Onewheel vs EUC Which is Better? 

Yes, the transition to an EUC makes more sense, faster, farther, more versatile... I really wanted to see what all the fuss was over the Onewheel so I got a cheap used one to find out. I love it for more relaxed rides or if I'm going somewhere and I am not sure if I will even ride, but want something in the back of my trunk I can hop on just in case. It is way easier to grab the Onewheel and gear all up and ride it over an EUC. At least the larger heavier faster EUC's.

You can easily throw a euc in the trunk depending on size and weight . I got the ex30 and the v12 and put them both in my suburban no issue .

@@tremartin4727 My S22 EUC weighs in around 80 pounds so not so easy to place in a high trunk as compared to my 25 pound Onewheel but smaller EUC's are for sure manable puttin in a trunk. I also have to factor in all the protective gear I use on an EUC when going for a ride, usually full body gear and motorcycle helmet. With a Onewheel since you usually only go around 20-24 km/h I can get away with wrist guards and a bike helmet. Elbow and knee pads if I feel like it.

Maybe it's just me?

Life is too short not to :)

Yes, was a super newby then, realized after making the video I had the board backwards ;)

Claimed is 20-30 miles, few will actually get 30 miles but still 20 is good for something like this. The GT is the top dog with a hefty price tag but if you are into Onewheeling then you probably want it. Also weighs around 35 pounds.

@@getfitover40 my GT has 1200 miles on it and I still get 27-29 miles per charge.

@@ccwstraightshooter9761 That's awesome , what is your weight and general riding style like?

@@getfitover40 195lbs. Street and trail. I get 29 miles on charge on street. I get around 18 miles on trail. Depends on terrain.

I agree, I actually just sold my OneWheel as I was not using it enough and I have crashed it one to many times for my liking...

I like taking risks....

Yes a better comparison would be an Inmotion V8 which kind of kicks but in terms of specs compared to a Onewheel. That said a Onewheel has it's own appeal and is a different kind of riding experience that you either really appreciate or you don't. I like having them both and pick which one I am going to use depending on what kind of ride I am going on and how I am feeling.

Palm Springs would be an awesome place to ride!

Onewheel is no match speed wise for an EUC when it comes to speed and most other things ;)

Sweet, I am enjoying the relaxed riding on my Onewheel for shorter slower trips.

@@getfitover40 the Sherman S has replaced my car for the daily commute. I live Norco CA, and commute to Costa Mesa apx 35mi each way 3-4 times a week. 7am traffic it's a 1hr 45min drive but using the bike paths with the monster pro under 45mins 55mins on the SS

@@ZoeyR86 Great way to utilize and EUC and shave time and cost. Wish we had better weather year round where I live.

@getfitover40 I definitely do have solid weather in California but honestly most euc will work just fine in rain and snow

@@ZoeyR86 Yes a bit of rain never hurt anyone but not nearly as fun as riding in good weather. When it rains where I live it sometimes doesn't stop for a month.

All true but both have a different ride experience that some may prefer over the other. I like them both but if I could only have one would for sure be the EUC.

@@getfitover40 well sure, I like the feel of longboarding for example but I'm never trying to use it in a practical way.... again.

The Onewheel is limited compared to the EUC in many ways for sure, Speed, Range, Terrain it can be used on, Fun! For sure. More dangerous? Not sure both can be but in different ways. In most riding conditions, if you do not push the Onwheel past its limitations, then you very unlikely to crash on it, if you do crash on a Onewheel being in the side stance, it can turn into more of a cartwheel faceplant rather than a get off. On an EUC a crash tends to be a more controlled dismount. That said crashing on an EUC at 50+km/h is not fun! Most crashes on both of these units will be at lower speeds when riding challenging terrain. In terms of fun both are fun, depends what you want to ride and how far and fast you want to get there. The Onewheel is less of a commitment to ride, throw on a bike helmet and some wrist guards and you're ready to go, supper easy to throw in the back of a car and take with you just in case you want to ride at some point. The EUC requires perhaps more forethought and readiness as I only feel comfortable on it when wearing full protective gear top to bottom. Nothing beats an EUC as to what it can do in terms of diversity.

@@getfitover40 yes exactly, personally, I had a onewheel for 1 year, several crashes on the shoulder due to the position... I then had two Eskate, I much preferred because I love carving and speed . Then as soon as I started the EUC, I immediately sold all that to devote myself to that. I'm on my 5th wheel :)

@@loufugier3481 If I could only have one it would be the EUC, but I am really enjoying the more laid back riding on the Onewheel.

Try going 30mph on an euc in traffic situation and be able to brake on time. Both of these devices suffer from lack of mechanical brakes. I’d probably say the OW does better for sudden need to brake.

Yes it does after a while seem like you are flying on the ground and integrated into the EUC. It does take some time to get to that point but it is very cool.

Just takes a bad one and then it is always in your mind. As I get older I think more about what could happen.

Hi Alex, The EXN has good range for sure especially with the battery upgrade as your has. Onewheel is cool and chill but if I could only have one it would be the EUC.

One is going f to fall just depends how hard.

Yes indeed, lots of fun stuff for sure!

For sure 100% the EUC is the one that is best overall in almost all categories but I still like using the OneWheel for time to time. For example last week I took it with me when my wife and I went downtown and I bought a scooter for her so we could keep things more compact and portable. I find the ONeWheel in DownTown spaces when I do not need to go fast at all or travel too far is really mobile.

