*Comprehensive* Inmotion V11 EUC 4000km Review, Excellent Beginner Electric Unicycle in 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 ноя 2022
- Hi everyone, is this still a good starter / beginner or upgrade EUC in 2022? I cover this and more in my comprehensive deep dive 4000km review of the Inmotion V11 Electric Unicycle.
correction:
I say 20" wheel but since measured it at 19", 2.5" x 2 tyre depth + 14" rim.
The reason i call it a 20 is because this is the same tyre as used on the sherman which is called a 20"!
plus 80mmx.9x2 / 25.4 + 14" rim =19.7"

Thanks for the detailed review, will really help new riders with their purchasing decision . I have also done 4000km+ on my V11 batch 3 and am still super happy with it. Getting a second charger is my key recommendation to anyone who gets the V11, that way you get on the road in half the time.
Most excellent review sir. I’m enjoying all of your videos.
Great Vid!! Just placed an order for one.
Thank you very much for this such a great detailed review!
Best EUC review! This will b my starter wheel !
Great review! Also, your service log is amazing... holy....
Starting to learn mV11 is complicated... I only have time to train an hour and a half a day when I have time, but little by little I am improving
Hey Marlon, if you're struggling you could run zero pressure in the lower suspension chamber. This lowers the pedals to the bottom. hopefully making it easier to learn without the suspension. Just be sure not to hit rough bumps! I've some tips for learning when my mate learned to ride on the V11 here ruclips.net/video/9zpdoP7xi_4/видео.html
keep it up and enjoy!
This was a very well put together review, i to have put over 3k miles or 5k klm on my V11 without a single issue, and would recommend it as well. p.s. great footage all through especially at the end.
Very good video man. Great editing.
Thank you for a complete review
Jon, I, too, love all of the content providers you showcased, but your video (this video) is among the best I've seen (for me). I'm about to check out your channel. On this video, BRAVO!
Thanks! appreciate that. Yeah the wheels I own definitely can get the deep dives. working on the Lynx comprehensive slowly atm.
beautiful review my dude!
Great review, thanks. And, what great riding area, awesome scenery and great terrain for overlanding.
cheers Tom! yeah I am blessed with a great location here
Thank you! Great video summary. Just bought V11 and have now a bit more understanding about this model. Your comments and advice with positive feelings are really supportive and encouraging.
Great job Jon! Keep it up!
Glad it was helpful! Is it your first wheel? It's going to be awesome
@@jonoeuc will be! Not the first one... had a break for 2 years due to some health problems, now I'm back to riding, but this time with suspension ;)
My recent amateur video is with V11 unboxing :)
Great update 👍
Excellently presented and very, very informative and you have convinced us and we just ordered one and we definitely owe you a beer! Best of luck!
Awesome, thanks for the beer!
I'm sure you'll have a great time on the wheel.
Man, I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm gonna get a v11 because of this review. Concise, fairly objective, and very well thought out. I wanted to potentially get the v13 because of the hype. I'm a new rider, and your point about growing into the wheel and getting an all-rounder type of wheel really makes sense, especially since I won't know what kind of style I prefer until I'm more proficient. I also really appreciate you taking the wheel apart and showing the upkeep of it. It kind of opened my eyes to the fact that this isn't gonna just be some toy I can leave unattended. Thanks for this video.
Happy to help! yeah suspension adds a lot of upkeep to these wheels between all the manufacturers.
Big factor why i chose the Sherman S for my next wheel.
Enjoy the V11 if you get it!
Bravo. This a great all around V11 vid.
Its nice to hear feedback from a rider with close to the same mileage/km Couple of things. I didn't think the squeaking was a thing but squeak as well. I believe its due to pedal(inmotion honeycombs) and hanger wear and it started around 3km. Its coming from that area. I sprayed lithium grease on the pedal shaft and it went a way for a couple of rides.
Another, never had problems with the switch. The wheel needs to be nearly upright. I've ridden through heavy rains and not one issue.
