Who Wins OFF-ROAD? Onewheel vs EUC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- I explore a beautiful mountain trail on my KingSong 16S during the autumn season to check out the leaves and their changing colors. I compare this ride to a ride I took almost one year before on my Onewheel XR. During this ride I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the EUC to the Onewheel XR when it comes to off-road trails.

That darn Jimmy! Back when he first got the EUC I gave him a hard time about the Onewheel being better. But I stuck with learning the EUC and now I can go in a straight line for a good distance, am slowly getting the hang of turning and hopefully will soon be able to get on it without leaning against something. And guess what? They’re different beasts but both are really, really fun. Darn you’re calm, cool, rational demeanor Jimmy Chang!!!!
Keep it up James!
We just got a Onewheel and now you made us want an EUC!
*It took my, very agile, grandson a few days, but he is doing great. Great for balance Unicycle **Latest.Bike** and coordination. He likes it alot.*
Very fascinating how things evolved over the year.
I'm an avid Onewheeler that just bought his first EUC (Begode Master). This thing opened up everything that the Onewheel was struggling on or flat out couldn't do. While I totally prefer the riding stance and nimbleness of the OW, I'll have to say that by now (end of 2022), offroad capability switched in favour of EUC. Some of them are nearly Uni-Motocross by now. Really curious to see how this evolves in the future, while FM is stuck playing alone.
Maybe you could make an updated video comparing how it changed with the newer models? The GT vs some newer EUC could give a nice update.
I watched it to the end. As part of the Oak City OneWheel group in Raleigh we do ride on dirt trails often. We frequently have EUC riders join us. We have total respect for them on the trails. They outperform the OneWheel is the may aspects you pointed out. I believe EUCs are the future of electric off-road rideables.
Both are awesome!
Like you said, as long as people are getting outside and feeling the stoke 🤙
Love the update portion of the video! The growth is amazing. Love it.
I adore that you're learning from and paying your kids - that is awesome. You rock.
Family business. My son looks enough like me that he'll be able to take over the channel when I'm too old and frail to ride!😁
Another great video, Jimmy. I started watching your video awhile back when I saw you riding an EUC since I have been an EUCer since 2015. I have always liked your organized, thorough approach to explaining things. You hit the nail on the head why the EUC is perfect for off road. Your video definitely has a newer feel and all for the better. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Adam. I appreciate the super!
Great two videos in one Jimmy! If I could like it twice, I would.m. Great off-roading footage and information on the EUC . As you know I like riding my Onewheel off-road and I had an interest in EUC's and it's been growing more more partly because of you. So it's good to see What they could do off-road and I appreciate the information comparing the two. On the second part of your video congratulations on growing your channel, and its been great to watch. I have a suggestion. For your 10,000 subscribers celebration throw out a general invite for everyone who's been in any of your videos, hint, hint to all meet up somewhere and celebrate with you on a ride. I especially like the idea of encouraging your kids to help you by paying them. Hopefully something like that will work with mine, LOL.
Anyone that says a One Wheel is better at off road than an EUC has been living under a rock.
for sure.. watching any of chooch's off road videos will confirm the EUC is a beast
I have both I love the onewheel its beautiful feeling riding one like your floating on a tyre. The EUC is tricky but gives real feel of freedom and exhilation.
You’re incredibly humble, yet your videos are very detailed and very informative! Thank you, wishing your channel much more views and many more active subscribers 😎
I always love the channel and how it has grown quite a bit definitely appreciating it it’s a big part of my relaxing in the evening I don’t really watch TV and watch you guys thank you! Love the one wheel XR! But I have three electric unicycle’s now! Incredible
Nice collection! Thanks for the support!
I bought my first XR because of you. I'm in love with it. Did my first nosedive already, didn't follow your rules :(. Not giving it up. Thank you, this is life changing for someone like me.
Sweet! Keep riding and be safe!
