- The MTen3 is the Smallest ELECTRIC UNICYCLE you can but, but is this LUNCHBOX size wheel any good?
Working my way back to some of the more classic older wheels from Gotway's back catalog this week and a nice contrast with my usual extreme high performance electric unicycle review. I am going to tell you why I don't think this is an EUC beginner should consider and why it may actually be a good wheel to buy for more experience riders!

If I had to keep one wheel it would be the Mten3. Most use this as a trick wheel, or for the kids, however its true gift is on the pavement at walking speed, you can go into shops, ride in crowds, put it in the locker at the gym, etc. Ride at 3-5mph and you can cover a whole city and still have 30% at least left. Do not underestimate the Mten3.
I weigh 190#. Lasted 2 weeks, less than 20 miles. Junk. Never beat or got over 12 mph. Not comfortable enough, rides like toy. Will not last. Backpack works, why I bought it. If you buy it, carry the backpack with you, easier to carry home after your ride stops...
Finally, more reviews on affordable euc. Not everybody has 2k to drop
Love mine, it makes a great car wheel. This is my second, charges fast. I had mine up to 27 mph.
Red Clark pedals 🔥👈🏻
I'd like to see a modern 500w version of the IPS I5 with the similar form factor and low key styling. I've got a Ninebot one S2 and its performance and range is fine for me but its doesnt have a headlight and the styling is a bit flashy and draws a lot of attension (nearly all of it positive though) I feel like a bit of a clown on a bright white sci-fi spaceship looking thing.
A new IPS I5 which matches the Ninebot One S2's performance in the original I5's form factor and similar styling would be perfect for me
For real, the IPS i5 is so cool!!
the laptop looking wheel?
It is a very powerfull EUC for its size. I love my Mten3. Great for a last mile commute. It is smaller and faster than my Inmotion V5f.
Great Timing!. I just had this wheel delivered on Saturday. Its been a lot of fun to ride so far. This is my 4th wheel and feels different from all the rest lol
Mten3 Absolutely one of my favorite wheels. So maneuverable and fun. I learned to ride backwards and do spins on this wheel. Can take a ton of abuse, but I don’t jump it. Not great for potholes or crappy pavement. Better for smooth pavement and parking lots. Fun on the short track.
This seems like the perfect wheel for a college student that lives near or on campus. This could be tucked away neatly under a desk, in a bag, or a small dorm.
the mcm is much more useful for this. larger wheel diameter for sidewalks and bigger battery and motor power = safety
@@Blox117 Agreed, that is the model I went with for portability.
This is what I use it for and it's perfect! There's no better campus cruiser than the MTEN3
Can confirm. I lived on campus this year and dailied my mten3 (for some reason security and faculty didn't like it tho smh)
Wow, little dip causes it to cut off and fall? - That's a major dangerous flaw, cuz I had multiple experiences of sudden dips on path on my Kingsong KS14 and I passed them all with no problem, albeit I get surprised by sudden bump, but I could continue driving normally without losing any balance at all.
Coincidentally, I just got this wheel a couple of weeks ago! Love it!
Nice. People get caught up in the big wheel hype but some variety is good. Different wheels for different purposes.
@@CrunchyTire yes the mten3 is either my favorite wheel or 2nd favorite out of the 5 wheels I’ve had (v8, Tesla v2, s18, v11). Not interested in the super fast wheels. I prefer a motorcycle for those speeds.
Cut out on KingSong ks18 over powered it on The concrete wear your helmet wouldn’t hurt to grab a chest Protector. Not over kill cover those elbows Hindsight is a bi$&” 30 is nothing to play with!!!!
If we could just get a mini v12 for the next v8 update I would be thrilled. 18-30 mph, 25-40 lbs, 15-25 miles range, 3 hrs to 80% is the perfect city commuter. More than that is a road cruiser for long commutes.
I love this wheel. I’ve even taken it off road (mostly smoothish dirt) and it can do some insane steep inclines off road due to its torque as well. I also use it from office to car lot (park far away). It’s very versatile! Oh, I also use it as a dog walker!
