- Excited or just Curious about riding an Electric Unicycle? Here're 5 things I wished I knew before I bought one!!
Episode 69! Electric Unicycle (EUNI) are like no other form of personal transport, not just that they are harder to learn how to ride or that they only have one wheel. After having ridden one daily for the past two years, here are a few things I wished I knew before jumping into this awesome sport/ hobby!
Here's Archie/ Panda's ultimate Gotway DAY ONE CHECKLIST!
These steps require that you open up your side panel (side with the control board) first!
A) unplug the power discharge the capacitance by pushing the power button down,
B) Make sure that the phase wires from the motor are firmly plugged in
C) Make sure that all the wires are plugged in and there's a little silicone on them
D) check that both batteries or all three batteries are at the same voltage and then they connect,
E) check that all axle nuts and support l arms screws and shell screws are tight
F) check that all 12 MOSFET screws are tight
G) check that that is nothing blocking the fan and the fan is secured
H) when you plug the xt60 /90 back in secure it with zip tie,
I) have it standing while turning it on check the lights that they working check the cut off switch is working check buZzer and usb that is working and check that your charger is working.
J) when you still have the panels open check that you have a Bluetooth connection to your app and to your music
k) balance the wheel and out right pressure

You are totally right! Ever since I started riding my EUC, I can't even go 500 meters to the market by walking! Anything is an excuse to be on top of this awesome machine :)
And its gets better and better as your skill improves too!
@@OWGAC Really liked your comparison to video games! EUCs imo are like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. You have more fun the better you get and you start at nightmare difficulty. :D
"If your mind learns how it is to fly like a bird.... walking ... won't do no more!" 🥰
LOL its slightly scary as I had taken up jogging in the morning to make sure that I am at least still getting some cardios!
@@OWGAC I walk/jog my dog's.
But since i tried EUC walking them they just want me to take the EUC every time :D LOL
Literally standing next to it, and pulling me towards my V11. Need to make a video some time....
Still need to figure out how to walk 2 dogs, and hold a camera stick while riding a EUC :D
@@theeucguy I've heard people love using EUC's to walk/run dogs!
@@OWGAC Are the EUC's equipped with real gyros? Is it possible to leash the EUC to your waist and jog with it following you? It would be great to ride a few miles to where you want to jog, strap it to your waist, jog a few miles, then ride back home.
@@MrNopehaha it would fall over sideways.
My wife was complaining I don't walk as an exercise anymore :) True I lost interest in walking since I started riding a couple of months ago. I compensate by weight training more.
LOL Kelly says the same and she now make us run every morning to offset my laziness =D
This describes my experience with bicycles to a T. Every time I'm walking somewhere, I wish I were riding. Hiking a nice trail? "Oh man, this would be SWEET on the mountain bike!"
Welcome to the club!
That EUC High is sooooo real! LOL 😂
Definitely more so than I would have imagined and for context I have gone 180Mph on a motorbike.
The difference between riding something that goes fast vs you actually going fast is pretty significant.
Haha. Yeah it is
Your sentence structure is very good. Clear and articulate.
Thank you!!
Say no more sir. You convinced me! When you were saying, "are you watching all the RUclips unicycle videos" , and I was, yes, yes, and yes 🤣🤣👍🏼
Point 5. Very insightful. Hard to explain it but the damn wheel has rewired my brain.
For the better! =D
I believe that the Veteran Sherman has exploded the popularity of EUC's.
This was a huge surprise to me; I totally thought that with its price and weight it’ll be a very niche wheel!
naw!!!!
I ride an OneWheel and the Sherman makes me wanna switch up.
@@eyealienit lol
@@outerheaven2k7 I ride an EUC and i want to upgrade for the range and speed.
You blow my mind. Stay frosty. Love and peace be with you
Thank you!!!
Awesome 😎 thanks buddy!!🙏
I want to be clear, I did not catch the bug. I just happened across my first EUC video 10 days ago and have a V12 on order and about $1000 of new safety gear on the way. But no bug, seriously.
Obsession is so true...Just started riding two months ago. Have two wheels now and still adding to my gear list. Absolutely love the glide.
Awesome, gear up, don’t rush things and stay safe!!
