrier will always make sure seeing an EUC on street is rare. Once I heared in a store a girl with a e-scooter said they were stolen 3 times, as I usually don't even lock my euc, i just left it somewhere as the thief prob doesn't know how to steal it without prepare ahead.
Dude this was great , Iv been riding two days and I love it so much. I wish I could find a giant patch of grass cuz iv scuffed mine up soooo hard :/ haha
JCF - Thanks for this video. I'm a new rider and still learning. This video definitely will help me a lot and be more confident in riding it. I agree that this will be a life changer. Additionally, you mentioned about for the military. I'm currently active duty and combat experienced. Though I dont think that this is ok in the jungles if we decided to be more tactical. But it will help in logistics aspect of the mission. It really depends. Other than that, thank you again. Keep doing this kind of videos. Cheers to you!
Very helpful, used mostly your video + 1 more, for my start learned from step 1 to 4 in 2 hours. It was mind over matter initially as I combined step 4 and 2 together and then jumped to concrete..found myself talking to the EUC when I got it. Next will use your tips on circles to.get my turns better
As a son of a firefighter who hears all the storys… ALWAYS wear your helmet, you have no idea what your head could hit, it could be a tree a rock in the ground or even the wheel itself. Always always always wear your helmet and try your best to always have the most amount of gear as possible on. Dress for the slide, not the ride.
So glad this showed up for me it would have taken so long to find it on the channel had no idea about this video. Forget buying a leaf until cybertruck comes out I'll just get one of these lol.
A very good and informative video..much enjoyed even though I learned…on grass, a couple of years ago. ….One thing though. The pressure indicated on the sidewall of a tyre is the Maximum Cold Inflation pressure, it is not the recommended operating pressure. The operating pressure will be given in the owner handbook of your wheel. 👍
Unfortunately just seeing this video now….Man, thats a great comprehension! The one and ONLY thing i dont like is that you dont wear ANY knee and wristguards, which are essential, as these are the first hitting points in case of a fall. Other than that: Goodjob!
Enduro bike helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a back armor is thoroughly recommended for everyone. Saying you don't need it is a serious disservice for riding safety. You don't need them until you do, but at that point you are done for without gear. Full face helmet, always. You don't want to break your arm just because a tree branch hit you in the face or pay for full dental reconstruction because your jaw hit the pavement.
I didn't say you don't need it. Polarizing things like safety has hurt more people that car wrecks. Go watch it again for the nuance and you will see how your comment doesn't apply at all.
@@JCFRUclips Well as you can see nuance gets lost a bit too easily and all i can hear you say is you dont need it. Nuance is culture referenced, but this video is global. Doesn't work.
17:02 I remember back when 'trunk-monkey' was a thing, but This... This is just a whole new level of awesomeness! Did you get the crowbar or flamethrower upgrade as well? 🤣 On a serious note.. I'm seeing more and more people dropping info about the gear that they use.. For us 'dual sport motorcycle guys', IMO one of the best packs out there for light/medium-duty would be the: *KLIM Nac Pak* Not only is it a killer little backpack, it'll also incorporate a hydration pack.. Win Win. Great video dude!! 🤘 Sam -
Wrist guards are probably the most important safety gear ,knee pads and elbows also most people find this out within their first year of wheeling. Or first few thousand miles on the pavement.....
1st tip, if youre adult, get 16" wheel to learn lol. 14" is way to small. 2st tip - for learning the best place is a stadium with resin cover, grass is not flat enough
I agree that the military (and everyone) should try euc. Something like a veteran sherman but on steroids. I'd imagine they would want 400km range with insane weight capacity. This with the jetsuit guys and then guys on foot trying to keep up.
Just a recommendation as a motercycle rider who has taken a fall, please wear a full helmet if you're going over 30mph. Back in the 50's motercycle riders used to ride at similar speeds to these fast unicycles today and they held the same belief that a full face would block peripheral vision, but it's been shown in many studies from that time up till now that it is more deadly to not have the protection, by allot. I went down at 30mph and broke my collarbone, and If I wasn't wearing a full face helmet, I would have skinned the entire left side of my face on the pavement and maybe even broke my jaw.
@@hiddengameseekerlp1786 wow! I just looked it up and you are right. So funny how a country that is pushing electric cars so hard would have such a backwards and outdated law as this. But I am curious, the law says it defines the illegal electric vehicles based on their top speed range if it is 6-20kmh. My EUC goes 50kph and there are now some EUCs that go up to 80kph. So if you or your dad got one like the one I have, does it not apply to the law?
@@JCFRUclips The law says, that they are generally not allowed for use in not private property in germany. The EUC of my father reaches 20km/h at max speed

As to helmet, one guy on social media was casually riding his EUC around his neighborhood at slow speeds on sidewalks, hit a speed bump and face planted. Broke out all his front teeth, broke his jaw, and needed major reconstructive surgery. All because he was overconfident.
Also amazed he's riding around without wrist guards, knee protection, elbow protection, and was even carrying his unprotected children around. Sure, he may feel pretty stable, but damn, one mistake and he could seriously hurt someone.