You're missing out on a few. Going to the mailbox, Couch to refrigerator, working out on the treadmill. 😀
@@greenwave819
taking a shower, dinner and movies, going to bed
Seems like a logical choice for youngsters, at any rate. My 12-yr-old self would have been thrilled to pieces to get this for x-mas present
For a small kid maybe, but if they can manage a 14" wheel I think that will still be a better choice for the same price for better stability!
@@OWGAC the begode mcm5v2.. such an underrated wheel. But it beats the V8 and the V10 in my opinion
800wh, and lot of torque.
Speakers, solidity, 40kmh !
Got two for my kids. And I too use it often
I tried to teach my 12 year old brother to ride it and I swear that kid has 2 left feet. By his age I could ride anything with wheels on it, and somethings without wheels, but all he's ridden is a dang bicycle. Kids today and their fornites not getting out there tearing up construction zones on their rideables.
I wish the IPS i5 was still for sale :/
I wouldn't recommend it, the build quality on the IPS i5 is terrible. But I do wish another company would try to build a modern EUC that is just as light and thin
Did you play that chef alien in MIB 3 by anychance? Lol
My 6 year old rides my 67v mten3 with me. She would say it’s hers.
I used it to learn how to ride backward before riding my larger wheels backward.

isn't that will's mten????
Nice!!!!!
forget it hsiang. i saw the whole video and got my answer...
Thanks for comparing to other wheels, did not know the IPS i5 model. Just what I am looking for, slim portable light wheel! 👍 6:07 - "easier to fry", what is that?
Which EUC would you recommend for a first timer...I weigh 240 pounds and I'm 5'9
I have a V8F, and i bought it as a first wheel because i knew that it'd stay in the "stable" later on: it's much more practical than a 90 pounds Sherman (that i use for real "rides") to go get food or mail. Bit low on performance, but...it's what it is.
I've literally been waiting for years to see someone release an updated IPS I5, but all the companies just keep getting bigger and heavier. I already have an S18 and Master to cover medium and large, but there's literally nothing currently on the market that's super slim and under 20lbs. The 14-in wheel also helps to make it less squirrely than the Mten3. I believe solid state batteries will be helpful in introducing new smaller form factors. Can't wait.
Hitting a pothole on that tiny thing 😫
⚡ *The only EUC I would consider ridin regularly* 😂⚡
Super portable 🤙🏼🤙🏼
This is my favorite wheel. It's even more fun with the more rounded profile. It isn't slow compared to OneWheels
First wheel ever, mten 67v, second wheel ever, mten3 84v. At 1000lm on both the axel and or pedal hangar snapped. This wheel needs an update and then I'll but two more
yeah that axle is unfortunately the only major downside to this wheel
Was it your i5 video, the ride between Manhattan & Queens? I was so impressed -- and then disappointed to see it was no longer for sale. I wish they would update it!
This wheel looks so useful, discrete and portable and also light. For 500 I would get one but the small wheel diameter and asking for 1k they are insane
It has similar, if not better, specs to scooters in the same price range.
@@birdness and you're on a scooter tyre trying not to faceplant due to a small pothole
Haha love hate relationship with mten3. Go to the store drop it in those tiny plastic rolling carts. Replacement tires are hit or miss and can deform where you end up riding lopsided which is not fun. Cobblestone or rough surfaces awful. Sliding it under the metro seat perfect. Charges fast 2 hrs. 20+mph and you need to choose a religion if not on perfect asphalt. A bit slower and it's kind of like flying through. Fun scary but could have better tires but 10kg so not very heavy so practical for commuting to the office from metro shopping trips while holdig bags of groceries 😂.
The shoulder strap idea is a pretty good one.
Bonjour 👋
La fiabilité pour nos wheels
UNION WHEELERS……….
I just bought it to use as a subway commute wheel
Had it for a while and loved it. But had to down size my collection.
But its so small and easily hidden from the wife?! LOL =D
omg, carrying a wheel while riding your large wheel... now that's some batman shit
@11:15 receives very disapproving look from lady at sidewalk cafe! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello! Nice pedals! Where did you found them? I have a Mten3 also, and use it with satisfaction for my daily small trips. Thanks for your good job!!
I just picked up one for my Daughter yesterday. Let's see if I actually let go of it and give it to her LOL. JK, pretty sure it would not last long under my 250lb frame.