Last, I do a lot of seated riding and I have pads. I comfortably sit and stand as you do. These newer style pads now stick out near three inches from the wheel so all leg movement has to happen within the pads. That's not going work well when you want to sit. My Clarks are thinner so its easy to move over the pad when i want to sit.
Really helpful review
Thanks glad you liked it! The V11y is now the better option based on specs. Also checkout my King Song S19 review, it's a strong V11 competitor. Ta Jono
great experiance. i have the same setup. inmotion v11, Inokim XO super one. good to know that other people exp. good luck with all this
I reckon it's that they're both so sensible and practical! gets the job done :) Although the throttle/LCD on the Ox just broke.
Cheers Jono
Awesome review on the V11. I had my V11 since March 2021 and had no issues as well. I love your velcro rain cover. Very clever!
better open up the electronics cover and check for insulation worn off the wires from the sharp edges
Do you have videos on your channel about unicycles?
Great review
Cheers, the V11y revision is now the updated model in case you hadn't heard.
ruclips.net/user/shorts8F3jnTFAsdo?feature=share
Great review thanks! Waiting for mine to arrive.
Has it arrived? Hope you enjoy it!
I'm still hanging onto it after I got the Sherman S, it's a nice package but I haven't been riding the V11 as much.
@@jonoeuc yes I got my V11 last week and I’m loving it!
I have watched a few times now. Coming from a progression of v10f then MSP and trying to decide my 1st suspension wheel. I was very satisfied with both previous wheels. Cost the V11 and T4 fit my want for budget. Spec wise the T4 better fits my progression less the 16 inch wheel but my riding needs may negate that,,,I think, at 56 my bronco days are past, just light trails now.
Anyway, thanks for such a thoughtful vid.
Cheers
Hey Patrick, glab you found it helpful.
I reckon you're right. The V11 after the MSP will do little to excite. The new Veteran Patton 16" suspension is worth watching although it's heavy.
Ta, Jono
I agree with you 100 percent! It was first wheel. Easy to learn, comfortable, maneuverable and nimble as you make it. Trails??? I haven't been disappointed yet. I can't speak about other wheels Yet,but the Inmotion v11, is built tough too. I Punished it,but aside from cosmetic damage,it hasn't disappointed me. I have it two years and can never badmouth it. I'm just ready for that V13!!!
EUC freedom is exhilarating as f#c& . Even more than motorcycles.
Now I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna get that damnnnn V13.
Starter wheel though...... You won't regret the V11.
I recently taught two friends on the V11, very glad I've kept it after the ShermS.
Love the enthusiasm, good luck with the V13!
V12HT is better in my opinion. With V12 pads you are locked in and the experience is amazing. The power is addictive :).
Hey i'm combo responding to your V13 vs S video comment here too!
well said, I really want to ride some other wheels to get a feel for them. I forgot to mention in my v11 review that I nearly got a V12HS. The chooch hype was convincing. Lucky I went to a learn to ride day, tried a v8f, KS16x and ks18L. The smaller wheels felt very familiar and comparable to a manual unicycle. good for throwing around and nimble. I rejected that! wanted a new experience and something more solid for cruising, which as you put aptly begin to behave more like a motorcycle (due to the large gyroscopic stability). the v12hs weren't being sold at the time due to waiting for new improved v12ht mainboards to prevent cutouts.
Cheers! jono
Is v12 can give comfort to rough roads. In my country the roads are not that smooth. Struggling which to pick v11 or v12.
@@talkingpig3322 Easy choice, you need a suspension wheel for rough roads. If it's really bad you may need a wheel with better suspension than the V11. Maybe the S22.
Yes v11 is my pick. Just like you, Ive done research in yt. They are sale now in my country and price diff is not that high. Im thinking if i will go crazy learning on suspension wheels as my 1st euc. Or ill just go v12 but ignoring if its just a little less comfortable in riding these roads.
Hi Jon. Awesome review bud. I was wondering where you got the braces at the bottom of your wheel? I'm constantly scraping mine going up and down curbs on an angle and want extra protection. Cheers in advance. Van
hey Vance, cheers!