His advice about driving against the flow of traffic, and some of the shenanigans he got up to riding against oncoming traffic without a shoulder. Just no. People should ride with traffic to give cars more time to see you, and so that when cars turn out in front of you, they're looking in your direction as they would normally to check for oncoming cars. Same for cars that are coming from behind you and need to make a right turn, they'll see you, whereas they may not see someone coming from the other direction.
Since I got a motorbike helmet, 35mph feels superlow 😅
Yet I have to upgrade from the v11
I didnt know I needed this video.
I've noticed getting wheel wobble, but only since I've gotten a bigger and heavier wheel (Ninebot One vs KingSong 16X), I guess it's just a matter of riding more and getting used to it. Great video by the way, wish I had seen this when I was first learning. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
This guy really nailed how useful eucs are
well done man! this video is a huge help! thanks for putting it together it's obvious it was a ton of work.... but you really did the EUC community a "SOLID" on this one!!!!
Thank you for your sweet words. I am starting to work on an advanced tips video. Might be a little while before it comes out though.
I love this instead of putting gaming this is extremely fun for you Fuerza
Enjoyed watching your kids ride. Looks like kids really love it.
Wow wow wow. you should be a professor. hands down the best teaching. Damn dude!
March 28 my arrival of my new inmotion v12 thanks great video im sure to follow
Great video. The wobble scared the hell out of me. I know now that I have to slow down until I'm more comfortable.
I'm eight months ago, I bought my first EUC, and I can attest that it did change my life on some extent
A good buddy of mine recommended me this video and I love it it's my first EUC and this was very help full for my first time thank you for the helpful information 👍👍👍
Really great video and wished I'd seen it a few weeks ago when I first started...👍
Great video, one I come back to soak in more knowledge each time.
Dude. Most down to Earth educational video about EUC. Thank you. I’ve been on the fence about it but after your positive video I’m looking forward to getting my v8s. 🤙🏻👍🏻
More tips:
Doing a T-pose while riding an electric unicycle makes you even more menacing.
yay, senpai noticed me
lmao
Thanks for this! I'm thinking very seriously about buying one and like my e-bike, I'm going for the gold and getting an upper model. The prices are kinda scary but when I learn to ride I'm going for the gusto like in everything else. GO FOR BROKE!
Prob best video on this ever
Excellent advise
The absolute best EUC training video I've watched them all and hands down you're the best. I have one question for you please give me a link to that black full face motorcycle helmet you wear. Brand and model would be very helpful thank you.
here you go www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDJ87X3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
also, if you can help me spread the word. RUclips does not view me as a EUC RUclipsr so it is not promoting the video
Nice video! I love everything you covered, great suggestions and tips. The only thing I disagree with is safety gears while riding on pavement, unless you don’t value any part of your skin, face, or breaking your wrist, even at a slow speed.
Agree, Jim Chow. You never know when a fall can happen. And they will happen, no matter how good you are. The wheel can cut out and when you fall, your hands break the fall. My wheel cut out and had I not been wearing good gloves and wrist guards, it would have been very bad news. Even with the gear, my elbow was slightly injured for an entire year.
But lecture about safety gear aside, this was a good video that I wish was available before I started riding several years ago.
Good tips, thanks ! 🙏
Very good representation of us EUC riders experience! However I believe no matter how good the EUC is promoted, the high entry barrier will always make sure seeing an EUC on street is rare. Once I heared in a store a girl with a e-scooter said they were stolen 3 times, as I usually don't even lock my euc, i just left it somewhere as the thief prob doesn't know how to steal it without prepare ahead.
great video - well done. Thx.
Dude this was great , Iv been riding two days and I love it so much. I wish I could find a giant patch of grass cuz iv scuffed mine up soooo hard :/ haha
Awesome! You will do great!
JCF - Thanks for this video. I'm a new rider and still learning. This video definitely will help me a lot and be more confident in riding it. I agree that this will be a life changer. Additionally, you mentioned about for the military. I'm currently active duty and combat experienced. Though I dont think that this is ok in the jungles if we decided to be more tactical. But it will help in logistics aspect of the mission. It really depends. Other than that, thank you again. Keep doing this kind of videos. Cheers to you!
I learned in ONE DAY! Z10 is the shit
Great video bro, thanks!
Very Helpful!!! Subscribed!
Awesome video.
I love my EUC,s
Perfect video cheers.
Imagine driving on the road, u look to ur side and see some dude with just a wheel lmao
Great tutorial. Learning in so intrinsic. I'm at that point to almost driving less n making my wheel the main mode of transport.
ok, you are an AWESOME teacher👏🏼
Wow, thank you!
No protection (what so ever, not for adults, kids, wrist, knee, ...)😎
Greate video👏
Very helpful, used mostly your video + 1 more, for my start learned from step 1 to 4 in 2 hours. It was mind over matter initially as I combined step 4 and 2 together and then jumped to concrete..found myself talking to the EUC when I got it.
Next will use your tips on circles to.get my turns better
As a son of a firefighter who hears all the storys… ALWAYS wear your helmet, you have no idea what your head could hit, it could be a tree a rock in the ground or even the wheel itself. Always always always wear your helmet and try your best to always have the most amount of gear as possible on. Dress for the slide, not the ride.
