  • This video describes my personal experience into the EUC world and community. It was not always love at first sight with the Electric Unicycle but thanks to the amazing community both local and online and a bit of perseverance, now I feel like the EUC as an extension of my legs.

    I had very similar experience. I had one point where I felt I was never going to learn how to ride. You will face walls very hard. Like your freinds say that is ok just keep pushing. Took me 4 days of falling all day. Take short breaks and keep going. The feeling of failure will pass if you let it. Just be very carefull with cars they will kill you and smile when they do it. A car came at me going the wrong direction on the road and didnt even stop I had to jump off because I didnt know how to emergency break yet. And I was not on the road but in parking lot and those idiots still try to run you over. Now all I want is more range and more speed. Its a life changing thing this euc. You can fly so why ever turn back? Flying is beautifull just know that the learning process is facing doubt itself. When you free yourself you can really fly!

      Absolutely euc has been life changing for me as well indeed! 😁
      Sorry to hear about silly car drivers, I feel you as I ve encountered my fair share unfortunately 😬
      Yep, that's it, you said it brilliantly: little by little without giving up, we end up reachimg that feeling of freedom, like flying 🤩 and then bang we are euc addicts 😜

    Nice description of the learning process! The struggles pay off when you finally get that "One" feeling with the wheel. I remember thinking I'd never need such a big battery as my Mten3 could go 20 miles ... so silly.

      Thank you 😁
      Indeed, once it clicks it is the best feeling ever 🤩
      Same here, I will be travelling over 1000 miles on a 2 day journey next week just to pick up my next EUC 🙈

    Fun to hear about your journey with EUCs! Thanks for sharing about the discouraging moments as well. I've had quite a few of those and it's really inspirational to see what an amazing rider you've become despite feeling like it might not be your thing initially. I started a few months ago on a Kingsong 16X and thought I made a huge mistake after fumbling so much with it that first week or two. After a couple of months it started to feel more like riding a bike. I decided to go big and get a Veteran Lynx! After receiving the Lynx and trying it out for a few minutes, I worried I had made huge mistake again and felt like it was just way too much for me. I felt like a beginner again and turning the thing felt incredibly unstable. I didn't even take it outside for 3 days, attempting to ride on the carpet in my living room until I didn't feel like I would immediately tip over. I actually managed to put 12 miles on it inside my house, lol. I've had it a couple of weeks and I'm now able to take 3-5 mile trips around my neighborhood and hit about 23mph. Though I am much better at turning now, it is still very difficult to turn tightly without feeling like I'm going to tip over, ha! Seeing how well you ride is very inspirational to me. I'm in no rush, but I'm super excited to one day confidently ride offroad trails as well as ride in the 30-40mph range on roads without feeling like I'm going to immediately hurt myself, ha!

      Thank you so much again 🙏
      Super awesome to hear that you went for the Lynx 🤩 it sounds like an absolutely awesome all-rounder wheel 🛞 I am sure that with time and practice, it will become easier and easier to ride it and connect with it 💪 Always remember to have fun in the process 🙌😊 Keep me updated on your progress please, I would also like to know how you find offloading with the Lynx once you ve get a bit more confidence on it 😀 😍

      @alexiszakariene Will do! I hit 100 miles on it yesterday:). Trying to keep that practice going! I also tried my first two offroad trails. I felt pretty sketchy on certain parts, but was able to do some decent hill climbs, drop off a curb or two, and avoid falling when I hit some loose patches of soil. Had some embarrassing moments out there too, ha! But, it's a learning process and it's coming along at least!