Bend your knees, and push down with your knee to go fast. I'm guessing when you nosedived you leaned with nearly all your body weight forward? The board can only support so much weight. Especially if you happen to be heavier set
You are awesome bro real genuine and informative in all your videos I feel like we friends talking keep it up 🤙🏼🤙🏼
It's an emovement family!
Appreciate all you do. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support, Tyler.
i love how respectful you are to everyone!!!!!!
I love how you film and your narration 👌🏽🤙🏽
Great video as always Jimmy! I've definitely noticed a steady increase in the production value of your content. Looking forward to the next one! By the way you were one of the main reasons why I bought my Onewheel a few weeks ago. Cheers!
Thanks for the support!
I have definitely noticed the improvement. I like that you are expanding in ridables. I came for the OneWheel content but I am starting to lean the EUC route.
Thanks for the support, Daniel.
Onewheel for lifeeeee
Happens to a lot of us...
Hello Jimmy,
I ordered my KS 16S thru your affiliate store. Thanks for all the videos ! I look forward to learning how to ride.
Have fun! It's going to be a challenge, but worth it when it clicks.
I have the ks 16s and it’s amazing
wow i didn't realise your channel had got soooo many subs so quickly nice one well done and deserved, glad to see you wearing your full face helmet , cheers ing-eee
Hey Jimmy Colorado native, I've been watching your channel since you opened it thanks for the video today that was awesome information that I now know. For the 10,000 thing! I think a giveaway wood be good keep me in mind lol, and keep on skating the road.
Thanks for the support!
You and Adam Savage are the reason that I got my onewheel pint. I am loving it! I have never done board sports and your videos really helped me feel comfortable starting out! I took a lot of your tips and tricks to heart. I look forward to the growth on this channel! If you are ever in Portland, Oregon I'd love to go for a ride!
An honor to be mentioned alongside Adam Savage! Be safe and have fun!
@@freshlycharged what do you suggest for recording while riding? As far camera or whatever else is required.
@@sebastiancroft4918 see video description for what I use.
Thanks for channel update.
I think your channel is amazing and i will buy an electronic skateboard soon, i love the wau your videos give depth to this subject.
Hey, Mr. Chang I've got an idea for a video. Could you test the effect of speed on downhill regeneration? You seem to have some great long hills to work with. I'm guessing for a given slope, there is a "sweet spot" where you will get the most regeneration. Faster than that and the wind resistance will take most of your energy. Thanks for the great videos.
Dear Jimmy Chang! Great videos. Enjoyed your this video and some others too. Very clear and informative, and also enjoyable with the views and scenery of Colorado too!
Since you gave a candid talk/update at the end, I rewatched your video. Two thoughts I too wish to share hopefully as useful feedback:
1 - With headphones on, the music sounds louder than the narration. Must be the way the headphones process music vs voice.
Perhaps, you should check the loudness of music vs narration on headphones too, and not just on the Mac.
That is the best feedback I can give you. And thanks for the candid chat at the end.
2 - Optional: with more views and hopefully revenues, think of getting a drone as well, esp. given the Colorado views.
+ Great that you are paying the kids!
Hopefully, others also find your videos informative and also entertaining into the future! Good luck!
Jimmy, I dig when you speed ramp when you moved the camera in front or behind you. I'm a video editor so I love those little touches 😁
1100 miles on the OneWheel, but I gotta try a EUC sometime!
Thanks Corey
There seems to be so much debate about EUC's vs the Onewheel. Ride what you like best, it's that simple. It doesn't have to be either/or. I have both the Kingsong and a Onewheel, and I would choose the Onewheel 10/10. It's just how it rides and feels so much better than the EUC. It's just personal preference and choice. I'm actually going to sell the EUC and keep the Onewheel. Either way, just enjoy which ever ride you like the most and have a blast out there.
It's good that there is a suitable device for everyone! Top Video👍
Thanks Markus! We all win, no matter what you ride.
Great video!
