21 minute video about euc cut off.. You know Adam is going to go in to great detail! This helps me out understand euc logic much better! The animations were great :D

I came back here after cutting off my Msuper V3S+ with the 2000w motor (basically a preproduction MSX 84v). I wasn't full gear for the first time in months because I was just strolling along but I somehow decided to accelerate as hard as possible. The wheel indicated 64%, but according to EUC it dipped below 50% before cutting off. I topped around 55 km/h (which is the safe top speed above 70-80% ) and fall to my demise. My elbows and knees are looking like pizzas, else nothing is broken. I couldn't sleep due to the pain for the first two nights ... All the gear all the time guys. Only once is sufficient... Let my pain serve you.

Unusual cutoff situation - Your a light rider, powerful wheel, warm day, 90% charge on your battery, downhill, no wind. Your edging up the speed gently, faster and faster. - because its downhill, your not demanding too much from the battery, or the motor, or the controller, in fact you may not be charging or depleting your battery at all. Completely safe - NO. In fact you may hit the maximum speed for the controller and you will be off. The controller has a maximum speed rpm that it can turn the wheel, that's why it cuts off when you lift it off the ground. I believe that it is not too much faster than the top speed quoted for the EUC and its the prime reason why hitting a bump at speed can result in a cut off. You did mention this but I thought I would emphasis the point.

im recommending this video to all new riders, it covers all the questions asked, excellent job with this video.

Wow thanks for doing this video. This is well needed in our community. Great job and simple to understand. 😎👍🏾

This is such an important video, and very well made. i just began riding an euc approximately one week ago, and i must say that i didn’t think that i could learn to ride an euc before i committed to learning. i used a shopping cart 🛒 and practiced until i could ride without the use of holding onto the shopping cart. this video has helped me to understand how important it is, to be aware of all of the things you have mentioned in your video. thank you so much for making great videos! keep up the great work! i can see why the euc community is expanding and growing exponentially each and every day. for anyone thinking about riding an euc, i would say that for me, it had nothing to do with anything related to thinking about how to ride, and everything to do with muscle memory, and just practice practice practice. my body became use to the feeling of riding and then i was able to ride an euc just from practicing. i also noticed the first few days i was using muscles that i had not used in a long time, but after a few days of riding, my legs do not get as fatigued as they first did. im also looking forward to utilizing a seat very soon. a very comfy seat =)

Thank you so much, you are doing a huge service to the community. When you mentioned 11 things we can do to prevent cut-offs I thought I would already know them all , but I didn’t and learned a couple of new measures. I’m a pro Hang glider pilot, and airplane private pilot too with over 10,000 hours of flying experience and lost too many friends already ( due to silly mistakes and poor safety attitude) after flying for 25 years. Had my own share of near misses and near fatal accidents (on hang-gliders). Safety is paramount. Got into EUCs a month ago and fell in love with it. (Riding a KS16X with about 200 miles on it) love your channel.

To bad I didnt check put this video before I, yes, fell flat on my face going 40 mph with no pads and hurt my knees extremely bad..going full speed still leaning forward. Now that I know I cant wait to get back on my wheel! I love it!

Thank you. I’ve just bought a 18XL after overpowering my V8 and ended up with multiple sprains. (Even fully geared up) My new motto is ‘don’t go above 75-80% of the wheels capabilities’

bought my first wheel 10 days ago, KS16x, Ive clocked up 200km already and just want to say thank you for all your very informative KZfaqs.

Thank you for this video! I managed to reach 41.4 kph with my Mten3 keeping all the parameters under constant check!!! All the best!!!

Wish i would have watch this video before today’s experience. Enthusiastic one week old rider, with a ninebot z6 (2nd hand) and a battery at 50%, a strong acceleration ended in a nasty crash after 100m due to cut off. Thanks to your video i know now what to look into so to know my wheel better, progress…and certainly look into a wheel better fitting my profile:) one of my mistake: cutting off alarm as i can’t yet differentiate speed alarm from tilt/warning one..but luckily your advice 11 is already a reflex for me (otherwise i wouldn’t be able to write this;).

Damn, This is exactly what is putting me off getting one of these is that cut off, I seen people come off, An i know it would proper suck coming off one of these at speed, I am going too research a bit more on these electric unicycles, The portability is a bonus for me, Will be looking into it a bit more, But i will say you is the first too come out with this one as far as i know, An sharing it, Even better, Nice one bro......

The most important part of EUC gear is not mentioned: wrist guards. When cut-off happens, you are almost guaranteed to hit your hands first when falling. That's especially important when going over 60km/h on EUC no one has tested before, Adam. The helmet is important, obviously, but so are the wrist guards. Certainly more important than back protection, especially when you are riding with a backpack.

