Wheel Life turns your iPhone into a full dashboard for your electric unicycle. Connect over Bluetooth and see everything your wheel knows, live speed, battery, voltage, current, temperature, and duty cycle, then record every ride with GPS and keep the whole story. LIVE DASHBOARD See it the instant it happens. Speed, real battery percentage (sag compensated so it doesn't swing under hard acceleration), power, temperature, and duty cycle, all updating in real time. No wheel handy? Tap "Try Demo Wheel" and explore the whole dashboard with simulated telemetry. RIDE TRACKING & HISTORY Rides start on their own when you connect and record in the background with the screen off. Every ride is saved with its route, top speed, distance, climb, and a battery curve. Browse them in a rich History with heat map thumbnails, personal record chips, and weekly trends. Pause for a coffee stop and resume without eating your stats or your battery. RIDE ALARMS Set speed, duty cycle, temperature, and battery alarms so you hear the warning before you feel it. Telemetry is an instrument, not a safety system, but a good alarm gives you a moment. COMMUNITY Share rides with routes trimmed at both ends to hide where you live. Follow leaderboards that count all your verified riding, join clubs, host and find group rides near you, message other riders, and claim territory on a live map. Block and report keep it civil. EXPORT Send any ride to Strava, Ride Hermes, or export GPX and CSV to take your data anywhere. APPLE WATCH & LIVE ACTIVITY Glance at your speed and battery on your wrist and on the Lock Screen while you ride. WORKS WITH YOUR WHEEL Automatic protocol detection for Kingsong, Veteran, Begode/Gotway, and Inmotion — no picking your model from a list. Begode pack size is worked out automatically from the wheel itself. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Rides stay on your device unless you choose to share them. Leaderboards sync numbers, never your location. No ads, no trackers, no data brokers. Anonymous diagnostics can be turned off. Wheel Life is not affiliated with any wheel manufacturer. Ride within your limits and wear protective gear.
