Ive had a V8F awhile and it is just what i needed. Other wheels weigh more or are bigger and i don't need the speed, i limit mine to 15mph. I really enjoy the V8 F, i could have had just a v8.
It's still nice to just have a bit more range and headroom!
I've been eyeing this wheel for quite some time, once winter is done here in Montreal, I'm gonna order this baby. Thanks for sealing the deal with me! First EUC! :D
oooo I still remember getting my first EUC it was just about the most exciting day of my life, you're gonna love it!!!
Awesome review, moving to a city for the first time in my life and looking to get my first EUC. This review sold me on the v8f! Appreciate the great content
Great review! We agree on the V8F being perfect for multi-modal commutes. Powerful enough to get you going, portable enough to carry with you.
Thank you! I love your reviews also! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to come out to the west coast to ride with you guys!
Thanks Hsiang So informative as usual, I needed so bad this review as you know I bought it this year & I love it a lot easier to drive & control due to its light weight. I mastered to brake easy on this wheel. It worth every single penny invested🥰🥰
V8 is a great light weight and easy to live with wheel, and honestly for most people whom use it for commute its about all that you need.
Top notch videography and review. Scenery there looks inviting!! I’m trying to make an informed decision on a purchase so I appreciate the videos and your honest opinions. 👍
Excellent video! Covering all these bases
Thank you glad you enjoy it!
Congrats on 4k
Thank you !!! Let see how long it'll take me to get to 5k!! =D
Another great review Hsiang! The Inmotion V5F was my first wheel and in spite of LOVING my Z10 - which your videos got me into - I still ride it four days out of seven! Why? because of the two incredibly important things you touch on in this review - lighter weight and excellent trolley handle. These factors can't be stressed enough if you want your wheel to be your buddy to hang out with. It was also it's cheapness compared to everything else around - the point you illustrated so well with the Honda Super Cub comparison. Learning the EUC can be a messy business and I'm glad I went cheap to at least not hurt my wallet as well as my shins! But a great bonus with Inmotion wheels is the padded cover - that saved a ton of scratches. Also, once I'd finished trashing it, I was able to buy a new cover, two new shells, two new pedals plus a new trolley handle which were readily available. Et voilà - good as new!
My only slight disagreement with your review was about it the V8F (and Inmotion wheels in general?) lacking style. I actually think they have a lot of style, in a sleek, minimalist way. Far more than every Gotway for example. Far more than Kingsong wheels too, for that matter! Only the wheels from Ninebot top them for looks, but One S2 and Z10s outdo every other wheel on the market in that department. Interestingly, Kingsong tried to style the 16X to capture some of the Z10's effortless cool and I think Gotway have tried hard to achieve 'the Inmotion look' with the Nikola. So image-wise big thumbs up to Inmotion!
Sorry for the long comment, but like Z10s, Inmotions are wheels I care about, sad to say!
I don't disagree with you on the design, Its like comparing Samsung phone design with Apple's. Not that Samsung lack style, just that Apple has an extra level of refinement and thoughtfulness when it comes to design. Inmotion wheels looks good, but it isn't quite at the level to inspire the level of techno lust that some other product does. Like a Harley or a Ducati bike
I agree with the trolley handle and lightness . Lots of wheels in my neighborhood don't seem to be on the road as my v8f. Like these wheels.
Bro, i been watching you for over a year now but this is the first time i saw you get freaky with a wheel! i see you! i knew you had the commentary on smizzash, but damn... you got moves too? you just moved into top 5 my guy.
LOL the lightness of the V8F inspires you to really experiment with it!
It's a good Commuter Unicycle! Also Changing the Tire is Easy,
Inmotion is the one brand I haven't ridden either. Thanks for the info, I hope to ride one in the future and see what they're all about.
Every brand have their own different feel so its definitely interesting to be able to ride wheels from a different brand!
Another great video!
Thank you!!
Inmotion V8 is the wheel I learned to ride on and I've also used it to commute to work for about 6 months. The points touched upon here is absolutely correct it is very nice for commuting. It has decent performance, its reliable, it has a very good trolley handle and is light enough to carry up and down stairs with relative ease and the cutoff switch works every time.