I have ridden for 4 yrs and am on my Solo wheel Extreme every day. Super comfortable on it as a senior. Like the fluid feel of the 25 pound and think 77 pounds is crazy. Latest and greatest might also be too heavy for me. Love your programs.
Thank you! Sherman is really an extreme machine and as much as I like it I don’t think its for everyone, there are lots of other options like the V11 or S18 that would be better for someone whom isn’t as obsess about speed.
Dude! Your videos are epic. Music selection is top notch (Gone till November 😎) and witticisms abound. Keep doing what you're doing as you're one of the great ambassadors for the EUC community. Have a fantastic week ahead!
Thank you!!
Thank you very much ! It good one !
Its a steep learning curve but with record gas prices, it will be worth it
"Spending hours reading long boring threads..."
...I feel attacked.
LOL =D
We’ve been practicing on the mten while waiting for the v11 and s18. Thanks for the info and inspiration!
Oh the MTen3 is a great little wheel! Just be careful with that axle, I kept hearing people bending it by accident!
I love watching your videos
Thank you!!
Just wanted to say thanks for the content. You're doing a great job.
Thank you!!
Good stuff I love it thanks.
Thank you!
Yeeeees, I have caought the BUUUUG! :) Thanks for all the videos man!
Beautiful video Hsiang

Have you ever had a crash so bad that it bursts the chin guard? I also purchased a POC helmet with chin guard, so I'd like to know if you've had a chance to test the helmet.
dunno if you guys cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf during the lockdown :)
@Dean Imran yea, have been using instaflixxer for years myself :)
If you can help me secure a veteran Sherman most definitely..do you know when the next batches of Sherman’s will hit the states?
Top notch as usual Hsiang ,take care man.👍
Thanks, you too!
Hi Sean, you are definitely right, an EUC definitely makes you feel like a superhero when you're flying down the street. You mentioned something about "walking" near the end of the video, what is walking?
LOL =D
Great content always Hsiang...
Really enjoyed that one 👌👍
Thank you!
Perfect!
Thank you!
Been watching these videos all day, just ordered my first EUC a few hours ago. Starting small with the King Song 14D.
Awesome, have fun with that wheel! But take your time and stay safe!
@@OWGAC Thanks, definitely going the safe route, got my helmet delivered yesterday, got kneepads on the way, and wrist guards were included with the EUC. Trying to decide on elbow pads. Any recommendations on those?
Excellent contents and editing. You make your videos very interesting and cant hardly wait to see the next one. Glad to see you wearing more protection ( ;
Thank you!
Your videos got me inspired to get one!!!
Awesome! Stay safe and don't rush things! Nothing like overconfidence that get you in trouble quicker on these powerful machines!!
@@OWGAC oh yeah, I watch all your videos. Definitely respecting the process. I’m a white belt is how I approach it. Looking at the veteran Sherman since I’m 5’11 and 255lbs
*Works great, nice height.*
Nice.
=D
I just got back in from running the Waterfront Greenway, and hit the Roosevelt Island loop on the way home. Beautiful route for a Sunday morning leisure ride.
You're definitely on to something with this notion that EUC riding can change your brain. Since I started riding I've felt my information processing speed increase and got a lot better at dealing with sensory overload. I even got a little better at Super Smash Bros as a side effect.
It was part of the reason why I started my vlog!
the comparison too video games, makes sense. I feel faster after a good gaming session as well.
Good video✌️🍁
Thank you!
Number 5 really hit home🤣
Why I think euc is addictive!!
Hi Hsiang.
Great video as always.
I myself, drive my Gotway MSP (and Z10) with red driving glasses and I believe the difference in enhanced contrast has helped me improve my skills💪🙏❤️
Maybe it's only in my mind, but isn't that where it belongs 😜
I use to have these yellow oakley glasses that also worked really well but I lost them!
Very helpful, thanks. Knowing about occasional issues with reliability out of the box and the additional safety of a more powerful wheel are particularly helpful, as the Kingsong S20 is currently on sale for £500 in some UK online stores---which given the usually lower US retail prices, has been quite tempting!
(Though I have to bear the risk of battery fire in mind!)
