How to Ride Electric Unicycles - Ultimate Guide!! | evX

Easy to ride, I'm 73 yo and really like the wheel. Been riding a year.

Just got my first wheel. I really appreciate the fact that even thou you've been riding so long, you still take the time to show the newbies 😅👍

who the hell would leave a thumbs down on a helpful video like this, its going to help a lot of people. great job mickey.

I'm getting a v11 soon and wanted to know how driving it worked, looks exactly like I thought it would drive so I was right in my confidence that this will be a vehicle I can learn pretty quick, appreciate the vids you and a few others like wrong way and kuji rolls have made for the EUCs, it really helped me find my start to the game and helped ease my parents' worries

Cool ride. In 7 days I went up and down hills like a pro. By the way, good teaching. I'll use it to teach others.

Best EUC learning video on the web!!! THANK YOU

I agree about the wall being a crutch. I didn’t use it much when initially learning. Now it’s been about 1.5 years but I’m coming from the Segway i2, so some of that muscle memory is applicable. I still need some practice turning. Your turns are sick! 🔥

got a v10 last week , needed this video .. thanks

I'm a novice rider. I've have done a few miles tops. I started in the kitchen hanging onto the cooker and backs of chairs. I managed to ride my NineBot One E+ the 21ft length of the kitchen eventually. Playing skittles with the chairs and furniture. On that point I have covered my wheel in 3M bumper foam - available from eBay, I think its intended to protect furniture. Outside I hung onto something, mounted, then set off along my drive - definite tendency to turn left. I would recommend being on a good surface here. Then into the Cul-de-Sac. Get on hanging onto the fence and set off down the road. Doing 150yd trips now. Practice back at home on mounting - something I still find difficult. Off to the park riding around the local boating lake, anticlockwise because I can manage the left turns. Off to the park riding around the local boating lake, clockwise more difficult right turns. I can ride straight now (concentrating), but time to improve those turns, back to the cul-de-sac weaving left and right of the center line as I go. I guess that's where I'm at. What I have learnt, wear the safety gear because you will fall off a lot. Check that tyre pressure relentlessly, road surface, wind, gradient, makes a lot of difference. Patience is necessary its going to take many hours of practice to beat this thing, I've found what I can do one day has to be re learnt in the first few minutes of the next day - bummer. The whole thing is tiring so I have only been on this thing 30mins to 1hr at a time. It makes my shins ache especially all that mounting practice. Finally you have to be calm and confident to respond appropriately, too fast (scary and you stiffen up) or too slow (same as too slow on a cycle) will have you off. Final words ensure you are having a good time learning - I don't think I would have the strength of character to persist with this, if it wasn't fun.

I am a noob and I got my first EUC GotWay MSuper X and it was so hard to begin, but then I watch your tutorial it helped me to understand my EUC abit more. I hope I can start to learn riding it soon.

A very solid video and very entertaining ! I'm in the process of teaching my wife currently. She will enjoy the tips about turning. I think a Nikola Plus is in my future ! Thanks

Somewhere in this video you say something about the false split between turning and not turning. This was very helpful (surprisingly) Keep doing what you do, thanks!

Nice tutorial evX. It would have been nice to have something like this back when I first learned to ride.

Helpful tips thanks . Here in UK we have terrible roads and worse paths so finding somewhere to learn might be tricky lol. I'd really like to learn the basics before purchasing a wheel, I can see schools where you hire everythinginc safety gear and have instructors on hand could be a good thing a bit like you do with motorcycle 3 to 5 day courses.

EUC just looks so cool! I can’t wait for my v11

Me and my brother rode our EUCs in Fort Myers Beach Florida all winter. We put on about a thousand miles on our unicycles and most people in Florida have never seen them. People ask us a lot of questions. Roads in Florida are very smooth compared to Our northern home state which tend to be rough.

Great tutorial. I am sure you will be one major reason to my succes in riding. Can’t wait to get my first wheel INMOTION V10F. Now go away Corona and let my new wheel arrieve please

Excellent tutorial , I bought the KingSong16X amazing wheel, I tried to ride a Mxs I think & when I was about to do the turn I fell down & kissed the ground. I sprained my elbow & I was not able to grab & handle the weight on my Ks16x as it weights 50lbs. Unfortunately I sold it. Now I'm trying to get a lighter wheel but I'm undecided between the IVf8 or the Ks D14 the both around 30lbs , The IVf I thing is two pounds more. Your turning skills are excellent & easy to learn. Thank you so much for taking your precious time to guide us. Your help is so much appreciated🥰🥰

For me I ended up finding an empty soccer field and used the goal post as a launch point. After 40 minutes I was toast but learned to start, stop, and go a few hundred meters. Got home, drank a few beers while grilling, hopped back on between flipping the meats, and was riding laps around the block. I think the learning on grass (in my case very bumpy grass) protected the wheel and sped up the learning process. I got the v12 ht for my 40th birthday... I'm highly impressed with it! Still working on those tight smooth turns though! You make it look easy.

