Dude, I bought one of these wheels. The learning curve to get this good is high. I have a whole new respect for the skill needed to make things look this easy. Cheers
The video that you made in the business suit is still my all time favorite. You picked the perfect music and look so cool and relaxed. I think that you deserve an award for that one.
Man, the anticipation grows...the muscles I grew trying to jump w/ my MSX will serve me well on this S18. I can't wait! Chooch! That last jumping shot looked great!
The bike lane + the right turn lane combo + inattentive driver is exactly how I got my worst EUC accident. The driver just merged into the right turn/bike lane without looking. Thankfully no broken bones, but lots of soft tissue damage and road rash. My helmet and face shield saved brain and my face. Wrist guards saved my wrists~ I agree wholeheartedly about feeling safer being in a car lane.
agree man, another thing i started doing is just waving my arms in a fashion t get cars to see me. Always pointing nodding and just riding like people are actively trying to kill me lol.
I appreciate the good example you set with wearing the gear. Your the reason I use a reflective vest (I just didn’t think of it before) I wear it day and night and it makes a big difference you can tell cars have a lot of caution by me now. 👍🏻
"The bike lane is the most unsafe place to ride" -- yes! I learned this as a cyclist. It's better to just take a lane on streets where cars can get around you.
Especially how they design some bike lanes. Flow of traffic, parked cars, and then bike lane...no one sees you over there because you are hidden from view by parked trucks and box trucks etc.
You are sooooooo right about bike lanes. They aren't even all that safe for bikes because of the same reasons here in Philly. I ride electric longboards and that is the only time i've been hit by a car
I have been using that horn for biking and now for EUC. It's mental how loud it is. Mine have hose so you can use it at bottle holder at your bike frame and horn at handlebar.
You REALLY LOVE riding that thing! 🥰 it's easy to see by just watching you. It's not always about getting the biggest range or highest top speeds, EUCs are evolving in a better direction now. 👍 I have a theory about the s18 and jumping (compared to v11), on the s18 all the battery and frame etc is sprung so it's bouncy, so when you launch that weight bounces up and brings the wheel with it. But on the v11 only the rider is sprung and the whole wheel/frame/battery is dead weight so you need to lift the wheel with your legs when you launch. Just a thought...
Whats up big man. MY favorite parts of these vids is peoples reactions. I only rock a 16X and Z10 but they are fantastic wheels and I got them specifically for my size (290 lb give or take). I've been thinking of upgrading to a suspension wheel that can take my weight. That sherman S looks juicy.
Yup I have a V11.. FIRST EUC... I enjoy standing straight up BUUUUUT when you hit something big enough you DEFINITELY think about those knees! The road slopes alot in a bike lane and its not cool for straight tracking.
S18 looks great but I can't go back to a slower wheel...unless it was dedicated just for offroad..but again..my wheel handles offroading plenty fine...
Thanks for the video. I was going to hold off for an S20 and then decided yesterday that the S20 is too much wheel coming from a OneWheel XR and put in an order for an S18.
Boy it's hard to choose between this and the V11! Living in a small, old British city with steep hills and bad roads, there's a lot to consider. I like to go off-road too, for the freedom, but need to improve my skills. Currently I ride a Z10 and a V5F. One of these WILL be the next step, but which?? 🤔
In france, speed is not a problem anymore since we cant ride over 25 km/h (like ebike and electric scooter) since a few months ago, otherwise it's a 1500€ fine (maximum). That's why i'm ok with my inmotion v8 :p. Nice video btw ;)
Man some of that riding in the semi indoor area was sick! I watched my latest upload back and it’s crazy how bent my knees were and I look upright almost 😂
Merci pour la vidéo (la traduc automatique en français fonctionne♡). J'aimerais bien arriver à faire la marche arrière et le demi tour d'une façon si naturelle comme toi (0:59)...
If i bend my knees to much on my Tesla it starts to wobble, so I have to turn constantly. Gripping the Tesla with bent knees is even worse. To stop wobbles i normally release top pad pressure and striaghten knees and it stops at once. Never understood how you could ride with such bent knees all the time
50km is not enough for city?😲 I think the issue with this wheel is that it has low range but still it’s plenty for a city trip it’s not good enough for bigger trip.
a lot of great tips, thanks for sharing. definitely gonna start using a reflective vest. also looking forward for the posture video. I am new to the sport (btw your videos also inspired me to take the leap and buy my first wheel, thanks! :) ) and well done videos on how to improve the riding, like posture, high speed turning, braking, etc. will be super useful.
great vids and very useful ideas！any recommendation for helmet camera? I don't wanna bring a camera stick in front of my wheel, too dangerous for me. Thank you! from a 5000+ km rider
Just wondering, what makes you ride with confidence there won’t be a cutout? I am having confidence issues bringing my mcm5 to higher speeds fearing it’ll cut out. Any tips?
Wow was 99% on the v11 but this makes me thinks twice for a beginner rider.I see you are experienced with both the v11 and s18 .. For a disabled veteran who is not as active as before , multiple injuries from war . arthritic back same knee and is motivated to buy one of the two .. which would you recommend for a daily with quiet street rides and very few dirt trails . will not be exceeding past the 20mph. which one would you recommend for more balance for those with no balance? Need to break my social impaired
I think the new batch has these death wobbles more compared to the first batch cause they changed some of the material from steel to aluminium. Anyone experiencing wobbles on this thing:?
How hard is it to jump a speed bump? I know the EUC can do it, but I'm not sure if I can. I guess it's safer than jumping using a roller skate (as you can fall back or forward)
What tire pressure do you keep your S 18 so it won’t wobble. I just got one and I’m learning and I get a little wobble when I break car or going up in steep hills
No, I wouldn’t buy this wheel now. I over powered it and crashed bad. Get something different, check my most recent two videos. They will help you pick a wheel.
I just absolutely demolished a set of V10f pedals after gapping a 4 set (cracks had formed after learning stairs and doing other drops). I watched you clear a 5 no problem. Do you feel like this wheel can hold up to pretty much most normal stair sets without blowing out parts?
@@choochtech Dope. Definitely gonna wait until the bugs get worked out, but this is definitely gonna be my next wheel after seeing you ride the same way I like to in the city. Good video 👍
Likely an Insta360, I have the x2 and all it takes is one fall and the Lens cracks and you have unusable footage and a VERY EXPENSIVE Repair fee. If you want the footage unfortunately there’s nothing like it, but be sure to get the added protection, because they’re fragile.
what do you think? this isnt à plane.... of course it can handle city -___- shishh but thanks to all previous reviews everyone has forgotten about that. anyway that's not my problem i don't own shares in KS. But i'm mostly seek of reading "naaah the S18 is for off road, v11 is for road", "40miles ? naaah that sucks for the road" wth people! anyway where i live, city is 50kmph for everyone, and 25kmph for all PEVs so... not even a problem. Police seeing you hitting that 60/70kmh and you're going to jail.

