I bought the 18XL as my first EUC and mainly with the purpose of commuting to work. I have been loving it so far. It's very stable with a low centre of gravity which is great for learning. I am about 205lb before gear and it still powers me up some good hills without much trouble. It's good on paved surfaces and can handle some rain no problem. Not really suitable for going off road. Lot's of fun to ride around town and very easy to roll alongside in and out of the office with the large tall trolley handle.

I'm a 43 year old man who is 6'2" and weighs 235 lbs. This thing gets me to and from work every day and I'm so happy I bought it. I was so hesitant at first but that melted away with the ever increasing confidence I have on the wheel. I love this thing and I'm so glad I didn't settle for the scooter I went in to buy. (No scooter hate yall but EUCs rule). I'll own a wheel until I can no longer roll on one. So much fun. Also if you're worried about power, this wheel takes me up a monster hill every single day and it bounces off the speed limiter on the way up. If you're on the fence at all I totally get it and I was there. You'll understand the hype when you feel comfortable on the wheel and you'll get comfy on it in no time.

Love my new ride... saving money on gas. Touring all over the bike paths. So easy to learn... I took mine to the park and practiced on grass till I got it down. Two weeks and I’m able to go anywhere now.

One of the best starter wheels there is!! Kingsong priorities safety so i knew i was making the right decision. Also how can i not when 3 of my friends all have it 😂.

I am the person who originally described the KS18XL as the Honda Accord of Electric Unicycles. The description is apt because the KS18XL has excellent build quality, great reliability, and riding comfort. Get the XL pedals for sure. I use this wheel to teach people to ride - it can handle being dropped no problem - and encourage them to choose this as a first wheel because it has the power, range and quality to keep them happily riding without having to upgrade. It is daunting for new riders to drop $2500 on an EUC but it actually saves money in the long term because if you buy anything less than a KS18XL - or KS16X if you want something a little more sporty but of equal quality - you outgrow it quickly and end up dropping the same wad of cash a few months later. The KS18XL will allow you to participate in all but the longest group rides, is an excellent commuter vehicle (torrential downpours are no problem for the KS18xL), easy to roll into stores and onto transit because of the Kingsong brand's best trolley handle design, and is fun as hell. Also has great resale value because of its excellent quality and combination of features. I painted mine red and keep riding it regularly even though I now own a Veteran Sherman (which I also love). The KS18XL is just an excellent bombing around town wheel because it is nimble and powerful and free of range anxiety for all but the longest of rides. New riders - jump right in and get a KS18XL. Experienced riders, to ride it is to love it.
