Ultimative most annoying thing - living in a country where EUC are banned. 😫
Start an underground community.
Which country is it?
Australia
Yeah, living in Germany. Only Country in Europe where it's kind of a crime 😢
@@Lidischbergerdefinitely not true. Österreich, Netherlands, and Switzerland are similarly restrictive. Ask how I how😂
00: Cars - We have the same profile as a pedestrian, and drivers misjudge our speed when hooking a right.
YES the many times i am riding like a normal bicycle 25km/h on the bike path wearing a motorcross helmet. And people just not looking or thinking i am going walking speed. Also the thungs i heard people say when i got hit "normally i look, but this time i forgot", "i didnt see anything in my mirrors" and then he parked on the bike lane and sidewalk. Belgium is also sonething else
I like Adam’s approach where he takes control of the situation and directs the pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorist. Much better to take control and set expectations vs assume everyone has the same understanding.
I carry a Nitecore p30i flashlight, it's 250,000 candela hotspot will blind drivers even in daylight 🤙🏽
All my friends think I'm an idiot and that these things are super dangerous and that I am going to get seriously hurt. Several have mentioned that I might be going through a midlife crisis. I laugh at that and say what a joke! I'm 58 years old, midlife crisis was a long time ago!
Hi there, youngster.
Number 1 for any PEV the legal situation in most countries
11. If you are not technician, any repair is a headache and/or will take a lot of time. So, you have to have spare EUC to ride it when the one is under repair.
True but one thing is the extra expense of paying for maintenance and repairs, and another thing is having enough for a spare EUC or other vehicle. Some people are fortunate to have many EUCs or other types of electric vehicles.
Speed wobbles are my number 1 issue and the reason why i am covered in bandages sitting on the sofa today
Over time they disappear 😔
@@iqmark2761 Until you get a new 6th wheel and its centre of gravity is a bit to high 🤕
What wheel were you riding?🤷🏻
@@Hermes8A8A Lynx
Bro, get well
the most annoying thing is the price of the wheel
Facts man I got an extreme bull k6 for cheaper then a high end euc goes for.
5:36 'Please, for the love of...Begod(e)'. That was awfully specific. 😂
Glorious pun. Greatest EUC content on the internet.
Hate dealing with ticks on trail rides 😳
it's great to see you so happy with a topic about what sucks
I can ride the heck out of my EUC's but trying to adapt those skills to an analog unicycle is really frustrating.
I got flats every 500km aprox, x 5 cheap and heavey duty tubes, high or low pressure. Tubless also flat. But now I cannot get flats because I have a mousse tube. I didn't take wheel apart to install. I'm never ever using tubes or tubless ever again. I won't get a instant blow out infront of bus. Run over nail, no problem. Valve snaps off no problem.
I feel like the initial learning curve an obvious one and it may be the biggest reason why EUCs are not more popular.
People love them, though. I’m a middle aged guy, people are fascinated by it. I don’t lie to people, it takes a little bit of work, but my line is that you don’t remember learning to ride a bike. If you have kids, you remember teaching them. They didn’t get it right away, neither did you.
That was what attracted me to EUCs... learning a new skill! You see shows like Everything Electric where e-scooters and e-bikes are available for the public to try. EUCs are nowhere to be seen (most likely due to the learning curve). Maybe the new E20 will change that?
Price combined with the learning curve. Bikes are hard to learn too, but cheap, so you usually get to learn it early on regardless of your income.
Definitely we must watch for everything: cars, dogs, children, pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, old people knocking their foreheads… just because we are a NEW KIND of SHAPE to be recognized by peoples’ brains so we are INVISIBLE for people for this reason (especially stressed car drivers). It is weird, but it is true.
Number 11 : Non-stop raining :)
I live in a tropical rainforest so I gave up trying to keep my stuff out of the rain a long time ago. Luckily most EUCs can handle some rain exposure, and most can be completely weatherproofed with some minor modifications at home
Sandpaper pedals, how 14' wheels hurt calves, felling like an alien on the streets with everyone looking at you.
Acoustic. I like that.
The wind is my biggest ennemi on euc
Welcome to Scotland! 🏴
@@freeforester1717 in Marseille too ! Lot of sun but of wind 😜

10.1. When all the grocery stores in your town allow PEVs and there is one that favourite store where bikes and e-scooters are banned (but not EUCs, since they don't know what it is), probably because some irresponsible schoolkids have previously made a mess out there, which infuriated the owner. And you have no idea whether they will look angry at you when you enter and walk your EUC or if they won't.
Me and my third flat tire on my v12.. last one being yesterday so i will have the pleasure to spend half the day to swap it. It is really a pain in the a.. to do this on euc
I have a V 12 and the first thing I did is remove the valve stem and added sealant, some people call it slime. I have never once had a flat.
11. All the boulders on trails and knee high bollards around sidewalks and biking paths in town in Poland that clip your footplates
hope you'll do a review of those powerknobs? 😀
I probably will!