Excellent content!! Your narration style has got to be the best amongst all EUC RUclipsrs! Cant wait for the Ex review! My only complaint with my Sherman is the motor control with pedal dipping. Whereas on my V11 the motor control is absolutely perfect. But I love the speed and range of Sherman and not having to worry about voltage sag with ten parallel packs.
Thank you!! agreed, most of these wheels needs some refinement when it comes to firmware and that' is actually the only area One Wheel seems to have an edge on EUC despite its limited motor power.
Woohoo. Couldn’t click quick enough. Best euc channel on yt.
thank you!!
This is an excellent video. You are right the ninebot z10 is the best looking wheeel.
Have you seen the ex.n?
New euc rider of Veteran Sherman here. I can confirm that ever since it came out, I immediately throw my money down. Its totally beat up now from me learning on it, but it was a once on a lifetime opportunity that I immensely enjoyed.
In the end its all about the experience riding and less about the wheel! Plus I can’t imagine you doing much real damage to that tank of a wheel!
I just bought an inmotion v5f to practice on. If I end up wanting to upgrade, at least I can give the v5f to my 11 year old son.
I never tried the v5f before but I heard it isn’t too bad of a wheel!
DOPE!
thank you!
I got my nik+ last December and I’ve been riding it everyday since. I just hit 6k miles on it yesterday and super loving it. I wanna see what the odometer will say after a whole year come this December.
Thx for the vid man keep it up
Wow, 6k miles is a lot! Very nice!
Rrrrrrr riders of the storm! 😎🥰
Welcome to EU where warranty is strongly regulated!
(If you buy the wheel from a EU Distributor :)
its good to have that assurances but I also hear lots of complains about what some of the EU Distributor charge for these wheels..
@@OWGAC Yes. There is a premium price associated with that. The wheels are much more expensive in EU.
But then again... how much is it wort it for you to know that you are covered for a minimum of 2 years?
As a alternative there is always a way to buy from Aliexpress for cheaper even with import taxes. But then you need to be sure that you can source replacement parts, and do the repairs your self.
I'm the only EUC rider in my town. My mission is to show drivers how boring and smelly they are.
LOL, make converts! Someone was telling me that they grew their local (Vegas) ridership from 4-5 to 50 over the past year!
They have them in my city. I do more damage on my roller blades.
Hey buddy, don't forget to pickup a pair of frost proof riding glasses at the home depot. How you log so many miles without proper eye wear defies logic.
I have like 3 pairs! But the problem’s that they all either distort my vision a bit or block out some peripheral vision, and being able to see clearly is super critical for me! I do wear them on fast rides and in the winter I have been wearing my skiing goggle!
Great feedback and all very true. As soon as you get the big you cannot stop. At 14:30 what was written in the sky?
hrm? oh I didn't even notice till you mention it!
Hsiang, i like all the most videos you made, 😎 greetz 😎
Thank you!
damn the intro is so adrenaline pumping 😂litterally described me
LOL =D
I wish I could contribute to your great quality videos in patreon. I just have so much problems, and the main one is getting through Sally the hurricane aftermath. Either than that your video is top notch that deserves every support.
No problem! I am glad you watch and like my videos!
Nice video, Hope you gave the Grumpy Cat 🙀 credit for using the Panda 🐼. 😂😂😂
LOL no credit to grumpy cat for being grumpy!!
Which EUC are you riding in this video? I love the red covering and seat on it.
It's my monster!!
Enjoyed your video. I looked at EUCs a few years back, but wasn't impressed at the time. Looks like they have grown up. Considering an Inmotion V11. looks like it has speed and range and suspension, and like the custom motor for the improved braking. I don't plan on doing any trail riding, so the KingSong S18 doesn't seem to be preferable. Anyone else running a custom made motor?
Really enjoyed watching this video.
Any ideas on what's happened to KujiRolls? He hasn't put out a video in over two months.
Laser headlights might be the next innovation from German car manufacturers to translate over to EUC's.
A high beam with incredible range up to 1,000 times brighter than an LED (according to BMW) at a far lower power level.
Great video, look forward to the next ones, thanks.
I think Kuji moved a month or two ago, so maybe he’s still settling down?
A note for anyone new.
I consider myself too have a very good scence of balance believing this is true probably helps more than actually being true...
