Leaperkim’s First 126V Extreme Performance Electric Unicycle
All Terrain 18″ One Wheel
Power, durability, and comfort are the key traits that can be used to describe the highly anticipated 126V Veteran Patton electric unicycle. The Patton is a performance powerhouse and the latest flagship suspension electric unicycle from Leaperkim, a Chinese premium electric vehicle company specializing in one-wheeled personal mobility.
The Patton has a riding range of up to 70 miles on a single charge, thanks to its high-quality 2220 WH Samsung 50E battery pack. This heavyweight wheel has an aviation-grade aluminum alloy body that weighs 89 pounds. It also has anti-collision battery cases and a mid-mounted oil-based suspension system with 80mm of travel that makes riding over rough terrain as smooth as possible.
The Veteran Patton is one of the wheels with the best performance and excitement for 2023. EUC riders say that Patton’s torque is the peak of raw performance, and the quality of its construction could make it a massive hit in the EUC community. Let’s look at all the specs, features, and design decisions that make this the ultimate daily commuter and long-range adventurer wheel.

Features:
The Patton features are designed to give this industrial wheel an all-terrain design with useful everyday amenities.
- Display: The updated top-mounted parameter display has a more extensive interface, shows more technical parameters, has a two-layer inner and outer cover, and is better protected from rain.
- Trolley Handle: Leaperkim chose a classic studier handle over the newer folding style. These built-in handles are firmer, adjustable in height, and sturdier by design.
- Jumping Aide: The new front-mounted help gives you more control when going over rougher terrain. Leaperkim is the first to introduce this style of adjustable module. Please be aware that the Patton can’t reach its full potential without jumping pads that you buy separately. Leaperkim has not released side pads for this iteration. We stock aftermarket side pads that can be velcroed on the side panels for more control.
- Spiked Pedals: The adjustable pedals are made of Magnesium alloy, which makes them more durable, and they have loaded tension to make them more stable and stop them from flapping around when you’re getting on or off. The spikes have been improved from the last Sherman-S iteration and allow for more grip during acceleration and braking.
- External Buzzer: The external speaker will notify if the wheel is on a lower battery or near cut-out/brown-out speeds and loads. Riders can expect buzzing and tilt back when reaching lower battery voltages (97V, 94.5V, 87V)
- Lighting: 2000LM dual 18W headlights, a rear taillight, and auto-turning signals allow riders to see and be seen in day and night riding conditions. The lighting package on the Patton is some of the brightest lamps on the current market, allowing for safer riding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is entirely dependent on who you ask. Patton enthusiasts require only a 2.2KWH battery pack, whereas Sherman riders require a 3.6KWH battery pack. Both wheels have the same motor, similar suspension, and a durable shell. The price point and battery pack are where they differ. The Sherman-S has a 61% larger battery pack and a significantly extended range than the Patton.
On the other hand, the Patton is 25% less expensive and has a 126V battery pack. Each model serves a different purpose, usually broken down by who wants to go the longest distance versus who wants to make the steeper hill climbs.
While Leaperkim claims a top speed of 50+ mph, early GPS tests of the Patton show it tops out at around 45+ mph. We’ll update this section once we get more field test results from these wheels.
The riding range of the Veteran Patton electric unicycle varies depending on several factors, including the rider’s total weight, acceleration style, local terrain, temperature, and battery voltage.
However, with its standard Samsung battery pack, the 2,220WH Veteran Patton can travel up to 70 miles on a single charge. EUC riders can realistically expect about 60% of the marketed riding range.
The Veteran Patton electric unicycle is quite heavy due to its durability, aluminum chassis, suspension system, and high-performance components. The Veteran Patton was designed by Leaperkim and weighed approximately 89 lbs out of the box, making it one of the heaviest 18″ wheels on the market.
The unicycle’s weight is due to its sturdy aluminum construction, powerful 3KW high torque motors, large 2.2KWH battery pack, and other high-end components. While the weight can make carrying or transporting it difficult in real life, it also provides stability and safety when riding at high speeds or on rough terrain.
The Veteran Patton electric unicycle’s average cruising speed can vary depending on the rider’s weight, riding style, roadways, and battery condition. However, on flat surfaces, the Veteran Patton can achieve a cruising speed of around 30-40 mph and a top speed of up to 50 mph in certain conditions.
The Veteran Patton is a high-performance electric unicycle designed for adrenaline seekers, but it’s essential always to follow local laws and regulations regarding personal electric vehicles and ride safely.
The charging time for the Veteran Patton electric unicycle varies depending on the battery pack’s capacity and the charging method used. However, using the standard charger with the unicycle, it takes approximately 6-7 hours to fully charge the standard battery pack of the Veteran Patton.
The optional fast charger can reduce charging time to 4-5 hours. It is important to note that ambient temperature, battery age, and charging conditions affect charging time. When setting the Veteran Patton, it is recommended that you follow Leaperkim’s instructions and safety guidelines and avoid overcharging the battery to extend its lifespan.
The Veteran Patton electric unicycle has a maximum load capacity of 320 lbs. It is important to note, however, that the weight limit can vary depending on various factors such as riding conditions, terrain, and the weight distribution of the rider and any additional accessories.
Exceeding the maximum load capacity can hurt the unicycle’s performance and safety, causing damage to the components and reducing the unicycle’s lifespan. To ensure the best performance and longevity of the Veteran Patton electric unicycle, adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety instructions, and ride within the weight limit. We recommend the Begode EX30 or Sherman-S for much heavier riders.
A single BLDC motor in the center of the unicycle powers the Veteran Patton electric unicycle. Leaperkim, the company that makes the Veteran line of electric unicycles, designed and manufactured the motors.
With a combined peak power output of up to 7,000 watts, the Veteran Patton’s motors are powerful and high-performance, allowing the unicycle to achieve fast acceleration and high speeds and climb steep hills with ease.
The motors also use regenerative braking, which recharges the battery pack while braking and extends the unicycle range. The engine is also powered by Leaperkim’s 126V electric speed controller, which uses 24XMOSFETS and can handle a peak load of 680A!
Fastace mid-mount hydraulic suspension is used on the Veteran Patton electric unicycle to provide a comfortable and smooth ride even on rough terrain. On the most uneven roads, the suspension system consists of adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers with 80mm travel.
Suspension systems are designed to absorb road surface shocks and vibrations while providing excellent rider stability and control at high speeds. The suspension settings on the Veteran Patton can be adjusted to suit the rider’s preferences and the riding conditions, making it a versatile and customizable electric unicycle.
Yes, when compared to other 100V models on the market, the Veteran Patton electric unicycle is considered to be an expensive electric unicycle. The Veteran Patton’s price varies depending on region and dealer, but it generally ranges from $3,000 to $3,100 USD.
The high price reflects the unicycle’s high-end components, including powerful 7KW motors, a long-range Samsung battery, advanced features like the mid-mounted suspension system, aluminum chassis, and powerful 24XMOSFET controller system. The Veteran Patton is intended for enthusiasts who want to invest in a high-performance, long-lasting electric unicycle that offers a thrilling and comfortable ride.
However, before purchasing, consider the cost-benefit ratio and make sure the unicycle fits your needs and budget. Comparable models include the Veteran Sherman-S, King Song S22, and Begode EX30.
