I bought a used v14 for the reason I felt it would be the best wheel to learn on, and I wouldn't have to upgrade for some time. At 73, more likely, it will be the only wheel I'll own. I used to ride a unicycle, so I was riding around our block in the first 15 minutes.
I loved my V14 while it was operational. Street, off-road, hills, trails, jumps, it did it all and was an absolute blast to ride. Somewhere along the way though the controller tray cracked and a corner sheared off. It being my first wheel and not having a dealer anywhere nearby (and Alien Rides, who I purchased from, went completely radio silent when I asked for help), I chose to try and replace the tray myself. It's still torn apart in my garage as I blindly try (and fail, and re-try) to get it back together. Long story short, be careful with those controller trays, especially if you're not an EUC mechanic and don't have access to one.
Thanks Adam for the Review of the V14 even know your not super excited about doing the reviews as much… we’ve been waiting for this one:) Now get back to those cow bells (or whatever they’re called) your arms are looking good.
i like how you say that this is the first fun inmotion wheel but your first v12 impressions i believe you said it was one of the most fun wheels you have ever ridden
You're right...I was thinking about that too. The only flaw with the V12 was the torque...but yeah that was fun too. Not as much as this one though! Or at least different :)
@@mr_wrongway do you think you'll get a v12 pro? i know you've gotten a lot of non suspension wheels recently but the v12 pro looks like a REALLY refined wheel and it has a different motherboard which i believe has completely eliminated the random cutoffs
Great video! I too have had the V14 for a while now and while my experience owning has been great the biggest niggle (which you addressed) is SOFTWARE - There are only so many ways to make a EUC standout mechanically with hardware, but I think with software, you can do a lot more.. From a better UI app experience, screen display customization, tilting forward back sideways behavior and even button pressing sequences, I believe will separate unicycles in the future. Sure battery capacity, speed, range etc will still be the biggest selling point, but if something is easy to use and diagnose.. *chefs kiss*
I had a supermoto that I put dual sport 17" treaded tires on. My V14 reminds me a lot of that bike. Crazy fun for the city and serviceable off-road but not really optimum anywhere. The V14 is just really fun for urban riding and can absolutely send it off road as long as the trails aren't too rocky and narrow. There are far better products for going fast in a city or fast off-road but the V14 is absolutely fun everywhere. Like a supermoto.
The long awaited review! Awesome job as always Adam ✨👏 Not so long ago I thought about buying one, it's an amazing wheel. However, for my use case, I'll probably rather a Patton-S or maybe even a Nosfet Aero when it comes out. We'll see on that! Cheers mate 🤙🏻
As a very satisfied V12HT user I plan to buy V1450S. It just looks so sick and engineering is just next level compared to other wheels. I will commute 20km to work (and 20 back) so this wheel is everything I can wish for. Great for road and also for light offroad. Proper lights that's also very important thing for commuter. Inmotion will support this wheel for a long time which is necessary if you want to keep the wheel for long and do some proper mileage. Just awesome wheel for the money.
We must be having very different offroad adventures if this isn't your adventure wheel! I mostly ride MTB trails and go up mountains on fire trails. The lower range is obvious if you're riding around at high speed, but I'm still amazed at how efficient it is in high-torque scenarios. I still haven't gone below 50% doing serious off-road before I'm physically spent. I can only think of one time I wished there was more suspension travel (on biggish jumps), but adjusting it a couple of notches fixed that right up. Raising the pedal angle has also been enough to keep me clear of clips. The weight did feel like a lot on tight berms at first, but it's balanced really well. It responds after I learned to trust it. (Edit: just got to your comments on berm mode - they must have fixed that because it's almost too far now, I wish I could set more detailed angles.) I honestly can't see myself upgrading for a very long time. A wheel this fun shouldn't feel this powerful. Mine has been punished, still going strong.
Not only first batch issues. Got mine with 50s, still had motor/full slider assembly/shock replaced, everything under warranty though. Still happy with it, very fun wheel
@@patrickmckowen2999Probably yes. Jumped it a lot, ridden MTB trails, single tracks. Without big jumps suspension should be fine. But motor failed 1 month after I received it, with only some small jumps
Hey mate ! And thanks for your content. Always a pleasure to watch your reviews and the valuable information offered ℹ️ We’re waiting for a first impression about that F22 or a more detailed review. Small off-topic not about this video. Quick question : are you charging your wheels usually to 100% ? (To be more precise the older ones without smart bms) I’ve heard it’s healthy to charge them always to 100% that’ll keep the batteries 🔋 in top shape and always balanced without any cell to be in danger or slowly dying. Hope you’ll reply ! 🎩 Thanks in advance ! 😎
In all fairness, the Extreme copied the Inmotion colours. InMotion chose Orange, Kingsong chose Red. Begode switched from all black to doing Red (EB) and Orange just because... well you know Kebye style.
They are very different wheels. Same weight, but lynx is more stable, durable, waay faster, infinite torque (like literally, it'll spin out the tire before giving up) The display is very good amd option are on the screen available, you also get pads with the lynx depending on where you buy it, amd you have war more tire options which is critical in my opinion. Lynx doing 70kmh at 5% battery while V14 cant even hit 70 at full battery, and stops at 5% for good😂 my personal top speed on lynx is 92kmh. Which is like 90kmh gps Got my lynx 50S (important that it is 50S) last summer for 2900
@lefotografion we don't have the 50s here I think. It's a smaller market here. I don't even see the Patton S, store said there's not much demand yet. They do have the lynx, I don't need the top speed to be honest I ride at 40 kph, maybe 45 max sometimes. But I don't want a wheel that maxes out at 45,i want the head room for extra safety, so that I'm not pushing the wheel as hard. The damn thing is expensive, I know it's good, watched lots of vids and read lots of forums.. And it's heavy. I'm 65lg and this is 40
@@Cons2911 v14 is also 40kg. If you're for some reason really staying below 45kmh, the NOSFET aero seems more practical. Way lighter, still good suspension and design, definitely performance... Also where you at that you don't have access to leaperkim lynx 50S?
@lefotografion south east asia. Most 50s can't be found here it seems. Was aiming for the Patton S but they need a minimum of 3 orders for it to push through. Yeah saw the aero, looks cool but it won't be easy to out pads on. But I do like their approach and I think they use similar hardware as Leaperkim right? Though time will tell how their will hold up. I can probably handle the weight, but lifting it to the trunk of the car would be difficult lol. And I'm not tall either
Thankx for the video.. 2 thumbs up. I know it's a lot of work, but can you OPEN IT UP just to see if everything is where it should be? I got my v14 for over 6 months... thanks for your help with the video of the KS19 I went with the V14. love it. The only downside is its weight... I thought it wouldn't matter that much, but when I'm putting it in my car... it does.😂... cheers from São Paulo/Brasil.
What happened to your right arm? 💪 Good review like always. Riding the begode extreme for almost a year hardcore on single trails and jumpparks. 5000 plus km no problems and still the same tire. First euc ever, but what a tank and ride experience
Thank you for the review! It's not the best sports steering wheel! But it's perfect for pleasure and user experience for middle-level riders - most of whom)) I love this steering wheel for the set of characteristics
Do you think inmotion cap battery discharge at 5% in order that their batteries might live longer? Is it also possible that they do not fully charge to 100% for the same reason giving slightly less range?
Griffin feels like the long wait. Wheels announced after the Griffin released ahead of it. Plus it's a wheel I've been eyeballing so that also makes it feel like a long wait.
Hello Mr. Wrongway. Which Grizzla pads would you suggest for IM V14? All big front and rear? I will mostly use it for concreate and rode to the forests. Why on the video don’t have pivot knobs?
nice! My hands are itching to buy the IM V14 upgrade package with your code soon :) it is nice that the pads are customizable with different colors and sizes including the seat! Deym! 😁
@mr_wrongway, a Button press like @Brugoks said, or moving the wheel enough to make a small current, will prime the driver board out of standby and it will power on quicker.
i got the v11y cuz heard a lot of good things about it. wobbled and fell off on it few weeks ago and ive been afraid to go beyond aruond 15mph now. idk how to unlock this mental block again
Looking buff Adam. After IM boasted that they made the heaviest EUC motor ever produced with the V13 launch I felt their designers were on the wrong track. I wonder what the V14 could have been if it had an Extreme motor.(and seat) Good review but probably too late to be relevant.
v14 went from a wheel I thought I want to have to a wheel I think I don't want to have. Don't get me wrong, it seems like a nice wheel for sure, but if there are better wheels on the road and better wheels offroad then I'd rather chose the other options.
New wheels are coming so fast. It’s hard to choose. And, it’s not stabilized yet. New features are coming. I’m waiting. I have 3 wheels and not in a hurry for a fourth. -I want the monitoring in a HUD. I never look at the display anyway. I wear a smart watch but can’t see much most of the time. -I want light weight performance. Kind of, the power of the Mini Bull and the weight of the S18. -I want easy maintenance and parts availability. Changing a tire in 20 minutes, and body parts delivered in a week. -I want choice of tires and batteries at purchase.
Delivery of parts in a week barley possible from manufacturer, so you have to get it from resellers close by. Leaperkim has 2 pretty good tires as options, great street tire and best Offroad tire which is also acceptable on the street. Light weight performance, begode now has a 168v 2p wheel coming up. Might be under 25kg, still going 70+

