Great info for the people learning the big lessons. Also remember, if you’re getting wobbles often and you’ve tried changing your stance, you likely need to reconfigure your pads. Sometimes your pads are forcing your body weight to offset the balance. It took me a while to realize this and once it clicked it made a HUGE difference in my riding.

@JonahHax 3 месяца назад

Rob, you forgot to mention that you can carve while braking by alternating the pressure on your heels. That will also remove brake wobbles.

@WheelGoodTime 3 месяца назад

Funny you mention that - I actually had that in the video but I cut it out. That part felt a bit disjointed in the video, and while I know it's effective for many, I feel like it's a bit less effective. I could be wrong about that, and your mileage may vary, but since I don't use that method personally, I didn't want to recommend a method that I don't use myself.

For braking wobbles, I find sitting my butt "down" more effective than leaning back. Like you said, get your weight behind the wheel rather than above it.

@rcgldr 2 месяца назад

One key exception to using carving to stop wobbles is if riding on a bumpy surface, such as expansion joints on pavement. Bumpy pavement will cycle the load on the tire, which will in turn cycle the lateral load at the contact patch aggravating or inducing wobbles. When riding on bumpy surfaces on non-suspension wheels, bending the knees more so that the legs provide more suspension like response will help prevent wobbles. As for carving in general, I haven't seen any videos of the 50+ mph riders (like Dawn and Roger) doing any carving. I don't know how fast Wrong Way has ridden, but he does suggest squeezing the upper pads to dampen wobbles.

Gr8 vid! 1 more lesson is that for Breaking practice, use "extreme carve" action. And if you can't carve hard enough, wobble-limited breaking. Like I notice going from 50 to 30 without enough hard-carve = wobble induction.

I have the leg/core strength from riding my traditional 36" wheel pedal unicycle to muscle this monolith-of-a-wheel around. For now, I'll be taking it nice and slow over a period of months - and I know with this wheel, the wobbles will return, and I will be ready! It will be looking forward to seeing the brave souls that try the "Master Pro Super!"@@WheelGoodTime

@rcgldr 2 месяца назад

To force heavy EUCs to turn at high speed, the rider has to apply inwards pressure on the outside upper pad with the outside leg. The inside leg doesn't have anything to press against (other than the pedal, which doesn't' provide enough leverage). At high speed a rider has to lean | hang off much more than the EUC is titled, allowing the outside lower leg to pull inwards on the upper pad, (the outside foot also pushes outwards on the outside pedal) to exert an inwards torque on the EUC to force it to tilt inwards. Spiked pedals are used to keep the feet from sliding on the pedals when applying lateral forces on the pedals.

I don't know if it works for other wheels but on my V12HT offroad tire I have learned to have almost zero wobbles using the fundamental heel-toe principle. Sometimes I get some wobbles when making a turn at 30+ mph but only If i forget to use it properly.

@wheelman6964 3 месяца назад

Great advice, thank you. Another way to help counter the gyroscopic effect of big wheels when going into curves is also setting up feet and ankles to help steer the wheel as well as positioning the wheel and body before starting to pull into the curve. Like with motorcycles taking good curves is mostly about setting up everything, angle, body position, aiming for apex before the curve starts. Hope this is useful.

@haroldsmith45302 2 месяца назад

06:20 Letting the vehicle's side repeatedly slap one of my legs is also how I damp out wobbles. In my case, the vehicle is a motorcycle or bicycle - I am not yet an EUC rider, but aspire to be one. I think when the vehicle's side slaps the leg, energy is transferred to the leg and therefore is extracted from the vehicle. This helps to damp out the wobble cycle. Your advice to NOT attempt to stop wobbles by gripping the EUC tightly with both legs is also consistent with my experience on motorcycles and bicycles. I really appreciate how EUC riders share their experiences and tips to help newcomers.

@rcgldr 2 месяца назад

Sport motorcycles since the 1990's are designed to recover from wobbles on their own, and the high end bikes are stable at 185+ mph. In the case of some racing motorcycles where the trail is decreased to reduce the effort it take to steer at high speed, steering dampers (shocks that go from frame to handlebars) are used to stop wobbles. Wobbles generally only occur when the front tire is lifted and lands a bit off track, but the bike will recover from those induced wobbles without the rider having to do anything. A good example of this is Isle of Man TT, run on streets at high speed (200+ mph in some spots), where the front tire or both tires go off the pavement at many spots on the track.

@ricklulu3572 Месяц назад

Try deflating your tire pressure to prevent the speed wobble which is better than to try to get out of one.

Thank you for the video! After somewhat of ~18K km on wheels I have yet to crash because of wobble.

@WheelGoodTime 3 месяца назад

Foot aches are normal. They'll go away with more practice from stronger foot muscles. Also I'd recommend learning how to make small foot adjustments while moving (practice riding at low speed 1-footed) so eventually you can comfortably lift your heel and toe occasionally while moving to give your foot a brief rest.

