46.6 miles from a 35 lb wheel.
The V8S is the sweet spot for anyone who wants real distance without a heavy machine. A 728 Wh pack, a 1000 W motor and a 16-inch tyre deliver almost 47 miles at 35 lb — the range-to-weight ratio nothing else in the range matches.
Why riders pick the V8S
Range per pound — and the four things that actually matter once the spec sheet is put down.
47 miles on a 728 Wh pack
The V8S is the efficiency play: a modest 728 Wh battery using BAK 21700 cells returns a manufacturer-stated 46.6 miles. For a daily commute that means charging twice a week, not every night.
35 lb — still a one-hand wheel
Only 7.6 lb more than the V6, but with a 16-inch tyre, nearly three times the battery and a 21.7 mph ceiling. The step up in stability is worth far more than the extra weight.
1000 W nominal, 2000 W peak
65 N·m of torque and a 30° gradient limit get you up car-park ramps and short climbs without derating. It is not a performance wheel, but it never feels underpowered in a city.
IP54 body, rear brake light
Splash-rated for wet commutes, with a rear brake light that actually gets brighter under braking — useful in traffic, and rare at this price point.
Technical specifications
1 Manufacturer-stated maximum speed. Factory speed is limited until unlocked in the INMOTION app. Never ride above the speed permitted by local law.
2 Manufacturer-stated range measured under controlled conditions — full charge, moderate rider weight, mild temperature, flat ground. Real range varies with rider weight, speed, terrain, temperature, tyre pressure and riding style.
Specifications are published by INMOTION and may be revised without notice. Imperial figures are shown as published; 1 lb = 0.454 kg, 1 mile = 1.609 km.
What's in the box

Accessories vary slightly by production batch. If a specific item matters to your order, message us before you buy and we will confirm what ships.
Suspension, charging and battery care
This model is a rigid wheel with no suspension. That is a deliberate weight and cost decision — if you want suspension, the V9 (60 mm), V11Y, V12S and V14 Pro all offer it.
- Charge to 80% for storage. Leaving a pack at 100% for weeks accelerates calendar ageing. Charge to full the night before a long ride, not every night.
- Never charge a cold pack fast. Below about 5 °C, charge at the lowest available current and let the pack warm to room temperature first.
- Use the charger that came with it. Every INMOTION pack has a BMS, but the BMS is a last line of defence — not a licence to feed it an unknown supply.
- Check tyre pressure monthly. Low pressure is the most common cause of rim damage and the most common reason an owner reports "the range is worse than advertised".
Warranty & support
Every INMOTION V8S we ship is a genuine INMOTION unit with the factory serial intact. Warranty claims are handled by us — diagnostics, parts sourcing and replacement coordination all run through our side, so you are not asked to post a complete wheel back across an ocean to prove a fault exists.
Coverage periods and what counts as wear-and-tear vary by market and by component (tyres, pads and bearings are consumables; the motor, controller and battery are not). Message us before ordering and we will confirm the exact terms for your country in writing.
Shipping worldwide
- Free shipping on orders over $99 — every wheel on this page qualifies.

- Import duties and taxes: where they are prepaid at checkout we say so before you pay; where they are not, they are collected by the carrier on delivery.
- Batteries ship as Class 9 dangerous goods — some destinations and carriers are restricted. If your country is not offered at checkout, message us and we will quote a route.
Frequently asked questions
QIs 46.6 miles realistic?
That figure is a manufacturer test result at moderate speed and rider weight. At a steady 20 mph on flat ground, most riders see roughly 30–38 miles. Cold weather and hills cut it further.
QHow does it compare with the V10F?
The V10F is heavier (45 lb) but faster (25 mph) with a 960 Wh pack and 2000 W nominal motor. If you want to cruise above 20 mph, take the V10F. If you want the lightest way to ride 40+ miles, take the V8S.
QDoes it have suspension?
No. The V8S is a rigid 16-inch wheel — which is part of why it stays at 35 lb.
QWhat cells does it use?
A 20S2P pack of BAK 21700 5000 mAh cells. BAK is a tier-one Chinese cell maker; this is not a budget no-name pack.
QCan I charge it at work?
Yes, with the supplied 84 V / 1.5 A charger. A full charge takes six hours, so a half-day at a desk adds roughly half a pack.
Ride within the law and within your ability. Electric unicycle regulations differ from country to country and often from city to city — speed limits, helmet requirements, minimum age and whether they may be used on public roads at all. Check the rules where you ride before you ride. Always wear a certified helmet; wrist, knee and elbow protection are strongly recommended.