Great video! Took me 20 minutes and I was turning around and cruising around the park. Thank you!

I just ordered an inmotion v8f for my first wheel as it appears to be near the top of the market for the price range and be rather beginner friendly. I was a little nervous about the difficulty level, but the way you broke it down I definitely think I can be riding it in about 30-45 minutes. I’m looking forward to trying this out!

This video was so helpful on just getting me going! Thanks!!

Great video. Thank you. Learned going straight on V8 last September with turning begun before stopping for weather in Toronto. Plan to resume with S18 this summer with your turning tips!

Nice tips. I wish the guy in Vegas that let me test one had told me some of these tips. Mine is coming tomorrow. A Veteran Patton. Very exited.

Just got my first wheel and learning. Videos like this is so critical, thank you. You are exactly right in the wall becoming a crutch. I kept trying to grab on to the fence I was next to, often to the detriment of my balance.

I received my S16 today and was riding it around the block within 30 minutes. That half moon thing and the big one foot steps was all it took. Thank you!!! I did have to tape some extra foam padding on each side of the wheel to ease the pain of the wheel pressing against my leg with so much pressure at the beginning. Sore ankles right now, but worth it.

Commented way too soon kept on thinking the duff man was going to photo bomb you! But no! And I did love the video. I ride but like watching a lot of the electric unicycle RU-vidrs you’re on my list!

Dude stay indoors. We still want you around. Edit: make a “cooking with mick” episode.

Thanks for explaining the difference between the modes! Very useful to know.

Hi i just ordered my unicycle and your videos have inspired me to get on it i have soon a ninebot Thursday thanks you

My King Song 18XL should be delivered today; my safety gear arrived yesterday. Your beginner tutorial explains the steps very well, for that I thank you. If all goes well I plan to upgrade to the KS S20 Eagle mid 2022.

Evx, your tips on turning helped me immensely! Thank you!

Thanks! Great tips. I have my KS18XL set to ‘hard’ and don’t feel I can get the power down as I’d like to. I’ll now switch to ‘soft’.

Thanks a bunch!!! I am not sure how I would be riding this thing if it weren't for your tutorial video. 👍

Your videos are great. I learned to ride the wheel a bit differently, most importantly I skipped the step where I learned to glide on my dominant foot. I just learned to sort of hop on. The problem with "my" approach is that early on, I could not adjust my position on the pedals in case I didn't hop on exactly right. This means a lot of extra fatigue in the legs. Anyways, keep up the good work! 😊✌

Thanks a lot for this man. I just bought a used Sherman OG. It is my first time riding a EUC. Oh man I thought it would be easier due to being a onewheeler. Thought wrong

This video is super helpful. Just learning to ride the KingSong today in NYC. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

I'm about to start learning. Just waiting for my wheel. Thanks for the great tutorial. Can wait to get cruising :)

I'm 6'2" with 14"shoes, trying to get started on the inmotion v5. It's no joke.

This has been super helpful. Thanks a bunch!!

Ah thanks so much for the tips! Definitely some gold nuggets to keep in mind, much appreciated!

Great video. Thanks for taking the time. I spent most of the day on my new KS 18XL and went back to this video many times.

I'm gonna run some of these drills this morning. This is a great video. Thumbing this video down just shows how much brainless negativity exists these days.

What a great video!!! Very good content and excellent production. You're Peter McKinnon of EUCs😉

I first watched this video like months ago when I first started learning about EUCs. I just came back cause I got my first wheel yesterday, the 18XL. I'm having a ridiculously hard time mounting and dismounting. Feels like when I dismount my wheel spins out, and when I mount my wheel is mega wobbly. After rewatching the video, I need to practice the step where you ride like a couple feet on one foot. I forgot you recommended that, I think it'll help a lootttttttt. I managed to cross a parking lot like 3 times today, it's so exhilarating, I can't wait till I can make it look easy lol

Nice video, especially the calm and relaxed approach which seemed to feed of the quiet suburb vibe of they area you were filming in. Every tutorial I've watched has a few things that I think are essential for understanding the physics of an EUC, but I also saw an regular skateboard tutorial once that had similar advice about the one foot push and glide concept which helped it click for me. (of course that remains to be seen when I actually try to ride one.)

