Best 15 kg Electric Transport? INMOTION V8S Review

[@landocycle]

Can’t wait for EUC manufacturer’s to start innovating in this size range again. I want a mini V12!

[@ChrisH0Y]

I’ve been waiting patiently for this review! The InMotion V8s is my first wheel, and even though I now have 3 other wheels (these guys have a way of multiplying quickly!) I still ride mine on a daily basis. Pound for pound this wheel has amazing range and just enough speed to get around at commuter bicycle speeds. I still ride my V8s because because this wheel is so nimble, it keeps my balance true, and my senses sharp. I do have a few long hills on my commute, and so far, no overheat problems in the Pacific Northwest. I can squeak 32 miles out of a charge with conservative riding (165-170lb rider). The only thing I would change is the pedals, and switch the stock pedals with some Nylo Noves (if you can actually get the darn things) I’ll likely keep my V8s for life (after a few battery pack replacements I’m sure!) I'll be sure to keep it wheel! ◉

[@popeyepanther4519]

Hi! Im around 200lbs weight, would it suit me too as a beginner?

[@ChrisH0Y]

@@popeyepanther4519 I'm sure the V8s would make a great starter wheel for anyone - due its light weight, it can take drops better and sustain less damage than heavier wheels (see 7:09). This is why I chose the V8s as my learner wheel AFTER I got my InMotion v12. Adam suggests max weight of the rider to be 100kg (220 lbs) see 7:30 - so, I would think you should be fine. I would keep in mind that the heavier weight the wheel has to carry, the more easier you should be on it (easy acceleration, don't drop off curbs or stress the axle, take it slow on hills, and lower your speed) There has been times after a grocery trip with a loaded pack, or near the end of a extra long ride, that I got off the wheel, popped up the trolley handle, and walked up steep hills. The V8s usually comes with a protective crash jacket, I would use it in learning and after. Your wheel will thank you. My V8s has a EUC Bodyguard, with a red stripe. It really does the trick, and looks cool.

[@johnsonvalentine7429]

@@popeyepanther4519 how much is it

[@ChrisH0Y]

Update: Just got the Nylo Nove pedals for my V8s today! Finally, the perfect little ride. The Nylo Nove pedals compliments this wheel so well, because they are light, strong, and with the cleated honeycomb pattern, works well in wet commutes without clogging full of dirt.

[@PeterLarsenJr]

Mine is on the way to me this week. I am so excited. Your review really helped me a lot, thanks.

[@Nemonurwingy]

I got mine for cheap back in August as my first wheel ($500+ cheaper than a 16xs). It’s been a great experience, and I’m sure I’ll be upgrading soon. I’m much bigger than your recommendation (100 kg) and it’s been fine, it’s plenty zippy. I’ve loved how easy it is to live with. Riding to the commuter rail to go downtown or to stores around my suburban house is easy-peasy. It’s small, I throw it in a cart if I’m grocery shopping or trolley around if I’m just picking up a few things. I’ll continue to use it for those purposes even after I get something faster for more fun. This thing is still plenty fun, but I can easily put it wherever I want one handed which would be much harder with something 70+ pounds.

Cool! I did only 1500 km in a year on my V8F.

[@philbertartan]

How do you keep battery health very well?

[@quand8051]

You should get a v8s for more range

[@laurv8370]

Very good review Sir! Riding a V8F as my second (third?) wheel and I really love it. I bought it for my wife, as she is a small person and the larger wheels would be too heavy for her, but I ended up using it myself more than I use the other (bigger) wheels I have. I love to ride it a bit in the evening when I come from work and I am too tired to wrestle with a larger bear. I already put over 500 km into it. The only difference compared with V8S is the smaller battery size/range, for the V8F I get only close to 30 km riding near to max speed (80+ kg person). But that make V8F even lighter and easier to handle, and if you occasionally need range, then you use a bigger wheel. I would like to mention that it is quite easy to add a BT adapter to it, you can buy a receiver for two bucks on aliexpress, the quality is not great, but for a wheel you don't need Hi-Fi. Also, one peculiarity with it is the fact that the screws on one side of the wheel will open/unscrew while riding (CAUTION!), and they need periodical tightening, while the screws on the other side are always tighten to max and you can't move them a micron (there are 12 screws on each side holding the motor lids, there was no loctite or thread lock on them, and I didn't add any, yet, but this phenomenon does happen, I don't know why, maybe some gyroscopic or coriolis effect due to wheel rotation, screws on one side tend to rotate left, and unscrew, while on the other side they tend to rotate right and tighten themselves - this is real, not a joke, you need to add thread lock, or tighten them every 100-200km or so - edit: this is easy to do by lifting the small lid under the foot plates, you don't need to take the wheel apart).

