You can carve up an empty road like a Christmas Turkey on a V10F. 15,000km and still going.
Wow! Thats amazing mileage!
How many times have you replaced the tire? My Ninebot One S2 tire blew out at about 5000 KM laying me out on the street 😂 looking into getting a V10F now and just wanna know when I should get the tire changed to make sure that doesn't happen at V10F speeds (cause I don't wear gear)
@@laurasanchez7105 I just change it when the tread is almost completely gone, but I'm obviously in love with danger since I don't wear gear anymore either! Lol. Have fun with it!
@@MichaelCoughlanmusic Oh yeah here I was thinking I was gonna get shit talked for not wearing any haha, my Ninebot tire was completely flat and even had small cracks in it months before it popped, should have known better but I didn't know where I could even get it changed. And I didn't know it would actually pop like that lol, figured it would just slowly lose air. Anyway thank you for the reply!!
@@laurasanchez7105 Woops, ya man, I had a little tire pop once and went flying but it was at a low speed and I tucked and rolled, popping back up for a bow to everyone at a crowded intersection in Miami.
Had mine for 4.5 years now and its still going strong. Havent really felt the need to upgrade yet, I love it!
Awesome
What's your milage?
I think there are two classes of EUCs.
Class A: an EUC that is used as last mile vehicle. You throw these in the trunk and use it when it’s convenient. The V10 is absolutely one of the best wheels for this.
Class B: a complete replacement for cars. Here we are taking about Sherman suspension, master pro, v13, etc.
Agree; and the exact same split, not based on features pe-se, but on available finances which then determine available features within that budget.
If advising those on restricted budget best bang for buck type scenario - taking into account all factors the V10F is a good bet.
Last mile for me would be the even smaller wheels in size and range. V10f feels like a tweener wheel kind of among these classes. But in terms of everything modern features and true speed and range it definitely falls sort of the bigger class.
Couldn't agree more.
But yet, the legislators, don't know shit or are afraid and then just authorize the 1st class, leaving anything else illegal.
I think it would be perfectly reasonable for the 2nd class wheels to allow them on the roads with proper registration and insurance.
I don't get it why EUC or any pEVs is good last mile solution. Never leave it in the trunk of the car due to battery, need to wear gear even in short miles and need to keep battery at charge. Better off get some folding bike like Brompton for last mile solution. Except u park your car 99% in the garage with moderate temperature. Bigger wheel is the way to go tho
@@mikelo9006When I'm on a V10, I don't wear any gear. Also, unlike a bike, I can put the V10 under a restaurant table. Agree w/ the heat, but I'm up here in Seattle, it doesn't get too hot even during the summer.
Typical use is: Get to the place I'm trying to go, drop off my passengers, drive the car a bit further to find a cheaper/free/better/only available parking spot. Use V10 to get to my party.
My first and only wheel! Still happy with it after three years.
Awesome!
Same here!
It still lives because is a very good EUC. The simplest, the better. I still use my V8f for daily commute. Very practical when combined with the metro. V12 is also a fine beast but I cannot find everyday the nerves for fighting with a very heavy traffic when going to work so a v10f is also a good choice for metro-EUC combination.
Agree!
Loved the retrospective video, It’s a great concept and yes that wheel would enable most people to satisfy their personal transportation requirements. I have not entered the market but live vicariously through your great videos, I can’t quite bring myself to ignore the legal issues.
Glad you enjoyed it! Wish they would make it super clear and a route to allow the freedom of use of these amazing little wheels.
The V10F is an excellent wheel. My wife has one and I'll zip around on it every once in a while. It's a Fantastic commuter wheel.
Team riding, brilliant stuff!
I use mine for pleasure rides and for zipping around the holiday park where i work.......puts a smile on the guests faces...they probably think i'm bonkers.Gets up all the inclines at our park with ease,is fast enough and has great range.Great wheel.
That’s awesome
The V10F is only a 16x2,5" wheel. But the ride on smooth surfaces is totaly amazing. It feels like you are floating. If you ride it casual and not as aggressive as Ian usually does on his range tests it will give you 40km per charge. The only bad thing about this wheel is the trolley handle. It feels like it's broken right of out the box, but it works fine. But if you crash the wheel it's the part most likely to break.
Yeah, the tire combo seems to just work, its pretty amazing in that regard.
The 10F is a classic. It’s my fiancée’s wheel (bought through you guys of course!) and all most people need unless you’re an enthusiast. Most people don’t want to spend more than £1500.
Agree! For most its a lot of money.
