Onewheel Pint

Onewheel releases its smallest board yet with the Pint. At 27 inches long, the Pint is easier to stash under your desk or take on public transit with you. But Onewheel didn’t just change the size, as the Pint also has a foldout carrying handle, Simplestop tech that helps novices ride easily, and an LED light board that indicates battery status. For those new to Onewheel, this revolutionary electric traveler moves by simply leaning forward, balancing on the one wheel. The Pint costs $950 and is available now.
