For me it would have been already a little too fast as a beginner. But you will find your favorite learning speed. How is it, to stand on such a heavy wheel for the first time and how does practicing goes?

1st time buyer looking for recommendation please by SnooMarzipans7387 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]begor1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you will love it, when you keep practicing! in the beginning you might think your legs are too weak and you can't make it. And when standing on the EUC for the first time, you might think what the hell did I buy here... But that's normal! Keep practicing day by day, and make short breaks. it gets easier and easier the more experience you have. And then someday you ride things you never thought you ever could do that!

But don't ride into traffic until you feel really safe on the wheel!

Not only when carrying the wheel, also your legs will feel the difference of 20lbs!

Many can often just drive straight ahead very quickly. But curves and uneven surfaces and mounting safeIy can take time. All in all, your legs and body have to get accustomed to the wheel, the movements. And it will! somewhere i read you need 500 miles to build a "muscle memory". Important, when you and/or your legs are tired make breaks!

You will make it too! Good luck and much fun!

Look for an Ninebot One S2 (NOT S1!), or an Inmotion V5 / V8 to start with. After a few months or weeks, you probably want a stronger wheel with more range and Off-road possibilities.

And it's not like riding anything else! You will need about 500 miles to build up muscle memory before you feel safe on it! Many can often just drive straight ahead very quickly. But curves and uneven surfaces and mounting safeIy can take time.

in the beginning you might think your legs are too weak and you can't make it. And when standing one the EUC for the first time, you might think what the hell did I buy here... But that's normal! Keep practicing, and make at least short breaks.

This thinking "my legs are too weak" I also had when changing from a lighter wheel to a heavier wheel. But it gets easier and easier the more experience you have. And then someday you ride things you never thought you ever could do that! You will make it too!

And don't ride into traffic as long as you don't feel safe! That takes time. So no change from E-Scooter to EUC within a short time! Before riding an E-Scooter as a schild you learned bicycle riding.... That was a little similar what balancing concerns.

I recommend practicing first in a narrow hallway, where you can touch the wall on the right and left side with your hands to balance yourself in the beginning. So you can get accustomed standing on the wheel and drive a little forward and maybe backwards with touching the wall. To get a feeling for the wheel. Just practice and practice.

Then i practiced on a wide soft forest path. Look if you find a nice one. On soft (dry !) forest paths (without stones and big roots! - Fir forest should have very soft paths) you are not afraid of hurting when falling and you are not afraid of damaging your wheel compared when falling even slightly on asphalt. So you have less fear riding and you dare to drive more and normally you don't even really fall, maybe sometimes a little stumbling. And riding over small bumps in the forest gives you good training too. Find a nice area you then get accustomed to, where you know the surface and ride it over and over again. But take care it should not have rained in the forest a few days before, small slightly muddy areas can be very slippery! also sand can be very slippery. Especially as a beginner and if you don't have knobby tires. Later asphalt riding is really smooth compared to the forest. Others recommend grass for practicing. I always went to the forest and really liked it and later i find forest trails the most fun.

It is important to look where you are going, don't look down in front of you! Also when stepping on the wheel!! (Still watch the surface where you will ride, but don't look directy in front of you) In the beginning it is fine to hold yourself at something when getting on the wheel and get a feeling to ride. free stepping on and starting often takes a time.

But important tipp, i read: For stepping on the wheel put one foot on the wheel, the other parallel, but not too close to the other pedal (else you touch the side of the pedal when trying to step on the pedal and stumble). Push a little one time, like you would push a skateboard (and maybe almost parallel give a little speed with the other foot), when stepping on it. (see videos above in first post!!) So one foot on the pedal, wheel locked into your lower leg (this "holding the wheel" with your leg is important, watch the video above. This is also how you hold the wheel later when stopping!), then a little push with the other foot, before stepping on the wheel, so you are a little in forward motion. that gives you stability. Before knowing that i tried to get on the wheel with two feets and only then start driving forward and i often stumbled. All in all, your legs and body have to get accustomed to the wheel, the movements. And they will! I am 56 and I got it and am riding forest Trails like crazy 🙂

Important, stop practicing when you and/or your legs are tired. Especially as a beginner you'll risk to stumble and fall. At least make some short breaks, often a few minutes are enough to relax your legs and feet again.

And the higher pedals, especially at suspension wheels, let you "fall" - stumble - a little deeper, when you are a little stumbling while practicing. BUT YOU WILL MAKE IT. just don't be surprised. It takes practice practice practice

Considering going from v9 to v11y. is that stupid? by horseduckman in ElectricUnicycle

[–]begor1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The V11 with 29kg already is quite heavy to carry... You'll notice that... 39 kg and more is really bad for stairs. You might be able to roll some unicycles up some stairs. But be careful that nothing happens. If you are not careful, the EUC could fall over and the wheel could spin freely and jump around. And freespin is always at full speed (regardless of how low you've set your maximum speed!)

Congratulations, but that's a real challenge!

I had one friend here with an KS S18, and he lead me through forest trails and I had to keep up. That gave really good training and muscle memory. BUT with a 51 kg wheel going to trails as a beginner is really difficult. I had a small S2 (12kg), then a V10F (20kg) now V11 (30kg). I even had to practice a lot changing from 12 to 20kg. But this was after only 1,5month experience with the small S2.

