- Pre-Order link below! InMotion V8 has been one of the most popular electric unicycles ever due to it's full set of features and design in that sweet sub-$1K price point, and after a couple years, they've decided to give it an upgrade. We got our hands on a brand new pre-production V8F from InMotion, and we'll take you for a spin and give you some perspective on their latest release.
V8F specs are to be determined since the product is still in final development, but we will be able to release them soon.
Want one? You can reserve your InMotion V8F now by pre-ordering at EUCO: www.euco.us/in...
EUCO is based in San Diego, CA will a staff of experienced riders, support team, and repair techs to take care of you in-house. Hit us up for your next ride!
That’s dope that they upgraded such an universally established wheel in the community, now newer riders can join in with more options and quality
It's really nice to hear a petite female's perspective. The forums about EUCs tend to lean in favor of heavy, fast wheels from predominantly male riders. As a small female rider myself, I'm not sure that what's great for them would work for me although yes, I know some women ride heavier, larger wheels also.
The near identical looks means I can swap out my old v8 and not have my wife notice I spent money on yet another wheel. Hooray! My two main gripes with the V8 were the small pedals and the relatively low top speed. I hope they will let it hit at least 24mph this time.
I cannot reach 24 mph (39 kph) even on V10F. Even at full battery it raises pedals at 38 kph.
I doubt V8F will go near as fast.
Top speed is announced as 35 kmph, but in reality I guess it will be like 32-34 kmph (20-21 mph)
@@Ubeogesh That's interesting. What is your weight? Is that a factor possibly?
@@flhandster4395 my weight is 90 kg. Actually I noticed that I can reach 40. It was just me looking at the speed in EUC World. It shows a few km\h less than inmotion app. But anyhow getting V10F to 40 is not easy.
Ubeogesh At your weight, would you have considered the V10F?
The V8 has been the wheel I've been most eyeing for the longest time so it's nice to see this upgrade show up while I'm still saving for one.
Good idea - We feel that this is now the best starter wheel if you want to stick with one without upgrading so quickly
I know right, too bad it's more expensive.
@@calebsherman886 actualy at this moment the pre-order for the V8f on the inmotion website seems to be the same price Ewheels has the V8 priced at. Even if it jumps up. Hundred bucks after the pre-order that'd still be a decent price at around a grand. And the V8 is still a decent wheel (if the extra money is an issue).
btw 12:30 i DO AGREE .. some people wants 100% innotvation while i see it positive that a good model like V8 can be upgraded but not distorted !! nice video guys , thank you !
Thank you. I think V8f is going to be a winner!
Mine arrived yesterday and its a great up grade but I'm going to need more practice before i leave my street. I just cant get through the registration process.
It's just amazing! I bought it 3 weeks ago and it is my first wheel. Love it ! (Hi from Paris ! :)
I am still waiting to try this!! And I can't believe I haven't seem you guys till this video!
I think you'll like it! It's so fun to have more power in that little frame. We are the team behind InMotion USA for the past few years, and now that we are working with other brands as well, we have launched a new website (EUCO) to represent them all and put a spotlight on the community etc. :)
That's awesome guys. Great video great wheel
How about a long sleeve EUCO.US t-shirt. It's getting cold out here on the east coast. :)
Good idea!
I just ordered my first euc and after looking around... I have had KS16X, 18XL, InMotion V10F, etc in my cart and I’ve settled on the V8F. Thanks for the amazing content you put out! Love seeing Rose’s perspective as well.
Welp, it's now August 2022 and I'm thinking this is the one for me. The other ones I'm looking at are double the speed, double the weight, and double the price!
I bought one after this video from you. I’m about ready for a v11, hopefully before my 75th birthday nexT year. Big fun.
Hells yeah! The v11 will be a great upgrade 🤙
I like the small incremental upgrades to an existing excellent design, I'm actually really glad they didn't change too much. I love my Solowheel Glide3/V8 but the upgraded power of this new version is a welcome addition for sure.
I agree the V8F Reminds me of Chevy 350. Awesome video guys keep up the good work
I wanna do a little dance on a V8F. Looks like a badass little successor!
Next time I'm able to get up to LA! -J
Will there be a review of the new V8S?
I just ordered the V8 and waiting for shipping. Still looking forward to see what more improvement they can do to the V8f.
Great info!