Nice video 👍 Lots of great info for new riders

20:00 Nice most people dont mention this. This is i think the most important part to learn. Cuz these (ill call them) "powerturns" are import not only for tight turns but also for balance or when you want to stand still for a short period of time while not having to dismount. Very nice guide evX! Eventually you wont look as nerdy. Looool.

Excellent video! Thank-you!!

Love your editing man, it makes me wanna work harder on mine. Thanks bro!

Good point touching on the leaning into the fall bit, not enough videos covering how to drive to very slow such as if you end up in a situation where you are among a bunch of pedestrians. Learning how to dismount is never touched on either, it's like here how you slow down but then it ends there, more videos should cover reducing speed dealing with driving slow , twist right/left and then where and how to dismount

Thanks for the great tutorial. I’m sure it’ll help me no end when I get my wheel 👏

Finding the confidence to ride it is the biggest obstacle, you're afraid to get going because of the chances of falling over. Just got my first EUC, the Gotway RS/HT. I didn't get very far, it was heavy so it really wanted to fall on it,s and also the first location I had in mind didn,t work out. A sidewalk with only some light poles as well as the woods nearby. I will take your advice as well as get a better location tomorrow with a nice long wall beside me. Also, I should calibrate it to make it easier for me to move forward. Takes everyone a different amount of time to learn the EUC, right? Also a funny side note, the Gotway beep is pretty loud, when I got it and turned it on once, people I live with already got triggered by that one (first time) loud turn-on beep.

> You'll always look like a nerd on an EUC Me: Progressively starts looking more and more like a Motocross racer.

Great vid! Nice to see you out and just enjoying cruising. :) Must be a nice change of scenery.

Great video. Thanks. I have been trying a few different techniques for turning. I have settled with lifting my heel and decreasing the pressure on the peddle on the inside of the turn and on the outside peddle, bend my knee slightly and use it to tilt into the turn and transferring weight to the outside (peddle). The theory being, if my inside peddle hits the ground, the peddle can deflect up absorbing the shock through the movement on my ankle.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

“You’ll always look like a nerd on one of these” ahah I’m subbed. I’ve liked a few of your other vids but that got me to check and make sure I subbed.

sick channel, man! Thanks so much for the content, i'm ripping through your vids trying to learn as much as poss before jumping into this uber cool hobby/futuristic mode of transport!

Thanks for the inspiration.

THANK YOU.

Love the original Miami Vice reference. Wish you lived closer.

This video helped me get off the wall. It was definitely a crutch for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was able to go about 100 ft without assistance.

Nice detailed tutorial.

Thanks for this video man!

Thanks to you I can Now ride an EUC TY

Really helpfull guide Mickey , Thank you and Hi from France

Excellent tutorial! Could you please make a short video on how to dismount? Thanks matey! 🥇

Very good video thanks 👍

I think if prices came down it will be big success , we can reduce our dependence on uber , ola , didi

I have a KingSong 18XL and I was starting to worry that I'd screwed myself because it's just so big and heavy that doing anything with it that isn't supported by the wheel requires more exertion than a smaller wheel would. I'm 3 days in and my legs ache from barely an hour of practice yesterday. I had resigned myself to having to spend a month to get anywhere real. Of particular note, I'd been having trouble with the "spin in place" exercise that other channels mention, where you put one foot in place and ride the unicycle around it. Either my foot had too much grip or not enough, but I just couldn't get it to stay in place while spinning. Then I tried the half-moon exercise you showed, where you just turn the unicycle in a semicircle without moving the planted foot, and it's almost like something clicked, how the unicycle *should* feel when I'm controlling it with one foot. The balance of force to the outside vs. the inside, so it doesn't tip outside but also doesn't fall over. I tried some rolling touch-and-go, and while I can't do a "real" start because I'm stuck in my apartment for the time being, I almost felt something "real" happen on a couple of them... before I had to stop to avoid hitting my computer chair. I already have two hoverboards, and I'm pretty good with those. I had the hoverboard pretty much mastered within an hour of bringing it home the first time, but the unicycle was being elusive. I actually feel like I might be able to ride it "for real" before the end of the week now. After wearing myself out yesterday and getting nowhere, I was expecting to be stuck to the wall for a month or longer.

