Nice one Kuji, I tried to teach my dad this way but he’s too stubborn. I let him try on grass for about 10 min, free mounting and cartwheeling (68yrs old too) then had him use me as a “wall”. Took him about an hr to be able to ride around the soccer field and about a week to feel confident enough to go on a proper ride. Once he was comfortable around cars, maybe a month or so of twice a week rides I took him off road. I can’t stress enough how fast you can get better if you get out onto some technical dirt trails. I’m so happy I stumbled on this hobby. It’s given my dad and I a safer way to play vs canyon carving on sport bikes. These things can toss ya off, it can hurt and you may even break something but ya should live to apex another day! He has about 1000 miles under him now and riding on pavement is second nature. I haven’t been able to try to teach anyone else, my friends think they are cool and know it would be fun, just think they will get hurt. Next time I find a taker I’m making them watch this before hand.

Got my first wheel today. V10f. If you can find a 20-30 foot narrow hall where you can reach both sides with your arms, it can really help with learning to move forward and backwards pretty confidently without fear of falling over. Maybe tape some padding to the sides of the pedals though so they don't scratch the walls / floor. Also made learning the whole staying in one spot by quickly moving forward and back pretty easy. I'd suggest taking loads of breaks. Do it for 10-15 minutes at a time then take a break for a few hours. Next time you get on it, many of the wobbles will be gone. I'm guessing it's because you're using a lot of muscles you're not used to that tire out quickly, and your brain continues processing what you went through unconsciously while you rest.

First: I love that you started by suggesting to adjust tire pressure - It's the kind of thing I doubt most people think about on any pneumatically tired vehicle, and gets people thinking about dynamics rather than just getting on and riding. Second: two possible suggestions from a motorcyclist who had you come up in the suggs (Inmotion suspension test, #algorithm) who has never ridden any kind of unicycle, but is now thinking strongly about getting one after one video - 1) I think you said it and she seems to mention it, but KEEP YOUR EYES UP/focused on where you want to go. Motorcycle general wisdom is that you will go where you are looking - looking down equals falling down. 2) BREATHE - this is the most general advise ever, but it may be the most generally overlooked. Held breath is the doorway to anxiety. We tend to do so when "trying hard" or "trying to focus". (goes to look up e-wheels for beginners)

I could instantly finally ride and even turn with those small changes! Moral of the story, don't just give up.... it IS possible, try different things, everyone gets things just a little different!

I know that feeling when I learned to ride the Ultimate Wheel, which is not electric. Initially I tried to just push off. I lost a lot of time learning that way and finally found a road with a nice fence of about 50 metres. That helped me get the hang of it in the end. In some youtube vidz they say you shouldn't learn that way, but that worked for me. Same as EUC where some peeps say you should learn 1 foot first and others let you put both feet on the EUC while holding on to the wall right away. I guess once should try everything and stick to what works.

a 5 yr old video, but still useful. I also just got my first EUC, the Kingsong S16Pro. It is 33kg or something. I tried it for a few minutes and it is very difficult. I've been riding non-electric unicycles for 9 years, so I figured I could learn this too. I can also ride an Ultimate wheel, which is basically a narrow wheel without pedal cranks. The cranks a welded directly onto the wheel. I figured it would be something like that, but a UW is less than 1kg. Like with all of these things, they just take time and you have to keep trying until it clicks. That is why I got into riding unicycle in the first place. Everyone can do it as long as you are persistent. That took me 3 weeks of 2 hours a day initially and another week of learning to freemount. If I can ride EUC in just a few days, I shouldn't complain.

I use soccer shin guards on the inside of my skinny legs. They were getting sore while practicing mount/dismounting. They make a big difference now because I don't hesitate to lean against the wheel as I did when I was sore. I just got my EUC at 60 years old. I gave up trying to learn to ride a skateboard because I thought I would kill myself when the board would shoot out from under me (forward or backward). This is not a problem with an EUC - only left and right, but you can just step off. I never felt at risk learning to ride my Inmotion V8.

Since im on the hi weight limit, ive elected to put the pressure closer to the top limit to make it easier for it to roll and not burn it out.

Yes, make sure to disable the spin kill switch (tape 2 spacer to the switch for example thus preventing it to get pressed by the leash)

I found videos like this really useful when I started learning... I hated that saying "It'll just click" haha but it does!! and then its just this amazing floaty feeling... As always nice video Kuji :)

yeah, it totally "just clicks" once you get your muscle memory to respond fast enough to swing the wheel back underneath you. At first you have to think about it, but then once you can reduce that time just a little... everything falls together subconsciously.

Get the newbie perspective from step by step too. and yes the fear of scratching the EUC distracts you from learning comfortably. They should make noob-skin for the EUC to put on during practise mode.

They make some kind of adhesive stuff. Usually sold at stores that carry EUCs exactly for that purpose. Or you can go the way Ultra Nyan suggested (-;

I'm 60 years old, but don't feel a day over 90. Too many full contact sports and a couple of car accidents have taken their toll. I gingerly attempted some of your tips yesterday for the first time on my new King Song 18XL. I'm sore today, but want to ride confidently soon enough. I'm waiting for my new Meepo Hurricane to arrive as well. My bucket list is getting shorter. Woohoo!

