Just what I needed I came across these EUC things on YouTube about a year ago and couldn’t get them out of my mind. Finally bought one in Nov. 2017; KingSong 16s. Definitely nervous about such a large $ purchase on something that might prove to be nothing more than a novelty (or a complete disaster). I went for it anyway. I needed something to get me out of the house, that didn’t’ require me to go someplace else to use it, give me a sense of of adventure, exhilaration and dare I say put a smile on my face. The KingSong 16s has exceeded my expectations. I’ve also enjoyed the learning curve – a sense of genuine accomplishment in the real world where tactile and physical forces are the name of the game. There’s nothing like spending the 1st several hours doing nothing but crashing every few feet to wobbling along for a few yards, then finally being able to cautiously make it down the street. I’ve since logged over 100 miles and now I’m feeling like a super hero flying around town, up and down hills, on and off of sidewalks, and taking sharper and sharper turns with ease and precision. Recently I joked with Jason at eWheels that they should consider starting an EUC Anonymous group to begin addressing the addictiveness of these machines. Seriously, riding around and improving my skills is all I want to do anymore. So, about the KingSong 16s; fast, has great acceleration, nimble, durable, cool features, and has an overall sense of quality about it. The 16s is not a toy, it’s a serious machine for folks that are interested in getting out of the norm and experiencing the cutting edge of fun! Customer service has been excellent via Jason at eWheels. I will be buying my next EUC from eWheels – no doubt.

What a beastly wheel. Youtube videos don’t really convey the size and especially the weight of these wheels. I was leaning towards the Gotway Tesla but am glad I went with this. I haven’t even come close to full speed on this thing and don’t really have a desire to go too much faster. It is a beefy, well built wheel. No buyer’s remorse yet, Only downside is bruised calves but that is a right of passage of euc newbies. Also laid the wheel down and scratched it within the first hour but that comes with the territory. The ordering process was quick and painless. I ordered late in the evening on Monday and was riding around on it by Wednesday. Packaging was good and it came with a couple freebees (bumper pads and wrist guards, much appreciated). Buy some 3M double sided tape though since the included tape with the bumpers isn’t very good. Would purchase from Jason again.

I purchased my first EUC in September this year from Jason at eWheels. The purchase experience could not have been better, the Wheel arrived promptly as ordered in perfect condition, and Jason sent some very helpful emails with all the information that I needed to get up and running right away. I spent a few hours over the course of three days in a large parking garage where I could lean against the walls and pillars to get my confidence up on the Wheel and was cruising around the parking garage unassisted (although a little shaky) on the third day, probably put in about four to five hours of work over the course of the three days to feel fairly confident in cruising around the parking garage. I have had the wheel a little over three weeks now and have logged about 160 miles on mostly wide bike paths and neighborhood roads. I could not be happier with my purchase experience and the King Song 16S model – – it has the power to handle my 6’2″ 225# frame with no problem. I have ridden up a two mile 6 – 7% grade hill near my home and the wheel has no problem lugging me right up to the top. I am also amazed how much battery regeneration occurs with this wheel when I go down long hills. I recouped close to 20% battery charge riding the wheel down a two mile hill, very impressive. I am having enough fun that I am starting to look at a second wheel option and when I figure out what I want for my second Wheel I will be purchasing it from Jason and eWheels for sure!

After owning an Inmotion V8, Gotway ACM, Msuper v3, and KS14c, I decided to purchase the KS16s and KS18s. After hearing about some Gotway quality/safety issues, I went with Kingsong. My children ride my wheels and needed something that I felt was safer. I really love this wheel! Nice torque and plenty of power and speed for my needs. I love the round shape and well thought out trolley handle. I'm 6'3" and the trolley works well and is at a good height. The 16" wheel is my favorite sized wheel and the 16s didn't let me down. I have size 12 shoe and the foot plates are a good size. All around great wheel! Well worth it. Jason at ewheels is the greatest. I will be buying more wheels from him.

I ordered black KingSong 840Wh/800W as an upgrade to my Ninebot E+ from eWheels.com. The order shipped the same day and I received it 2 days later since I live in California and the wheel shipped from Los Angeles. Couldn’t be happier with the speed of order processing and shipment ! After you order, you get an informational message about the particular model you ordered with useful information to get you ready. This is really a nice touch and is sent in addition to the order receipt. When I received the order, the wheel was in perfect condition and actually looked better in real life than in pictures. I’ve had a chance to ride it a few times now and I say it’s really good upgrade path for Ninebot E+ owner, especially with regards to the range which from my initial experience looks to be about 3 times the range. I will be writing a more thorough comparison later that I will post to the forum.electricunicycle.org with the pros and cons of this model. This is a great site to buy EUC with complete confidence that you will get the service and support when you need it (and you will). eWheels answered all my questions pre and post purchase and he is very reputable among the EUC community. I’m 100% satisfied with the purchase that I have no trouble recommending this site to people I meet who are also looking to buy electric unicycle. Do not buy from random sources on the Internet where you won’t get warranty or support. eWheels will definitely have my repeat business in the future when I decide to upgrade again

I bought this wheel for a “last mile” commuter solution but it has quickly become an evening addiction. I play the online GPS game Ingress and this is perfect for that! I’ve ridden almost 200 miles on it so far and having so much fun. It’s worth the learning curve. E-wheels is the place to purchase. No regrets, in fact, trying to buy another for the wife!
