Top 10 rating according to KP

Editor’s Choice

1. InMotion V8 (from 48 thousand rubles)

If we hadn’t opened our rating of the best with this model of the unicycle, then many fans of the electric unicycle – that’s how this transport is also called – would probably have rushed to blame us for being biased. But everything is honest in our top: this device is considered one of the most balanced in all respects. To begin with, we note the thin body, where we managed to hide a powerful motor. Behind the plastic, an LED backlight is visible, the color of which is free to set by the rider himself. But if you still have little attention to your person, then you can put on your favorite music. The bass will come right out from under the wheel. The product has a built-in wireless speaker. It takes four hours to charge this and drive about 50 kilometers on a single charge. From the ground to the pedals – 15 cm. This is a good distance to race on smooth asphalt or in places with bumpy terrain. There is a retractable handle for which you can roll or carry your vehicle. A proprietary application is available.

2. Ninebot One Z10 (from 105 thousand rubles)

If you are a little interested in the world of modern consumer technology, then you probably met the mention of this manufacturer, which specializes in electric vehicles. This is the top-end unicycle model for 2022 in their line. For beginners in the world of unicycles, it will be too cool, but for those who have already tested budget devices and fell in love with such vehicles, it’s time to take a closer look at the new thing. It is equipped with an off-road tire, which is maximally protected from punctures and whistles through ravines and slopes. Naturally, a powerful engine helps, with which you can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour. Due to the width of the rubber, it is convenient to overcome stairs and curbs without dismounting. On a single charge, you can fly up to 90 kilometers. True, it will take a record 11 hours to charge a full “battery”. There is a mount on the body that allows you to mount most models of action cameras.

3. KingSong 16S SPORTS 840WH (from 64 thousand rubles)

A product from a company that is addicted to unicycle riding in the world is considered one of the best for 2022. This is the second reincarnation of this device. On sale you can find the first version, which is devoid of a couple of advantages. The current device has a reinforced steel handle and an automatic motor lock if the rider lifts and transfers his wheel. Its speed is decent: if you choose this as your first unicycle, you will have room to grow. The pleasant thing also lies in the duration of charging: six hours at the outlet is enough for about 70 km, and if you hold on for another hour, it will run 80. Just this is the average sleep time – it is convenient to charge at night. At night, the device automatically turns on the headlight. The backlight can be selected via the smartphone app.

What other unicycles are worth paying attention to

4. Ninebot One S2 (from 32,5 thousand rubles)

In the top lines of our rating, you have already met this manufacturer. But if that model is aimed at advanced users, then this is the golden mean. Something with which you can start acquaintance with devices, and start quite fruitfully. Firstly, it takes only two hours for a full charge cycle. After that, it will run 30 km. This is the optimal distance to get to work and back in the city. Interestingly, the manufacturer has integrated a software speed limit into the device. The first kilometer it will be half the maximum. An interesting idea, although it seems that the mileage limit could have been increased. Ladies can also carry such a model of a unicycle – it weighs less than 12 kilos. True, we warn everyone who wears dresses: bruises may remain on the ankles after use. Such is the retribution for the “fashionable” case, which in fact turned out to be not the most practical.

Features:

5.Gotway MCM5 800Wh 84V (from 69 thousand rubles)

The most current model for 2022. Look for the designation V2 on the box. The signature means that you have the second version in front of you. At the manufacturing plant, the nuances of this unicycle were reworked and quality changes were achieved. For example, the cooling system has become better, which means higher durability. Added power to the motor. Slightly raised the pedals and body, making transport more comfortable. The plastic case resembles carbon. In place headlight and LED strip. The air intakes of the cooling system are visible on the sides, which add to the resemblance to a racing car. Its weight is large enough to freely carry the wheel in your hand, so there is a telescopic handle with a motor shutdown button. The engineers made the pedals from aluminum and added a non-slip coating.

Features:

6. InMotion V5F (from 33 thousand rubles)

Our ranking of the best began with the more expensive model of this company. And here is another model worthy of mention. It is lighter, cheaper, but also less nimble. However, if you are not chasing speed and other attributes of professional unicycles, then everything should be enough. Moreover, in terms of sales in 2022, the model is ahead of many competitors. But do not think that this is some kind of weak device that will pull only smooth asphalt – it also takes a hill at an inclination of up to 20 degrees. Footboards are cast from metal, sandpaper is glued on top. Over time, it will be erased, but you do not need to be a great master to buy a new roll on the construction market and replace it at home. Despite the light weight – 11 kilograms, the manufacturer did not forget to add a handle. So you can roll for it like a normal travel suitcase. For those who don’t like the flickering LED lights built into the body of most wheels, this is the perfect companion. Here, only the dimensions necessary for safety precautions without additional flickering.

7.KingSong KS14M 174Wh (from 20 thousand rubles)

An hour and a half with a socket and the unicycle is fully charged and ready to ride its owner for 17 km. Enough to get to work, but there you have to recharge. Otherwise, on the way back, you risk dragging the wheel behind you, since there is a retractable handle. The device is perfect for the first acquaintance with this class of technology, which is favored by an affordable price and low weight. And at first glance, the local speed will seem redundant. But what is not here is the speakers, which have become an attribute of most devices. Deprived model and backlight. Although the LED-headlight, which is useful in the dark, is present. Footboards covered with anti-slip coating. By the way, you can install additional batteries here, but for this you need at least a little understanding of electronics.

