King Song 16″ Story

Passionate riders of Electric Unicycles are attracted to King Song eWheels because of the earned reputation for solid reliability & performance. In early 2015, King Song experimented with a 16″ Wheel design but this early prototype was too ungainly & was not quite ready as a commercial product.

Over a gestation period of nine months, the King Song engineers refined the concept, made it more powerful, finding space in the shell to add the 64 battery cells, upgrading the motor, incorporating a head/tail light, better pedals & the first to include an active cooling fan onto the control-board. It was the first single-wheel to contain a retractable telescopic handle for transporting when not being ridden; combined, all of these features made it one of the most of 2016 & was sold in the thousands.

The KS16S (the ‘S’ stands for Sports) is the latest evolution of the 16″ Wheel, with the potential of even more power, 3MPH higher speed, easier maintenance & host of other improvement.

Bluetooth App Connectivity

The King Song 16″ has two independent Bluetooth transmitters, one for streaming music & another for displaying real-time Wheel data & changing the handling characteristics of the Wheel with compatibility for either Android or iOS. Most users find it most valuable for unlocking the Wheel to the upper design speed of 35kph & setting the handling performance like the calibration & ride mode.
An area in the App that is unique to the King Song 16″ is that now the headlight is controlled through the App rather than the touch-panel.
