Since getting an euc, we downsized to just one car. Now that my wife can also ride, we spend our weekends riding trails together. On an euc, it's no hassle to stop frequently to take photos of interesting plants or wildlife. We've seen more than we ever did bushwalking. Plus one thing you can't do on any other form of microtransport is holding the wife's hand while riding. With intercoms, it becomes an activity we get to enjoy as a couple. Unlike cycling where one person is following the other. Luckily, EUCs are allowed where we live. I hope everyone gets a chance to experience the joy of EUCs. It really has changed our lives for the better.
I see more but I notice less. When I walk or cycle where I usually used ride euc then I see so much details that never occurred to me while riding the euc. The euc is faster but also takes a bit more concentration to ride, so you focus more on what's in front of you.
I’ll share with you that at first my thoughts was just to return it and give up. It will take days/weeks of practice, but I guarantee you won’t look back! Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad I stuck to it pushed through the difficult learning period!! I ride my Sherman S everywhere. I also have the V12 HT. It's amazing as a commuter. Great video. 😁 Keep it up.
It definitely isn't easy. I would say it took me a solid 6 hours to comfortably ride on the footpath. Once you "get it" though, it really is effortless.
Took me 3 weekends of 1 hour sessions to go from non-rider to comfortable rider. It took a lot of self courage and persistence but it was so worth it, riding the euc is just feels special, fun and free. You also get that special feeling knowing most ppl can’t do what you’re doing and when you across another rider there’s a special bond
I just turned 50 this year & have just bought my 1st EUC. I started in an underpass to get my balance & within a week I have been taking the dogs for a walk, going to the post office, small trips around the village & getting used to going up & down steps. I have got years of life experience of skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding & rollerblading behind me though which all definitely help. I haven't seen any other EUC riders yet but I'm looking out for them.
Great video!! You nailed it, the EUC is the ultimate commuter. Thanks for the great comparison on costs between the different commuting options for your trips, it really shows how you can save money while having fun riding EUC.
Well. Yes and no. That depends on individual needs. But i want to see you enjoy that trip you did now in heavy rain, windy weather etc. I'm using 3 options (car, bike, EUC) - each got pros and cons. But they aren't completely interchangeable in most scenarios.
If you have the money and you are thinking if getting a motor cycle or mopad, get an EUC! its hard to learn for the first week or two after that its much more fun and convenient and freeing. Unlike a motorcycle, you can ride in the rain and snow for some brands, its one wheel drive so technically all wheel drive. Truly changed my life !
EUC's are the best PEV ever! It's so fun, nimble, can navigate big crowds without being annoying, its feel so futuristic, takes up no space, super portable. I love it so much.
I love euc. But for being cheap it only makes sense in some scenarios. Like people who can avoid public transport thanks to their euc. Or parking fees. Or who can completely sell their car. In most cases a normal bicycle is the cheapest option. If well maintained it can last decades. It doesn't need batteries. It's average speed is in many cases not far from euc average speed. It's also very healthy. Maintenance is also cheaper thanks to mass production. Euc needs more gear and in the few minutes that you put it on you could be already on the way with a bike. Euc's depreciate fast. Total mileage is not so high. Many people max out at 15000 km per wheel. A battery replacement ruins the cost per mile. The tires are expensive compared to bicycle tires.
I agree with you on all the positives and negatives of bicycles and EUCs. But I still find that the fun and feeling of freedom an EUC provides make all the cons worthwhile. But you’re right, bicycles are awesome!
That’s true. I did include a symbolic extra 5 min for parking first, but then decided to compare the trips only later. But it’s true, have I had included those, the EUC definitely makes even more sense! Thanks for watching!
I know, it’s a lot! I meant, cars, bicycles, scooters, do cost same or more. But hey, looking past those €2000, the future looks pretty FUN and packed with savings! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
You could technically buy a cheaper EUC or a used one. :-p Initial investment is less important. Depreciation matters more. Total cost of ownership is a factor of cost of depreciation, fuel, maintenance, and extraneous cost like registration, insurance, and parking. EUC's big issues are that some places may not let you bring it in and they're hard to lock up if you're not prepared, weatherproofing, and minimal cargo carrying capacity. Only so much you can carry in a backpack and in your hands. They can also be a real pain to carry up / down stairs. Lately it's also been apartments / condos banning PEVs.
I got one of these hyper e-scooters to give rides to my wife with about the same ease as my EUC, it really re-confirmed how much better it feels to ride a wheel not just because of the tire size but the feeling of floating and just being one with the road and superior convenience... There is nothing like it.
Only takes 2-3 minutes to put on equipment. About a minute at stops if all he has to do is put on his helmet and gloves. 😛 Doesn't sound like the car time included parking. Having to find a spot, walk from the lot to the store and back, settle into the car and then get out of the lot can take several minutes at each stop. EUCs and bikes (assuming bike racks at every stop and a simple u-lock) will be way faster.
I've made rough calculation of going to the work by EUC or public transport. EUC is actually more expensive if you consider the price of buying EUC, service and how long you can use it. From my point, the advantage of EUC is freedom to go anywhere any time during commuting, portability of device.
I’ve screwed a light bracket directly into the plastic casing (drilled in pilot holes first) Check out my V12HT review, I briefly show/talk about it there. Thanks for watching!
If you’re new to it, this one in the video (InMotion V12HT) is imo the best bang for your buck. It’s good for a beginner at the same time that you will never grow out of it. You may go looking for other features and specs on other EUCs later, but this one will always give you a tonne of fun!
Wow, you live in a beautiful city! I have some questions: Do you put sealant in your tube for puncture resistance? I have put slime in mine, and at around 18mph, I have been getting speed wobbles. I am still determining if it is me since I am new to EUCs and growing that muscle memory, or the sealant that is causing it, I also have an Inmotion V12HT version, not HS.
Brisbane truly is stunning. 2032 Olympic City! I’ve never added anything to the tire/rim. Coincidentally I got a flat today, not from puncture though, but probably another torn tube valve. Will find out this week. But in saying that, if you’re new to it, it will take some getting used to; this wheel is top heavy. Also if your tire is too hard/pumped up to recommended psi, you’ll find it harder to balance. Thanks for watching!
@@mgtowlevel5293 can you do that with an EUC my mtb and gravel bike I have but needs to be a tubless rim right? I have slime in the tube that's why I thought it was getting unbalanced