I'm probably looking at upgrading to a KS16X soon, but the V8 is still a very nice unicycle, especially if your trip involves trains and stairs.
EUC are still pretty new and the higher end wheels like the 16x can be a bit finnicky so it won't hurt to have a back up wheel plus you'll prob still use that V8 for shorter distance runs and/or when you know you'll have to go up and down stairs
Indeed. And it can ride easily under heavy rain, no problem. However, the tilt back is a bit too soft and there isn't that much power. My v8 had a cutoff the other and 20 miles per hour and I didn't even feel the tilt back. Bad crash. Injured shoulder still hurts 3 months later...
@@gstbad Really? While the tiltback is soft, I never fail to notice it. And if I try to overtilt it, it will always make those loud obnoxious noises that tells me to slow down.
Love my Inmotion V10! Their wheels generally lack the huge range you get with gotway and KS but as a brand Inmotion are known for excellent build quality and reliability
It's a very likable wheel, yes not comparable to the performance of Gotway or kingsong but some time it isn't about speed!
Hsiang When you say the InMotion wheels do not compare to the “PERFORMANCE” of the Gotway or KS wheels, can you please expound upon the specifics of that observation? Thank you!
He's talking about the current lineup of high-end wheels: Gotway and kingsong high end wheels such as the Nikola, MSX, 16x, and 18xl. Inmotion's fastest wheel, the v10F, cannot compete against these wheels on speed and range. However, it is priced accordingly at several hundred dollars less.
I'm not sure Inmotion will ever produce a 25mph+ wheel as they seem to have not pursued the extreme performance route, but rather focus on safety, high quality design and components, and ergonomics.
Wen's World OK. Thanks for the input. What’s your thoughts about the Kingsong 18L?
@@flhandster4395 Solid wheel that you can get you 31mph and good range for the price point. You probably wouldn't outgrow it any time soon. EUCO is running a sale on them right new.
I love the audio choice with the lav
Took me a while to figure it out but I am pretty happy with the setup now!
Great videos!
Thank you!!
Nice job capturing the subway experience! I ended up getting the i5 and my only wish is that it had a trolly handle to make standing on the platform/train easier. I’ve scared many unsuspecting people with my i5 falling to the floor with a loud CRASH (I try to leave it standing on the floor so I don’t have to carry it the whole time). 🤦♀️
A fellow i5 owner! I almost wish there was a carrying strap I can connect to it so I can sling it over my shoulder so I can have both hands free!
I started on a V10F and that led to my MSX 100v that I got last week. I don't plan on getting rid of my V10F It can't to the hills like the MSX or have the range but it is nimble light and fun. Plus I can use it to teach others. Pretty sure if I had started with the MSX 100V I would have really hurt myself. That wheel is fast and powerful and you can say you won't go that fast but it likes to go!
LOL yes be careful with that MSX, it has the potential to hit insane dangerous speed! Wear protections since a crash at 40 is very different than crash at 25!
Nice review! I'm quite interested in some kind of portable electric transportation but not sure which form factor is best (EUC, onewheel, scooter, skateboard) and you video has helped me a lot in deciding this! I also love the Honda Super Cub too so maybe this is a sign to but the v8f lol.
Someone’s been practicing his trick riding!
I need a LOT more practice too! But trick riding is actually pretty rare in the US, the French and Chinese seems way more into it
I’ve had my Inmotion for under a about 10 months and already have about 1300 miles on it. I bought it because of the price $899 from ewheels. Something that was affordable for a 57y/o. It’s a good first wheel. I’m hoping Inmotion comes out with a new faster longer range wheel before I have to change the tire, If this would have been your first wheel maybe you would have thought more highly of this wheel. Not everyone can justify Spending $2000 dollars on a first wheel
I am with you there and it was for the same reason that I bought my IPS i5! Both the V8/f are light enough to keep as a backup/ daily runaround wheel even if you end up buying a faster wheel also.
V11 pre-orders are available and include a second charger
5:14 i feel like this whenever i cant not listen to Joni Mitchell.
