My First TIRE CHANGE (WITH ISSUES!!) - Veteran Sherman EUC

This is my first teardown and tire change for the Veteran Sherman Electric Unicycle. No longer am I riding on a Knobby but now changed it to the Michelin Pilot Street 2 . This was my first tear down of any EUC and MISTAKES were made!

Well done, CyberVolt. I'm definitely not looking forward to changing the tire on my wheel. Hopefully in the near future, EUC companies will make them easier to service and change a tire.

Hey thanks for the shout out. I just took mine apart today. maintenance. Still riding it as my daily. No issue with my bearings which is surprising.

Tire tread direction: You must have bought a tire designed to be a high performance front tire. That tread is intended to enhance braking performance on a motorcycle. However (I doubt that it makes much difference on an EUC) but an EUC will probably get more good out of the tread chevrons facing forward, as viewed from the top of the tire, due to enhanced ability to clear water away from the tire contact patch.

Great video so far. The axle screws where the 6 screws are. It's cracked on mine on both sides. still rides good . So I dont worry about axel screws and cracked plastic around the screws.

Appreciate you brother...and congrats on getting the job done...I did this with another Max rider yesterday and it took us 6-7 hours to do 2...it was our first as well so there was a lot of youtubing in between cursing matches.

Thanks for taking us on your tire changing journey bro. Can’t wait to hear whether you like that better than the knobby

The motor cables shouldn't go over the Bluetooth module. They should go around it. The cables will affect the Bluetooth signal.

Taking pictures when disassembling, eg showing the colours of the wires going to the respective connecting terminal poles can be of help too when re-assembling the wheel. If you remove the inner valve pin when letting the air down, you’ll definitely get all the air out of the tube; to check for pinch punctures you can partially reinflate the tube just to a medium pressure, then rotate the tube under a basin full of water, you’ll see bubbles appear if you’ve nipped the tube. The tyre lever spoons you are using are rather short for the purpose of levering the tyre over the rim, I’d consider getting longer ones. Well done all the same, I’m sure you’ll notice a great difference in the ride of your wheel!

Good vid.
I learned something very important, dont by the VS 🤣
Cheers

The Sherman Max has extra bolts under the case that feels impossible to unscrew

[haroldsmith]

That was very educational; thank you for showing us. The difficulty of this basic task has somewhat put me off the idea of buying an EUC.

Instead of using a bucket, would a milk crate work dimensionally?

I find it immensely frustrating that you have to go through all that disassembly just to change a damn tire. These things are not designed to be user serviceable. I've had mine apart several times, and yes, each time it is quicker than before, but still too much of a hassle. Imagine having to go through all that every time you have a flat on your car. On the plus side, you get to see how everything is put together.

Not sure if it will make that huge of a difference but I run the tire tread the other direction. Would be better in water also.

[ajibub]

What is the difference between the Michelin vs the knobby? Is the knobby train tracking? Knobby is good for puncture resistance I would think.

[kevinwauman]

I've got bad news for you, you put the tire in the reversed direction 😅

[noredmx]

Did you ever fix the trolley handle popping out? Having the same issue on mine.

[jarehelt]

Does corn starch baby powder work? I don't think they put talc in baby powder anymore. Im worried about friction wearing the tube over time

[milordas]

do not need to izolating motor cables, realy, they not under voltage when youre disconnecting batteries. Imo, it would be wise to add additional jack for motor wires, to do not need to get under controller cover

[robaba]

You said you took the roll cage off just to put it on the bucket..
Just so anyone who reads this knows.. it's not a skippable step.

You can not pull the motor out without removing the roll cage.
