I love how passive aggressive the "Be Careful" alert is on these wheels, especially because it happens AFTER you've already come off.
Yeah, does make me laugh as well!
Awesome, looking forward to seeing the rest of your reviews in the future!
Cheers!
Thank you very much for this kind of videos! You are great at providing interesting very useful footage and information! And I find it all entertaining and relaxing to watch. I am sorry I wasn't on time to watch this. I hope you keep doing these awesome videos and reviews...
Thanks for being YOU. Love from Seattle Washington USA.
Thanks for watching all the way over the pond!
Always awesome content, thank you for being an unbiased source of info!
I appreciate that!
Thanks Ian have been waiting on this
No problemo!
Vielen Dank für die Mühe, besonders bei dem mega schlechten Wetter, bei schlam und Regen . Tolle ehrliche Rezension ,danke!
Kein Problem, freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!
Happy to see speedy feet giving review again ! V12 looks good .
Thanks for following along!
Thank you for all that great information. Your video has made me feel more comfortable with my decision to purchase V12.
Glad it helped!
Thanks Ian. The V12 is spot on for a 16in. wheel. All the bells and whistles. Happy New Year.🎇🎉
Happy new year!
Thanks for another review! Keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching!
Great review! Thanks for the detailed infos about the difference between the commuting mode and the offroad mode. Good to know we have to give a shot to it.
No problem, thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for making the video 🤙
No problem!
Algorithm brought me here, and i'm glad it did. Nice review.
Yay! Welcome!
Another great review. Thank you !
My pleasure!
I just ordered the V12. And I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into making these reviews.
Congrats 🎉
How is it so far sir? Any issues?
@@Cons2911 seconded, was looking to grab one as well
@@bordapatrol4930 I bought a v12 2 months ago, it’s great, issues aside
Great channel and video - I'm from the scooter background in terms of ownership but have found delving into the EUC category fascinating.
Thumbs up.
Cheers!
Great to see Bruce!
He’s a beut!
Nice review update!
Thanks!
Looks to me like you are doing winter madness on your own in this v12 review # I'm a bit jealous Ian but great informative video all the same. See you around and a Happy new year to you and your family 👍
Thanks 👍 Same to you. This would have been a mild winter madness ha ha
Very nice review, well done!!
Cheers!
Thank you for so many interesting videos!
No problem! Also checkout www.ElectricPeople.org
Great work...as usual.
Cheers dude!
Ty for the rear mud gaurd tip. Hardly ride in the rain but it will stop me from going through puddles so fast as I go to work.
No problem!
Usual informative review with some little points I've not heard mentioned before. Most North Europeans considering this as a main wheel for commuting and some off-road use are kinda interested in things like inadequate mudguards!
Cheers Matt, yeah the mudguard is kind of important...I wonder why they didnt test it properly in say..... mud ha ha
Quality,as usual Ian.
Cheers Mel!
Ian, excellent review and video. I received my V12 about 10 days ago and I have a friend that received his a few days later. Both of us have noticed a vibration in the wheel at 25MPH on mine and 30MPH on his V-12. I removed the tube valve, let the air out and discovered the tube was not completely inside the tire. About 10 inches was crushed against the tire bead and the rim. Once I was able to gently push the tube completely inside the tire and inflate the tube to about 30#, the vibration completely stopped. Notably, my friend had the exact same issue. Just thought I would mention. Also, I am 5feet six inches tall and weigh 130#...feather weight. Because I'm small and light, I noticed this vibration almost immediately.
Thx and looking forward to your next video with Jonathan.
Interesting. Worth noting for sure, I think mine is a different issue though (possibly) because in off road mode its all good I think. Thanks for the comment as we can check it out just in case!
So tempting.
Do it ;)
From TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY !!! YOU GO GUYS 1 LOVE & PEACE
Hi!
Great update 👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
Mine should be coming in the mail soon. Can't wait. 😎
Congrats!
Thanks! Should be a big step up from my V10F.
O HELL YEAH. 1 LOVE & PEACE. From TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY !!! YOU GO GUYS 1 LOVE & PEACE !!!
