Adam U'r vids keep getting better!

help ! my begode a2 cutouts when turning on the front light

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.

So well said!

i personally went Floatwheel OG > V5F > Sherman OG... haven't swapped since, i feel the sherman fits all situations for me

Top notch information Adam. I experienced some of the same issues on my EX20S. Stay safe out there. Thanks for sharing!

Great video - explains it all. Love the discussion of the quad muscles.

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.

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.

Have you tried that big wheel on the Canal Towpath recently? Does it make you want to ride the entire length?

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 🙂)

Great teaching and watching your friend not give up and finally get it was very satisfying. I’m like 7 days into learning ands I still can’t stay on. Not giving up tho!!! Great video!

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.

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

Do you live in NY?

Aram needed to stop looking where he wants to fall.

Oh NY! I’m in Brentwood NY. About 45 minutes from Manhattan. Looks like a good ride!

Where do I get the mirror with the arm that you finally settled on using at the end of your video from?

Thank you for this video! ❤

I am a new rider. Only around 200 miles. I notice the only time that the wheel will start to wobble is when my legs start to get tired. I normally ride in 10 to 15 minute intervals while I am on my breaks at work and ride around the industrial park. I just started to take whey protein in order to help my muscles to grow because in the beginning my legs BURN. But now that I take whey protein after my rides my legs no longer burn but do get tired after 10-15 minutes of riding.

as a first time learner with 230 pounds i will probably turn off the 1 and 2 alarm...what pwm should i tturn on with my weight...80 or should i go with 70...?i was lean to t4 but my country passet a new law that i need crash insurance after PEVs with 25kmh and 25kg...i think the a2 is the only unicycle below the mten series that i can buy with the bigger wheel....which would transition me into biggers wheels then...

Great Video, Sir! I love the way explained the wobble theory and intervention to attack the root cause! Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing ❤

My begode a2 cruises well at 20-25kmh..i guess thats the speed meant for the device. If u wanna cruise faster go for begode t4

yes but HOW to TURN??

Nice one 👍

you ride like a moron, you should always stay in the main lain of the road and take control of when cars pass you as opposed to you having to constantly dodge things in the gutter and have cars try and pass you without slowing down. Also it will make them just pass you on the left like they would another car and the risk of a head on collision to them is going to make them much more cautious when doing so.

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.

You got a helmet cam you can mount on the helmet you leave at home when riding your EUC? Your whole talk about safety this and safety that is nullified with you riding without a helmet on your videos.

Thanks!

I ended up getting a body cam (like what the police have) and you can just clip it to a backpack, it's pretty nice. I make sure to grab it for a few roads (that I try to avoid) where I know to expect the nuttier drivers. I read that you have to get footage of the driver though, not just the car, to be most useful to the police. But still really useful either way Edit: Nice motorcycle jacket by the way

Dude in the safety vest would be better off on sidewalk. He is Warrior wanna be.

Wow I’m glad you are ok! Thanks for the helpful tip. I myself stopped riding motorcycles almost 20 years ago because of this. I can control my riding but there are too many other variables that can endanger me. For the same reason I don’t commute on my euc unless I really have to.

Thanks Adam!!🙏

staying far to the left or right is actually more dangerous than it is to stay directly in the center of the lane if you are riding with vehicles around.

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?

Be to the right ... where the road drains ... and the debris collects ... cars don't deserve right of way just because they can travel faster ... ride in the lane appropriately just like a bike not as far to the right as possible.

I met you at doctor Ron house are you ready to step into a new adventure? I’ll lend you the equipment come ride with us ask Ron for my number. I am his painter you work with Dr. Ron the swimmer that is a hint of this riddle. I ride dirt bikes no expect you to get on a dirtbike, but I do have a quad, but I’ll lend you

Yrs I watched mire than just the beginning. I guess I can't tell if that's the same person wearing the helmet as the guy at the beginning. 😅

First off I'm glad you're okay - that looked like a lawn sign initially, but those spike did some damage. All your safety tips are well thought out and followed. Thanks for publishing this! 😃

Or is that someone else?

You only wear wrist guards?

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.

Interaction excellently handled. Thanks for sharing.

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.

Nice! I'm terrible at riding mine. 😅

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

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

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