@kalle5548 3 месяца назад

Had the same thing happen on my Ks 16s when I was starting to learn, at first I could do like 50m before my feet was hurting like crazy. I found that placing the heal further forward would help my feet out, note that it worsens your brakes, so having some small pad at the back is almost necessary if you wanna try that, Cheers

@user-ke9yk5qp3u 3 месяца назад

I switched to a boot that has a more rigid sole primarily to protect my ankles. However I found that a more rigid sole drastically reduces my foot aches. And of course the more time you put in on the wheel the better. I also leave my wheel in the living room and repeatedly practice going across the living room on 1 foot only. And I switch feet doing that. That totally helps when you're riding at speed as it is much easier to adjust your feet and that drastically reduces the pain also as wheel good time had already stated.

@Whizzo333 3 месяца назад

Why does cut out cause instantaneous catastrophic crash instead of freewheeling and giving the rider at least a chance of falling off less catastrophic like ......? Thx

@WheelGoodTime 3 месяца назад

That's just how EUCs work - even when an EUC isn't moving, it's using the motor's power to stay upright. When you are moving, it has to work harder to stay upright - using 50% of the motor's power capacity, for example. If you keep pushing it REALLY hard, you'll exceed the motor's ability to stay upright and it physically can't work any harder, then it cuts out. I hope that made sense, does it answer your question?

@rcgldr 2 месяца назад

A cut out occurs normally occurs when a rider is exerting a forwards torque onto the EUC (which equals the forwards torque the motor exerts onto the wheel+tire) to maintain speed. This coexists with the EUC exerting a backwards torque onto the EUC rider. The result of this is the rider has to lean further forwards since the lean has to compensate for both the acceleration and the torque involved. If there is a cutout, the EUC instantly stops exerting that backwards torque that was supporting the rider, and the rider is instantly falling forwards.

@WalrusHal 3 месяца назад

I don't yet have an EUC, so I'm still in the waiting and watching stage. At the very end of the video you said "You wanna know one last cheat-code that basically never wobble again?" "Ride seated." Given that wobbles occur when riding while standing, how does riding seated eliminate them?

@WheelGoodTime 3 месяца назад

That's a great question. Here's the answer: I dunno 😂 it may have to do with the lower center of gravity, or the fact that more of your body mass is touching (and applying pressure to) the wheel. That's my guess anyway - seems logical 🤔 but I've never met anyone who has ever had scary wobbles while riding seated. 😊

@maukaman 3 месяца назад

I assume it’s because you aren’t connected to the wheel with your elastic legs so oscillations don’t have anywhere to propagate. I don’t ride seated often but I’m sure with the right seated position on the right wheel speed wobbles would likely never happen, which is cool because even motorcycles can get speed wobbles.

@pacochawa2746 3 месяца назад

That leaning to turn was addressed by fort9. Leaning does nothing for turning. At least with motorcycles putting the tire on an angle is what causes to turn. We don't have counter steer but putting the tire on an angle is the most effective way. I'm thinking for euca pushing down on the pedal is our best bet. When I do slow maneuvers the counter lean and pressing on the pedals gives me the most control. I don't know about high speed cornering. The lean maybe helps us stay on the wheel but fort9 explained that when the tire is on the side the cone effect is the most force dealing with turning. Turn the tire into a cone and it has to turn. On motorcycles you can lean and still go straight. Thus wasting energy for minimal results. Can any high speed riders give feed back? I'm thinking shifting weight on pedals would be more efficient yet I have only gone 31 miles top speed so far. Or is throwing your weight into the wheel what is leaning the wheel? This is a good topic.

@WheelGoodTime 3 месяца назад

The way to counteract the strong gyroscopic force (keeping it both upright and therefore going straight) is to tilt the wheel as you suggested. However you're unable to do that nearly as easily as you can with smaller EUCs. So your only choice is to use your inside leg to press firmly in the intended direction and use your body weight to force the wheel to tilt. Pressing on the pedals can help, but you won't be able to exert the necessary force to turn/carve at 35+ mph on a Master Pro using pedal pressure alone - it's a bit of a unique animal.

@kwk8363 3 месяца назад

You can 100% do counter steering. There are 2 ways to do that. 1st when you lean to the side, push front pad that is on the inside of corner (same as you would do that when accelerating). Push only 1 side 2nd move your calf that is on the opposite side of a turn to the back (point of pressure have to be further back then wheel axel) and leverage wheel that way You can try to mix both for better result. It's better to have.... how to say it... Long? Wheel body in that case

Good educational video but not entirly true. The real way to prevent wobbles is accelerate with your ''toes'', lifting your ''heel'', and vice versa for braking. That's why braking in seat down stance helps prevent wobbles because some people accidentally lift their toes when braking in that stance. The core idea is reducing the size of contact/pressure point on the pedals when accelerating/braking.