[@laurv8370]

re: heating, riding the V8F in very hot Thailand, hilly/mountain roads, paved only, no off-road, 80kg+ rider, never had any overheating issue (sorry for replying to myself :D)

[@RobUKTH]

Hi Adam, really enjoyed the review of the update to the classic V8! Keep up the great work! 👍😎🙏

[@mr_wrongway]

Thank you sir always appreciate it when you drop by into the comment section Rob ☺️

[@Androvalius]

Honestly I've been commuting on the V5F since February (my first wheel) in Paris, and it's very nice... but the top 25Kmh and max ~20Km range are _barely_ enough to, say, visit a friend who's at the other side of the city. And most streets in Paris are limited to 30Kmh for cars, so if you're in a streets without bycicles tracks, you're slower than the cars, which I experienced to be dangerous even if it's not by a big margin. So I wanted to upgrade just a bit and the the V8S seemed to be the perfect answer while watching your video! Pretty much the same wheel but with just the upgrade of top speed and range I needed, a better trolley, and all the same features I'm used to and like a lot on the V5F! But then I looked at the price, and saw around ~1.5k Euros to get one in France too. As your pointed out, for the same price I could get a KingSong 16X which boasts, at least on paper, legit twice the speed and range upgrades (and allegedly better weight tolerance, which is nice since I'm 96Kg and often wears a heavy backpack). I got my V5F for 550 Euros, the difference in prices with the V8S compared to the gain in performances just feels ridiculous, so I feel a bit lost... =/

[@Anakena3]

just like you!

[@rcgldr]

I think there is passive battery balancing. At 4:17 into the video, looking at the BMS board on the battery pack you see 19 pads labeled B1 to B19, plus B- and B+ for a total of 21 wires, that would be used to independently sense all 20 voltages from the 20 pairs of cells in the 20S2P pack.This would allow for passive balancing logic that would have 20 voltage triggered switches that enable (relatively grounded) resistors to hold fully charged cell pairs at a fixed voltage while the other cell pairs continue to charge, until all cell pairs were fully charged, and all 20 switches triggered. My V8F has always had a max charged voltage of 83.6 volts, which would translate into the balancing switches limiting voltage to 4.18 volts per cell pair for a total of 83.6 volts. On the V8F BMS board, those 19 pads are labeled TB1 to TB19, while B- and B+ remain the same.

[@slick1908]

Ofcourse there is balancing. Every Inmotion wheel does have balancing

[@rcgldr]

@@slick1908 - V5F BMS doesn't have any resistors that could be used for balancing so no balancing is confirmed for V5F. V8F has 1K ohm resistors and if there is passive cell balancing (full charge), the resistance is too high and related current too low (4.2 mA max) to provide enough time for any significant balancing before a cell pair reaches overvoltage and the V8F shuts off charging. It's possible that the V8F balances during a very long (8+ hour) and slow discharge from 84 volts down to 82.5 volts, if left connected to a charger. Once down to 82.5 volts, it reenables charging and starts another 8+ hour cycle. So far no one has been able to confirm if the V8F balances during that long discharge cycle.

[@bensacheri]

The original Inmotion V8 EUC is the biggest selling wheel of all time internationally. The V8S adds more range and bigger pedals. I have a V8F and upgraded to a V11. I recently pulled out the V8F to visit some community garage sales. It was such a great choice. It's easy to maneuver in tight spaces even when using the trolley handle to shop and it's light enough to carry without straining. I often put it behind my driver's seat when i'm taking my kids to appointments and ride it while I wait. You may outgrow this wheel as you progress but you won't want to get rid of it.

[@PhilipChou]

HI Adam, Fantastic review, especially for folks who are new to EUCs (like myself). Learned about battery balancing. I think this format will serve you well in the future.

[@mr_wrongway]

[@igork163]

The trick you did in 2:56 was my first ever trick I learnt on my wheel 😁

[@juancastaner2576]

Just got this a few days ago. Trying to learn while finding the time and space to try it. I have been able to practice in kitchen.