Regarding riding slowly and standing in place - once your leg muscles and balance allow you to ride with one leg on the EUC, the EUC may actually have the advantage. You can easily step on and off the EUC while keeping one leg on the EUC. Placing one foot on the ground allows you to relax the pressure on your feet & legs while still allowing you to ride & control the EUC with the other foot.
I tried to point this out earlier, and it's true, even better, my monster has a seat, so when I'm idling I get somewhere to take a rest. without having to awkwardly half step off
Great tip.
Editing looks great 🤙
Thanks Kevin! How's the Tesla?
Loving it, ev is the future for sure 🤙
Now you’re close to 20k members!
Hey Jimmy, great video. After watching a bunch of your videos I am going to go for a EUC. Question, what is clean up like on a EUC? Since the whole thing is basically a tight fender how do you get in there and clean after off roading. Worse, if you ride around in mud. Can you just hose it out without damaging anything? Thanks. And keep up the awesome videos.
Great video (again)! And good music to speech loudness.
Thanks! Still trying to figure out that happy place for sound. It sounded great on my Mac but on the TV and my phone it was off so I had to redo it. Guess I'll have to check it like that in the future.

@@shabinthegreat thanks for the feedback. I think I do a better job with my more recent videos.
I teach video production in Aurora, and I think you're doing a great job on your videos. I use them as examples in my classes, and the students love to learn about the Onewheel. (My web design students just finished promotional sites for the Pint and Onewheel XR. We have also been doing a lot of projects that are focused on Tesla vehicles.)
I need to take your class!
Yeah buddy! Hey, I'd gotten to 28th on the daily streak. Sadly, I missed a day and back to the bottom. Oh well, it'll be just as fun getting back there and beyond.
Go get it!
Pint or XR?
Your stuff is fun!
I'm currently looking into getting a onewheel so this is reassuring
It's pretty awesome
Oh god that first frame is beautiful with the birches.
Primary purpose makes choice easier. I walk up/down stairs at least twice a trip. I carry groceries and the trolley handle can help carry. I also drive up and down drive ways to get away from traffic. Im old so i limit my speed to 15mph. Cause i don't bounce like i use to. I like this type of equipment but what works for me isn't the same as what works for you. Follow the fun!
Beautiful trail!
Suprised actually. I own a OWXR in The Netherlands. Was not aware that the EUC was so usable off road. Still, i will stick to my owxr for now. Have 200km on it an years of learning and fun ahead. Thanks for the video!
200km !!!! Wow! Keep it up!
David Holstvoogd Klopt. In Heemskerk bij Voltes nieuw gekocht. Echt superleuk om te doen. Heb je al eens op een onewheel gereden? En ga je voor de pint of xr?
David Holstvoogd ik heb de xr. Ook de pint geprobeerd maar die vind ik te wiebelig. Range is ook beter en ik weeg 95 dus dan is dat wel handig. Als je wil mag je best eens proberen hoor. Hangt een beetje af van waar je woont,om makkelijk af te kunnen spreken. Ik woon in purmerend. Ben nu eerst op vakantie maar daarna zou kunnen. Maar beter is als je naar heemskerk gaat en zowel de pint als de xr probeert. Dan kun je het verschil merken.
I'm glad you brought up the subject of peddle clipping/nose diving. Maybe you covered it, but which in your opinion is the more escapable situation? I feel like in the case of a nose dive you're riding in the "cool" side ways stance which might make it difficult to recover from, but chances are if you're nose diving I'd think you're already aware you're pushing the Onewheel too hard and might be prepared. On the EUC I feel like you have a forward stance so if you clip a peddle on a large rock you might be able to maintain your footing at a running speed, but you're less prepared because you might not consider it to be a threat.
