Who Wins OFF-ROAD? Onewheel vs EUC

I explore a beautiful mountain trail on my KingSong 16S during the autumn season to check out the leaves and their changing colors. I compare this ride to a ride I took almost one year before on my Onewheel XR. During this ride I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the EUC to the Onewheel XR when it comes to off-road trails.

That darn Jimmy! Back when he first got the EUC I gave him a hard time about the Onewheel being better. But I stuck with learning the EUC and now I can go in a straight line for a good distance, am slowly getting the hang of turning and hopefully will soon be able to get on it without leaning against something. And guess what? They’re different beasts but both are really, really fun. Darn you’re calm, cool, rational demeanor Jimmy Chang!!!!

We just got a Onewheel and now you made us want an EUC!

*It took my, very agile, grandson a few days, but he is doing great. Great for balance Unicycle **Latest.Bike** and coordination. He likes it alot.*

Very fascinating how things evolved over the year.
I'm an avid Onewheeler that just bought his first EUC (Begode Master). This thing opened up everything that the Onewheel was struggling on or flat out couldn't do. While I totally prefer the riding stance and nimbleness of the OW, I'll have to say that by now (end of 2022), offroad capability switched in favour of EUC. Some of them are nearly Uni-Motocross by now. Really curious to see how this evolves in the future, while FM is stuck playing alone.

Maybe you could make an updated video comparing how it changed with the newer models? The GT vs some newer EUC could give a nice update.

I watched it to the end. As part of the Oak City OneWheel group in Raleigh we do ride on dirt trails often. We frequently have EUC riders join us. We have total respect for them on the trails. They outperform the OneWheel is the may aspects you pointed out. I believe EUCs are the future of electric off-road rideables.

Anyone that says a One Wheel is better at off road than an EUC has been living under a rock.

[VacheManoukian]

Both are awesome!
Like you said, as long as people are getting outside and feeling the stoke 🤙

Love the update portion of the video! The growth is amazing. Love it.

I adore that you're learning from and paying your kids - that is awesome. You rock.

I bought my first XR because of you. I'm in love with it. Did my first nosedive already, didn't follow your rules :(. Not giving it up. Thank you, this is life changing for someone like me.

Another great video, Jimmy. I started watching your video awhile back when I saw you riding an EUC since I have been an EUCer since 2015. I have always liked your organized, thorough approach to explaining things. You hit the nail on the head why the EUC is perfect for off road. Your video definitely has a newer feel and all for the better. Keep up the great work!

[brettnordling]

I have both I love the onewheel its beautiful feeling riding one like your floating on a tyre. The EUC is tricky but gives real feel of freedom and exhilation.

You’re incredibly humble, yet your videos are very detailed and very informative! Thank you, wishing your channel much more views and many more active subscribers 😎

[sebastiancroft]

You and Adam Savage are the reason that I got my onewheel pint. I am loving it! I have never done board sports and your videos really helped me feel comfortable starting out! I took a lot of your tips and tricks to heart. I look forward to the growth on this channel! If you are ever in Portland, Oregon I'd love to go for a ride!

[Swinghi]

I have definitely noticed the improvement. I like that you are expanding in ridables. I came for the OneWheel content but I am starting to lean the EUC route.

Hey, Mr. Chang I've got an idea for a video. Could you test the effect of speed on downhill regeneration? You seem to have some great long hills to work with. I'm guessing for a given slope, there is a "sweet spot" where you will get the most regeneration. Faster than that and the wind resistance will take most of your energy. Thanks for the great videos.

[michaelcronin]

I always love the channel and how it has grown quite a bit definitely appreciating it it’s a big part of my relaxing in the evening I don’t really watch TV and watch you guys thank you! Love the one wheel XR! But I have three electric unicycle’s now! Incredible

Regarding riding slowly and standing in place - once your leg muscles and balance allow you to ride with one leg on the EUC, the EUC may actually have the advantage. You can easily step on and off the EUC while keeping one leg on the EUC. Placing one foot on the ground allows you to relax the pressure on your feet & legs while still allowing you to ride & control the EUC with the other foot.

There seems to be so much debate about EUC's vs the Onewheel. Ride what you like best, it's that simple. It doesn't have to be either/or. I have both the Kingsong and a Onewheel, and I would choose the Onewheel 10/10. It's just how it rides and feels so much better than the EUC. It's just personal preference and choice. I'm actually going to sell the EUC and keep the Onewheel. Either way, just enjoy which ever ride you like the most and have a blast out there.

Primary purpose makes choice easier. I walk up/down stairs at least twice a trip. I carry groceries and the trolley handle can help carry. I also drive up and down drive ways to get away from traffic. Im old so i limit my speed to 15mph. Cause i don't bounce like i use to. I like this type of equipment but what works for me isn't the same as what works for you. Follow the fun!

good stuff Jimmy! happy for you to see the progress your channel is making! your videos kept my stoke high while i waited for my Pint earlier in the year! lots of lov from Malaysia!
