Your purchase helps support my channel. Thanks.
It's always nice to see another Sherman S on trails. 👏🏻
They say it's too big and heavy for technical trail riding. I disagree. Just a little harder to manage. Still a bunch of fun though.
Where do you ride yours?
@@BalancedAdventure I'm up in Canada. We have some awesome trails here. I think we managed to get Roger tired when he came to visit.

Roger will never admit to that! Lol!
I do intend on making a trip up to both Toronto and Vancouver at some point. Wish it wasn't snow season quite yet.
I applaud your trail etiquette when overtaking others on the trail. 🍻
I already have the Patton, and love it, so I have no reason to drool over the Lynx, but it's hard not to🤣.
I try to be respectful and safe when passing. 😁 So thanks.
The Patton is great. There's always that new version of something coming out. Unless you want a little more power, speed, or range, I'd keep the Patton for now. Fun wheel.
Thanks for posting - it’s like I’ve done the ride there with you! You have some awesome terrain there. It’s a great playground for you all ❤
Thanks for watching. Glad you felt like you were there. That's how I wanted it to feel. 😁 California is very beautiful.
What an awesome place to ride.
All of my best EUC personalities out tearing up the dust together. Christmas came early 👍🏆
Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did! Thanks for commenting.
GREETINGS FROM RUSSIA, FRIENDS!

ohh... did not know you have a CZcams dude. your boy Maxximus!!!!!! good stuff!!!
Maxximus!!! Good to see you here. 😁
"Aaron will do it, you just got to tell him to" LMAO its so true! Great video dude! Love seeing the cali trails!
🤣 Thanks Rob!
Wow those trails look nice to ride. I enjoyed the ride. And I subscribed. Ride safe man.
Thanks you for subscribing! Those trails are a good time. Some of them quite challenging.
Damn u guys r so good on those things. I have so much more practicing to do. 2 days in
Thanks! We've had a lot of practice. I hope now that it's been more time you've gotten much better! Hope you're enjoying it!
nice trimming of the break testing segments, nice to see someone actually takes the time to edit his videos lol
Thanks Will! I wanted to trim back a good amount. Would have preferred the video not to be so long but didn't want to cut out too much of the ride.
Hopefully in the future I can take rides like these and trim them down into a reasonable length.
yoo... Zweemz!!!!! get at yo boy!!!
Boys, you got some skills there. I am thinking about getting onto EUC...looks fun and a good workout as well.
Thanks. It's especially a workout when offroading. Definitely pick one up. You'll enjoy it!
Thanks@@BalancedAdventure , after motorcycles, race motorcycles, MiniGP motorcycles, NAMI BURN-E scooter...the Wheel is my next crusade !
Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏
I have Sherman S as well!! Can’t decide if I’m gonna get the Lynx!!😂
Sherman S is a great wheel. Unless you feel the Sherman S is lacking or really have a need for speed I'd say just keep the Sherman S. Lynx feels good. But it's a hard sell to shell out another $4k for a wheel that feels fairly similar.
Great video bro 🔥
Thanks Nick!
Nice ride… Wish our group can ride with you Guys…👍☺️
Thanks. Where are you from?
Lol😂. you can add whatever voiceover you want making it look like you said something about that angle cut out.
No matter what happens America remains the land of innovation. I cannot even think of such a thing. Just magical ❤
Those are chinese lol
@@sorvete365 sure it is made in china. But almost everything nowadays is made in china. The brains behind it is not chinese. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_unicycle

@@sorvete365 Technically, I think it was Segway that pioneered the idea, but in China they definitely refined it
Nice trail I used to live in Fullerton 🤙🏽
Agreed! I enjoyed it! Very beautiful there. I'm looking forward to riding it more and getting more comfortable.
We have a couple begode falcons and are looking to add a 3rd for our dad. What would you recommend for something bigger then the falcon but maybe not Lynx price point ?
1 hour video 😂 you and Roger definitely hang out far too much 😂
Henry! Lol! My goal is to actually make more videos in the 10-15 minute range, give or take. This one I kept long, mainly to encapsulate the whole experience, but also to get the video out sooner.
Subsequent videos I'll try to trim to an enjoyable length. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@BalancedAdventure it's all good. Just messing with you. Its nice seeing different points of view from Marty, Roger, Dawn and yours. I have mine also, but looks more narcissistic 😄
LMAO! Post yours!
I'm looking at this or the V14 as my first EUC. Which would be the better pick?
The Lynx is the better choice overall, but both are good. The Lynx has more room to grow, mostly, given it's much higher top speed.
I hope you pick/picked the right one and are already learning! Still undecided? Consider using my link: www.ewheels.com/balancedadventure
Thanks for commenting. Enjoy riding!

Thanks Mike! 😁
Funniest intro I've ever seen in an euc video 😂
Thanks Brian!
Agreed.... Aaron is a jerk.
Love my Lynx but I want a V14 too! 😂
😂 Why not both? 😁
This was such a cool video. I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on my first wheel for awhile now. I'm a heavier person right now but wanna get out there and explore some trails. Since the Lynx is powerful, would it be ideal for a heavier rider in the 270lb range? (So like 280+ with gear). I would lose weight rather quickly but don't want to wear it out during those initial months riding my hilly trails/roads.
To answer your question, yes, I believe the Lynx has plenty enough power and strength to carry you(with your gear). I don't believe you will have any issues.
The Lynx would be a great wheel for a beginner or someone more advanced. However, most people recommend getting something used that's lighter and possibly non-suspension to start out on. That way. you're not beating up your new wheel while learning or get too discouraged.
I'd say go for the Lynx if you're comfortable dropping your new wheel while learning. Leaperkim(Veteran) products are TANKS. In any regard, I'm excited for you! Get yourself a wheel and get out there! Thanks for watching my video and commenting. -Aaron