Also that new camera looks great, While I've never used Epidemic I know a lot of big channels use it (which might be double edged because you get better music but on the other hand you'll sound like _those_ channels instead of ones using the free RUclips tracks.😄)
Nosedives come out of nowhere. I've had nosedives 80% charge, flat ground, going 10-13 miles per hour and it hurt. Never found out what caused it. You can nosedive going uphill, low battery, overcharge, going too fast, or just mechanical error. I think nosedives are more unpredictable and tend to throw you into the ground. Pedal clipping comes when you aren't paying attention and your pedal hits a rock, root, curb, etc. If you are going fast, that is hard to recover from because it can twist you as you are thrown forward, but it doesn't slam you down into the ground like a nosedive. I've had a few pedal clips, but I'm never going very fast and I've been able to run it out. I have yet to shed blood because of my EUC. Can't say the same about the OW.
I’m very good at off-roading. I can give Chooch a run for his money. In short, both devices come with limitations. What is tricky about the EUC is that it is vastly superior in every metric of performance, but still falls flat because of physics once you reach a certain level of skill. Nothing beats a mountain bike or your automated version of choice. Elevated pedals, actual grip to the device, terrain grip, mechanical brakes. Nothing on one wheel and without something to hold on to beats this. So the metric you should compare between is “fun factor”, and I’d argue ruggedness unless you have a sea of time and money to keep everything in good working order.
I think the electric unicycle would be better if the wheel diameter was about 50% bigger. Bigger wheels are better for rough ground. Add a fender and an a couple inches of padding on top of it to protect the jewels. Lots more room for more batteries too.
You get that
Nice video man! Quality has definitely improved. Great stuff!
I totally agree with you Jimmy! The 18"+ EUCs would smoke any Onewheel off-road or on-road. As long as you have fun it doesn't matter what you ride. I think it is great you have made your channel a family business. I don't necessarily subscribe to folks just because of subject matter. I really like the creators that have a real passion about what they enjoy. Go Jimmy and fam!
Thanks Robert. It's been fun making videos and helping people be safe and make educated decisions. Appreciate your support.
Robert Fontanosa nah
I cant wait to get good enough on my EUC to try it offroad too! Congrats on the M50, I got one of those last year too! Not sure what lens you are using but I got the Sigma 16mm F1.4 and have been loving it (the little I have used it lol).
Bring the frugal man I am, I got some open box special that came with some stock lens. If like to get something else for a more cinematic effect but haven't had much time to research that stuff or look into deals. What do you like about the sigma 16 millimeter lens?
Jimmy Chang just the background blur. That was basically the only reason I picked up the M50 and I kept struggling to find a lens with a good focal length that will blur the background.
I've been skateboarding for 15 years and I still will always pick EUC
The EUCs are better at almost everything. But what about beach riding? Surely the Onewheel must at least has an advantage at the beach. Can EUC even ride on sand?
I think it is time to invest in an inverter so you can charge up your toys from the car.
Dirt simple, for either device. been doing it for years with my e bikes and my Prius.
You are a bad influence on me. lol Any plans on reviewing or trying out the LECTRIC XP E-bike (or any ebike for that matter). Looking for your thoughts on that. I get my EUC sometime next week, I can't wait! Ride on brotha!
and to add to my comment, out of Onewheels and EUC, which one is more prone to having an accident on , on certain type of terrain and pavement? For example, i had a spill on my onewheel a couple days ago going over uneven broken sidewalk, and also over roots on a dirt trail. Would a EUC have issue going over that too?
I feel like this was just a comparison of OW and EUC not specific to off roading. The real question is, how often do you need to get off the board during a ride for each one? The narrow tire on the EUC feels like a disadvantage in that regard, more liable to get stuck in loose dirt and with larger rocks could tip you over (please note I do not ride EUC so could be wrong) where the wider wheel on a OW at least in my experience gives me confidence going over most anything, on the other end of the spectrum the EUC absolutely takes the cake for trails with large elevation gain, no shot im getting up a 20% grade with that risk of a nosedive.