Thank you for the thorough review of the wheel and also for the comparison against the IPS i5! I'm still riding my i5 and have been keeping my eye on the MTen3 for a couple of years now wondering whether it would be a worthy upgrade. The i5 is still going but it is a very slow wheel. In that sense I was happily surprised by this video by how well it fits my situation! After watching this I'm still not 100% convinced on getting an Mten3 but continue keep an eye on it! Highly informative, thanks again!
I did own a KS16X but sold it away as I found myself commuting more short distances. I kind of wish there was a "maturity upgrade" to the Mten3 or a brand new small wheel made of good materials, had more utilitarian design and decent performance. I really like the i5 but I feel IPS might have sacrificed too much performance (to my taste) by aiming for the slimmest EUC of the world. With the new bigger wheels ditching the RGB lighting and slowly moving away from the plasticky looks, becoming more serious methods of transportation, I'm hoping there will one day be something small, premium and powerful.
This is what i call micro transport 🙈🙈🙈❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍🥵🥵🥵🥵
I hope begode creates a 12' inch mten3. Size size everything up 2 inches. It would be great.
I daily ride my mten3 even though I also have a commander and a monster pro at my disposal, incredibly underrated wheel
"If you're tired of the endless waiting lists for a new wheel--" and the Mten3 is sold out on Ewheels...
For the mten3, you need a digital tire pump. I check my tire pressure and I couldn't check it a second time using traditional tire pressure checker. It seems like checking tire pressure lower the tire pressure tremendously. Also, it's been six months of riding and I haven't added any additional slime or had any flat. I like these tubeless tire.
I think the new 84v mten3 all had tubeless tire, dealing with a tube on this little guy would be a pain I imagine
Ninja infiltration LMAO I have a pair of those shoes .🤣
Had a 14d for a couple of years and have over 6500 miles on it with no problems and 3 tires
Haha I rode a longboard and penny board in college. This woulda made like sooo much easier lol. Shit any wheel tbh
11:13 This is why we want the highest performance wheel. If he was 190 pounds, this would have happened at the first minute of the video.
This video couldn't come at a better time as I just dusted off my MTen3 and began using it again. Some guys joked I was riding my Playstation 5 so I threw a black cover over it. Sure it's going to put the average Vet Sherman speed demon to sleep at a paltry 25mph, but hey there's a niche for this wheel. Commutes, sidewalk riding, tricks, kids, portability and just plain fun. Where are you going to find a PEV small enough to put into a backpack like that. It's so small and unnoticeable that people think I'm levitating off the ground as I float by them on the sidewalk. As for ride-ability I can't stand the soft setting and always ride with either medium or hard. No need for tilt back either as I will never ride that fast anyway and quite frankly, any sort of tilting really strains the ankles. I suspect this is also what makes it harder for some people to learn to ride. I won’t be going to Connecticut in this thing but I can make maybe a dozen short trips and still have some battery to boot. The downsides really are the very low center of gravity which does make it very tricky and then there’s the wobbliness I frequently get when I go up a bridge. I have no idea why it does that but if anybody knows, feel free to respond.
lol PS5. Now a cool backpack would be one you wouldn't have to take off the wheel when you ride. so it looks like you're riding a backpack haha. Plus that would be handy. Im still searching for my perfect Mten3 backpack. Trying one tomorrow.
@@CrunchyTire
No a cool backpack has extendable straps for carry that retract into the body.
And now the Mten4 steps all that up. Will have mine in a week.
When I had the first batch the my highest speed was 27 mph
MTEN3 is fun wheel. thats all🤙
Please tell me the make and model of the helmet you are wearing. A full face motorcycle helmet is too bulky and frankly weird looking, but bike/skateboard helmets have no chin protection. Yours seems like a pretty good compromise. Please tell me what it is.
It is listed under the video description and I like it for the same reason, but as man had point out its design for downhill skiing and not for streets
I almost bought one of these... Went with the MCM5 v2 instead. I absolutely love that wheel. think its the perfect wheel.
Mten seems great for techinical tricks and fun. MCM5 is still really nimble but much more useable on road and offroad. and its basically the same price depending on which one you get.
Mten is for small people. Makes me wish I was smaller. I would carry it in a bag, like Hsiang, but also I'd speed through the city like Hsiang on S22 :)
while true if u need something 20ish pounds and fits in a bookbag or small locker the mten makes sense
@@danhle1032 very true. it is the most portable EUC out there. Perfect for that last mile convenience.
