The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road CZcams Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Mine fell over at walking speed on my second trip with it, on my second day, and wouldnt switch on anymore. Took me seven weeks to get my money back and have another wheel delivered. One of the longest waits of my life, with four weeks of brilliant sunshine during my yearly holiday wasted.
Saw a dude leaving the local Market at night time on one of these, it glowed in the dark.
My first thought was, holy shit, I'm old Really Old.
Yes lol
A tip: watch series at kaldroStream. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Gavin Joel Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :D
@Gavin Joel Yea, been using flixzone} for months myself :D
Inmotion app allows you to record customized sounds, so if you are unhappy with the top speed warning, just record silence and replace it with that
Forgot about that, good call!
Citi Wheel I’ll be getting one soon. Good to know about that option. It seems a lot of reviewers complain about that
It was this video that brought me tu EUC. Second january 2019 I boght a V8. Two month later a Kingsong KS18 XL wich I still ride today. Over 11.000 km, best purchase ever. I'm sad that there are no more EUC videos.
love your drone operation! And it's while your on your wheel!
Very nice review. Not too flashy and you covered the important details. Thanks!
Great review, thanks Chris.
Nice assessment, Chris! As you noticed, the weight does have an affect on acceleration and braking - this is the trade off for having a huge battery. Lots of riders end up building a fleet of wheels to use in different scenarios. For something a bit more responsive and lightweight / playful, Glide 3 still has relevance.
Fleet of wheels for each rider! Doesn't it sound good? :)
Maybe the response slider isn’t arbitrary and keeping it in the middle is why you don’t get the immediate acceleration you’re stating it doesn’t have. Speedyfeet showed how much impact those modes have.
I don’t see a V10F review in Speedyfeet videos, do you have a link?
InMotion, if I ask you for a unbiased comment (I know, odd request lol)... Do you think the Inmotion V10 is better for a skinny young adult, or the KingSong 16s? For me personally, I'd want incredibly good response time. So if I move my foot at all, the wheel would instantly respond. I know this is a rough question! I love both wheels, from the reviews I've seen. I just have to get the right one for me. And inMotion has waaaay more stores to buy from than KingSong.
Great review! Thanks for that. Just a question: when you are saying that braking performance is not great, does the fact to adjust the app slider between 2048-4096 change the behavior of the wheel and improve its reactivity and so braking performance? Phil
Very 'grown up' review. Loved it!
great video, nice camerawork
I want this as soon as possible!!!
Great review so thanks for that. How does it perform in the rain? I mean do these Unicycles get damaged when running in heavy rain or are the internals well sealed from water? Cheers
next time i try one of these, I will need to learn on grass lol. Cody's driveway was asking for a head injury!
I really like your comments. This may be the wheel for me based on your description of its characteristics. But I have never even tried a wheel. What would you think of this for a beginner? Thanks.
love ur videos 😌👌🏻
Excellent, detailed reviewed. My Christmas gift. I have a v8...love it! Inmotion? Good quality!
Nice video. What range were you able to achieve full out with this wheel? Also what is the average top cruising speed you have achieved? Thanks man.
Mine's a wobble monster. I've tried different tire pressures, tilt settings, pedal sensitivity settings, etc.
Awesome! I may get one
How did you figure out that " _you can actually pretty easily overlean this when leaning back_ " 5:08? _Did_ you actually overlean it?
I’m SO going to use the horn 👍🏼
May I ask, how loud is your V10 when standing still and powered on? I got mine today and I can hear pretty loud high pitch noise + some other buzzing sounds. I don't have such thing with my V5 and especially the high pitch sound is very anoying. The sound stops when I press motor handle button (so it is definitely not from speaker). Thanks for replying.
Thanks for a great video. Much appreciated. Im thinking of buying the last gen of this one right now. Would you recommend it now?
Great review man! I live in a big city and breaking is critical. Which wheel do you recommend for city riding?
Range if you're new to these if highly dependent upon terrain, riding style and speed. I can take my NineC+ 20+ miles no problem and it's small, but, that's @ 40% speed 80% on dedicated bike path. High speed 6-11 miles depending upon terrain. I imagine you can probably ride this one 100+ miles if time is not an issue. So in the end it's like driving a car. If you're a lead foot expect to fill up more often. If you're in the city and start/stop all the time, same as a lead foot.
