I Bought the Fastest 16" Electric Unicycle: InMotion V12

It says 43 mph after you unlock it, but I'm not going to be doing any top speed tests.

@@freshlycharged Thanks for the answer! It was not actually a special speed test, it was just a ride, I use a body camera and record logs with the WheelLog app as usual, but looking at the logs after the ride, I found that a high speed was achieved, so I decided to share. There are very few V12 owners now, only 20 wheels were brought here to Russia. I was very lucky to get mine on July 1st. Great wheel, I like it.

Great review. For the form factor it was either this or the Nik AR+...I went w the NIK for the extra 1000wh of battery. Not disappointed at all...just as you describe, the Nik has crazy torque and nimbleness. That said, I still wanna get my feet on a V12 for a spin; looks legit.

Loving my Nikola+ AR so far as it had everything I wanted in a wheel- nimble, durable, and fast with the battery of the big wheels. However, also intrigued by the v12 and IM’s expansion into 100v. Very exciting as a EUC fan to see evolving products from all the companies!

[@deadbluesky]

The V12 got a lots of features and how far they go about customising the settings is awesome also the IP rating and the quality shell are really great, lets just say Inmotion just got to a new level in upper midrange EUC... but as for the V11 getting inside for replacing parts or the tire this is still a pain in the ass, and the bearing get rusty and make noise and resistance at some point same as the V11 or any hollow motor from Gotway.

Hey Jimmy, great review. I started with the Inmotion V10 as my first wheel and now that im a more experienced rider I crave a little more speed. My question is, the V10 will kick you off if you aggressively lean to far at the start of a ride. I constantly have this happen on take offs…..it’s annoying actually but understand the safety of it. Can I expect the same thing with the V12?

[@MidTownSnipers_VHP]

Nope

[@mikeintampa250]

Congrats Jimmy! Some people have reported experiencing that the V12 feels like it has a minor suspension system even though it doesn't. Did you feel that way too?

[@freshlycharged]

No. It's comfortable on drops but no suspension. Those reporting what you are describing may need to check their tire pressures. ;)

[@FourthWayRanch]

OK, I got 2000 miles on my kingsong 14D and I want to move up but I really like the maneuverability of a 14" wheel. I'm not keen on going over 20 mph at 56 years old even though I 'm a pretty good rider. what should I get, 16" or 18" ?? There's no balancing on these chargers, I'd stick with 2 amps and be patient. I'd like a 14" wheel that goes 25 mph and a 30 mile range to be honest, I can turn on a dime with my 14"

[@mikebikekite1]

Nice video but it did seem a little unfair not to mention you were comparing the V12 against the old model Nikola 84v rather than the new Nikola Plus. Both Nikola models do allow the case to be used as a stand. You mention safety as one of your main criteria but then glossed over how the V12 brakes more slowly than the Nikola- it would be interesting to see how much distance all these wheels take to slow from a given speed. I do prefer the more scratch proof case on the V12 and the adjustable pedals.

I like the INMOTION quality and safety, and like you, I just like cruising around, I’m not interested in extreme speed or range. Anyway, nice vid as always….many thanks!

[@ruskeee]

I have the V11 and really enjoy it. Had the V10 and V8 before it. V12 is more powerful and probably more nimble, but the V11 actually has very good handling once you get used to the floaty ride. It really comes down to whether you want suspension or not. I think for cruising the bigger wheel with suspension is a lot more comfortable. Does good on dirt trails too. Just don't expect insane torque or super steep hill climbing. For that you're better off getting the V12. Also the V11 doesn't have RGB lights or music speakers, if you care about that stuff. Headlight on the V11 is the best there is on any EUC though.

[@mashoongak]

Ok I'm convinced. I'm moving on from my Onewheel. I ordered one, but I'm not getting it until October. :-( I am very interested in what power pad setup you go with as I think my riding style will be similar to yours. The Clark Pads seem popular, but I am concerned that if my feet are locked in too tight I won't be able to get them out when I fall. I hope you do a video on your eventual pad choice.

[@freshlycharged]

Congrats! You can velcro on the power pads and adjust the height to your liking. I don't like to be too locked in, just in case I need to bail. I had some Clark Pads ordered but they got lost in the mail room... Having to order another set.

@Jimmy Chang Hi Jimmy, I have the V12 and I absolutely love the wheel!! I use Clark pads on mine and kept the pedal height at the highest as i love to carve a lot. I usually cruise 35-38 mph with no wobbles at all. The fastest I went on it was 62 Km. (38.5mph) Do you know if there is a way to change it to MPH?? In the app or wheel? Btw ...I also notice the breaking is on the softer side too. It helps to bend your knees more and lean back at the same time.

Do you know a place where I can actually go in and see these? What do you suggest. I am not interested in top speed. I prefer more performance and torque for fast stops, inner city, trail riding. I am willing to throw top dollar as I do not want to but a beginner wheel then have to purchase a better one later. I would rather get the best I can then learn to ride this wheel and not feel buyers remorse.

The only middle of the road wheel for me. I am getting the HT. For low end I like the Mten and MCM5 v2 and v8S and for the high end (size) I like the Abrams (altho thats the one I have not tried, I love the monster and sherman). Safest wheels I ever had was my V10 and V10F. Something about them just feels like they designed the hardware to be more powerful than software allows, but not in the same way as Kingsong where it feels limiting.

[@wildfuture.network]

Hello Jimmy, thanks for you channel ;). Got a question, is the range really as much as 70 Miles and do you know how tiring it would be to ride for that much?

Hi Jimmy, thanks for all the work you put into sharing euc info. I'm also a conservative rider and have not run into a cut-out, yet. May I ask how exactly the v12 cut-out defect will feel like, when performing the stress test? Is it the motor would suddenly halt to a complete stop while still in the 30-degree acceleration mode? FWIW, I tried to perform the same stress test on my current wheel (a different model), but it was indecisive because my different wheel emits some plastic burning smell so I had to stop the test.

Costs almost nothing and is a custom fit to suit the rider. Who needs power pads, when you can have Noodle Bars!
