I started riding a unicycle when I was 10 years old. Grew up in Vegas, rode it every where!! I also juggled on it back then. Fast forward 42 years I picked up a ks16x last year. Picked up riding it within a hour. 2 weeks later I bought my Sherman max!! Also own a v11. Thanks wrong way for all the videos. You made an addict outa me!! LoL think I gotta problem!!

Just imagine going to a group ride and keeping up with them on a pedal unicycle, that would be the greatest flex tbh

36 inch acoustic unicycles are much more capable as well - plus there's a (really expensive) upgrade where you get a geared hub and then the wheel can turn 1.5 times where it formerly only turned once. So, for example, the guy who set the world record for distance in one hour I believe was averaging close to 20mph for that hour.... My experience with my 36 is that it's way less forgiving than my eucs and also much more of a workout. I think they fit different niches in my life and am happy to have both.

i don't use my pedal unicycle anymore but it was rewarding when i did. The EUC however I am enjoying more so and its also very practical.i have 3 already and just ordered a 4th wheel (T4) which i am very excited to recieve. Thumbs up!

Je suis un motocycliste à la base. Depuis 1997 ! Je pouvais faire une trentaine de km avec mon 26". Pas le clown, ni de jonglage, juste des balades. Cela fait 3 ans que j'ai quasiment arrêté pour une V10F. J'ai 50 ans...c'était une continuité logique et pour le coup très facile comme transition ! Merci pour la vidéo !

Thanks for this Adam. I have tried to explain this before. I have riden unicycles for 30 years on and off. What are now called EUC's I call an Electric Wheel. They have little in common with unicycles. Unicycles steer from your hips not from your feet and take lots of effort. As my knees age , I rarely pedal a Unicycle more than a couple times a year but ride one of my Electric Wheels several times a week. Terry Peterson aka the Unigezzer is a impressive Unicyclist to watch for many inspiring tips on KZfaq.

Thanks for highlighting “analog” unis! You are doing awesome on the pedal wheel! Like many here, my start was unicycle at 10 years old. After my childhood unicycle brother found EUC and shared, I was sold! We are SIXTY year olds on EUC!! Perfect transition and my knees say thank you! Keep up your awesome analog riding!!

love the uni, not so sure about the pants

Fun to see more people who grow up with unicycle 😊 Took me a day to learn how to find the balance on the unicycle 1980. And an hour on the euc. Euc is much more comfortable, especially in my age 😂 Keep it up Adam, when your relaxed, it will be smoother ❤

I've been riding the mountain bike tracks around here for Abbott ten years. It took quite a long time to master (still learning!) I've now started riding the tracks on my $22 and loving it. If you can ride a 'sweat powered' unicycle riding an EUC is easy. It took my neighbour and I less than ten minutes (still learning though!) I'm 60 and love riding both in the mountains. Keep practicing :)

Not the same, but riding a traditional unicycle is probably the best training for learning to ride an EUC

Lol. "My private parts weren't optimally seated."

Definitely a one way learning curve. Going from pedal unicycle to EUC transfers instantly cause your using a motor to do the work your body already knows how to do. EUC to pedal, you gotta teach your body to be the gyro motor and balance and correct for every small change in terrain. When I teach someone to unicycle I have them learn the EUC first as a stepping stone. EUC is a perfect example of machine and man working in Harmony. Outsourcing the computing power to a machine lol

Yes I’ve been called a Clown 🤡 and yes I ride both electric and human powered unicycles. Imagine an electric unicycle the size of a Penny Farthing. Speaking of Penny Farthing, have you ridden one yet?

Your so right again. A friend of mine bought an EUC and has ridden pedal unicycles before. He picked up the EUC a lot quicker than I did without previous experience on a pedal EUC

I still have a 36" pedal unicycle and 20" pedal unicycle. I like the 36" one for commuting or just going on rides for a couple of miles. I still find my electric unicycle to be more practical for getting around though.

I think people who ride EUC's are always a bit secretly curious about the Unicycle. Now then, max gradient up and down, top speed, RGB lighting?

