Thanks for watching the video Kingsong 16x - What went WRONG!?!? Electric Unicycle | evX

16X is my first wheel and had only ridden my friends innmotion V8 before the 16x. Mine came with the CYT tire. After hearing all this talk about gyro effect and people having to get used to that I was a little nervous that I would like it. Prob helped that I didn’t have much to compare to and that I mostly learned on the 16x but man, I love this wheel!! I completely agree that It likes a little forward lean and weight shift in the turn. The more I ride it, the more I love it! I can just rip this thing around and it delivers! One reviewer said it’s like you fight the wheel a little. I’ve ridden motorcycles for years and this wheel makes me feel right at home, leaning and shifting my weight in turns. It becomes rewarding when you get it down and super stable in my opinion.

Love your reaction at 6:52. It's so interestingly true to your own feelings. Besides the way you describing the fat tyre causing "gyro effect" so distinctive and clearly one of the best for what I've seen on youtube. Keep up the good work and best of luck to become one of the best "reviewers/spokesperson " for our EUC world.

Nice editing and video, looking forward to more!

Great video. Would have loved to seen a "Changing the 16X Tire" video. If you switch the tire back, think about filming it :-)

When I first got my z10 I was in despair, it was so foreign, now I won’t ride anything but the 16x or z10

Wow! What an accurate and honest video. I own 4 wheels and have been struggling to fall in love with my new 16x. You articulated the issues and the techniques needed to tame it very accurately. I like the incredible range, the look of it, the lights and the audio quality. However, I am not very happy with the heavy weight and the general feel of it after two weeks of experience with it. While I frequently ride on gravel trails, grass, etc. I am not one to suit up in full body armor and race through the woods with my wheels. So I find that on sidewalks and streets, the wide tire is quite grabby and it scares you once in a while when it grabs grooves etc. I find it is a lot more tiring on the roads than other wheels
. Not as relaxing and nimble as my 16S and 18L. It is so heavy that it's a real burden to carry it up a flight of steps. I've considered selling mine but, as you said in the video, there are times when the power and capabilities win you over. Maybe I'll try a tire change. Again, GREAT VIDEO and your mixed emotions about the 16X mirror mine!

If you ride motorcycles, specifically cafe style bikes, this is a natural way to ride. I've tried a few of these and found that my many years of riding motorcycles made this an easy transition for me. Now that I'm planning to purchase one I'll keep the tire issue in mind. That stock tire looks like it has a flatter profile. Like on motorcycles, tires are everything. They should give you options when ordering

[eddiemoy]

Awesome video! I also love the original tire as much as I hated it in the beginning. For me the gyro effect caused it to be more stable when riding at high speeds. The only reason I didn't keep the original tire is because transitioning from a gyro to a non gyro wheel requires some time to adjust. So I think if this is your only wheel, stick with the original tire and learn to ride it.

[halavich]

Please tell us about your equipment. Your helmet is awesome

[donkeydem]

Excellent video thank you. If you ever switch your tire back to the original one could you please make a video of it?

When o bought my Z10 it felt very strange to me and i did not like it, but after experementing with different tire pressure (now 28 psi) and riding it for about 2-3 weeks. I love it! Now when i ride the Gotway msuper it feels just as strange as i thought the Z10 felt in the beginning. I think i would like the 16X with stock tire.

Great content
I have been reviewing the 16x so I found it very useful.
Cheers

Moral of the story: all things new seem awkward at first. But muscle memory is a funny thing. Almost gives us a bias because we think things should feel a certain way. Until we are trying something that does all the things it should but in a different way. Our initial response is usually uncomfortable and awkward. Until we build new muscle memory which makes it more intuitive. It all comes down to neural passageways and how flexible they are, weather we know it or not.

[Eddie_freeflow]

wow great video and excellent quality!!! this is something I can relate to I went from a tesla to a msx, me personally I like the fat tyre

[herbieherb]

I fucking 100%agree with you brother. I feel like I’m turning on a motorcycle but this is a unicycle.

[ThaBlackCobra]

Great video! I love the edits, the music and the content. I’m glad you compared the tires because I have been hearing so much about it and I really don’t want to change. Listening to your honest review made me feel that it’s definitely not a necessity more of a choice and that gave me comfort so thanks. I started on a V-8 then I bought a used tesla which ended up having some issues and now I have the 16 X which I love. Looks like we both will be doing more videos on the 16 X. I look forward to checking out more. check mine out when you get a chance, happy trails ... ride safe.

[UStride]

Love you're video setup. Exciting, clean and informative. I recommend trying medium or soft mode. Love the wife comment lol

[vida-wang]

Thank you for the video I think I got some information from here.

[talpajam]

is there a self-balancing EUC for disabled riders (like, using the handle - but stays upright like a Segway) ? this would be a game changer for someone w/ paralysis in one lower leg.

[paulgreenlee]

Your body syncs up with your wheel, that’s why getting used to a gyro effect wheel takes so long. It makes an extremely stable riding platform and an awesome carving machine. Other wheels will seem fancy an unsubstantial
