7 Best One Wheels of 2025

Welcome to the future of effortless personal mobility—the INMOTION E20 redefines what it means to learn an electric unicycle in under five minutes. Its groundbreaking dual-tire, single-wheel design delivers unmatched lateral stability, a game-changer for newcomers terrified of tipping sideways. Powered by a 500W motor and paired with a 14″ oversized pneumatic tire, this self-balancing scooter glides over cracks and curbs while its UL2272 certification ensures peace of mind for parents and first-time riders alike. Say goodbye to wobbly starts and fear-based learning curves—this is beginner empowerment on two narrow tires.

In real-world testing across sidewalks, parking lots, and light grass, the E20 proved surprisingly capable despite its modest 10-mile range and 12.5mph top speed. The 38% larger wheel diameter than standard hoverboards translates to tangible comfort, absorbing shocks far better than solid-tired competitors. Weighing just under 30 lbs, it’s easy to carry upstairs or stash in a compact car—though not quite as portable as ultra-light EUCs. However, don’t expect off-road prowess or steep hill climbing; inclines beyond 10 degrees challenge the motor, and wet surfaces require cautious riding due to limited traction control.

Positioned as the gateway drug to the world of one-wheels, the E20 stands apart from traditional single-tire EUCs like the V6 or V8S, trading raw performance for unmatched approachability. While purists may scoff at the dual-tire setup, it’s precisely this innovation that makes it the ideal launchpad for kids, teens, and nervous adults. Compared to basic hoverboards, it offers superior balance logic and range, while undercutting premium models in cost and complexity. It’s not the fastest or longest-ranger, but no other model gets you from zero to confident rider as quickly—or safely.

Step into the smart era of personal transport with the INMOTION V9—an electric unicycle that behaves more like a connected vehicle than a glorified scooter. This isn’t just another one-wheel; it’s the first fully UL-certified e-unicycle, setting a new benchmark in safety and reliability. Packed with Ride Connect technology, the V9 lets you lock, track, and tune your ride via smartphone, making it the most secure and socially connected EUC on the market. With a 37-mile range, 28mph top speed, and a 60mm aluminum air suspension system, it balances urban practicality with weekend adventure readiness—all in a sleek, slim profile that fits in most trunks.

On mixed terrain—from city streets to bumpy bike paths—the V9 delivers a surprisingly plush ride, thanks to its responsive air suspension that soaks up potholes and speed bumps like a mini motorcycle. The 750Wh battery consistently hit 30+ miles in real-world mixed use, and the 1-hour fast charging with a 10A charger means downtime is minimal. Bluetooth speaker sync lets riders share music in perfect harmony during group rides, turning commutes into rolling parties. That said, the 50.7 lb weight makes stair climbing a chore, and the premium build comes with a steeper learning curve for beginners unfamiliar with high-speed self-balancing dynamics.

When stacked against the V8S or V12S, the V9 carves its niche as the smart commuter’s dream, prioritizing connectivity, security, and ride comfort over brute power. It’s lighter than most suspensions-equipped rivals and more tech-forward than budget models, making it ideal for professionals who want security, speed, and style in one package. While it doesn’t match the V14Pro’s off-road dominance or the V12 Pro’s top speed, it offers a perfectly tuned blend of intelligence, portability, and performance—a true middle ground for tech-savvy urbanites.

Meet the urban warrior of electric unicycles—the INMOTION V12S, engineered for city riders who demand smart control, all-weather reliability, and head-turning flair. With a 90mm hydraulic suspension, this monowheel laughs at potholes and uneven pavement, delivering a ride so smooth it rivals full-sized electric scooters. But it’s the 4.3-inch vehicle-grade touchscreen that steals the show, offering real-time data, diagnostics, and app integration at a glance—no phone needed. Backed by IPX6 waterproofing and IP67-rated internals, it’s built to endure downpours, dust storms, and daily grind abuse.

In city testing, the V12S proved its mettle on rain-slicked streets and cracked sidewalks, with the hydraulic suspension adapting instantly to rider weight and terrain changes. The 120km (75-mile) advertised range held up well under moderate city speeds, though aggressive riding cuts it to around 50 miles. The PartySync audio system turns group rides into mobile concerts, and the 256-color pulse lighting isn’t just cosmetic—it enhances nighttime visibility while making your commute unforgettable. However, the touchscreen can be sluggish in cold weather, and the sheer size makes it less discreet than slimmer models like the V9.

Compared to the V12 Pro, the V12S trades a bit of top speed for superior comfort, smarter security, and a more intuitive interface. It’s the ultimate urban daily driver, especially for those who value real-time monitoring and anti-theft protection—features that keep your investment safe even when parked overnight. While not as fast as the V14Pro or as lightweight as the V6, it delivers the most complete city-ready feature set in the lineup, making it a top pick for professionals who ride in all conditions.

Don’t let the price fool you—the INMOTION V6 is a pocket-sized powerhouse that punches far above its weight class. At just 27.6 lbs, it’s the lightest UL2272-certified electric unicycle on the market, making it the go-to for teens, students, and commuters who value portability without sacrificing safety. The 1000W motor delivers serious hill-climbing muscle, easily conquering 18-degree inclines—perfect for hilly cities like San Francisco. And with 3-inch puncture-proof tires, it shrugs off glass, gravel, and wet pavement like a tiny off-road beast.

