How to choose a unicycle in 2021: ranking of the best and fastest, review

creativecommons.org

Lately, electric vehicles have taken over cities. This is justified by the low cost of use and the small budget of the devices. The new unicycles of 2021 especially stand out from the rest. The device is an electric unicycle, on the sides of which there are footrests for riding. Balance is maintained by built-in gyroscopes. The device is small in size and suitable for our roads: from new asphalt to worn-out primer. In this article, we have compiled for you a rating of the best unicycles according to users for 2021.

What to look for when choosing a unicycle?

We consider just a few characteristics to be the most basic. Without their correct analysis, you will get something unclear, and not the best unicycle:

1. Speed
2. Battery capacity
3. Weight
4. Transmission Diameter

Speed

All unicycles can be divided according to maximum and running speed:

- slow, about 13 km/h on average. More expensive models can deliver more than 15 km at maximum;

- average, for which the optimal indicator is 16-20 km/h. The maximum starts from 20 km/h;

- fast, which can show 30 km or more on the speedometer when accelerating.

Battery strength

How long your vehicle will travel through a populated area depends on this. Manufacturers produce models from 99 Wh to 1000 Wh. The price of the wheel and its weight also depend on the strength. For beginners or those who are afraid to buy a “pig in a poke”, the recommended power is from 240 Wh to 340 Wh. Such a wheel is not very heavy and will give about 20 km/h on asphalt.

Device weight

The main part of the weight is the battery. The average weight of the battery alone is 10-12 kg. The less the drive weighs, the more maneuverable and faster your unicycle will be.

Chassis diameter

Wheels come in different sizes: from 5 to 18-20 inches. Large ones are characterized by high speed, but low maneuverability. Lightweight options handle well, but you won’t be able to ride much on dirt roads. Take something in between for yourself - 14-16 inch wheels will be plenty. It is also worth selecting a device based on your body weight, because it may simply not support the driver:

— for a weight less than 60 kg, a 14-inch wheel is suitable;

- up to 100 kg - 16 inches;

- from 100 and above - 16-18 inches or more.

So, for an average vehicle, the optimal ones would be: a 16-inch wheel, a speed of 30 km/h and a weight of about 20 kg. The rest depends on the individual needs of the buyer.
