Inmotion V11: This Electric Unicycle is Insane

With incredible power and responsive handling, the V11 is difficult to learn, but crazy fun when you do. Just try not to die in the process. But I would hesitate to recommend it to beginners. The suspension is superb and means you can take some fairly hefty obstacles fine, but it's going to take a long time to get to that point, and until then, you're having a harder time of it by riding relatively high off the ground. If you're a complete beginner like I am, I would suggest something with slightly less suspension that you will sit closer to the ground on, lowering your center of gravity. With a retail price of upwards of $2000, the InMotion v11 isn't a cheap entry point into EUCs. But it's a good one, and if you're confident that this is a hobby or personal transport suitable for you, then I can certainly recommend the v11 as a powerful, solid, and reliable EUC.

They take some getting used to, but eventually you grow a cybernetic extension and become one with the wheel! It’s truly an incredible feeling of freedom.

The last 2 minutes has the most important message - do not give up learning it! Give it a hundred or two kilometers, and it will be as any shoes - just a personal magic carpet. You can eat a burger staring at the phone while riding with zero effort without even thinking about what's goin on down there at the ground.

As someone who grew up in the time of the worst comic strip in history, I can't see one of these and not think of B.C. and Peter rolling around town on their stone wheels. Your short review and 'learning' clips brought me more smiles than every "B.C." strip combined.
Proud of you for staying with it! I got a unicycle for xmas once as a kid. It went into the reservoir after about a week of busting my ass and I told my parents it was stolen, lol.
GR, AA.

The v11 was my first EUC. This was a great review, especially how you described learning. I too was very close to just giving up, it seemed way too difficult. Then one day something clicks, and now the best part of my day is commuting to work with my EUC. Something to add about the pedal height is since it's higher, you can lean more during turns without the worry of clipping the floor, although it does make it difficult when you're first learning.

Thank you for the great review!
Since you asked, I would love to see you review more new EUCs as they will be coming, just as you more recently did review newer Inmotion V12HT.
Thanks. Keep up the great work!

Great review. Once you get more familiar with the V11, you'll appreciate the higher pedal height as it will allow you to make sharper turns without scraping the pedal. It's also a great looking wheel.

When you chopped the ebike up with hedge trimmer it made me like the video ❤

[wherespierre]

Thank you, I took your recommendation!

[jaysons]

Still a good EUC after 2 years. It's my first and only EUC and I still ride it. If it could go up to 40 MPH, I would be satisfied with it

Interesting device that i haven't try even when I like Mountain biking and outdoors a lot, i have seen many people using similar monocycles but i never had good balance, now i know it's just a matter of keep trying.

Great video! I totally agree the V11 is not a beginner wheel. You should learn on a smaller and less expensive wheel without suspension like the V5 or V8 if we stick to the Inmotion models.

[MikaelLevoniemi]

Another thing to consider while comparing it to ebikes and escooters is that EUC only needs 500 to 1000W to drive forward, but another 2000W to keep it safely upright in all circumstances. This alone is problematic with local e-ride laws because wattage is often directly mentioned in them without any consideration to how it's actually utilized or required.

Welcome the world of EUC. Life will never be the same! The V11 is truly a nice looking wheel. With some serious stats and capability. It has aged well as the EUC world is rapidly changing. Take the current headliner the Master Pro for example. 22 inch wheel with 4800wh battery and 4500w motor! weighs about 125lbs!

Respectfully, speed wobble can definitely send you sliding on your hands/knees on pavement, especially as a new rider. Please wear gear. Without my elbow guards, knee/shin guards, and wrist guards I would have suffered broken a wrist or arm just a few days ago on my much less-powerful InMotion v5. I'm glad you didn't experience this during your learning and testing.

[Laenthal]

The button works with gloves just fine and despite how it looks is also waterproof. Just have to push it bit more firmly i guess. I turn the light on and off without stopping - it won't turn the whole EUC off while riding so it's safe to do.

Learn how to ride a unicycle. It took me a couple months because I was 7 years old. I still have the last Schiwinn from 1988, however the first one before that I trashed the seat learning.

[TheParentalRevolution]

Great sound quality! I see those trees rustling in the background. How did you capture your voice so well?

Also, solid review. I love my V11. I ride it literally every day. Over 3k miles put on. Great product. Not a beginner wheel.

V11 ! How to charge with 2 chargers ? Some things to be aware of when charging dubbel ??

[fearceigknighter]

Kingsong s18 is my first EUC. The V11 is my second, bought used from a guy nearby that didn't like it cause it doesn't go fast enough for him, i got it for a good deal with a seat, power pads and a fast charger as well as some other items. I gotta say, the V11 feels more smooth and does need less leaning forward to get going. I'm really looking forward to using it more for long rides cause of the longer range and it doesn't actually feel that much heavier than my Kingsong s18 even though the difference is almost 20 lbs or about 9 kg. Happy to own both wheels.

Excellent review Sir, the information is comprehensive 👌