A fiancee using eucs ? She's a keeper
I sold my Sherman but kept the V10F, it’s the wheel I always grab to go to the post office, or put in the back of the car for a work trip. I don’t need any more
Recently met someone riding a V10 and chatted a bit. He's been riding it for 4 years and perfectly happy with the wheel. Not everyone needs the latest and greatest wheel and having something portable and reliable like the V10 makes more sense for a lot of folks.
I loved my V10!! Smooth ride and solid build.
Yeah super smooth.
Great to see you again, Ian.
My V10F here in Australia is cactus. It’s only got about 600kms on the clock yet my V10F in Poland has around 7k and is still going like the day I opened the box! I’ve put this on trains under my legs and travelled throughout Europe and it’s never let me down! I have had the dead one examined here in Oz and it’s only the battery (which during Covid was left abandoned - I was stuck in Europe for 2 years). I’ve been told that I can’t get new replacement batteries for it (that’s what they tell me in Australia) Do you have them available there in the UK? It’s such a great EUC - perfect for common sense riding (allrounder is true) and no thuggery! Thanks again for the video!
Wow, awesome, glad its been so good, like many others who have left us reviews, its done the job! Re batteries no issue this side as far as I am aware, we have had and can still get batteries from my understanding. It MIGHT be more that its a real expensive pursuit bringing just batteries in on their own perhaps.
Such a perfect description - “Common sense riding” - yes - you can’t help but behave on the V10, but it can still haul you up most hills.
Are the batteries anything more than 18650s in a custom housing with heatshrink? look up 18650 Dot club and look for battery builders your end?
My wheel! Enjoyed that. Cheers Ian.
Glad you enjoyed it
Bought a V10 4 years ago thinking it's just gonna be my starting wheel and I will replace it after learning. Still is my only wheel and never felt the need to upgrade.
I bought the patton as my first wheel. It's heavy weight made it hard to learn different things on, but with enough hours put in its doable. I ordered the v10f now to save milage on the patton. Looking forward to test it out.
It was my 1st wheel per your recommendation and it was fantastic. Sold it to a friend who is still using it.
Cheers
I love the V10f
Yay!
My first wheel was the V10F and it was incredibly durable. Even after clocking over 7,000km, it's still functioning despite being heavily worn out. I would highly recommend it. However, my only gripe is that the damn handle clip tends to break very easily.
Wow! Thats amazing!
Amazing video!! Love it
Thanks!
I drove the V10 f for more than 10,000 kilometers. I don't want it for anything else. This is a very successful model.
Nice!
Your back!!!!!!!!! 🎉
In part yes 😎
I totally agree with your views and sentiment Ian.
A great price for a practical wheel, with plenty of speed and range for a non extreme rider.
I had the V10 in the UK and used it for country lane riding in Warks, nipping to the nearest supermarkets, visiting friends and keeping it in the back of my motorhome so I could park up in a quiet place for eg, in Lake Windermere and then ride into the town for a coffee or a pie.
I sold it a couple of years ago and it held it's price well.
I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand these days and I'm on my second Nikola.
Prior to that, I rode a different Nikola in Christchurch, NZ and an MSX for commuting in Melbourne.
It's a pity that Begode don't make the Nikola because it has just that little bit of an edge over the V10/F in terms of max speed (60km/h) and range (50-70 km).
Similar design to the V10F with the same robustness and excellent water resistance, onbaord speakers and I love the Led combos. Would probably be a bit more than a V10F but for me, the Nik gives me all I need to ride up the mountains and nip to the market and to go off to play sports.
I highly recommend the V10/F and when I returned to it, I was not disappointed. It's smooth, safe and reliable.
Thanks for the insight!
I’m 52. My first wheel on September 9th, 2022 (almost a year ago!) was the V10F second hand. It had 60mi on it and I got it for $500! It has been a dream with 2000mi on it now as I commute to work frequently. It gets me off of the couch and wanting to do stuff. This means that I have saved 130gal of fuel as well.
Yes, I want suspension. Yes, I want something faster. No, I can’t afford it. Even saying that, I don’t feel left out with it. It doesn’t sit in the corner and waste space. It gets ridden and enjoyed. I prefer it!
My current weight and shape is much higher than it should be. The V10F capacity is 265lbs. I am 247lbs with no clothes. It made me get off several times one day and I weighed myself when I got home (safely) and I weighed 283lbs with the garbage I was carrying!!! It took me but it just didn’t like it.
Just ordered my second tire for my second tire change. It’s inexpensive and not too difficult.