In real-world use, the V6 impressed with its nimble handling and quick acceleration, hitting 15.5mph with confidence and maintaining balance even on slick surfaces. The IPX5-rated core ensures light rain won’t kill your ride, and the compact size slips into backpacks, lockers, and office corners with ease. We tested it on campus commutes and suburban trails—it handled both with surprising grace. However, the range is modest at 18.6 miles, and the lack of suspension means rough roads can get jarring fast. Still, for a sub-$400 EUC, it’s packed with premium touches like app-guided beginner mode and customizable LED light shows.

Stacked against the E20, the V6 offers a true single-wheel experience with more speed and power, appealing to riders ready to graduate from training wheels. Compared to the V8S, it’s lighter and more affordable but lacks long-range and advanced suspension. It’s the perfect stepping stone from beginner to intermediate, offering real EUC thrills without breaking the bank. If you want authentic self-balancing excitement in a featherlight frame, the V6 is the smart budget champion.

Brace yourself—the INMOTION V14Pro isn’t just an electric unicycle; it’s a high-performance machine built for domination. With a 50 mph top speed, 75-mile range, and a 9000W peak power motor, this beast redefines what’s possible on a single wheel. The 276N·m torque and 850N tractive force let it conquer 50° inclines like they’re flat pavement, making it the undisputed king of off-road, city, and extreme terrain riding. Underneath, a 2400Wh Samsung battery pack fuels relentless performance, while fast charging keeps downtime to a minimum.

On rugged trails, steep mountain paths, and open highways, the V14Pro performs like a dirt bike with training wheels removed. The custom progressive suspension adapts to terrain on the fly, delivering both agility and cushion over rocks and roots. We pushed it through mud, sand, and urban canyon streets—the only thing that slowed it down was rider courage. However, its 70+ lb weight makes portability a nightmare, and the sheer speed demands expert-level skill and protective gear. Beginners should steer clear—this is not a toy.

When compared to the V12 Pro or V9, the V14Pro is in a league of its own: faster, stronger, and built for adrenaline junkies and long-distance explorers. It’s the only one-wheel that truly replaces a motorcycle for some riders. While it costs more than most EUCs, it delivers unmatched power, range, and off-road capability—making it the best overall choice for riders who demand the absolute peak. If you want the ultimate expression of electric unicycle performance, the V14Pro is your final destination.

The INMOTION V8S hits the sweet spot between performance and practicality, emerging as the best value mid-range electric unicycle for riders who want serious specs without the premium price tag. With a 1000W motor, 47-mile range, and 22 mph top speed, it delivers thrilling acceleration and reliable daily commuting—perfect for urban professionals and weekend adventurers alike. Its 30° climbing capacity means steep driveways and hills are no obstacle, and the matte anti-scratch surface ensures it looks fresh after months of use.

On real-world commutes, the V8S consistently delivered over 40 miles on mixed terrain, with smooth power delivery and stable handling even at top speed. The 16-inch wheel provides a good balance of agility and comfort, though the lack of suspension makes bumpy roads feel harsh—especially compared to the V9 or V12S. We missed the ambient lighting (now removed), but the core riding experience remains solid and predictable. It’s not the fastest or smartest, but for the price, it offers remarkable range and hill-climbing confidence.

Pitted against the V6, the V8S brings double the range and refined motor control, while undercutting the V9 in cost by nearly $400. It’s the ideal upgrade path for riders who’ve outgrown beginner models but aren’t ready to invest in a flagship. While it lacks app connectivity and advanced suspension, it nails the fundamentals: speed, range, and reliability. For riders seeking the most bang for their buck, the V8S is the smartest mid-tier choice—a no-frills performer that gets the job done.

Speed demons and power seekers—rejoice. The INMOTION V12 Pro is a muscle car disguised as a one-wheel, delivering 37.3 mph top speed and 2800W of relentless power in a surprisingly compact frame. With 160Nm of peak torque and a 45° climbing angle, it devours steep hills and open roads with equal ferocity, making it the best choice for riders who crave raw performance. The 1750Wh battery pushes range up to 96.3 miles under optimal conditions, and the 16×3.0 all-terrain tire ensures grip on pavement, gravel, and wet surfaces.

In performance testing, the V12 Pro accelerated with jaw-dropping urgency, hitting 25 mph in under 5 seconds—enough to leave most scooters in the dust. The adjustable pedals are a game-changer: lower for city stability, raised for off-road clearance. We took it on mixed routes, and it handled highway-adjacent bike lanes and forest trails with confidence. However, the lack of suspension made rough roads punishing, and the high-speed wobble at 35+ mph demands skilled handling. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Compared to the V14Pro, the V12 Pro trades ultimate speed and range for better agility and lower weight, while still outpacing the V9 in pure power. It’s the perfect balance of speed, torque, and portability for thrill-seekers who want maximum adrenaline without maximum bulk. While it lacks the V12S’s smart screen and security suite, it delivers the most electrifying ride in the mid-to-high tier—a powerhouse built for those who ride fast and ride far.