Literally am in the same situation of how you got an EUC. I'm from melbourne and have a one wheel, really wanna get an EUC. Looking at the v11 but waiting for black friday sales.
It's a great progression and I still enjoy the Pint (most dangerous PEV lol)
I've a tip for you if you're ok with second hand.
The E-Riderz shop and EUC meca is Brisbane. Several V11s recently sold for $1,500
So set your zone for Brisbane to get results from there. Make sure it's a trusted seller by vetting in the community and maybe contact E-Riderz to verify the wheel was purchased from them originally.
ps if you order from e-riderz code 'jono' for a discount :)
Hope that helps, enjoy!
jono
Hey nice review. Love my v11. Where can I find that rain bag cover please?
Hi Anass, it was packaging from some gear I bought. It is a heavier plastic than normal.
best bet is to craft your own!
Thanks for the thorough review. New EUC rider here. Also on V11. What specifically did you do to eliminate downhill braking death wobbles?
Hi Caliman, i'll try to explain (need another video for it!).
The style is similar with or without pads. Essentially you want to add direction and input into the wheel by slightly carving. Watch back 13:21 and see the slight carving. This will feel far more significant while riding than it appears on the video. It's a really awesome feeling, with pads, once you get the hang of it.
Firstly do you have rear power pads? This helps determine the style required. Because I have pads I want to get my calves back into them while braking. This is why I don't squat here, instead bending more at the hips. Squatting is for harder braking and not suitable in this more relaxed downhill braking clip. squatting in a downhill section actually moves my calves further from the pads which I don't want.
It is possible to simply lean back standing straight, to apply pressure into the pads with my calves, still using a slight carve is best practice. Try both and use what suits you best!
let me know how you get along.
cheers jono
Hey man! Love the content. Ive owned a V11 for a little over a year. put about 1k miles on it and loved every bit of it. The only problem i have had is with my seat... I have looked all over and havent found a guide on a solid mounting solution for the seat. What would you recommend I do to keep it secure?
thanks jacob!
Check out 19:28 in the video for my attachment solution.
If you're grabbing the front for braking then definitely run zipties through the seat under the trolley handle!
Same here my first wheel as well jus got use to the top speed way too quickly and range. Down size for me was range and top speed as well wheel size a little too small my optimal wheel size is 20inches. Also tat its 84v 100v would have been great. Also the one wheel i love how they have battery and motor temperature AMAZING. but the v13 has tat now
A 2023 V11F remake could be AMAZING! there are whispers of this happening. Lets see if they can bump the specs without losing the soul of the V11.
Great review. Do you have a video or instructions on how you made the rain cover? I'm in the States (Washington State) where it rains a LOT. I've been watching videos and was torn between the V11 or V12 since they're only a couple hundred dollar difference. After this video, I'm going with the V11. Thanks. Liked and subscribed
Cheers, enjoy the new wheel!
The rain cover is a heavy plastic that some of my gear came in. I taped the holes and added the piece of velcro at the front for easy attachment.
A decent option i've seen from others is a backpack rain cover. They have built in elastic which looks handy.
Hope that helps, ta jono
@@jonoeuc thanks!
I'm also contemplating removing my front pads but I'll replace them with a knob just to clamp the feet. I think even with top tier studded foot plates it's kind of dangerous without something to clamp down. About the V11 I tried it a few times but hated it. It feels so limp and underpowered and pogosticky. I just don't see it. I have yet to try the V13 but the only Inmotion wheel I can stomach is the V12HT.
Maintaining pressure (the process itself) in those shocks is a pain in the ass, so true. Yet, did it only twice over 7 months. And the pump included is an awful trash.