That’s what she said!!😂
Parts and servicing is the problem here in the UK as shipping can be up to £70. You do like comfortable on that ET Max
Adam, you forgot to mention the problem when you buy a new device (just released on the market) and a constructive defect is detected in it. After some time, the manufacturer eliminates the defect and it is no longer found in subsequent models.
There is also a problem when a manufacturer stops selling spare parts for its previously released products.
I'm sure you know all this well too 😅
Got my first EUC(Kingsong 16x) 2 weeks ago and just got the last piece(hopefully) of my gear kit, a nice chest/back protector. Ive crashed twice, once on my front and once on my back. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful content for us all to watch.
The tyres should be tubeless because fixing a puncture on a tubeless is dead easy; no need to remove the tyre. Just insert a plug.
2. Why do we not have chargers built into the bulky electric vehicle charging plugs? Then we could charge them up alongside the electric vehicles at the charging stations. (Not everyone has grid powered electricity.)
3) They have battery energy storage. A 12Vdc outlet would be nice, so that I can get full use of the batteries.
cars that dont look for EUC riders, mostly at crosswalks
That's true for all micromobility devices, as well as walking. If you're crossing a street, assume every car wants to kill you and wait unless they stop. If no one stops, that means you're either crossing at the wrong spot, or your city has failed you.
11. Become addicted to puns.
Not a con!
I wish a flat tire was rare. In 1500 miles, it happened three times. Then I messed up my wheel during my third change and yeah, still want to ride but man it is so frustrating. Literally looking at the V14 simply because it should be easier to change
6. Parts - oh yeah. Motor malfunction - ETA ~3 weeks just to get it delivered even if I change it myself.
Another option for friends - don't make them🐈
ive never cut off but recently got a flat while riding.
I hate gearing up, so I don't, but to be still safe - I usually ride at 20kph. I mean I'd rather go slow than to put all that shit on
I do the same :) depending on the ride ;)
12. Or 13. Uphill grades when battery is low. I live in Utah and everything is uphill. Not many EUCers, lots of explaining. Anyways, I plan my trips looking at the grade to make sure I’ll make it up or down the incline on the way home. Not a problem for short trips
Also hollow motor bearings costing 320 euros a pair is nuts.
Someone explained to me why they cost so much??? I bought an absolutely insane extreme bull k6 for 2700$ but in the euc world that’s not even a high end wheel price. There is less metal,plastic yet drastically more expensive.
Ah yes, the mountain of gear and the time it takes to take it off and put it on. But I'll never ride without it.
My S22 mainboard fried while I was in the jungle ALONE!!! It took 2hrs for me alone to push dead EUC out of the woods. The only God-blessed thing was that the area barely got the phone signal to call for a rescue.
Good video. Thank you, Adam.
04:37 - Point 5 - From what I have seen, wheel removals (to e.g. repair flats) tend to be a complex and difficult task, prone to causing collateral damage to wiring, water seals, and etc. Refining the designs to facilitate straightforward removal and reinstallation of EUC wheels and including mechanically-secure, watertight motor wiring disconnect plugs should not be a difficult challenge for competent engineers. Engineering benchmarking opportunities abound in the automotive and aerospace industries. I hope that this is high on the to-do lists for all EUC manufacturers.
Preach it :D
lower back pain,riding an euc ruined me.
11. Price! We need a good priced wheel that we can easily recommend to newbies. Like a Falcon but less than $999
That little stump on the trail is why I always carry a pocket saw with me.
Saw cut the stump closer to the ground for public safety in general. Be proactive in helping others not having a bad day.
It's gonna be annoying AF after upgrade from a 67V wheel to a 150V wheel. My safety gear is going to triple.
Cost. They are quite expensive.
we must invent something for pedal clips, for a pedal to slide back or something
I’m thinking if we can design pedals with an incline to bring the toes up and also an incline for your heals ,I clipped the back of the pedals a good number of times coming off curbs or hills at certain angles , instead of riser pads screwed on ,just design the rise in the peddle itself
If you clip your pedals constantly then after some time you learn either how not to clip or how to do a save after you did clip.
@@user-xv5iw5zh4m True, I would say it's the biggest issue when I ride in deep grass, I notice that I need to be way more careful compared to my motorcycle. Basically, if you can't see what you are about to clip. But I also noticed that it's not as bad when you clip your foot, so at least if the pedal edge was soft it would slow down the clip impact.
very nice. I'll steal this good idea for video.
Take it! Sharing is caring :)
Nice video! I'm missing a chunk of pedal on my sherman s and as you know they are up pretty high. Hit a bolder hidden by a bush on a trail and went superman ... hahaha good times. Other than that flats and parts waiting time is horrible
Logs under the plant growth got me flying a couple different times,not to mention when someone makes a new trail and leaves the little tree stump right there and a peddle clips it = Gggrrrrr!
