I didn’t learn till I was 72ish. My first wheel was a 14” swag roller , to small to slow, I upgraded to a V8 f and it’s great and soon I will be getting a V11 cause it seems to have all the improvements I can use. Lots of country roads and more miles and I sure don’t need 50 mph. Oh the headlight is made for me ,it seems. Now I need a deer Deflector. Whoop whoop!
There are people who take a long time to learn. To those people I want to say to persevere!! Not all learn fast. It took me 3 weeks or maybe more. But I did and I'm glad I didn't give up. I am very happy on my electric unicycle. Gracias por tu video!!
Riding an EUC is a challenge for your brains. Fun and scary! See reactions of people just telling them about unicycle ; at the same time a physical challenge to synchronize your brains gyro and the one of the wheel, also a psy and emotional challenge to dare leaning forward . Is a whole human life a kind of unicycle trip!?😉
First I was wondering about your comment 'cause I'm a beginner and was concentrated on his cool advice. Watching a 2nd time 😂. Remember: you live in the cat's home , she could fire you up anytime 😉.
This clip using a belt and leaning forward is the most useful tips and no one .. literally no one has never ever mentioned it. The way `Chooch` presented it as authentic and honest one; it's truly mind-blowing.
I got a second hand monster a few days ago and using similar techniques taught in a video by wrong way I was up on it within an hour and riding up, down, and around my parking garage. I cant stress the one foot riding trick enough, it was the sole reason I was able to gain the confidence to put both feet on without using my hands. The acceleration one is spot on too, as soon as it gets unstable accelerating up to a healthy speed corrects it.
I was just looking at my v12 😂 that thought popped my head then I read your comment I think if this technique going to be used maybe some how attaching it to the machine or drill a small hole through Both the trolley handle and handle and attaching something to attach the belt there? 😂 I don’t need the belt now but it sounds like a good idea
I am learning how to ride my first EUC soon. It is coming in the mail today and I am so excited. I got an inmotion V12 HT. Thank you so much for your tips. I already have my homemade paracord strap to help me learn. Wish me luck!
@@choochtech Heys, I was setting up the V12 HT and noticed so many customizable options. Do you have any suggestions what I should start with for a beginner such as max speed, pedal sensitivity, dual mode, and stuff like that? Also omg! This EUC was so much bigger and heavier than I expected. Very excited to learn to ride it. I plan on vlogging the whole experience. Thank you! ^_^
Thanks to you and your belt I learned how to ride my V8s in 10min.😊 and was going around the parking lot in 15-20min. Just want to say thank you and and your videos 😊
Great advice Chooch. Yes and to use the belt option, go into the inmotion app, settings cog, scroll down to Others, turn the Spin-Kill off. This will disengage the button.
I don't have an EUC yet but I plan on doing a lot of slow freestyle technical riding. I have a hyper scooter for doing high speed runs. I love that with an EUC you can practice and have fun in such a small area. I'm thinking about buying the Begode Falcon. The Adventure V14, Commander Mini, and Begode T4 Pro+/Max also have me interested.
Just got a V11 a few weeks ago & greatly underestimated the learning curve 😂 but I get a little further & a little more stable each try. I'm gonna try the belt technique & just send it & see what happens 🤪
Great suggestion Chooch. Thank you for using a lapel microphone in your garage, much better quality in your voice and less of that horrible echo you used to have. Hurray 🎉!
In the kitchen is exactly how I started then went to the outdoor skating rink(in summer on concrete). Hooked after I made the first lap. 1 year later the fleet is up to 5 lol
thanks for the video chooch you got me into eucs and to order my first wheel and its arriving tomorrow and im im getting that christmas morning feel again :D
The BELT!!! Still learning. My starts are what suck. Wish I’d known about that in the spring. Can go all around for miles but avoid sidewalks because of the wobbly starts. Thanks!
Got my euc yesterday. Got on and went. I come from riding actuall unicycles. and i tell ya its the perfect combo of a unicycle and a hoverboard. lol absolutely amazing.
Bro, I ordered my first EUC about 10 days ago and its due in the first of next week, Commander Mini, I want to thank you for this tutorial because I bet I have watched 2 dozen and all had some quality points, but for my 45 year-old brain, this tutorial made me feel like Neo learning Kung-Fu. Seriously, I feel like I get it. I will be patient with myself, but I swear I feel like I will ride at least a bit the first day. I have done daily yoga for years, that has to help because my balance is rock solid, even on one foot in all sorts of crazy poses. Ill let you know how it goes LOL.