I’ll dream of more speed while I dance along weaving back and forth to the music while smiling. 😂
That is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Got mine on June 2022. First wheel, now 6400 km later keeps going well. Only service required, one tire change and an online battery calibration, apart of cleaning and check tire pressure. Excellent records. Recommended ( and had marvellous time on it )
How does the online battery calibration work? How did you know that it is needed?
Wow, thats some good milage!
Good realistic review. I have a V8f and I’m 76 years old and don’t need fastest/most expensive. But I think I’ll move to V11 cause it will make my range just right and glide.
V11 good wheel (just make sure latest version with updated bearing fix
I picked up a used one 1 week ago and absolutely love it! Only been riding about 2 months. Tried first with Airwheel then Inmotion V5 then this! For me this was easier to ride than the V5!
Thanks for sharing!
This is so true. I learned nearly four years ago years ago on a V8f. I moved on after 2000kms to my V12HT.. but I still use the V8f loads. It’s so practical, reliable and fun, I still really enjoy riding it. New riders who attempt to start out on a heavy, powerful suspension wheel are make life difficult for themselves, and frankly are missing out on the fun and practicality of the lighter, agile and more portable wheels. As you say the V8/10 wheels are excellent.. but so are the Kingsong 14/ 16 and 18 series as well.
Exactly, something about these wheels!
Love your idea to mix it up
Yay, thank you!
3300km, and 3 years later I've done 0 mainenance on my V10F and its still going strong!
That is brilliant!
Exactly, I do with V8 in the boot for everyday errands and S18 for the weekend.
Nice one!
Thats my learning wheel, still got it and its my go to wheel for my relaxed commutes and when the others dont work lol
Nice one, still working!
It’s a classic for sure. If I could only have one wheel, it’d be high on the list I’d be looking at. I started on a V8S and got a new EXN marked down to a v10 price. I still use the V8S quite a lot, for practical stuff it’s hard to beat, the v10 would be just that little bit more fun if I only had one wheel. For a short run or if I’m going to get on a train or bus, I’m very glad to have the v8s. The V8S also has the advantage that it is completely legal where I live (up to 25 mph is fine), so no hassles on a commute. I use the EXN almost exclusively for fun, as you say. It’s heavy enough it can be annoying trying to take it in places.
Thanks for the insight, you have a good array of wheels there to fit most situations
I just bought it now in2024 after these comparison videos, looks effective🎉😊
Awesome, congratulations!
A closed road is the best kind of road. They will finally finish the pathway from my suburb to the rest of the city in two days time (after about 10 years). Then it will be possible to escape without a car. Can’t wait to get out there on the S18. Incidentally, while we’re talking about older wheels that are still awesome, I think the S18 is still the best balance of all, at least for me. Love the suspension but it’s liftable. Top speed isn’t racy but totally usable. Battery isn’t huge but will get me from home to work and back. Nice looking wheel too. Did you ever end up finishing the 1000 mile review on the S18?
Closed roads are awesome ;)
1000 mile review on the S18....yes, take a look here: czcams.com/video/RcAVW7NAc7A/video.htmlsi=P6p17-6zOMm1y1vU
Using mine for 2k km now, it was incredible wheel upgraded from ninebot A1, now riding both depending on distance, V10f still gives me the nice morning ride for coffee. 😅
Brilliant!
Twitchy as hell to hop on once you've ridden the Sherman S for a few months 🤣
I loved my V10F. Was my first wheel just over year ago now. Bought it as a early 59th birthday gift to myself. Racked up over 3800 km in the 9 months I had it. Only reason I sold it was I couldn't justify having both. Happy Wife. Happy life 😆
Thats some good milage!
Selling old wheels and not hoarding is very good. Less waste and more new riders that get a chance.
My V8F failed - bent the axel, and replaced it with a V10F (also this years production) to go with my main V12-HS. It’s a great wheel for errands and commuting and teaching others to ride- I take it out whenever I will be going a bit slower and want to be more sociable with the neighborhood.
There are always others that want to learn after seeing us float around, its great to have a wheel which you can lend out and not worry to much about!
@@Speedyfeetuk well … lending out the V8F was why it came back with a bent axel :) But it was the older thin axel variant, they have thicker ones now I believe. V10F is such a good learner wheel because like you say, it’s still very useful once you have learnt, whereas the V8F was beeping at me the moment I could stay for for more than a couple of blocks. I’m on the heavier side, no matter what unit of measurement you choose ;)
@@brushlessmotoring Yes v8f now has a 17 mm axle that is strong enough for normal and moderate trail use.
I was torn between the V10 and the Kingsong 18L.
Still love the look of the V10F.. Very classy.
