I CRASHED my InMotion V11!!

Lesson for me: If someone with this much experience crashed this badly, gear is a MUST. Gear may be expensive but not nearly as much as my $7000 medical insurance deductible.

Never gear up for the ride, gear up for the slide...

I’m happy you are completely in good health and didn’t loose a limb. Another classic video Bro, be safe and stay gear up

Ask the shops at that street if they have a camera video footage that shows the crush. At least you are fine and nobody else got hurt from the wheel, that’s what matters!

Great vid! We are waiting to receive our V11 and S18 and excited to start learning to ride. This vid is helpful to prepare for possible issues.

I believe you suffered from “rider float”. It’s almost the same theory as valve float in an engine. The sudden drop the rider and the euc encountered at different rate or the rider suffers from a delayed descend. Obviously, there was a point where there was a separation from the rider and machine which force the rider to float. which means the euc descended first before the rider did. At that high rate of speed , the euc may have landed and compressed at the inner manhole ring which may have cause the bottom half of the euc to slow down while the top half may have rotated forward changing the angle of the peddles. The rider’s center of mass is now behind his feet. In that position, he now lands or crashes into the euc misaligned , with most of his feet landing on some of the peddles, and then rolling / sliding.

That was an amazing amount of damage. And the tire! Oh well. So this was your personal wheel? I thought maybe it was a review wheel. And please let us know why it won't turn on. Good luck.

Glad you're okay. You're a trooper for making this very informative video. I think that tire played the biggest part in your accident. The way it was punctured almost looked like a blowout, but that would have made a big popping sound. Still, in all the videos I have seen of EUC crashes, I have never seen a tire that looked like that afterward. In fact, most of the time it is the tire that remains intact and undamaged more so than the shell and other components of the EUC. Anyway, stay safe, keep riding, and keep the videos coming. :)

Scenario you didn't mention: failure of one of the two air shock chambers. A sudden pressure loss could have caused the behavior you encountered and loss of footing. Since both chambers were damaged in the crash it's possible the crash damaged covered up this failure. Do the shocks both still hold pressure with the damage shown? If they do that rules out my theory, but if not this may be worth considering. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad experiences with these amazing devices.

Glad ur okay brother, and still riding! keep up the quality content

You keep saying you wasted 10 or 15 minutes of my life, but most of the time you've provided info that will save lots of time/cash.. absolutely not wasting time, IMHO -- thanks Hsiang!

Glad you are safe. Interesting analysis.

Oh wow.. I'm really sorry this happened to you bro and I hope you are able to rebuild it relatively easy. I will have mine by next Friday and I'm super excited to experience what you have already confirmed as being a fantastic ride on a well made wheel. I see I'd better not drop it though.... LOL

Great to see all your limbs intact! And no official involvement! Luckeee

Great video as usual @Hsiang and glad your OK! I still want the V11!!!

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the tips

Great video, and excellent story Hsiang. I think I’ll ride the z10 tomorrow....love that wheel.

Hmm very interesting ..I shall definitely start wearing more Tofu .. I knew it was good for something .

I would say the the tire rip is probably associated with the wheel spinning up at some point during the crash and snagging something on the truck.

Damn, not a good week for the V11. First Marty's V11 overheated on it's way to overheat hill and wouldn't turn on and now Hsiang's V11 somehow crashed and turned into a hundred pieces after just one crash.