Jimmy, have you taken this trail with the Inmotion V11? Now that EUCs have suspensions, an updated commentary would be great :)
Dang now I have to add a EUC to my stable!
I'd like to get an XR so I can go on longer rides, but I'm content with my Pint because it's perfect for school and walking my dog.
My cousin has a pint and it goes farther than my xr with a cbxr install. Theres two add ons you can do together that give it more range and still cheaper than a stock xr before I even added the 700 dollar battery. He added this external battery that goes on top next to the fender on both sides, and it actually ads stability cause you can grip it with your feet at a wider stance than just a fender and then add the Quart battery too! Two adds for crazy range and way cheaper. The only downside is the pint pushback. It makes me want one tho and I have four XR's
@@DirtSickle1 why not just put a vnr on the xr
Thanks!
Of course! Thank you!
Thanks for these videos, Jimmy. After 1,000 miles, I just put a treaded tire on my Pint to complement my VnR battery, so I’m ready for bigger challenges.
Go out there and crush it!
Great vid
Share DNA, but One Wheel is the poor cousin 😁
Cheers
Actually, the Onewheel is like the less talented cousin who got bad grades in school but makes more money than all the cousins who are more skilled and capable.
Do you think that for riding with a heavy backpack, peals in monocycles should be lower to ride off road? The lower, the better to maintain stability and riding without a backpack is easy for everyone, and with a backpack 20-30kg hard to get on. I am looking for monocycles for off road backpacking off the tourist trail, not the forest trail. What are your suggestions?
Nice!
Haven't checked if you done this yet but made make a video about how you maintain it? The wheel looks very dirty so I'm curious about how you keep it all clean or if it's just a wipe down
I live in Louisiana. Lot of potholes and stuff. What EUC would you recommend for my first EUC? Preferably one I can grow into. Not a lot of hills. Bumpy roads and potholes.
Any suggestions for a good first wheel for someone 25 interested and on a budget? I want a one wheel but the limitations and the price make getting a EUC a no brainer
its like skiing vs snowboarding
EUC is just plain dorky !
Onewheel is way cooler in terms of style and flow.. You can surf up berms etc .. no comparison..
ECU is like a mono ski lol
Green goblin vs the silver surfer. I have a EUC though.
great vid, what's the band playing the bluegrass tune?
If onewheel didn't win you didn't practice enough, if you can stay on it, one wheel can ride it ;)
To celebrate 10K subs, do a 2 hour LIVE question and answer video.
Good suggestion!
@jimmychang I don't know if you go back through old videos and answer questions but I was wondering what the difference between EUCs and OneWheels in regards to foot fatigue?
You get foot fatigue on both but more so on the Onewheel.
What if someone integrated a solar panel into the fender of the OW? Would that work??
it might charge you phone in a few hours
Nice tunes
Hey Jimmy, I notice that your thumbnail kind of looks like the Philippine flag. Are you Filipino? Great content as always. 👍
Kamusta ka! ... I'm not, but I ate balut a few times a year growing up. Does that count?
Jimmy.... I think EUCs are great, but I think the main reason they haven’t caught up to OW popularity is that they are all made in China and there is no dealer support network for them... when they cost the same as OW.
Ewheels.com service has been amazing.
@@freshlycharged Would you still recommend the KS 16S as a starter wheel if you had to do it all over again ?
I have 3,000 miles on my OW. It is my favorite thing.I just got an INMOTION V8 thanks to you sparking my interest. I rode it for about a day and now the inside of my calves have bruises and I am unable to ride it. I don't see how I could ever be as comfortable with it as my Onewheel. But we will see! How do you prevent bruising on the inside of you calves where the EUC rides against?
I got that at the beginning too. I thought it was because I have muscular calves 😁 but I really think it's because I was pinning the wheel too hard between my legs. Try relaxing and not pinning so hard except when going on tough terrain or doing drops.
Jimmy Chang ok glad I am not the only one. I was tempted to sell it. The fun factor for me just wasn’t there compared to the onewheel. But I’ll give it some more time. After my bruises heal haha.
