The American company OneWheel just now announced their NEXT BIG THING to hit the one wheel skateboard community - a brand new OneWheel GT and Pint X. They are the most anticipated electric one wheels to come in 2022. Unfortunately, they are yet to be launched in Australia. We believe, and cross our fingers, that they will arrive sometime mid 2022.
Everyone is talking about it and everyone wants one, and that is not without reason. OneWheel describes their new GT as their most advanced skateboard EVER, and PINT X to be a better, upgraded version of the Pint.
OneWheel+ GT
This is the e-board that is the most asked about and most wanted, and why wouldn’t it be? It has more power, more range and more control than any of its predecessors.
When creating the OneWheel+ GT, the brand completely remodelled the control system of their previous models, and created an electric skateboard that produces higher voltage so that riders can enjoy more power and torque in addition to a dynamic performance at all speed levels.
The GT is breaking one-wheel records when it comes to both speed and range. The motorised skateboard can reach a top speed of 32km/h and a distance of 52km before needing to charge - that is further than ever before. This makes it possible for you to ride a whole day without having to charge.
It outperforms the OneWheel XR, who offers riders a top speed of 30 km/h and a distance range up to 29 km - which is still impressive.
The GT is packed with incredible innovative features like its custom rubber tires that take carving to the next level with its rounder profile. Making you experience a smooth powder riding feel.
The GT is the first OneWheel ever to offer a OneWheel-specific Trail Slayer GT tread tire that makes it possible for you to shred both on the pavement and off-road. The tire offers excellent traction and carve-ability. The GT also features front and rear concave footpads and grippier grip tape for incredible steering control, foot grip and comfort.
Like the other one wheels, the GT comes with a Maghandle for easy transportation, bumpers to protect board, and footpad sensors for instant acceleration and control. As well as front and rear smart LED lights that switch direction when you do and let you ride at any time - day or night. However, GT offers 300% more lumens than XR and comes with new Highbeams for better visibility.
The GT offers riders incredible board control both directly from the skateboard and from your smartphone. Simply, download the OneWheel App and connect your phone to the e-board. That way you can easily customise the way your board rides, plan your outings, monitor your battery levels, connect with friends and so much more.
OneWheel has really thought of everything, down to the smallest of details when it comes to the new GT. As a result, every element of the skateboard has been completely remodelled so that you get to enjoy the world’s most refined shredding machine.
OneWheel+ Pint X
The second new OneWheel hoverboard to hit the market is the Pint X.
The brand-new OneWheel Pint X e-board is a speed rocket with its 750W Hypercore hub motor that offers a top speed of 29km/h, and Simple stop dismount technology that allows you to easily ride faster yet with confidence. On top of that, it has x2 more range than its predecessor Pint, offering riders a distance range of up to 29km on a single charge. Imagine all that extra freedom!
The biggest difference between OneWheel Pint and Pint X is their speed and range. The Pint X absolutely beasts the Pint when it comes to distance riding with its maximum range of 29km to Pint’s 13km. As well as Pint X being capable of reaching higher speeds levels - up to 29km/h - while the Pint’s limit is 26km/h.
They come with the same 750W Hypercore hub motor, NMC battery, custom OneWheel tire and size. Both electric skateboards are incredibly compact and lightweight, however, Pint is still the lightest OneWheel in its range with 10.4 kg. Pint X a close second, weighing just over 12 kg.
This little mini rocket is only 27 inches from tip to tip, making it the perfect companion for wherever you go. Ride, carry, store. It is super practical due to its size and weight. You can easily carry it with you onto the train or bus, or stash it under your office desk.
The Pint X is the perfect balance between performance, affordability and practicality. Ready to take on any adventure.

OneWheel App
The Onewheel app lets you connect your phone with your Onewheel. The app makes it easier for you to monitor important aspects of your Onewheel and allows you to customise the way your board rides to best suit your riding style. Easily manage your battery with the low battery alert, overheating warning and fully charged notification. You can turn on and off your LED lights for better visibility when night-riding. It also features useful information when riding like wheel-slip detection, remaining range, speed levels and GPS tracking. You can also see live movements of your board, and even give it a name if you feel like it.
OneWheel is all about keeping up with the latest technology, offering constant firmware upgrades so you can constantly improve your ride as well as your riding experience. OneWheel was actually the first boardsport that you could do upgrades from the cloud with!
The app also connects with your smart watch so you can monitor your e-skateboard and adjust your Digital Shaping directly from your wrist.
I don’t know about you, but we are super excited for these joy rides to arrive in Australia. As mentioned before, it is still unsure of when they will come but if you want to be the first to know, signup for our newsletters, and we will send you a message as soon as they arrive.
We also offer exciting deals all around our online store for you to enjoy while waiting for these machines to arrive.
For now, stay cool and keep shredding.
