    What helped me a lot was learning about the principal of physics behind the wheel. If you look up gyro and wheels, speed will help you balance the wheel, but the first thing you have to gain is the confidence and trust in yourself and the wheel. I seen in the beginning guys always cut their heel from jumping off the front and the wheel catching their heel. I started jumping off the back because the wheel has forward momentum. Next I padded up really well and that gave me the confidence of not getting hurt. My problem was the fear of falling, once I gained confidence in the wheel that fear went away. U-Stride has the best learning videos out their along with Duff. 👍

    Thanks. Thank you U-Stride because not making it look so easy. Because in this way I prepare myself to persevere. In other videos they say that it is very easy to learn to ride the wheel, and it is not true (for some) then if I do not do it as quickly as they do, I give up. In other videos that seem so easy for them I feel sad because I do not may l. But you make it look like something that needs a lot of practice and perseverance. So I do not abandon my wheel and continue in my slow learning task. Not all of us have the same skills

    It was this channel that talked me into buying an EUC. It was one of these videos that claimed the KingSong 16s was a good beginner EUC. I happen to agree. But to be fair, the KS-16s is all I know. I have the app set the EUC to beginner mode. My tire pressure is down a little bit. With the instructions in this video, I am doing OK. At the ripe age of 58, I have be a little extra careful, so yes I have All the safety gear; even in the school yard playground. I am still working on my foot control and have tasted a few feet of free victory here and there. I will get complete victory and I can't wait for the fun to begin.

      @@UStride i just got a Kingsong 16s the other day with no prior riding i watched your video and picked it up in two days. the key is doing it in socks, because with sneakers you can't feel the points you need to apply the pressure on. if you never tried riding in socks it feels like you are a part of the wheel.

    I’m a fairly confident rider now but prior to learning I only found one or two videos where the person knew how to teach the essential skills. Fortunately, I knew I needed those basics and kept looking until I found them. This video is spot on and essential viewing to any newcomer and is a complete introductory skills tutorial. Which reminds me, I need to learn to ride backwards! Excellent job!

      U-Stride After splashing for a V10, there is no way I was gonna quit! Fortunately I could get a good deal here in Shenzhen, and the V10 hit the price/performance sweet-spot. I’m 100kg and have big feet so the 1800W, large pedals and price gave it the edge over all other wheels 5400rmb is probably about 850usd. It’s a balmy 27C here in China so I’ll be going out very soon :) This video was particularly interesting for me as I have been thinking of putting together a video on stretches to do prior to riding as well as feeling awareness of the pressure on the parts of the feet and whether there is more pressure on one foot and/or one calf than the other. I think this could also be helpful for beginners.

    Hey U-stride, I just want to thank you for this very comprehensive building block tutorial, I’ve watched it a few times (okay, maybe not thirty times, just yet!), and tried to absorb your excellent advice. I’ve not yet seen a better how-to-learn-EUC tutorial, so again, a massive thank you from the wild highlands of Scotland, UK. My MSP arrives this morning via FedEx, but I’ve still got time to rewatch and learn in advance from the Man. A lot of the advice you give is similar to learning to ski in many respects.

      @@blackrooster1527 I saw a video a while back of a man in his mid 70s who was a couch potato before getting his wheel. He had a hard time going to the mailbox and back. His wheel is perfect for him because he just has to stand. Now he goes everywhere. He said it breathed new life into him having his mobility back. Now he's on the bike trails, on the hiking trails, in the parks, zooming here, zooming there and having a blast like a 20 year old again. His wheel goes like 75 miles on a charge. Amazing.

    This is the best tutorial so far that I've seen of dozens of videos. The fine details and exercise tips is much appreciated. I will be saving this one.
    I have ridden hoverboards over the years. When I first got my first hoverboard in 2015, I thought the thing was broken as it didn't work like how I saw in the videos -- but it was just me. LOL. So the hoverboard took maybe a day or two to learn to be able to ride. Now its the most natural thing and I use my hoverboards all around the garage and driveway just for errands, chores and for fun. Seriously, I used my hoverboard to work on my fence & gate, re-organize my garage and move boxes in and out during my house move!
    Question: How much does hoverboard riding experience translate to the electric unicycle riding though? Anyone with experience on both vehicles care to comment? I'm guessing that my muscle memory for the sensitivities of forward-back (pitch) control for acceleration/stopping will translate over. But, of course, the unicycle can lean (roll) which the hoverboards cannot do because of their fixed lateral two wheels. So we can see already that the unicycle has another primary axis of control that needs to be learned.
    Also, is it possible to balance while stationary with an electric unicycle while waiting for a red light? Standing still is super easy on a hoverboard. Then the hoverboard can pirouette in-place and turn all around 360º with little effort which makes chores around the garage nearly effortless even in tight cramped spaces.

  • @lespearson3801

    I was watching the wheel closely when he was doing the lesson on turning and realized you counter steer just like a motorcycle. You flick it in. In other words, you start a right turn by going left for a split second to intiate. Then, lean into the turn for balance. I'm sure it just intuitive like a bike, but it's the same physics.

    Went for my first ride on the tesla today. I was really paranoid about binning the wheel on hard ground ($$$) so I decided to find the flattest grass I could and ended up at a soccer field. Bonus was that some of the goals were small and low so I was able to go from one side of the goal to the other while hanging onto the crossbar. I just kept going around the goal doing that while relying less and less on grabbing the crossbar. Once I could make it from one side to the other without grabbing the crossbar I moved to the field and worked on stepping onto the wheel with nothing to hold onto. After that just worked on trying to make it a few feet, then further then further. Once my foot and ankle muscles started to adapt and my staibility improved, I tried on the pavement. I think because the grass was not prefectly smooth and my stabilizing muscles really got a workout, once I got onto the pavement it felt alot easier and I was able to start cruising fairly quickly. I ended up riding about 3 miles non stop and got up to around 20mph. It was fantastic!! I still really need to work on handling the wheel at slow speeds and making sharp turns but I'll work on that next time I'm on the wheel. Thought about some of the steps throughout this video and they helped so thanks for making it! Can't wait to get back on the tesla!

      Sorry for the late reply, but this is due to lack of leg strength and foot control. When one leg/foot is applying less down force on the pedal vs the opposite leg it will cause wobbles and other strange behavior at higher speeds. Also changing your riding stance will help with this

    This video was really useful! I got my wheel Sunday, did some exercises for two hours Monday, and today (Tuesday) after another two hours, something clicked and I was riding up and down a bike path. I still have to get used to mounting/dismounting properly and smoothly, and still have to learn more control before I'll feel comfortable with other traffic.
    Rocking left to right really helped to get a feel for the wheel's weight. One thing I would add, that really worked for me (maybe just because I am learning on the MSX, a bigger wheel than most learners) was going in a squiggly line. I was actually able to do this before going straight, as it helped me feel how to get the wheel back in balance if it was tipping too far one way or the other. My wide and erratic turns became smaller and smaller until I could control the wheel and keep it in a straight line.

    Step one: Balancing the EUC with youe leg and foot. Accomplished. Step two: Getting onto the EUC. Step two accomplished. Step three: More foot and leg control. Step three accomplished. Step four: Rocking back and fourth. Step four accomplished. Step five: Move from point A to point B with help. He said to do this about thirty times, take a break and do it thirty more times. I have done it thirty more times, probably eight hundred more times and I'm still not ready for the next step. I was still working on this one when my EUC stopped working. It won't come on. It won't do anything. I believe I have worn it out. I guess I'll just have to admit that riding an EUC isn't for everyone. Oh, well, it works great in helping to fill my garbage kart.
