what's amazing about one wheel is the experience of riding we combine the motion sensing technology from a smartphone the motor and battery technology like you find in a Tesla create a self-balancing electric skateboard control simply by leaning your body we started with a dream of a hoverboard the smooth feeling of flying over pavement inspired by this vision in the future we created an incredible ride that feels like a natural extension of your balance one wheel is designed to be intuitive whether you're a pro are never been on a board you can learn the basics and under a minute and there's plenty of room to challenge yourself by riding more aggressively or inventing new tricks there are no hand controls you just lean toward your front foot to go faster and your back foot to slow down or even reverse regenerative braking kicks in as you come to a stop at the heart of one wheel is a state-of-the-art direct drive brushless motor in the hub of the movement and balance are achieved by a custom controller the read zero and accelerometer sensors thousands of times a second the high speed charger gives the lithium batteries maintenance we made one we like a youthful and dynamic experience unlike skateboarding where you feel every little crack and pebble in the street one wheel feels a lot more like surfing or snowboarding a large tire and carefully tuned algorithms allow you to carve the pavement as if it were water or fresh powder we've invested five years and a lot of money building countless prototypes to get one wheel to where it is today everyone who rides it loves it and with your help we want to make one wheel available to the world we've worked with all kinds of manufacturers on other projects and we believe the u.s. is the best place to build an advanced products like one wheel that kind of quality cost money so we need backers like you who share our vision of creating amazing electric vehicles with your backing will pay for tooling costs and build the first ever one wheel production join us in revolutionising the experience of ride X Kate released the first wireless electric skateboard in 1997 the patented design was truly revolutionary as both a skateboard and an electric vehicle for the past 16 years we've been at the forefront of the electric skateboard world once just for extreme sports enthusiasts and skaters now surfers snowboarders motocross riders BMXers and eco-friendly commuters have each found a place for lectures skateboards our newest platform the proline 600 v3 launched in 2012 with new tooling stronger and lighter materials us mate electronics the lithium batteries it's lighter faster smoother more powerful more reliable and more efficient than any board before it but the biggest improvement is our modular design the v3 is the first fully customizable electric skateboard and can fit any riders preferences from daily commute to hard packed dirt adventure motor and battery technology have advanced rapidly in the past few years but upgrading motors and batteries isn't revolutionary being state-of-the-art requires more than taking high-end off-the-shelf components and bolting them to existing hardware our incredibly loyal customers have provided amazing feedback over the years and we've listened in response our boards are designed to offer the perfect blend of performance and affordability based on each rider style and needs tens of thousands of boards sold and incredible customer feedback that brought us here the next revolution Electric skateboarding the proline v3 dual sport the d/s isn't just an upgrade to our already top-of-the-line flagship it's the only electric skateboard that can slash a carve on asphalt and offer all-terrain performance off the pavement in a single platform but the altered v3d S offers more than just - more than one it blends the joy of surfing the carve of snowboarding and the freedom of skateboarding with the excitement of mountain biking and the thrill of a motocross race all while offering more affordability and all around transportation convenience segue our patented torsion truck design offers fast and easy transitions from Street to off-road with two nuts in a plug you move from sidewalk to all-terrain or back we found that there's no setup that works for every rider with modular Dex wheels trucks bushings batteries and motors you decide what you want out of your board now or anytime in the future want to cut weight and range for short distance commutes swap out to a lightweight lift the impact want to go off-road and do things never before done on the skateboard in less than two minutes you can move from Street to off-road the proline D s lets you do both in the same package hey guys I'm Josh this is Milton and we designed gnarly Electric skateboards electric skateboarding has been around for quite a while but I think we'll do fine is it mostly electricity before it's available or underpowered one wheel drive and they really lack that fun factor so an attempt to bring fun back there back to electric skateboard and I'd like to introduce you guys on our boards now roads are the most powerful electric state words they're the fastest electric skateboard they have the longest range they have the most traction and they have the shortest recharge time I designed our boards during my senior year studying industrial design I started off by designing this hand controller the green part of this rocker accelerates the skateboard and the red part applies the regenerative brakes the rocker pushes on planetary gears which spin the potentiometers for a linear and smooth acceleration after I designed the hand before I built this prototype for my dad oh yes precise control I got to walk manic and after I test drove it I knew that I wanted to make one for myself so spent countless hours designing parts talking to awesome people and visiting a local manufacturing shop to come up with this this and this
