The TRUTH about the Gotway Nikola 100v // Insider Tips to make it the BEST Electric Unicycle!! | evX 

ru-vid.com

Just got my Nikola. Couldn’t agree more about Soft mode. Learned to ride in Hard, and when I changed over it was like unlocking a cheat code. The whole experience got smoother and cleaner. I appreciate this review it helped sell me on the Nikola and I’m loving it 50 miles in.

My first unicycle experience was with an Inmotion V5F. I learnt my first steps with this wheel. Now I ride an Inmotion V10F and for now, it’s enough for me, which probably won’t be at the end of 2021, who knows. Thanks for the video. Cool insight on your beginning and a good review on the Nikola.

Excellent review, this my main wheel in Vegas, it's done an amazing job over 5k miles on the 84v and 500 on the 100v ! The new angled pedals help make controlling wobbles much easier.

Great video! My first wheel was. KS14c 4 years ago. I’m currently riding a Nikola plus like yours. It a great wheel. I’m envious yours came without the startup sound. I’m tempted to unplug the speaker. Found a Monster version V3.5 used this week. Haven’t tried a Monster before. Looking forward to it for longer rides.

hi from France! my first wheel was a fastwheel Eva. i started on july 2020, just 2 months ago... now I ride a Z10 for 2 weeks... just a crazy gap! Love it!!!

My first wheel was a 16s I’m a fairly proficient analog uni rider so it hasn’t been dropped all that much; I don’t ride that far but I ride it every day But I’m drooling at a 16x or a nikola 100v

My first euc was the ninebot one e+ i put over a thousand miles on it so far now i’m upgrading to a gotway nikola+. very excited to learn how to ride this much heavier and faster wheel!

first wheel KS 16X, been riding for about 2 weeks now and im loving it :)

Awesome video Mickey! Lots of helpful tips. I am loving my Nikola 100V. My first EUC was the Fastwheel Eva Pro back in July 2015 with max speed 12 mph! Lol. I got bored after 3 months and switched to KS14C followed by the KS18L. Now with the Nikola 100V and what a great upgrade! The speed and range are amazing and no more speed throttling. That offset stance and leaning back when braking is just the perfect recipe to stop the wobbles. Keep up the great work!

Very well articulated and excellent editing and production. Great job, Mickey.

Nikola 84v my first thanks to you, Marty, msiang, chooch, Kuji Rolls & Wrong way. All of you inspired me to start riding on this bad boy. I'm stoked to try out the 100v

My first wheel was the airwheel x8. Rode it on the beep everyday for 4 years until I wrote it off against a curb. Now on a ks 18xl with 2k on it. Always fancied a gotway

my first and only wheel was a V10f... just got the nikola 100v 1800 ... And WOW.... Amazing wheel smoother ride than a inmotion, feels light when riding it... Amazing.👍👍👍

Great vid bud

Fantastic video, mate! Just started started last year in April. Had a red ACM 16 67V on sale shipped all the way to the Philippines by SpeedyFeet. The roads are like sandpaper here, so it got scratched up pretty good despite a protective I made. Still riding on it daily, although I was able to purchase a slightly used 84v MSX in Manila last Christmas. Love it to bits and prefer it on short sub-20km trips, because it's nimbleness and thin tyre is keeping on my toes on these cracked, pothole-riddled roads.

Nice to hear you chat bout your wheel. 👍 My first EUC was the Inmotion V8, I think I've done 4000 km on it, it had a protective cover so it's still in a good nick. Ride it to the shops now and then.