Footpads large size=comfort and far less fatigue and won't land you at the Podiatrist with plantar fasciitis and in extreme pain every morning.
Safety: Always wear a helmet with chin protection, especially if you're like me and like skateboard parks in the dead of night, hopping up curbs at full speed and hot dogging. Otherwise you'll end up needing $10,000 in dental work or a wired jaw.
I want to pull up the first day back to school with one of these yo
Greet Review!
Great review bro
Chris, love that you're focusing on PTV's nowadays. I've always been a subscriber here and on WR for years. I like to think I've gotten to know you over the years through comments and viewing your content. Now if I need to get in touch with you privately, how might I go about that?
I'm not sure how deep into the PTV market you've delved but this is pretty groundbreaking with the top speed and actual range. Are you running around 50 PSI tire pressure Chris? I believe 80 PSI is optimal for maximum range, acceleration, cornering response, braking response and even collision avoidance. However 50-60 PSI will be a more comfortable ride with little in the way of range/performance sacrifice though I suggest you try 70-80 psi if braking and acceleration seems sluggish.. At a stop ALL the weight of your body and the vehicle is on a tiny area at the bottom of the wheels' tire so it flattens more than similar weight would flatten a dual wheeled vehicle. Also it's electric, needs high tire pressure to save power when moving away from a stop.
Hey Danny, feel free to hit me up on Instagram - @thetopher2 I've used this article bit.ly/2Jw2JwB as a pretty good baseline for tire pressures, and I usually go a little bit lower, since I'm a pretty lightweight rider and prefer a softer ride for stability and comfort. I'm not sure how much of a difference an increase tire pressure would make in braking. There's definitely an advantage to efficiency and ultimately acceleration, but it's something I'm willing to experiment with a bit more.
TheTopher TheTopher Ok I will be in touch with you soon, thanks!
That's a really good resource surprised their's already such an established dialogue on these things already.
I should have framed my comment differently - obviously you know how tire pressure affects the riding characteristics of electric transportation. For example, for an electric bicycle to achieve it's claimed range part of the ideal circumstances allowing for the claimed number is roughly 70-80psi tire pressure. That is with twice as much tire in contact with the ground as an electric unicycle, and for the bike the weight being roughly even in its' dispersion. These e bikes often have either no suspension or some sort of fork lockout feature allowing for improved forward momentum retention and therefore improved range. At the expense of what little rider comfort it provides when engaged. Now for an electric monowheel/unicycle there is only 1 contact patch on a relatively skinny tire where all of your 165 pounds (I weigh the same and require low-ish pressure to have any comfort as well) plus the 42 pounds the machine weighs is pressuring. My logic was this: higher tire pressure = less deformation of the tire = improved response to rider input = better braking performance. With deformation in the tire due to lower pressure creating a longer wider contact patch, being worsened further over broken pavement there should be a 'dead zone' where you have to lean further perhaps beyond your comfort zone to engage full braking power. Full braking power should also worsen that feeling of imbalance when leaning in a precarious position to stop due to G-force sending you forward. I don't agree with the person who claims 35 PSI for 175 pounds is at all optimal but I mean whatever works is what's truly optimal/ideal for the rider.
I ride a Goped sport hard tire 2 stroke scooter around broken pavement and if I could improve ride quality I probably would too, instead I have to bend my knees to help reduce impact. Anyway, I'm really happy to see these videos you're doing the world a favor by reviewing products like this. Awesome, I'll be in touch soon thanks Chris!
Such a good idea to be driving this while flying a drone to record yourself [for the sake of this video].
What are your thoughts about leaving it outside with a bike lock
Looking at all EUCs, I am surprised that none of them seem to integrate any security features, i.e. key, a hasp for cable lock. I'd like to be able to lock it somewhere rather than wheel it around a store. Thoughts?
Just got my V10 and notice when I initially turn it on, it wants to crawl - move forward for a few seconds. Is this normal? Do I need to do something? Should I adjust the pedal sensitivity with my being in the learning phase? PLMK ASAP. Thank you for your video and your time.
When are they coming out with the Hellcat version?
Lol.
Lol
Crazy to think that after just a couple charges of the EUC, it's already at a 100 miles. My e-skate would require 10+ charges to accomplish the same distance.