I started with a V8F (a slight upgrade from the V8 Doro (the girl) is riding) about 6 months ago, when I was a young 69 1/2 (70 years old now). I mostly followed the advice in this video, except that I used yaw steering via arm flailing (flail left to steer right and vice versa), at slow speed (3 to 5 mph) which was good enough to do laps around a tennis court on my first attempt at arm flailing. I moved to a long straight, and as mentioned by Kuji, found my V8F became stable at around 6 to 8 mph, and I didn't have to focus on balance. This allowed me to work on speed control and tilt steering (inner foot down, outer foot up) for turning.

Shin guards (e.g., soccer/football version) work really well to alleviate the pressure on lower leg. Obviously, you need to rotate it slightly to face the wheel, not the front. I use just one on my dominant leg, and find that it really helps to take that initial control of the wheel. Set it up under your pants to avoid scratching the wheel.

Another issue is that if you are 200 lbs or more plus the weight of your equipment, you need to buy a bigger wheel rated at 250 lbs or more which means it will be more difficult to learn, and thus will take more than 1 hr to master completely. I’m experiencing this problem now.

When I was learning to ride an euc, I used different method that maybe it's not as good as this one, since I spent about 4-5 days learning. But anyway here it is: 1) try to hold a wheel (one foot on a floor, another on the pedal) how? - yes. 2) do spinning around 3) ask ur friend to hold ur both hands and run backwards, after some time he/she can hold one of ur hands. Ride like this until u feel comfortable to ride without a hand 4) ride, ride, ride. Yay! Now u r a euc master My wheel: ninebot one s2 (2200+ km)

This video was sent to me by Jason at ewheels.com. I am 58 and yes I am daring to ride an EUC because it looks like a lot of fun! There are some good tips in this video like telling me not to fight getting onto the EUC until I learn to ride. Telling me about the tire pressure, not to hunch, look in the distance and lastly advising not give up are all good tips as well. I like the way you put actual verbiage up to emphasize important information. All though this gal did it in 1.5 hours, Its taking me a little longer because this is a self journey. Also as a side note: I was dressed up in full safety gear while practicing in a park. I was warned by an older gentleman (what do you think I am) that this is the fastest way to break a bone. I just shrugged it off as I know the risks I am taking. I did take a bad fall, but the helmet and wrist guards did its job I am here typing this note. Great video, thanks.

Cool dude. Thanks for this tutorial. I have been contemplating better modes of transportation instead of the costly University parking lot fees, not to mention if you find a spot to make it to your class on time and this seems like it might just be the one. I watched some of your other videos on wheel reviews and this just may be the clincher for a final decision. Will keep an eye out for your videos in the future because these things jam. These things will both support my weight and my bag o' books too.

got my first wheel, i dont have a parking lot like that so i was learning to ride in the park. didn't use any walls, help etc. the only thing i used is a strap tied to the handle, so whenever i felt like something is wrong i just jumped off the wheel and catched it by the strap. took me half an hour to learn how to freemount, and another hour to be able to turn and go uphill/downhill. the next day i've learned to do tight turns and after a few days of rest i finally went for a ride around town, feel's awesome. thanks for your videos, i hesitated between getting an euc or a electric scooter but your videos encouraged to try out the euc world and i'm not disappointed

am having a hard time with my thick calves, i'm resorting to sticking out my feet away from the shell just to have leg room. 4th day - learning for 4 hrs in total. Crashed hard and hurt my left leg today for saving my wheel. Never save your wheel, it will only both hurt you and the wheel.

Just got my first one today. Ninebot S1... Took it to my jobs EMPTY warehouse... Lol Got about an hour and a half of practice. Hopped on, eventually got the hang of riding alongside a small boat in it's carrier... Free launching IS HARD ON MY INNER SHINS. LOL I recommend PADDED used cycles for learning....(mine has nothing) I sat down, ordered soccer shin guards...smh She took a beating while learning to free form launch. Wish I had bumpers....Getting up on the other pedal evenly is the most difficult so far... When should I try learning free form launching? Or should I keep launching from my propped up position for now? P.S. she's a cutie! 😆😆😆

The S1 ergonomics are the worst of any wheel. Id buy some thick foam (~0.5-1.0") and slap it along the top of the wheel where your shins make contact give it it a more square and boxy shape. You can free mount once you can readjust your feet while riding.

Found this video last evening. Applied the lessons today. I've made more progress in one hour today then in the prior four hours I've spent on my Ninebot One. I've gone from three feet independent of the fence to twenty feet. Of all the videos I have watched this is the most helpful. The fore and aft exercise was really helpful. It helps to put me in the correct riding posture. I'm still having a problem with the circle exercise. I can't do it smoothly. I'm left footed and the wheel wants to turn left. My left ankle bone is sore compared to my right ankle bone so I am assuming I have a foot placement problem.

For slower speed, it might help to teach yaw steering via arm flailing, flail left to steer right, flail right to steer left, to steer into fall for balance and to direct the EUC. Dora does this at around 7:20 into the video, but later on, she's going fast enough for the V8 to become stable, which was Kuji's point in getting Dora to ride a bit faster on her first point to point attempts.
