SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Future Motion Inc., the maker of Onewheel, the iconic, self-balancing single-wheel electric board that uses sensors to maintain rider balance and stability, is pleased to announce the launch of the latest addition to its popular Pint lineup: the Onewheel Pint S. The announcement was made public this morning in a launch video.
The Pint S takes the compact design of Onewheel’s most popular Pint X board and supercharges it with major firmware and hardware upgrades with advanced features for unmatched versatility. This includes an all-new performance-treaded tire and a larger platform with flared footpads to offer greater stability for new riders, combined with increased power and off-road capabilities for those looking to get more adventurous on their rides. It is available at Onewheel.com for immediate shipping and starts at $1,400.
“Our Pint and Pint X board models have become extremely popular for convenient urban micromobility. But once riders are hooked on the feeling they get from their board, many start looking for more ways to incorporate it into their lives. So we figured, why not make the most badass version of that board possible, versatile enough to suit beginners, casual riders, and those ready for more adventurous rides,” said Kyle Doerksen, CEO of Future Motion and inventor of Onewheel. “We took inspiration from the souped-up hatchback cars of the world. There’s something super fun and exciting about compact vehicles that also offer performance capabilities that pack a serious punch.”
