On a drift circuit in Shenzhen, China, Wrong Way! pushed the INMOTION P6 to 67 mph (108 km/h) on the straight. Speed was only part of the story. Tire pressure and pedal angle made a noticeable difference to how the wheel felt under hard acceleration and braking. At roughly 110 lb (50 kg), the P6 took work to turn through tight corners, but its suspension smoothed out the rough patches, and no overload or temperature warnings were reported during the test.
A note on the setup: The speeds and settings below come from a specific closed-course test. They are not universal recommendations or a guarantee of safe operation. Account for tire specifications, rider weight, and riding conditions. Do not attempt to recreate these speeds on public roads.
Speed defines the INMOTION P6. Billed by INMOTION as the fastest electric unicycle, it has a claimed top speed of 93 mph (150 km/h) and a 0–30 mph (0–48 km/h) time of just 1.9 seconds. A 235V platform and 20,000W of peak power underpin its track-focused design.
On a closed circuit in Shenzhen, Wrong Way! reached 67 mph (108 km/h) on the P6. This ride did not reach its claimed top speed, but it revealed plenty about how the wheel handles: hard acceleration on the straight, shifts in body position under heavy braking, and the effort it takes to turn a roughly 110 lb (50 kg) wheel through tight corners. The 90mm-travel hydraulic suspension absorbed rough patches, while changes to tire pressure and pedal settings noticeably changed the feel of the ride.
The P6 puts speed and acceleration front and center, but suspension, setup, and rider input all play a part on track. It is a wheel for experienced riders with solid handling skills. This test shows how those pieces come together on a closed course.

1. On the Straight: 67 mph and Power to Spare
The P6 accelerated hard on the closed circuit and stayed composed through repeated acceleration and braking runs.
- Recorded track speed: Wrong Way! reached 67 mph (108 km/h) on a short straight. INMOTION testers Zach and Brian were reported to have exceeded 75 mph (120 km/h) on the same stretch.
- Warnings during the test: No alarms, overload beeps, or temperature warnings were reported during the repeated acceleration and heavy braking runs. That describes this test, not a guarantee for every rider or set of conditions.
Track safety: Riding at these speeds carries a serious risk of injury. The reviewer stresses the need for full motorcycle-grade protective gear, including a full-face helmet, a leather riding jacket, armored pants, and racing boots. A bicycle helmet and basic pads are not enough for this kind of riding. Even full protective gear cannot eliminate the risks.
2. Tire Pressure: What Changed at 27–30 PSI
The early runs brought out a high-speed wobble under straight-line acceleration. The reviewer traced it to tire pressure that was too high for his setup.
- Starting point: 40 PSI. The reviewer attributed the wobble to a smaller tire contact patch at the higher pressure, particularly under hard acceleration.
- Test setup: 27–30 PSI. After lowering the pressure, the reviewer reported that the wobble disappeared during this test and the wheel felt planted above 62 mph (100 km/h). These pressures reflect his setup and conditions, not a target for every rider.
- Checking pressure on the screen. The P6’s built-in Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) displays a live pressure reading on the touchscreen, making it easy to keep an eye on PSI between runs.
3. Pedal Angle and Sensitivity: Finding a Better Braking Position
Under hard acceleration, the P6 felt noticeably pitched forward to the reviewer. That made it harder to shift back into a strong braking position before a tight corner. He adjusted two settings through the touchscreen:
- ESC balance angle: A rearward setting of -4° to -7° helped offset the forward-leaning feel. For this rider, it made leaning back under heavy braking easier and gave him better control on corner entry.
- Pedal sensitivity: Settings of 60%–69% gave him a balance between quick response and manageable braking.
These are the settings used in this ride, not a one-size-fits-all tune. Rider preference and experience matter.
4. Suspension and Handling: A 110 lb Wheel Takes Effort
- Over the bumps: The P6’s air suspension absorbed the track’s rough spots well. The reviewer described a smooth ride even where the pavement was less than perfect.
- Through the corners: At around 110 lb (50 kg), the P6 needs deliberate weight shifts and plenty of leg input in tight turns. It is a physical ride, though the reviewer found it reassuringly stable at speed during this test.
5. Who Is the INMOTION P6 For?
The P6 is not a beginner’s commuter wheel. This test makes more sense as a look at what experienced riders can get from a race-focused EUC on a closed course. The power is there, the suspension handles rough pavement well, and the touchscreen makes setup changes straightforward. Getting comfortable with its weight and finding the right setup are just as important as its speed capability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What helped reduce high-speed wobble in this P6 test?
The reviewer lowered tire pressure from 40 PSI to 27–30 PSI and reported improved tracking. The P6’s built-in TPMS let him check pressure on the touchscreen. Those numbers describe this particular test.
What made braking feel easier?
The reviewer used a rearward ESC balance angle of -4° to -7°. That helped counter the forward-leaning feel under acceleration and made it easier for him to shift back for braking. It was a rider-specific adjustment, not a universal recommendation.
Is the INMOTION P6 suitable for beginners?
No. At roughly 110 lb (50 kg), with speed capability well above 62 mph (100 km/h), the P6 is aimed at experienced EUC riders and track enthusiasts who already have strong control and body-positioning skills.
