How to start learning to ride an EUC

[EUC_Senior]

Thank you Barry! It means ALOT that you take the time out to help me out!!

I’m finally able to mount!! ❤❤❤
I practiced by first holding on to a dumpster and kept putting my other foot on about 30 times to build muscle memory and confidence. Then I took my hand off of the dumpster and tried it without any support and I did it over and over again!!! Took me FOREVER to get the confidence to just get my other foot on! SCARY!!!! Took me a month!!
And once I am on I zip around all over for miles!
I am 62 years old! I hope what I said helps someone else.

Barry I just made my own YouTube channel called, “EUC Senior” It’s me showing people at 62 years old that I can ride an Inmotion V5F. And hopefully it encourages other more older people that riding an EUC is POSSIBLE!
Thanks for your help!

Barry I finally rode the Inmotion V5F without the training brushes! I rode for about 30 seconds but I finally rode it without any help. I noticed that the thing started wobbling a lot! I thought that you just had to increase the speed by leaning more forward. It did go faster but it still wobbled a lot. Not sure why? I looked straight ahead like you said and I also turned just by looking to the right. (You’re right that’s weird.) Since it was wobbling a lot my brain told me to hop off, so I hopped off (without killing myself) instead of leaning back but I had to act quick! Main thing is, why was it wobbling so much?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I trust in you.

Just touching base. I am riding my Inmotion V5F almost every day before I start work and also during break time without any brushes. The wobbling is gone if I RELAX and be more CONFIDENT! Found something interesting regarding movement and turning. I don’t have to think about using my toes or heels to move it AND I don’t have to look left or right to turn! It reads my brain??? It knows what to do? Weird! I am still having the HARDEST TIME trying to get on the wheel when I am starting off no matter what technique I use. (Yours and other videos on YouTube) I keep on getting scared to just put my second foot on. Hopefully it comes with time? Not sure if I should think about something when I try to get my second foot on to take my mind off of being scared. Once I am on the wheel using assistance such as a post or a wall I am 90 percent fine! It’s just that with no assistance scares me BIG TIME!