Great review as usual.
Love the look of the V12 and a big fan of Inmotion quality/safety.
Hopefully they will take in the constructive criticism.
I hope so too. Thanks for watching!
The pedestrians won't hear that noise or see you in city area's - they're too busy looking down at their phones with their earbud's in ( usually walking straight in to the road without so much as a glance😲 ) Thanks for the review's 👍👍
Sad true story!
Thumbs Up!! 👍 love it!!
Thank you! Cheers!
For me this is a good looking wheel, on that side profile ride segment it just looks nice. I do also like that the weatherproofing is way more improved as I went out on the S18 for 5 min and had to turn back as it was soaked and want to spare Mario from having to open it again. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah super good in the rain, proper chucking it down and not sign of any issues so far!
very nice final, "be careful, yeah i'll be careful" 🤣
Lol
Thanks, much enjoyed. I’m really tempted to move up to a V12 when they are a little more established. Great vid comunque, very informative. A lot of the criticism I’ve heard seems to be from people who have bought this as a first wheel!!! I really can’t see this or the Sherman as a starter / learner wheel.
Glad it was helpful! I think it would work as a first wheel, nothing offensive about it and would certainly not lead to a second purchase 6 months down the line as you can really out grow it.
I put together this helpful video for which wheel to buy (first time buyers and accomplished riders): electricpeople.org/post/which-electric-unicycle-is-best-for-me-5e8cb38260242b53ae7229fb
Awesome!
Cheers!
Cool review very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, I love the idea of EVs and micromobility and would really like to try out an EUC one of these days. Plus you're only down the road from me in Gloucester!
I love the cross country ride and reviews
Cheers, glad you enjoyed them!

Hey just wanted to say put tyre slime in your tyre it's a green slime you won't get flats I'm new to euc riding and purchased v12 as my first wheel have put 50 miles on since Xmas really alot of fun 😉 stay safe.
From TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY YOU GO GUYS 1 LOVE & PEACE
go go go
Gadget? 😀
Hi. Thanks. Wich pressure ? For me 2.2 or 2.3. I try to decrease the volume of the vroom noise but impossible. So i ve cut it off..
You didn't have to add a whole section to your video just because my initial thought was that the range seemed low, I get it now sheesh 😅
Ignoring comments is not great, and obviously still not clear as for the last 3 or 4 of years in every range test video we get the same old comments in regard to the range; hence addressing it (and another video dedicated to it will follow at some point). Speed is the biggy followed by rider weight, then tire pressure, outside temp and terrain
Nice
Hi Ian Iam loving the mten3, done about 30km so far.👍
Keep it up, nice one!
I've been looking at getting something like this but I see a lot of posts talking about the legality of these and other things like scooters etc here in the UK apparently it is only legal to ride on private property?
Great vid as always how would you compare this to the new model RS or even gotway EXN ….as a second wheel currently enjoying v11 …keep the content coming
I am partial to a 16inch wheel as its a little more compact, and with this unit its so solidly built...and has all the features built in (the waterproofing seems really good as well which is a welcome to us brits!)
TRUE STORY YOU GO GUY 1
Cheers bro!
Hi Ian have you ever been pulled by the police whilst out on any euc? Apparently they're illegal on the road in the England. 😭
What are the top two wheel for city?
I notice that some buyers have a fender on theirs. Where to order these?
I’m over 200mi on mine and this is my 3rd wheel now and by far the best to date. Not had your light problem however I don’t do many night rides.
I used to love the sound but the latest update makes it sound like metal Micky which I hate sonI hope they bring back the old one.
Pads and honeycombs have improved my ride immensely too.
Perfect balance of weight and speed and easily get 50mi which makes it perfect commuter IMO.
Keep up the good work 👍
Congrats on the wheel and thanks for your thoughts on it! Happy New Year!
Have you encountered any cutouts? I'm seeing some post about it. Looking to buy a v12
@@Cons2911 never! it’s been rock solid with zero issues and now over 1000 mi and I ride it to its limits
@@ColsPinballMods would you say this is ok for a beginner? Or too heavy?