I've been thinking about this learning curve. I reckon its similar to riding a bike. It's just that we learn it so young we take it for granted

EUC all the way and all day! Great video.
I’ve been riding for two years I love every minute of it!❤
Fantastic video dude. That looked fun. I really want an EUC now.
Thanks mate! You definitely should! Keep your eye on the prize, and that being, the joy of riding a wheel!
Thanks for watching!

It truly does! And I can’t wait to put those savings towards my next wheel! 😁

your dog is amazing 😁
He’s just the best boy! 😁

Very true.I’d also take the car in the rain, but but EUC on sunshine days 😅
Thanks for watching!
Just gotta wear a bathing suit like Roger.
Euc Ftw !! cool video. beautiful dog too !!
Thank you! Much appreciated! 🙏🏼

I completely agree! It also changed my life!
I sold my motorcycle, and after EUC, I’m 100% with you on that.
Thanks for watching!

You should add cost and time for parking the car every time you make a stop on your route. That adds up real fast.
That’s true. I did include a symbolic extra 5 min for parking first, but then decided to compare the trips only later.
But it’s true, have I had included those, the EUC definitely makes even more sense!
Thanks for watching!
As much as I love my V12, you can't just say: "Yeah let's just ignore that negligible initial investment of 2000€" 😅
I know, it’s a lot!
I meant, cars, bicycles, scooters, do cost same or more.
But hey, looking past those €2000, the future looks pretty FUN and packed with savings!
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

Awesome video. Im from the goldy and have a v12ht.. so keen to take to brizzy
Much appreciated mate!
Same here, I’m keen to take it down the goldie 🤙🏼

Exactly! EUC is the best!
Thanks for watching!
Did the 60 minutes include kit up time? Non-negligible overhead for short trips! :)
Na, just travel time, kit up time is non-negotiable for maximum FUN!
Thanks for watching!

I'm not sure the math always works out like that, also if you calculate how much your time is worth.
I subbed
EUC all the way!
Hell yeah! 🎡
3:03
you got a stand for the camera on your trolley?
Sort of, it’s more of an improvised selfie stick attachment.
Is ot hard to repair these I would like to get one but the idea of changing the tire etc makes me nervous
It can be a little time consuming. Tbh I haven’t done it myself, but with the right tools it isn’t too bad.
i just ordered one getting the v11 decided i have to go for it eucs seem so fun@@euc360
I saw the regatta 😳
May I know of the make and model of your EUC?
InMotion V12HT - Check out my review on it on my channel.
Ive been looking for a good way to mount a taillight on my v12. How's your light attached in the back?
I’ve screwed a light bracket directly into the plastic casing (drilled in pilot holes first)
Check out my V12HT review, I briefly show/talk about it there.
Thanks for watching!
Where can I buy this... ???
I'm in India
Try your local PEDs retailer.
Allied Express
What are some good EUCs you would recommend?

It's because your new. I was where you are about a month ago. You have to learn to control them.

Time to go tubeless brah 😎
@@mgtowlevel5293 can you do that with an EUC my mtb and gravel bike I have but needs to be a tubless rim right? I have slime in the tube that's why I thought it was getting unbalanced
@@sandorszabolcsi I just recently ditched my tubes on my MSX V2
What gloves do you use?
These are Fox Dirtpaw
Ya just all the gear you need to have to ride an EUC, is it's main drawback if you care about your life.