I spent the first hour on my S18 not even able to go forward and it was hard my brain just wanted to balance and I could not will myself too go forward, but I knew given time it will become natural. The second d hour of practising none stop I started moving forward and felt great by this point I was nakurd and had taken a lot of effort but wanted too keep pushing, mentally I felt .ore comfortable riding on the grass I'm geusing this was because I knew I would have softer landing (i had full protective gear on). I think I only fell off the EUC twice during this and both times was not troublesome, I did however had many unwanted discounts (basically loosing balance and jumping off) as I approached the second d hour I was able to ride up and down the park. I was not able too navigate the EUC very well but manage too keep a good straight-line that someone 10 times over the limit would be proud off.
After those initial two hours I'm now in week 2 off on off riding (day two it felt like I ran a marathon and could not go back on it when you start out you use a lot of strength and energy wile you learn too keep balance) I now find myself in a place where I forget how hard it was too learn until a friend of mine attempts to ride the EUC for the first time.
But I must say without having the confidence too know that I will be able too ride it I would not be at the point I am now. It is tough but you need to believe that you will get there. It would have been easy for me too give up and if you saw me o. That first hour you would never have believed I would ever be able to ride it.
I'm still practising but now able to turn at will and come to a stop and dismount then re mount again.
I still have a lot going way too go but ever time I get on the wheel it feels amazing, its also worth noting that I am amazed how quickly I get from point A to B on this thing my perception feels as if I'm am going very slow (wear protection just me you will look so cool on the wheel anyway regardless of what you are wearing be safe.)
Great post thank you!
Great points, getting into EUC this captures the good and not so good well. What helmet are you wearing? Thx!
See the vid description for links to the gear I use!
EUC is totally NOT casual, you got that right!
Still waiting for my 1st wheel and the amount of time I've spent looking up protective gear is ridiculous. I think people should also look into their state and municipal laws as well in regards to motorized/electric-propelled devices. I've looked at several places in my area that I wanted to explore and found that EUC's are not allowed.
Check and see if those laws are actually enforced; last I checked in the US anything that doesn’t have a steering handle falls within the “assisted mobility device” category which is govern by the American Disability Act, so technically I don’t believe they can ban an EUC.
This video ages well. Still relevant.
What’s the name of the mouth/jaw guard attachment to your helmet? Can do you a review on it
Its part of the helmet and only work with that helmet, you can check my vid description for link to it
Nice vid... Tell me..what helmet do you have there. I like the chin bar for protection without it being a full face helmet.
Check my vid description for a link!
The first 3 questions were all a resounding yes, my name is Sal and I have an EUC addiction. Just got my v11, waiting for pads :)
LOL sounds like an AA meeting =D
Is this a chin protector? Very interesting!
Its part of the helmet I wear, you can check out the vid description for more info.
👍
First like. First comment
Legend! =D
Bellend......
Hsiang the poet of EUC.
Thank you!
Hey is it possible to learn on a monster pro
Did I miss the part where you talk about the importance of safety gear when riding? I was eating lunch so maybe I did miss it....
LOL I thought about including it but since everyone else all hammer on the point I figure I focus on things that isn’t as widely discussed. I may do a gear video just to talk about protection, but I’ll have to think of a fun way to do it!
I wear a Speedo , sunglasses and a 40 of Old È.... Cheers
I'm one of the first? How is that possible, my dad rly likes your videos too!
Thank you!
Luuuuuuved it ! How's the s18 doing ? That cover on the monster is so neat, how much did you pay ? i've seen it a few times but it seems rather rare
I absolutely love my s18. Crazy being again to jump curbs and go down flights of stairs. And just jumping every little bump with the suspension.
It was $400, not cheap, and I had to wait almost a year for it since shipping from Russia stopped due to the pandemic and only started back up recently!
Es una pena que en México no tengamos eso, cuando me enteré que en Perú y Chile tenían no entendí porque aquí no, que triste.
I feel called out lol
It's the high motorcycle riders have felt for a long time lol. Can't want to get one
Short of speed its closer to a moto riding exp than most other wheel I have ridden because of the gyro feel.
Love the video. What’s the opening song?