Was this castlewood park in Missouri?
No. This was at the Fullerton Loop, in Fullerton, California. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What are you guys riding model and set up. Wanna get into the EUC
Not sure on the set ups. But in the video we're riding:
Leaperkim Veteran Lynx
Leaperkim Veteran Patton
Leaperkim Veteran Sherman S
Begode Master
All solid choices.
I hope you find one that makes you happy. 😁
curious about what you guys are using to tether yourself to the wheels. thanks in advance looks like yall had fun
We had a blast!
As far as tethering ourselves to the wheels. I don't currently use anything to secure my wheel to myself. I just use good pads, it this case Grizzla Flow Big pads, along with grippier aftermarket pedals(e-Rides pedals on this wheel) to keep my feet from moving.
Dawn Champion uses a tether. Here is a link to her video explaining it.

Thanks for your comment.
How much did you weigh when you tried Marty's 62lb Lynx?
Without gear about 195. I'm going to guess with gear about maybe 210. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for commenting.
I would love one of these but at 63 and not real great on my feet. So I guess stay with ebike.
Understandable. But if you're really interested, consider getting a smaller one to start out on and practice. You may be surprised that you can actually do it. Either way, ebikes are loads of fun too! Glad you found something fun to ride! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@BalancedAdventure
I may just get one that goes about 20 or so.
You guys make it look so easy.
@@papap.8006 That's a great idea. I have one I ride daily that does just that. Don't need to go fast to have fun. 😁
@@papap.8006Thanks! A lot of practice. You'll make it look easy soon enough. 🙂
any issues with the Lynx kick stand being too exposed to rocks and stair riding?
During our riding we didn't experience any of those issues. I'd assume as long as you don't go too slow when doing stairs or drops it shouldn't make contact. Hopefully I can get more time with the Lynx and maybe give a more conclusive answer. Thanks for commenting.
Roger fast fast he fast fast 😅
He really is! Aspires me to be faster too!
Man I need new elbow and knee pads. I bought a set but it's too small. Doesn't fit.
Woah. Yea, definitely get yourself some good fitting ones. Protect those elbows and knees! Have fun!
@BalancedAdventure yea I bought new ones that fit. Got wrist guards too
@@GregQuillen Very good! Definitely good idea on the wrist guards. I hope you're enjoying riding.
Do your knees cry after a day of riding?
Haha! 😂 No, not generally. Only if I'm doing a lot of big drops or if I spend an entire day riding a non-suspension wheel on bumpy roads/trails. Suspension really helps alleviate the pain. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Aaron
@@BalancedAdventureGood to know! What’s the legality of these things in California? Do you need to register them? Ride on roads, sidewalks or bike lanes? Cops ever hassle you? Thanks in advance
👍
Is the durability of the Lynx in question?
As of right now, I'm unaware of anything that makes me believe it won't be very durable. The Sherman S and Patton have proven durability and I expect the same from the Lynx.
Thanks for your comment, Dustin!
what are those elbow pads? 38:38
Roger says they don't make them anymore. 🤷🏻♂️ Hope you find some pads you like. 👍🏻
at @9:48 is that Rim Damage/Bend? the one Marty riding.
Yes. It's Roger's Begode Extreme. He caught a rock on the side of the rim a few weeks earlier. Cracked and dented the rim. But surprisingly, it's still rideable. 😀 Thanks for commenting!
27:20 What is that?
Electric unicycles have a built in protection that at a certain angle the wheel will shut off to protect itself as it assumes you dropped it.
This wheel(Veteran Lynx) and others have the ability to adjust at what angle the wheel shuts off. In this case, the angle was set to a shallow angle and it turned off prematurely. This can be corrected by adjusting it to a steeper angle so as to not have the wheel turn off while turning hard or on a berm.
Thanks for your comment.
39:58 🤣
🤣Cactus! They just look so cool! I didn't see them where I grew up so it's exciting to see them now. Thanks for commenting!

Appreciate!
Really bad, would not want to be going full tilt and it cut out like that man... Not a good wheel.
Within the settings on this wheel you can change the angle in which the wheel cuts out while turning or going on a bank/berm. It's a safety feature so if you drop the wheel it doesn't hurt you or the wheel. If the feature wasn't there the wheel would start spinning uncontrollably and wouldn't stop. So, manufactures put in an angle cut off to stop that from happening. If you intend on taking turns fast enough to scrape the pedals or ride on higher berms you'll want to increase the tilt angle in the settings to a higher degree. Then the wheel won't do what it did at the beginning of the video. The wheel is good. Just have to adjust the setting for what you intend to do with it. 🙂
54 min in…Why are you out of breath? 😂😅
😂 I wouldn't call that out of breath. Microphone picking up my breathing. But riding trails tend to be a real workout sometimes.
Thanks for commenting.
@@BalancedAdventure Just sounds like breathing into a microphone. Especially for trail riding and doing some jump ups. Great video.
buncha virgins
😂 can neither confirm or deny
oh look at us we're cool kids in California, oh look at us, we ride EUC, oh look at us, we're fast and agile and you can't catch us... what a bunch of bullies. this is disgusting. either all people need EUC, or EUC need to be stopped because it is not fair and these things are like alien level spaceships so maybe don't be such gluttonous show offs and think about non-EUC riding humans because we all matter!!!
Lol. Aaron thinks this was a serious comment. Aaron forgot to mention how we spooked a few horses on the trails that day... one is probably still running with that little girl on its back to this day.
@@roghaj nooooo! I always give Marty and the guys some flack!!! that is a funny story tho about the horse, I'm sure the small human is having a great time riding a 4 legger thru the trees!!!