[@blackmamba6938]

This wheel is the best. I got a used V8F with only 200km on it for $700 CAD. I love how light-weight it is. It's easy to throw in the trunk. I have a KS-18XL, but I find it too heavy for short rides. Oh I should mention that my handle is getting stuck now for some reason. So I put a sponge in the way so it can't go down all the way. I'm not sure why it's getting stuck, but it sucks using it when I don't have a handle and I'm indoors.

[@fdota]

I am looking to get into EUC. This looks perfect for me. Something I can ride leisurely around the city from time to time, something I can do short commutes with and stow in the office, something I can keep in my car trunk for auxiliary transport.

i heard you should avoid large bumps and curves with the Inmotion V8S because the shaft can snap. reviewer on amazon wrote, "The issue is with the axle that attaches the wheel to the rest of the EUC. these are not made to take hard impacts like bumps and curbs, and will snap the axle."

[@trevorkenny]

Been thinking about getting an EUC and this is one of the ones I have my eye on for sure.

[@rcgldr]

Acceleration test peak values - 32.46 amps (fuse is 30 amps, but since it's a blade fuse, it's spec'ed to run at 33 amps a minimum of 100 hours). 2441 watt peak. Battery pack only sagged about 7 volts, from about 82 volts to 75 volts. How did you get a PWM percentage (peak was 71%)? I'm thinking the V8F doesn't provide this, but maybe the V8S does? Current is higher than battery current and may be motor current instead?

[@BegodeEx30]

A question; I stand at 5'7 & weight fluctuate between 190 & 195, for now (I'm working on losing about 25 more pounds). Anyway, question is what Brand/ model of these unicycle would you recommend? I'm a 51 year old vet whose been a workaholic for years, I'm trying to get back to enjoying being out & about to relax outside. I bought a ebike & love it (its on a flat now) but think a unicycle will be even more relaxing but I have no idea which one to buy. I don't want to start with a beginners because it's a waste of money (I did that with the ebike & within 2 or 3 days I wished I had bought a more powerful one for greater range & ended up paying a few hundred more to modify it from 350w to 1000w which unfortunately drain the factory battery quicker so now I have to spend more money to upgrade that). So I'm looking for unicycle kinda in the middle, not a cheap beginner one that'll I be trying to upgrade within a week or 2 but certainly not one of those $3000+ ones (I don't have that kind of leisure money laying around just to be trying something I may or may not like).

[@joaoengler1917]

Hi Euc People, I have a question for your guys! I have the v11 and now the v8s, I agree with the video and really don’t like the flat pedals on the v8s. What’s the best option to fix this, would changing the pedals to like the v11 hexagonal pedals do anything? Is there an option to just add a piece of metal to make the pedal angle change. I think the most expensive option might be the Nylonove angled pedals but not even sure if they make an angled pedal for the v8. So what do you guys think or recommend?

[@h3Xh3Xh3X]

I used v10 pedals on my v8 and it worked well

[@Confedyank]

As this being my first one, it's great for learning on, & I needed the weight class for getting on local trains. That being said, I'm in a very hot region, & it did overheat before even summer came around. And being over the size this is really designed for, it created a paranoia for getting another. I am interested in fixing/replacing it for trains, but for like RVing & other stuffs, I'm going to need one way bigger & powerful for getting around for short rides.

[@heymelon]

I think it's very disputed the fact that three is no passive balancing here. Seem some one source and some lost in translation stuff from a Russian shop is the origin of it? It probably had untraditional looking balancing and I'm guessing the older IM has as well. Or how are they the wheels with least reported fires and the like but very high buy rates. Seems unbalanced cells would been more of an issue there

[@oldretireddude]

Thanks for the review. I wish reviewers would separate off the original V8 in discussions. It is not the same wheel as the F & S versions. The V8F and the V8S are not a V8 with bigger batteries. I've had my V8F since may 2020 and 400+mi, all urban roads no intentional abuse. It has been perfect as an occasional run-to-the-store PEV. I'm a 270lb rider using 45psi. Tail light is a big deal, I'm not interested in a better headlight. It let's me be seen, I'll carry my own light, at night, if needed. I do wish the tire was wider.

Interesting, i find V8F handle much worse than V11 (I have both wheels and i prefer trolleying around the V11). I just love that V11 trolley handle is in the middle, so the wheel is better balanced because of that, so trolleying is effortless, but V8F i have to keep its balance. Also, V11 handle fits helmets so perfectly, it almost doesn't increase the size of the wheel and the helmet just sits there on the headlight and doesn't move, and you can remove it and fold the handle after starting to ride!

