Kingsong S22

The Kingsong S22, formerly S20, is a clearly off-road and trail-oriented unicycle. Among other things, it has 130 mm suspension travel and a robust metal construction, which makes it ideal for big jumps and high drops.

It is the successor to the smaller S18, but with double the battery and 50 % more motor power, such as a top speed of 70 instead of 50 km/h. The freespin is up to 114 km/h, so ideal for longer jumps where the tire is spinning up in the air.

It also comes with a seat, pretty good jump- and power pads and spiked pedals. Plus, a sturdy, albeit oddly placed and somewhat short trolley handle, as well as a sturdy kickstand and height-adjustable bright lights. It's waterproof, but not submersible, and best of all, it's super easy to work with because the device has a very modular design. The tire can theoretically be removed with just 2 screws

While all of this is true, many problems have unfortunately arisen with this highly anticipated and hyped wheel. There were motor problems with the first devices, which led to cut-offs and burned the motherboard. Also, the slider design is very clumsy and gets harder and harder to move over time. Many S22 buyers had to wait a long time for replacement motors, such as upgrading the sliders for 100 to 200 €. However, with the upgrades, it is currently the best suspension unicycle on the market.