So the potting of the cells into the side covers had a detrimental effect on battery life. Good to know. Finn you are well know on EUC social media. IM didn't think it worth while offering you replacement packs under warranty? Disappointing.. In my country everything has a 12 months warranty but also the law says must be fit for purpose. EUC dead in under 2 years would fail that test. But you'd need to go to court which deters most from pushing their rights.
@@AJames-jr8kw Good info mate, I had to ask AI what "poting of he cells" means. I see your point. I dont have Inmotions answer yet but retailer basically says I can buy new cells for a price 2500 USD - Im told the V13 can be purchased for 2000 USD these days (prob a little optimistic, this model is sort of aoutdated I find, Sherman and Begode have musch better powerwheels than V13!) Anyways Inmotion have asked for a video - they want a video of an EUC thats not starting ? Why is that ? Maybe Im talking to a robot? Or maybe I should have my AI freind translate "The batteries are stone dead measured 0 Volts" 电池已死，测量输出电压为0伏特
I bought a used v14 for the reason I felt it would be the best wheel to learn on, and I wouldn't have to upgrade for some time. At 73, more likely, it will be the only wheel I'll own. I used to ride a unicycle, so I was riding around our block in the first 15 minutes.

Great comprehensive review of the V14! I have been enjoying the V14 as my first suspension wheel mostly for commuting (
I opened it, updated it, rode it a lot, calibrated it, and have done nothing else to it. Id say its reliable lol Had it for 8 months.
All those jokes and the banana in the background... priceless! XD

Hmm. What’s the weight with only half cell?
My V14 turns on quickly if I lift the wheel tap the power button once then quickly tap and hold again.
Oh maybe they changed that!
@mr_wrongway, a Button press like @Brugoks said, or moving the wheel enough to make a small current, will prime the driver board out of standby and it will power on quicker.
The reason for the modified GX16-6 is so that you don't accidentally plug the charger on a V13 for example.

If you run the battery down to 0%, you'll ruin it. That's why Inmotion stops the wheel at 5%.
