Just Me on my EUC!

Went out for a relaxing local ride on my EUC near where I live, it was supposed to be a quick 20 minute ride, but I kept going for an hour...

All recorded on the Insta360 GO2, edited and produced in the Insta360 App.

Ray Ban Meta Glasses Riding an EUC

I got my Ray Ban Meta AI Camera Glasses not just because they look cool and shade me from the sun. One of the main reasons was to create video content that perhaps I can not make as easily or form a similar point of view as wearing the glasses right on your face so you get to see pretty much exactly what I see.

This is all fine and dandy as long as the video looks and sounds good, and I can actually use the video taken while out and about in a variety of situations. So I figured what better way then to test my Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses while riding my Kingsong KS22 EUC and record a bunch of video with me rambling on in the background.

I have to say I am impressed with not only the video quality including the stabilization and the field of view that was recorded but even when riding fast at speeds up to 60kmh, there was virtually zero wind noise and I can tell you what I was hearing a lot of noise while actually riding so I expected to hear this in the recording which I did not. Very impressive!

The Ray Ban Meta Glasses do only record in portrait mode (at least at this time? which is not ideal for landscape YouTube videos so I took the liberty to show various zoom and pan setting for those that may want to show a wider aspect ratio more suitable for YouTube. Another kind of silly limitation with the Ray Ban Meta Glasses is that you can only record 1 minute videos so I did have to splice together the video which worked just fine as Meta let's me know when the camera is recording and when it's not with an indicator light I can see while wearing them and an audible sound when recording stops.

I can honestly say I was surprised at how well the Ray Ban Meta Glasses worked in this situation and plan to make similar riding videos with them in the future.

Custom EUC Fairings & Agro Power Pads for Kingsong S22

As you are probably aware by now I am really into riding my EUC (Electric Unicycle). I was not happy with the factory Power Pads my Kingsong S22 came with so I ordered a pair of V2 Agro Power Pads from e-Rides but as the stock mounting area on the Kingsong S22 is not all that wide (just over 8 inches), I needed more area to mount the new 2 piece Power Pads I bought from e-Rides. You can buy what are called Fairings or Power Pad Plate for the Kingsong S22 for about $50-$60 but you will have to also add on shipping, import fees, and taxes and also wait for your order to arrive...

Or you can do what I did which was buy some ABS 12x12 sheets from Amazon for about $45 and cut them to shape, add Velcro and Bob's your uncle, you now have yourself custom Fairings that give you 12 inches of space to mount your Power Pads to. Keep in mind you will need some tools (clamps and a hacksaw blade) to cut the ABS plates to shape and of course some additional Velcro to attach them to your EUC.

Kingsong S22 EUC CNC Bearing Slider Upgrade - Huge Improvement!

This video kind of relates to fitness, maybe not a lot but for sure to some degree. After all I have been taking out my EUC (Electric Unicycle) a fair amount and ti is surprising how much exercise I get especially if I get on some more windy trails that require a lot more body language. I can really feel my heart rate and breathing go up and work up a sweat.

Anyway in this video I show you the steps to upgrade the Suspension Rails on the Kingsong S22 to a much smoother Bearing Slider rather than the stock Plastic Sliders which over time tend to cause a lot of friction to the suspension.

This installation took me about 1.5 hours tops and made a huge difference in the smoothness of the suspension on the Kingsong S22 EUC. If you have an original Kingsong S22 then I highly suggest you upgrade the sliders the same way I did. You can get the same sliders I installed from eevee's which is a Vancouver based EUC shop.

Get Fit Over 40 - March Update EUC Upgrade

This update is mostly for my Replica Airguns channel as I don't review things going on in my personal life as much over on that channel as I do over on the Get Fit Over 40 channel, but I figure there may be some interest from the Airgun community in something like an EUC (Electric Unicycle) since both Airguns and Electric Vehicles are both really cool :)

One of the main points I wanted to mention was that while I was in the hospital one thing I focussed on as a goal to get to in my recovery was riding my EUC again and for the past couple of weeks I have been back on it! Which means in a way I am achieving my recovery goals and I have to say I feel great and feel like life is getting back to some sort of normal. This is wonderful for my Video Channels as it means I am making videos again just like before!

I also talk about yet another upgrade I made in terms of the EUC I am riding. I started out my EUC adventure with the Begode Tesla T3 which is an awesome learner and city commuter EUC since it is fairly light weight but still has decent power and range. My goal was to get a larger more powerful EUC with longer range capability and so when I saw the Begode EXN on Facebook Marketplace at a price I could not pass on I snatched it up and sold my Tesla T3. The Begode EXN has been a ton of fun and I have learned a lot riding it but I really felt like I needed a suspension EUC Wheel for safety reasons as having suspension really smooths out the ride on all surfaces and makes it less likely for me to get thrown off.

Again another EUC I could not pass on showed up in Facebook Marketplace and now here we are with my third EUC the Kinsong S22 which is pretty much exactly a perfect fit for me as it has good power, decent battery life for good distance ridding and one of the best suspensions you can get on an EUC. Now all I have to do is sell my Begode EUC :)