@@Cons2911 well I started with a V10F which is a light and nimble wheel which will build your confidence and get any knocks and spills out of the way which will happen while learning.
I done over 1350 mi on my V10F and sold it on easily.
A mate got the V11 and although a great wheel doesn’t give real world feedback and is no where as nimble.
My advice but something second hand cheap and learn to ride then hand on heart consider the V12 it’s a great commuting wheel I regularly do 60mi plus on mine without holding back but I’m quite the lightweight at 65kg
Best 16 inch wheel I have ever ridden.
Its got it all hasn't it!
@@Speedyfeetuk It doesn't have suspension, do you miss it?
When are you getting the new v12 high torque version with the knobby tires?
Two different models, HT not being produced until around March 2022, its slower than the V12 though so will see how many people want to order one.
Hi man, let me ask you.. did you have any problems with wobbles on this wheel? I just bought one two weeks ago, and wobbles are very bad.. thanks for your answer.. Mike.
No, but I wrote this article which I paste here for your reference, hope it helps!
“Speed Wobble
A speed wobble is a wobble you get when riding, its usually when you are going up to the area where you are not used to going that quickly.
Most often this occurs with new riders, or even riders who have been riding years but get on a faster machine than they are used to.
The best way of solving this issue is to ride up to a speed where the wobble starts, then back off a little, then, build back up to the speed again, and repeat the process; through this practice you will eliminate the wobble.
Also an important part to the process is being relaxed (which is what practice does - it makes you more relaxed as you get acustomed to the feel of the wheel). Breathing deeply is a good way of smoothing out the wobble.
Braking Wobble
Now there is a wobble under heavy braking AKA a 'Braking Wobble'. This is usually because under these conditions your body is much more ridged. But it can also be foot positioning; if one foot is slightly more forward it can cause uneven pressure when harshly leaning backwards. NOTE: foot positioning rarely applies to a 'Speed Wobble'”
How long are the cranks?
What is youre weight and how much psi do you have in youre tire?
I've liked and commented😀
Nice one!
Speedy Feet UK. What wheel do you like better between the s18 or v12 ?
V12 for me!
How much pounds you weight , I’m at 160lbs and get a lot of high speed wobble at 32 psi.
Good 👍🏾
Cheers!
wish they upgraded the mudguard as well in the HT version at least..
It would help thats for sure!
Thank you very much for this video ! Is it a 2nd batch ? There have been quite a few cases of cut outs on 2nde batches, what's your take on that ? Thanks !
No issues at all with ours, so cant really comment on that (I am at 350km currently, Jon is around 250km I think), will keep on reporting :)
@@Speedyfeetuk Could be second batch issue only. We're talking with inmotion, official communication has been sent to limit V12 speed to 20 kph... Some riders are in ER right now, it was before limited to lower speed crash, now 50+ kph cut outs are a thing, with dead mosfets being the main denominator.
Little odd, hopefully they will find out root cause, from the comments it seems to be firmware related perhaps 🤔 (currently on 460km with no issues).
There is this thread on our forum: electricpeople.org/post/inmotion-is-working-on-their-reputation-lol-ian-hopefully-will-survive-the---61cf730c30ccc3d4d0459c51
@@Speedyfeetuk I hope they do. Ewheels reported a 10% failure rate, seems to be much above every wheel I've ever heard off. Mosfets positioning and bending might be the issue according to some, bending those as much without soldering blistering is a QC nightmare, might explain why bumps seem to be the trigger ? Inmotion is outsourcing its board, which might explain poor QC... It's been mostly thought that FW is not the issue, but you have more cards in your hands than we do. Thanks for this review though, hopefully this will be solved very soon ...
Inmotion have made some exciting wheels lately, sort of a change of style from Inmotion V10f and previous wheels. V11 and V12 .. Why do we need so many chargers? Is V12 different from the V11 charger? I realise 100V and 84V are different voltage -- maybe Inmotion V13 will be more than 100V like the Kingsong s20?