Looking to purchase my first wheel and it looks more and more like it’ll be the V8F 😎
I learning on my friends V5 now and only a few hours into it. Lovin it!
Vache Manoukian V8F would be a solid choice especially for your first wheel 👍🏻
EUCO Electric Unicycle Collective AWESOME! Thank you
Good stuff team. Would love if you sell a backpack for the wheel.
I bought that from you guys. Even though its AWD IT is pretty slippery in snow, :"). I ride it all the time, I'm old so walking is good for me but this wheel is Fun for me.
How does it handle for bigger people like my self as 95kgs (209lb) that's one thing that worries me about v8 may not have enough power. I also live in a hilly city..
That's a great question and one that I'm curious about as well. No reply yet? :)
That lady is staring like a statue for about 3 minutes lol.
Hi. Thanks for nice comments and opinion about V8F. What is the model just next to V8F on the end of video? I do not mention about V10F.
Great informative, comparative video with the V10 series. Any updates on the Tiltback issues mentioned in the video? Looks like the V8F will be a great choice for many wheelers. ***Any updates on the fulfillment date for the V8F?*** Thank you in advance for your time and replies.
The height between the bottom of the tire and the beginning of the shell looks bigger than the V8. Is it really, and if so does it affect the ability to go up the curbs or through holes?
Looks like an excellent upgrade. 👍
Good
Great review both of you - I would get it for my wife but sadly cant convince her to learn.
Cheers
My question is does the v8F have Bluetooth speakers 4 music
No it does not. Same as v8
@@WensWorld Bummer. I wonder why that wasn't integrated. Ugh!
But you get pretty lights... Which I would turn off during the day...
Whoop!!
Hi, can you reference how much degree of pedall calibration angle for V8 ? right now i use +4 degrees tily forwrd
So, how is the wheel running so far, any issues ? I was thinking of ordering from aliexpress.
How much will the v8f cost when it comes out,will it be more than the pre order cost?
One last thing do you guys think it will be out before Christmas?
Will this be shipping in time for Christmas?
I don't like reporting on prototype calibration turning. I'm so close to buying v8f. Maybe ill check your site.
Hi, I have dreamed for over years to own an EUC. So know I finally decided to buy my first EUC and ordered a inmotion V8. The price different between a V8 and V8F is 250€ and for my a bot too much to upgrade for a First EUC. I am 41y, 75kg, 1m80 or 5,9ft
I have a Xiaomi m365 and take it with me when I travel with my camper. I needed a second vehicle and it was another electric step or an EUC.
Pure of the design I would choose a Ninebot Z16/Z10. First learn how to walk before to run was the filosophy.
You guys think a V8 is a good choice? Or even for a beginner upgrade to a V8F immediately?
Best regards
Wim
I put 45psi air pressure to ride the king song, but it's hard to ride. Is it Korean? 16s
That tilt back is a bummer. The v10 series does the same thing, so while I hope they do fix it, I'm skeptical they will. If that's fixed I'll buy one for sure.
This behavior that we experienced was just a pre-release bug - it should perform much better once they tweak the safety tilt back to be less aggressive.
@@EUCOllective I really hope so. I hope they fix that on the v10 too then. Tbh I suspect they just put a v10 controller in the v8.
Does the v8f have speaker for music?
Tnx
How come the selfie stick is invisible
How much will it be?
Bush Master $1099 - pre order link is in the description
Do you use 360 one x to record？
Love ❤ for Rose
“Sweet sub 1000 price point” checks website - pre order 1099... New sub though thanks for making a great video
And originally it was said the "same price point" ($899)
Charge time?
Thanks for your videos! A question, if I may. I recently bought a V8F as my first EUC. When the wheel is powered on (not in transportation mode), it makes a high-pitched scratchy noise, not very loud but enough to be a bit annoying. It stops when I press the kill-motor button under the handle and starts again when I release. InMotion says this is normal. Is that your experience? I figured it should be silent when not moving, like an electric car or e-scooter. Are other brands of wheels this way? Thanks!
I wonder if you found the problem with the wheel. I find that if the wheel is stopped in place by some thing and you lean the housing one way or the other the motor is actually trying to move everything but if you center the motor back over the wheel where it supposed to be when it stopped it surprisingly shuts off the motor. If I’m wrong that’s OK I just thought I give a shout out seems nobody else did. I have a V-8 F and just installed a snow tire.