The two ways to turn an EUC are twisting or tilting the EUC. Riders can do both, twist and tilt, like carving, slow speed tight turns, ... Body leaning is separate from EUC tilting as Wrong Way notes in his tires and turning video, showing a slow motion comparison where he is leaning about the same (due to speed and turning radius), but tilting the Z10 (middle of screen) much less than the EUC with an off road tire (right side of screen), due to the differences in camber effect response to tilt. For normal turns, the tilt angle and tire parameters translate into a turning radius that is independent of speed, unless the lateral load from a hard corner is enough to cause the contact patch to flex, increasing cornering radius (as witnessed by EUC racers scraping pedals at high speed). The amount of lean required for balance increases with speed for the same turning radius (lateral acceleration = speed squared / radius). Pedaled unicycles don't move as fast, and having a seat limits how much you can tilt a pedaled unicycle, so a rider is stuck mostly with twisting a pedaled unicycle to turn it. Twisting the pedaled unicycle by arm flailing (flail left to steer right, and vice versa) is often taught as a way for beginners to ride. Advanced riders can use pedal pressure to twist the EUC and | or limited tilt steering. I'm an old guy (almost 71 now), but still remember back in high school (1970) when a friend let me try out a pedaled unicycle for a couple of hours. I used the side of a car for mount and launch, and it only took me about 15 minutes to be able to ride. The key issue for me was to put all my weight on the seat and only use very light pressure on the pedals to avoid over-correcting forwards | backwards. Arm flailing for balance and direction wasn't an issue. I never tried free mount on the pedaled unicycle (only had it for 2 hours). I got my V8F back in August 2021, and after about 15 minutes of doing beginner drills like rock back and forth, short distance rides, I ventured away from the fence at 5 to 8 kph, using arm flailing to twist the V8F for balance and direction, able to do laps around a tennis court on my first attempt. I moved to a long straight outdoor parking lot and discovered my V8F became stable around 12 kph, where I no longer had to do balance corrections and relaxed my arms. Leaning forwards | backwards wasn't an issue. I then tried tilting the V8F, small tilts to see how it would respond, then a weave pattern, then large radius turns. Becoming proficient at tilt steering, coordinating tilt and lean, how much to tilt depending on speed and turning radius versus how much to lean took about 6 hours, which was almost a month for me at 3 days a week, 30 minutes a day.

This definitely makes me never want to claim I could pick up riding a real unicycle quickly. I still think I could do it but it would not be in a day.

It was been a so nice to see you, dude.

I rode a tradition unicycle and giraffe (6ft tall uni) in my youth and wondered if that would help or hinder learning to ride an EUC. I can say that there was almost no learning required when I received my S22. I stood on it holding onto a rail, pressed my toes onto the pedals and I was off. Had to stop to turn around the first time (across a car park) but within a couple of minutes was riding figures of 8 (albeit with 10m radius). What I am saying is that if you can ride a unicycle it won’t take you long to be comfortable on an EUC. The danger is however that 50kph on an EUC might feel out of this world. Falling at that speed might well take you out of this world! Take care 😁

there's an interesting skill ceiling for pedal unicycles, with a brake, a pedal unicycle can sometimes go down even the most technical and rowdy trails. Many technical black diamond trails could be easily cleared by a skilled mountain unicyclist, where I would never take an euc. The amount of precision and control unicycle riders (more skilled than myself) can exert is astonishing. This is also a result of not having a giant battery, and full manual control over cutout+brake gives precise dexterity. ...I wish my unicycle had a brake, and I sometimes wish one could put a brake connected to the cutout switch on an euc...

I´ve been waiting for such a video. Thanx!

Nice video! I'd been riding pedal unicycle before EUC was invented! Try 36', it's so much fun. When i first tried EUC, i didnt learn at all, it was so essential...and easy))

Get your head up, Adam, with straight back, on the uni; you're throwing your center of balance off. I had one as teen in the 70's; bought another one in my mid life crisis, and didn't remember it hurting the family jewels like that. Now I'm 64 and ride EUC's. Totally different balance centers, but knowing one will help you learn the other.

Very good comparison. That's what I wanted to see!! Thanks!!

OWEM or "One Wheel Electric Motorcycle" is probably more accurate but that would bring on a whole new level of scrutiny and legislation.

Greetings Mr wrong way!!; I am so very excited to see an analog vrs euc comparison, I learned @ 11 years old to ride unicycle and when I got my first euc I was able to basically step on and ride; as I can ride significantly better on analog than you I obviously disagree with several of ur points on comparison; I have almost 2000 km on my first euc (ks16s) with still no real crashes and will be buying more wheels in the future!; love all ur content and thanks for making this vid!!

I bought a unicycle..but even after so many months still cannot do more than 10meters...is so dam.hard...

I really appreciate this video specifically thanks to my own unicycling past. Sadly I've been having problems with my legs recently so I don't unicycle much anymore. But when I saw my first ever euc video (one of yours actually) it immediately make me wanna ride one. I watched most, if not all, of your videos over past months and I'm certain I would love it.. it's actually your videos that makes me desperately wanna have one.. just struggling to save money for one.. but euc could certainly get me back into off-roading Anyway keep up the good work!💪💪 Looking forward to your next video

bro those pants

I agreed that EUC needs less effort to ride , unicycle is just dam hard to learn .

with an euc you only have to worry about roll. with a mechanical unicycle you have pitch and roll to worry about.

