The InMotion V13 Challenger was air shipped to us to test and review. The Challenger features the fastest free spin on a EUC paired with the most safety margins we have seen on an electric unicycle to help prevent cutouts and fires. Equipped with a 22-inch fat knobby tire and suspension, this electric unicycle is made to be ridden with 100% confidence.
In this video, we unbox, set up, walkthrough, go for a ride, and tell you our initial impressions of the Inmotion V13 Challenger.

I just wish this wanka had a bigger battery. That's a hungry ass 4500w motor. As a generally bigger guy who also likes range (and is a bit of a speed demon) - but what experienced euc rider isnt? Only been riding for 1.5 months too
FutureMotion, take notes y'all. This is how you respond to your community voicing their concerns! Great video, you made it feel as close to having actually bought the V13 as possible without actually buying it.
Unparalleled build quality. Thanks guys
Thanks Jimmy and Andrew! I really like how Inmotion keeps trying to improve their product and has a great focus on safety. If I didn't already have my Master I would consider the V13 as I don't really need the 4800wh of the Master Pro. The Master Pro is an awesome street cruiser. It is great to see the Sherman S and Inmotion V13. We are spoiled to have such great options available to us. I will definitely try out the V13 once Alienrides has it available. I am also curious about the EX30 as something with more range than a Master but not quite as big as a Master Pro. EX30 might be my sweet spot but who knows.
Nice review. Like I said on the Kuji Rolls review of this wheel, this is the top of class wheel. It is likely the single best wheel ever made. If I had the money to burn I'd get one just to see if I could be tempted to do some touring on it. And that is how I see this wheel, for people with longer commutes and those who are really into touring. I know people can use it in other ways as well but I don't think that is going to be the ideal use case.

thanks for the great video! Please do an in-depth review on the suspension. Everyone knows that this wheel has the best safety and power of any EUC on the market.... the big question is how does the suspension compare to the Sherman S and S22 (with CNC roller sliders)? The V11 suspension is severely lacking compared to the latest wheels on the market and the V13 uses a similar design.... so how much did they improve the suspension compared to the V11?
Excellent video lots of great topics covered
You two made one of the best inmotion V13 unboxing videos I’ve seen. I have seriously considered the purchase of the V13 as my next euc. I’ve watch other reviews such as Kuji Rolls which seem pretty positive, but I believe your video has taken me over the top as the V13 being my next euc.

I haven’t ridden the Transformer yet, it was delivered the day after surgery (reverse total replacement,rt. shoulder) and it’s winter here in Idaho. I probably/definitely should have done some research before purchase. I was on the treadmill @ the gym and I saw the Transformer on Indiegogo and thought it looked like a good idea. Delivery was taking too long so I let them send me the Twin for ‘right now! Love your videos, keep up the good work.

Hi Jimmy, V12HT solved the problems of the first V12 series model, but V13 is a plethora of other improvements. About the resistance to turn effect, Kuji mentioned as well. It has been related to bigger wheels but I wonder if using a Shinko SD244 tire with a more round profile on V13 may improve that as well. There are a lot of settings options. I hope you can comment on how they provide different outcomes for different styles and road types. Also if you could provide any feedback on how different or for what type of use would you recommend the non-suspension setting that lowers the entire vehicle. A lot to learn about this mega wheel. Thanks so much for always highlighting safety. I totally agree with you it should be the first criteria. As always, you provide sound information.
What a cool wheel!

Best feature: pedal hangers that are compatible with prior aftermarket footplate designs. No one wants a proprietary attachment point that restricts cross-platform accessories; locking customers into brand-loyal upgrades is a self-sabotaging marketing tactic, which needs to be discouraged… and this includes proprietary shock designs too.
The V13 seems to live up to the hype. 👍
Thank you for your highly educational video for those who are not familiar with e-unicycles. I wonder what happens and how does the rider handle a sudden need to stop in a very short distance and time? 🤔
I just upgraded from a Nikola AR+ (67 lbs) to a Master (80 lbs). I can't believe how much more nimble the AR+ feels in comparison. I may still just have to get used to the Master but right now I'm favoring my ol' reliable Nikola 🙂 These bigger, badder wheels are starting to lose their appeal to me. That's good for my pocket book I guess😁

Wonder if you can put a seat pad around the handle, seat pad would have to touch frame when down to support weight, but would also keep people from trying to pick it up that way.
Love the idea of these, but too expensive for what it does. Getting it set up, putting on the gear, considering its weight when not being ridden. I'd take comfort to speed any day. I do like to watch you guys zip about though.
My Sherman max and v8s shipped fully charged too. The manual for my v8s said to charge it all the way when storing for a long time. Had a li-ion battery bank that said the same thing. I wonder if the bms has some way of protecting the storage at full thing? Or maybe they're just like "better full than empty" 🤷♀️

Hmm, Jimmy went to a ballet recital while Andrew rode the v13. I’m sure the ballet was cute, but I’d say Andrew won.

IM should include a nice comfy seat especially at that price. Good short review.

Seems like the kill switch should be a toggle. You’re not picking it up unless you really want to, and I’m sure you’re careful about setting it down as well. God help you if you trip taking it up the curb, lose track of the button and then have it free spinning by your knees.

My suspicion is that the kill switch is just for laying the V13 down or putting it in kickstand mode so that when picked up it’s ready to balance and go. Whereas the power cutoff should be used for lifting up the unit. Does the v13 reactivate automatically once rotated up into position?
I dont think those are fake vents, but rather cooling rigs which is nice for waterproofing

Nice review! It's disappointing Inmotion Skipped right over a medium sized 100V wheel with suspension. Just a v12S high torque would have been perfect. This thing is nice looking but way too close to my own weight. I like the safety of Inmotion. Next time you talk to them, ask them to remember the smaller riders. And maybe mention a V12 high torque with suspension.

Since i'm a bigger guy, at 6'2" 280lbs (losing weight) this wheel seems right up my alley. However, I am a new rider so I'm not sure if it's too much wheel for beginners?
