Small tip: You can set the beeper volume to 1 if you want the low voltage alarms to be less annoying (plus power on / off, lift switch sounds etc). The PWM alarm will always play at the maximum volume (9), so no need to worry.
That's a big tip actually. A local rider reminded me of this. Since I never use the beeper volume I had forgotten about it. And also good to know that the PWM alarm is unaffected by the volume level. Thanks for commenting 👍
Did not know this, thanks
I appreciate very much that you put metric measurements for everything!
Marty goes the whole 8.37metres 😂
@@freeforester1717 lol
He sure does. What a gem he is in the EUC community :)
UP! 😊
Since I started riding a year ago, I’ve also realized that long rides in the forest or along the fiord where I live is what I like. I never expected to come to a point where the 35-40 miles reachable on my 100V 1.230Wh MSX (at 20mph) would be an issue, but it is 😩
Riding 100 miles at 25-30mph would be absolutely amazing.
I really enjoyed this, thanks for the video. What a brilliant part of the world to ride in 👍🏾
This is a real feelgood-video. Im watching it now, maybe for the seventeenth time 😂 Thanks a million Marty. You are a positive force in the EUC world, and a great inspiration for me. Im getting a Master Pro in december, probably when there is half a meter snow here in Stockholm, Sweden 🥶🥶🥶
Thank you 🙂
As always Marty you have the best uni ride videos on CZcams 👍👍👍 stay safe brother 🙏
I appreciate that
I love this guy! He is truly the Mr. Rogers of EUCs 😉
Awesome video!!😎 thanks Marty!!🙏
I enjoyed the ride Marty , thanks
As usually great and atmospheric video. Thank you Marty!
Looking forward for next one :)
That was a great video Marty, would love to one day go on one of your epic rides!
Awesome dry trails, today I was smashing it back home from work in the rain at 8 degrees. This is spring lol
I like the tranquility in your film.
Master Pro for the win!
You are a cool dude Marty, very much appreciate your videos! Big thumbs up and my 1st EUC is ordered (T4), a lot of me getting into this has to do with your videos, so a big thank you for all you do for this hobby and the community!
Thank you for the nice comment. I hope you enjoy your EUC journey :-)
Great video
I live in Orange and I love riding the river trail from Orange to Huntington Beach pier and back 🤙🏼
I noticed my Master display didn't turn on until warmed up! Glad you confirmed this! Always worth watching your videos
I have too this problem. I think all master pro have this problem :D
Yep now I want this wheel even more Marty. I can’t wait to get mine but I want them to make all the improvements first lol.
B-E-A-utiful video Marty! Tip: If you can't ride seated, then you can do the following: when you go uphill move your feet 1-2 cm in front on the footrests. This way your center of mass shifts in front and the Pro goes by itself, you don't need to push it at all, you just stand on it and relax.Similar, when going downhill, move your feet backwards and the wheel will keep the speed easier without you struggling to brake, regardless of inclination. You can do this while riding, no need to stop for it to rearrange your feet, of course. This trick compensates for the huge weight of the wheel, you don't need to wrestle with it to push it uphill or drag it backwards to brake. Kudos.
Thanks for the tips. Yes, I ride seated but not yet on this wheel. I need to extend the height of the seat (for my bad knees) first.
Great vid.
Yes you are spoiled 😁.
Visiting you for a ride like that is on my bucket list. Just got to get the bucket first 🤣.
Cheers
love it i just can't Believe you're going up there and there's snow I know there must be like 1 million comments of like you must bring a chain the singular chain but anyway it looks beautiful out
Hi Marty, you make a compelling case for the Master Pro. The weight is the only issue for me and I have a ramp and it still might be a hassle I don't know. I've often said that you have the longest selfie stick in the business and one of my favorite parts of this video is when you said it was 9 feet long and you gave the metric conversion, LOL.
Glad you got a kick out my 9-foot conversion :-) The Master Pro weight is a lot, but like anything, you adjust to it eventually. The Sherman used to feel like a massive wheel. Not any more
Красавчик! Классное колесо! Привет из Самары!
