Okiiashi Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm still new to the EUC world. I own a Future Motion Onewheel and just got this Kingsong 16X. I was loading up my wheels into my jeep to ride around this golf course and I made a serious mistake picking up the 16x by the handle and tire. With the EUC off the tire free spun while I lifted up it up by holding the handle and the tire with each hand. I thought I had just wedged it in there like a pinch feeling... But when I went back to grab my water bottle I hand blood coming faster out of my index and middle finger! How do you guys lift your wheels into your car for transport?

Planemo Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Yep, I am sure you aren't the first to do this and won't be the last! I did it when I unboxed my first wheel - V5F. Had a nasty pinch but luckily it wasn't a gusher. Hurt like hell though. Never done it again since. Now I always grab the handles of my EUC's and the bottom of the hingeplate (where the footplate is held on). I lift it this way quite often as I load it in the car on its side, as well as carry out preventative maintenance such as tyre pressure checks on my bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handle and bottom of the foot plate. Kingsong pedals have a nice piece that sticks out unlike Gotway pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esso Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have a nice gouge in my thumb when I picked up my first wheel (Tesla) this way. It's deep valley of missing flesh that'll never go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Bon Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Yep been there done that Live and learn 🤗😣😥😁 Don't be surprised if your wheel makes you bleed again And again It's yr sacrifice to the addiction that is EUC riding Small price to pay for the fun factor 🤩 Edited August 28, 2019 by Gaz Bon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okiiashi Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Wow! I'm glad I'm not the only one now. I'm still new to the EUC game so I thought it was a common sense thing and I just messed up. I learned real quick after that morning. The video from @Marty Backe is how I'm gonna do it from now on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
