There has been an arms race between the electric unicycle manufacturers to create the fastest and largest EUC. However, the brand new MTen Mini is the smallest EUC we have ever reviewed on the channel.
The MTen Mini is designed to be ultra-portable but its tiny package still has some flaws.
In this video, we unbox, set up, provide a detailed walkthrough, and share what we love and hate about the Begode MTen Mini

Congratz on 200k subs. I still remember this channel was only 2-3k subs started with an used Onewheel to a Kingsong 16S. This is also why I got my Gotway MCM5 14".
Another banger review video.
From a learner's perspective, I have an MTEN4 (45 Km). It's the only EUC I've ever ridden. It's been a bit difficult to learn. But not too much harder than the Onewheel.
For saving my shins I put 2 layers of that baby bumper padding stuff along the top. Works great.
200K subscribers!
Yeah!! We did it!
@@freshlycharged congrats!!!
Thanks Jimmy and Andrew! Bigger wheels are much easier to learn on within reason. I wouldn't go ET Max size but the Inmotion V8 or V10 are ideal. I have watched a lot of actual training sessions done by seasoned riders who have trained many people and they never use the mini wheels (i.e. MTen3, etc.). I have also seen people who learned on an MTen3 or MTen4 have a hard time with bigger wheels while I rarely see anyone that can ride a big wheel have problems on the MTen3. I also own an MTen3 and was happy I learned on a bigger wheel (Kingsong 14D). The lack of leverage because you can't use more of your lower leg and the need to kinda hop unto the wheel doesn't really translate well to the bigger wheels.
Great points!
I suppose this would be a of some help to a college kid who lived on campus. barely faster than walking tho and you'd have to be charging during class or hope if you have back-to-back classes that they are proximal. Now an Mten3 or 4 seem ideal for this purpose. I see the mini as being a novelty or perhaps the definition of a "last mile" wheel.
Its speeds are double that of the average walking speed of a person, and I think the 5-mile range would cover the mass majority of students' day for classes without concerns around charging.
@@EssPhour maybe. prolly true if it is a small school. @180wh you can expect 5 miles of range, with 50-60% of that being at top speed. I lived on campus at a large uni. I had classes 2-3 miles from my dorm, and then what if I had another class right after that was on the side of campus??? nah just to be practical for college you want at least Mten4 range
Over the years of watching EUC footage. I've always felt like the less raw power the better it was for a beginner. Not having to worry about the machine going wildly out of control, and having a much lower height to risk falling from means lower stress for a newbie. Of course it also makes it good for trying the more skilled efforts like riding backwards or some of the other "stunts" people do that don't involve going 50 mph.
I agree. But a little more juice would make this so much better… if I could hit 16-18 mph on this, I’d love it!
idk, it's pretty hard to accidentally take off full send, and I've seen people riding backwards at a pretty fast pace... I think the most important thing is weight distribution. I know it is less common with newer EUC, however, some of the older models had more battery on one side than the other making it a bit more difficult to balance.
I learned on my inmotion v11 after ive put 2000km on it, crashed a few times broke a few things on it and fixed it I just started uploading my first yt short a couple minutes ago
4:12 Such a cute shot... Well done
Good! more affordable wheels for the newbies, not everybody hardcore in this hobby/sport :D
this was soooo much easier to learn on than some heavy huge wheel
I love mine, I also have the mTen3, they're same but very different, primarily because of the wide tire/rim combo on the Mini, it could use a few more mph and range like the 3 but I ride mine almost daily for a quick fix around the driveway and even my yard, it's great in grass. I had no issue with connectivity and saving settings. Oh, I put 3 layers of that padding stuff where the wheel meets your shin, it's much more comfy.
Thank you for sharing, I do recommend you to try IPS i5
I was thinking to get it for my 8 year old girl. She learned on Mten 4 I borrowed from a friend in two hours 😅.
i would definitely not recommend such a small wheel to learn on... well.. learning more advanced things perhaps, but it's tiny size prevents standard mounting. i learned how to hop on the mten mini and i'm still not that consistent on it. very much a "trust hop" as Jimmy mentioned. the mten mini is really something to just mess around on.
They need to just bring back the mten3. It was the tiniest most portable and capable wheel of its time and it still is. The mten4 might also be pretty capable but it's a lot bulkier. You could slip a mten3 into a relatively small backpack but you can't with the mten4 or even this thing
Cant wait for an updated Mten4 (Mten5?) With the same motor and chassis, but paired to a 84-100v pack.
It would be nice if Begode were to enable us to remove the 16kmh tiltback. I managed to get up to 21kmh on mine, but had to fight the tiltback!
Awesome little wheel 🛞it will be perfect for my kid but I agreed with Jimmy I'll take the mten4 instead of it's just too mini😅 in my opinion but for the little ones be a blast
It’s a durable little guy!
*Tiny POWAH!*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
Part of the problem with removing the first foot from a pedal is the teeter-totter affect. Subconsciously when we lift a foot we are not expecting the surface to rise up and maintain contact with that foot.