Only reason why i not buy mten3 is weight limit 🐷😢
Max load is 200 pounds.....im to fat😫
Where'd you get those cool red pedals?
Great wheel until you have to change tire
Ride one and keep another in the backpack 😂
what pedals are those?
Clark
Wouldn't it work as a "sling wheel" if you attached some of those Peak Design anchors to it, for example?
Thank you Hsiang, do you know if IPS still exists? I try to bought spare parts for my IPS i5, but no reply
Are you willing to share what you use for your camera and rig that you use in your videos? I really like the quality of this. Mten is fun, it def is squirrely . Wheel has its uses though. I havent tried soft mode on mine, so ill try that . I use mine to just mess around with in parking lots, flat paved trails, and sometimes large space indoors. Great low speed ride lol To fit in backpack is great. Imagine you take a bus or something, or train and need to get to a destination a little bit faster than walking. Perfect for that purpose
Its my favorite wheel for riding indoors and hotel hallways! And tthanks to my MTen3 my tight turning skills have vastly improved on all my wheels (and those 2 S20s are both dead now, fk KS). th-cam.com/video/WcSqD-C_VRY/w-d-xo.html
Smaller than it appeared in the photo
I've been eyeing this for a long time as a sidewalk-friendly, portable wheel that I can take to the gym, but wish I could try it first. I have a V10 (that I don't use) and a V11 now.
I’m in CT, welcome to try mine
Its great for that. And you just have to understand its limits like not torqueing it to accelerate, and it will treat you well. I sold my V8F because it didn't have a place in my collection with my bigger wheels, but the Mten3 definitely does. I think for most people riding it at 10-15mph is really safe and gives you like a 50% safety margin (use EUC World) so even if you hit a pothole or go up a hill you have more than enough there not to be any problem at all. I ride my other gotways at 20% safety margin. 15mph feels great on the mten3. And the wide tire makes it stable basically standing still. There is a lot of hate around here from inexperienced riders who call it wobbly or that it cutout on them because they pushed it too hard.
I bought one but it's too hard to ride for an old beginner, I wish I'd bought another.
On saying that I did manage to get my balance for the first time, I reckon it's pretty cool. Maybe I'll give it another go.
You've inspired me👍
My lad got straight on and rode it first go! That upset me...
When ordered & when coming??
Thanks for the video! I bought the 67v version and I am glad I went that direction. I have tried the 84v version and I can't really tell the difference aside from top speed. I never want to go above 15MPH on the MTen3 because it is so unstable above that. Consequently I didn't see any reason to opt for a more expensive version just to get more speed you shouldn't be pushing. I used to take the MTen3 to the gym as it fits in the locker easily but I hated how unstable the wheel feels if you are pushing 20MPH. I like just tooting around the park around people going pretty slow like I did with my Onewheel XR. It is a fun wheel but I really didn't enjoy bombing around San Francisco streets with it like I do with my EX.N.
yes you would never notice the difference at 15mph unless you stepped on the acceleration
I want an updated Mten :(
You just got it with the mten4 announced today lol
MTen3 was my first EUC. Still love it. The maneuverability of this little thing will never be matched!
I'm gonna copy Adam and throw it in an backpack while I ride my EX.N :P
Also, this is the MOST compact and potent mode of transportation available on the planet rn I think. Throw this in your car when you leave and this thing can take you MILES down the road to get gas, charge, help, etc. Best $800 I've spent in my life so far I think.
I've been riding for about a month of total time. I bought a V10f to learn on and I'm getting really good on it. I bought a MTEN3 just to practice on and it has accelerate my learning. I won't be teaching the wife on it because it can be so unstable.
This is a niche EUC category that could very well convince me to add an EUC to my arsenal. My Onewheel isn't practical to carry everywhere. I wouldn't need high speed or power in the places I would want to take it. The drawbacks of this particular model plus my inexperience are enough to shy me away but I would love to see others if this particular niche gains enough attention to justify further production. Unfortunately, my inexperience with EUC's prevents me from giving any meaningful insight into what could be improved so I'll just have to wait on the good people of the community such as yourself Jimmy to let us all know when such a product exists. Thanks for your reviews!!
