As electric unicycles become more popular, it goes without saying that some people will want to use the things off-road. InMotion's V11 is designed with that in mind, as it features 2.75 inches (70 mm) of air-sprung suspension travel.
Along with its suspension, the vehicle also has an 18 by 3-inch tire, a 2,200-watt motor that takes it to a top speed of 31 mph (50 km/h), and a 1,500-Wh/84-volt lithium battery pack that's reportedly good for a range of up to 75 miles (121 km) per 10-hour charge – the charge time goes down to five hours if two chargers are simultaneously used in the V11's dual charging ports.
Other features include LED front and rear lighting (including a brake light), a flip-up handle that allows the unicycle to be rolled alongside the user like a wheeled suitcase, and a built-in kickstand. The whole thing is dust- and water-resistant, weighs 60 lb (27 kg), and can accommodate riders weighing up to 265 lb (120 kg).
The InMotion V11 is available for preorder now – a US$500 deposit is required up front, with the balance of the $1,999 retail price to be invoiced later on. Shipping should take place at the end of the month.

Potential buyers might also want to check out the Kingsong KS-S18 electric unicycle. Available for preorder at a price of $2,845, it features 2.25 inches (57 mm) of air-sprung suspension, a top speed of about 31 mph (50 km/h) and a claimed range of 100 km (62 miles) per charge.