Hey E-Wheels, send this man a COMMANDER MINI, he is driving many noobs like me to the EUC community! Who's down with EUC? Yeah you know me!@@choochtech
@@Saurny It is my ninth day riding the COMMANDER MINI, my first PEV, I still cannot ride without holding on to the wall. More than anything else I am worried about rolling/breaking my ankle!
@@TheSkyHive For some people it can take a longer time. Your brain has learned to ride only with the help of the wall. you should only use the wall the first day as help. Try to be at a open area instead and do not be afraid of crashing. How are you doing now?
Yup i seen your old vid bout the strap but v12 has rhe kill spin but yea ill try this tommrow thanx bro keep up the good work love your vids, the reason why i got the v12 ht still learning but yea thanx
You make a very good point saying the brain needs to accept this news "reality". At the beginning everything tells you its not natural, with baby steps it becomes second nature.
Thanks to your tip about the belt I just sent it and could ride as soon as my A2 arrived, first try. I used an elastic training band, perfect for the assignment. I do think riding my sons hoverboard before helped alot to. My son is still learning on day 2 and almost never drops the wheel thanks to the training band.
Just got a Sherman s today, it’s a bit heavy and may not be the best choice for first EUC but I’m willing to put the time in to learn, thank you for this video
Excellent. Maybe the best. Belt idea good, scratching and crashing your new EUC is a psychological barrier to learning. My V5F if i raise the handle and ride backwards does the same. Eventually it becomes a crutch, but once you ride around the block with the handle up, you know you definitely can do this. 2nd point, speed, shoot out fast, once you get a little speed, the unit becomes self-balancing and you just stand there. Then came the death wobbles, another waypoint in your journey. EUCs are the ultimate PEV.
Bro, thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I’m looking to buy my first EUC. And the fact that you sound like Woody Harrelson makes it all that much better. Thanks again, bro.
I don't know why the wheel manufacturer's don't all produce training pedal attachment wheels. They attach to each pedal, with a wheel beneath, so you can stand on the pedals, with the EUC stationery, without falling off. You can then learn to slowly move in a straight line, speeding up, and slowing down. I made my own, which were height adjustable, allowing tilt and EUC movement in an arc path. As confidence grows, the height can be raised, then one, then both training attachments removed.
@johnhunter8802 I was gonna tell you my experience, but my package never delivered. UPS is saying it got damaged 🗿🗿. They probably didn’t want to deliver a 140 pound package up three flights of stairs 💀💀
For some beginners, it is easier and less tiring to use support (like one hand on a wall) to mount and launch, and learn to ride reasonably well before doing free mounts (no support).
Love the enthusiasm and the encouragement. I'm going to use the belt trick for sure, good tip. And who's the clown at the end. Super closed minded individual
ive been ridin for well over a year and im glad i watched this. the stuff you showed with trying to balance on one leg while holding on at the sides, and the belt thing...never considered doing either of those. i bet it could really help with learning to ride backwards which is something i can't do
Been riding for a couple weeks now on my Mten4. Got it up to 21.5 mph yesterday with no wobbles but it started beeping at me so I backed off. I used to wobble at 12-14 mph. I think it just took time to build my leg strength.
Learned to ride my first euc 2 months before, have to write down an advice. Check your pedals if they are always in paralell position. Mine hasn't opened right (sheman s) and for 1 month i was in crying pain,😢 didnt know what i screwed up, always falled down for hours of trying. Repaired it since and it works fine.
Great video! Some or most people say that you always should focus on standing up straight? Wouldn't it be harder to learn when leaning forward at the beginning?
This is genuinely excellent instruction with a positive vibe. I have been teaching people to ride for years, but found a lot to steal for my own future efforts with friends. Well done.
Hey chooch as always great video, super helpful tips! Can you please do a chooch style riding range test for the V12 HT or HS? I would really love another range test like the one you did for the V11!