Bought mine yesterday with 3500km on it learned how to fully ride it in 24 hrs worth every penny I spent on it just need to fix a couple things as the hub is bent and I may have messed up the rear braking light.
good stuff
One failed adventure on an OG Pint (not even an X!) Because you didnt pay attention to how big(small) your battery was or how far the trip was, so you went out and dropped 2k+ on a euc.... Logic pans out.😂
Hi, Awesome review, I just ordered my first v11, can you guide me on getting the protective gears fro my v11 as i am still a learner?
Hey mate, great! hope you enjoy it :)
If you need wheel protection, many riders use baby foam around the edges and lights: i.imgur.com/uYzLbXs.png

Make sure you put enough air in the tire for you wont bent your rim because rims are out of stock an inmotion dont want to sell them to anyone ewhells allen rides etc
I had my for a month an now its just collecting dust but the tire and Tube are easy to find
@@breezyazzedits3570 I just got mine delivered
There is no instruction on how to fill it those!
Is there a "Kelley blue book" for used wheels?
They should make the seat higher. Make the seat that we can bring it up and push back when we don't need it.
That's a cool idea. My current seat adds 130mm to the Lynx. It squishes down a lot tbf.
Hi Jon, since the new QLD Personal Mobility Device laws started this month, have you had any problems with them / do they change your mind on EUCs at all? I was looking at getting an EUC for small commutes / last mile solution but does having a hard 25km/h cap kind of wreck that in your opinion?
Hi, this is such an inflammatory topic in the community atm I'm reticent to comment.
I'll say that no it hasn't detracted from eucs for me.
It has made me ride my escooter less.
I'm regional, if i was in brisbane the experience may be quite different.
the revised laws shouldn't matter at all for last mile solutions. I say this because the eucs (or onewheel) suited for this use case are going to be the smaller slower models such as the v8f.
wear a helmet and there is little reason you'll be hassled.
Have your been to a learn to ride euc day?!
@@jonoeuc yeah I went on Saturday and had a good time I'm currently looking at probably a refurbished ks 16x or an in motion v10f
Can you link the Nylo Nova pedals that you put on your V11? Thanks for your time.
They're really worth it on the V11. Especially upgrading from the grip tape pedals.

Strictly speaking, if you could already ride a normal unicycle, then you're well ahead of the curve. Most beginners drop their wheels constantly while learning. The V11 is a great wheel with great lights but it's also quite a fragile wheel, moderately expensive and with high foot plates. Wouldn't a 2nd hand wheel, like a V10F or KS16S, be way better for someone taking up the sport?
Hey Mike, I have taught two mates on the V11. The first one I emptied the suspension which drastically lowers the pedals. They were riding in 10-15minutes. Rode 50km that day including seated riding. (they had manual unicycle experience.)
The other didn't have unicycle experience nor did I lower the pedals. He was riding around in about 15minutes. slower progression but was soon doing longer laps around.
If you are not athletic, accident prone or a smaller person / child then sure a smaller wheel like you suggested is wise.
Cheers, jono
The V12HT would be my top choice but i can't get a reliable sense that a random cutoff won't happen. They still seem to be an issue. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Inmotion is pro-active about fixing problems. Speak to your dealer and get assurances that the issues have been fixed - new mainboards / firmware etc.
Since Adam's cutouts I haven't heard much but praise for the V12HT. Have a scroll through the owners group for issues: facebook.com/groups/inmotionv12/
I'd say you can't guarantee EUCs against this sort of thing. Gear up and go for it!
Cheers, Jono
V11 ! How to charge with 2 chargers ? Some things to be aware of when charging dubbel ??
You'll have to buy an additional Inmotion charger. simply plug in both at the same time.
Some will say that fast charging will reduce the battery life. But the V11 chargers are such a low current already I don't think it will matter.
Hope that helps!
What lights do you use and how happy are you with the beam? Another question of anti-wobbling techniques.
Hey Alex, the lights are Ravemen CR1000. They are excellent. A cutoff beam is the decent thing to do and it also reduces wasted vertical light and concentrates it where needed. I get just over an hour on the highest setting but they can be micro usb powered from a powerbank. The helmet / gopro mount is a separate purchase.