Its a very fast wheel lovely....
Yeah voltages have slowly creeped up over the years. Bigger batteries over time as well (more capacity) mean huge charge times, so little by little they have been bumping up the AMPS the chargers output.
Seems great. But also like there are a lot of little fixable problems that inmotion should address and might make one hesitate for awhile.
Will let you all know if there are any problems we come across as and when they occur!

Are these legal ? i have not seen them in Germany .. excellent video.. their is potential for even more imo ( so that you gain even more success )
My 15yr old grandson is awaiting his V12 here to join me on the Nik 100v any day now - Ian I never did find a 650km or 1000km review on the Nik 100v - did you guys ever do those two reviews or did you abandon that wheel for some reason? Thanks for this review.
We got behind on the reviews on the Nik, so ended up selling it to a customer who wanted it desperately! Hope your grandson enjoys his V12.
Join us all over on www.ElectricPeople.org as well would love to see some ‘group’ ride pics of you 2!
@@Speedyfeetuk - Thanks will do ... all the best in 2022
I nearly bought one but went for a 16x for now. As a beginner, that feels heavy enough to me so the V12 seems a little too heavy? I do wish the lights were brighter, they look too dim compared to other wheels. Hopefully Inmotion will tweak the shells so that the plastic is clear where the lights are, as I know the actual LEDs are pretty bright underneath. Great reviews BTW!
Thanks for following along. At night they are nice and bright, but would be good to have them brighter and then ability to tone down in the all like you can with the front lights.
Hi Speedy Feet, great videos! I’m just wondering if electric unicycling legal all around UK? I used to ride a kingsong wheels until the goverment of singapore ban it’s usage to the path walk and on road, however, they allowed it on shared pathway, like those for joggers and for cycling. The reason why I asked is that I am planning to move in the UK this year, and I’m so excited to ride EUC to work again. 🤞🏼
To air on the side of caution - no. I think its a grey area but thats me, and wont help you if you do get into legal wrangles! Take a look at czcams.com/video/Lbt3sXWxoSo/video.html for my encounter with the police first hand.
I liked and commented.
I have a quick question. I've had my inmotion v12 for a week know. An my charger just stopped working. It's brand new. If you have any idea why it doest work anymore that would be great. I'm new to the EUC community.
You could check the fuse in the plug, but its likely that something in the charger itself has blown/stopped working.
Join the www.ElectricPeople.org community!
@@Speedyfeetuk Thank you very much for getting back to me. Ya I'm pretty sure it just died. Do you have any recommendations other chargers? Have a great night
If the V12 is set up properly, it would be very nice. The V12 I tried wasn't configured to my taste.
If you want to be a better rider, set the footplates on the highest and don't use pads. That's how the V12 was configured. I don't know the software settings.
I often read about wobble or vibrations with the V12. Would setting footrests in highest position help against this wobbling? Waiting for mine to arrive, already got the hex 4 wrench to do the adjusting but still deciding on initial height :)
@@forstfodd No higher means less stable. But that's why it will improve your posture. For learning set it low.
18:42 ah yeah you filmed that rocking oscillation well.
Maybe slightly different pedal sensitivity settings would eliminate the resonance with your weight/speed combo.
I experience something similar on Sherman when seated at some speeds, only in Hard mode but not Medium.
Is the 1.5.4 firmware rollout still halted? I remember it was for iOS devices due to some wheels getting bricked.
Your Sound Wave in the video sounds like the "old" one.
Then some new V12 have low speed cutout issues when hitting some bumps that's has been experienced by several riders, that has been confirmed by Inmotion but no root cause was identified yet.
I have uploaded what she is currently running on here: electricpeople.org/post/current-details-of-the-v12-i-am-testing-for-those-asking-61cc769179423510e8f25d4b
@@Speedyfeetuk Makes sense!
I guess the app is not suggesting upgrading the firmware to 1.5x for you then.
Would I suggest upgrading tho, not sure given the cut-outs which are possibly firmware related.
my v12 rocks back a forth with a little tilting movement u were taking about at around 19 mins into your video here comment reply back if you can much appreciated riding here in Washington area ..
