KingSong 16S V2 840Wh

Kingsong 16S Electric Unicycle

The Kingsong 16S represents the ideal intersection of power, range, ride comfort, and safety in the 16-inch EUC category. It’s a workhorse capable of handling most everyday scenarios, with enough refinement to keep more experienced riders happy. Riders seeking ultra-fast or ultra-light wheels might look elsewhere, but for the majority, it offers a “just right” Goldilocks experience—solid speed, practical range, premium comfort, and a track record of reliability from a reputable brand.

Target Audience

The Kingsong 16S V2 is perfectly suited for:

• Beginners to Mid-Level Riders: Those looking to start without the need to upgrade soon or upgrade from entry-level 14” wheels to something with more power, comfort, and range for daily riding.
• Urban & Suburban Commuters: Riders needing a balance of portability and long-range capability, especially those in cities or suburban neighbourhoods.
• All-Rounders: Anyone wanting one EUC to handle daily tasks, light trails, and weekend adventures without segmenting their fleet.

Pros

• Versatility: The 16S V2 transitions smoothly from urban commuting to recreational weekend rides. Its power and wheel size allow for negotiating hills, uneven pavement, and city obstacles.
• Practical Range: More than enough for daily commutes, errand runs, or extended joyrides, minimising range anxiety.
• Reliable Safety Suite: Audible alarms, tilt-back safety features, and a large visible headlamp keep the rider informed and visible, even at night or high speeds.
• Commuter-Friendly Comfort: Improved padding, grippy pedals, and a stable platform significantly reduce fatigue over longer distances.
• Build Quality: Kingsong is renowned for its durable construction. The 16S is no exception, featuring reinforced plastics and premium components.

Cons

• Lack of Suspension: While the large tire absorbs some shocks, it lacks the suspension systems now appearing on some modern EUCs—making extremely rough terrain less comfortable.
• Not Top-Tier for Speed Junkies: With a 35 km/h cap, it won’t satisfy adrenaline-seeking riders who crave the 40+ km/h speed of larger, more expensive “beast” wheels.
• No Water Resistance Certification: While the shell is weather-resistant, there is no official IP rating for serious rain or submersion.

Key Features

• Motor & Battery: The 16S V2 comes equipped with a 1200W motor (max peak up to 3000W), and an 840Wh battery. This combination delivers an impressive balance of speed, torque, and range.
• Range & Speed: Real-world range of up to 70 km per charge for conservative riders, with most commuters averaging 40-55 km. The top speed is 35 km/h, with built-in alarms and tilt-back for safety.
• 16-Inch Wheel: The 16” tire provides a perfect middle ground between agility and comfort, handling both city streets and light trails with confidence.
• Portability: At 17.4 kg, it is featherweight. The well-designed telescopic trolley handle makes walking with the unicycle easy when not riding.
• Side Padding & Ergonomics: Upgraded ergonomic side pads and sandpaper grip pedals greatly improve control and comfort, even for long-distance rides.
• Lighting & Connectivity: High-intensity front and rear lighting, along with elegant RGB side LEDs, increase safety on the road. The integrated Bluetooth speakers deliver decent audio for music or navigation. The Kingsong mobile app enables firmware updates, diagnostics, and light customisation.

Standout qualities: balanced specs, leading ride comfort, and a commuter-friendly design set it apart from similar wheels.