In Canada, we switched from imperial to metric when I was in elementary school. So as a country, many people now think in both. It's kind of worked out that most people still use imperial for weight and height. We use km on our road signs but explain distance in miles. The temperature is generally discussed in Celsius unless we are talking about a pools temperature, then we say it in Fahrenheit. The younger generation uses more metric but kind of understand some imperial because their parents use it a lot. Oh ya, we use imperial for most construction as in feet and inches when measuring and even description of lumber, sheets are 4x8 (feet). Studs are generally 2x4s (inches). The funny thing is a 2x4 isn't really 2 inches by 4 inches anymore as they have gotten smaller in diameter over the years and are closer to 1.5x3 now.

Yes would help, I recently bought a camera Drone called the Hover X1. I hope to get some good b roll and main shots using this. I used it in my last video and one coming out soon...

Agreed!

Yes, there is a text overlay saying I was riding it backwards in the video, I had a bit of brain fog at that moment, I get it a lot these days as I am very low on Testosterone which help with brain function -Good excuse ;) You can ride it backwards but getting off is a bit tricky!

@@getfitover40 absolutely there is no real front or back as it moves in both directions at the same speeds but as you mentioned the trick is the dismount, and maybe a little louder road noise if your riding a treaded tire. I just installed a enduro tire and man it’s the best upgrade I’ve ever done on my onewheels! Float on! ✌️

@@jaminjim44 Mine also has the enduro tire, came with it on so all I know at this point...

Tell you what if you haven’t rode one with the stock Vega you won’t know how good that tire is till you do lol how many miles are on your enduro and what pressure you ride? I had mine pumped to 20 but it was rubbing at higher speeds so i let a little out and loosened my hub bolts to try and move it a couple mills. Seemed to fix it but man there sure isn’t much clearance between the tire and the board. Seems like my pint was really tight to with the Hoosier. Curious to know if yours is a close fit.

@@jaminjim44 I haven't notice to be honest, just riding it as I got it hoping the tire pressure is where it needs to be. Made sure it did not feel to low but other than that it feels good on most terrain as far as I know anyway?

Yes I agree, but the Onewheel is fun to ride as long as it's not throwing you on your face...

How is more challenging more fun?

@@bigglyguy8429 I think what he is saying is you can do more which challenges you more. You can for sure ride more types of terrain and a lot faster on an EUC.

@@bigglyguy8429Hard challenges are fun to overcome

A great wheel all around for sure, the new Patton looks pretty good too, would love to try one out!

@Begodecrashtestdummy I hear trolls drink a lot of Bud Light

If I had to choose one it would be the EUC.

OW is good for slower more concentrated traffic situations where speed and distance isn't as important. Can be used in the city but less in the country.

​@@getfitover40 with a bit of experience, you can ride an EUC at the slowest walking speed. Smaller EUC's have enough dexterity to navigate crowds, but are cheaper, safer, faster, more torquey, easier to carry and lock up. They hands down beat OW in every metric.

@@DrXOptic But who wants a small EUC ;) Maybe the city commuter but if you can only have one it will be a bit larger, faster and have more range.

@@getfitover40 Absolutely love the weight and portability of my 14D. But you're right. Every household needs at least 3 EUC's - small, medium and large. The right tool for the right job 😂

​@@DrXOpticonewheels are more fun to ride around on trails and stuff. EUC is more of a commuting item

Yes Kingsong S22 version 1 with roller upgrade and add ons.

Thanks, would be helpful if you sent me some links to videos you made of yourself on an EUC and OneWheel so I can learn from you. That would be awesome bro!

@@getfitover40 i would but no time to do it! I’m an attorney and have lots of depositions going on!

Incorrect good sir

That sounds like something a Onewheel owner would say 😉

One can replace a car. One can not. In my book that makes one of them better. You decide.

LOL, Morgan, you must be a kid or something if you think 40 is old. You are going to wake up one day soon and realize you're 40 and wonder where the time went. I have been active all my life doing sports and outdoors activities, it is a part of who I am. If I stop doing them then I die, maybe not physically but I die to myself. I love riding my EUC and Onewheel so why stop just because I'm not 20 years old? So what age am I allowed to ride one of these till? 30? 35? 39? By the way I am 54 years old.

Maybe so but still Onewheels are a lot of fun to ride, kind of like the difference between snowboarding versus skiing.

EUC overall as a purely personal transport vehicle, sure. But Onewheels are plain fun. Not saying EUCs aren't, they're just different. Onewheels are better in tight spaces, and are 100% superior for dog walking. Unless the dog just wants to run constantly and never stop, maybe an EUC could also work in that case.

@@garrymullins They are for sure a lot of fun until you bail. I did sell mine as I found it to be more dangerous than my EUC. When you bail on the OneWheel you are in a sideways position which makes it a lot harder to bail in a safer manner. On the EUC I am facing forward and in a better recovery position, most times at slower speeds I simply run out of it or do a quick roll rather than a sideways shoulder crash and tumble.

@@getfitover40 Fair. My only at-speed (20 mph) nosedive, I got one very solid foot down, which absorbed a lot of the impact, and then I rolled. Was nothing. But I probably got lucky.

@@garrymullins I had a bad one going down a loose gravel hill, got going a bit too fast and panicked, ended up falling downhill onto my back on some rather large rocks and really got scrapped up and bruised up. Was not feeling good for about a week.