I wish I'd watched this before I set off on the inaugural run of my Nikola plus last Tuesday. I bought a spotless low millage used Ninebot S2 at the beginning of lock down. So pretty. Never been on anything close other than some dirt bike experience when I was young (20 years ago) After a few days of knocked shins and trapped fingers in the wheel. I mastered not falling off quite so regularly. Then I was smitten. Within the first month I had watched so many videos and got so sick of the 15mph speed limit that i decided the Nikola plus 100v sounded the most cutting edge for my first serious wheel. And the best chance of keeping the beeps out my life. So 6weeks later my wheel arrived and after an hour of admiration and familiarisation, removing tilt back, setting speed warning at 20mph. I adorned my safety gear(lots and lots) and set off. Completely different feeling to the tiny S2 but what a great solid feel. I set off down the winding newly laid road to one of our beaches. Turning heads a plenty. Stopped at the bottom and turned off the 20mph speed beep I'd set. I hadn't hit 20mph yet but I was feeling brave. Back up the hill till I hit the level straight at the top. Wheel was rock solid and standing straight as I looked at the speed rise on my phone to 24mph I felt the freedom long denied by the Ninebot. Then the wobble happened. Not sure how it began. I tried to grip with my knees but that only seemed to anger the Nikola. I was suddenly, right arm outstretched, hurled into the tarmac. Sliding to a halt with the sound of my brand new Nikola crunching and scraping out of sight. I stood up with zero pain amazed that I hadn't sustained even a scratch? My Jacket and trousers look like they should now though. A few battle scars on protection makes them feel like I got value for my money. The wheel however took it hardest. Both side panels heavily scarred, the handle buckled and I chipped the corner off a foot plate. Got back on and started home. Got half way and my shoulder started hurting. Then i started to go into a bit of shock. Got off and pushed it home. Head spinning and sweating buckets. Turns out I pulled shoulder muscle (few days later found out I cracked a rib too). Spent the Wednesday covering the Nikola in 10mm neoprene. I also noticed it was on hard setting so changed it to soft. Much better. I was out on it on thursday and every day since. Love it so much and when I go out tomorrow I'll try the offset stance. Had been doing the dominant leg stance since the crash but still nervous about higher speeds. Give me a month and I'll be pushing the beeps lol. Great video thanks, I just wish I'd watched it first lol. Still sore as hell. The joys of being 50.

Still on my first! KS 14D... Great starter for me so far..

just have to pass this on. The CST tire is prone to speed wobbles due to the center ridge on the tire. I just changed to the Chaoyang H-666 tire which is absolutely amazing! I now ride comfortable at 30+mph no wobbles, check my phone and carving is a dream. Like riding 3 inches off the pavement. If you are in love with the Nik 100v you owe it to yourself to do this tire change. You will be sooo happy you did. Peace and love the vids.... ride on brother!

My first euc is kingsong 14D. Great wheel for beginners. Took me about an hour to get the hang of it. Very challenging, but worth the effort! Now i ride euc almost everyday. Yes that beep sound is like an oxygen to me as well🤣

My first unicycle "experience" was a InMotion V10 i got for testing :)

Nice! Love the 100 volt! Wheels and GotWay great video love you down in Florida so cool specially when you’re hanging out with Mr. duff good footage love the Richie Holmes videos are always entertaining good footage and there’s a couple things you have on you when you’re riding that are really cool your kneepads and I think it’s your mike that is right you’re right side one side speaker one side microphone not quite sure I’m at MSX 100 but would love to see a monster bumped up with the shocks and a bigger motor With a lighter battery I’m thinking this combination would be really cool over the 100 bump up the tire bump up the motor keep the batteries in the 100 mode OK rambling on thanks 😊

My first wheel was a V11 which was tricky to learn on but doable with the launch being the hardest to learn. I protected corners with Gorilla Tape so it still looks overall pretty good aside from some superficial scuffs. 🙏🏼

After several years this is still an informative, entertaining video 👍

Awesome footage as always, I'd love to ride down there one day!

Nikola was my first wheel. I had issues with the wobble for the first weeks, but now I even like riding it in hard mode for responsiveness, nearly no wobble since I got used to it. I have custom DIY made pads. Love the wheel, I'm 92kg so I need the power and huge battery!

It looks so sunny and nice there! And the drone footage looks great!

My first was a Ninebot One E+. Did not think I was ever going to learn it once I got on. :-D

Great video Mickey.

Ninebot One S1 was my first. Still have fond memories of learning on the low cut grass at my neighborhood park.

As always ... your video is just so interesting... keep riding...

Great video bro. love the scenery there. This is the most rambling I’ve heard from you yet..... LOL. I could really feel your affinity for the Nikola. (Hope those drug dealers don’t see this...LOL)

Nice video Mickey! Looking good!

Got my first wheel, KS 16X. Love it, just wish it had more top speed. I’ll stick with it for a while until the next few generations come out. Maybe the next version of suspension wheels will have go at least 45mph. At yes, Jason at eWheels is amazing.

