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.

Highlights

  • Very light at roughly 10 kg, small enough to carry in a backpack
  • 800 W hub motor with around 1200 W peak in a 10-inch package
  • Offered in 67.2 V and 84 V packs, 325 Wh up to 512 Wh (690 Wh added later)
  • 84 V / 512 Wh variant rated near 40 km/h with up to 45 km range
  • Nimble, torquey character that suits learners and second-wheel buyers
  • No suspension, no display; data via the Begode app, optional trolley handle

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.
