StyleTang Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm just concern about nineBot Z have potential Ergonomics issue. as i'm 165cm height. due to Ninebot Z is always under pressure on the inside of the leg. if keep long-term ride Z over 8000KM or more (like 2,0000 KM) then will lead to X-legs or O-legs. as i ride EUC like 60KM per day during weekend. so i'm very concern this potential issue, can you help to clarify if Z have such potenial Ergo issue or not? i checked with some experience friends who ride EUC over 2,0000 KM but before Z. someone agree , some not. appreciate your inputs. thanks. by the way, i think if you hight over 180cm then there will be not a problem.

Lukasz Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 There is NO NEED to press Your legs to the wheel ! You shall have your feet wide on the pedals, so if any case (like going uphill) you may need your knees to be closer to the top which be quite straight legs in fact.. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houseofjob Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I have no clue how people can ride the Z hugging the shell. I need to have my legs as wide as possible, almost half hanging off the side edge of the pedals, to have any chance of good turning at high speeds. @StyleTang I don’t care how long your friends have ridden EUC (worse if those miles were not on the Z, as there is no other EUC like it), that doesn’t necessarily mean they have great, dare I say ‘proper’, technique, especially if they have any issues turning with the Z at speed, which took me quite some time to finalize a readjustment in my normal EUC technique to be able to turn adeptly at speed (hint: I use a ton more tip-toes turning on the Z than on any other EUC).

Good to hear how others do it and the wide stance makes sense purely from a comfort perspective to me. (im 190cm and 78kg for reference) I am a severe over-thinker & over-researcher, so when I was first learning EUC, I was scouring all resources for foot positioning advice ...... to find not very much, besides the typical "how-to-avoid-foot-pain" type tips; nothing technical, physics/mechanics-based. After 3 years of EUC-ing now, I've found that IMHO, for true proficiency (which I myself am still trying to approach, every day, every ride), there is no 1 ideal foot placement, only the ideal foot placement for the maneuver you are trying to accomplish, be it turns, carving, slow speed, etc. In other words, to fully maximize your manipulation of the EUC, your feet really need to move be moving (legs & hips follow) with each change in maneuver. Set-it-and-forget-it feet will only get you so far with EUC (albeit, enough to ride normally), plus your feet are more vulnerable to pain from lack of motion. Don't want to make broken promises here, but I will eventually get my lazy butt to make these technique videos I've been meaning to post on my YouTube *ugh* Edited November 21, 2018 by houseofjob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StyleTang Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 how about now? if anybody have issue with fat EUC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asphalt-Cowboy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 5 hours ago, StyleTang said: how about now? if anybody have issue with fat EUC? My weight (including gear) is about 85kg (~190 lbm), shoe size EU 46 2/3 (US 12) and height ist about 194 cm (~ 76 inch), perhaps it's not an advantage in general riding EUCs. Using a tire pressure about 1,7 bar (25 psi) on the Z10 and a wide stance makes riding much more comfortable and takes away the wobbling at higher speeds.

I just bought a few extra action cameras so I can dual film my feet/legs in synch. Just need to figure out a mount/rig to film, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