I would suggest that you look for a used in motion V8 or better yet King Song 16X, both of those are great lower cost option that aren't that much larger or heavier but is still convenient to live with.
small wheel is harder to learn on ironically
I went with the Gotway MCM5v2 for my portable unit. To me its the better ratio of specs and not much larger/heavier.
V13 CHALLENGER?!
He goes retro, then the top dog.
I have the 'previous' mten3 (white and black)...can I upgrade parts to have it full black ?
are u gonna review Mten4?
This is a fantastic and extremely durable th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4e2fa6x27dF7shCelntq0ZIKt4N0jELI unicycle. This was my first unicycle and I have really thrashed this thing for the past eight months or so and it has stood up very well. The only thing that has broken are the plastic pedals, they take a beating as you learn to ride, but an upgrade to metal pedals is fairly inexpensive and pretty necessary for most any unicycle. I have since acquired a 36 inch Coker for commuting and having ridden that I realized that the saddle on this unicycle can be a bit uncomfortable after a few hours riding, but still it is a great unicycle to start out on.
Cool little wherl
I want this wheel for the compactness even though I've seen the warnings that the small tire and short design is harder to handle and not ideal for beginners. But seeing you as an experienced rider crash from a cutout on a nearly invisible divot in the road, I must ask... is that also a function of speed? If you went slow (under 10 mph) and hit the same hole, would you still have crashed? Once I learn to ride I just want a reliable commute, not going fast, and not to crash doing nothing crazy.
If I gotta drop off my motorcycle this can get me home and back instead of walking for hours. I love this thing but it wont charge unless you drop the battery down. Had charger die on me. This this is crap on bumpy roads and wobbles like hell at high speeds. It still rocks. Wish they would fix problems.
I love my mten3! Cool video!
Great for little kids
I went to a group esk8 ride a few weeks ago and there was a 6 year old on one of these, me and some other guys were trying to figure out if his dad got it custom made for him or if they make eucs for children, turns out its just really small hahaaa
Hey man, love your videos! I just bought the helmet you wear, have you ever fallen face first on it? Has it protected you? Thanks so much!!!
You know I had always dismissed then Mten 3 as a weak and hard to use wheel but as someone who’s now looking for a PEV I can bring into my college dorm more discretely... well it’s a lot more appealing.
Hi Hsiang, where you buy your trolley handle addon for the mTen3 ? it would make it completed. thanks, and love all of your videos !
is the tesla t3 worth it for 1300 new? It kinda seems like a good deal.
Yes, that was a great wheel to learn on, and grow into. Also a great price
Yes, thank you!!!
I can't wait to get my first Mono Wheel ...I currently ride a Ninebot Max- which is fun. Mileage is the issue on my side.
This is where EUC innovation should be. Not larger deathwheels like the v13.
and is now sold out!
Clark pedals look hilariously oversized on the MTen3. XD
Would be cool if it was really cheap and made it easier for people to try this model out as their first euc -BUT i really like that thin tall one you compared for a sec -def gonna find and watch you clip on that and waste another 15 minutes :)
I also learned to ride backwards on mine. All my other wheels were too big or unresponsive for me to do that. It’s certainly great for public transport etc. but nowadays, I’m more likely to take the V10 out. It’s portable enough and gives a better ride.
Hello @Hsiang, where can I get this arm band that hold your phone while riding ?
From TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK CITY !!! YOU GO GUYS 1 LOVE & PEACE
👍👍
great review!
Can someone please design a sling strap for this wheel?
Better yet, if it is built in and retractable on the next version of Mten
I bought the M ten 3 to learn how to ride, but instead, it hurt the hell out of my legs, then I returned it with in 3 days. and bought a Inmotion V5F instead. but now I will like to buy it again.
its a difficult wheel to ride. Very twitchy and unstable, fun but sketchy and only recommended if you are confident of your skill
@@OWGAC I keep that in mind, because I just got my V12 HT couple weeks ago. may not need another one for now. :)
@@OWGAC I found it easier to learn on than a Ninebot One S2, as it was more stable at slower speeds. It does get a bit wobbly over 15mph, but once I get used to it (have to relearn after riding bigger wheels!), cruising at 20mph is relatively easy. Just keep your knees loose in case you hit bumps!!
