Single wheel hoverboards are all the rage. Now, did you know that there are off-road alternatives? Behold the Onewheel GT.
Much is being said about which are the most prominent trends in mobility. Transport in urban areas is changing rapidly, to the point that it is common to see electric scooters circulating on bike lanes or simply renewed proposals in search of taking over a part of the market. Within this quota, Onewheel option can have a great ride for the next few years.
At the end of the day, its operation is very simple, since you only have to play with balance to be able to move from one place to another. Due to the boom that this curious alternative is having, options are being observed that are directly intended for an audience more and more specific. In this sense, we can see how manufacturers in the sector are beginning to create models increasingly oriented to meet more specific needs.
Onewheel, one of the companies that is most closely linked to this product, has just presented the GT, a variant that has a series of new features that are worth detailing. Its fundamental quality lies in the provision of greater power, but the truth is that it incorporates important new features to bring this means of transport closer to areas away from the asphalt. More specifically, it includes a series of solutions that seek, mainly, equip the onewheel with off-road capabilities.
We are faced with a variant, therefore, that draws attention for enjoying a very careful aesthetic and that, of course, raises to make the proposal more visible with the aim of growing in the industry. It should also be noted the provision of a tire adapted to the practice of offroad driving.
Let us see, therefore, what are the main characteristics of this technology, why we are faced with a product model designed to be a benchmark in urban transport and, of course, what differentiates this alternative from other versions more designed for driving on asphalt. Do we have before us the birth of a model with a larger market or are we facing a more niche product?
Onewheel GT, the most capable version of this curious means of transport
It is true that this product is not yet easily seen in the urban environment, but the truth is that its growth is being very pronounced. Based on these data, this manufacturer wanted to offer a product with a performance even more specific. It is striking to see how it has a series of differential elements to approximate its performance to what is expected of a product designed to circulate on tracks and with certain obstacles.
As can be seen in the previous images, we are faced with a technology that stands out, mainly, for having incorporated solutions other than those proposed in a vehicle intended for use on asphalt. As a consequence, can it be said that this innovation can have a great commercial development? The first great alternative is present on the engine. Inside the wheel is a 750W Hypercore block.
Thanks to the incorporation of this model, this kind of skateboard can reach a maximum speed of about 32 km / h. We are, therefore, before a differential variant with regard to dynamic capacity. In addition, a battery has been incorporated that has 21700 cells of cobalt oxide, manganese and lithium, as can be read in the specialized portal New Atlas. Its autonomy, thanks to the incorporation of this novelty, extends to a more than acceptable 51.5 km / h.
In addition, a whole series of additional elements is incorporated, among which stands out the provision of an LED lighting equipment that has a power of up to 300% higher to the present in the original model. It is, therefore, a technology that draws attention to enjoy a greater number of elements designed to improve user safety. At the end of the day, its differential performance is off the asphalt, so extreme caution must be exercised.
A very interesting variant for practicing sporty driving
This type of means of transport stands out, mainly, for being a reference in circulation outside the asphalt. Now, how would he manage by city? Quite possibly, there are more recommended options, since it would be wasting some of the virtues of this particular model. Even so, it is important to bear in mind that this is a product that stands out, above all, for its flexibility in terms of driving style.
This GT model has a price that, as usual, is not very competitive. It is what it has to do with enjoying a product of the newest in the industry! To get a unit, it will be an essential requirement pay up to $ 2,200. The vouchers? If you are in love with the latest technologies and want to take advantage of all the news, yes!
In favor of this option, it is important to note that a financing program is offered which aims to ease the burden of product cost. Even so, it can be said that its price perfectly guides what type of audience this product is aimed at.