So cool to see you leave from your house for a group ride. I’ve done the majority of my group rides from my house but very few driving to the start point. It doesn’t make sense to me to drive to a ride and the technology is starting to catch up.
Commented at the start of the video, not a group ride. Nice work/day
Danke. Ein sicher gemachtes Rad , somit sehr teures Rad. Pass gut darauf auf
Overpass tent city tours on an electric unicycle, the smell must be scintillating 😄😁🤣
You haven't lived yet
Loved the video. Did it come in red? Is the red a wrap or aftermarket cover?
I can feel that folks w/ the monster pro will have a hard time justifying a V13 or a Sherman S. It's a solid wheel.
The build quality is a big factor here. As much as I'd like 4800wh, Inmotion's build quality sealed the deal for me. A 4k wheel should absolutely be waterproof, with safety features to prevent crashing and trashing the wheel.
If range is important to a person they certainly will not buy a V13. The Sherman S has a 3600wh battery which is still nice. But for loooong rides absolutely nothing beats the Master Pro.
@@kreempa.i.8349inmotion build quality 😂😂. “Please prepare” “please prepare” and then cuts out
@@kreempa.i.8349 a $4k wheel should give you more than 40 miles range
Just feel I need to tell you. The Begode App have volume control for the beeper. So... when battery makes it beep, just turn the volume down... hugs from Sweden. EUCzero
Thank you. Yes, I was reminded about the beeper volume and it indeed works great for this purpose. And the extreme load beeps will still be full volume even if the normal beeper is set to 1.
A new DC chip would fix the issue with that display issue in cold temperatures. I had the same issue with mine. But it’s all good now after I installed the new DC chip
Yes, as I mentioned in the video. It's not important to me so personally I won't be bothering to fix my Master or Master Pro.
@@ElectricUnicycles yeah at fist it didn’t bother me as much. But sometimes when I turn it off during a group ride and the guys wants to hurry and go I have to wait 5 minutes sometimes longer before I have to shut off again and turn it back on to work. After a while it gets annoying. So I’m just happy it’s working normal again as should be LOL 👍🏽
im new to euc and i got the T4 and when its cold the display does not turn on. from what it sounds like from you is that the display not working its not a big deal i was kinda scaird the wheel would cut out because of that. i got over 200 miles on my t4 and i never had a cut out and it runs beautiful
You have NOTHING to worry about regarding the display not working and the functioning of the wheel balancing. It's a DC/DC sub-board that provides power to the lights and display. Begode has a simple hardware fix. Contact you dealer for the replacement board (extremely simple to install).
The Sherman S seems to be the winner of suspensions. I noticed the Commander Pro seems to have taken the same system. In your opinion, do you think Begode will eventually follow the same suspension as Leaperkim, since the commander is connected to Begode?
Me and a lot of people would be disappointed if Begode followed Veteran regarding the suspension. The Sherman S is very nice but the KingSong and Begode suspension designs, based on a single shock and linkages, is much better than what Veteran and Inmotion is doing. IMHO.
Hey Marty I forgot to add on that on my Master I was able to change the display to miles so you might be able to do that for yours too. Besides the inconvenience of not having the display come on when it's cold, is it's safe to ride in the cold when the display isn't working, meaning is there anything else that may not be working properly in the cold? I hope you don't blow Duf's mind too much when he's there to the point where he wants to move from Florida. Speaking of death, what stand would you use for the Master Pro? Like you, I use Duf's stands but I don't know if I would want to lift the Master Pro onto one. I wonder if he will be making one with a ramp, hint, hint.
I will have to try it with my Master. I didn't think my V1 version supported it. The issue with the display not working as to do with the DC sub-board that powers the lights, speaker, and display. It has nothing to do with the main control board, so yes, it's safe.
Duf's stand has been working perfectly for my 121-pound Master Pro.