99% of euc riders don’t really go faster than 31mph unless it’s in short bursts. This wheel looks fantastic

Exactly what you described happened to me in the ‘protected’ bike lane. Fortunately I stopped and let him turn. I caught it all on my GoPro.
I appreciate the good example you set with wearing the gear. Your the reason I use a reflective vest (I just didn’t think of it before) I wear it day and night and it makes a big difference you can tell cars have a lot of caution by me now. 👍🏻
I can't believe the number of people who wear invisibility suits while weaving through cars that could crush them.

You always wear gear. I appreciated.
Отличная езда, свободная, легкая. От езды надо получать удовольствие, браво.
This looks so cool!! Just waiting for a version with a bit more range for small city to small city driving (20miles of distance)
maybe the s19?
Haha that fog horn is awesome. And super useful. Cool that its essentially endless due to its refillability
You REALLY LOVE riding that thing! 🥰 it's easy to see by just watching you.
It's not always about getting the biggest range or highest top speeds, EUCs are evolving in a better direction now. 👍

And what did you found? I'm heavy too. How many miles on 16X? And did you changed the wheel?
Would love to see that video on where to put your feet in the petals (as you mentioned in the video). 🙏
me too
Thank you so much dawg. I'm gonna buy me a vest right now.
Yup I have a V11.. FIRST EUC... I enjoy standing straight up BUUUUUT when you hit something big enough you DEFINITELY think about those knees!

When I get my s18 we should ride. I live in Aurora Colorado and ride in denver always.
Your videos are awesome. Can't wait to get mine. 😊

What did you end up choosing and were you happy? I’m just about to choose between those two now.
Z10 and V5f is like Mr Jekkyl and Mr Hyde . Got both them too . So diffrent ride :) .
this is crazy cool
Great videos mate..super excited my s18 arriving :)
Hi! Love your videos and your riding style! You are talking about making a video about good riding posture and foot placement. Really need this! :)
In france, speed is not a problem anymore since we cant ride over 25 km/h (like ebike and electric scooter) since a few months ago, otherwise it's a 1500€ fine (maximum). That's why i'm ok with my inmotion v8 :p. Nice video btw ;)
wow your a hell of a rider ripping with that wheel
the real problem with this wheel is the undersized battery for the motor.
Good morning I really love wheel where buy online and by me being first recognized.
What kind of range do you get when doing fast city rides like this? Love the videos man 😊
I'm also curious?
Also
He’s walking and will reply once he gets home😉
No one knows??
Probably about 30 miles. A little more
Man some of that riding in the semi indoor area was sick! I watched my latest upload back and it’s crazy how bent my knees were and I look upright almost 😂

Wish our city was this (less) populated. Main city is just crowded, while this one here is more like my bald head, barely any
I'm still stuck with Ninebot E+ in 2020, but really want to upgrade either s18 or v11
I have a slightly bad knee is euc not for me
Just what I wanted to hear as a new rider.