Inmotion might not be the fastest on the market, but they certainly are the most reliable ones. If you find a good fix for the mudguard I hope to see it in the next review.
Will let you know!
and the intermittent headlight issue - that would be scary
Not sure if I can pick this up having the v8 & v11
In what way sorry?
@@Speedyfeetuk it looks fun that's for sure but I'm loving the v11
I wish they would offer a better mud guard...
Me too!
Does it feel top heavy?
No, cant say it does, it feels well balanced. Obviously the higher the footplates the less the centre of gravity takes effect.

What settings for your v12
In what regard sorry?

@@Speedyfeetuk I just got my v12 but I dont know which settings I should use like commuter or off rode, pedal height, or should I go default everything.
Your in UK right ... How do you get away with riding it everywhere even roads and pavements. Thought they illegal on road and pavements ???
Would advise anyone worried to seek legal advise of their own, but I personally feel there is a defence in regard to the use of the term unicycle as really its a monowheel..Since 2014 and tens of thousands of miles I have only been stopped once, and invited the police back to my place to discuss, they agreed it was a grey area and went no further.
Others have fared worse. It needs a clear instruction (in favour of them being used correctly and responsibly)
@@Speedyfeetuk yeh agreed needs legislation but not there yet. Just worried about spending £2000 on one then it's gets seized or crushed or whatever they do.
Commented
Imagine having a wheel that never needs charging? The technology exists. We’ll look back in 5 years and laugh.
Your massive waterproofs/flares always get in the way off the wheels visuals .other than that good informative vid👍
Motorbike trousers (Alpinestars). To be fair, I am far more concerned about being warm and dry that showing 10% more of a wheel side lol
@@Speedyfeetuk there covering what your displaying is all i meant,good informative video apart from that👍
Whats covered that you would like to see, will see if I can get more info on it.
Im just playing ian lighten up.its lucky your not reviewing the mten 3 😉
Lightening up after Christmas is not going to be easy, still have lots left over to get through.
500👍
Hot 600km today, 650km review coming soon!
I would leave a comment, but I have nothing to say.
Ha ha
Did you see the V12 High torque.
No...although from riding it so far can't say its lacking in that department, perhaps if it was sat on a 18 or 19 inch tire but not with this 16 on it.
@@Speedyfeetuk High torque motor with 60kmh top speed. Wider reinforced rim. CST like offroad tire. Improved motherboard with +23% power output. Advertised 45 degree incline riding
Curious if the HT would be a better option for me at 250lbs (114kg)? I think it would, although the HT has a reduced top speed of 60kph vs the 70kph of the original version. I like having a high top end to give a nice buffer from cutouts. I typically ride my EX.N (purchased from SpeedyFeet!) at around 30mph (48kph) so I think the HT would still be great... decisions decisions…
I think I’m waiting for the HT version 👍🏼
@@ZeroAlligator at that weight torque is more important for giving you power to brake and accelerate and prevent cutouts from sudden power demands like wind and ruts.
If top speed is your goal I’d recommnd a wheel larger than 16”
🙂👍
Cheers Mike!
наверное эти подергивания сделаны системно, для безопасности . тебе лично нужно колесо ,у которого максимальная скорость ЕЩЕ ВЫШЕ? 60 километров в час , и больше? или это идеально?

I want one but at 45 yo, probably not a great idea.
Oldest customer is 84!
I'm 56 years old and just started. Now have have 3 wheels, v10f, 16x, Sherman. The 16x is my favorite.
@@enjoyyourlife1510 I’m 61 and I’m well over 2k miles now and couldn’t live without it. I started on a V10F which is a great beginner wheel and stuck about 1500 miles on that before buying the V12.

Lol your eye pro lol
I wish the original soundwave was still available, the new soundwave sucks!!
I think they can do it with a firmware change OTA. Just give us an email: info@speedyfeet.co.uk and will see what we can do. (You will need to send user name and S/N of the wheel)
