Onewheel Pint Beats Uber from Manhattan to Brooklyn

Raw footage from a real Onewheel Pint commute from Manhattan to Brooklyn ya dig.

PSA here: It’s well documented - Onewheels are the most fun things you can ride, but I often think their practicality is overlooked. It’s maneuverability, versatility, control and stopping power are unmatched. Plus bumps and cracks ‘aint no thing. Put it all together and you’re able to cut through a city unlike on any other vehicle.

In order to demonstrate this, sacrifices had to be made. We had to be those dorks dangling a GoPro but if that’s what it takes to enlighten the masses, it’s a price we’re willing to pay.

So for all you practical folks out there that say, ‘Gee, Onewheels look fun as heck but I just don’t know if it actually makes sense in my life’ maybe take a peak at this. I got to Brooklyn faster than I would have in an Uber, I didn’t pay $35, I experienced the world around me and I had a really, really good time. Especially that part at 14:15 when I was zooming past bikers going up the Williamsburg Bridge :) I even had a 30lb backpack on (don’t believe me? Watch the end).

Getting there fast is not enough - enjoy yourself, see some stuff, interact, carve, Simplestop to smell the Pastrami and still beat that Uber you’re not paying for.

And while I’m PSAing, please remember to ride responsibly and show respect for everyone else going places. Happy travels ya’ll!

Good times are ahead on a Onewheel. There's nothing else quite like it. Whether you're on a coffee run or charging trails, these perpetual carving machines are an absolute joy to ride and highly addictive.

Onewheels are powered by a brushless hub motor which has plenty of power to get you up hills and comfortably break going down them. There's no remote, riders simply lean forward to accelerate and back to decelerate. It creates an incredibly intuitive and natural riding experience.

The large tire creates the smoothest riding experience in the game and makes riding over bumps and cracks a breeze.

But mostly, riding Onewheels in really, really fun :)