Great video. I just ordered my first EUC and I have been thinking about safety. This video has helped me understand what I need to look out for so I can still have a good time and be safe.

Really useful video Adam. Cut offs are a lot clearer to me now. Thank you & Stay Safe! 🙏

Thanks for this informative video.. As a new rider I'm soaking up and much info as I can to apply to my daily rides. I appreciate your breakdown.

As a newb rider early on, I tried picking up speed in my first ride hours. Got alot of beeping-but I ignored it. I knew I was nowhere near it's top speed. I wobbled, and went flying ahead of my ride. Onto my keys and phone, which made a big knot in my front pocket (lesson learned! Smh). Had a sharp pain in that hip socket, but I was good after 3-4 days... While not riding, I did some fooling around with the app-found I was riding with the beginner limiter on! I wiped out at SEVEN MPH....LMAO Good thing I was alone I'm a warehouse.... Newbs should fight the urge to hop on soon as they get their first unit. Learn the app. Look at videos like this one first. And don't pack stuff in ur pants pockets. Lol

I absolutely love your hand graphics, they make it so real as is all your video reporting! Thank you

Thanks for making this and going into depth! Every EUC rider should understand these things.

Great video for E-riders and All devices. WELL DONE SIR!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I'm just getting into the EUC sport, and don't have anyone to guide me, so I really appreciate these informative videos, especially about such important topics!

Excellent video as always 😊 the battery/motor/controller usage is what I have wanted explaining in simple terms for a while now. Cheers buddy

I love this video and now I understand much better what to do not to get a cut off. I've had it twice and now I was a bit scared. But this video has made me trust my euc again. Driving is really addictive. Thank you very much Adam!

Very helpful and detailed video, specially the incredibly “technical” drawings of how an EUC works in the beginning of the video! Hahaha

I'm starting on uec, I got 64v Mcm5, I've done 400km in 30 days, and one day my wheel tilt front, now I learn it was not a tilt but cut off, I was lucky enough not to fall, but to control, never more. I love uec. Thx

Thanks a lot for your great inf. For me was very informed before getting involved. Thanks again and ride safe.

My starter wheel is arriving tomorrow, I have to learn this crucial information.

Nice video Adam. Very informative. Keep it up 👍🏾

Well said man! Thank you for caring for others. It may seem corny, but it's what people need to do for each other.

Great video as always, it helps to all the riders to understand how prevent an accident!! What a beast!!!

really good video Adam! after a cut out my riding change! i feel lucky i made it out! also the Nikola.keep them coming👌🏻

Ive been riding EUC for 3 years now. Ride your EUC within limits, and the EUC will not face plant you. Think of your EUC as like a horse. Treat your horse well and your horse will treat you well.

I am just watching this video after your accident which caused by what you described here. Thanks God you are safe

awesome stuff, Adam! Super useful! TONS of helpful advice and info! Can't say thank you enough ;p

Nice video on cut-offs! Definitely some goods pointers there! Still waiting for my camera to make my video on the cut off I recently had lol. This does help give me ideas for it, thanks!

It’s WW that i find offers invaluable info not just for me but the industry as a whole. I haven’t entered yet, but my body is too old to face consequences of an industry that’s growing in stability and technological safety factors until it becomes a truly smooth machine where motor, battery and controller are completely in harmony. This video was done in 2020 i believe, it’s 2023, what is WW’s take on the transformation of the quality of the machine and how much more before euc’s becomes a perfect commuter where only ignorant rider error causes crashes.

Hard braking is a necessary option, not for laughs but to safely facilitate a fast stop when an unexpected need to stop happens.

should have watched this BEFORE I ate that delicious 30mph(48kph) pavement sandwich... -_- Great video! now I know. *checks bank account to see if he can afford a faster wheel*

Great video!!! 👍👍 from my experience on my msx 84volt I got a cut out trying to brake and then accelerate fast on a 70% battery flew off like superman going about 32mph. That was my first fall in 2 years

A public utility video. Thank you WrongWay ! :)

I had my Inmotion cutoff at 25mph while going a little downhill after riding about 20 miles and at 120 degree fahrenheit motherboard. In my case, the battery was about 25%, but the indicator was giving the yellow red indication when accelerating. I decided to accelerate too hard and then hit a minor bump in the road. The combo of low power, high accel, high temp, and the bump overlimited and shutoff. I flew down asphalt with minor protective gear about 20-30 feet. Ripped up my chest, nipples, back, about 2 feet of my thigh to left back, elbows to the bone, knees, and tore a tendon in my leg. Oh and I hit my head 4 times rotating with a bike helmet...meaning I hit my face on the asphalt on rotation 3. Now...if I go over 15mph on anything other than flat road I'm wearing full face helmet, minor armor jacket/pants, and hard plastic hands/elbows/knees if any crazier than that.

