How do they stack up? We’ve thrown some numbers at you, but of course there is much more to consider than raw specs alone.

Generally speaking, a stronger motor and bigger batteries = more safety, especially for heavier riders. However, there can be trade-offs that come with the highest performing electric unicycles such as much heavier weight. Acceleration response and braking distance are noticeably affected with the heavier EUCs and even more so with larger wheel diameters.

Luckily there are some great options today in the 16” 2000W range for those who want the high end performance and torque in a not-too-bulky package.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are a lot of people that don’t need tons of range and high-speed performance who would rather have a more convenient and portable package with a smaller, lighter EUC. While they lose out on raw power, they do get to enjoy a vastly “punchier” and nuanced performance at slower speeds and much improved stopping distances.
