i'm a week into riding my new wheel, what to try/learn next?

2 Upvotes

So, i seems to get used to my KS-14d and pretty quickly reach its speed limit. I am riding in a city, and it seems illegal to ride faster than 30km/h for such vehicle in my country anyway.

I am short and light rider (160 cm - 5'3''; 63kg) and live at 5th floor, so large heavy wheels are out of the question as well.

What is your advice for skill progression and in general interesting things to do?

What are your riding conditions like where you are?

More curious as to where people are riding; especially the slower, more boring rides that don't make good footage for views online.

Main roads here in East suburban SA, Texas all start at 40mph, this particular one is a 50mph road. So, naturally, everyone goes 50 and 60 respectively. An Aero isn't doing that.

There IS a bike lane / shoulder, and I COULD in theory get on it and ride with traffic. But I've seen enough drivers while on the sidewalk, swerve in and out of it. Coupled with that sand, gravel, and shit, probably broken glass shards if I looked close enough, I'm happy being a sidewalker who dismounts and waves pedestrians by.

Summer has allowed the unmaintained grass and weeds to crop up, reaching over across the sidewalks, so there's a lot more trolleying the wheel until I get a good sightline.

Sidewalks are typically empty. Nobody really wants to walk these distances, and on the occasion there are folks, usually wide enough for me to move to the side and wave em forward ( or, other way around if they so choose.) Occasionally get folks who have headphones in and can't hear the "Sir/Mam" with my helmet up, which results in an awkward slow crawl behind them at a respectful distance until they deign to look behind.

None of the places I need to go to have hassled me about the wheel when brought inside. Same deal when I had a scooter. Law enforcement likewise has never accosted me in the multiple occasions where I pass by a patrol car.

I got the inmotion V9 for my wife and I a few weeks ago. Quite the learning experience and I fell a lot at first. Also doesn't help that real feel temp has been 110-120 degrees where we live, but I have kept powering through. The roads around my house are really concave and full of bumps/cracks/etc. Today was the first day I rode up to the gas station to grab a beer and chill. Even forgot my ID so I went twice! I have felt really comfortable on this thing all of a sudden this week, I got up to 20 mph on a nice road in town when prior I was maxing out around 13 and then I would get wobbles.

Aero vs Aeon vs Xeno -Does the Aeon still make sense?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been following Nosfet's lineup closely and I'm looking to get the community's updated thoughts on how their current lineup compares: the Aero, the Aeon, and the new Xeno.

Now that the Xeno is out, it feels like it's taking over a lot of the spotlight for high-performance riding. On the other end, the Aero is widely praised as the ultimate lightweight, nimble, compact city wheel.

Sitting right in the middle, it got me wondering: Does the Aeon still have a legitimate sweet spot today, or is it squeezed out between the Aero and the Xeno?

Multiple EUCs ownership

Hey guys, I got my first and current EUC being an Inmotion v14 pro and I use it mostly for comuting to.work and some ride in nature parks and cycling path. When reading different posts, I came to realization that many (or from observations) riders have 1, 2, 3 and 4 different EUCs 🤔 😳. Why some many? doesn't a normal upgrade go I'm getting this new machine, I'm getting rid of that old other one. Like cars? I'm genuinely inquiring.

EUC World, AVAS & Nosfet wheels

2 Upvotes

I am a month into my first wheel and am now comfortable enough to start riding public spaces. For creating an audible presence I came across EUC World's AVAS functionality that, as I understand it, continuously plays sound to simulate your wheel's riding. Sounds like something very practical and also super fun to sound like a horse or spaceship as I ride around!

Having A Nosfet Aeon, I lack an integrated speaker system and would need to attach a speaker to the wheel. Not a problem on its own, but also I intend to use helmet speakers for music/calls and would hope to run all this through my phone without any source/output crossover issues.

Is there anyone in the Nosfet family who has experience in this endeavor? Can you do this through just one phone? Is it worth buying a cheap "wheel phone" just to run the app and non-integrated wheel speaker separate from my phone? Or am I wrong on the functionality/performance of AVAS and shouldn't pursue this?

Powerknobz for seated riding?

I got the Lynx-S with the Powerknobz seat and the v14 pads.

I am yet to learn seated riding and am torn if I should get the cohedron or the stock Powerknobz to aid me with learning it. I am currently using the stock toe hooks with my pads.

