Is that quite reasonable? This is the question we ask ourselves when discovering the performance of the last electric monowheel V13 Challenger what just announced InMotion. According to the Chinese manufacturer, this is the electric monowheel fastest in the world, capable of reaching 140 km/h in speed peak.
To achieve this performance, the V13 Challenger has a 3,024 Wh battery and a 4,500 W electric motor that delivers 10 kW of peak power and 300 Nm of torque. To withstand these accelerations and provide adequate stability, the single-wheel is fitted with a double pneumatic suspension 90 mm travel with adjustable firmness. It is mounted on a 22-inch all-terrain tire and weighs 50kg. The idea of moving at such a pace balanced on a gyro has something to shudder. Still, InMotion claims its gear is “ super stable and comfortable at high speeds. It’s a Cadillac “.
Another specificity, the V13 Challenger has two ports that combine a power of 1,764 watts and allow a recharge in 2.5 hours. In terms of price, this racing car for trompe-la-mort is displayed at 4,600 dollars, i.e. a price almost equivalent in euros to the current price.
