Patton

The Veteran Patton is a high-power suspension electric unicycle from LeaperKim (Guangzhou Veteran Intelligent Technology), positioned as the compact, suspended counterpart to the long-range Sherman. A 3000W hub motor with a 7000W (7kW) peak runs on a 126V system fed by a 2220Wh pack of Samsung 21700 50E cells, giving strong torque, fast acceleration and a loaded top speed around 70km/h. Where the Sherman is a wide, unsuspended 20-inch tourer, the Patton wraps that voltage and power into a smaller chassis built around a 12-inch motorcycle rim with a fat 3-inch tire (the spec sheet lists it as an 18-inch wheel, though riders commonly call it a 16-inch wheel because of the small overall diameter). The defining feature is a Fastace mid-mounted suspension with 80mm of vertical travel and 12-click compression, 18-click rebound and 12mm preload adjustment, making it far plusher over rough ground than the rigid Sherman. It is an aggressive, off-road-capable machine for experienced riders, not a beginner wheel.
