Man, I just can't get enough of your contents, since I started watching EUC videos you, Koji, WrongWay, evX and Marty have me glued to my computer, and as a first-timer, I think the V11 is the most all-rounder EUC it has on the market with the VS in second, as always GREAT review.

@@TedPeterson You're looking at it the wrong way. The base speed of the unicycle is 31 mph. However, when the battery is totally charged, you get a 4 mph boost for the first 20% of the battery charge. Inmotion could have easily capped the speed at 31 mph, but they took the extra effort to add this feature.
While unboxing mine yesterday, I was taken aback by the evident build and material quality and other things you mentioned which inspired me to get out for a ride today!
Hi Sean, all I could say about this video is Wow! You gave so many reasons why this wheel is going to be great, summarized into one word: refined. Your knack for uniquely explaining things in a down-to-earth manner is on full display in this video.
No they shouldn’t. If the gov gets involved we’re gonna have to register, insure, and probly have to get some sort of a license. Also if the gov gets into it they’ll probly ban us from roads and last but not least will probly regulate heavily on the speed of eucs maybe cutting it down to 20mph or sth. All I know is I like to commmute literally everywhere on my nik+ and I know the gov would slash my speed in half Best to stay under the radar as long as possible imo but who knows
It's December 6th 2020, the V11 is a POS, so many vids where the thing is falling apart, too many quality of life issues, it's not worth the 2 thousand dollar price tag. If it were 899.00 it might be worth it, but at 2k, get a Sherman or an RS.
I don’t think any wheels are problem free, sherman has the melted wire and RS has bearing issue, its more important to be aware and make sure you stay on top of protecting the wheel against potential problems I think.
@@OWGAC My point was that the price for EUCs' are super inflated. EUC manufacturers are enjoying selling the vehicles at near china retail price to distributors, by the time it's sold in the US, the price inflated by orders of magnitude. The V11 as is, should be valued at 600-800 bucks. The aluminium frames are not even temp treated like they should be, they crack so easily on impact. (You for one should know this first hand).
Be patient and it’s worth the wait! The down side to inMotion’s willingness to fix issues and address comments are that its taking longer to ship their wheels. But IMHO its better to wait an extra month and get a better product that you spend your hard earned money on!
Hi im a new subscriber and i am new to this kind of fun, i am thinking about getting one but i need to research which is the right one for me. Which model and make of the unicycles would you recommend for the longest distances / longest lasting battery life and longest lasting life in general? Its good to have a bit of speed with it all but not so bothered about the speed much?? Keep up the good working liking the videos and the info you provide 👍
I don’t really know about shipping schedule. Buuut its worth the wait, the high pedal does make learning a bit tougher and you’ll prob need more time holding onto a wall while you ride. Just take it slow and stay safe!!
@@OWGAC will do and thanks. Since I have nothing to compare it to (but my Onewheel) I figure I won't miss lower pedals. Can't miss what you've never had. Thanks for the videos
best to pad the hell out of the wheel, especially under the pedal and front where the headlight sitcks out. Unless your superpower is incredible learning/balancing, you're gonna fall and ding your wheel more time than you care to mention. Good luck and welcome to the EUC crack! lol
Great review! Is this wheel compact enough to take in to NYC restaurants and park it next to my chair or under the table? I’m looking for a pev that I can easily keep the battery inside away from the cold temperatures while eating out.
Can you recommend another wrist guard ? The Gyroriderz is not coming up looks to be European websites. I ordered the exact helmet your wearing in the video, put in my deposit for the V11 last night anticipation is killing me !
Dont know if the pedal height is higher on the V11 than the V10... It has advantages but one big disadvantage or at least I find it a disadvantage and that's stopping and starting in traffic or at junctions.. I hate having to step back on the pedal you have to lift your foot so high.. 😒.. It can be disorientating!.. Maybe its because ime so tall? 🤔..
The V11 pedal is higher than any other wheel I am aware of, 9” off the ground with me on it. I do think that you’ll acclimate with more ride time but yeah its weird in the beginning.