Nice review but I think you missed out on some of the highlights of the new wheel vs its little sister the V8. Had they come out with the V8F before I got my V10F I may have purchased it. Their bigger peddles than the V8 are a nice upgrade along with their new better grip pads.
I think it is a great intro wheel if someone is not sure if they are going to like EUCing -- hits all the upper points of ok power, ok range and good comfort at a reasonable price point compared other smaller wheels.
Cheers
Good point about the pedal! I never rode the original v8 but I can def see that a smaller pedal wouldn't work as well.
I take Metropolitan Avenue from Middle Village to Jamaica everyday home from work I can't imagine doing it in the snow yet people are crazy on that road.... if I ever spot yeah I'll give you a shout.
Ppl drive fast on Metropolitan! I don’t feel safe unless I am on my monster and can keep up with car traffic (35mph+)
Great video. I don't know anything about E vehicles. I didn't know there was such variety. As an e noob I'm enthralled as and want to know more.
Oh the rabbit holes goes deep!! I am bias, EUC has a steeper learning curve but you’ll get better performance, range and speed if you take the time to learn how to ride!
Cool vlog
Hsiang Nice review on the V8F. I’m in the market for my first wheel and I am looking for a great balance of range, speed, price, and hill climb. I was leaning towards the V8F since it sounded like a good compromise between having a few V10 features while maintaining a specific price point. This review really solidified my suspicion that I really should be looking at the V10. So instead of say $1100 for my first wheel but now $1200. But wait! A dealer has the V10 at a $100 off! So, I was willing to blow $1100 on a wheel, might as well go with the V10, which has better everything.
It would have been nice to be able to blow cash on these other super brands like the KS or GW (that’s $2000 plus right there) but I think the most bang for my cash, buck for buck will be the V10, even if it was not on sale. Thanks for confirming my thoughts with this review.
the biggest advantage to the v8f is its lighter weight, except for that, the V10 is probably a better deal.
Hsiang absolutly. But I just recently saw that the KS 18S with 850 motor is a couple hundred more than the V10. That looks I a good deal for well at $1500.
I used my v8f for 5 months 12 miles a day comute to and from work and it has been so great and fast. :P
How long does it take you to get to work? How much battery does it use? I have an 12 mile commute to work using a bike path. Thinking about using my V8S to commute to work.
Thanks for the video! Any thoughts on how much range I could realistically hope to get in normal weather at around 185 lbs?
Nice moves on that wheel.
Thank you! I still need to practice riding backward more!!
@@OWGAC looks like the iNMOTION is really good for that because its weight and balance. I've been trying it out on my 16x and it's definitely harder than I expected.
fun fact, the honda supercub is the best selling vehicle of any kind of all time world-wide.

Now I kinda regret not at least making an effort to try it when I came to the Demo meet-up. Espcially since it's the wheel I'm most interested in starting out with.
It is a pretty safe wheel to buy, not a lot of surprises so I don't think you'll regret buying it if you do
Well done. You ought to mention competitive options. You don’t have to quantify them or rate them if you haven’t experienced them, but it would be helpful to viewers and appreciated, but well done. Nice job.
There are actually very few alternatives available in the light weight lower cost euc categories. A missed opportunity really I think
@@OWGAC I feel like this class appeals to me pick up and go but with enough range to be useful. Friendly to beginners. I’m not a speed junkie, but I’m a bigger guy 6’1” 220+ lbs and I want something with enough juice to push me. I also want something I can ride to the store then carry it in a cart. With over 20 miles range. Actually I was considering an M-10 3. Not sure.
@@cbwelch4 The problem with the Mten 3 is its axle rod, its thinner than usual and bends frequently. one of the local guy has one and says the axle last about 7-800 miles and he's only 180lbs, so won't do for you. For you my recommendation would be to not go with anything with less than a 2000w motor. Maybe the V10?
I like the trolley handle from Inmotion over Kingsong because of the angle of the Kingsong handle you can not lean it on a wall. The wheel will always turn unless you block it with your feet. I find that really annoying and wish they would solve it like Inmotion. Also Inmotions push button for motor stop is much more reliable.
