Juggler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 EUC's are getting more popular each year since they were first available. I'm wondering how it would be possible to estimate the global total? Maybe if all the manufactures published their total sales we could add it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just too much fun. Kingsong should be able to report how many user profiles are using their app. I only have the one profile for my two wheels. Is that possible @US69? IDK if Gotway has the same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be totally honest, concrete numbers of wheels sold, or numbers of app acounts.... i doubt that KS (or GW or any other company) wants those numbers to be released...

Unventor Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I can't see that happening. I mean anycompany have a accounting balance they need to do. But they don't need to share customer numbers. That type of info is kept very tight in any business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biped Phil Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The present, august Forum has confronted this very question before. Updating to cover the intervening year, with essentially the same caveats and carve-outs as in our earlier study, I can report that the world-wide electric-unicycle ridership population stands at 3109. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee guy Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Wow! If that number is more or less accurate, I'm not sure that's considered anywhere near market saturation. It seems to reflect something more like core users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) As of end 2017 the InMotion V8 had been sold more than 12,000 times. This fact alone makes it extremely unlikely that the current EUC riders population is anything below 10,000. However, this is a number from 2017 and it is only one single model (though probably the best-ever-seller) and it is not like that every second EUC we happen to see is a V8 (as it possibly was the case at some point for the Ninebot One). That means, IMHO, a reasonable estimate can hardly be below 50,000 EUC riders world wide. Edited April 6, 2019 by Mono 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Marty alone is boosting those numbers, the day he is no longer into wheels... God forbid half of them manufacturers may just close within a month. Jokes aside that makes no sense at all to me, I suspect most owners are not hanging on this forum as well, certainly not day and night, Chinese market alone could potentially dwarf us here in the west but I am speculating wildly so?

ridelondon Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I was talking to a friend the other day and they said they see riders in London often but almost never anywhere else but clearly they exist! How many riders are there in the UK? Or even the world? Is there a way of estimating this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) My best guess is somewhere between 3 and 300,000 If you come up with a good estimate, let me know and good luck! Edited June 20, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 More than last year, less than next year. Somewhere between 100,000 and 300,000. I think that it would be safe to say that at least 300,000 people have learned to ride. They might not own a wheel or had one and gave it up. I know about 15 people that know how to ride. Only five of them own a wheel. I have 5 wheels and let people ride them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGiroquoi Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hello all. I'm asking here to have a more global opinion. This started in a local discussion between wheelers and we never got an agreement. It even ended bad 🤣! So, does anybody knows which wheels are the most sold? The inexpensive 84v 50kmh wheels like V8/10 or the most expensive high speed ones? This to determine where is the actual consumer market. In my opinion eucs are like electric scooters, the low end 40kmh market is the best selling , with the high speed ones being more of a niche market. I think the same about eucs, but many of my speed demons friend here say the opposite, Does anybody here has real numbers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I believe you can pay for a market analysis report, but that would be an estimate based on who knows what. Without the manufacturers releasing their individual numbers, it's pretty much all guesswork. Your view isn't uncommon though… smaller, slower, cheaper wheels are purchased by people that don't hang out with the big, expensive, fast wheelers in their action figure combat costumes. There's a lot of the former. I heard that IM sells more wheels than all the other manufacturers combined—the bulk of which are not V12 or even V11 class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGiroquoi Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Indeed. But Inmotion sells scooters as well. I wonder what part of their business model is Euc related. Hope they won't do like ninebot and go scooter only in two years.. But I wonder if resellers could have an idea.. I still think "good enough" eucs are the most sold..

mhpr262 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I remember that during the Kingsong S22 debacle it was announced that "several thousand" S22 were going to have to be recalled. Several thousand, of a single, brand new and very expensive EUC model. I suspect that the number of 50.000 EUC riders worldwide is much too low, its probably well over 100.000, and that isnt counting all those Chinese 14'' toy wheels with a 130Wh battery pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwheel Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 FWIW I asked one of the manufacturers for this number three years ago for a media thing I was going to be doing and they put the number at around 100k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) These are the sales data I could find: various links to sales numbers sales numbers by Ecodrift Russia in 2019 by model (sold ~3000 units overall) models ranked by sales number by Ecodrift Russia in 2021 (rank change in brackets) All these data suggest that small models (V5, V8, KS16S, KS14M) dominated the market by sold units last year and before. Only both KingSong 18" models and the V11 are additionally in the mix of best selling models. Edited January 14 by Mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skunkmonkey Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 3 hours ago, novazeus said: yeah, i wonder. i heard somewhere that the north american market was the biggest. Well their release schedule caters to the Southern hemisphere rather than the Northern, so unless the EUC companies are just being completely ignorant of their customer base, I’d guess that’s not the case. It doesn’t make much sense to do wheel releases at the end of the riding season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
