the pint has three main new features. there is the maghandle (a magnetic carry handle that folds out from the side of the board), the lightbar which serves as an LED notification and battery strip on the footrest, and a dismount feature that streamlines the riding experience for novice riders called simplestop. this allows inexperienced riders to tilt the board back and come to a complete stop so they can step off.
it reaches a top speed of 16MPH and has a range of 6-8 miles. in addition to new features, the pint also makes use of several established onewheel technologies including hypercoreTM motor technology for a smooth, powerful ride experience, and the onewheel app, which enables users to change the way the board rides with digital shaping.
‘so many people want to get in on the onewheel experience but haven’t been able to afford it. this product unlocks the onewheel experience for a massive new group of aspiring riders,’ says future motion founder and CEO kyle doerksen. ‘electric vehicles are taking over the world. our approach is to make magical, high-quality small vehicles that people truly love.‘
pint is the first onewheel available in multiple color options, including slate, sand and a limited launch edition in sage. it is now available for preorder from their website from just $950.
