InMotion V11Y review

On November 13, 2026 InMotion sold the V11Y for $1,299, against a $2,399 regular price and $1,899 at eWheels the same day. At that figure nothing else here comes close: a 1,500 Wh battery, a 2,500 W motor with a 7,000 W peak, 85 mm of air suspension and IPX6, in a wheel a normal adult can still lift into a car trunk. It scores 9.1/10. The honest caveats: it is 66 lb, the stock charger needs 8 hours, and the price is a sale that the page says ends November 30.

It can be, for the right beginner. The motor is strong, the 18-inch tire rolls over what stops a 14-incher, and the air suspension forgives clumsy legs. InMotion's limit of 37 mph is far beyond what a learner should touch, but speed limits are set in the app.

The question is weight. At 66 lb you can lift it, but you won't enjoy four flights of stairs, and a tired learner wrestling a heavy wheel gets frustrated faster. If you are fit and patient, start here and skip the upgrade. If you are unsure, start on the V9. It ranks No. 3 of 6 in our beginner list for exactly that reason.

Freedom from the range meter. InMotion claims 74.56 miles, a brochure figure like every brand's. The capacity is what counts: 1,500 Wh is double the V9's tank, and in practical terms it is the difference between planning a ride and just going for one. A 30-mile Saturday loop with hills leaves you with reserve instead of arithmetic.

It also keeps the wheel strong late in the ride. Every electric unicycle loses headroom as the battery drains, and a larger pack sags less under load. That matters for safety as much as for distance. It ranks No. 5 of 10 in our long range electric unicycle ranking, the cheapest wheel in the top five by a wide margin.

This is the real decision, and it is closer than the $700 suggests. The V12S, our No. 1, adds hydraulic suspension with 90 mm of travel, UL certification, a 309 lb load limit, a touchscreen and a claimed 43.5 mph. The V11Y answers with a slightly larger battery, 11 lb less to carry, and money left for gear and a fast charger.

If the paper certification or the higher load limit matters to you, pay for the V12S. Otherwise the V11Y is the smart buy while the sale lasts. The full breakdown is in InMotion V12S vs V11Y.

InMotion lists the V11Y, a charger with its cable, an inflator with an extended air nozzle for the suspension, two wrenches and two L-shaped wrenches, a quick start guide and the manual. The feature list also mentions an extra bumper cover and battery corner covers.

Charge it overnight: 8 hours on the stock charger. Set the air suspension for your weight with the inflator before the first ride, pair the app and check the firmware. Practice mounting next to a wall; the kickstand helps you start from a standstill without a helper.

Before the first ride, a helmet and wrist guards at the very least: our electric unicycle safety gear guide lists what riders wear at each speed. Rules change by state and by city, so check where an electric unicycle is legal to ride before you plan a commute around it.

Shipping is free from a US warehouse. If you ride daily, a faster charger is the upgrade to price first: the wheel accepts up to 10 A. Add a helmet, wrist guards and knee pads at this speed class. Returns are for unopened boxes within 15 days, so decide before you cut the tape.

Per watt-hour of battery, that is $0.87: the figure our tie-break uses when two wheels land on the same score.

Each criterion is marked from the figure InMotion publishes; anything the page doesn't publish gets the lowest mark. Claimed top speed is not a criterion. The weighted result is placed on our 7.5 to 9.6 scale. The scales and the weights are on our methodology page.

$1,299 at InMotion on November 13, 2026. Black Friday price on InMotion's store on November 13, 2026 (the page says it ends November 30); InMotion lists $2,399 as the regular price. eWheels sold the same wheel for $1,899 that day.

If that is more than you planned, the Begode A2+ costs $1,150 and scores 7.6/10. One step up, the KingSong 16X Pro is $1,499 for 7.9/10. We link to InMotion because that is where we read the price and the stock.

The two closest in price: Begode A2+ ($1,150, 7.6/10) and KingSong 16X Pro ($1,499, 7.9/10). Put all three side by side.
