been watching videos of people picking it up in 15 minutes, I'm on day three and can't go 10 feet, seeing someone not instantly succeed like me really helped thanks!

I’m feeling every second of this pain right now. I have never felt like giving up. Just go another day and try again like you!

Kudos to you for not giving up! You demonstrated a lot of persistence and resolve!

Michael, that is one of the most inspiring videos I’ve seen on learning to ride. Very many thanks, I much enjoyed. 👍

I just got my KingSong 16X yesterday. I’ve been practicing all day today and some yesterday but I realized the WHOLE TIME, I was in expert mode. I made a little progress. I was able to ride it a few times for a short while before losing balance. Other times I can’t even get on. I can’t even get stand with one foot on it without it wanting to turn dramatically. Even when I’m on it, I can’t stop myself from turning (to the left usually) and then being thrown off. But now that I have it on beginner mode, hopefully practice goes smoother next time. The fact I made a bit of progress on expert gives me a little more confidence.

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! Started my first day yesterday and can TOTALLY relate. Too sore today to ride, but may try to pad up my calves and try anyway. The success you finally earned is very consoling. The early failures are just heartbreaking from my attempts, so funny. I’ll cut this short now and try to get out there one way or another for another stab. Bravo Michael - and THANKS

How do you feel now two years later?? I just purchased my wheel and it got to me yesterday. Today was the first “full” day I’ve had with it. I’ve been kinds forcing myself to ride it. I just don’t get the whole balancing thing. Although I had moments where I was riding it a good while before I lost balance. Other times it’s like I can’t even get on the dang thing. But literally a few minutes before writing this, I went into my app settings and say I was in “expert mode” the entire time. I just now switched it to beginner so I’m gonna give it another try tomorrow. But seeing how I was able to make a bit of progress on expert, I feel confident I’ll be able to do much better next time. Hopefully.

Michael, you did a great job! I bought a sherman max in march of 22 and circumstances have put it on the back burner all this time but this spring/summer things will hopefully lighten up so I can learn it. I did cheat tho, I got a big industrial parking lot broom and cut the head in half and got big host clamps from NAPA to hold the broom pieces on the bottoms of the pedals lol. I'm too old to hit the ground and bounce right back from it, I kind of crunch now 🤣😂

I know how frustrating it is when you see others riding and you seem to struggle with it. And that starts to make you wonder like am I ever going to conquer this because learning to ride a EUC is not that easy it takes some dedication and patience to get it. I just purchased my first wheel last week and I'm just catching on. One of the fears I had to overcome was falling and feeling embarrassed around people staring at me trying to learn so I practiced mainly early in the mornings using the tennis court at my local park and that seem to help me a quite a bit

Then one day after pulling it down a kerb for a while, it shook strongly and the wheel was locked. This happened again next time and it said PLEASE REPAIR.