I think we killed Duf on his first 65-mile mountain ride. You can ask him about the experience LOL
I just went from a Nikola AR+ (67 lbs) to a Master (80 lbs) and adjusted pretty quickly. I wonder if I could do the same to a Master Pro 😳 She's a hefty momma @ 118 lbs lol
you will, trust me! see my comment on zen's vid
V13 weights more I believe the master pro is sitting at 105 pounds v13 weights 110
Perhaps you cover this in another video, but can you please tell me what your microphone and camera setup is?
Insta 360 X, voice recorder, lapel mic, and dog trainers 🙂 See the link in the Description to my Amazon store where you find the specific items.
Around 37:10 it looks like there are a pair of aliens in the window behind you...
LOL
What are Your thoughts on swappable or expandable battery for the EUC? Like carrying a few more extra kWh in the backpack (or in the EUC-trailer!).
Maybe even connected by wire with the EUC. Maybe not (e.g. for safety reasons).
It is inevitable that we will see power extentions trailers, like rickshaws and wheelbarrows, being developed to further the irrelevance of car culture. Exciting times!
@@grb1969 Oh, yes :)
There is already some progress in swapping modules/stations for electric scooters in Asia.
Would be great if something like that was available for EUCs too.
I have known people who have made their wheels modular (e.g., the S18) and brought battery packs along in the backpack. They have told me it's an awful experience. Carrying extra batteries on your back is not a pleasant experience. Much better to buy a wheel that has the battery capacity that you need.
@@ElectricUnicycles This was my main concern that EUCs are getting too heavy. But also built-in battery capacity is never enough.
On the other hand, I don't do long (and fast) rides every day, so not sure if it is smart to buy largest possible battery for just in case.
Great to hear that somebody already tried modularisation. Thanks!
@@ElectricUnicycles I think plug and play batteries would be great only for loading and unloading the wheel from your car
Holy crap Batman, your bike pathways are sooo long & straight. Pathways in my neck of da woods are way curvy & 30-40mph is tops & thats only for a short stretch. In some ways, I like it as it reminds me of a race track type enviroment, of which I do indulge myself sans traffic ofcos. If I hear you complain once more about the crappy storms & whatever SoCal is 'suffering' thru, I'm gonna start to hate you Cali crybabies😁 . In contrast, its been hovering around 5f all day & is ~-10f as I type this 🥶. So envy you Californians. The red Clark fairings look great on the Pro
Yeah, I'm spoiled with the quality and quantity of trails surrounding me 🙂
Mount Baldy, .... "What did Yul Brenner's wife do on their wedding night."
Your roads don’t look bad at all. Is suspension necessary?
Within 1-year every EUC made with few exceptions will have suspension. Once you use suspension you will realize how good it is regarding of the conditions of your roads :-)
You have to realize that bigger batteries make energy consumption goes higher and higher because the weight of the wheel goes up and so does the power of the motor. From a certain point on, diminishing return will make it unprofitable. My Nikola+ average energy consumption vary from 25- 34wh but on my Commander on the other hand, it varies from 33-40 and the wheel is only like 8 kg heavier. Im wonder what is the average energy consumption on this monstrous wheel in your video. Cheers..
True, yet every wheel with the bigger batteries gets more range. So even if the Master Pro might be less efficient than the Commander (not proven) I'll still take the bigger battery 🙂
@@ElectricUnicycles You can check the efficiency of your wheels by yourself in EUC World app. It is called average energy consumption. Hope you will make a video about it one day and share your thoughts with us...
A fuel cell hybrid unicycle will be a viable solution for range if we don’t see a substantial increase in energy density from alternative battery chemistry. Combined with swappable batteries and the range will increase as weight of wheels decreases. Good times ahead.
Can you ride this comfortable seated? For long rides seated riding is just the ultimate way for me
Not comfortably, yet. I have knee issues so I first need to extend the height of this seat.
Why that beeps? Mine Tesla T3 do not do that. Even at 8% It beeps only if exceed the 80% of power...
Master Pro V2 or EX30?? Welcome your thoughts.
Master Pro if you want maximum range and comfort.
How’s the suspension on the Pro, Is it the same as the Master?