I really want a wheel now after watching this!! - my biggest issue is I will be taking it on public transport (buses/trains) and up/down multiple flights of stairs so I need something a bit lighter. What would your favourite wheel be that weighs under 14kg but can still go at least 25km/hr comfortably?
now I want it
How were they able to fit a V10 in that thing? Woah, pretty sweet you can ride it on that dirt trail.
Brett lol wow best comment
Have you tried this with the 2.27 firmware? How's the acceleration and braking lately?
"Some negative feedback for the last few weeks on the handle?" NO, the wobble in the handle is there for years since the V5 optional handle, which lock mechanism I suspect V10 simply reuses as is. It is annoying, it feels cheap it has no excuse whatsoever and it does not belong on the expensive flag-ship model as V10F was supposed to be.
It wasn't made loose to be easy to put up and down, it's just bad design and manufacturing tolerance.
It's like saying that car doors wobble on hinges, but it's just to open and close more easily, or bike front wheel wobbles, but it turns easily. That's just bad design.
Buena Review pero hubiera estado bien que subiera los adoquines que tenías cerca de donde andabas para comprobar la fuerza de subida. A ver si tengo pronto la mía y hago una review en castellano.
I was just commenting on the V3 that the issue is always weight for me. I’m a big guy. Even at 10% body fat I’m hovering around 220-225. This seems to have a bigger weight max. I’m still curious how much range that shaved off too. I guess I’d have to email them. I’ve been back and forth between this and a longboard electric. I like the compact size over a board though.
Edit - From reading more comments, the KingSong may be the option for me, out of weighing less. So the following text is an optional read.
How often did you have to change your tire? I have an electric scooter and i have to always change it. I’ve changed it about 10 times within 6 months because it keeps getting flat
I have a ninebot s1 a1. How would this compare to that? I hate having a 12mph limit
So what camera is it , the one on your helmet please？
so if you set your sensitivity to high, you will start and stop a lot faster right!?!?!
Is this good for begginers? Can Im start my adventure with this or you not reccomended ??
Is this suitable for sidewalks but also on hard packed dirt off road type stuff with small rocks?
I have the dual wheel Inmotion V3S but goddamn the maintenance is the most annoying part because I have to ship it all the way back to Florida from NY and its $60 to ship whenever anything breaks and I did have some problems with it that had to be fixed,but its fun to ride nonetheless though.
Sorry another question: you mentionned redundancy and said 'when one board fails the other kick in...'. I was under the impression that there is only one physical board on the V10F. InMotion communication is not very clear on that in the way some charts shows 2 different CPU when others speaks about a single, dual core CPU, which is of course not the same since dual core CPU do not offer any redundancy! They are also quiet old fashion compare to today multiple core CPUs. So to make it short, do you happen to know if the V10 is equiped with two CPUs or only with one dual core CPU? Thanks
Ok, correction on the redundancy from Inmotion: “There is indeed a dual core cpu, but not two mainboards. The dual core cpu offers some redundancy on system events and is optimized for cranking through real-time data that helps with the safety warning system and live data that you see in the app, but it's not really redundancy for parts failure etc. No EUC does that (yet).”
Thanks for the feedback! Phil
Your "redundancy and a lot of safety" remark is misleading and based on wrong assumption of controller redundancy.
The summary of the review sounded to me like "the wheel is okay, but the safety features are really great". But are they? What are these safety features?
In cabin noise is a little high, but looks nice for what it is.
Your buddy is in Minneapolis? I am looking for EUC rider in MN. Can you connect me with him.
We were promised hoverboards, but this is cool too, so I'll take it
Great report, would u recommend this wheel to a nube, that is light on my feet?, good snow skier good coordination.
You look too old and you have to be cool to have one of these.
Try getting a Vespa Chow
@@MrCountrycuz woah it’s great he’s thinking of doing these of course he can do it
Hello. I just started driving my device. I learned a little bit, but when I go 15 km, it suddenly shakes and wobbles. is this normal ? Is it because I'm a beginner?
Which wheel has good brake performance for the city?
my Inmotion V10 won’t charge pass 90% voltage is at 82. Have any idea what’s happening?
I want one now
This wheel is fantastic.Watch my modification with a seat!
How does it work on hills?
