Step 4: How to Stop The safest way for a beginner to stop Practice gently moving forward and backward while holding on to the support. Feel your weight resting on the pedals of the EUC, between the ball of your foot and the heel of your foot. Hold on to a support and put both feet on the EUC.

Step 3: Stationary Balance Ideally, you should be able to support yourself even with just 1 or 2 fingers. With the leg on the EUC, use your feet to press down on the pedal to move it forward or backward, as you pivot around your other foot on the ground. Practice this with one leg standing on the ground.

Practice throttle control by pivoting with one leg on the ground To slow down or even move backward, you tilt it backward such as by pushing down on the heel of your foot. To move it forward, you tilt it forward such as by leaning forward or pushing down on the pedal with the ball of your feet. Make sure the EUC is directly below you, and not in front of you.Īn EUC moves forward like a hoverboard.The contact between your calf and the EUC should be along the middle of the EUC.Move your foot as close to the EUC as possible.Don’t worry about your overhanging toes – that’s normal. If your feet are too long for the pedal, slide your foot back until the ball of your foot is on the pedal. Make sure the balls of your feet are on the pedal. Position your dominant foot on the pedal with the arch of your foot in the middle of the pedal.The best beginner stance for riding an EUC begins with the correct foot position. Step 1: Beginner Stance Left: incorrect stance. Like a bicycle, the EUC needs to be moving forward to stay balanced. However, the self-balancing motors do not balance you from side to side. Unless you are incredibly strong, you won’t be able to tilt it forward while the wheels are touching the ground. When the EUC is turned on, then it activates self-balancing motors that keep it balanced forward and backward. When an EUC is turned off, it can fall in any direction, like a regular unicycle.

How Does an Electric Unicycle Work?īefore we get started, it helps to understand how an EUC works. Instead, if you are worried about scratching your EUC (yes it will fall hard several times), you can cover it with foam such as a dollar store yoga mat. I don’t suggest it because grass is usually very bumpy and this will make it harder to learn. Some people suggest riding on grass to avoid scratching your EUC. A basketball court or tennis court are excellent places. Where should you learn? The best place to learn is a wide open space with a smooth surface and some support that you can lean on. Wrist guards are also great.įor footwear, wear shoes that fit snugly, have very good traction, and if possible, with thin soles to help you feel the pedal more easily. I strongly recommend knee pads, hip pads, and elbow pads. It’s not only safer but you’ll also learn faster if you don’t have to be afraid of getting hurt. What do you need to bring? Besides your EUC, you absolutely must have protection. In this video, I show you how to ride an EUC, step-by-step: They’re fun and practical, and can help you get amazing videos.

In my videos about Insta360 and other cameras, you’ve seen me ride an EUC. In my opinion, it’s easier to learn than riding a skateboard, and definitely a lot easier than riding a regular unicycle. Personally, it took me 3 days to learn it. Other people take as little as 10 minutes, while others take longer than 2 weeks. For a lot of people, it can take a couple of hours. Have you seen those things that look like a one wheel cycle? Is it hard to learn? It’s called an electric unicycle (EUC), and it’s about the same as riding a bicycle for the first time.
