“This is my first EUC. I am very pleased. I bought it to use with my small airplane to scoot around airports I visit. There are a lot of places to fly that have attractions beyond walking distance, but accessible with a bicycle or EUC. This EUC is more compact and lighter than a bike, and is easy to load in my small plane. I learned to ride in about 4 weeks practicing 10 minutes twice a day. It handles the 12° slope of my gravel driveway with ease and has plenty of range for my needs. I love it!”
“Arrived very quickly and my teen loves it! Great price, works perfectly. The app could be improved but this does not interfere with enjoying the Euc.”
“Got mine from ewheels in April 2020. It took some hits when I learned to ride it but held up well. The 14d is a blast to ride and is my goto for around town trips. In February i got a V11 because speed is important. I love eve V11 for longer trips. But if I don't feel like gearing up for a short trip or want to take it with me in the car the 14d is the one I use. I rarely use the speakers but Sousa marches are a definite hit”
“Very reliable, well built EUC. Good for a starter EUC, or a lightweight short range commuter. I use this EUC to teach my friends on, and to run quick errands. Great value for the money.”
“Best mid class so far (at least for me lol) speed and power is where the KS14D shines , from quick acceleration to smooth stops , the KS14D never disappoints, I commute to NYC every day and regret not having purchased this wheel sooner ( 4 miles daily ) the wheel now feels in sync with my thoughts and carves thru the corners like a rocket, you will NOT GET BORED of this wheel any time soon thanks to its power and battery life , also the case feels like it can take the abuse and the lights are really helpful specially now that the winter is coming, the only issue I had is with the handle rails bottoms , right at the end , the end piece came loose and snapped, thanks to the great customer support from EWHEELS , that was taken care of by Jason , thanks guys for providing excellent customer service.”
“This is my first e-unicycle. I started off with the onewheel v1 but range was always on the back of my mind. I love this wheel. Not only is it really fun to ride, I use it to commute to work, a 10 mile trip each way, when it is nice outside. My only regret is not getting the ks14s or the ks16s instead for the longer range.”
“First wheel purchase
Reason for purchase - Commute to work, I live in San Francisco and the hills are just as annoying going up and down
Why did I choose a eWheel - I considered all sorts of electric vehicles, these eWheels are the most versatile, you can go on the street or on the sidewalk, they are also very small so it's easy to maneuver around people or bring into a restaurant and put under your chair.
How long did it take to learn to ride - about an hour trying to balance in my house, 1 or two more hours outside practicing before I felt comfortable riding to work.
Durability - During the practice phase I lost control a couple times going decently fast and jumped off the wheel took a nice tumble but it's shown zero signs of slowing down
Speed - I was considering a slightly slower wheel and I'm happy I chose this one, once you get used to it the speed is nice, especially if you need to tackle hills
Favorite feature - Effortlessly going up hills, I have friends who have electric skateboards and their boards aren't able to get them up the same hills I cruise over. The lights on the front and back are nice safety features for night time
Quirks - The apps are really janky and you need to download them to unlock the speed
Suggestions to manufacturer for improvement - the telescoping handle could go a little higher, I'm not that tall so it's manageable but if I were any taller i would have to be very hunched over to use it.
The speed is controlled electronically and if you are exceeding the max speed it will beep and pull you back a little bit, this is fine on flat ground but when the battery is running low and you are going up hill it thinks you are going max speed when you are not going very fast. I think the speed is measured by measuring some variable of energy usage rather than calculating rotational speed
Overall I love this device, all my friends thought I was a weirdo for buying one, but they are slowly coming around to understanding this is the future of transportation!”
“A few months ago when I got really excited about getting an EUC, I spent several weeks researching the options and decided this was the one for me. My wife wasn't convinced (she thought it was a pricey toy I'd lose interest in after a day). So I waited, not at all patiently, and by that time it was Christmas and since I'd spent the intervening time making her watch videos and reviews she surprised me with one!
It arrived and she still was not impressed. I took it out and went through the necessary 15-30 minutes of just trying to roll the the thing a few feet before it clicked. For about a month she showed no interest in it until she happened to see me gliding (i ride it to work everyday) and she agreed to give it a try. She can be a bit uncoordinated, so she hasn't taken to it as quickly as I have, but she's stubborn. The point is, anyone can learn to ride this thing and just standing on it is enough to make you a believer. She told me to get her one for her birthday. Can't wait for our first riding date.
Some things you should know:
It's awesome and I love it. I can attest to what has been said about slower models, I wanted to max this thing out as soon as it would let me (5km traveled). I have very little desire to go faster, especially after my crash at top speed, more on that later.
It is sturdy. I fell off the front at 18 mph, skidded several feet across the road, and thanks to my liberal application of padding, there was barely a scratch on the unicycle. Me not so much, but I was lucky. Wear pads.
It's going to take a few days to get proficient. After the first training session, I was very sore. Muscles I don't use very much got a real work out and until you can balance and shift your weight proficiently you're going to bang up your legs.
Heed the tilt back warning. The only crash I've had was a bad one and it was all because I was stupid. Once I hit the top speed I tried leaning even harder into it to see how fast I could go. Once you reach top speed, that is it. If you lean more, it's not going to speed up, which means no more torque, which means there's nothing to keep you upright. Painful lesson but I did it for you guys and gals. The good news is that it took concerted effort and stupidity to lean over the tilt back so you can't do it accidentally.
When joy riding I very rarely reach half battery capacity, the point where you begin to slow down. I'm usually a bit tired and cold by then and happy to wind down, but if 30-45 minutes isn't a long enough ride for you, consider the 14S.”
