This allows me to 1.) not overlean, 2.) switch directions /pressures fairly quickly, as my back foot is stable and ready to apply different pressure, and 3.) press the hell out of the front accel pedal, even reaching over the front edge, as much as I want while the rest of my body stays balanced, I would love to see this explained in some video and maybe in slow motion. I am still learning to ride so to get my head around this would be easier with video guide. If it is possible ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulson Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hrm, I just noticed that my taillight isn't on anymore. It was definitely on when I first pulled the wheel out of its box; did I miss something in the manual about disabling it? I've tried turning on and off the headlight and the side-pattern lights, but neither one of those had an effect on the taillight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scap Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just got my V10F tonight and I had never ridden a EUC but this thing is great. I actually like the handle and thought it was supper useful. About 2 hours into learning I rode it to the corner store and got a drink and the handle was awesome for walking around the store. Things I didn't like it is tilted back hard going up a hill and forced me off while still going a pretty good speed I was fine but dropped the unit (Luckily I was able to get one of the early V10F covers so the unit is fine the pedals got a little scraped but I bet the will get pretty banged up within a month of me riding this a lot. For learning I started off in my drive way for an hour and then went to a big empty parking lot tonight and practiced for about 40 minutes before venturing out and going 10 miles. I used to wake-board and I guess I have decent balance because I didn't think I would be able to ride unassisted this fast. I kept the default limit of 25kph and that was plenty fast but I did hit the limit a few times and got beeped at. I really like this wheel but don't really have a lot of reference. Cons so far: The app is pretty bad. I write software for a living and don't understand how a company would release this. Lots of unnecessary features and the ones that should work well don't. I have an Note 8 and it did disconnect a few times. I also couldn't figure out how to get anything to play on the speakers so if anyone knows I would be interested. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got your wheel tonight and after practicing for under two hours you're riding at the limiter and heading to the store for drinks? Eh, I guess I shouldn't talk. A few hours ago I was a dude, but now I'm a sexy, professional Russian bride willing to exchange intimate photos for $4.99 each (VISA/MC accepted), and I'm apparently fluent in Russian after playing with my Babbel app for a few minutes so go figure.

I've been practicing about 20-25 minutes a day spread over the five days before I took my first proper ride to work. That way I've avoided the worst bruises and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 @em1barns just had him on the phone. The devices will be PRODUCED on the 15th of June, so that means they still need to be shipped at that point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got your wheel tonight and after practicing for under two hours you're riding at the limiter and heading to the store for drinks? There will be some talent involved, but remember: going fast and straight is the easiest thing. Then comes braking and a little bit of curves. Not much more needed for a first ride. My first ride was only after some balancing on the spot indoors (no wall/hallway to actually go some distance) and it went well. 5 attempts to step on, 2km before first stepping off (intentionally, was getting light-headed), up to 10% uphills, and stepping on on steep downwards inclines when going back (haha that was exciting). Sure, it probaby wasn't very elegant and took more time, but it worked well. Friend of mine was riding and doing an easy turn on a narrow street width after 10 or 15 minutes of practicing, and we went on a few km ride afterwards, he stepped on multiple times on a wavy forest path thing, too. EUCing is not that hard in the end. Still props to @scap, going right for it! 6 hours ago, scap said: Cons so far: The app is pretty bad.

Lol, be careful to never check the current KS or GW apps then, might give you a seizure if the top-of-the-line new IM app is bad (objectively I guess you're right, it's probably bad, but it could be much worse). 21 minutes ago, ir_fuel said: I doubt it will be by plane, considering the batteries. No batteries in passenger planes. Freight planes are A-ok. They just mostly use ships because of the costs for flying heavy, big packages.

Your brain will train a lot more in 5 20 minute training sessions than in 1 100 minute training session. depends on what you are learning. i do agree that EUC/manual unicycle you need mulitple sessions. Some things like bicycling, you can learn in one session. Usually around an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post that0n3guy Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've started to use the handle a lot. I've not used any other euc handles, but I feel like Marty was a little hard on it. I think the handle works fantastic, I can bounce down stairs, maneuver it very easily, lean it up against a wall with the handle still up (I think the rear attached ones don't like this very well)... . I'm not sure why people say its a bad handle. Its loose, but they are fixing that, that would be my only complaint. Also, Flipping it around backwards is even better for control. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
