help ! my begode a2 cutouts when turning on the front light
@ChrisH0Y2 күн бұрын
I have a Master Pro V3 - 127 lbs. 5000w motor, 4,800wh battery. 3,000 miles so far in the last 6 months. I do drills every morning in my driveway. Left circle, Left small Circle, Right Circle, Right Small Circle. Figure 8. Do it all 5 times. Then do it all backwards. Then I do walking speed forward, then shift and ride backward without getting off the wheel, then shift forward again without getting off. Do it 5 times. Then narrow the distance until you do a slow pendulum - this is hard to do on a big heavy wheel, but can be done with enough practice. Then I do quick accelerations and stops, then I do sits. Stand up, Sit down while in motion. By doing these daily drills, I have overcome any issues with big wheel riding, and gain all the advantages (range, big battery cut-out buffer, enjoy all speed boosts and accelerations without worry, and hill climbs through the entire ride.) It's definitely worth it.

you need to normalize for the angle between the ground and a line going from the contact patch to the outer edge of your foot on the pedal. if you don't normalize this between large and small wheels you have no idea how much the size is affecting things. In fact it's actually that this angle is almost always larger that is making them hard to turn. In a sort of way you have less leverage. It's the same thing that makes pedals lower to the ground feel like they allow you to maneuver better. Also technically other leaning strategies exist which kind of complicates measuring things because it depends on how you doing things. There are ways to learn to shift your weight that cause less discomfort and allow a larger lean.
@AdamU10163 күн бұрын
@@Dogo.R My previous pads before the Teprides pads were much wider so they never really allowed me to lean at a strong angle. When I would stop, my balancing leg was basically free and not locked in by the pads. When it came time to mount again, I ended up trying to reposition both legs for an adequate lean. This process took too long and did not give me enough momentum to move forward and balance because gravity from the steep hill angle basically kept the wheel at an almost standstill with 2 opposing forces cancelling each other out. Trying to balance on a wheel at standstill was indeed quite difficult. When I tried Isaac’s technique of a locked in leg already engaged on the pedal, all I had to do was kick off strongly while the other locked in leg was already engaged in a lean. Once the kicking leg became planted and locked in on the other side, I was already at a great enough speed to move forward.

Have you ever thought of trying to carry a small EUC in a backpack, while riding a big wheel? I don't know how carrying 28-40lbs in a backpack would affect riding the EUC. Purpose would be to park-store the big wheel in the destination and move around with the small wheel. I think that would be for those who want to avoid using a car? Otherwise most would have a small EUC in their car "at all times" or something like that. A big heavy wheel in a car might not fit or be as convenient. Yet I guess some do carry more than one wheel in their cars. I say: lucky them, compared to those who don't have a car or an EUC.

Great review. I really want to get into the EUC world. I am looking hard at the A2 (I guess the A2+ is the one with the 50S batteries). I want something as a beginner that I can ride for at least a couple/few years, thinking 20 mph is plenty for me. What do you think about the Mten5? That is the other wheel I am looking at. They are both very similar it seems to me. Any input would be greatly appreciated from you or anyone else reading this. I was also thinking of starting with the Inmotion E20 but am scared that it would be a waste of money, starting with that and having to buy something else within weeks. I also like the Falcon but the cost versus it being my first wheel, I don't know. Thank you and safe riding. (I'm 52 by the way 🙂)

Hi Adam, I've been watching many of your educational videos on how to fall and safety. Your contribution is appreciated. I want to ask your experience regarding tire size and suspension as for a more stable and comfortable (and safer) ride. It is my impression that bigger heavier wheels are more stable in general? For slow speeds (like 20mph or less even), and in uneven and rough terrains (such as your fall on those cobble stones) would you say the big heavy wheels (those that are 20inches and 100lbs or more such as the V13, ET Max, GT Pro, S22 pro etc.) provide a more stable ride and eat bumps and imperfections and potholes much better than any other wheels? I am not talking about tricks, jumps, and fast riding. I am thinking not only of general riding but going through a field for example, riding on grass, roads with stones, etc. Also those big wheels seem like the best candidates for seated riding. Wish you well.
@AdamU101615 күн бұрын
@@segundacuenta726 Thanks for the kind words. The big wheels are more stable for long rides. Seated riding is amazing on my V13. You will also absorb well the imperfections of the road such as bumps and gravel. When I am going slower that is when the V13 really is at a disadvantage. At slow speed maneuvering is not as nimble. Starting from zero speed on a hill is also cumbersome. The end torque is less on the bigger wheels so climbing uphill or when going slowly on grass can be a struggle. Wobbles can also be scary with the bigger wheels but I have adapted my riding style now to prevent wobbles. You will use more thigh and core muscles versus riding the smaller wheels such as when I had my Nikola. Do I love my V13? Absolutely. I just need to get better pads than what I currently have and I am sure hills will be much more manageable. Riding style has to be adapted too to really appreciate a big wheel. My next video will actually be about challenges of a big wheel. As soon as I can get some free time I will be working on this next project.