Hi! I’m planning to buy a EUC to go 12 km to my school. Would you recommend this one or a kingsong 16 s? TIA!
did you get kingsong or inmotion?
Great video, thank you. I'm curious, what brand is your "gloves"? Best
Link in the description for the wrist guards, thanks!
Thanks!
how would you compare joy of riding/carving to onewheel? what happens when power dies?
They are both a joy to ride and roughly even in terms of fun factor. Carving is more fun on a Onewheel but EUCs are more comfortable to ride due to the larger wheels and you get the thrill of more speed on the EUC. An EUC such as the Gotway Tesla is overall a better package and cost less than the OW+XR. As the battery goes down, the EUC will start slowing and will reach the point where it's going going a few miles per hour so even if the power died, you'd be able to step off of it without falling. That's the normal case. If for some reason it was defective, you'd be thrown into the ground similar to a OW nosedive but you have a better chance running it off because you aren't standing sideways (assuming you aren't going faster than 15mph). I've got hundreds of miles on both EUC and OW+XR. These days I tend to favor the EUC because of convenience factors.
They sure outperform rollerblades. If only I can afford one
Peace be upon you from jordan ☝️☝️☝️

If you're curious about headlight brightness, here's the link to the night riding video: czcams.com/video/ThGYeIPyGvA/video.html
I have question about how long your tire lasts? When you get flat tire, how would you fix it and how to find better tube than available from the seller ? These are issues that electric unicycle products pay less attention to and gets flat easily.
Today I was riding my INMOTION v10F and when I went high speed I got the wobbles like CRAZY do you happen to know any tips to not have wobbles at high speeds
try taking out some tire pressure and see if that helps stability at speed
What about snow and ice? Does it have good traction on those road conditions?
unicycle on ice... there's no traction control to fix that
There’s a guy in Hong Kong who says the V10 is unrideable. He has a 14” wheel. He says it’s too heavy and can’t be turned because it falls over! The problem is he’s trying to legislate, based on this erroneous view, so that 16” wheels and above get banned. I’ve told him that he hasn’t spent enough time riding but his view is that I can ride the V10 because I’m 6’5” tall and he can’t because he’s short and light!!! Could you tell me how tall you are please? I have to debunk his ideas otherwise we’ll get banned. I need some non-tall-person rider evidence!!!
Yeah you sneakerhead need this
is it possible to put tire sealant to protect from punctured?
In theory. In practice even in the MTB it almost never do the job. I Avoid "milk", it's a mess.
The V5F after climbing for 3 miles and steep hill will alert you to get off and will need to power off and cool for a few minutes. Will this not happen anymore with the V10? I really would like so. I have ordered one V10. And I need to ride this hill next to my home. So this is a big issue to me.
Acácio Bernardo i guess the best way to get up the hill is to drive ur car up' the hill. I have also preordered my inmotion v10f at a cost of £1700 in the UK.
Kwaku Adjei So , you think the V10 will have the same heating problem? I am still a bit on the hoping side...
Acácio Bernardo i was only being sarcastic with my first comment. I think the v10f should be fine. For some reason i'm thinking of changing my preorder and going for Kingsong 18l. I'm not very happy with the news regarding the breaking and acceleration power of the inmotion v10f. Well, would wait and see.
Kwaku Adjei ohhhh that's a relief.. I really need the wheel to handle the path to my home :)
would this be a good unit for a new rider? 220lbs
Up to around 100kg is fine
No more EUC videos??
Have you had any over heating issues with the V10f?
We’ve hit some pretty steep grass hills and no problems yet, only gotten the cooling fan to come on once.
TheTopher here in Austin Texas, I’ve over powered it twice on hills (Overload please get off) - 2093W, and over heated it once as well one a 100 degree day. In all 3 cases the main board showed over 131 degrees to has high as 137.
Can you fit this in a backpack??
How much is it?
Are these dangerous? I recently tried going full speed on a regular $300 hoverboard and stopping from full speed is very sketchy. Man the thing wants to steer left and right and sway around before slowing down. I had to jump off the first time cause I felt like I'll bang my head into asphalt soon :D
They pull back when you reach full speed to avoid going over the limitations of the wheel. Also they are very stable at higher speeds especially compared to a hoverboard. More maneuverability too.
Je déconseille fortement la marque Inmotion
This is official inventist licensed?