Electric “motor” vs gasoline “engine”. By definition an EUC is more of a “motor” cycle then what we call a motorcycle.

Whenever someone asks me about my EUC, I don't say it's "EUC" as acronyms go in and through people's ears and never stick. I don't use the long version either. I just call them "clown cycles" (Pellepyörä in Finnish). Always gets the message across, they immeadiately understand wtf it is. 9/10 they then say "Oh yeah, it seems to have the pedals and everything there..."

It's cool that you are exploring an "analog" unicycle. I believe a pro EUC rider should have the traditional variant in their roster of skills. I am learning to ride one myself. In the world of 2-wheelers, I have done this with all kinds of bicycles, motorcycles, and the purest form, and a 52" 1890 Victor high-wheel bicycle.

This was the perfect video I’ve seen the electric probably won’t ever buy one for where I live but was always curious how they compared and I think we’re about the same level on a manual one so this was perfect thank you.

also, remember, boys and girls, the key is tight pants. you need tight pants or you cannot ride a unicycle.

What the hell are those trousers/pants you are wearing Adam, they look like pyjamas

You mentioned there are more things to learn on an EUC than on a unicycle. Could you give some examples ?

I think thats something that makes euc even more amazing, it takes something incredibly difficult and makes it much more accessible to an average person, although eucs aren't necessarily easy either.

Might have to get me an analog Unicycle now too!

Nice explanation video!

How can I trust a person who wears pants like this? 😂

I have 1000 miles experience on pedal unicycles and 4000 miles on electric and IT IS SIMILAR. I agree electric is much easier (perhaps 60% easier) but the hip movements and the leaning to turn is exactly the same. I suspect you do not have enough experience on pedal to see the difference.

I think what people when they say it's similar is they are referring to balancing it

1:26 somebody robbed a bank in the background

I wish a cooler name than "electric unicycle" stuck for these devices.

Excellent content as always, thanks to the fact that I already knew how to ride a pedal unicycle, the electric one was easy for me, but the higher speed is another matter :D I have inmotion v12HS with 1500km+ and I'm not complaining yet :)

Motor + bicycle = motorcycle Motor + one wheel = Motorwheel Electric + Wheel = Electrowheel

Great video!, next time maybe take different pants xD they really stand out🤣

i don't think i've seen you wear those pants in Poland. That would be a risky move i guess. Glad you can do that in Canada without being threatened.

Nice!!

awesome video Adam but i was half expecting you to ride off on the euc pushing the unicycle like some mad bicycle hybrid ... thing lmao"!!!

Adaś Ty już na stałe w Kanadzie ?

Consider that extreme unicyclists most common injury is balls related

Wiesz może jaka opona miejska do veteran sherman s?

Same for bike trials vs motorbike trials :) totally different riding/control/experience

what jacket is that?

No way.......yeah, it's simple.....whheeennnn you've learned to balance the e.u.c.

no way no how I'm ever going to be able ride a non electric unicycle. I can't wheelie a pedal bike/bicycle or motorcycle but I feel like motorcycle I can learn but bicycle I have no hope. meanwhile took me 10 15 minutes to stop falling over on my sherman. And boom 3600km's now with smiles and smiles.

Nice!

Agree 100%

IMPRESSIVE SIR...😊

It’s a mono electric self balancing fun machine…wheel

I saw a kid doing this a while back lol

I’m impressed

Right, it is not a unicycle. It is an Electric Ultimate Wheel. See the analog version here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br2CrdSdzZmbYmw.html

Yo, those leggings are legit!!! Where did you get them from?

Insane

I thought you didn't want to ride without suspension anymore...😅

Nah they are the same. The original one just requires pedaling and tucking your balls out of the way.

wow! You are the worlds greatest detective👮‍♂

⚡👏🏼👏🏼⚡

Not the first, but at least second 🤘

Those pants are loud.,.

BTW now that you're on Canada you can try to show unicycles to Linus tech tips, he had a video of it of the first one where it really resembled a unicycle. Don't know if he is aware of the state of it right now or just doesn't want to show it on videos due to the lack of qc

🤙🤘🧡

Is that the new S23?😅😅😅

Merci !

🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

What's the point of this video?

political dump.

This channel is…not what it used to be😔

Where can I get that suit you’re wearing in the intro?

Paddled uni seems much safer. Electric one balances but what if there is some disconnect or something’s shakes loose while you ride. Is there any kind of mechanical backup to slow you down and let you to eject safely? Or it’s just face forward straight to the tarmac?

I ride EUCs but I don't know how to ride a unicycle

Are those girl pants?

Nice pants. I'll pass on the analog version it's s22 for me lol