NL the same. I put it in my car and go to a forest.

[@danew637]

Just bought one in 2024 for $600

[@konardkonrado7755]

what is range on this one?

[@MADpack]

This wheel will have easily a 20miles range since the v8f is around 17 miles

[@konardkonrado7755]

@@MADpack ANy knwledge which wheel has best comfort with most range ? i am looking for long range cruiser with suspension and it would be great to have 50 kp/h speed . Greetings Konrad

[@konardkonrado7755]

@JM Coulon i saw begote master review with suspension and tester said its anoher dimension when it comes to cruising but after that he tried e20s and said its even beter for cruising so it seems it becomes common knowledge that e20s its best at the moment for that kind of customer;p i dont need power an climb 30 degrees hills i just need steady cruise speed with comfort on looong trips

[@Pinko-Diamond]

Ordered @ $450 off Amazon prime sale. Just for riding around the city.

LED and music....such dumb thing sorry to say that...side leds aren't even visible if you put there some pads...it has only 1 practical function, put them on constant red and use it like that at night rides....thats it...music? Why? I personally hate when others arent respect my private space and starts some music next to me especially if I dont like the genre...Overall I think its a nice cruising wheel, I think after an Airwheel X8 I will buy a V8.

[@capitoneo]

It's such a shame that Inmotion don't fix the small issues with this wheel. The pedals, both front and tail lights, the speaker pointing backwards, absence of USB port... Ah, this could be the perfect commuter with such a small effort from the manufacturer.

[@razorsharp9850]

There are helmets with lights and EarPods.

[@capitoneo]

​@@razorsharp9850 so what? The problem with speaker is that people in front don't hear me. EUCs are way too quiet. Beside that, I use BlueTooth speaker that holds on my neck to get range/speed/battery updates. I can wear it with any helmet.

[@razorsharp9850]

@@capitoneo you’re right. I misunderstood, speaker pointed backwards is not logical. What don’t you like about the pedals? The V8S pedals are better than the V8 normal ones right?

[@capitoneo]

@@razorsharp9850 Yes, but those are still have same issues with slightly longer lifespan. AFAIK V13 have proper pedals out of the box.

[@capitoneo]

@@razorsharp9850 Adam pointed out issues with current pedals on V8F/S in the video.

Still waiting for a high torque 16 inch wheel you can ride up and down stairs

let's begin with safety (while riding on a small narrow and high path 😂)

V8s v mcm5

[@UnidudeNine]

You're so spoiled Adam. You should review some mainstream hoverboards and let us know how you like the torque. 🤣

[@Blox117]

hoverboards are not really more than toys

[@mr_wrongway]

Hahaha Maybe for April fools

[@UnidudeNine]

@@mr_wrongway That would be so fitting for this channel as I'm sure most of us started with a hoverboard as our first self balancing device! 😆 Maybe you can answer the age old question why aren't hoverboards faster? And I haven't seen a true EUC to hoverboard mod yet. Someone with matching EUCs can do it.

[@vid8442]

That's an absolutely rubbish wheel. Mcm5 is cheaper and far better.

[@linotaffoni2820]

Are you sure ? 😂😂

[@scottyB5950]

My first real unicycle!(first one was a cheap plastic one as a kid kzbin.infoUgkx4e2fa6x27dF7shCelntq0ZIKt4N0jELI I never learned to ride)So, this is a true learner, and for a C note, exactly what was needed. After a few weeks, I'm able to easily ride up and down the street. The Good: Solid frame. Has absorbed numerous spills through learning and still solid. Look - great looks, after 6 weeks of bashing Weight - it's really all tire, but as I fall I can easily grab the seat so it doesn't slam the ground. Size - Very adjustable. I'm 6', 33" inseam. I put it mostly up, but could go a bit higher if I needed to. The Bad: Not sure if it's out of the norm, but seat got scraped up quickly. Pedals - they are a bit uncomfortable and I can't get the right feel on my feet. But, they are solid and haven't been damaged at all as I've seen in reviews on other cycle's.- To address one comment about the seat connection not straight. Huh? Seat is on a round pole, you just turn it and it's straight. Either of the bad I expected to replace once I improved. I'd recommend to anyone else in the learning phase.