Appears to be the same suspension yet it feels much softer (with I like). But it's easy enough to install different shocks based on your needs. I really like the stock shock.
I bought the master and did not know about the master pro until after. Bummer on the range
Yeah, new wheels are always coming out. It can be difficult to keep current. My Master is still a fantastic wheel though
@@ElectricUnicycles Yeah, yeah. Gonna be fun teaching my friends how to ride the V12HT next spring while I ride the Master. (:
What happened to your cross country trip of the US
Cancelled due to personal difficulties
Battery wise... there is no challenger. Not even in the near future. The Master Pro is the only choice. Unless Begode competes with themselves and release a 4800Wh Monster Pro.
funny how people from cali will be like its so cold and us guys from portland are like god i wish thats how cold it was to ride lol
Heh, yeah? Try living in Southern Alberta Canada right now, -30 c/-22f with wind chill making it feel like -40c/-40f. Might not be able to ride my V12 HT or my Master 50E or my Surron X until springtime...lolo. ):
You don't have any sidewalks in your neighborhoods. It so strange. What if you need to go to the nearest grocery store or post office, what would you do? Have to take a car or what?
The community has solutions for almost all concerns:
czcams.com/video/bZ-2eINtHxY/video.html
@@grb1969 there's no sidewalk near Marty's house at all. In your video we can see one. Its a different story
@@Pogodindenis Sidewalks are useful when learning to ride but otherwise why not ride in the streets and pathways? I’m simply confused by the nature of the question being presented. Why own a car or bicycle when a unicycle potentially does both jobs better or cheaper? It’s not a universal solution but for those who prefer unicycles to other modes of transportation, sidewalks are irrelevant other than their right to share public infrastructure. Unicycles have been demonstrated to be viable for errands, delivery services, fun and essential transportation. Personally, I have trouble walking, so unicycles have been as helpful to me as a wheelchair is to others… and I’ll thank the ADA regulations for making them more accessible to all. But, again, maybe I’m misunderstanding your concerns.
@@grb1969 common sense tells us that every street has path for car and at least sidewalk for pedestrians. In Marty's district I didn't see path for pedestrians i.e. sidewalk. That's all. Nothing special about my question. His district implies no walking at all. It's kinda strange to me
@@Pogodindenis 👌
What city was that at 2:18?.. 🤢🤮
I don't think it has a name yet :-)
The cyclists don't nasty when you ride on the bike path? They sure do where I live.
Very rarely happens here.
People will need a trunk monkey to get them in and out of the car.
lift wit yo legs, not yo back (;
My Opinion: I understand how you like that big battery! BUT: The Master Pro seams - in comparison to other big battery wheels - really need a LOT of energy. when calculating here we have a need of 30wh for one kilometer, while “normal” is more 20-25wh, at that speed (max 30mph) more on 20/22wh per km.
i have seen riders with 3600wh battery like Sherman max or other 3600wh wheels doing group rides with the Master Pro, where at the end the master pro was at 0% and the other, smaller battery wheels still having 10-15%. Thats a bit of a bummer, seeing that 3600wh wheels can go the same way.
Seams the extra 1200wh are eaten by wheel size of 22inch, just my uneducated guess :-)
Other than that i also got a lot cravings to get a 4800wh Pro , haha, but in the end the price pushes me away also. In my view these 4-5000dollar prieces are not justified AT ALL……..
Just my 2 cents….
good video, keep the good things going ❤
Here I have to fully disagree with you Ulf. Based on all the riding that I'm doing with the Master Pro I get substantially more range than with my 3600wh wheels and I'm moving much faster.
Also, early on, some of our local Master Pro riders were reporting low battery "percentages" based on crappy apps (Darknessbot) or uncalibrated EUC World. One person thought he had 36% remaining battery but actually had closer to 60%.
The Master Pro voltage goes down to 96-volts whereas the Master goes to 104-volts.
So I would question the people reporting low battery levels.
Around @5:50 probably why I think it is my new favorite wheel at least for this month 😂😂😂😂😂, I had to laugh, these 🛞 are coming out faster than the boat
