The HX Wheels are unique and patented electric skateboards with only one wheel. It comes in three different models; the Surf, the Urban and the Fold. The HX Wheel Surf and the HX Wheel Urban have launched online for pre-order to be delivered sometime in August or early fall. Later in August the Surf will be in specialty stores and the Urban will launch in large retail chains. The Fold (a smaller foldable version) will launch after their crowdfunding campaign is successful later in the year.
This product intrigues me and scares me all at once since I lack balance. How in the world would I be able to test this product out if I can’t even stay on the board? That problem may be resolved because the HX Wheel’s Assisted Stabilizing technology intuitively senses shifts in your center of stabilization.
This allows you to easily glide forwards and backwards and carve graceful snowboard-esque turns. The HX Wheel’s gyroscopic sensors are perfectly calibrated so it remains level under your feet.
HX Wheel provides you a powerful & reliable riding experience on a variety of surfaces (pavement, grass, beach, hills & more) with its 500W brushless hub motor. It can ride for an hour (up to 10 miles) on a single charge, or carry a spare battery to easily switch and extend your ride. The removable battery means you can also take the HX Wheels onboard a plane.
Everything has an app these days and HX Wheel is no exception. What did we do before apps and iPhones? The HX WheelApp (Android & IOS ) allows you to switch between 3 different modes for your riding style: training, off-track, and top speed. Use the app to regularly update your board’s firmware, check your battery status, and track your speed with the speedometer.
HX Wheel’s patented DRIFT TYRE along with the app allows you to select your preferred riding style. You can choose from Longboard or Shortboard Styles with the convenience of simply stepping out your front door.
The HX Wheel Urban model has multicolored LEDs light the way as you ride in the dark. The smaller HX Wheel Urban fits almost anywhere (fits in most uni-lockers).