I also posted a video about it... its just too small. I commend begode for making these wheels that test boundaries! But there is a "too small " which we have now learned haha. My son is still learning on it though! (5 years old) and it might be fine for him
It will be harder on the smaller tire. The newer ones with larger tires you can sit or almost sit. That lowers the center of gravity and wind resistance. I learned on a King Song S 22 Pro and it is perfect size tire and allow me to sit so I can hit 30 MPH and above and have control.
No one does a going up a hill test with these, looks cool though
dig a channel out on the inside of the pad and tuck the motor cable into the channel the pad will fit flush then. peace. fun lil wheel
What clothing brand is that blue jacket on the new guy?
when do it sell on amazon and offerup website
NICE
The price and size is great for teens to mess around on and a adult to just run away from doing the dishes, the range sucks but that's sound about right for the price a solid 8-10 miles would had been amazing.
Thanks guys! So, Mten Mini or Mten4?
We prefer the Mten4!
@@freshlycharged Thanks for the reply. Love watching your videos.
What about the Kingsong S9? Poor little basketball
🏀 😬
Ya'll need to do a giveaway to clean up that garage of overflowing loot.
Get the begode falcon please 🙏
what is SOL Jimmy?
Maybe the pads not being attached in shipping is to preserve the adhesive if the box gets stored somewhere hot. No clue, honestly, just spitballin.
Honestly cant help but thinik you need two of these and ride them like boots O.o
hey the E-broder's, i liked your video soo much! i was wondering if you guys can do a test review the krsiroah gt3, (its an amazon high powered scooter from amazon with 60v 30 amp, 50 mph and 60 miles range)
thank you :)
I learned to ride on an mten4 I didnt have that much issue with
Thanks for sharing!
it is harder to learn on small wheels, I would recommend something taller.
What do you recommend?
@@freshlycharged a 16 inch wheel under 70 pounds like the V11, V12 or 16S
I learned alot on my old airwheel.
I got to level 10 being full speed, wobbles over come, on tilt back.
If I had started on a bigger wheel I would have no experience of level 7 wobbles and if I fell it would be maybe 50kph rather than 15.
I'm pleased I started small and got to level 10 at 15kph.
@@WillofNewZealand level 10?
@@greenwave819 level 10 is made up, it means to reach limit of wheel, past wobbles, at tilt back.
On a small wheel that under 20kph maybe. On a bigger wheel you won't even hit wobbles until your going way faster is an opinion. Wobbles can cause a inexperienced rider to fall.
Ask yourself do you want to risk learning that and maybe falling at 75kph.
Or at 15kph?
I'm pleased I learned on a smaller wheel.
Just an opinion.
Can't watch since i dont use us units and have no clue how heavy or how fast it goes. Plaece somewhere translations in to future videos
Will do!
Speed divide by 1,61 weight divide by roughly 2,2
just use us units, they are better
They make one that looks like a basketball thats smaller
But WILL IT BLEND
yeah, you could do some mods on this thing to where it would power a blender
My segway drift w1 is smaller
Yeah small wheels are twitchy, not the best for learning IMO. They are fantastic for carrying on public transportation to solve last mile issues.
27 lbs... isn't it heavier then 14D? And 14D is a serious commutter helper, not a toy, like this weelie
I loved my mten3 and 4, but i finally sold them. Theyr are great, but really just to mess around the house. I didn't use them even to go to the store on the corner of my street!
So it makes them useless
As for the mini, why not get a v8? More battery, lighter and way more usefull to travel
The mten series are a good bad idea
still 500 on mini same price big 1
So, the OLDER model M10 is smaller, lighter, more attractive, more comfortable on the shins, and much more range?
Got it 🙄
it is taller, thinner, and you can't buy them unless you find one that is used. Also, the M10 3 is compared to the 4, the mini is for kids
def harder to learn on a tiny wheel. i tried with my gf and it was harder: and even tor me it was weird
im not a fan of the small thick wheels. I want a modern ips i5 something small narrow and light.
How does this compare to a hover board i tried one ans Ate 💩😂
Your are so "professional"...begode have app. You can instal update from the app to mten mini and have more max speed...
Basically my current tire on my Ninebot G30 😂
That MTen Mini should cost no more than $200 MAX.
10 MPH and 5 miles range is not worth $500.
EUCs in general are way over priced. None should cost more than $2500 MAX.
Same way OneWheel is over priced compared to EUC and Scooters based on Specs, so is EUCs over priced compared to Motor Scooters
They made by cheap Chinese Companies/brands
The best EUC have the specs of a 125CC Scooter (60 mph) (125cc Scooter cost between $600-2K, Chinese brands on the lower price range)
Have to buy ton of after market things to add to the wheels for them to function
And we the Crash Test Dummies...Many things go wrong with these wheels, especially the first couple batches
And they lose like $1000 value in a year or so. EX30 sold Brand New for $4000 a year ago, now sells for $2700-3k New...
Can't charge me Top Dollar for a Half A** Product and make me the Crash Test Dummy.
Yes they are fun, but the juice ain't worth the squeeze...EUC Makers and Dealers please lower the prices
what about import tax and shipping costs? there is a reason that max value EUC hits at the upper mid price range
