16-inch wheels are the middle ground between small and nimble 14-inch wheels and powerful, but heavy 18-inch wheels. The S prefix immediately hints at the sporty character of the KingSong KS16S 840Wh unicycle. The new 16-inch KingSong KS-16S wheel will be the best choice for confident riders who love speed and explosive dynamics. The model is designed to withstand a weight of up to 120 kg, while the unicycles’ own weight is 17.3 kg.Power is combined with excellent cross-country capabilities thanks to the 16-inch wheel size. It takes about 7 hours to fully charge the battery.

1. Speed: increased from 30 to 35 km / h

Kingsong KS-16S V2 840WH Electric Unicycle
It's a great EUC, but it has a few flaws:
* The side pads are too rigid, causing discomfort to your shins.
* The telescopic handle is somewhat low for taller users (around 185cm).
* The assembly quality is subpar; the screw that holds the left and right parts of the EUC body was misplaced.
* The handle lock is weak; one side of the handle no longer locks in the lower position.
* The lift sensor is not as convenient as a button; if you lift the wheel while it's not perfectly still, it starts spinning.

Kingsong KS-16S V2 840WH Electric Unicycle
It is beautiful and does what I expected. Would need more time to write accurate review, but fully satisfied.
§ 01 / Philosophy
The 16S, refreshed. 2023 batch · same proven platform.
840 Wh sized for daily urban commuting. Roughly 75 km of range under moderate cruise — enough headroom for the working week without obsessing over the charger.
§ motor
1200
W · nominal
1200 W nominal — sized for the commute, not for performance riding. The 16S Pro is the upgrade pick if you want a bigger drive system in the same wheel size.
§ weight
17.3
kg · curb · 120 kg max load
17.3 kg makes the V2 manageable for stairs, lifts and car boots. 120 kg max load is generous for the size class — heavier riders get usable headroom.
The proven mid-range KingSong commute wheel.
The KS-16S has been a workhorse in the KingSong line-up for years. The V2 is the current 2023 production batch — same platform that owners know, with refinements like an improved auto-activating headlight and a refreshed brake light. Sized for daily urban commuting on a 16-inch wheel; not a performance machine.
If you want a simple, proven KingSong with an honest spec sheet, this is the wheel.
840 Wh, a 1200 W motor, a 16-inch tire, no suspension, 17.3 kg in your hand and 120 kg on the pedals. Auto headlight, brake light, Bluetooth speakers, telescopic handle. Charged in roughly seven hours from the stock charger. The V2 is not the modernised 16S Pro and it is not pretending to be.
§ 02 / Systems
Four engineering choices that define the KS-16S V2.
16-inch tire on a rigid chassis — predictable handling, simple service, no shock to bleed or rebuild. Tuned for city tarmac, not trails.
02
1200 W motor
1200 W nominal — sized for the commute. Honest figures rather than marketing peak numbers. The 16S Pro is the route to more power in the same wheel size.
03
~7 h full charge
Roughly seven hours from empty to full with the stock charger. Plug it in overnight and the wheel is ready before the next commute.
04
Improved auto headlight
Refreshed for the 2023 batch — auto-activates at dusk so the rider does not forget. Brake light at the rear, Bluetooth speakers in the chassis.
§ 03 / EnergyBattery
840 Wh, daily commute.
~75 km range · ~7 h charge
840 Wh is sized for daily urban commuting rather than long-distance touring. Roughly 75 km of range at moderate cruise; full charge in about seven hours from the stock charger that ships in the box.

§ 06 / Who rides it
The KS-16S V2 is for commuters who want a proven, simple KingSong — not a performance wheel, not a touring machine, not the latest hardware.
A
The proven-platform commuter
Daily commuters who want the platform that has been in service for years — known parts, known service flow, no surprises. The V2 is the current production batch of the same wheel.
B
The KS-14 owner moving up
Owners stepping up from a KS-14. Same KingSong language, bigger wheel, more battery, more range — without changing brand or learning a new control system.
C
The budget-aware buyer
Buyers who do not need the 16S Pro's modern hardware (BT 5.4, Apple Find My, 3800 W peak motor). The V2 delivers the core 16S experience at a lower price point.
×
Riders who want suspension
The V2 is rigid by design — no shock to tune or service. Riders who want suspension comfort should look at the V12S, V14 platform or Begode Falcon Pro instead.
×
Long-distance touring riders
840 Wh is a commute battery, not a touring battery. For 100+ km days, look at the 1500 Wh+ platforms — V12S, Sherman L or larger.
×
Performance riders
1200 W nominal is sized for commuting, not for hard acceleration or sustained high speed. Performance riders should look at the 16S Pro or higher-tier platforms.

Q-01KS-16S V2 or 16S Pro?
KS-16S V2: proven platform, simpler hardware, lower price. 16S Pro: stronger motor (1200 / 3800 W peak), modern audio (BT 5.4), Apple Find My.
The Pro is the upgrade pick if the price difference is acceptable — talk to us about your usage before deciding.
Q-02What does V2 mean — is it a new wheel?
V2 is the 2023 production batch of the long-running KS-16S platform — not a new wheel. Refinements include an improved auto-activating headlight and a refreshed brake light. Same chassis, same motor and same battery layout that owners know.
Q-03Is 75 km range realistic?
~75 km is the moderate-cruise figure with an average rider on flat urban tarmac. Heavier riders, hills, headwind and faster cruising shorten it — typical commute conditions are well inside the envelope.
Q-04Can it commute in rain?
Light to moderate rain is fine within reason — the V2 is a commute wheel and KingSong builds the chassis accordingly. Avoid puddles deep enough to splash the motor, and avoid pressure washing.
Q-05EU warranty?
Two years through OneRide with home pick-up service.
Free EU delivery
2–8 working days. Carrier selected by destination and warehouse route.
2 years warranty
Home pick-up service. Battery, motor and chassis faults covered.
