“Kingsong has made an awesome gadget at a reasonable price point and I'm very happy with my decision to purchase the Kingsong 14D. This thing has plenty of speed and I don't see myself wanting to do over 20 mph anytime soon. It's easy to maneuver, provides a good body-toning workout when carrying the close to 30 pounds of tech. I would definitely recommend this model to others and look forward to moving up to the 16X someday.”
“This wheel is comparable to my InMotion V8 but it's got a smaller wheel 14" vs 16" which mite make it a bit more nimble, but not as good for off pavement. I love the bigger pedals and that the headlight comes on in the dark (there's a light sensor) whether you are riding it forwards or backwards (it has head and tail lights at each end.) I also love the integrated handle which is also the trolley handle and that it senses when it's being lifted and turns off the wheel so it doesn't overspeed. - Erich”
“I'm really impressed with this wheel. I thought it would be much harder to learn but was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I got the hang of it. Very well made and simply a blast to ride. If your thinking about this King Son - buy it. You'll be glad you did. Great value and amazing fun factor! I'm married but If you're single - this thing attracts girls better than puppies or babies!”
“My wife just got this electric unicycle. It is the perfect size for her, she's still getting with familiar with riding it, but she is having great fun. A good excuse to get out of the house together and enjoy the outdoors. As far as performance, the King Song 14D is very nimble, easy to maneuver, light weight and packed with features. A great first wheel for anyone looking to get into the electric unicycle niche.”
“Wonderful little thing. Im at the 1 week mark in practice (about an hour a day) and Im finally able to ride on sidewalks! Controls very well and works nicely as a learning wheel. Look forward to using its full potential soon!!”
“I'm a new rider and this is my first wheel, so I can't really speak to the quality or performance versus other wheels.
I will say that while I regretted not going for a "forever wheel" at first, I think the 14D was the right call in hindsight. 30lbs doesn't sound like a lot, but it's more than you might think when you're extending a one-arm carry away from your core to put it in a truck bed or something.
It's light enough that I'm not afraid when it spins around a bit after bailing as well.
I wasn't sure if it had a lift-sensor, but it apparently does, and it works very well. As far as I can tell, it's just a baby version of the 18XL or 16S.
And it can really take a beating! I must've dumped it 30 times so far, and other than some scratches on the glossy finish, no harm done that I can tell.
The only negative I can come up with is the pads. Really hard on the inside of my calves. I think that's an issue of technique and muscle buildup I'll overcome in a couple weeks. But that's why I deducted 1 point. I think a pad (even some sort of extension like a seat?) that hit closer to the knees instead of mid-shin would solve that.
Because of the size and performance limits, I think it'll be a great wheel for my son when I do eventually move on to something bigger/faster/longer-range.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the wheel to anyone new to EUCs would wanted something fun to try out. And if you don't plan to commute with it, or are in a lower-speed dense urban area with bike lanes for the most part, I think you could probably live with it happily as your only wheel for a very long time.”