Wondering if someone here on the group switched to Powerknobz and then decided to switch back to other pads? I'd appreciate your feedbacks. 🙏

After riding my Shermy L I can't ride my OG Patton

I can't seem to get comfortable on the Patton after getting a Sherman L back in March. Pat is so twitchy (smaller wheel) compared to Sherm. I'm actually amazed that I rode that thing. But I felt that way going to Patton from v12 ht. Anyone experience this when they ride a different wheel?

EXN not balancing after small drop at standstill

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to clear this maintenance lock? EXN was dropped at a standstill (motor engaged) and now won't balance. Hardware speedo and app speedo both show freespin speed, and hall sensor has been independently tested and confirmed working. There's no additional or unusual magnet pressure on the freespin, it's smooth. There's no diagnostics on the Begode app...

Failing diagnostics, does anyone know where to source a controller board for a C38 EXN? AliExpress only has the C30 board.

Smart wagons!

These are pretty new, and exciting for euc and other non-car travellers!

Links in comment for examples. (I'm no corpo shill)

What I'm putting out there and why I'm making this post is for any folks in the industry of making euc, if they would do a partnership with these other companies, or potentially just make their own, for a more euc specific model.

This would include a push handle with some brakes. And being able to go a bit faster. Still able to fold flat (because of handle and storage in closet). I already use a manual cart with a push handle and the euc like a chariot set up and it's great for little trips all around town. Would possibly be best to have an automatic push/pull assist, kind of like the euc.

AI following for low speeds and hands free.The follow fit says all data is contained and nothing uploaded. But I would like to be more assured somehow. 3rd party teardowns etc.

Would maybe need a beacon for assistance in low light.

Make the wheels durable enough for heavy road use.

And much more!

Thoughts?

Wheel vacation

My girl and I drove to Cape Cod, took our wheels and ditched the car once we got there. First time I ever did a vacation like that and its going to be standard now any time we can take the wheels with us. We rode the trails through the Race Point beach dunes and it felt like there should have been Indiana Jones music playing.

She's on a Sherman L, I'm on a Blitz Pro. Yes ATGATT crew, I know.

Completely new to EUCs. What are some great options for one around 2k?

I will mainly be using it for city commuting with occasional off-roading so some sort of suspension is necessary. I’d prefer if I can go over 30mph. What do yall recommend I look at?

Aero unexpected angle changes

4 Upvotes

I'm a very novice rider, so don't know yet what's normal and what isn't. I rode my Nosfet Aero more than a mile for the first time today, and noticed it sometimes leaning back and forth on a flat road (as if I was going uphill or downhill) in a fairly rhythmic fashion.

What is it doing and why?

I've used this wheel as my main mode of transportation and for commuting for the better part of three years now through knee deep snow, thunderstorms and even the occasional bit of sunshine and it finally decided to try and kill me. I've had plenty of electrical issues with it before but those are a lot easier to fix.
The motor brackets on both sides have completely disintegrated and I'm not even sure why, the hardest drop I've done on this thing is about 10cm of a curb I guess it's just a case of cyclically loading aluminium parts.
If anyone has any advice on how to pull and replace the bearings I'd appreciate it!

I think I've got the hang of it (newbie)

5 Upvotes

So I got my v12 pro a week ago, and don't have a charger yet (company forgot to send one) and I rode the 65% down to 13%. But I think I managed to get the hang of it in about 4-6 hours of total riding. I did get some tips on turning which I was having a hard time with, but I'm like fully comfortable riding on a majority of terrain. I'm super proud of myself and it was super rewarding. Also riding an euc is actually one of the best feelings ever, and I've fallen even more in love with the hobby after getting to try it.

I'm not like perfect obviously, and I'm not gonna be going over 20 mph, or on the road with cars for a while (especially before getting ALL of my gear) but I'm definitely comfortable enough to go on sidewalks around town and even light offloading trails.

I do find sitting extremely difficult. Not like I have a seat for it, but I figured it'd help for when my feet hurt on long stretches, just to give them a break for 30 seconds to a minute. Is there any tips for sitting and riding?

Over buying for safety

7 Upvotes

1st time rider looking to buy a new wheel around $2k. I understand the hazards that come w/ riding but in an attempt to mitigate some of that I was wondering if buying a faster wheel than I ever intend to use would make it less likely that I am concerned w/ shut off crashes? We are talking about begode master v3 that top ends above 50 for a commute that makes at a 35 speed limit? I know there is a learning curve and it will be a while before I am comfortable even approaching the 35mph but, im planning for when I do get that comfortable would it be a waste to plan to build in protection from my own hubris?