@@AdamU1016 Nice, looking forward to your video on big wheels. There are so many new models coming up it's crazy! Also it would be awesome if you eventually make a video on the 3 "main" sizes: Small (portable, even for backpacks) such as the mten4, mten5, Medium (such as the Falcon or Extreme) and Big (for speed, long ranges, or ultimate comfort). Apart from that I'd be very much interested in what wheels are comfortable walking with (using the trolley handle or some other invention). I mean for walking for miles with the wheel. That is because some of us like talking a walk, and the wheel would allow one to get to a place where one would take a walk, but can't leave the wheel there. For small wheels it is possible to fit in a backpack but that has its limitations (weight and how fit and willing one is to walk carrying weight). So for the bigger wheels the only option is walking together with the wheel, but I have not seen this covered anywhere. Specially since those who use PEVs walk even less or stop walking altogether lol... It would be nice if you covered the necessity for walking as a functional and healthy part of life. Cheers

What are your thoughts on jogging (10km p ) and running (20km ph)? Never saw anyone run wearing a helmet. Also millions of people ride bikes with no protection or just a bike helmet. I think that training how to jump from the wheel and how to fall are important. For speeds lower than 20km ph many people dont wear any protection or just 1 piece (either helmet or gloves-wrist guards for example). It is not unreasonable to me. It is up to the individual. While it is true that riding anything is riskier than walking and running, to be protected from all possible things would be too much (for example eye visor for unexpected branches, which can take poke your eyes), hips, back, ribs, etc. By that I mean just the regular helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads dont cover everything and it can be a teaching moment when you fall at slow speeds and hit a spot not covered by the gear... So, in my opinion, higher speeds are definitely more dangerous, also those involve exposure to cars. Even with gear, an accident going 60km ph or 80km ph, can get you broken stuff. To me, higher speeds make as much as gear as possible mandatory. Slow speeds not. Being aware and not filming oneself and goofing around make a difference... Part of the advantage of the wheel is having both hands free, which is negated when carrying a stick (add to that talking and checking the speed which take concentration OFF the road). Please know I appreciate your videos and input, you are a nice refreshing contribution to the EUC world. Cheers

@@segundacuenta726 I think at least from my experience that the number one cause of an accident when riding is distraction. So many people get easily distracted. I am guilty of that myself too. I had cracked my rib when I fell on the side after a pedal clip when I was riding my KS18L 5 years ago. I was preoccupied while riding slowly and did not notice the bridge I was crossing had side supports that protruded on the path. That fall hit my ribs hard. I actually had a few milliseconds to think to not put my hand out to prevent a possible wrist fracture. I thought that by just falling on the side I could avoid any injuries. Unfortunately, my ribs felt the brunt of the impact. Since then in 2019, I studied some basic Parkour moves should similar falls occur. It wasn’t too far from what I knew from my youth since I am a black belt in TaeKwon Do and also was taught judo techniques. The safety fall just needed to be modified for landing on concrete. We can get hurt no matter what our speed is. When I ride slowly I sometimes don’t wear a helmet but always wear wrist guards. For faster rides, full gear all the way. Other key things to consider are situational awareness. It is also just as important to learn to fall properly as well as mastering the EUC.

I just started to take whey protein in order to help my muscles to grow because in the beginning my legs BURN.

@@EUC_Senior It’s not uncommon to get wobbles when you first start out. Especially with the wheels being so much bigger and faster now. Fatigue definitely can precipitate a wobble. I get that too when my legs are sore. Seated riding will quell those wobbles. I never had a wobble with seated riding. Basically the more you ride the stronger and durable your legs will be. You will also learn so many tricks such as carving that can help prevent wobbles. Carving can be mini and doesn’t have to be wide. Deep squatting to slow down as well as accelerating can also get rid of wobbles. Just do more riding. You will get the hang of it.

@@archmagus1510 I love my A2. I weigh 200 lbs and it can move me around with ease. I don’t go more than 32 kmh (20 mph) just to be on the safe side. You can set the PWM to 80% and you will be fine. Between the A2 and T4 you will have more buffer with the T4 before reaching cutout. The T4 has a bigger battery and stronger motor so it will move you around better as well as less chance of cutout if you decide to be aggressive in riding. Can the A2 handle you with your 230 lb weight? Of course it can. However, in terms of safety, you will have more buffer capacity with the T4 as stated earlier. You mentioned about the 25 kmh and greater than 25 kg weight as a limitation before needing insurance so with that criteria the A2 will fit the bill. With regards to the speed limitation by your country, the greater speed capability of the T4 just means it will be safer and your country doesn’t have to know that it can easily go over 30 mph. However, the T4 is heavier at 32 kg so you won’t be able to hide that spec. The main caveat with the A2 is just to stay under 20 mph and don’t be too aggressive in your riding. The A2 is very portable and can easily fit in a regular gym locker too. So if you want a wheel for mellow rides, then the A2 is perfect. I have the InMotion V13 when I really want to ride aggressively. If you want something you can be aggressive with and not spend too much, then the T4 would be for you.