Check the vid description for links and title
@@OWGAC Found it! I never heard of that site before. Thanks for the heads-up. Also, I remember your earlier videos mentioning how riding the Ninebot on the streets was a challenge. I took it out on the city streets today and you’re absolutely right! It was a hair-raising experience, especially around traffic.
What Kind of backpack do you have on this video?
all my bags are from chrome industry, I really outta get a sponsorship from them LOL
This may be a dumb question, but I still haven't seen anyone talk about where they park/lock their EUC up. I want to ride mine to the gym and just general commuting to get food, etc. How do you secure these? Or do you just have to always carry it with you?
EUCs are very expensive and I wouldn't want to lock them outside and risk having one snipped. They are so easy to push around and small enough to not get in the way i would either leave them in the locker (some would fit) or just lean it against the wall somewhere I can see when I work out
angry panda here
LOL I love that ad!
So, i have been watching videos non-stop and reading things and am struggling soooooo much on what to get. I'm 235lbs. i want something for long-range since I'm on the heavier side. people say that getting a lower power wheel is better to get and learn on but at the same time, I don't want to just spend money all the time. If i put time into it do you guys recommend the Veteran as a stater/permanent. If not then what do you think? (Was also was thinking about the Kingsong 18XL)
I mostly recommend starting with a used wheel, not necessarily low power but you won’t feel bad dropping a used wheel and when you get better you can always sell it. The sherman is pretty bulletproof so if you can stomach the price, nothing wrong with starting on that wheel but be very careful cuz you can get yourself in trouble very quickly on it!
@@OWGAC thank you for the reply!
I’m thinking about getting an Inmotion V11 as my first wheel but I was wondering if you had any tips or I should get a different wheel first. I am not new to personal electric vehicles but I have never ridden an EUC. I’m thinking of getting the Inmotion V11 because I feel like I’ll waste money on a cheaper wheel just for it to not be good enough for me anymore. I like the idea of suspension on the wheel and it has a lot of range and that’s something I would like. Can you share your thoughts on this?
It wouldn’t be a waste if you start with something small and light like let say a V8, preferably used. Problem with starting on a new wheel is that you’ll drop it as part of the learning process and you’ll be sad to be scratching up/ damaging a brand new and expensive wheel! But there’re also no reason why you can’t start learning on the v11, the pedals are quite tall so it’ll be a bit harder to get on in the beginning but its def. possible.
@@OWGAC where can I get a used v8 from?
I live in Mississippi, the city I live in has majority of roads with no less than 35mph, I want to commute with a euc. I’m a noob to euc but I can’t afford to buy a wheel and then spend thousands more for a faster one. Could I learn on a veteran Sherman, and build my way up to commutable speeds in my area?
No reason why you can’t, just please be careful and gear up fully and ride safely. Speed above 30mph takes a lot of experience, not just being able to get up to that speed but also deal with issues like bumps or wobble at that speed!!
What are the giant pads at 3:30? The ones sold by ewheels?
No, those are custom Russian made leather pads.
@@OWGAC Oh, okay thanks Hsiang.
Hey is the mcm5 84v good?
Lots of ppl here love it for short distance ride, but as in all gotway, you need to know what to check since their QC sucks
I'm definitely interested in these but I think I'm going to wait a few more years. Things seems to be developing really rapidly and in a couple years I'll either get much more wheel for my money buying new, or current wheels like the sherman will be much cheaper on the used market.
I'm really curious if laws will catch up with these things anytime soon. At 40mph, these high end wheels are basically replacing vespa-style scooters. They're much closer to a licensed vehicle than something like a boosted board or onewheel. It's only a matter of time before authorities need the feel to do something about it, and we either see them start enforcing them as not street legal, or we get some kind of registration. I think the best case scenario is a moped-like registration, where you pay a 1 time fee.
I agree. London doesn’t even have sensible escooter rules yet.
We're probably a long way off from regulation; laws are still trying to catch up to escooter share and even though they aren't as fast as EUCs the people whom ride those scooters are also less prepared and I hear about a lot more injuries associated with those services.
I couldn’t miss 2 years of riding
Dude, don't wait. As someone who rode his first EUC only 2 weeks ago: Bite the bullet; You might not even be alive 2 years from now. Life's too short not to glyyyyde ;-)
When will you show the mating rituals of EUC
Oh you dirty boy! LOL
What type of helmet are you wearing?