I guess it depends on your riding style and conditions, here in NYC where roads are bad its definitely helpful. the only reason you haven't seen too many guys convert here is that suspension wheels are still too slow (even the EX had a lower tope speed)
@@OWGAC I can see that. I live in Utah with a ton of mountains and mountain biking single track. I’m RU-vid taught and have never even met another EUC rider so my ideas and theories are in a bubble. NY looks like a great place to ride and I can see how you’d want speed over suspension. I want suspension and enough but not to much speed. Randomly I still think that 9bot hits it out of the park and I wish they’d develop it more. I’m half tempted to sell my V 10 and buy one.
You can add pads and I think inMotion is actually working on them, but its the toe pads (one right above your foot) for jumping that’s prob going to be tough to add.
Mr Hsiang, I bought this helmet after your review/recommendation. Now the sun is out in London I thoroughly enjoy the air flow and hearing the surrounding traffic is more noticeable over my Ruroc. Thanks👍🏾
I've had 3 months on the V11. I'm 120kgs what wheel do you think I should upgrade to. I want suspension T4 or KS 22 or another. I commute and forest ride. Ideas?
Love the videos. I am thinking about the V11 as a first EUC. Would you recommend it for a beginner? If no, what would you suggest. I am a OW owner today looking to switch things up. Thanx
My standard recommendation is to start with a lower power used wheel that you don't mind beat up, but I have certainly also heard of people that went all in and start on a V11, just make sure you pad it up well so you don't damage the wheel when you inadvertently drop it during the learning process.
MauiPolice awesome that’s a great starting wheel! Light and maneuverable, get a roll of neoprene and pad the heck out of it so you won’t have to worry about dropping it!
Hey Hsiang, I've been riding for about 5 months in the city where I go to college on my brothers KS 16x, recently he decided to take it back and I've been looking into wheels to buy. I use it for groceries, food and joy riding and the V11 looks like the way to go as it seems really solid and safety is higher with the suspension. Im turning into a speed junkie though and the V11 doesnt really fit the speed increase i want, but does seem to fit all the other ease of use parts. I'm wondering if you think there's any other wheel I should look at before purchasing a V11 or if its my best bet as i'm still pretty new to the sport.
I would steer clear of Gotway for now given all of their recent problems. So it's down to either the v11 or the sherman for you. Do you want performance or comfort and convinience? The v11 will feel like a premium upgrade but will not feel any faster
Great review Hsiang! I just spent the day also riding with one (mountains of Taipei City - you know). If you put some powerpads on it, the wheel goes even higher level of control and performance! (used the KS pads)
Another superb video that simply increases the next wheel dilemma that faces us all from time to time! I'm looking forward to the full performance review of course, but I expect my eventual choice will come down to irrational loyalty to the brand, and the attention to detail that Inmotion are well known for. Stupid, but that damn kickstand on the V11 could well swing it for me over the S18! Such a shame that Ninebot are not in the EUC game anymore... I'm sure they'd make a killer suspension wheel!
It seems like such a simple thing, a kick stand, but I use it all the time and it seems like such an obvious thing EUC needs! Honestly from a build quality perspective, side by side with the s18 (someone got a production model) the V11 wins and you won’t be disappointed.
Hi Hsiang! Thank you for all your content! I love it! What is the difference between ordering from myinmotion.com and ewheels.com when I used your link it went to ewheels where I pre-ordered the v11 however when I went to myinmotion it seems like shipping dates are 1 month earlier for us residents. Are they getting the wheels from the same source? Thanks!!
I believe myinmotion is the same as EUCO whom use to only sell inmotion wheels. I know Ewheel is pretty good about updating their pre-order ship dates but I am less sure about EUCO. If you want it the fastest its better to ask and see how well (and quickly) the vendor respond.