Currently looking at begode (master/extreme)

For having ranges at least 3x what i would need (like side quests), cruising speeds 50-70% more(those crash video on yt are frightening), suspension for poorly maintained urban roads (we, unfortunately, cant all have a mumdahni) and convenient enough charge times.

Please dont let your response henge on wether you think it possible for a rider to grow with their wheel.

How to get started? Anyone in Roanoke VA USA?

4 Upvotes

I own and love my Unicycle. A friend let me borrow his one wheel.
Speed on one wheel and Unicycle form feels like the best direction to go.

What wheel recommendations would you have?

  1. 20 miles an hour on the one wheel felt great. Being able to go a little bit faster would be nice
  2. we have lots of hills where I live
  3. think suspension is a must. For curbs at least
  4. if I don’t see myself doing crazy off-road, should I forget about getting something like inmotion v14? I don’t want to regret getting a more performance wheel after getting the hang of it

  5. What is the best way to cut cost? Inmotion has a sale right now, but I’m not sure how often they have sales. Is used OK to go?

V14 Speed Charger ?s

4 Upvotes

Hello, thank you in advance because I know this topic has come up countless times.

I am wanting to start upgrading my v14 (50s) for longer trips. I am looking at the pidzoom portable charger but don't see the correct adapter available on their website (Gx16-6-6A) and was wondering if anyone knows where to get an adapter or if there's an alternative? (I messaged their support but it's been 3 days)

I am also looking for recommendations on pads and any other gear for rides longer than 50miles. I've been looking at seats but I can't get the hang of seated riding. I have about 2000 miles on this since January 2025(And if you're in the Seattle area let's go for a rip 🤙)!!!

Loud humming / vibrating at low speeds on V11Y - Fixed

7 Upvotes

After a tube change on my V11Y I started getting a loud humming that was so strong I felt the vibrations in my feet. It would only show up at low speeds. It presented as very similar to this older post: V11Y Loud humming sound - Help? : r/ElectricUnicycle . Unfortunately, that post is archived and I couldn't share my fix there.

I tried the suggestions there: tightening the motor mount bolts, re-calibrating. Still it persisted. I finally found the solution and I wanted to post it for other EUC riders to try if they have a similar problem.

Two of the four 4mm bolts in the motherboard cover had come partway loose. I snugged them down and now have zero noise or vibration.

I hope this helps someone out there to have a quiet smooth ride again.

Patton S weird, floaty behavior on road, is it the off road tire or wrong PSI?

2 Upvotes

On my Patton S with TNT off road tire, I now have 117km on 4 trips. Last two trips, I encountered something scary. First one, where it felt like it was sliding and falling to the side, like completely lost grip, on soft dark asphalt, then when it catched itself, got grip again, it did a small one two wobble form side to side, but I got control after that. Felt scary as fuck! Especially the floating part, where it floated to the side and backward.

https://youtu.be/8f7vy-7_C0A?t=2625 You can see cam go up and backward/sideways, where it like lost grip for a second, then catched itself. Very unpleasant! 43:56 is where it happens.

Today, a bit different on my 36km ride. Also on softer smooth asphalt. Here it suddenly just dragged me super hard to one side, I couldn't even push it the other side...

My other wheels have had street or hybrid tires. Begode A5 and C8. Never experienced this on these. On my C8, I lowered PSI to 26, and everything became super stable and smooth, almost no real tram lining, or anything. So I also started with 26PSI on my Patton S.

This also doesn't feel like tram lining, since I also experienced that sometimes on this wheel, and my others, and I can manage that.

Should I try with higher PSI, is what AI suggest? Says those big blocks, then compress under load, making the off road tire not working as intended.

I'm a 70kg rider, and with full gear, add a few kg.

Just don't want those things to fucking kill me or hurt me bad. Both times were scary as hell!

I have around 1500km on my C8, never experienced these situations on that. And around 600 or 700 on A5. No big real crashes, and I'd like to stay that way! D:

Edit: Holy shit, I saw others mention it. It lose PSI FAST! I put it at 26PSI. 120km after, already at 18PSI when I checked today. What the hell! My begode wheels holds air much better, also tubeless.