Checkout my reply to Caliman99 re wobbling.
ta, jono
www.ravemen.com/CR/CR1000.html
@@jonoeuc thanks, Jon.
I have the very same approach with two additional lights, but these are old and not not "bike" specific, so they do not help a lot due to the beam form they have, so now i'm struggling to find a proper one.
Problem with luminous headlights is that you are not supposed to cause accidents to passers by by dazzling them into the ditch.
what do you mean by luminous headlights?
It's something i've been struggling with since the escooter. Because we can get f$ %ek by small pot holes and what not we need to see better than a vehicle. That can then dazzle others.
My solution so far is to use the lights with a cutoff beam so that they can be aimed down and avoid others eyes.
I'm right at one year with my V11 and I have over 4000 miles on it and can say it's been excellent for the most part. I've had an issue though about the last 4-5 months with the balancing angle where it keeps moving either a few degrees forward or backwards and it makes the ride very uncomfortable. In other words it's not staying 0 degrees level as it should and it's random as to whether it leans forward a bit or backwards. I've done a hard reset many times and it does nothing. For this to be happening within the first 7 months of owning it is unacceptable to me.
damn that is an annoying problem to have. can anyone have a look and diagnose the issue for you? let us know what fixes it if you find out!
Would a persons hoverboard skill translate over to EUC riding skill as well?
Like i can ride the hoverboarf like a pro inside my home barefooted though. Like i can turn easily and even ride backwards.
Im hoping this EUC will come just as naturally to me like the hoverboard.
Hi mate, unfortunately I don't think so. However it sounds like you maybe naturally coordinated which will help you learn quickly. The automatic forward and back balancing may slightly help with EUCs since it'll feel familiar.
Ta, Jono
@@jonoeuc do you propelle by leaning?
Cause the hoverboards you merelt have to push down with your feet. But stopping looks like they work the same by leaning back
One helpful thing I have seen in other videos when they are seated is that they splay their legs out to the seat to get away from the front pads...I am saying this because you said you had to take your front pads off....but in another video some say front pads are necessary to keep you from shooting if if you hit a bump. Have you tried riding that way?
Hey Adam, yeah I've adopted that method now. Since the Sherman S *needs* front pads. It's not as seamless or fluid but very use to it now and sit/stand is pretty smooth.
It's a safety feature for sure. Particularly with the V11 pogo suspension. I did come close to crashing from that. Feet bounced forwards on the pedals while offroading.
cheers
@@jonoeuc Much appreciated!!! These things just look so fun!!!
Can you buy a second hand V11 anywhere in Australia? I can only find the V11 for $3500 on Sydney. Are they worth the cost 🤔. My family is giving me grief about the price. Telling me to find a second hand one first before spending that much money.
Hey Kiren, That's too much for a V11. They're dated now but an excellent learner wheel. I sold mine in Brisbane for $1,500.
I suggest posting a wanted ad on E-Riderz Australia facebook page.
If you can swing it the King Song S19 is my new recommendation instead of the V11 particularly if you're buying new.
The King Song 18xl is a decent option without suspension if you're interested? I know of at least one going up when he replaces it with the Lynx.
Hope you find a wheel soon and good luck!
Cheers Jono
How reliable are these when buying them used? Do they need battery replacements after covering a certain distance?
Hey mate, luck of the draw but you can weed out bad eggs a few ways. Ask the seller for screenshots of the fully charged voltage and battery check. A small reduction of say 0.5V over time is normal. Larger than that can indicate an issue such as a dead cell within the pack.
eg for an Inmotion here is an image you should ask for: I'm currently selling my V11 and this is one of my images.
imgur.com/a/Ghq7uDy
There have been reports in the fb group of V11s going for 25,000km.
The packs are the most expensive part to replace. $900aud from memory (E-riderz).
@@jonoeuc extremely helpful! Thank you!!