Hey, never knew that. Thanks. Also I appreciate the drawings. Made my day.

Thank you for the information, your help is more than appreciated 🙏

Great advice, I am upgrading to a faster wheel!

Thanks Adam. I was super worried about the limits since I'm a new EUC rider, and my EUC (the InMotion V11) doesn't have a crazy high top speed, and I'm a heavier rider, and I plan on riding it even in the winter, and my 9 mile commute each way has some big hills, so I'm expecting a lot lower performance. I wasn't sure whether the alarms would adjust automatically to those conditions or not. It's a relief to hear that they will.

Awesome video! Thanks.

I love this video. Everything you mentioned I have been doing since I started riding . Another thing I wanna add is to always pay attention. Always stay focused no matter what. I have been lucky enough that I have not fallen off my unicycle or have a cut off yet. I will definitely keep implementing or everything you stated in the video.

Got a cutoff in gdansk with my nikola at 58kmh...result one arm broken. Never had such issue with my v10f (I miss the loud warning "please slow down"). Take care guys and thank you for this video !!! Good job.

You are crazy driving EUC! 😈😷👍🏻

thanks bro, these things would be too dangerous without a community

Good facts but I would add something. I think quick pullback is not a good solution near top speed, in quick pullback the EUC needs to momentarily accelerate and achieve higher speed. I think its better to smoothly pullback so the EUC power / speed would not reach limits. In most of the cases the smooth driving style prevents a lot of cut offs because the EUC will let you know in advance either by tiltback, feeling or ALARM. Also I think when driving at higher running speed a full face helmet is needed and wrist guards are also very important. You get bruises on knees and body but healing a broken wrist or jaw, teeth is a different story. When falling at higher speed a faceplant happens and the standard bike helmet doesnt give the desired protection.

Just had my first cutoff... I doubt it will be the last because even though I could have gotten seriously hurt I refuse to give up. Gotway MSX 84V at 35 mph in 40° F temperature. My gear saved my life. Leatt 3df airfit chest elbows and shorts. With a MIPS helmet.

good thing about being 54 kg.. can race up a 30 degree hill at 50 kph on the 18XL with a headwind and max out at 1600W of power

I don't think motorcycle gloves are as important as proper wrist guards. Wrists\forearms are the body parts you will fracture first when falling forward. IMO wrist guards are the first piece of gear you have to get.

Thanks for a great list of tips from a beginner Tesla rider.

very useful advice. thank you so much.

Great Video Adam; you provide a great detail of information for new and experienced riders. Question for you: I have the last alarm set on my MSX. At 100 percent battery the wheel will beep and warn you at near top speed. Will the EUC beep at an earlier speed if the battery power is lower? Keep up the great videos pal, thanks!

Thank you for this video I'm thinking about getting into this...I'm going for the KS18XL 😁

Great freakin video man very informative Wish I could give 2 thumbs up

Wouldn’t it make sense if the manufacturer made it so when you recharge your battery that it always allowed for a regenerative breaking buffer and the 100% from a wall socket was only in fact 90-95%? This could be an option in the set up of the machines for people that need to use it, eg they live at the top of a large hill.

So basically escooters are better than euc un terms of safety

Thanks for your great videos.. I'm about to get my first EUC after riding OneWheels for almost two years..I want to get the new Gotway RS.. Trying to decide between the high speed and high torque versions.. do you know which is safer (which has a greater buffer for avoiding cut outs at speed)? The high speed version with higher rpms or the high torque version with greater torque? Thank you

I don’t see this video before i break my wrist. But does it change anything? I don’t k’now. The EUC needs more guys like you to prevent and explain what that it’s all about. Thank you for the vidéo and vive la roue

Great job!!!

Thanks man that was Amazing ...thanks for the info

Very informative thank you👍🏾

Very good video thanks

Oh Boy you just put it right

Good to know before driving my Airwheel X3.

I just had a cut off with 62,8 (40%) With my gotway msp 100v Thanks god Everything is fine !!! 💪🙏

This video is 3 years late for me and for my shoulder. Cut off with my Msuper V3, I think too much accelerate with not much battery. Anyway thanks for it, there is concepts that I didn’t know.