Wall training or fence rail training is helpful because , it's hard to learn from a perspective of getting on the wheel to only fall off in 2 seconds , so the wall lets you find your balance to build on the mechanics of the body movements.

Great instructional 💪😎

Bonjour Merci pour cette vidéo. Je viens de recevoir ma première roue et cela va m’aider. Je suis en France.

Great tutorial, thank you very much !! I had a Ninebot E+, which I bought new from Speedy feet , and came with a damaged battery, and the told me to continue using it , and on the second and last cut off I broke badly my shoulder , and just now they recognised the problem, and send a new battery on warranty ,But late ,with pain I decided to sell the wheel, still missing it !!

thxxxx for the detailed video

Thabks for your tips !

Thanks for the video. I don't have an EUC yet but will buy on within the next 6 months. One complaint about your video is please moderate the sound. Every time the music cues in I get blasted out after having the volume control maxed to hear you talk.

Another great video ... thanks so much !!

Go down to Florida to get some learning tips from the duffman ! In Florida the No thrills zombie rider! Him self!. Nice

With the wheels that have a handle, what do you think about wrapping a belt or short rope around it, so that when you inevitably fall off (hopefully at slow speed) you can save the wheel from falling over and scratching?

Thanks for the awesome clip mate, some wicked tips and advice. Cheers for sharing. Def subbed 🤟🤟😎

Where dya find that extremely good musoic dude .... great film music for your very professional videos ..

Florida and tx,hardly seen them,I get alot of looking tho

Useful video

Good vid

When I was learning to ride I used a push mower to get me started like a walker 😂

Great video and thanks for the tips. I'm on day 4 of riding my solowheel. I can mount, stop, and turn without issue. I for the life of me can't keep the EUC straight for long periods to save my life. I also get some wobble when getting up to speed. Any tips on keeping it straight? Or what I might need to do to remedy my situation?

Quality vid, thanks!

Awesome 💯

I feel like I'm learning quick 2.week to on my begode a2 and I made it to 15mph got my first beep 😅😅😅can't wait for my big boy lynx

nah bro, this doesn't make you look nerdy. This makes you look like you're some kind of Halo character

Thanks for the tips. Some feedback on your audio if you don't mind. There was a good bit of wind, vehicle noise. Other times your audio would be loud, other hard to hear so I'd turn up the volume. Then you'd cut into drone footage with music which was really loud since my volume was up to hear you. I'm not sure how "Wrong Way" does his YT but his voice is pretty consistent, no wind noise even while on the move. Maybe he uses a remote noise cancellation mic?

EV/x, Tubbs or Crocket? The Miami Vice vibe is cathartic in this crisis. Thanks Mannnn!

I'm learning about Unicycles I'm planning on moving to NYC later this yr. I'm trying to figure out how fast are these things. I will mainly use it to make my money. On deliveries.

I got and Mten4 yesterday, and I'm kinda struggling to learn it ! @.@ I'll watch this video everyday until I do !

THANKS THANKS. THANKS

Idk if I gotta get used to it like riding a onewheel with the muscles used getting used to the motion but I feel the same riding euc. I can do like 10mins and shins fatigue. I had a euc protec sleeve and it bowed my legs out super far I had to remove power pads

Ok here are my 2 euro cents. After learning to ride the Inmotion V5f - Choosing the right shoes is very important. Not only will your ankles thank you, but also your feet. I have got very difficult feet. I cannot ride longer than 5 minutes straight on the V5f. My feet hurt like hell. So I need to walk it off and ride for another 5 minutes again. It's very difficult to control my EUC with my feet hurting. I also have bruises on my lower legs. But I fell only once. - placing your dominant foot the right way on the pedal is very important. Because after standing on the EUC it's difficult to correct the position of your dominant foot. Ideally, you want stand on one leg on the EUC for a few seconds. - To decrease wobbling I push my dominant leg against the EUC. - If you feel the EUC isn't going straight, straighten your back and your hips will automatically stay parallel with the road. And your feet will automatically adjust accordingly. - Buy a cheap EUC to learn on. You will drop it. Even on grass the EUC can fall hard. It's still all plastic. I diy a simple stand for my V5f. And I will eventually diy a sadle from yoga blocks. To lower the stress on my feet.