I just got our second v11 for couple rides. We are both lighter riders and I have a few hundred miles experience. The v11 when setup the way I like is incredibly responsive and fast. So it was disappointing when our second wheel came in with friction in the suspension regardless of pressure, a slightly twisted frame, a kickstand hinge which digs into the wheel, a motor that vibrates when at a stand still, and what I can only guess is a mosfet issue because the wheel wanted to roll itself backward anytime it was upright and not in motion on a flat surface. How can all of this escape quality control? I'm giving them one more chance, but this is disappointing from a brand I considered high quality.
I have so many questions!
Was it second hand or from a dealer? eriderz do QC in store before handing it over to the customer.
Are those issues covered under warranty?
In what way are you giving inmotion another chance, buying another v11,V12 or v13?
if my experience with the v11 matched yours I'd be triggered.
ta jono
High quality doesn't exist yet with euc's. It's still a matter of luck. It will be many years before it will be matured enough.
What is the alarm that you have in the back?
This one attached with double sided tape.

Hey David, they are:
Daytime I use this for others to see me

Night Time front
www.99bikes.com.au/ravemen-cr1000-front-light
I've picked this one because it has a T-Shaped Cutoff Lens to avoid blinding // dazzling on-comers like so many other lights.
Can run it with a battery pack since on max it lasts about an hour. My only complaint is that it uses USB-A and not C. The helmet mount has to be bought separately too.

What are those 4 "antenas" on your helmet?
oh haha i bet it seems odd. This was filmed during "Swooping Season" here in Queensland Australia. Which means the birds dive bomb most people riding something and even some pedestrians!
The antenna are zip ties that prevent the birds from striking the helmet/head 😅
I knew I should have bought the v11 ... Sadly I bought the S22, they totally screwed the suspension using t slots as slides!!! WTF 😒 I was betting they were only making a larger s18, I fucked myself believing in kingsong...
maybe you can still make the roller mod?
@@jimmykiang4420 I still have to PAY the get the damn motor replaced...
damn sorry to hear that. Really? KS is making you pay for the motor, that sucks. Then you have to install it yourself right? The s22 has some love from what i've seen, decent suspension while still being a light-ish wheel. I briefly considered it instead of the V13 or sherman s. The issues you've pointed out eliminated itself from the equation plus the 2200Wh battery seems a bit low for what I want.
Hope you get it fixed soon.
Imagine getting blasted into the past and rolling up on some ppl at night with alll those LED lights lol
alien invasion!
or if we're going way back, burned for witchcraft!
How did you eliminate downhill wobbles?
Hi, the quick tips:
riding and braking:
Don't be afraid, tenses you up into poor form.
Slightly carve, gives input to the wheel.
Transitioning to braking:
Danger period. Move quickly to proper braking technique. Dont linger inbetween accelerating and braking form.
braking:
Practise squatting behind the wheel, arms out front.
Lean into power pads if you have them.
Generally avoid straight leg lean back braking particularly down hill.
Practise somewhere you're having these issues with these techniques in mind. At speeds that are reasonable ofc!
Once you start getting the hang of it you can deliberately bring on wobbles just to practise getting out of them.
let me know if that helps.
Cheers jono

Tôi đang có kế hoạch sớm từ Mỹ đến thăm Việt Nam và đang băn khoăn liệu việc đi xe đạp điện một bánh có được cả chính quyền và người dân địa phương chấp nhận hay không. Những con đường mòn ở California rất đẹp nhưng tôi hình dung vùng quê của bạn cũng đẹp không kém. Bất kỳ thông tin nào về việc sử dụng EUC và chó cưng trên xe buýt hoặc phương tiện giao thông công cộng cũng là một điều gây tò mò. Tôi có thể nói với bạn rằng việc đi lại ở Hoa Kỳ và Mexico rất khó khăn nếu không có ô tô và tôi mong muốn không có ô tô ở Đông Nam Á.
Tôi ngưỡng mộ cách xử lý đại dịch của chính phủ các bạn và Việt Nam là quốc gia duy nhất trên thế giới duy trì tốc độ tăng trưởng dương trong suốt 15 năm kinh tế bất ổn vừa qua.

