The Skwheel One is a cutting-edge, battery-powered device designed to bring a skiing-like experience to urban environments. It features advanced sensors, gyroscopes, and steering control algorithms integrated into the front wheels, allowing users to glide through city streets with fluid, ski-like movements. Both legs push side-to-side in unison, mimicking the motion of skiing.
Versatile Design for Urban Use
While the Skwheel One is designed primarily for urban settings, the company asserts that it can handle various terrains. With a length of approximately 80-90 cm, this e-ski offers a substantial range of up to 30 km (19 miles) on a full charge. Additionally, it boasts a fast charging capability of just 2 hours.
Powerful Performance and Safety Features
Each wheel of the Skwheel One is powered by a 600-watt motor, delivering a combined output of 2400 watts. The device can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h, though this is limited to 30 km/h on public roads for safety. Users control acceleration, braking, and LED lights using a handheld wireless device that also serves as a handle for easy transport. In case of a wireless controller failure, a mechanical braking system provides a reliable backup.
User-Friendly and Thrilling Experience
The Skwheel One is designed to be user-friendly, with a straightforward 20-minute learning curve for those familiar with skiing. The startup aims to revolutionise urban commuting by offering a thrilling and dynamic alternative to traditional transportation methods. Pre-orders for the Skwheel One are now open, with the price yet to be disclosed.