Dont do it... stay with the V11
th-cam.com/video/RB7tBrOWQN0/w-d-xo.html final version v11
Dude I gotta get that air horn!!😂
This is my first wheel and I love it !!
Have you got jump pads on that wheel ?
Holy shit... that horn! LoL!!
The accidents on this will be brutal
By the way I live in Denver to I’m practicing in Platte River and Chatfield Dam
I jusy got my s18.. O
ooh mann. Have to unlock first
if you had to choose 1 to keep, would you keep the s18 or the v11?
s18
Hey, would you still buy a s18 in 2023?
i hope i can chooch it some day
Looking to get my first EUC. Between the S18 and V11 do you think either of them cater more towards first time riders?
Your riding style is tremendous! Absolutely fantastic! The leg work is awesome!
Don't ride too fast on pavement, though. :-)
You seem so confident and sure footed how do you keep it from wobbling since you’re going so fast
need to turn on "noclip" so you can go beyond the fence.
Just wondering, what makes you ride with confidence there won’t be a cutout? I am having confidence issues bringing my mcm5 to higher speeds fearing it’ll cut out. Any tips?

Dude, you make great contents for us all. I really like your vids ... BTW you film everything youssef?
I keep wondering, how often do you need to get out of the way of something by accelerating? Can you point it out on video?
At an intersection with a bike for example when it's too late to brake. Or if you see a hole on the street and a car is coming from your side path
@@sebastianrex8856 But how often? Like once a day, once a week.
@@B08AH thats the thing, you never know
I think the new batch has these death wobbles more compared to the first batch cause they changed some of the material from steel to aluminium. Anyone experiencing wobbles on this thing:?
Any chance to meet up and check it out in person? I'm local. Definitely contemplating 1 but it would be nice to see it in person
3:00, haven't found the posture vid
Not fast enough for the city...
rides at 40 kmph down the footpath 😁lol
How hard is it to jump a speed bump? I know the EUC can do it, but I'm not sure if I can. I guess it's safer than jumping using a roller skate (as you can fall back or forward)
Cant wait to ride through 16th st.
be careful i have been handcuffed and harassed and ticket for it but i still do it for the shot lol
@@choochtech ah that sounds on par. Good to know bro.
Nice vid! Btw how do you film this? I see you hold a monopod but it isnt visible to any of the clips? Did you edit that out? Really cool
Sorry I know it’s old, it’s a 360 camera, usually the stick will not be visible
What tire pressure do you keep your S 18 so it won’t wobble. I just got one and I’m learning and I get a little wobble when I break car or going up in steep hills
Yoyoyo man, is it better than King Song 18XL ?
No, I wouldn’t buy this wheel now. I over powered it and crashed bad. Get something different, check my most recent two videos. They will help you pick a wheel.
S18 is my very first EUC. Having a blast on it so far! Learning curve is definitely higher than a Onewheel, but I definitely feel safer on the EUC.
How was it sir, any issues encountered?
@@Cons2911 after a year of owning it I haven't had any issues with any of the electric parts. It rides smooth and is a great commuter for around town.
2.44
You got balls on yr feet!?
Are they dipped in brass too?!
Chooch, some people might take offense to the air horn, maybe a bike bell would be better, lol
I use a Loud Bike horn and finger bell - depending on the situation. A lot of people walk around with headphones and don’t hear bells.
Chooch, where was that ditch air at the beginning?
Raymond Simmonds highway 36 near Broomfield on the bike path
@@choochtech Got it. I'll shred that! -Thanks for your awesome vids. You're the best of the west.
I just absolutely demolished a set of V10f pedals after gapping a 4 set (cracks had formed after learning stairs and doing other drops). I watched you clear a 5 no problem. Do you feel like this wheel can hold up to pretty much most normal stair sets without blowing out parts?
yea should be fine, also your forward speed is key for it to take less direct downward force.
@@choochtech Dope. Definitely gonna wait until the bugs get worked out, but this is definitely gonna be my next wheel after seeing you ride the same way I like to in the city. Good video 👍
Speed on this is fine... I see people doing stupid speeds through the city and eventually they will be the ones who get them banned.
Great Video.
Appreciate that!
What settings do you have your S18 set too?
Come ride in NYC! ☺
what is your angle degre negative or positive good video
I have pedals leaned back so tips up slightly, on this demo I kept it flat though. My normal ride calibration is slightly higher in the front.
Is it worth getting a new s18 in 2022? I wanna experience euc but I don't really know what to get
yep, just get a protective cover for it, when learning the wheel gets knocked around a bit
how about a clown horn?
What's the equipment you're using to record this video? some sort of 360 camera?
Jin Kuzunoha yea but I can’t recommend them they are expensive fragile and all backed by Piss poor customer service

Don't go on sidewalk especially at that speed... you should give a good example... pass so close to pedestrian it's very dangerous. Thank you

Are you allowed to ride on the road?!
depends on local laws here its like a bike or moped under 50cc

I think you drive too fast in pedestrian areas
Please slow down when driving on sidewalks, wheelers will later avoid having sanctions from the police or town halls.