after a year and 4000 miles my battery range is about half of what it was when new.
better open up the electronics cover and make sure the sharp edge isn't wearing the insulation off the wires, also check where the cable goes to the motor, the insulation gets worn off in that channel too. I discovered all this when I did a tire change last month
ouch that's a huge hit to the range. Is it worth getting new battery packs?
Ah yeah good tips
@@jonoeuc same issue with anything electric, bicycles, scooters, whatever, it's all just 18650s.
@@jonoeuc update...my V11 bearings went after 11 months, it was still on warranty so for some reason they just sent me a new one? wow, I thought, good deal. After 5 months I changed the tire and the main board failed. The app said the motor was bad, change it but I tested the motor with anohter controller and it works fine. That would have been almost $500 for nothing. Then inmotion said I should try buying expensive circuit boards and see if changing them worked. Because a year had elapsed they said my warranty was expired. So...basically, I got a brand new wheel that died after 5 months. I'm not spending all that money playing inmotion EUC mechanic in the hopes of finding the problem, it's absolutely ridiculous that inmotion wants people to do that. That's the end of my inmotion V11 experience, laid out a couple grand for a device that stopped working after a year and a half, I"m a good rider and never crash so there's been no damage to it. Now I have to sell it for parts on ebay.
inmotion st ole my money as far as I'm concerned, should get a lot more than a year and a half out of a two thousand dollar device.
I was going to get a second EUC, I got a vet patton instead of inmotion product.
really contemplating the v11. V13 and sherman s are just out of my price range. Just v11 seems too slow.
I've both v11 and ShermS atm if you have any questions.
this your first euc?
what is on your back and why?
Hey Jack, that is the Boblbee 25L backpack which doubles as a hardshell impact rated spine protector. The cargo net is an extra. Can recommend!
Are you afraid to ride it on water?, I know that this model has very weak bearings, and they start making a lot of noise after 500 kilometers🤔
No water is fine. A few versions ago the bearing covers were introduced. After I tore the wheel down I saw that they were well greased and had protected against water ingress.
I'm now at 5,600km and the bearings are quiet and roll smoothly.
CANNOT be overstated... Your GEAR should cost the same or MORE than your WHEEL!
Even if you source everything used🤑, up-cycled🤔 or close to free🤗, the retail cost of gear should exceed the retail cost of the EUC... IMHO... My knee braces were >$800 new and my partner's helmet was >$650 new, luckily there's Craigslist and I actually spent less than 10 cents on the dollar for the highest quality I can find.}
WattsSingleTrack has a great video on what I consider to be the minimum gear requirements for 20-35mph riding speeds. ruclips.net/video/TINcTUOQnrE/видео.html
Your doing this review for "new riders" and mention "Tilt Back", but never explain what is is ? ? ?
Hey uuzd4,
apologies, good point!
Self balancing wheels cannot keep accelerating since they eventually run out of sufficient power. (why most EUCS are so powerful vs other electric rideables)
Tilt Back is a safety feature which notifies the rider they are at the upper limits of the wheel. It does this by noticeably changing the angle of the EUC, lifting the toes and lowering the heels. This is very obvious when riding and naturally encourages you to shift your weight back and slow down.
Only certain brands offer this, Inmotion EUCs do! it's always on for the upper wheel limits. It can also be set lower in the phone app by Inmotion. Possibly by EUCWorld and Darknessbot (untested)
Hope that helps, cheers

It's not all America. Not everyone lives in villas. There are plenty of stairs to climb in other countries. because elevators can be broken. For these people, over 16 19 lbs is not good for our health.
Hi Emin,
I agree, no one should be lifting heavy pevs up stairs. One good thing about EUCs is that, worst comes to worst, they can be pushed up the steps one at a time while powered on.
