It’s been about three years since we reviewed the Onewheel. Solidly constructed and a ton of fun, it was a bit on the expensive side. Future Motion, the company behind the Onewheel, has announced a smaller, more affordable Onewheel Pint which includes some new features.
“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.