I seem to be a ninja at the first point... Pedal clipping.
Aaaghhhhh not again!
It's steep, rutted and rocky around here.
More broken ribs 😢
Please do a review of EUC backpacs.

anyone else wonder if Adam recently took his first hit of acid?
Shhhhhhh
@@mr_wrongway don't worry! secret is safe with me 😂🤣🤣
Easy on easy off gear and more armor for women are 2 of my biggest complaints. I gear up and down multi times a day and I'm small so I end up with armor that's to big, ment for large men, being my only options for easy on Easy off stuff. Make more easy on stuff for women please leatt!!!
Check out the Fox brand of gear.
Fox Titan Pro D30 knee guard is good and they also has matching elbow protection.
They have youth and also men's sizes. Also Lazyrollings sell jackets in XS get the level 2 pads.
Bugs and ticks definitely should be on there.
Dude going through all those ferns catching every variant of lyme disease know to man 💀 (slight exaggeration)
I am not ATGATT.
When I go out for off-road shenanigans it is legit ATGATT but if I am riding with the slow group which is also the one which will end a ride (or mid ride) at a pub/restraunt then I go with just motorbike jeans with no leatts on top. It is somewhat of a risk sure, but we only hit 25mph tops and they are still proper motorbike jeans with padded inserts.
Also, in summer like now I have pure wrist guards with no finger protection. It's a risk I am willing to take. The fabric won't save my fingers from breaks, just getting battered and cut up if the worst happens. But... I have ferrets so cut up fingers is no biggie for me. And if I wear my full gauntlet style glove things then I WILL end up taking them off during heavy off-road just because of how overheated they get.
I think MTGATT is still risk averse enough. You don't always need the full shebang. I never ride with a chest protector for instance. Always a motorbike jacket which has elbows, shoulders and back.
Being asked, "what is that", shortly followed by, "it looks dangerous",
Cutouts can be ridden out of, in theory. Part of the reason I ride a regular unicycle now.
I would like a vid on the 10 most positive and negative remarks people make when riding an euc.
What do you guys think about No Gear or just 1 piece (like either helmet or only wrist bands or gloves for example) for slow speeds similar to running (max 20km per hour). I know some people have accidents slower than that, but if one trains how to fall, it would be similar to running fast or slower. I am thinking for example in the city on the bike path or offroad, not really around cars on the street. Comparing to running (no protections are used for running) both in speed and situations (running on the street is dangerous compared to running on the sidewalk or on the trails offroad).
Glasses so the bugs don't hit my eyeballs an wristguards for just in case black ice or some other misfortune shit and ride 20kph, zince even if I wont be able to run, the probability if hitting my head against the ground is miniscule. If there was a helmet that was as easy to put on as a pair of glasses - I would wear it, since there is a risk hitting some pole/rock/stump/barrier with the head, and it can be devastating
I want to get the lynx but I can’t afford it my mate is telling me I should get a master since it’s the same for half the price
Im looking to swap escooters for euc but more i do research on them i see theres no proper commuter/light off-road with good battery.
Seems to be one or another or pay 5million 😂
I still think i will settle on one and start learning thou :)
Finally some old format video😮
Loved making it!
Flat tires are rare mostly because the majority of EUC’S are using a knobby.
Drive by shootings…everyone else dives behind garbage cans😅
the most is the price, sold my master and get only what i can afford a A2+ a nice machine 1400$ nothing this nice around that price and no use euc that have LG m50t 🤔
I ride in a group and one dude hit a tree root went flying and his euc got wedged in between some trees
I keep asking this, sorry) How's ventilation in your nice Klim F3 helmet?
It’s quite amazing. One of the best if not the best ventilated moto helmet I’ve ever worn.
Cut off is the most annoying, and the fact that it might happen. 👍
My question would be have you had any unexplainable cut offs in last year? There are a few more annoying things like ifnu live in a small town, you must always wave. U have no idea how many ppl been like "I waved and u didn't acknowledge". So I just wave at everyone now. Or when ppl say do a wheely. Or when ur just having a great time riding and ppl try to wave you down. Like sorry but I'm flow right now.
I get frustrated when I have to clean my EUCs, especially Patton 🙄 Nothing works without a toothbrush 🪥🧽🪣
Please make them so water resist, that they can be sprayed at high pressure in the wash box 🤣🤣
PINK!
YES!
What wheel are you riding in this?
Begode ET Max
@@mr_wrongway Thanks. They release so many wheels it's hard to keep up!
Yo Yo!
Which tire is that my man??
VEE RUBBER 14x3.00 - it doesn’t fit so well, I’m working on it
Pedal clip pedal clip pedal clip! It's the worst
Przejedź ta trasa za zeraniem o 1 w nocy. Jak w zoo
Znam to :D tutaj dziki tu sarenki :D
Not happy with your tyre change 😢
also me annoying content makers who always praise every new wheel 😀
what are your pronouns?