Thank you
So glad this showed up for me it would have taken so long to find it on the channel had no idea about this video. Forget buying a leaf until cybertruck comes out I'll just get one of these lol.
A very good and informative video..much enjoyed even though I learned…on grass, a couple of years ago. ….One thing though. The pressure indicated on the sidewall of a tyre is the Maximum Cold Inflation pressure, it is not the recommended operating pressure. The operating pressure will be given in the owner handbook of your wheel. 👍
Good job. More pls, thanks.
Unfortunately just seeing this video now….Man, thats a great comprehension!
The one and ONLY thing i dont like is that you dont wear ANY knee and wristguards, which are essential, as these are the first hitting points in case of a fall. Other than that: Goodjob!
Nice tips :)
Enduro bike helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a back armor is thoroughly recommended for everyone. Saying you don't need it is a serious disservice for riding safety. You don't need them until you do, but at that point you are done for without gear. Full face helmet, always. You don't want to break your arm just because a tree branch hit you in the face or pay for full dental reconstruction because your jaw hit the pavement.
I didn't say you don't need it. Polarizing things like safety has hurt more people that car wrecks. Go watch it again for the nuance and you will see how your comment doesn't apply at all.
@@JCFRUclips Well as you can see nuance gets lost a bit too easily and all i can hear you say is you dont need it. Nuance is culture referenced, but this video is global. Doesn't work.
This is the best EUC tutorial video on the internet.
Thank you! I am not one of the main EUC RUclipsrs so please share it with anyone you think it might help!
@@JCFRUclips agreed still in 2024-2025 valid truth
This is a really well made video. Thx
Excellent video
Def recommend you make an advance tips
17:02 I remember back when 'trunk-monkey' was a thing, but This...
This is just a whole new level of awesomeness! Did you get the crowbar or flamethrower upgrade as well? 🤣
On a serious note.. I'm seeing more and more people dropping info about the gear that they use..
For us 'dual sport motorcycle guys', IMO one of the best packs out there for light/medium-duty
would be the: *KLIM Nac Pak* Not only is it a killer little backpack, it'll also incorporate a hydration pack..
Win Win.
Great video dude!!
🤘
Sam -
Great video JCF
U saved my life
nice video...
Wrist guards are probably the most important safety gear ,knee pads and elbows also most people find this out within their first year of wheeling. Or first few thousand miles on the pavement.....
Wow you are very skilled. My son is the same, he will master it in a week lol.
Thanks for these EUC tips. Will you be making an advanced tips video?
Yes I will
Never drive against traffic..... never!!!!!!
Me knowing I will never buy one of these: Let's watch it just in case
1st tip, if youre adult, get 16" wheel to learn lol. 14" is way to small. 2st tip - for learning the best place is a stadium with resin cover, grass is not flat enough
More euc videos
jokes on you, I legitimately went around my block the first attempt😁 I used to ride the analog unicycles when I was younger so I guess that's cheating
yes. That is the only exception
Lol I just saw a guy at my work riding one of these and then I get home and see this
Great tips!
Absolutely :-) A word of warning, you will end up with more than one, I've got four :-)
so true! My family has 3 now and I am waiting for S22 Eagle!
About to have a V12ht, going to let the whole suspension wheel thing play out for a year or so before I get one.
Well nothing but a nother dope vid
I agree that the military (and everyone) should try euc. Something like a veteran sherman but on steroids. I'd imagine they would want 400km range with insane weight capacity.
This with the jetsuit guys and then guys on foot trying to keep up.
Me doesn't have and electric unicycle: write that down untill i get one.WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
Just a recommendation as a motercycle rider who has taken a fall, please wear a full helmet if you're going over 30mph. Back in the 50's motercycle riders used to ride at similar speeds to these fast unicycles today and they held the same belief that a full face would block peripheral vision, but it's been shown in many studies from that time up till now that it is more deadly to not have the protection, by allot. I went down at 30mph and broke my collarbone, and If I wasn't wearing a full face helmet, I would have skinned the entire left side of my face on the pavement and maybe even broke my jaw.
These people are heroes and badasses for not wearing PPE for when they fall. Especially on assphalt. Children do not make very good cushions.
Odin better get ready, im gonna storm into his castle on this thing!
Bro what the hell was this music. Other than that, awesome video😂 thanks for the advice!
Man. If you’re not selling EUC’s, you should.
my father is using this for a few years now but its not allowed in germany anymore :(
Why not?
@@mr.normalguy69 Idk german people are kinda weird...
I mean I am german, but there are rules that I cant really explain lol
@@hiddengameseekerlp1786 wow! I just looked it up and you are right. So funny how a country that is pushing electric cars so hard would have such a backwards and outdated law as this. But I am curious, the law says it defines the illegal electric vehicles based on their top speed range if it is 6-20kmh. My EUC goes 50kph and there are now some EUCs that go up to 80kph. So if you or your dad got one like the one I have, does it not apply to the law?
@@JCFRUclips The law says, that they are generally not allowed for use in not private property in germany. The EUC of my father reaches 20km/h at max speed
