2022 Leaperkim Veteran Sherman MAX Electric Unicycle: What We Know So Far

Adrenaline Soaking, High Torque Ripping, Lightning Striking, Heavy-Weight 3600WH Extreme Performance Electric Unicycle

More Journey than destination

When the rubber meets the road, pedals tilt, coils energize, poles repel, the rims revolve, and you’re off. At the very least, that is the aim. For people like us, who thrive in the fast lane, we want high-quality machines. Rapid acceleration demands 100V 3600WH batteries, 2800W rated high-torque motors, reliable electronics, and trusted wheels for the style of riding we undertake.

My little gripe with the Sherman OG

The Sherman OG’s off-the-line acceleration was one of my most outstanding complaints. To put it simply, it was sluggish at first, but once it got up to speed (about 10-15 mph), this beast would fly all day.

I’ve never been a big off-roader or hill climber, and there aren’t many high climbs in NYC, but others have complained about the Sherman on steep hills in SF and off-road. That has all changed recently. With the relaunch of the Sherman Max, Leaperkim engineering has addressed those shortcomings.

Veteran Sherman MAX: 86 lbs, 45+ mph, 144 Miles Max Range

The 20″ Veteran Sherman MAX can carry riders past 45+ mph and cover a maximum range of 144 miles on a single charge, eliminating the need for cars, buses, or subways. For outsiders looking in, it’s almost unnecessary. 3600wh is a lot of firepower. It’s unlikely that a single person could use that much range in a day, but you never know.

The Max is a big deal, weighing 83 pounds and featuring a 2800w engine and a 100V 3600wh Samsung 50E 21700 battery pack. The Max will set you back $3,799 all in. Only the most daring and devoted would desire or spend the money on such a massive wheel.

Credit card will be hurting, but you’ll recover soon.

You can’t put a price on fun time and money saving, environmentally friendly personal electric vehicle

Even though the Max is the most expensive wheel on the market, I’d say that, as a Sherman owner myself, it has the performance capabilities, features, and LeaperKim build quality to warrant its premium price tag. But $3,800 is a big jump from the $2,700 I paid for my V2 Sherman.

The main differences are an entirely new drivetrain, an extra 400wh pack to keep your battery juice-juicy, and, let’s not forget, the new coveted 2.8KW motor with super-sized 10AWG phase wires.
