It took me several months and giving up twice but I finally learned to ride seated. I'm a big dude 6ft2 260 pounds I thought it just wasn't in the cards for me I thought I wasn't agile enough but one step at a time I got there. I gorilla taped another pad to my lynx seat that came from ewheels that extra couple inches really helped. It's too much to explain on a YT comment but don't give up or get discouraged.
I'm starting to get fairly comfortable seated. I still won't do it in traffic though. I also keep one hand on the handle. I'm getting there. I really want to be comfortable seated because it's almost always a small but steady wind blowing where I live since I'm near the beach.
Super Straight back and chest out when braking and brake hard, and the wobbles will not happen on that wheel. I'm coming up on 2000 miles on my Lynx and it has been flawless. I lowered the pedals and installed E-rides pedals, huge improvement. Installed EUC Clubhouse oversized jump pads, big improvement. Removed the kickstand and trimmed the rear fender with a Dremel tool. And installed the Shinko 244 tire. It's dialed! If you get a speed wobble when going fast, carve and accelerate and it will stop immediately. It's just kind of scary and counterintuitive. When learning how to ride seated be sure to keep your weight distributed across your heels and the balls of your feet, go bowlegged, rather than only bending your knees going down with all of your weight on the balls of your feet, and the wheel will not wobble. Then grab the front handle and just sit down. You want to practice this at close to 20 miles an hour and not at a slow speed. Have fun! I'm almost 60 years old and it is the funnest damn toy I have ever had on my life. All my friends think I'm nuts!
@@boblatkey7160 definitely time on the wheel gets rid of wobbles. I started with a lot of brake wobbles, but now I rarely get them. I'm about 1000 miles in.
I don’t know anything really I’ve never tried one but I see some of the good riders are always “carving” from side to side like skiing, even when they are on a straight road! They grab the bar with one hand before they sit. I think you guys make it look so much easier than it is, looks so fun tho ❤
Carving helps stability a lot I learned. I'm just starting to really learn seated riding. It was the transition from standing to seated that was hard for me. Once you're seated, it's not bad. You feel really stable. And YES it's a blast. I rarely drive anymore. I ride every chance I get. It's very therapeutic once you get over the initial anxiety. You see places you usually just drive past with out even notice, you meet all types of people. If you ever get the chance, try it!
@@Ghostman_fpv This comment was 2 weeks ago I already bought my wheel now haha 😅 I just got InMotion V8S to start with, I know my first wheel is to learn and it gonna get bashed around. It’s so hard to ride but I’m gonna keep trying 💪🏼
@@ineedue lol yeah I know. I don't get a chance to check my comments very often with my job and a 1 Year old. Basically my first wheel was the V8S. I say basically because I started with a v5 and I outgrew that in days lol. So I bought the V8S . I actually still have my V8S. I keep it in the truck of my car in case I park somewhere far from where I have to go, also I usually ride it on to lunch. You'll get the hang of it. You have the perfect wheel to learn with. I bought the Lynx after getting comfortable on the V8S. Just make sure you wear your gear. Even at V8S speeds , you can get hurt.. ask me how I know 😆
Just found your channel. Nice video!🔥🔥 I have a OG Sherman and I Love it so I can only imagine how good the LYNX feels on the road I'm not sure what tire pressure you're riding at but you can always try lowering it a bit. This can help reduce getting wobbles.
Thanks for watching! I'm now at 30psi plus I installed Grizzla pads. Wobbles are pretty rare now . Even when I get them , it's minimal. The Lynx is a great all around wheel. I know the ET Max is fast and the v14 is probably better off road but the Lynx is very good in all those areas. I'm not a super hardcore off roader but, it does very well and street rides are fantastic! Even on the knobby tire, I get to 50mph without even realizing it. Once I setup the Grizzla pads it became a rocket!
I have the 66lb also. Seems more than enough for me at 215lbs plus my FPV gear is about another 30lbs. Suspension feels fine, no bottom out or anything.
I also put the lowering kit on and I rode it for a few days but I didn't like it so I went back to the original height. I think the lowering kit made the wheel boring and not as nimble.
Yeah, that's what I was told. My hypothesis is that since the Lynx is pretty top heavy, the higher pedals dampens that top weight if that makes sense. Like if you take a pencil or something, pinch it at the bottom and wiggle it around, as opposed to pinching it up near the middle. Pinching it near the middle will make it a bit more difficult to wiggle the top of the pencil. At least that's how I looked at it. But in any case, it made my wheel much more stable. I'm learning that with the Lynx, setup is very important. When you get it right, it's a beast! I hit 50MPH for the first time after changing to stock height.
For seated riding, but lots of foam on the Lynx for a high seat. Transitioning will be fast. First learn to ride seated without transition. Just ride seated.
That is often considered bad advice. It's better to learn transitioning, and learn how to do it slowly so that you don't wobble and you know what you're doing. Just do the transitioning at close to 20 miles an hour and you won't have any problems. Don't do it slow.
@boblatkey7160 I have seen lots videos which started with riding seated and then transitioning. So all these videos gave bad advice? Mostly, I don't think in bad or good. There is just a difference. And not everybody learns the same way.
@@BunnyslippersEUC yes, I personally think it's a terrible way to learn. And a recipe for a crash. You won't crash if you practice while going at least 20 miles an hour. Not once. But otherwise you are absolutely correct! The beauty of the electric unicycle is that so many people will tell you how to do something best, but you will find that a lot of that advice is terrible, and you will find your own way that is best, just for you. There is no correct way. The best way is the way that works for you! Take care and have fun! ❤️
