The world’s first shock-absorbing unicycle aims at radically reinventing last-mile transportation

Meet the ELectric Unicycle V11 – the world’s first shock-absorbing unicycle! Its rather unusual design gives you something that’s as adrenaline-rushing as a skateboard, with the smooth ride comfort of a motorcycle, and the overall riding demeanor of a hoverboard. A winner of this year’s iF Design Award, the ELectric Unicycle V11 sports a handle on top, making it easy to carry around wherever you go, and pop-out footrests that allow it to go from a handheld device to an electric mode of transport.

Designed for fun short trips and last-mile commutes, the ELectric Unicycle V11 is compact and flexible, with two modes of riding – a comfort mode, and a classic mode. The vehicle, much like a hoverboard or a Segway, intelligently detects body movements and shifts in your CG to control balance, direction, and acceleration. Air pressure damping alleviates the shock caused by rough terrain, making riding more comfortable and casual. Heck, it even comes with a motorbike-grade headlight and a taillight to make it legit enough to drive/ride on roads!

The ELectric Unicycle V11 is a winner of the iF Design Award for the year 2021.