Euc's are love & that beep is the oxygen that fuels our adrenalin each time we hear it, our soul knows whereabout to embark on a journey that keeps our Mojo rolling! Ride on brother, ride on. 😜👍✌ Except it makes the same sound when we turn it off too! : (

I've just gotten my first one, V5F inmotion +should've saved up more) and found this community earlier. Missing home, greetz from The Netherlands😝 keep riding🤘 awesome video!!

Ninebot s2. Did the mrn76 hack straight away. Learnt on that for 4 weeks then brought a z10. Ride that for another month then by chance an msx came up in my country, NZ ( next to no one rides these here) so brought that. It’s my no1 wheel now

My first one was a v10. Stepped on and went for a ride its was super easy. It was just like skiing going forward and stopping is like snowboarding. My only wish is that it it went faster. Snow is fun tho.

My 1st EUC is the Begode RS19 High Torque. Wanted something easy enough for a beginner, but badass enough to grow with it.

Great video, good vibes! First and current one, second hand 14inch Airwheel X3 clone that died soon after I learned how to ride. Bought some mosfets from ali - works for 5mins dies again. Bought original mosfet on ebay - works until now :D my god can't wait until I get GW RST

Great video bro

I'm in NYC. I use an electric scooter to get to and from work but my new office building wont allow scooters so considered getting one of these. Thank you for your insight.

My 1st wheel is one that is pretty much more of a toy than a proper wheel. I still have it and it still is perfectly fine. It is a freeman 14in. It has a massive 132wh battery, pedals the size of baby hands and tilt back for speed starts at 9mph but if your brave you can ride the tilt back to 12mph. Range is about 4 miles give or take a little. I rode this wheel in to work from where I would have to park about half a mile away for 3 weeks before ordering a 16s. Now my 16s has about 3200 miles on it and my mcm5 has about 3400 miles on it. Oddly I still have fun grooving off on the little freeman, makes me want an mten3 for playing around in small areas. I need a fast wheel with decent range, and I like a little bit of flick ability so it seems the Nikola plus would tick a lot of boxes. I want 18xl range but with msx speed and this seems to do that very well!

14s is what I'm riding, first wheel also!!! LOL been about a month, and absolutely love it. Already interested in moving up but not sure what I should look into...so many great wheels!!!

I’m an intermediate rider and am looking to upgrade to a larger wheel with more range/stability with mostly street and an occasion off-road ability to keep up with my friend who rides a OneWheel. I won’t be doing crazy jumps or stairs. Do you still recommend the nikola + or a different wheel? I do want that 70 miles range.

I was inspired by Kuji. Bought my first Inmotion v8 last week. 4 hours of practice over a full week. Used days to rest and recover. Things were definitely sore.... Just started mounting yesterday. Your video helped me achieve that. Now when I ride, I kinda feel like I'm a student of yours because I keep referencing your words in my head. 😁😁😁 I have big riding plans ahead. 💙💜💚💛🧡❤

Get sticky velcro and put it along the bottom side of the handle, and the other strip inside the inset area. My first wheel was the inmotion v8, which I'm still working on beating up...

KingSong 18XL 2200W motor. Has a few battle scars but I still ride it. I ride the KingSong 16X and Nikola 100V 1800Wh more these days.

My 1st wheel was the Msuper V2 I still have it for nostalgic reasons and have since done it over aesthetically but underneath its red white & blue reflective foam exterior hides the training scares of a Newbie rider, I laugh now but that wz my 1st love into this exciting adventure of Euc's, Micky I believe I even sent you a pik of it, I call it my Freedom rider and not so much for its arrangement of colors, but for what it released inside me, All I can add is Im free at last & Im loving it. 🇺🇸 Btw top speed of the V2 is 24 mph sure isnt fast but wz enough to set me free. 😜✌

Mine was the s18. Looks New. I used a rubber workout band to catch it during a spill so it's never really had one... yet.