I am used to leaning the wheel against the wall so that the body contacts the wall directly, also for me the cutoff switch on the KS was slightly easier to use since the wheel doesn't have to come to a complete stop before the switch activate. But it's prob a matter of what you get use to.
tY for review :) btw, whats helmet Youre wearing?
nice music choice my, brother.
Thank you!!
Fantastic video and scenery. Do you have to send the EUC back after you review it or do they let you keep it?
Yes! There's usually just one demo wheel that gets pass around between all the reviewers. I am not sure who's getting it after me, maybe Marty?
Thanx from Germany!
Hi there. I really enjoy the 10 to 15 minutes of my life I spend on your videos. I'm looking to get into riding an euc. What wheel would you recommend as a first wheel? Thanks.
I think the v8f is a decent place to start, since you can still keep it as a spare in the future if you decide to upgrade. Of course you can also just jump right in and buy a full out 16x so you won't have to upgrade, the learning curve is slightly steeper with a heavier wheel but not by much . Price is the biggest obstacle I think
@@OWGAC Thanks heaps. I'm kinda leaning towards the v8 to learn the craft and then one of the bigger gotway unicycle. Cheers
I think the KingSong 16s with its 1200watts motor and 840wh battery is also a great choice for a first wheel. Not too far in price also.
I never had any significant time on one, but I have been told that the inmotion is just a bit more polished than the KS
Xiao Long Bao -- one of my faves here in the Philippines we have it at Din Tai Fung.. Hope v8F can handle someone my weight I am 280 lbs
The intro music reminded me too much of Kujirolls.....man imiss that guy...
If this wheel is anything like the INMOTION V10 then I’m pretty sure it is a great wheel. I love my INMOTION V 10. Unfortunately I have to sell it to my little brother to get the Gotway MSX. I need something faster.
OMG exact same story! Except I had to repo my v10 from deadbeat brother..... That’s what I tell the wife anyway 😏 The MSX is awesome!
@@donkeydem2824 The V10 is a gateway unicycle! lol I got a MSX next as well.
The V8 prob make a bit more sense as a learner since it is significantly lighter than any of the "serious" wheel where it might make sense to still keep it as a short distance convinience wheel
New to the EUC world. Would like to ask is king song 14 better ? I want an M10 but just don’t know enough. The m10 seems so much fun.
IMO the Inmotion product is easily the best starter wheel and possibly the best overall for far causal and last mile riders. If you go by specs the wheel will appear to be not in the top of its class but the specs don't tell the whole story. It is just a better manufactured and thought out product with the engineering details and wheel nuances.
I started with a KS18XL, then a Mten3 and then a V10F. The V10F is an overall superior platform, especially for new riders or people whose motor-coordination skills may be on the older side or less confident.
I think everyone have different priorities, for some being able to ride at 40mph makes a huge difference. But I do have to say that I have been very impressed by not just Inmotion’s design and build quality but also their customer services.
Got into euc about 7 weeks ago … I think I quit riding for a couple of weeks because I got frustrated with the lack of improvement… when I started again, it was like my improvement increased by 100% out of nowhere 😂 I’m right hand and can turn left for days but turning right is not as smooth … my friend said sometime about the left/eighth brain 😂 … anyways I got the v5f because I watched you’ll crash at least 40-times so you might as well start off with a cheap one … today I got push back, scary as hell, but I think I wanna upgrade to 8vf now … I don’t think I want to do over 20-mph … being 52 and knowing it takes a long time for my body to heal … I’ll leave the speed for the kaabo wolf king GT … guess I need to work more on my left hand turns, and learn to go backwards and maybe jump up a curb … that’ll be my goal and reward … the v8f.
I definitely find that i improve when i take a break and come back to it after a little bit, especially after a good nights sleep! my theory is that I dream about practice riding when I sleep! =)
Here first 🙌🏾😁
Afeez!
I am really wanting to get one of these I just got into the e-scooters a few months back bought a cheap one and already upgraded. Can’t convince myself to buy one of these when an e-scooter at 600 will go as fast and as far as this v8s at 1000
I really want a Gotway Monster like yours, matter fact I want the exact setup that you have. I just can't afford it right now, or any time soon. I still will keep my dream alive where I ride my wheel up and down my hood with a cape on. I just wish there was a way to get one fast, but that's reality for me. A loser that can't afford anything, and probably never will.