Funny how they are now entry-level wheels where as before they were the ultimate.
I'd love one rather than a crotch rocket tbh
Yeah, the direction has changed for biggest and fastest pretty much!
Immensely practical and a pleasure to learn and experience your early miles on to be sure. I have often thought that people buying big wheels from the onset, could easily be put off the experience. My Ninebot One E+ though not nearly as capable as this (or anything like to be honest), I still use more than I care to admit. I still love small wheels, agile, fun to ride, easy to sling in the car. Oh if you want any prospect of riding backwards, this would be the way to learn 🙂
Exactly!
I’m still struggling with backwards on the V10F - just can’t reverse everything I’ve learnt to go forwards - any and all tips appreciated!
@@brushlessmotoring For me lots of practice hanging onto the cooker rail on one side and the kitchen table on the other. Backwards came first, the transition from forward to backwards came next, finally the transition from backwards to forwards. It's slow so allow the wheel to flop side to side between your shins. I would do two cycles of back and forth, then 10, then 50, then 100. On taking the wheel outside not having the potential support left or right slowed me a bit and doing anything but forward and back, like turning for example another thing to learn. I was going forward and back about 12ft to start, later I also tried rocking on a foot or so forward and back. My Ninebot One E+ the only wheel I'm any good at. Lack of practice on my other wheels being my fault.
@@brushlessmotoring take a look at: czcams.com/video/zemV6-ffcwk/video.html hope this helps?
I still ride my 16s mostly, even though i have a s22.
these smaller older non suspension wheels with their sub 20kg weight and great trolley handles are still great.
Agree, sub 20kg sounds mad nowadays!
@@Speedyfeetuk if only they could add a very light mini suspension to get over smaller obstacles, having to go around or step off and move/walk it is the biggest handicap
Still have the original v10 (not v10f) it really does do everything well , enough power pull my 13is stone body, decent speed and range for a leisurely cruise,
Slim profile which is excellent for learning to ride with a decent trolley, 16inch tire with the slim profile makes it a doddle to even mess around with in my flat as it's agile as hell,
not mention the thing I love most about it, it's probably one the best even to this day in terms of weather proof wheels
Epic feedback!
In my view the V10F is a very under rated wheel.
Agree!
I just ordered one a month ago as my first wheel after doing lots of research. They really seem like a class of their own and I don't see me selling it, after having learned to ride and having ordered my V14 :D
Inmotion doesn't have them on their website anymore. I think they're selling out the last pieces. I'd say get one before they're gone ;)
Good choice!
And one stop after KS 18 Is also a great all rounder, better trolley handle that doesn’t get dirty or hide the stop light with a bigger wheel. To bad makers are not investing anymore in that type of wheels
Yeah. Hopefully they will revert and fill this area of the market again!
Solid
What is your opinion on the v10f vs the king song ks-16s? Been trying to decide between these two wheels. No one has compared the and they are about the same price
16s is quicker and is also a solid wheel. Not quite as comfy as the V10F on road/trails.
it really is a nice looking wheel
Agree!
I've owned 10 different wheels, but moved to SG where they're illegal :-( But i spend a few months in Tbilisi a year for work so grabbed a v10F there for when i'm in town. Still a great wheel. Would probably have gotten a Nik+ but for a grand the v10F is justifiable even if i only ride it 3 months a year.
Nice one. Seems a lot of people still use theirs in this manner as well
I have the v8f which is great but no speakers for music. How can you ride the wheel without music?
Love the silence, and enjoying nature. Dont know many people who ride using the speakers.
My vey first wheel, great wheel to start with if I do say so myself. 🙂
Totally agree!
I like my ninebot one c+ but the battery stop take charge cant find it to buy 1😢
Yeah, only option is to refurb it really now.
mm should i buy this, I had first batch V10 but dreamed about the F.
Where abouts do you ride?
What is the lifespan of the battery ?
Someone told me that you only get about 4y out a battery ! ? ? !🎉
A lot of money for 4y use ! As replacing the battery is also very expensive.
I want to sell my V10 b/c I don't use it, but I'll never forget the ease of taking an Uber with it in the backseat with me. Doing that with my V11 would be a chore.
Yeah the ease of transporting it makes it so versatile!
I got a v8f and its enough to comute so i can imagine v10f is just right 👍
Nice one, how long have you had your V8F?
@@Speedyfeetuk 2 years! Over 5k on it, but I had to replace the motor once when I broke my axel, it's really not meant for going off road or big drops. But it's been through rain, snow, mud it's truely weather proof. But saving up for maybe v12 or adventure next
V8f is rumoured to be more responsive at low speed.