I been wondering if theres a polymer that can keep the shell from crackung/shattering after a fall n skid

My first electric unicycle is an in motion v5f and I still use it but I am planning to upgrade to the gotway Nicola plus

very nice place and very good review Thank you

Mine was a Swagroller! Funny.. at first I thought that was impossible to ride.. Now I own like 10 wheels (and a Nik+ too!) But I kept the swagroller for my kids and friends! I wish you a nice Gotway beep! Cheers

Gotway mcm v3 14" I think the bcm burnt up it still turns on and rides but feels choppy when ON but rolls smooth when OFF🤷🏽‍♂️

You said mode setting you go on soft and not pro where do I fond this setting, using the Euc world app atm, also I'm getting some speed wobbles around 40km/h plus, Didnt fall I'm used to riding Euc's but could this be due to air pressure, haven't checked the air since I got it, I'll try and get it to 35psi

Great song at the end

Just showed my friend your video he loves it, the scenery of Miami is insane he says. He travels to Miami all the time

Beautiful place. I wish to ride there one day.

First euc was a 14” airwheel back in 2014. Don’t know if it’s still rideable. I gave it away once I bought the Ninebot E+.

My first wheel is a second hand v8, had a huge crash in the beginning but it still works like a charm

My first EUC that is also the wheel I'm currently riding is the V8F, which I decided on getting over the KS16S because of youtubers like you and Hsiang :) It's got some battle scars and low range, but I know it will always be a reliable convenience wheel

My first one i got is the king song xl. Looking brand new with the cover that they gave me to jeep from scrachting it up

my first wheel was the ninebot one c and its still in great shape and still my only wheel and i bring 2 extra batteries in my backpack switch it out and get riding again and get around 40 mile range

Great video Mickey! I started on an Inmotion V8, and that short clip in the hallway took me back to that first day. I think, like you, I was up and riding in about *cough cough* a half hour LOL. I only really dropped the wheel once, when I hit a speed bump while not paying attention and just bailed. Currently spend most of my time on a V10F, and am considering one of the new suspension wheels.

My first wheel is about to be the 16x. Just ordered it yesterday from eWheels, and it's on back order.

Fastest 20 minutes ever! Great video. Four weeks w the V8. Ready for the 16x or the 100v Nikola. Decisions.....

Two summers ago, exposed to bird scooters in LA during vacation. Returned last summer and finally got to try them. Ordered an m365 the day i got back home last summer. Got my first wheel this January, Tesla v2! Still riding it with over 1,600 miles now🤓 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHICH EUC I END UP WITH NEXT! SO MUCH IINNOVATION THIS YEAR!

Another great video Mickey! First wheel was a V8 replaced the side panels after learning and still a gt. 2nd wheel to my Nil Plus 100v.bEen riding hard mode since I got it, might give soft mode a go! Thanks & stay safe! 🙏😎

I just ordered my first EUC! MSX 84V. Hopefully I can learn on the Gotway.

Regarding the GoPro mount bracket on the front, what does it look like? Link to an enlarged picture, please

Does an e u c require a lot of leg strength ? Is it hard on the knees ?

my first EUC was and still is rideable the inmotion v8

nicely done

Now THAT’S a review video! 💥 Such great content and production! Your knowledge and insight is spot on and can help new riders enter the sport in a safer and more understanding way. Bravo, Mickey 👏 My first wheel? Nikola 84v 🤗 I started practicing with my friends V5 for a few days. I then had the opportunity to try a Nikola and Monster. I was immediately hooked!!! We were literally in the middle of a group ride when I stopped at the bank and bought the Nikola right there haha. I since taught many friends how to ride on the Nikola and eventually sold it. Currently riding MSX 84v. It’s great for everyday riding, but I could use a 100v Monster in my life too, for those long cross country rides I like to explore on. Maybe GotWay will make something perfect right in the middle for us... 100v Monster Mini - 20x3 tire - Top speed 50mph (so I can safely ride at 45mph). With my 5’5” 125lb jockey stature, I could probably ride at 35mph the whole time and get 100 miles on one charge ;)

nicest nikola review I can find!!