Thanks for the info. I've recently stumbled onto your videos after seeing E wheels out in NYC. I've pretty much decided on investing in my first, I'm definitely going with the V11
Just be mindful that the high pedal height does make it slightly harder to learn on. But I think its totally worth the slightly steeper learning curve!
я смотрел обзоры на эту модель у одного русского блогера, он забирался на этом колесе в горку, ездил по лесу, спустя пол часа у него сгорел контроллер, были ли у вас подобные проблемы?
The official website has it on sale for $1799 now. Want to buy it, but never rid a unicycle before, does it take long time to practice and get used to?
@ColdBoi I learned at my own pace. Took Friday and monday off from work. So Friday till Monday, I practiced every morning. If you don't want to scratch or break your EUC, learn on a smooth grass plane. I learned on hsrd surface. Balancing on my dominant leg and riding is something I want to learn. If I can do that, everything is very easy. Riding is easy. But putting my other foot on the pedal takes a bit time. Repeat repeat repeat. Think of a place you want to go and go with your Tesla. Make sure you got the right shoes or insoles. Your feet will thank you. And buy pads to stick on the Tesla. The Teska will hit your legs/ankles lots of times.
Keep practicing, the more experience you have the better, the additional height on the pedal throw people off a bit, but you should be able to acclimate very quickly if you have solid euc riding experience.
Hey man I onewheel a lot in NYC and want to get into EUC's, do you think I would be able to start out with a V11, do you think it is a good wheel to grow into a bit? Do you have any recommendations?
If you can, its always better to get a use wheel and learn on it. But I find that most ppl just want to get a nice new wheel they can be excited about to start so.. you can always pad the heck out of a wheel to protected it. Cover it with neoprene would do and I think inmotion is working on a wheel cover also!
Hsiang yeah I agree I could always bubble wrap it lol. I’m looking to get a first wheel and just want something with distance more than speed and everything else.
I just got my S18. Unboxing, unlocking, and setting it up was frustrating... but now, its a great wheel for under 30 mph. I still have my MSX 100V for faster situations. I didn't know the V11 could do 35 mph till your vid... had I known that I might have selected it. Still I do appreciate the 4" travel in the S18 over the 3" travel of the V11...I also appreciate its lighter weight for easy grab and go via car. Its much narrower and lighter than the MSX making it much easier to lift and stow in the back-seat-floor area.
Hsiang. I am having a problem with my new V 11. When I accelerate the wheel says “please repair“. Have you heard of this? In motion is being very slow responding to me. My vendor has offered to replace the wheel with an S 18. What is your experience with Inmotion?
fantastic review! Did you watch Chooch s18 vs V11 off-road video? He put some CHOOCH PAD on the V11 and it blazed over the S18! He loves it more then the s18. Which is ironic, since he said he didn't understand or liked the V11 when it was first announced. haha
I'm very curious about the helmet. That's a slalom helmet (to protect against slalom poles or also snow if crashing). How effective is it if you were to face plant on asphalt? Will the chin guard hold up or will it snap off too easily? I love its concept but if it's not rated for the street, a full face might be the better option. Let me know. Thanks, and great review. I already have a deposit on one thanks to JC. BTW, good job wearing a mask. It sets a good example. More of us should do this.
Great review! If the V11 had slightly more range, I would buy it. Hsiang, the helmet you're wearing is a slalom helmet, and the chin bar is only meant for protecting you from getting the poles in your face. It won't protect you in a crash.
thank you! I have it set to none breakaway so its a bit stiffer, its better than my half lid but not as restrictive as my full face so it works for my riding style.
I maybe anti American in my attitude but the desire for more speed in my electric mobility devices was never a driving force. For me it's convenience, comfort, and yes the added mobility I gain by going electric. I'll get there when I get there and comfortably so. So in this device the suspension and handling are key factors.