Start with a use wheel and work your way up, there are several ppl here in NYC that started with a cheap used euc, then do Uber eat to save up and a bunch of them just did a group buy for the monster!
YT changed metrics from meaning. i mean this for Joni 8:31. this for you Joni 8:31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Juice for Life might let you charge. Esp if you know the lyrics to Black Korea lolololololol!
For the Honda model to work you need quality, or at least, quality control. Presently this aspect has, an almost, invisible presence among the EUC manufacturers.
Would you recommend a KS 16S to a Inmotion V8f for a new rider ?
The 16s is starting to get close in weight and price to an 16x; it'll be worth saving a bit more and just get the 16x. The v8f however is still significantly cheaper and lighter so I think makes a bit more sense
Think V8F as started I'm a real heavy guy so didn't want to go too small. Other choice I was looking at 16s but V8F is cheaper & don't think I really need the longer range starting out
I'm from NY. Originally the bronx
I overpowered my V8 and it shut off on me at full speed and it put me out of work with a busted-up shoulder that they can't repair but I couldn't let go of riding so I bought the V8F. Never crashed on my monster, kingsong 18xl, M10
Yikes, v8 Isn’t a wheel you want to push!
@@OWGAC yes I found that out the hard way I just bought the V8F, then I see they have a V8S darn it. I've had the King song 18l I've Had The Monster I've had all the wheels but I like the V8 size. Is very agile and lightweight to maneuver
I *love* my MCM5 except the 14" size. I wish it were a Tesla (16") with the MCM5 eggshell shape. Can that thick V8F pad be removed? What's under it? Does removing the pads make it MCM5 shaped? I ripped the pads off my TeslaV2 but it's still boxy shaped in some degree.
I think the casing extend underneath the pads so you can't just take the pads off. Kingsong wheels generally have a thinner profile on the top however not by too long of a stretch.
Great video! What shoes 👞 are those at minute mark 7:21? 🤔 Where to buy?
Nike air Force 270 black, just got them too! I bought them at a Nike outlet store
Nice
Thank you!
What kind of black Nike shoes is that? It looks nice!
I had 2 Honda Civic and now an accord France (sedan?) and I bought a in motion v8f...
I have to make a choice between v8f and z10 to replace the c+. For me, in a small French city, the v8 will be more efficient because it's light, have a good trolley. The v8f cost twice less than a z10.
In France z10 is used to make off road riding out of cities but it's forbidden...
Do you know "monsieur flex" He's French and is making a world tour with his king song's wheel?
I do! I watch his video also and I wish I speak French so I understand it! V8f is a solid wheel, you can always look for a z10 later if you really want more speed and something more exciting!
@@OWGAC cool et moi qui essaye de mettre un commentaire en anglais :)
La z10 sera mienne un jour pour sur :)
@@yohanngallois3110 et la ms pro de chez Gotway, elle ne te tente pas ? 😉
Moi j'ai la v8 depuis longtemps mais c'est risqué de rouler vers les 30 km/h en poussant trop ou en se prenant des nids de poule car sa puissance est insuffisante et elle peut couper. Ça m'est arrivé, même si j'ai poussé fort fort sur un départ arrêté à un feu. Résultat :grosse chute sur la hanche et l'épaule. Toujours mal à l'épaule 3 mois + tard même si rien de cassé heureusement.
@@gstbad j'ai opté pour une v8f à cause de la loi de juillet et de mon utilisation essentiellement urbaine mais je regarde tous les jours le prix de la z10...
Hey, great video! Quick question. I just bought a new V8F, and when I turn it on, it makes a high-pitched scratchy sound (kinda like static+interference) that's not too loud but definitely noticeable. It stops when I press the button under the handle, and starts again when released. InMotion tells me this is normal, but it seems very strange. I would think when sitting idle, it should be silent, like an electric car or e-scooter. Was that your experience as well?