@@4406bbldb Thanks for the shout out! I actually don't have the V8F anymore; upgraded to a KS-16X.
Hi I brought a V8, is this one of the best wheel to start learning on? (UK), also I brought a cover for it as well.👍🏾🇬🇧
Good question! The V8 is a great beginner wheel, as it offers a good set of features for its relatively lower price compared to some of the more enthusiast-grade wheels. However, any wheel can be used to learn how to ride! Some riders may prefer the maneuverability of smaller wheels when first starting out, while some may prefer the stability of larger wheels.
@@EUCOllective thanks for that since then I have brought KingSong 16x. I lowered the psi to 25. Now I can ride it, and do large to medium turns, every week I increase the psi by 2.👍🏾🇬🇧
Top speed?
35kph
Range ?
Lee4er mod?

Thanks and tumbs up :) click to spec down here :) I try answer now all questions in you head.Own personaly V10F if you are 90Kg + rider or you want trail and hills climb you definetly need something like motor 2000w 900Wh+ battery. Inmotion have superior assembly quality after i watch many dissasemble videos almost all product on market. I select personaly inmotion i know here is faster and stronger EUC. But i prefer safety and assembly quality.I no want faceplant in 50kmh and crash hard because some mosfet burn and reson is worker use hotglue on heatsink to make his shift easy or bad QC i dont know(this hapend on "anonymous" gotway wheel and price is 2000+ dolars.I no want be tester i want safety and quality over speed/power. V8F be amazing upgrade to city transport and medium trips for everyone included 120Kg people.In EUC market is gold rule always buy fresh pieces with actual firmware revisons because EUC is improved in time exapmle V10F after 5/19 QC pass have newer mainboard and many internal improvments what older pieces dont have.
Battery and some ("unoficial")numbers can be changed in future hardware revisions.

Thank God for this comment
Comparing the V8F to the KS-16s, which do you think is more suitable for a 95kg rider? The V8F power ranges from 1000-2000w.
@@cephas5902 I own a V8, and drove it about 3500 km in half a year. It's super practical as hell, light weight and super fun to drive. But ,,only,, 30 kmh is just... A little bit to slow for me, especially because I have no car. And the biggest reason is the battery. In Winter, I can't drive anywhere because the range is about 15 km(German winter is sometimes -7°). In Sommer it's ok, but like... Not enough. For comparison: the 16x has about 3-4 times the battery size. Wich has a lot of other benefits like battery life is improved, faster charging and so on.
And in my opinion, the 16x looks better.
It's your decision, 1000€ for the V8 or 1600€ for the 16x.
PS, my weight is about 80-85, and I'm about 1,95 tall, so I have quite some air drag while driving around. The 16x has about 2400 watt I think
@@cephas5902 Both weels are great for 95kg rider for public transportation dont wory at all.KS is 3 year old(solid) model V8F(V8 is realy solid too) is new nobody know how is overload and overheat limits set conservative or more safe maybe aggresive style wheel behavior.Time show the truth.
If you dont care about "size and weight wheel" i recomend you save some money and buy 2Kw+ wheel because practicaly you have no limits where and how you ride. I own V10F and i realy nerver want ride anything weaker.Power is safety more range always better i use this setting on my wheel 40kmh limit and footboard sensitivity 100% and 40 Psi whell is realy agile instantly react to my body movement i can very fast emergency brake etc. I ride around 20 Kmh im not speed demon just enjoy my glide and i belive my whell to 100% if any problem bump hole curp hit me whell have big power reserves to always save me and keep pedal flat safety is my number one. And dont forget always use you safety gear like me.
It is possoble upgrade my v8 to v8f?
That’s my plan. I have low miles on my V8.
Do you mean trade-in???
U looks like Tony Hawk Pro Skater lol
OK WAIT 2:31 who is still focused on the v8f? she is so cute ehehe ;) ... ok end of offtopic :-P
Do you think 990€ is a good Price for this one ( pre order )
You could really get 30 miles on one of those wheels???
the problem of tilt back on hill ( czcams.com/video/b3UM8gJk6Oc/video.html ) is the same one years later ...
Y'all should wear wrist and elbow guards at the very least. You will be thankful for it when you faceplant on the pavement. Full face helmet is also nice cuz it'll help you keep your teeth.
