The Inmotion V13 EUC (Electric Unicycle) has become a popular choice among EUC enthusiasts who prioritize safety and quality. The overall design of the V13 makes it the most refined EUC we have reviewed on the channel.

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at what we love and hate about the Inmotion V13 Challenger, and examine why it’s considered one of the safest wheels on the market.

  • quick and easy disassembly. while at times a little more time consuming than other particular wheels, the additional time spent is from the engineering and build quality that reflects on it.. it's not hard to take apart and very intuitive to take apart.. even without the mass of InMotion videos that have been published. lol. balls to the walls, I haven't seen under 30 miles of range. I can get maybe 38 or so miles hauling my 200lb butt.. still waiting to go even faster. lol. thanks for the shoutout! 🥰
  • I got the V13 and am loving it. I'm a 240-lb guy who rode it for 50+ miles in a rain/snow storm this past weekend. I do wish it had a seat and more disposable/modular bumpers, but Clarkpads has an awesome system available for both. Coming from a V12 and Mten4, it's a big adjustment — like riding a horse. But I love it, and it's definitely my new commuter wheel in Boston.

    Another very thorough job, Jimmy you guys did great. Thanks for all your input.
  • @greenwave819
    I was so stoked for the v13 and sure it's a solid wheel. Underwhelmed by the range? yes, are other wheels a better buy... I think so. I do love that Orange!!!
  • @Kamikazekman
    Thanks for your thoughts fellas! All good points. I'm expecting my range to be on the higher end due to my riding environment. Not a lot of places that I can really open it up for extended periods of time. Here in Australia the place I ordered my V13 from (E-Riderz) was kind enough to include the official stand and seat with my order for free. The seat is great! The stand however, even though it's stable, solid and does the job, interferes with the mudguard when in use. Good to have nonetheless. Thanks for the content!
  • just watched the first minute and it seems like a movie. really well done cutting, filming ..... just everything.
  • Just imagine an inmotion v13 plus with more battery (3600wh), not to say the battery on it is bad for average riding, I see them doing something like this done the road! 😊
  • @Clubkabuki
    I really enjoyed your review of the V13. Excellent video.
  • @RCDevotee
    Thanks Jimmy and Andrew! Most of the riders I know that have ridden the V13 and EX30 have picked the EX30. I am also leaning on adding the EX30 later this year for my longer range street cruiser. I like the Master Pro but don't want something quite that large.

    Hi guys, there is a seat and kickstand for V13. It depends on your dealer. Some are providing seat and kickstand included. The seat is nice, just the perfect size, and is does not cover the handle. Instead the handle fold over a central notch on the seat. The kickstand is good too. Not the foldable system but fixed. I had my fears about it because I do not like these foot too low, exposing to be hit by rocks etc. This is just right. Solid, easy to install, stable and high to prevent interfering. Then, inevitably the vehicle has to leans back a lot, making harder to get to the charging ports (unless connecting the charger before tilting back). My V13 has in-built spikes on the pedals, not screws. The lower section of the suspension slider, has four threaded holes where to easily attach 3D printed pieces or even metal fenders if desired. The rebound adjustment is easy once knowing how to. Just screw it gently to the end and on turn back (counterclockwise) one turn for cruising, two for multipurpose and three for frequent obstacles (rally/offroading). No clics, so you can set in between levels as desired. The tool, just a 5mm drill on the front of the seat and there you can insert it to keep it handy when needed. What I have noticed is that many are using it with >35PSI on the tire "as usual" and no surprise they experience wobbles. It is a similar tire than Cordial for V12HT. It is not a common tire, but made to be used with very low pressure (maximum 40PSI for 180kg on top). I wish you could tell us your opinion about how it behaves when changing the pedal's height and angle. I prefer middle height and stock side angle. What about your the settings? I like it with pedal sensitivity at 20%, power assist with accelerate at 75% and brake at 30%. Well calibrated, I set it at 1º forward. Your video shows a V13 with the tire being swapped; was is worth and would you recommend to do it? What I do miss for V13 is a 12A portable charger. Adjustable chargers Battis-style, are too big and heavy. V13 is fast even at low battery levels, but it does not mean we have to ride it a these high speeds (decreasing range and exposing us to severe injuries). It is nice to see mature and responsible riders. We need you guys. Thanks so much for sharing.
  • @adamheeley285
    Nice review. I like how you talk about riding it seated.
  • Hello guys! I usually don’t leave YouTube comments but this was a tough watch! When lifting the wheel up did you consider hitting the power button? To make it shut off?
  • @ibhulk3
    Hey Jimmy and Andrew, hope I’m not pushing buttons but I wanted to ask why y’all haven’t done a review on the Sherman S. If you have done one, hope I didn’t miss it. Thank you
  • The trolley handle hinge broke on my V12-HT I think because in a tumble the trolley handle can catch on something and torque against the metal frame and break the hinges off. Does the V13 rollbar look like it could prevent the trolley handle from breaking off in a tumble? OH, at least it looks like the trolley handle hinge plate on the V13 can screw off and easily be replaced when damaged, design looks improved to me! Damn, I wish my V12 had the handle design like that. Now I have to spend a lot of money to replace the whole top part of the EUC. >.>
  • @AirsoftArg
    Inmotion never said that it won’t have cutoffs, they want to achieve it from the hardware side of things, like putting 42 fets, 18 caps, 2 halls, etc. so from this side the margin of parts failing gets narrower, but the cutoff most of the times is because user fault or overpowering the device and all of euc’s will cutoff because of this, we don’t have and will never have unlimited battery power.
  • @ragon747
    @Freshly Charged Can you guys show the the pedals height comparison like you do on this video? side by side 10:20
  • @FabienMathey
    I am an owner of a v12ht. I always see the ultra speeds and quick ridings. But what is the range on a normal speed? Also I am afraid that the « speed demons » running at 50+mph past pedestrians will get euc banned as this is a stupid and dangerous move. As you guys said: a smart euc dies not replace your brain. The v12ht has currently no issues for me. Ihad an issue. But I have figured out that when I plug it in immediately after riding, it gives a battery error sometimes as it is not ready. Waiting 1 minute from my ride, no errors.

    How does the touchscreen react to light rain tapping on it? Is there a rain cover?