At the time I bought the Z10, the V10F was my natural second choice. Now the Z10 ist kaputt, maybe I should cut my losses and think of buying that V10F as it's replacement? For the price it would serve all my current needs.
I think you potentially could. Z10 is a faster wheel…did you get used to utilising that higher top speed or was that how you used it?
Also, the one in the video is for sale FYI, haven’t advertised it anywhere yet. Literally used it just for this review! £1k + shipping (£15 approx). ~10 miles on it! Let me know if you want in!
👍
👍
Many of the companies making wheels should have beginner wheels in production for beginners. Although, the cost of gettjng a beginners wheel and then a consistent wheel after, puts a strain on the pocket
That can be an issue. I find the V10f sits in the middle. Its always a wheel you can utilise regardless of experience
Segway
Such a shame they stopped making EUC’s 😞
16x next pls for these retros... :D
Would have to locate one first 😎 One day perhaps as a trade in or something!
"The Begode Tesla V3 is the equivalent of a compact sports car among 16″ eWheels.
Never had this with all the ones we have sold, are you in a hot climate at all?
What’s the rules on riding these things in the uk now?
Positive view on EUC at its best would be 'grey area', but I would always treat it as not allowed if concerned about the ramifications. No issues to date since 2014 for us, but thats not really a legal answer!
@@Speedyfeetuk cheers. Always loved the idea of commuting to work on one but don’t want to get it seized after a couple of days 😂😩
I think it depends on where you live and the police mentality in that area. We have had nothing but level headed polite interactions, which has given me at least earned respect for them!
@@Speedyfeetuk good to hear. I see loads of regular electric scooters bombing around by me so I’d think their view on uni’s would be the same. Maybe in a few months I’ll just take the plunge and hope for the best. 🤞🏻
@calvingibbon8012 keep us posted!
speedyfeet... rookie mistake: put more air in the tire out of the box 😂 i am surprise to see the price actually did not really go down unfortunately
As per previous reply to previous comment this AM, 30psi spot on for me (and importantly my back!)
Wow so interesting. When i weighed 160 lb i had a gotway msv3 and i heard beeps at about 39km/h. Maybe i shouldve gotten a v10😂
😂
10f is nice but a little slow... I love my V11 and my v13...
Maybe tyre needs some air?
Spot on for me and my back! (30psi)
V11 and V13 brilliant wheels..but as per video the barrier to these is almost always money.
@@Speedyfeetuk I have back problems too when I ride EUC, here is a good solution: 1) Ride seated 2) use "Rumanian deadlift" (lifting weights) to get stronger abs and back muscles. 2x10 repetitions every day 3) Ride suspension wheels only.
@@Speedyfeetuk I see but v11 is affordable
I believe you don't need to mention UK in the channel name😂 It's clearly audible from first seconds 😂
Unless its Andrew doing a video (Australian) or Mario (Bulgarian)
@@Speedyfeetuk gotcha, didn't expect that 😅
I love mine, it’s my ”Cadillac”. Stylish and simply nice. Then I’ve still got a v5f too, easy going, but nothing like boring, simply nice.
Yeah its held its looks well..
2 stone sounds like not much but it is fact 28 pounds lol which is a dramatic weight gain.
Yup! Fat git!
Speed doesn't matter because you are supposed to keep it to 40 km/h as a good citizen on a class 3 ebike would do...
Thats one way of looking at it! :)
I miss the days of more shell and less view of dusty dirty tire....
Yeah, its all exposed tire nowadays!
I love my Begode Tesla T3. Much better wheel. Too bad Begode do not make them anymore...
Same here. Tesla is my go-to vehicle over my Inmotion.
Having a supply of parts is vital for the longevity of wheel ownership. With the Tesla not being made anymore its a shame really. (although its a pricer wheel compared to the V10F so may also price a number of people out of the EUC world)
Rookie mistake: not pumping the tire after the unboxing.
Flippin rookies…
The Tesla V3 is much better. It is a rocket weighing 22 kilos. With 1,500wh battery
We also do those, although a little more expensive: www.speedyfeet.co.uk/collections/electric-unicycle/products/begode-tesla-t3-v3-1500wh-euc
Rubbish. Good bang … yes, … but certainly not for buck. My experience has been short lived; a good number of rides to and from a gym 4 km away, two rides to work (11 km away), and one 26 km ride to brag at a friends house … and a car ride of shame home. A total of 375 km from the box to the scrap heap.
Sounds like you had a bit of a dud! Where did you get it from?
Surely it was replaced under the 12month warranty?
