BEGODE
Begode MTen3
SKU: EUC-BGMT3-001
Description
The Begode (formerly GotWay) MTen3 is a compact 10-inch electric unicycle built around an 800 W hub motor (around 1200 W peak) and offered in several battery configurations spanning 67.2 V and 84 V packs from roughly 325 Wh up to 512 Wh, with a 690 Wh option appearing later in the run. The 84 V / 512 Wh version pairs forty 18650 cells with a manufacturer-quoted top speed near 40 km/h and a range of up to 45 km measured on flat road at constant speed with a 70 kg rider. At about 10 kg it is one of the lightest full-power unicycles ever made, small enough to carry in a rucksack, which is the core of its appeal. It has no suspension, no built-in display and no factory IP rating; rider data is read through the Begode mobile app, and an anti-spin cutoff button plus an optional retractable trolley handle round out the package. The MTen3’s combination of low mass, a torquey motor and a small wheel makes it playful and highly maneuverable, while that same short wheelbase makes it twitchy at higher speed, so it is most often recommended as a learner wheel or a portable second wheel rather than a long-distance commuter.

Model history
GotWay (later rebranded Begode) launched the MTen3 around 2019 as the third generation of its miniature MTen line. It became one of the most iconic small-format electric unicycles because it delivered genuine performance, an 800 W motor and 84 V power, in a 10 kg body that almost any other wheel could not match for portability. That made it a perennial recommendation as both a low-stress beginner trainer and a grab-and-go second wheel for experienced riders, and it remained a reference point for compact EUCs well into the 2020s, later succeeded by the MTen4.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Exceptionally portable and light for a full-power unicycle
- Strong motor and 84 V option give surprising punch for its size
- Multiple battery sizes let riders trade weight against range
- Playful, highly maneuverable handling that is fun to learn on
- Simple, proven design with a large community and parts support
Cons
- No suspension, so it is harsh on rough surfaces
- Short wheelbase feels twitchy and less stable at higher speed
- No built-in display and no official IP rating
- Awkwardly placed anti-spin cutoff button can interfere when lifting
- Trolley handle and speakers are not included
Verdict
The MTen3 earned its iconic status by packing real unicycle performance into a body light enough to sling over a shoulder. It rewards riders who want a nimble learner wheel or a truly portable second wheel, but its lack of suspension and twitchy small-wheel feel mean it is not the tool for fast, long or rough commutes.