Features:

8. Begode Tesla V2 1020Wh 84V (from 87 thousand rubles)

A unicycle for those who plan to use it as a serious transport in a big city and travel long distances. The range of the model is the highest in our ranking of the best – 100 kilometers on a single charge. True, then you will have to make friends with the device for 10 hours with a power source. In terms of speed, everything is also on top here: depending on the size of the driver, you can squeeze up to 45 km / h. Remember about protection and safe driving! The unicycle has a “business” appearance: a combination of matte and glossy finishes. But the lighting, in our opinion, failed. The palette resembles a cheap Christmas tree garland. Luckily you can turn it off. There is a carrying handle. When buying, ask what version of the model it is. If the first, then there will be no motor lock button under the handle. But if the second, then the lever is in its place. Soft cushions are attached to the side faces to increase the comfort of the driver, pedals with sandpaper. On the front, you can find a USB port. This is nothing more than charging for gadgets. But a regular smartphone will steal not so much battery from the local “reactor”.

Features:

9. Solowheel Classic S300 VC3 (from 49 thousand rubles)

Not the newest model. Modern devices have already gone ahead in terms of speed and battery capacity. However, this one takes the speed of charge and the quality of components. The power reserve here is 20 kilometers. Up to 100% filled in just one hour. We also recommend updating the firmware on the unicycle. The engine here is frisky, but there is a software speed limiter. The update removes it and the wheel accelerates already to 25 km / h. At the same time, the power reserve from this remains practically the same. It can confuse the price of the device against the background of analogues that are superior in performance. Note that this takes its quality and durability. Yes, and uphill, judging by the reviews and user videos, it climbs perfectly.

Features:

10. Gotway Nikola Plus 1800Wh 100V (from 133 thousand rubles)

Another most powerful model of 2022. The main problem with it is that so far it is sold only from a couple of distributors or it is necessary to buy from foreign sites on order. And it’s not a fact that this unicycle will go to the masses. He’s got really cool features. Judge for yourself: it accelerates to 60 km / h. Only an experienced rider can “saddle” this and reveal it. On a full charge, you can drive up to 150 kilometers. But for this you will have to pay not only a considerable price, but also forget about lightness. The mechanism weighs 26 kilograms. In the hands of such a long time to carry will not work. It is good that there is a handle for which it can be rolled in case of a discharge or in difficult places. Separately, it is worth mentioning the design: it is concise, but retained stylish futuristic facets, which, however, do not come to the fore and look organic. The model has a bright LED headlight, stable pedals covered with sandpaper, as well as an arched handle with a rubber tip.

How to choose a unicycle

We talked about the best unicycle models available for sale in 2022. Tips for choosing a means of transport helped to draw up MADI professor and active user of the device Mikhail Yakimov.

How the device works

There are sensors inside that “tell” the engine the balance and help to drive back and forth. However, this does not deprive the rider of the obligation to balance himself. Turns to the left and right are performed by shifting the body and legs in the right direction.

When choosing means of individual mobility, you need to evaluate your physical capabilities. For example, a unicycle requires much more energy and control skills than a scooter, which anyone can immediately ride. Riding a unicycle requires preparation and training. One or two days of classes are usually enough for a person, after which he can move on a unicycle on his own.

Transport weight

When choosing, it is also important to take into account the weight of the unicycle. If the radius of your trips is about four kilometers, then the personal mobility aid should weigh around 10 kg so that it can be easily taken with you to work, to the office, easily lifted in an elevator and carried like a bag, diplomat or suitcase.

How long will it travel on one charge?

A good manufacturer indicates this in the documentation. It all depends on the number of batteries and the parameter, which is designated Wh (W * h). 130 Wh is only enough for a child to ride for an hour. An adult needs from 340 Wh to travel around the city. Please note that this figure may exceed 2000 Wh. But then the unicycle will be heavy. As the battery drains, the top speed drops. The load on them depends on the weight of the rider and the number of full charge-discharge cycles.

Monowheel dimensions

There are different sizes of devices on the market. The most common and comfortable for an adult are from 14 to 18 inches. Anything less is not suitable for serious movement around the city, but rather should be considered as an attraction. The larger the model, the better it copes with road bumps, but cornering maneuverability is also reduced.

Important attribute

This is a carry handle. It resembles that of a travel suitcase. Extends from the top of the wheel and the device can be rolled. It will come in handy so as not to carry the unicycle in your hands where it is impossible to pass. The handle must be strong, grippy, and also have a motor lock button so that the device does not go by itself.

Where to ride it

Today in Moscow, especially in its central part, ideal conditions have been created for using means of individual mobility, such as scooters, unicycles and roller skates. Over the past two years, there have been no more than six weeks in total when my unicycle cannot be used. It is associated primarily with snowfalls, with gusty winds. At other times, the quality of sidewalk cleaning is quite satisfactory in order to be able to use them.

I have significantly reduced the number of hours that I previously spent in the car. And not only in personal, which is located in close proximity to the house, but also in taxis and car sharing. A comfortable travel radius is about 3,5 – 4 kilometers. The distance is more difficult to overcome. And this applies not only to the capabilities of batteries and the resources of the electrical device itself, but also to physical fatigue.
