This review, after a detailed video analysis, encapsulates everything you need to know about this top-selling EUC.
🛴 Overview: What's New with the Inmotion V8S?
The Inmotion V8S retains the thin and iconic shape of the V8 line but introduces significant inner upgrades. With a 35 km/h top speed and an improved 728 Wh battery pack, this lightweight EUC (under 15 kg) is being positioned as an entry-level model ideal for city commutes and recreational cruises.
🛡️ Safety and Durability: Built for the Real World
Safety is the most important aspect of personal electric vehicles. Inmotion V8S has a water resistance rating of IP54, which is suitable for riding under any weather conditions. The battery pack, which comes with Samsung 50E cells, is properly fitted and guarded by battery and motherboard fuses.
The body of the EUC is predominantly plastic, with durable aluminum L-hangers and pedals, which are durable enough to withstand the drops of beginner riders and tricksters.
💨 Ride Experience and Performance: Nimble and Responsive
The Inmotion V8S is highly reputed for being responsive and intuitive. Its light and balanced design makes it a predictable and enjoyable ride. The broader battery pack provides side pads that are comfortable, and the EUC is more trick-friendly than anticipated, especially with higher tire pressure.
Performance-wise, the V8S delivers decent acceleration for its weight class, where it is capable of outrunning most e-bikes and electric scooters. Braking is adequate, but heavier riders might find it less effective when descending steep hills. Range testing in the video clocked 42 km via GPS, which is an excellent upgrade from the original V8.
✨ Features and Practicality: The Commuter's Companion
The Inmotion V8S is designed with thoughtful features to make it even more convenient. The power button, trolley handle, grab handle, and lift switch are all ergonomically placed for easy access. It features a narrow profile that is easy to carry, and a mini kickstand also adds to the convenience.
One of the standout features is the side LED RGB light, which is customizable and significantly improves night visibility. Another standout feature is the InMotion app with its easy-to-use interface and multitude of features and settings. While onboard speakers are used for voice alarms, they cannot do Bluetooth audio playback.
Conclusion: Is the Inmotion V8S the Right EUC for You?
The Inmotion V8S is a decent mid-range electric unicycle that excels as a reliable workhorse for daily commutes and general recreational use. Its all-weather capabilities and extended range give it a solid all-around appeal. While it is an excellent choice for lighter riders (under 80 kg), heavier riders will experience some power limits and range anxiety. But the sophistication and usability of the V8S make it a compelling option in the mid-range EUC market.
