Veteran Abrams

SKU: EUC-VTABR-001

Veteran Abrams electric vehicle

Description

The Veteran Abrams is a large, high-power electric unicycle from LeaperKim (Veteran), positioned as the brand’s second flagship platform after the Sherman. It pairs a 22-inch tubeless knobby tyre with a 100.8V nominal battery built from Samsung 50E 21700 cells totalling 2700Wh, driven by a 3500W hub motor. There is no suspension: the Abrams is a rigid, tall wheel emphasising stability and a comfortable seated-riding posture rather than off-road compliance. Reviewers describe it as a powerful, planted high-speed cruiser suited to experienced, taller riders, while noting it is heavy (around 44kg), unsuitable for technical off-road use, and that early production batches drew criticism for water and debris accumulation around the motor and for bearings prone to failure. It carries an IP65 ingress rating, a 2800-lumen headlight, and an on-wheel LCD panel.

Highlights

  • 3500W hub motor on a 100.8V nominal pack for strong acceleration and high-speed cruising
  • 2700Wh battery using Samsung 50E 21700 cells
  • Large 22-inch tubeless knobby tyre with a tall frame favouring seated riding
  • No suspension — a rigid, stable platform rather than an off-road wheel
  • IP65 ingress rating and a 2800-lumen headlight
  • Roughly 120kg maximum rider load

Model history

LeaperKim unveiled the Abrams around 2023 as Veteran’s second major wheel after the highly successful Sherman, with a focus on improved water resistance and a tall, stable platform. It reached riders in late 2023 and early 2024. Early batches drew criticism over water and debris ingress around the motor and bearing failures, which shaped much of its review coverage.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Powerful 3500W motor with responsive acceleration and braking
  • Large, stable platform well suited to taller riders and seated cruising
  • Tall trolley handle and spacious studded pedals aid comfort and handling
  • Bright adjustable headlight and integrated fender
  • IP65 ingress rating for improved weather resistance over earlier designs

Cons

  • Heavy (around 44kg) and not suited to technical off-road riding
  • Early batches reported water and debris accumulation around the motor
  • Exposed bearings on early units were reported as prone to failure
  • 2700Wh battery is smaller than the predecessor Sherman’s 3200Wh pack
  • Not appropriate for beginners, short riders, or anyone needing portability

Verdict

The Veteran Abrams is a powerful, stable 22-inch cruiser aimed at experienced, taller riders who value high-speed comfort and seated riding over portability or off-road ability. Its 3500W motor and 100.8V/2700Wh pack deliver strong performance, but its weight and the durability concerns reported on early batches temper the appeal. It is a specialist performance wheel, not an all-rounder.

What reviewers say

  • The ride feel caught me off guard. It’s a big, tall, and wide wheel but experienced riders will get the hang of it after a few seconds.
    Freshly Charged
  • Teardowns have shown that the Abrams design makes it susceptible for water and debris to accumulate around the motor and on early batches the bearings are prone to failure.
    Freshly Charged
  • The ride feel was surprisingly smooth, although the wheel’s weight is a concern for new riders.
