Based in NYC, Kaiden is a Software Engineer who loves talking about delicious food, Thai boxing, grappling arts, and fast electric vehicles. His main go-to weekend must-haves were mouthwatering pizza, cheesy burgers, snappy unicycles, and ice-cold libations. Although lately, he’s been consuming unsalted air fryer chicken, filtered tap water, and green smoothies, walking to work because he’s in his late 30s and his metabolism just isn’t the same. He is finally accepting it.
Do you want more top speed, torque, and range? 2KW Electric Unicycles are ideal for the task.

EUC Glossary Terms
Terms Adapted from Jason of eWheels
- Cruising Speed: The maximum manufacturer-designed speed for a 70kg rider on a level, smooth road with no audible warnings. From 100 percent to 33% battery capacity, this should be the average speed.
- Max Sustained Speed: Unlike cruising speed, this is the speed at which the wheel can be ridden “safely” with minimal chance of power cut-outs, but after the [first] auditory alarm has gone off.
- Maximum Speed: The highest speed at which there is still a margin of safety (e.g. 3 kph) before the power cuts out (same criteria as above). Unlike cruising speed, it can be a “peak” figure when the battery pack is fully charged. Max Speed does not apply to wheels with a pedal tilt rearward more than 15 degrees.
- Braking Distance: The distance a 70 kg rider must travel to come to a complete stop from a speed of 16 km/h (a speed at which most Wheels should be able to reach)
- Range: Continued riding with a 70kg rider on a flat and smooth course until the EU sounds the ‘get off now’ warning. The manufacturer has the option of conducting the test at any speed, but must state so on the results.
- Sustained Power is the constant mechanical motor power rating that does not put the battery pack, control board, or motor at risk of harm.
- Peak power is the maximum output of a mechanical motor for a period of no more than 10 seconds. The battery pack, control board, and motor may be subjected to some temporary’stress,’ but no irreparable damage or degradation should occur.
- Wh Rating: the EU’s useable Wh, defined as the energy available from a fully charged cell down to the BMS/control-cut-off board’s level.
- Maximum incline: in degrees, to support a 70kg cyclist up a 10m slope (at a minimum).
Charging time: the amount of time it takes to fully charge a battery after it has been entirely discharged.