Hi Hsiang, I bought this wheel and i fucking love it. But i only got to charge it to 20% before the charger died. Got a new one 4 days later. Free warranty provided. Awesome! charged it up 80% in excitement to get back out and ride. Rode it to around 50% battery until it died coming to a stop. Wouldnt turn back on, Wheels semi locked, everyone in FB is saying MOSFETS. This vehicle doesnt even look damaged, has scratches from me practicing and dropping on its side a couple times (power pads on each side so less damage than you think rather than the bottom of the vehicle (sides suspension) gets scratched first. When plugged in no indicators its charging from the vehicle. No sounds, no lights. no battery indicator. Only indicator is the charger charging something (green to red light on charger), but will it stop charging? Is it charging at its specifications? Scary! No access too bluetooth via in motion app for diagnostics either. Its like it simply just doesnt exist. Overall, awesome wheel drove great scraped sadly, i weigh 135pounds, i cant go as fast as this vehicle can go. Sitting was easy, transition was easy. Ive never ridden a unicycle before although i am pretty good at learning things i desire. (maybe autistic on some level) Took me 45 minutes to ride across the grass be able to turn and fumble here. after 1 hour i rode to town and thats where i really learned. Spent about 3-4 hours riding around sitting/standing. And learning how to get more comfortable. IT WAS AMAZING. Such an amazing feeling is produced from these wheels. Lots of questions, lots of happy faces. Awe! The smile it brings to my face as well as others is its own feeling. But riding these wheels are amazing. Can not wait for future productions, eventually itll have 4 axis stabilization. its gotta!
I will add, facebook is saying this is an active problem at this time. Leaning towards the got way exn stating people having less issues, but is 700$ more. Good luck yall
Do you know if its ok to walk the V11 into a store? I’m choosing between mten3 and V11 as first wheel. However the only thing holding me back from V11 is ability to take your EUC into store in NY.
Saying newbies would like it can be seen as a little dismissive. From what you’ve described, sounds like a perfect wheel for anyone! You admit you aren’t speed obsessed, what makes it not a perfect wheel for you? Your beloved Gotway is made out of tissue paper and styrofoam 😂
The V11 is meant to be a Jack of all trades, and as a result hard core enthusiast whom have more specific needs (speed, range, off-road) will likely lean towards other wheels. But for someone whom just started and wants a high quality wheel and be able to just ride, its perfect.
Ordered, but my return to work has been delayed further so I’m in no rush for it to arrive. I like watching your shots of NYC, and the reactions to your wheel :)
I don’t usually ride with music and I guess that is the one thing v11 don’t have, a Bluetooth speaker build in.. and no as soon as you plug in it shuts off and go into a charging mode.
I don't know how it is where you are, but no one here follow the speed limits, people do 45 when there are no traffic all the time and NYPD rarely enforce speed limits.
Nope, unfortunately that’s the one thing the v11 don’t have, neither does s18 but I generally don’t ride with music and the ppl that do seems to carry Bluetooth speakers anyway. So not a huge deal I think.
You are getting a lot for the dollars but EUC in general are on the expensive side given their often larger battery capacity. My understanding is that the cost of battery is one of the larger component costs and affect the final cost of the wheel.
Great Review! After observing the S18 vs V11, i'm pleased 2 go with the V11. My opinion the V11 is a bit more of an aggressive safe casual combo experience where the S18 is a bit more of a subtle combo common casual enjoyable experience for the ladies, beginners & the average persons for a really great enjoyable EU experience. The V11 has 2 adjustable shocks where the S18 only has 1. EU'ng in mountain terranes where Veterans burn up, Inmotion has taken it 2 the next level! & i'm waiting 2 c if Ninebot Z10 will rise 2 the challenge with a 3000+ watt motor or better because a 2500+ watt motor with shocks or better they may need 2 stay in the game..
I liked the lights and the speakers on the 16x. At this point as a rider, I see how unnecessary these features are. However, the at-a-glance battery level indicator on the 16x is something I didn't know I liked so much until I switched to the MSP
Hsiang oh man! I’ve been wanting to find some other EUCers who would give jousting on their wheel a try. Maybe with some foam lances. Seems like it’d be fun.