@@Zackbrooks737 the curse of having big muscular calves
ShanesPlanet Shane I actually sold it and went back to Onewheel. EUC just not as fun in my opinion. Thank you for the reply!
EUC is better now and improving faster.
Do the unicycles handle mud?
ow for down hill trails and euc for down hill and up hill :)
How about a livestream for 10k subs? Or world tour on a onewheel?
Livestream. Like the idea. World tour... Going to need to be a little bigger for that with a little more funding... 😁
man I would to get one of these and try it off road but its tough to justify when it cant even ride over stuff a 400 hardtail bike can. I would feel really restricted only being able to ride greens and very light blues.
Do EUC work on beach and sand ?
If u get the cybertruck u can charge up ur onewheel anytime
Correct! Big reason in getting it. A portable battery for my devices.
The EUC wins like every time😂
Henry Oudbier i know Euc s are better but I personally think that riding the onewheel looks much cooler
Euc looks dorky af
@@milobrooks8891 ur not wrong
How do you spell that guys channel you mentioned that rides off road
Off road on the EUC? Chooch Tech is the channel.
@@freshlycharged you guys got me hooked...
Good
Next time bring a RockPal portable battery generator when camping so your OneWheels can charge.
Who is the guy that you mentioned for the EUC rides?
didnt see it in the vid description, and dont know him
ruclips.net/video/N0evWj9e7Dc/видео.html
Sorry. Added now.
You're also way less geared up on the ow so that says a lot when it comes to safety
EUCs are much faster so...
I just saw a video of an EUC exploding in flames while someone was riding it.
If it's the same one I saw that happened recently, the wheel and battery had been modified which greatly increased risk especially if done poorly.
@@freshlycharged The one where it almost caught the tree on fire?
@@drewhjc I remember a bush... But regardless, batteries can catch fire. Phones, hoverboards, laptops, EUCs, Onewheels, Teslas...
I have a one wheel, and one of my friends has an EUC. And the one wheel is so much better at loose terrain being dirt and sand. Its also better at going over big rocks and through water. their is no comparison in the mud, the EUC can't even go near it but my one wheels soars through. Also the one wheel has way more gadgets and features. No offense but the EUC just looks dumb being ridden.
Edit: the one wheel is also way better on leaves. and the snow and ice which I ride on in the winter
Sorry, but any recent EUC, especially suspension EUC will blow away anyone on a OneWheel when it comes to offroad. Most people on a Sherman, S18, Monster, Hero, S22, etc. would literally lap you on any trail of your choice regardless of mud, snow, or leaves.
@@oolong2 speak for yourself, i could shred any onewheel on an mcm
@@Blox117 lol. Well seeing as I have an MCM5 and my first wheel was an MCM2 I would tend to agree. But at least a onewheel with a good rider would have a fighting chance with an MCM offroad whereas with those other wheels it would just be a curb stomping 😆 Although on street I don't know of any EUC currently being made that wouldn't be better. Even an mten.
@@oolong2 have you tried 60psi? mcm is insane at high pressure
@@Blox117 My old mcm was always really squirrely with high pressure. Haven't messed with the pressure too much on the mcm5 though. Most of the time I'm on the S18 these days. Hit a pump track and some mountain bike trails last week and it was sooo much fun.
Yes, watched it all. I guess you are like the newly wed millionaire "does she love me or my money?" You may wonder "do they love me or is it Colorado?" Thanks for the comparison between one wheel and EUC.
There was some Scottish guy that tried to ride a mobility scooter across the US, anyway he put a generator in a trailer so maybe do that
You should get a Hackery to charge while camping
One wheel looks cool. Electric unicycle kind of lame.
Why do you have a one wheel if it’s “not good enough” what’s the purpose of having one?
It's fun for fooling around in the neighborhood or riding with friends.
Come ride in Alaska.