Good video, thank you 🙏 😎👍

Great info thanks!

tnx man, goodtoknow video

Thank you great video.

Thank you 👍

Nr 6 & 7 are perfect for new riders - most people dont get "why they should start with a high performance EUC" :)

Great video. Did this the wrong way around though. Decided to cut off before. Watching with a fractured wrist.... lol Don´t be me, stay safe :D

Very much satisfied with the product .

Number 11, all the gear all the time, safety is sexy

12. get better insurance, as if you fall down at above 50 km/h you'll probably not be able to work for a while, but you'll have to pay a lot to heirs of people smashed by your rolling EUC.

i like tilt back better on EUC than on Onewheel. 1. bc the sound for others to hear. 2. for continued tilt back instead of "eat shit and die" option and finally 3. for added trust when riding

Thank you! I have a question for you about overheating. I live in South Florida where it is hot and humid and a couple of days ago while out on my z10 The vehicle temperature was 122°F. I believe I read where the optimal temperature is 104° on Segway’s website. I don’t see how I could ever keep it at 104° or below in Florida. Am I riding safe or dangerously? I have over 600 miles now logged, and my vehicle temperature is always above 104.

Hello, man! I want to learn how to cause an explosion by falling on my face. Could you add an animation of that?

Just got to enjoy a cut-off hitting an unseen pothole while accelerating from a stop behind a vehicle at a red light. Car went over pothole, I went through pothole, EUC did not desire the acceleration request + overcoming pothole adversity despite having over 80% battery and politely got out of the way of my body and the ground. Low speed cut-off sucks and makes the body land knee first onto the ground.

Breaking with a full battery shouldn't be too hard to fix for the manufacturers. Just add a reasonably sized resistor where to dump the energy. The resistor wouldn't have to be that big, just so much that it can take one hard breaking for emergency situations. Once the resistor heats up too much it should prevent riding till it cools down.

I have a small wheel it is a ninebot s2 I actually didn't know that you can cut off by braking hard I'll be carefull even to this ! Nice video and that wheel is a beast 70km/h wow 😂 Eventually I would be interested to wrapping my wheel do you think any downside? And I saw winglets on a video there are a way of making something similar ?

Great video man ,, this is very helpful.. I just ordered a Nikola plus , bt they shipped it locked was wonderful do you know how to unlock my unicycle

watching this after my first euc cut off

Hey!! not sure if anyone will see this but nobody is talking about the watts, amps, volts during a ride, what should I keep a eye on besides the speed if I know I’m pushing my wheel too hard?? Let’s say I accelerate up a hill not getting close to top speed but my watts are high, volts are high, and possibly amps , what stats should I keep my eye on to see if I’m pushing any one of those that will cause a cutoff?? Thanks for the info! Great video

Can you do a video on wheel settings? I'm clueless on what's appropriate for my MSX and my Tesla. Im noticing with the (EUC) app I'm using that I can set 3 different beeps. I tend ride at a faster pace so I'm unsure how to set those 3 beeps levels. On my Tesla I have tilt back set at 29mph and on my MSX it's set at 39mph. Im looking for that sweet spot level to set tilt back at without experiencing a cut off. Any advice on wheel settings for a person that wants to go fast but dont want to over push it would be appreciated.

…good show. Maybe mention that cut off while braking means the battery is switching into re-charge- wise Fire alert!!!_ haha ( newbies beware)….

one question, if my EUC has a 30 MPH max speed, and I set it to 25 MPH limit in phone software like kingsong S18, will that be safer too? because normally I dont push the EUC to max speed, not even 20 MPH most of the time.

Hello wrong way! I hope to get my Msp soon and because I live on a mountain and always have to brake a lot when I go on a ride, I asked the seller what to do there. he said that at least gotway msp has overcharge protection for the batteries !? Nice Video!

I'm still gonna stack it bro but thanks for lookin out.

Correct me if I’m wrong, is it good idea set your unicycle like 10% to 15% below the manufacturer top speed in order to 100% avoid cuts off (when cruising) ? I have and V10F and it was set to 38km/h maximum with tilt back at 36km/h so I never push it over boundaries I think, right?

thank adam you explication is very whel and necessary,talk to bonheur sur scene do it the samethig in french, he doesn,t care about security like you

Hello Adam, where did you find your wrist mirror visible at 20min 39sec ? Thanks

I had start using Bluetooth speakers on my helmet and I'm always connect with gps in my phone and I'm setting speed limit warning. So now I never miss beeping, because before, wiht higher speed and helmet on my head, I've always miss it. Very low cost gadgets for safe riding. I'm recommending it a lot. Good luck to all 👍