This wobble has something to do with the tire. I don’t ride an euc yet and it’s just because of the wobble. But I had this problem happening on my car, yes that’s right, I owned a Suzuki Samurai and I bought some cheap non-quality tires, I must tell you the moment I hit 55mph that wobble was insane, my steering wheel was all over the place, I didn’t know then what this is so I went to the car shop to fix it, they inspected the car and I exchanged some parts but the wobble wouldn’t disappear no matter what I’ve done, until I changed the tires, now I have a second Suzuki Samurai, I bought it with descent tires but at 55mph I felt slight wobble, no so much than with the first Samurai but it was there, NOW, I bought a set of 4 brand new YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR A/T, man, the Smurai rides smooth like a charm. I think the tire must be correctly weighed (centred) like car tires are when mounted.
@AdamU1016Ай бұрын
The rapid decrease that occurs when we slow down on the EUC slightly changes the direction of the wheel of travel. That small change in direction will initiate the wobble. When we try to quell it by purposely trying to balance out the asynchrony only worsens the wobble. Lower psi will help decrease the wobble. However, with the EUC’s one wheel there are other ways to help decrease the wobbles. Carving riding helps decrease the chance. Having your feet askew vs symmetrical will cause a mini carving when you ride. Wobbles are more likely to happen when you slow down from a great speed. Ways to dissipate the wobble are a deep squat or do seated riding. Accelerating will also eliminate the wobbles.

Only freak accident I see in this video is that yard sign flying into you. All other examples you have shown in the video are rider errors and preventable. If you get caught in heavy rain, and you don't feel comfortable riding on main road, get on the sidewalk or wait it out under a bridge/tree. No, you don't have to keep going. It's better than crashing and getting run over by a car. If you rear end another rider, you are riding too close to the riders in front of you. A lot of people who have a bad habit of tailgating think they can stop or go around the vehicles in front of them in emergency situations, but all they will do is crashing into whatever is in front of them. Getting sideswiped by a parked car merging into your lane, you are riding too fast for your ability to avoid merging car. Just because your lane is open and you have right of way does not mean it is safe to go as fast as you can. You have to be aware of your surrounding and ride accordingly. Crashing because you rode over a mud patch that is clearly visible...why would you go over a mud patch if you can avoid it?

The accidents I showed were not really freak accidents but were due to rider error and road rage car drivers but then after all my web search these were the best I could get on a rider riding a wheel or wheels. My key point was to always be aware and alert and have video evidence should it come down to a legal or insurance issue. In my case, if I were really litigious and had a serious outcome, my lawyer would be putting a call out to that company listed on the sign. The company would have “lots of splaining to do”. 😂

I appreciate the message about safety in the full video but am uneasy watching you ride at 2 occasions without protective gear in the beginning. It distracts from and contradicts the whole point. Especially since it's in an area where emergency vehicles will drive, possibly under heavy stress and time pressure, I don't get it.

You are right. I should have worn gear. I was just trying to recreate my usual YT intro and it does send a mixed message. My bad. If you watched the whole video and especially at the end, you will see that I wear the whole full gear when I ride on the streets. That is my usual look.

Been riding since 2019 always in hardmode and not too fast, dont get much instability. Used to work on a forklifter, and when you hit a hole in the ground it would bounce a whole lot for several seconds and more violantly if one panicked and reduced the speed suddenly, but instead applying sudden controlled burst of acceleration would re-stabilize it in like 1/3rd the time.

I have never tried the rapid acceleration approach but I will have to try that sometime. Enjoy your rides!

Dont forget speeding up helps too! If you have the room that is!

Wobbles are certainly scary. Glad you got out of it!

Yeah it caught me off guard. This was right after the cop stopped me. I was still shaken from the encounter so it affected my train of thought when I tried to slow down. I was also concerned about a possible car near me.

I happen to have this cheap mirror, originally made for handlebar mounting, but the vibrations were too strong there and often knocked it off. I just tried mounting it on a helmet visor like you have, the issue is the cheap mirror does not have a way to tighten how it attaches to the band, there's a screw, but it only adjusts tightness of one arm to the next, the arm to band joint does not have any adjustments and is just attached and too lose on vibrations. I'd have to put some maple syrup or hack to make it 'sticky' and not rotate as much. Thanks for the idea on how to attach a mirror on the helmet visor though
