InMotion X1

What would you build if off-road performance came before everything else? That is the question InMotion asked itself, and the InMotion X1 is the answer. Unveiled in October 2026, this electric unicycle becomes the manufacturer’s benchmark off-road model, complementing the P6, which is dedicated to speed on the road. It takes over the P6’s high-voltage electronics, but pairs them with a motor with increased torque and an adjustable long-travel suspension. The promise: staying in control when the ground becomes unpredictable, from series of roots to bike park jumps, by way of rough climbs. This off-road electric unicycle targets already seasoned riders, capable of making the most of a 41 kg machine. Available for pre-order in France, it will be delivered limited to 25 km/h from spring 2027.

Overview

A premium electric unicycle, the InMotion X1 was developed from the constraints of off-piste riding rather than those of the road. Before its presentation, the manufacturer entrusted it for a month to a professional rider, who tested it on long climbs, rough descents, stairs and repeated impacts. Each piece of his feedback led to changes to the suspension or the firmware.

The result is a 568 × 206 × 760 mm electric unicycle, fitted with a 20-inch-class wheel (14-inch rim) with a knobbly tubeless tyre. Its suspension combines a shock absorber, linkages and a pivot, an architecture close to that of a full-suspension mountain bike.

For everyday use, the InMotion X1 incorporates what a ride in the forest needs: a trolley handle to push it, a parking mode activated by a double press, a display showing speed, battery and alerts, and a USB-C port to charge a phone or an on-board camera. Its side lights illuminate the edges of the trail at night. It is thus aimed at those who want to ride hard on rough terrain without giving up practicality.

Technical specifications

Who is it for?

The primary audience of the InMotion X1 is bike park and freeride enthusiasts. Its 150 mm progressive suspension stays supple over small bumps and firms up on big impacts, which makes jump landings safer. During the demonstration tour, several riders even took on jumps only a few minutes after getting to grips with it.

It also suits riders who want to adapt the wheel to their body shape. The pedals offer three heights (286, 304 and 324 mm) and their angle is continuously adjustable. If the wheel is still too high, mounting the shock absorber in the low position lowers the body by 45 mm.

Fans of forest rides until nightfall will appreciate its two 3 W side lights. According to the InMotion team, they show their full value in total darkness, for spotting bends and the edges of the trail.

On the other hand, the InMotion X1 is not designed to eat up long distances. It is designed for intense riding on a given sector, rather than for long rides on the road.

What sets it apart

The InMotion X1 stands out first for its repairability. Thanks to its modular construction, you can inspect and replace a damaged part without dismantling the whole wheel, and change the tyre in about 15 minutes. The handles, made of a nylon blend, are designed to absorb impacts: in the event of a fall, they give way before the internal components.

The second strong point is charging. The battery accepts up to 20 A, i.e. a 2C charge, which makes it possible to go from 0 to 90% in about 30 minutes according to the manufacturer. With the 16 A charger supplied, allow about 35 minutes.

Finally, the InMotion X1 is connected thanks to RideConnect. The service makes it possible to locate the wheel in real time, lock it remotely and receive an alert if it is moved. It also keeps operating and fault logs, useful for establishing a diagnosis. The app also provides for remote firmware updates.

What we like / Points to watch

What we like

• Complete lighting: a 20 W LED headlight and two side lights whose brightness can be adjusted in the app.
• A large physical button, usable with gloves, to switch from one riding profile to the other.
• Pedals adjustable in height across three positions, with a continuously adjustable angle.
• A battery protected to the IP67 standard: in the rain, the demonstration units showed no water ingress.

Points to watch

• Production models will differ from the demonstration units. InMotion announces several revised parts, including a shock absorber with a steel body and a new material for the handles: it is best to check the version actually delivered.
• Even in the low position, the pedals remain noticeably higher than on the P6, according to the InMotion team.
• The availability of certain functions, such as advanced profiles or connected services, will depend on the firmware and the app at launch.