I didn’t notice it when I had the demo unit, but its very noisy here in NYC even in my home so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was there and I miss it. You can also try asking on the euc forum and see if anyone else have this same thing.
My V8f is quiet and only buzz's if the wheel picked up something but thats not what you describe. Who tells you it normal, inmotion in cal. Its a defect or it would be labeled as a feature :-). Ps. like a pedestrian warning buzzer.
I just received my V8f..it’s mostly quiet when on and sitting idle...I say mostly because I can hear a slight hum that I guess is the motor keeping itself balanced. But nothing that I would consider an issue...
@@maxwellmark Yeah I eventually got used to it over time. It was my first wheel so I wasn’t sure if that was normal.
@@alsojohnson 6 months ago, you should be pretty good by now 😎..This is my first EUC and today was my 2nd of riding. Ehh I can stay up and travel forward...no backwards stuff yet...and my turns are, well....w i d e...😂. Looking forward to less of a calve strain though. How has your V8F been for you?
I loved my Inmotion Glide 3 but the battery failed within the first 6 months and Inmotion refuses to help me. I am in California and they are in San Diego. I think pretty soon I'll show up to their office in person. Super bad customer support and unreliable wheels IMO. $900 down the drain and now I need a new wheel. Barely made it to 500 miles :(
That really sucks! I am very surprised that they wouldn't help you since that sounds like a defect the warranty should cover
Whoop!!
As regular commuter I definitely dont need more speed or heavier wheels but safety, comfort, range and Reliability. As chinese products, maintenance and warranty/customers services are awful most of the time. Thats why I left my v5f to go back riding my bicycle again which is more reliable, easier to maintain and repair, better range, safer (brake control...), no battery or range issue etc... I still have fun with my wheel from time to time but it didnt pass my daily usage testing.
for the most part EUCs are pretty reliable, comparing with some of the other EVs outhere. there're just a bit less parts that can give you problems. But of course its hard to beat a bicycle which has been perfected for a hundred year!
I dont know what do you considers as "reliable". You can litterally keep a bicycle for decades, my frame has a lifetime warranty .... Is there any euc on the market that can offer such reliability ? For the same price as a Z10 for ex, you can easily find a bike at least twice or more lighter and almost as fast on the road without any electronics or battery issue. I know euc market are still in development but I doubt they will ever reach such level of reliability than bicycles. In my experience of daily commuter euc are still a tough investment gadget.
@@MrTigidoo if you compare then compare it to something motorised like gasoline powered scooter. Euc is cheap for something motorised. On maintenance it's probably not more expensive then a scooter. Just 2 bearings. A tire, a battery and maybe a new main board. There are Airwheel x3 euc's 10 years old now and still working. I crashed one so hard hard so many times that it finally broke. A bike would have broken sooner. Opened it up, the battery had a sticker labeled year 2013!
Also you save in fuel, as electricity is cheaper.
But euc is physically unstable and more risky. There's no denying that. It's not made purely to be the cheapest nor most efficient transport.
it's also made for having a fun and a challenge.
It's still a niche market and small scale production is always more expensive.
A bike is better in many ways . Doenst need a battery. Less pollution.
I'd say people should sell euc's as soon as they don't use it anymore. That way other interested people can buy a used one instead of a new one which take new resources.
Btw, bikes need some maintenance. And in many countries it's very expensive if you can't do it yourself.
I think euc's and bikes have some overlap but can't replace each other.
If you can live without the fun of an euc then a bike is the wise option.
Hi does the inmotion v8f have tilt back pedals or only vibrating pedals?
it tilts back, pretty noticeably too, well it first tell you a loud voice "slow down!" then it tilt back, slightly embarrassing in a crowd.
@@OWGAC Lol the embarrassment is good Hsiang I rather being embarrassed than having a cut off that will ended up on me kissing the ground then that would be a lowkey🤣😂
Was that the same basketball court that tishawn shot the tesla review at?
Nope, but most school playground in NYC all look a like since they are usually all concrete out!
Hello, I live in Queens, do you sell your unicycle?
those lights can be turned off, right?
For the price point, is this the best wheel? I really want one asap but don’t know if 21 mph will be sufficient enough with the 22 mile range. I’m very interested in this model, but am unsure if there is another one better for the price?