Best video ive seen on this bro.. My FIRST wheel is on the way THE ET MAX!!! .. i dont fk around lol.. i super appreciate the belt trick. I was worried about scratching it. Thank god i can stert off with powering that baterry down to 20% to learn... appreciate the video !!! Thank you from 🇨🇦
I.juat got me a ninbot A1 for learning because i will get me a kingsong S22 but after i learned to ride save so a slow wheel first before you get a very fast one with 55mph
I just subscribed to your channel Chooch; I'm laughing so hard I have tears running down my face when you described the guy with the cigarette. Anywhooo, I'm itching to buy my first uni, will be referring to this to learn how to ride. #thanks
😎Nice 😎 Kids climbing frames are a good place to learn too. Especially if they have the rubber soft play surfaces. Hold the climbing frame, work along ladders etc... I counted 5 hrs before I could ride in a straight line. The soft surface is actually harder than on hard surfaces and the one I learned on had humps around too so learned orientation switches going along angled ridges too 👍🏻 They are like phones though, as soon as you k ow they are going to get stratched and banged up you just jump off them in a crash ha ha ha 😂 Teuly brilliant pieces of kit.
Already seems like I’m riding like a pro on my V12. Recently started learning to ride backwards, talk about throwbacks to when I first started riding. Slowly getting better with that, riding longer distances, still feels freaky because the brains trying to process those new movements. Just trying to relax while standing more upright than trying to force the wheel. Was that a male “Karen” you ran into at the end of your video or just making small talk with the guy? Only caught “would you just rather read a book” at the end. Oh! U-Stride’s was talking about pairing EUC riders for challenges. Might wanna check that out.
This is so awesome. We live in Thailand. And my wife and I want to get an A-2 as our first EUC. we live on an island that's 81 miles round. And we love walking but after this? We want to go for it. Thanks. James Ray Bond. Duan Bond. PS Hopefully when we bust our ass. Learning? It will be for our eyes only... Sorry couldn't help myself. From Thailand with love.
Another ONE! Great video Chooch, thank you for helping us newbies. Wish I had the belt tip when I was starting out, would have saved my s18 from a few scuffs. Any tips for your feet falling asleep every 5 to 10 miles? I have a few hundred miles on my euc but the problem persists.
I've done 300 miles already, 2 main things that help with feet fatigue. First - ensure your heel is at the end of the pedal, not sticking out. Second, learn to lift your heel for 10-20s when riding. Same with your toes, it's enough to release the tension and have no fatigue anymore. You need to practise it for a while though I can even do it at 20 mph speed and as soon as I feel fatigue I just do that a couple of times and no more issues!
@@leilani343 - I switched to hi-top hiking boots, hard sole, but cushioned on inside, which helped the most. There is less "feel", but it's more comfortable. Foot position isn't going to help much.
Great video I have a few questions. 1st I have an KS16S that I am learning onand getting very proficient but... I have been experiencing knee pain any suggestions for strengthening exercises besides riding more. In addition I also have the V12HT that I will be starting to ride should I start without power pads first before the pads?
I might be a year late... everyone does NOT have an island countertop. I live in a small one bedroom apartment. My fridge doesnt have anything infront of it! I have no island! Infact, I dont think any of the houses in my entire family have island countertops. My grandmother had one years and years ago but she had it taken out because she wanted more space. My kitchen is TINY but I cant reach two walls. Anyway new to the chanel great job. For us non islanders I say sir "ggggggrrrrrrrrr"
Important note: Everyone's brains work differently. My first EUC was a 60lb+ model and I struggled with the balanced, 1 leg 4-5ft stable riding approach when teaching myself. I did the kitchen stuff, then I just kept free mounting and flailing my arms to balance until I was able to push past the lack of balance and get to ~7-8mph, where I could cruise around the parking lot. It was ~30 minutes in the kitchen, then 30 minutes of parking lot before I could ride. All of these tips are GREAT -- but for order of operations, listen to your brain and what it needs and adjust accordingly. My brain needed to feel what it was like to be moving while balanced. After that, low speed riding was SO MUCH easier because I could trust the stability.
At 7 to 8 mph, most EUCs will become stable and self-balancing (left | right). I was also using arm flailing for balance and direction control at 3 to 5 mph in a tennis court, then moved to a long straight where I felt comfortable riding faster. At around 7 mph, I no longer had to make any balance corrections, and could just stand still while riding in a straight line. I knew that nothing had clicked, but instead I was just going fast enough for my EUC to become stable. Learning to turn by tilt steering (inner foot down, outer foot up), took a bit longer to do well, having to coordinate how much to tilt the EUC versus how much to lean. At lower speeds, the EUC is tilted more than the rider leans, at higher speeds, the EUC is tilted less than the rider leans.