I started almost three weeks ago and my first EUC is inmotion v5f. me and my ten year old son just love it😁😁🤘🤘🤘

Z10 and MSX. Just bought both and started riding 3 days ago. Amazing experience so far

Hi 👋 with Gotways, this Nikola in particular, the tiltback/throttle control occurs at very low voltage and/or is subtle. I come from the power e-scooters world and can't imagine riding and suddenly slow down like it's a flat tire

Great video! I see you got your ewheels sponser lol. As for first wheel, I started on the ks14d and quickly upgraded to the 14s for more range but instantly regretted it. I couldn't stand that bulky battery pack hitting my ankle, Had to buy some high tops just for the wheel. However, now I gave it to my niece and she learned to ride on it 👍

My first wheel was a ninebot s1 Inmotion v8 and gotway msuper v3 bought all three at same time

KingSong 16S great wheel to start out on. Super safe and great quality.

My first EUC INMOTION v10 still ok BUT I NEED MORE POWER! Regarding your style of foot 🦶 position on the wheel it’s good remember me the sailors they using this style of position while navigating in storms

My first is Mten3 and is still my fav...

Mine is v8! Still rideable. In fact, I'm riding it right now during the quarantine... trying to learn how to ride backwards on it. Better to beat up the v8 than my Nikola 😂

My first and only euc ninebot z10. Waiting for my v11 to arrive though.

I ride my InMotion V8 for 500 km, and now i want to make an upgrade between Nikola 100V and KS 16x. What do you think ? Thanks.

Nice video Mickey. Lots of good tips. Soft mode is enjoyable for sure, but really sucks for hardcore trail riding (in the mountains). Would be cool if Gotway allowed you to change the ride mode while riding, as KingSong does. BTW, all of your Florida videos have a turquoise look to them. Definitely gives a certain vib to the look but is it a Florida vib specifically? I need to go re-watch some Miami Vice videos ;-)

Nikola is so Awesome !

I'm just getting my first EUC. I'm 220 lbs, what specs on a wheel do I need for my weight and what wheel would you recommend? Thank you for the help.

The one I am still using the V8F, bought that at ewheels and pre-ordered my S18 from them to. And yes my V8F is really beaten to the point it has cracks in it etc and it has a very solid shell so took a lot to do that lol

What settings do you use? do you disable all alarms and tilt back? If I leave the tiltback at 48km/h would the tiltback be dangerous at that speed? what do you normally push it to? I'm scared of motor shut down like what would be a safe top speed to never have to worry about motor cut off ?

Just bought nikola 100v today, its my first euc...

Quick question, How long did it take for your feet to stop being sore. My feet are the deciding factor on how long I ride , they just kill me after riding for a while.

been riding for a 5 weeks (total) - 4 on the KS18XL - I switched to Soft and lowered the tire pressure a bit (riding at 29 psi atm) about two weeks ago. I weigh 150lbs/68kg. what I found is the KS just flows better on soft - everything about the ride feels smoother and better. I switched back to hard and rode for a couple hours... nope! back to soft edit: my first wheel was a discount Ninebot One E+ - learned on it, and ordered the KS before the first week! Its super fun to jump on and zip around now that I have a tiny bit of skill - but I live on the KS now. I'm super comfortable cruising in the high 20's but my next wheel will be a lot faster for sure

Great footage as always! Question: is it me or you disconnected the audio module of the Nikola? So proud of the beep but not the "tu-du-tu-du-tuuuu", right? :D BTW, for some time now, I'm struggling between the crowd-friendly KS16x, comfy-torquy MSP, and crazy-agile-powerful Nikola+ (21700 cells). Keeping all of them for now depending on the mood and schedule of the day. Started with Nunebot E+ 5 years ago, which I sold 3 months after getting it to start the EUC "bigger-faster" performance-violence-escalation :)

Woo-hoo! *grabs popcorn*

My first euc was an Inmotion V5 all due to a RU-vid suggestion, and I sold it. And you're right about the EUC beep being like oxygen. Great video bro 👌. How do you guys get such great sound while riding? Lav mic?

Hi Mickey, I have a gear question for you : I've picked up a Nik+ a few weeks ago and ordered the same pads that you added to your wheel (the stock pads are horrible!). My question is, if you had to choose between picking up the Leatt 3.0 EXT and the Dual Axis , which one would you pick? (In this video, you had the EXT but not sure if it was a purposeful choice for this wheel or you just happened to have them. ) With these pads, im not sure if the hard shell of the dual axis could be a problem, what do you think?