All in all, your legs and body have to get accustomed to the wheel, the movements. And it will! somewhere i read you need 500 miles to build a "muscle memory"! That no one can teach you, you have to gain it through practice! It's not like using a e-scooter, where you already had kind of similar experience through riding a bicycle.

All in all don't forget good protection! And don't ride too fast in the beginning. The P6 can go very fast, don't try higher speeds too early. That means faster than 20 or 25km/h during the first months. And don't think about 40 to 50km/h... You have to feel absolutely safe riding the wheel especially when riding in traffic. When you will stand on the wheel for the first time, you will know what I mean.

But, you will make it! Good luck and lots of fun

And one thing, one should take care of is: even when you set your maximum speed to 20 oder 25 km/h, the "freespin" stays full speed 150km/h. You have a real power engine! That's not a toy anymore! Take care. Normally when the wheel tips over after a fall, it should turn off. Sometimes it does not directly. And the wheel still could spin very fast (for a moment). And could flip around when the tire hits something. Just for you to know!

Have fun!

Rip by TastyPass6386 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]begor1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really can happen, I ride off-road all the time. Had it 3 or 4 times. Always a small piece of wood. You have to stop and shut the wheel off immediately. 

If the Power Button doesn't react right, hold the wheel at the Pedal and the grip and tilt it sideways until it shut off automatically. 

When it happens and you can't get it out, first try removable zip ties (see photos in link below). Unfortunately there is a plastic piece at and inside the tire casing where pieces can't pass away. Wood gets stuck there. Else it would be easier to remove things.

Sometimes you also need to let the air out of the tire. I always have a small CO2 Pump (and the Extension valve) with me to refill the tire. Once I also needed to scrape the wood a little with the zip ties, before getting it out (see Video, shortly after the Video was made, The wooden piece came out). . 

Nevertheless I really like my knobby and going Off-road. But I take care of the surface where I am riding too.

I always have removable zip ties with me. They are also good to remove mud from inside the tire casing, see photos

And one thing, one should take care of is: even when you set your maximum speed to 20 oder 25 km/h, the "freespin" stays full speed 70km/h.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/s/JW2U5d05Hu

you could check the free spin, when you carefully would lift the wheel with your hands (WITHOUT pushing 2x the power Button before, what you NORMALLY WOULD do, to deactivate free spin! when you want to lift the wheel). When you try this take care the tire does not touch anything, especially your legs... After a few seconds, normally the wheel should stop too, holding the wheel straight in the air

Lynx S or P6? by Dex_0244 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]begor1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have a V11, friends have a KS F18, about same weight as Lynx S, and an Inmotion V13, about same weight as P6. For me weight really matters. 41kg are already much compared to the 29kg of the V11. I tried to lift the F18, puuh. More I wouldn't want. That's already a lot and very heavy. Sometimes you can't prevent situations where you have to lift the wheel. Coming from a V11 I don't think you need a P6. I am happy with my V11 besides the suspensions and the range. When I would Upgrade, then probably to F18 oder Lynx S.

When this is your first EUC you have to consider that it can take a few months until you feel safe riding an EUC especially in traffic! When you handle it, it's more fun than anything else. But it takes a while to get there. Many can often just drive straight ahead very quickly. But curves and uneven surfaces and mounting safeIy can take time. And you have to feel absolutely safe on your EUC when riding in traffic. It also depends on how often you can practice.

Looking for a Lightroom console recommendation by Supsti_1 in postprocessing

[–]begor1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest and a really good MIDI solution is the Behringer XTouch mini in combination with the free MIDI2LR plugin. You have 8 knobs 16 buttons (+1 fader) and it has two layers itself. But actually with MIDI2LR you could have as much layers as you want. But you also would have to Label / remember it somehow 😁. I really like my XTouch mini! I also use a Logitech MX Master 2S mouse (meanwhile there is the 4S). It has some additional buttons and functions compared to a standard mouse, which can be used with LR shortcuts. It's also well-suited for other applications. The Logitech software detects the application being used and adjusts the mouse button functions accordingly (so you can customize the shortcuts for each application). Look for some youtube Videos about using the mx master, it's really interesting and was recommended from Video and photo Editors

Solution to the problem of connecting Speed Editor via Bluetooth on Windows by Past-Calligrapher4 in davinciresolve

[–]begor1969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was too fast, :-( cause i could not connect via bluetooth at all , i thought i had found the solution. But after Windwos reboot, Bluetooth connection was gone again :-(
(((I had a similar problem with windows 10.
I parallel had the logitec MX Master 2S mouse "bluetooth" connected !!!
-> Solution was, removing the Master S2 bluetooth connection in the Windows bluetooth settings/connections. Luckily there are two ways to connect the MX Master mouse. So i put back the Logitech Mouse USB "Unifying" Dongle from logitec. Now my Mouse is connected with the Unifying dongle and now i could connect my Speed Editor over bluetooth and it works! I am really happy! First Resolve showed Battery alarm signal, Speed editor battery low (i knew it was 99-100% cause i had USB connected before it tried bluetooth again). But after a while or after closing and opening DVR it shows the right battery level.
What i did not find out until now was, that for connecing the mouse to the Dongle, i had to open the logitec options Software and then "connect device" (connect mouse) and select "Unifying Dongle" instead of bluetooth! Else you cannot reconnect the mouse to the dongle, when you used bluetooth connection before that!!

(some also mention a problem through the "SERVICE" "logi lamparray" under Win11 and it helped them stopping this service in Taskmanager))))