Nice helmet, but I wonder why is that expensive 230$ though?
what happens if you get a flat tire?
mentuemhet im oretty sure its a rubber tire
My v8/glide 3 has a tube and in order to replace it when you get a flat you pretty much have to disassemble the wheel to access it. A little tricky and time consuming but once you get the hang of it it's no big deal. I'm sure the v10 is similar
Your video really helped me even being 4 years old (the braking video also contributed to my decision). I was trying to decide between the King Song KS14D, InMotion V8S (currently on sale), or the V10F. I'm just using it to "play" outside so I don't need the cruis-ability of the V10F. Now I just need to decide between the KS14D and the V8S. It'll probably be the V8S for the range. As I understand it, when you deplete the battery to around 50%, King Song and Inmotion start to throttle back the speed so ideally I'd like majority of my ride to be completed in the first 50% of the battery. Can you confirm if my understanding is true?
супер
You still ride EUC?
Nonetheless amazing machine
I want oneeee
So KS16s or V10F?
I stay in a city but lots of mixed terrain. KS16b handles it all quite well, but yeah do you have a comparative opinion on a KS16s to the V10f?
Would love to get my hands on a KS16s to compare, but have only ridden the KS14d. If we ever get ahold of one, that'd make an awesome comparison
Which one is the best Ninebot ,Inmotion or Kingsong?
The one you’re riding
What website did you order this from? I need answers now!!!
boom: www.euco.us?ref=10
Man I was hoping it would have a Dodge Viper engine lol
How has it held up after some serious time has past?
So far so good, no issues. But I haven’t put a ton of miles on it since I got the MSX
2:04
LOL 😆
😍😍😍😍😍I want
How do you play music on the wheel?
You have to connect to second Bluetooth- unicycle music or sth like that, and just use it like a speaker.
@@kurtXhecticXpl thanks I figured it out. My phone was just giving a hard time with the initial pairing
What I don’t like about it is that it has a 2,000 w motor and they limit the speed to 25 mph. All the other other wheels with 1,900 w can go at least 31+ mph. The INMOTION V10 is sluggish even with a 2,000 w motor. The other wheels are not sluggish. The INMOTION V10 is a intermediate over priced wheel. Kingsong and Gotways are a better way to go. If I’m riding the INMOTION doing 25 mph I’m riding at 100% of the wheel while 25 mph is about 75% of the wheel which is safe to me.
CC Chodkowski Yeah that’s why I held off on purchasing this wheel, at-least at that price. I just couldn’t get myself to purchase it. Like you said such a huge motor but such low MPH. It just doesn’t make sense. I imagine it will start throttling at possibly 16-18mph? That’s crazy if true. I want to buy it because of the design but the low specs compared to comparable wheels makes feel Inmotion was just trying to keep up with the market. If they could manage 30+ mph with their next wheel for the same price that would make sense, but I feel they might still be playing catch up.
U-Stride, your videos of you on your Gotway 1020 is impressive. You prove all the points on your Gotway, 1) Gotway doesn’t throttle down when the battery goes below 50%. 2) your wheel attained a 32.8 mph. 3) 30 mile range. You kept right up with The Gotway MSuper X and the kingsong 18s on the New York ride. You have the experience and knowledge and your videos prove your points on the Gotway 1020. I’m waiting for e-wheels to get them back in stock. Thank you
CC Chodkowski yes sir, that’s exactly what I expected in reviews before purchasing wheels since I know I can’t return them. When looking at the V10F I don’t think It would be able to meet the same or close to the Tesla’s specs. But who knows, maybe. I would really like to try it out but not for that price lol. I might just end up getting it to put it through my tests. I don’t know. What do you think ? Also I see you’re paying real close attention to reviews. Are you planning on getting a new wheel?
U-Stride, I don’t think that’s worth a test. A test I would like to see you do is on the Gotway MSuper X. Your aggressive style with that aggressive wheel would be a great review. I would like to see your hill climb between your Tesla and the MSUPER X. You aren’t afraid to find the top speed of a wheel. That would be a review.
I learned so much watching your videos. You give an actual review. Your videos are right up there with Marty Bache and Duff. You also give a complete review. Very well put together videos. Thanks
What if you stay in crouching mode tho🤔😅