I have a couple stupid questions.. How important is balance for riding an euc? I mean, if someone has horrible balance would they be able to ride eventually and will it help with their balance? Is a bigger more powerfull wheel easier to learn on because it balances your weight better? Is there a high-powered wheel that is exceptionally easy to learn on compared to others?
i started with KS16S ( after wacthing your vidéo ) yea original ^^ but let me tell you : GOOD MUSIC + a kingsong KS16S for beginners is a perfect match .. know i just got a V11 . My brain doesnt like the sensation he is trying to compare of course the V11 is way more heavy.. i feel like a drive a school BUS ( i know most YTBers say its like driving a LEXUS or a cadillac or smth but i feel i fly more on my little KS ... what i dream is a KS 16 S with more range ( we always want that) and yea maybe suspension but for the rest i really hope i will survive and appréciate the new learning curve of this V11.. im not the kind of guy who want to offroad and stuff like that or just a bit of trail. What i foundstrange . most of the professionnal riders ( i understand why you love BIG wheels but still ... im not yet ready to tell i enjoy to ride a 18 with a bigger weight./ Feel less manouvrable / more slow to turn ( hope is just a wrong impression because when i see you ride this beast > you rox as always . Cheers from belgium anyway/
I didn’t learn till I was 72ish. My first wheel was a 14” swag roller , to small to slow, I upgraded to a V8 f and it’s great and soon I will be getting a V11 cause it seems to have all the improvements I can use.

In the meantime the cat is making a video for CatTube "Is it dangerous to live with an EUC rider"
bruh... i was fearing for the cats life XD
Lmao - very funny!

Chooch was THAT GUY at the back of the lecture doing something weird. I love it. Thats what it takes.
I got a second hand monster a few days ago and using similar techniques taught in a video by wrong way I was up on it within an hour and riding up, down, and around my parking garage. I cant stress the one foot riding trick enough, it was the sole reason I was able to gain the confidence to put both feet on without using my hands. The acceleration one is spot on too, as soon as it gets unstable accelerating up to a healthy speed corrects it.
I learned on the Airwheel X3. Outgrew it within 2 weeks but it was $150 and it worked.
I haven't seen the belt being used, good idea. I'm still learning. I don't have a EUC yet but this is super helpful
Liked the video just want to put a word of caution on the belt trick. Make absolutely sure it cannot slip under the kill switch.
I was just looking at my v12 😂 that thought popped my head then I read your comment I think if this technique going to be used maybe some how attaching it to the machine or drill a small hole through Both the trolley handle and handle and attaching something to attach the belt there? 😂 I don’t need the belt now but it sounds like a good idea
Lol! "Wouldn't you rather be doing something more worthwhile like reading a book"
Brilliant..!
I am 64 and got a little V5F; thank you for your advice.
On your V5F, raise the handle and ride backwards (go forward with headlight to rear). Perseverance pays
My inmotion v10f arrived yesterday ... it's still unpacked - currently searching for videos like this . Tnx , this will be indeed helpful ...
becouse of you i bought myself a veteran sherman max ! i hope i will use this knowledge and learn to ride :D !

Hopefully when we bust our ass. Learning?
It will be for our eyes only... Sorry couldn't help myself. From Thailand with love.
Another ONE! Great video Chooch, thank you for helping us newbies. Wish I had the belt tip when I was starting out, would have saved my s18 from a few scuffs. Any tips for your feet falling asleep every 5 to 10 miles? I have a few hundred miles on my euc but the problem persists.
I've done 300 miles already, 2 main things that help with feet fatigue. First - ensure your heel is at the end of the pedal, not sticking out. Second, learn to lift your heel for 10-20s when riding. Same with your toes, it's enough to release the tension and have no fatigue anymore. You need to practise it for a while though I can even do it at 20 mph speed and as soon as I feel fatigue I just do that a couple of times and no more issues!
@@EUCvibes thanks, that's what I've been doing but it doesn't get rid of it. I might need to just get flat shoes and see if that helps.
@@leilani343 - I switched to hi-top hiking boots, hard sole, but cushioned on inside, which helped the most. There is less "feel", but it's more comfortable. Foot position isn't going to help much.
