Electric unicycles (EUCs) are single-wheel, self-balancing personal electric vehicles that use gyroscopic sensors and onboard control systems to maintain stability. Riders accelerate, brake, and steer by shifting their body weight rather than using handlebars or mechanical controls. EUCs typically feature a compact design with a built-in motor, rechargeable battery system, and foot platforms on either side of the wheel. Many modern models include suspension systems, high-capacity batteries, powerful motors, advanced lighting, and smart connectivity for monitoring performance or customizing ride settings.
These devices are commonly used for commuting, recreational riding, and long-distance touring thanks to their portability, efficiency, and impressive range. EUCs appeal to riders who want a unique blend of maneuverability, speed, and compact form factor that can navigate both urban and open outdoor environments. As technology evolves, electric unicycles continue to push the boundaries of performance and practicality within the personal electric mobility space.
The Gotway RS19 (High Speed Version) is an electric unicycle (EUC) designed for both speed enthusiasts and hill climbers, featuring a new 2600W hollow bore motor for improved power delivery and smoothness, a lower pedal height for increased stability at speed, and wider, more comfortable pedals. It is equipped with bright strip LED lighting and a dual 6000 lumen headlight, making it suitable for visibility and night riding. The shell is chunkier and wider to accommodate the new motor design, and comes with a CST 18x3 tire optimized for straight-line speed. This wheel targets riders upgrading from previous Gotway models like the MSX/MSP or anyone seeking a powerful, well-rounded EUC.
The Gotway Nikola is a high-performance electric unicycle (EUC) known for its comfort, versatility, and range. It features a 16-inch, 3-inch wide tire, available in 84V 1600Wh or 2100Wh, and 100V 1845Wh or 1800Wh battery options. The Nikola excels in long-range and all-terrain riding, offering cruising speeds from 25-35mph depending on the battery version, RGB lights for night riding, and premium Bluetooth speakers. Its notable shortcomings include a heavy and awkward-to-carry chassis, a fiddly trolley handle, and difficult tire changes. Preferred by both experienced and adventurous beginners, the Nikola is appreciated for its stable ride, advanced features, and robust build.