Flip flops really??? Ffs
great video. just learned to ride the euc on v11 - from your video i see that Chinese euc are like Chinese cars and other Chinese products . they start to deteriorate after few months . we would never agree to such fast deterioration and falling apart from a car we bought or tv or any other product. 16:58 wheel squeaking and play front back . too many stories about board die and cut off because water issues . this would never happen in western high end brand but unfortunately there is no western euc. what o learned from this video is that io need to keep the euc as recreational weekends vehicle and not to use it among cars . too dangerous especially when the unit starts aging . you have only 4 months experience and so many issues . you need to open and put grease and do this and do that - and battery might die . what will be the situation after 3 years ? 5 years ? or should we replace euc annually for 3200$ ?
thanks, yeah definitely an emerging technology mainly for enthusiasts at this point.
there are v11 posts of 40,000km distance. with a little luck they can run for a long time.
Being made in China doesn't necessitate poor quality. It's more what QC is demanded in the manufacturing process.
I had a Airwheel x3 from 2013. It got it second hand. I bet it has seen a lot of abuse by the previous owner. I used it to learn and it has bounced on concrete quite a few times before it died.
Then I got another X3. 2 months daily driving in a forest. Sand, mud, rain etc. It's still working.
Now I have a inmotion v8f. Got it used with 500 km. It's now at 620 km. Only driven it in forest. Mud, sand, wet leaves etc.
But yes you never know if you have a wheel from a bad batch..
@@jonoeuc manufactured in china not the problem . QC in China also not the problem . being developed in china - thats the problem . the finish product is different so you have batch 1 and batch 2 and there are differences and you need to start worry if your batch is first or second or fifth . this is same with chinese cars. western manufacturers make cars in china and they are as good as manufactured anywhere else . but when the design is in China - that's not a good thing. China knows how to produce - they don't know how to design a product. Can you show me a good screwdriver made in China from Chinese brand ? putting into the equation safety and such dangerous environment i wouldn't go with EUC even near cars . I think this is the only product that all the biggest youtube bloggers have their own "crash story" where they either got hurt seriously or luckily survived .what kind of vehicle is this where 100% crash ? . There is not a single youtuber that doesn't have a serious crash video. I will never go above 20 MPH with this . Sorry . it's like a ticking bomb.
@@robertbarel896 I somewhat agree with your points but the QC/Design balance issues are far more complicated than we can imagine from a consumer's perspective. Organic growth requires patience and enthusiasts will eventually prevail and nurture a stable product line.
Jon's point about gear needing to cost more than your wheel is 100% on target; don't ride at any speed/conditions unless you're willing fall, crash or slide without being comfortable with the thought of injury/protection under the worst case scenario, PERIOD.
Owning any EUC should be like owning a loaded AR-15 weapon, one should be able not only to handle the use but also be able to strip down, maintain, repair and reassemble the equipment without hesitation; this goes for all EUC models. {I'm not a gun owner but appreciate the discipline.}
Wheel quality should improve faster than new riders can learn, so the KS16x and Inmotion V12HT are great options. the V11 was a valiant first attempt at suspension and is loved by most owners, and the V13 and Sherman-S have great potential.
My perspective is that no one should buy a new model (EVER) unless they're willing to cope with the worst case scenarios or until that model has proven efficacy or that it is sufficiently repairable. The KS-22 will make and awesome used wheel for those willing to upgrade almost every component in the system, and this should have been anticipated by anyone considering its early adoption. I expect to get an used S22(ver.1) in about 1.5-2 years when the community has thoroughly vetted its maximum potential. The V11 has gone through this vetting and is a great wheel as long as you're willing to be as intimate with its maintenance/repair as Jon has demonstrated in this video. Marty's video's demonstrate a patient and methodical approach to EUC stewardship and the rewards are reaped continuously. Kevin (EUC Upgrades channel) is also a wealth of knowledge/experience.
The hype is also not generally the fault of YTers, rather it's an artifact of market forces that are beyond our control but it is hard not to get sucked in as a new enthusiast. I own 5 wheels, all well used and abused, so I have yet to regret buying a lemon; my 16x is tried and true and preeminently rebuildable, which I anticipate having to do several times over its/my life.