I used gel insoles it worked great for foot pain
This was informative and hilarious at the same time.
😂, As a reading fanatic and avid EUC rider I can say with confidence - Both activities are worth while, respectively for various reasons.
Best spot to ding up the refrigerator lmao
Hi does the grizla flow big fit well on the V12?
Great video I have a few questions. 1st I have an KS16S that I am learning onand getting very proficient but... I have been experiencing knee pain any suggestions for strengthening exercises besides riding more. In addition I also have the V12HT that I will be starting to ride should I start without power pads first before the pads?

Brilliant.
I might be a year late... everyone does NOT have an island countertop. I live in a small one bedroom apartment. My fridge doesnt have anything infront of it! I have no island! Infact, I dont think any of the houses in my entire family have island countertops. My grandmother had one years and years ago but she had it taken out because she wanted more space. My kitchen is TINY but I cant reach two walls. Anyway new to the chanel great job. For us non islanders I say sir "ggggggrrrrrrrrr"
Important note: Everyone's brains work differently. My first EUC was a 60lb+ model and I struggled with the balanced, 1 leg 4-5ft stable riding approach when teaching myself. I did the kitchen stuff, then I just kept free mounting and flailing my arms to balance until I was able to push past the lack of balance and get to ~7-8mph, where I could cruise around the parking lot. It was ~30 minutes in the kitchen, then 30 minutes of parking lot before I could ride. All of these tips are GREAT -- but for order of operations, listen to your brain and what it needs and adjust accordingly. My brain needed to feel what it was like to be moving while balanced. After that, low speed riding was SO MUCH easier because I could trust the stability.
At 7 to 8 mph, most EUCs will become stable and self-balancing (left | right). I was also using arm flailing for balance and direction control at 3 to 5 mph in a tennis court, then moved to a long straight where I felt comfortable riding faster. At around 7 mph, I no longer had to make any balance corrections, and could just stand still while riding in a straight line. I knew that nothing had clicked, but instead I was just going fast enough for my EUC to become stable. Learning to turn by tilt steering (inner foot down, outer foot up), took a bit longer to do well, having to coordinate how much to tilt the EUC versus how much to lean. At lower speeds, the EUC is tilted more than the rider leans, at higher speeds, the EUC is tilted less than the rider leans.
Excellent video.
Is this the Ninji guy??? Great video!
9:40 "now get that belt your dad whipped- ... now this is a hack!"
Awesome thanks
My v12 hs arrives in 2 days.
@@summerparty2917 best thing ever is getting a wheel in the mail! You gonna love it!
Very well thank you
Your cat is so cute 😍
Thanks for the tips and information👍🏼☺️
story at 8:16 is hilarious! can totally see bro-hawk with the cigarette doing his thing
I have a couple stupid questions.. How important is balance for riding an euc? I mean, if someone has horrible balance would they be able to ride eventually and will it help with their balance? Is a bigger more powerfull wheel easier to learn on because it balances your weight better? Is there a high-powered wheel that is exceptionally easy to learn on compared to others?
i started with KS16S ( after wacthing your vidéo ) yea original ^^ but let me tell you : GOOD MUSIC + a kingsong KS16S for beginners is a perfect match .. know i just got a V11 . My brain doesnt like the sensation he is trying to compare of course the V11 is way more heavy.. i feel like a drive a school BUS ( i know most YTBers say its like driving a LEXUS or a cadillac or smth but i feel i fly more on my little KS ... what i dream is a KS 16 S with more range ( we always want that) and yea maybe suspension but for the rest i really hope i will survive and appréciate the new learning curve of this V11.. im not the kind of guy who want to offroad and stuff like that or just a bit of trail.
What i foundstrange . most of the professionnal riders ( i understand why you love BIG wheels but still ... im not yet ready to tell i enjoy to ride a 18 with a bigger weight./
Feel less manouvrable / more slow to turn ( hope is just a wrong impression because when i see you ride this beast > you rox as always . Cheers from belgium anyway/
the last 3 seconds of the video is where i learned the most. lmfao
no belt, jut theory, and I agree, calibrate wheel, and and lean like a smooth criminal! lol,
I was lucky enuf to hop on my v12 on my third try .. i bought my v12 without even knowing how to ride ..
