AscenXion Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 As we all know, introducing yourself for the first time can be tough...so I asked ChatGPT to write my intro for me. Ahoy, fellow electric unicyclists! It's a pleasure to make my grand entrance onto this virtual stage, and I must say, I'm feeling a bit like a circus performer without the big top. But instead of juggling balls, I'm juggling the challenges of navigating the woods on an electric unicycle. And let me tell you, it's quite the thrill ride! {That line is rather amusing, because I right a normal unicycle, too, and everyone asks if I'm going to join a circus } As you all know, electric unicycling is a unique and exhilarating way to explore the great outdoors. And for me, there's nothing quite like cruising through the woods on my trusty one-wheeled steed. It's a true test of balance, agility, and nerve - not to mention a great workout for the core! I've been documenting my adventures on my YouTube channel, and I'm thrilled to share them with all of you. From heart-pumping downhill descents to peaceful rides through serene forests, my channel is a treasure trove of electric unicycling content. {not so many downhill descents, but you get the idea } Ok, so back to me again. This is the first video on my channel, I got a little wacky with filters and video editing as I progressed (and even added in a continuing story line...). I don't have a ton of videos yet (winter kinda happened) but I'd be thrilled if anybody watched any of them, and let me know what you think. Thanks, AscenXion Floating Through the Woods on an S22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for parts from china to fix my euc (5 weeks+ delivery time is killing me) and came across this guys videos on youtube. Its like medicine for my soul. Waiting on roller sliders for an S22 by any chance? Mine's been gone since December waiting on those.

Looks like some kind of gyroscopic effect where the wheel has gone off course and now it's locked in this level, and precisely because you try to force it on the right keel again, it just gets worse and worse? Strange ! I've experienced it once with first-generation puncture-free bicycle tires that were so thick and heavy in the rubber that if you took a sharp turn, with an incline on the bicycle, it was almost impossible to straighten the bicycle afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I had this occur already, a few times at high speed, to the other side. I hadn’t mentioned it as I put it down to initial jitters/pad placement. On another owners group, someone posted earlier in the week asking if anyone else’s v13 pulls to one side at speed. I chimed in and reported my cases. Their wheel went to the left, mine to the right. We both considered our pads but we were scratching our heads? Today was the other side for me, to the left? today was extreme and i had no chance to pull out. It was all fine, I had rolled faster for 20km on winding paths flicking the wheel easily. This was on a straight and nothing changed it just started. Im thinking the tyre? maybe the high psi of 40? it all seems aligned well, no slime etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding out your left arm just makes the right turn even worse. I have never seen anything like this, nor felt it on my wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punxatawneyjoe Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Sorry to hear of your crash @Forwardnbak. Watching the video it looks like you shifted your weight over but didn't force it onto your left foot pushing down on that side of the wheel. It's really odd though almost like the initial lean started out of the blue. I think the v13 is a beast and you really have to muscle it around, sometimes over exaggerating your movements. I also wonder if the tire grooves play any role in this. The initial lean looks like it lines up with the grooves on either side of the center knobby. What tire pressure do you run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder if the tire grooves play any role in this. The initial lean looks like it lines up with the grooves on either side of the center knobby. What tire pressure do you run? it is strange. I was really comfortable on the wheel before and have found the weight no problem at low or high speed. Not greatly experienced with such weight at speed but over the last week everyday I’ve been very comfortable at all speeds. The only reason I think it may be something more than a once off error is it happened to another I was chatting too, and I already experienced it. The last time i did ten speed runs and maybe two, had the heart in my mouth moment it started to track (left) those times. If it was my pads, or habits of balance I feel it would’ve reoccurred more often and not diverted to the other side this time. Conditions are good, and i was good, really was very comfy at that speed and confident to take the wheel there again. I do feel like the tyre tried to keep a line that the wheel didn’t want and it fought it out.

Gyro won Yeah, i feel like the initial lean was tire related. Definitely not saying it was your "habits of balance" that initiated it. I know you know how to balance, you have racked up like a million miles..lol It will be interesting to see what other people think about it. I'm personally just a noob so i could be missing something. Thank you for sharing it anyway and i'm glad you weren't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's the same thing I get on the Master - both are heavy wheels with flat profile knobby tyres, and although I appreciate that this is probably not the CST-186-specific over-lean problem, that ALSO does a thing where sudden changes in angle of ground contact or camber can wrench the wheel around from under you, which feels most disconcerting. I haven't fallen as a result of it yet, but have nearly done so on several occasions. I find it happens to me quite rarely; perhaps once every 5 rides or so, but I usually don't know what has caused it by looking at the surface I have just ridden over, usually concreted / paved and relatively flat. Don't get me wrong - it happens off-road a lot more, but then the cause is usually an easily identifiable tree root or what not... I wonder if this is a symptom of heavy wheels with knobby style tyres in general ? If so I would expect the V13 to do it less because its weight is better distributed than the Master.

Maybe because it has such a rounded profile along with channels that line up rather than a staggered knobby like others. I was thinking if it were inflated high it may want to follow the channels at some degree of lean. Just a thought though. I haven't able to ride mine for a few weeks so haven't had any experience with this. The small amount i did ride i usually keep the tire pressure fairly low. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience would counter that given that I still get the wrenching at the very low pressure my tyre is at - just 21 PSI. When I had it initially it was at 35, which was like a frightened horse on a frozen lake ! I couldn't stay at that pressure long enough to find out if it did it there ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahan Seer Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm sorry to hear about this crash and am glad you are ok. Its very hard to see what went wrong from the video. Could it be an issue with the geometry of the suspension getting out of whack on one side? Even if it was temporary? This has been something I have been concerned with when using a system that has separate suspension struts on each side as opposed to a linkage system which shares the suspension equally on both sides even in a failure. Hard to know if this was induced by mechanical or programming errors. It seems hard to imagine it was rider error with your experience, flat ground, sheltered, dry and sunny. But it is a big wheel which i have no experience with so only you could know if its down to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Punxatawneyjoe Posted March 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2023 Finally got mine back working again. The problem started the first day i received the wheel. I powered it on for the second time and the display didn't light up. The wheel was balancing but no display. I cycled the power 2 more times and still no display. I ended up taking it with me to work and at lunch i tried it again and it was fine. Rode it the next few days about 5-10 miles a day and when i went to power it up one morning, it had no display again. I powered it down and back up and then it stopped balancing. I informed Jason @ ewheels and he got me in touch with Inmotion service. Long story short after several tests and a few weeks the determined the main board was bad. The whole process took a few weeks but everyone involved was super helpful and Inmotion shipped me out a new board which i got today and put in. The wheel is fine now, took it for a nice 7 mile ride. I have not mentioned it because i wanted to see how everything plays out before passing judgement on the process. Jason at ewheels must have felt bad for me because he was gracious enough to send me a complimentary seat and stand along with my replacement bolts. You can't ask for more than that from a dealer. A+ customer service. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