Great video too by the way!!
I'm so confused right now. I see the V8f has 32-37 mile range on Amazon and only 22 on ewheel
👍👍
The v8f and the v10 are about the same price, about a $100 or $200 difference. Have you ever tried the v10, if so which would you say would be be a good choice, v8f or v10.
The major advantage of V8F is how light it is. V10 is signicantly heavier but if you don't care about weight, V10 is prob a better deal. BUT, if weight is no consideration then there are lots of other choices from Kingsong and Gotway that offer better range and performance than the v10
Hsiang What would you recommend in the $1100 to $1200 price range then?
I own the V8/V5F, but it's a nightmare to open these wheel and do the maintenance for a beginner. I would love for InMotion to start using simpler setup than this.
I haven't open up an inmotion wheel yet but yes I agree this is a good idea for any brand!
You are so right! Horrible to change a tire on Inmotion wheels. Putting the plastic case back on is epic...
Hmmh, to be honest. I dont get it.
Didnt we have a wheel like this since 2,5 years? its called KS16s.
It is about same price(if not cheaper nowadays), same speed - 35kmh, 21,7 mph, has speakers, Led’s, has MORE power, 2000Eatt motor, has MORE range, 840wh, has MORE safety, as it is 4parallel packs 40Amps, instead of just 2 like the V8/f, with just 20Amps, has a better trolley, a better speed reduction, as it only starts on 40-50%, and not on 80% as on the 8f.....
So i dont get this “v8 update”...its just a tiny bit better than the regular v8....but much to late nowadays!
my 2 cents
The 16s is $250 more and 12lbs heavier it isnt a bad wheel but IMHO the lighter and cheaper v8f makes more sense since the 16s is starting to get close to a 16x
Nice review. I also got one from ewheel, my first wheel, still sitting in the box. I need to learn how to ride this thing. Anyone has a good learning video please let me know. Thank you.
Check out the learning thread on the euc forum, lots of good suggestion there. But what are you waiting for, ride that wheel it'll be the most fun you'll ever have!!
@@OWGAC感谢回复。I'll go to the forum then, I ride a scooter more often. EUC takes more practice than a scooter. I am not spring chicken anymore. Keep the videos coming, I enjoy watching them.
And, depending on when you were born we were alive at the same time Soichiro Honda was, the person who stared Honda! Can't say the same for Henry Ford or the Doge Brothers for example.
Got tired just watching you climb those stairs lol
And I usually ride my monster and having to drag that 65lbs wheel up the same stairs is something else!!
How well does the v8f handle a 195 pound rider?
I am like 190 with gear, its fine. Like full speed up a bridge fine =)
ride that shit to "Juice for Life" and i may l lovest you.
This video was uploaded just about 30 days before the world went to shit over covid
Wait..what. I thought you didnt like the Z10!
You must had me mix up with some other Hsiang then! LOL
Only one question: who is that person sleeping on you?
LOL it's Kelly my very understanding wife!
Immotion have an app???
I am pretty sure they do, but the demo unit I had unfortunately wasn't able to connect to the app so I don't have any idea how well their app works.
Yep, Inmotion has an app which is good enough. It's callas inmotion scv Bluetooth. You can find it on the playstore.
Sold the free wheels to get this one lol
Its a solid EUC, enjoy and be careful!
...btw...who was the attractive older lady laying on you when you were on the train....she look mad comfortable.
This or 16s?
Get the V8S
Where in queens do your parents live?
Forest Hills.
Love your vids. Boring product this time, but enjoyable vid. 👍
Thank you! I figure I should make something that's a bit more interesting for people just looking to start with a uni!!
really enjoy youre video, learn on v8 myself but things are never being thinking is rider weight lol i am 230lbs never get more than 24km! if i knew i buy a gotway tesla for 450$ more😂 ended up with the Nikola 21700 2 months later! getting annoyed of the tilt back at 26kmh🤣
the Nikola is one of the few wheels I wished I had more time with! but by everything I had heard it is awesome, gear up as that wheel can hit some crazy speed!
I hate electric unicycles!
