V10F Electric Unicycle Review: Enthusiast Perspective
There's been much talk about the upcoming Ninebot Z series wheels in terms of their pitched off-roading ability, however, one of the most important considerations in conditions with uneven surfaces and unexpected obstacles and drop offs is clearance. Low pedals aren't going to cut it no matter how wide the tire is.  Speaking of pedals, let's take another look at a direct comparison to V8 / G3: Yes, the pedals are quite a bit larger all around. I know I wasn't the only one asking for larger pedals, so this is a welcome addition.... Read more...

Electric unicycles: fun toys or serious last mile electric commuter vehicles?

How to measure and track the tire pressure of electric unicycles
The measuring is done through the use of a manometer. A quality manometer is the only guarantee for a precise pressure measurement. Cheap manometers and pumps with such a meter are usually imprecise. Pay attention to the valve access as well. Some electric unicycles, such as the Ninebot, have a proprietary valve, which is small and can present a problem when trying to use a manometer without the necessary attachment. I recommend that you do a comparative test before you trust your manometer completely. Take a measurement and then check it... Read more...

What Components of an Electric Unicycle are the Heaviest?
One fairly common misconception about Electric Unicycles is that they weigh what they do because of the weight of the battery pack. In a top-of-the-line Electric Wheel, like a King Song with a 840Wh battery, it’s true that the batteries are not exactly light; however at most, they represent at around 20% of the Wheel’s weight. With most Wheels, the motor constitutes around 50% (or more) of the total weight. This is because the components that make an electric motor work are intrinsically heavy: there are the permanent magnets on the rotor (the... Read more...
Choosing an Electric Unicycle With the Right Battery Pack for You
There are now dozens of different battery cells being made by the big manufacturers LG, Samsung, Panasonic, & Sony. For use in an application like an Electric Unicycle, the two qualities that make a particular cell more suitable over another are it’s power output (Amps) & energy density (Ah). Until fairly recently there was an inevitable trade-off between either high-powered cells (e.g. Sony VC3/A123) and energy dense cells—there’s the example of the Panasonic NCR18650B, which had capacity, but could only deliver 2-3 sustained Amps. What has been one of the... Read more...
