Urban Unicycle Combines High Speed, Extended Range, and Innovative Technology to Transform Transportation in Cities, Merging Unique Design and Advanced Features in a Product That Promises Convenience and Safety for Different User Profiles.

The InMotion V12S electric unicycle hits the market promising to revolutionize urban mobility with a top speed of 70 km/h, a range of up to 120 kilometers per charge, and a set of features focused on technology, safety, and comfort.

Equipped with hydraulic suspension similar to that of motorcycles, the model combines a playful appearance with robust performance, positioning itself as a viable alternative to traditional transportation in large cities.

The InMotion V12S aims to provide a freedom experience for the user, with agile and practical movements, without sacrificing comfort and safety.

The unicycle weighs 35 kilograms, supports up to 140 kilograms, and, according to the manufacturer, can be used on different types of urban terrains and even tackle inclines of up to 35 degrees.

The product is already available in the official InMotion store for US$ 2,399 — a price close to that of high-end smartphones, around R$ 13,000 at the direct conversion rate from June 2025.

Intuitive Control and Suspension Technology

The control of the V12S requires only a tilt of the body to define direction and speed.

To move forward, the rider leans forward.

To brake, just lean back.

The turn is made by leaning to one side.

This system, common in modern electric unicycles, has been enhanced by InMotion to provide, according to the company, a smooth and stable ride, with less fatigue for the user even on longer trips.

Another highlight of the V12S is the hydraulic suspension, a rare technology in this segment that absorbs impacts on uneven roads and enhances comfort during travel.

The unicycle also features 16-inch tires, which provide grip and stability in various conditions, as well as an IPX6 rating, indicating protection against strong water jets and allowing use even on rainy days.

High-Capacity Battery and Fast Charging

The 1,440 Wh battery, supplied by Samsung, ensures a range of up to 120 kilometers on a single charge.

A distinguishing feature of the model is the 10-amp fast charger, which allows the unicycle to be fully charged in just two hours — a resource offered free to the first buyers, according to InMotion.

Connectivity and Safety Features

In terms of connectivity, the V12S features a 4.3-inch touchscreen for real-time monitoring of information such as speed, battery level, and distance traveled.

The model also offers:

  • LED headlight
  • Rear brake light
  • Customizable lights via app
  • Dual speakers for music playback
  • Group mode that synchronizes audio between different users

The unicycle is compatible with the RideConnect service, a digital platform of the company that includes real-time tracking, remote locking, anti-theft alerts, and motion alarms.

Buyers of the V12S receive 12 months of free RideConnect subscription.

Ergonomic Design and Self-Balancing

The design of the V12S, featuring leg rests on both sides and foldable foot platforms, is meant to facilitate boarding and ensure stability for the rider.

When powered on, the unicycle activates the self-balancing system, reducing the learning curve for new users.

Nonetheless, it is recommended to pay attention to local regulations, as the use of electric unicycles on public roads is still not permitted in all countries or cities.

In Brazil, for example, the absence of specific regulations for electric unicycles means that their circulation depends on municipal or state laws.

Other Electric Unicycle Options

For those seeking more accessible alternatives, InMotion offers other models, such as the V6, aimed at beginners.

With a top speed of 25 km/h and reduced range, the V6 costs US$ 449, roughly equivalent to R$ 2,400.

For advanced users and adrenaline lovers, the manufacturer has the V13 Challenger, capable of reaching an impressive 140 km/h.

Designed for off-road use, the V13 costs US$ 3,999, approximately R$ 21,700 at the current exchange rate.

Does the electric unicycle with motorcycle speed have the potential to gain traction in Brazilian cities? Would you use it?
