I want to get started - summerfun - October 17, 2025
Which electric unicycle is best for a beginner? What features should I be looking for? I know power is important and I would want to start on the lower end.
Are there any other features I should be concerned about as a beginner?

For a beginner, it’s best to start with an electric unicycle that has enough power to feel stable but not so much that it’s hard to control - something around 1,000 to 1,500 W is plenty. A 16-inch wheel is a great size because it’s easy to learn on and still smooth over bumps. You don’t need a huge battery, just enough range for practice sessions. Consider features like tilt-back, speed limits, and good lighting. A trolley handle and reasonable weight also make life easier when you’re off the wheel. Water resistance and a simple companion app are nice bonuses when you’re starting out.
Models like the InMotion V8S are popular beginner choices because they’re light.