Check my video description!
Had it then mine came in a week later. I usually get all into something then when I finally get it I'm like ehh ok what's next
Is there a way you can quickly swap out your battery while on the road? Remember before iphones, you can have multiple batteries when one ran out
You mean an 60-80miles range isn't enough for you?? =D remember that a spare battery pack this size (1500wh) will weight a good 20-30lbs and cost $700 - $800. It is possible if you are really determined but I rarely see ppl try to do it
@@OWGAC I was thinking it would be nice to have for euc's that have 30mi range used as a daily commuter. then, on days when you take a longer trip you can carry your spare.
@@jasonlee3139 I have an URBE two wheel scooter, and I only bought it because they agreed to sell me a second battery. It's a quick change. Been looking at EUCs recently. I see some have decent range, but still like the idea of a spare. Wonder if you could carry a spare in a backpack and tether it in remotely via a cable. 200 miles on a Monster. Talk about range. NYC to DC, San Francisco to Fresno...
The first few sentences of this video felt like a personal callout...
How is the regulation of eucs in the USA? Here in Germany it needs a EU-certification, insurance, licenseplate, vehicle id Plate and can only reach 22 km/h.
There are no regulation pertaining to EUCs and zero enforcement either, unfortunately it sounds like Germany is one of the least PEV friendly country in the world. The auto cartel would like you to keep driving I guess.
@@OWGAC Sadly thats true, conservativ politicans and car industry working together. Looks like we are forced to stay the "Autoland", with no speedlimit and combustion engine Cars.
How watertight are they?
Reasonably so, I wouldn't dunk one in a pool but you're prob fine in a light rain
Hi Hsiang I sold my KS 16x But now I want to go for something lighter as you know I hurt my elbow so I can't not longer hold onto a 50lbs wheel. I'm considering the Mten 3 84v. It only weight 22lbs What do you think? Any other suggestions for a lighter wheel, keep in mind I dislocated that elbow during summer time and because still hurst at times I can't manage heavy equipment, but I still can ride and I do not want to lose all the effort I put into the learning process. This is your friend Claudia from Fort totten Park at Bayside.
Hey Claudia! I wouldn't suggest the Mten, since its tiny wheel isn't very stable and I heard the axle on it also bend quite easily. maybe consider the V8F?
@@OWGAC Thanks for replying , you're absolutely right that's the same choice that Jason & Zen from e-wheels gave me; they both suggested me the Vf8 or the 14D weight on those are 30lbs. Thanks for your advise. Stay safe Blessings🙏🏼
Sweet video Hsiang. Definitely something I can send anyone interested in EUC :) #filthycasuals
Thank you!
The highest speed listed that I e seen is 45 mph and it is not recommended to ride at top speed.
Manufacturer typically don’t list top speed since it depends on a slew of factors like battery percentage and rider size and weight. A veteran Sherman has been proven to be able to hit 50mph with a regular sized (round 200lbs) rider
Thanks so much for the video Hsiang!! Super informative as usual!! If anyone is interested, i have also made a video with 10 things to know before you buy an electric unicycle! I'm not as wise or engaging as Hsiang, but I would love if you checked it out! Keep making sweet content man!!
Thank you! Keep it up as more content there are the more the community will grow!
@@OWGAC BTW, how do you pronounce your name? Just out of curiosity...
Not sure if you're being cocky but that headgear you got looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
I talked about why I wear that helmet on a few occasion, but the short of it is that being able to easily look behind my shoulder to make sure that a car isn’t about to run me over is super important in NYC. This may not make sense when it comes to how you ride in your area but for me the blind spots created by a full face helmet didn’t work for me.
Another draw back is foot pain.
I've been riding for 3 years now, and I still get pain in my feet from this sport.
Getting pads actually helped, since I am spreading out some weight between the pads and the foot pedal. may be try that if you haven't?
I certainly have them.
They do help.
I hated the Segway. But I can get behind these!
Makes riding a unicycle seem unnecessary!
PS I do feel compelled to say, "CHEATERS!" Try EARNING those rides by learning proper unicycle first. Totally unfair!!!
LOL, I never ridden an manual unicycle before but Da told me its a crazy workout!
