Inmotion V14 50S First Ride

This is the first time riding my new Inmotion V14 (50S Version) electric unicycle. The 86lb weight was challenging to get used to after coming from my 44lb Gotway MCM5 v2 wheel. Mounting was especially difficult, but with enough practice it started to feel much easier. Started in my apartment parking lot and then took a drive out to Alameda, CA where there is an old airbase that has been re-zoned for public use. This is where the Bay Area Intro2Speed events are held. I think I only reach around 25 mph (40 kph) on this first ride but still had a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!

I'm probably going to buy the V14 as my first EUC. It's really cool to watch you progress in this video. Even though you do have experience I can at least have an idea what I'm in for. All the other videos I've watched are people hitting jumps at 20+ Mph so I never thought about wobbles or the fact that I have to learn.

[@Kev-In-Motion]

@@KyleKick909 thanks for your comment! That was my intent, to show that we all start somewhere, but can progress with enough practice. It’s a great wheel, just be patient with yourself as you learn. Happy riding!

I bought v14 orange one 3 weeks ago. Ive had 3 motorcyclyes a quad and skateboard many years. It takes time to just get up and going. Go to a park and ride from one tree to another. Thats what ive been doing. Finally getting it

[@jamesm217]

It's all about repetition, before you know it everything will be second nature. You're doing a great job

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Thanks James, it’s definitely feeling more comfortable about 50 miles in, but still a ways to go!

[@jamesm217]

@@Kev-In-Motion give it around the 200 mile mark and it'll be a world of difference.

[@megaobi]

that is a nice upgrade! :) take your time learn your wheel and enjoy! ride safe!

[@matthewearl9824]

I own a ton of wheels and the mcm5v2 is an amazing wheel. I still ride it to this day...along with my Lynx..contrary to what people may think, larger wheels are easier to ride.

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Agreed the MCM5 is a great wheel!

[@WingsnWheels-ur4bv]

Coming from the lighter weight V11 & V12, I was having a hard time getting up on the V14 when I first got it. What helped me was adding +2 degrees of tilt to the pedals. I don't think the pedal height was the issue for me. I never had any trouble getting up on the V11. And it's pedals are pretty much the same height as the V14's.

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t messed around with pedal angle yet so I’ll try that out.

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

really great video! the v14 looks like a beast

[@EUCme]

When lifting the V14 into the car, grab the pedals, not the handles. It's far easier.😊

[@NightMurMurr]

Nice spot. Congr with dream euc. My law stop use over 36kg euc out off roadway and i try ks s16 pro, i like it) wanna try v14 too. Greetings from Russia, have a good season and nice trips!)

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Thank you! Sorry to hear about the 36kg euc cut off. I think the S16 is still a solid wheel, just a little harder too work on.

[@alexanderrezvoi7050]

Yesterday switched from my s18 to v14. It definitely will take some time for me to adapt, but not bad as I thought. Didn't have any problems with mounting tho. It's just the weight difference that I can feel. Got a very small crash, because of stupidity... slipped on wet sports field 😂

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Ya the weight definitely takes some getting used to, gotta build up those leg muscles.

[@scottp8147]

I'm going through the same thing as you on my v13 , I'm coming from a gotway monster 22-in no suspension so the height in the weight is the only thing you need to practice just like you

[@Kev-In-Motion]

V13 is a beast of a wheel so I can imagine how much tougher that is to get the hang of. I’m definitely feeling a lot more comfortable on the v14 now with about 50 miles under my belt. Good luck!

[@Vince4343]

Doing good!! 👍👍👍

[@RayCrosmy]

この乗り物で怪我をしやすいのは足首と肩です。正しい防具を選択して装着して下さい。できればネックブレースも装着しましょう。 この乗り物は腕を振らずに体幹でバランスを取るのが正解です。腕を振る動きをしないほうが早く上達できます。

[@del132]

Have you dialed in your settings yet? I didn't mess with mine for the first couple of days while getting the feel of the wheel so the learning curve was a bit shaky. After dialing in though (75% on both braking and acceleration, and I think three clicks softer on the suspension) everything just felt so much more natural. Congrats on the stellar upgrade!

[@Kev-In-Motion]

I have played around with most of the settings except for pedal angle and things are feeling much better now. Thanks!

[@GingerOnWheels]

Nice!

[@mikethewheelchairguy]

Nice video! Appreciate your willingness to share your gradual progression and impressions. Im considering this wheel myself, but nervous how much wider it is than the V11. Any chance you could share the width of the wheel from battery to battery? Ive emailed inmotion for the width, that was like 5 weeks ago and still nothing.

[@Kev-In-Motion]

@@mikethewheelchairguy I just measured somewhere between 8.25 and 8.5 inches (210mm to 216mm) from side plate to side plate. I don’t think the width has been a problem for me at all. Mostly just the weight is the harder thing to get used to

[@mikethewheelchairguy]

@@Kev-In-Motion thank you for doing that. I really appreciate your help.

[@cynthiaricee6602]

did your V14 comes with a pad-kit, etc???

[@Kev-In-Motion]

@@cynthiaricee6602 Yes! When you purchase from eWheels it does come with stock pads. I would assume most vendors ship the V14 with stock pads but not 100% sure.

[@martinsaunders2942]

Enjoyed..Thanks!. But what a place! It’s a huge area…what was it?…an old Flying boat / Seaplane base?

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Glad you liked the video! I believe this area was an old naval air base. Definitely a great spot for riding!

[@dahshuga2515]

Where can I get this thing?

[@Kev-In-Motion]

@@dahshuga2515 many vendors out there but I recommend erides.com for the great service

[@TAbhai0088]

👍👍

[@patrickmckowen2999]

[@wilsonmeredith5517]

Whats the size of the wheel?

[@Kev-In-Motion]

The V14 has a 12” rim and is considered a ‘16-inch’ wheel but technically the tire is 18 inches in diameter.

[@milordas]

Stiff suspension, big bearings, motor not sealed enough.. Inmotions quality overhyped. I like my Patton and dont plan to change it
