As expected though, the Trotter falls short in many other places, for example it weighs 31 pounds which more than the weight of a +XR! The board also doesn’t use a gyroscope, which makes mounting the board very difficult and doesn’t allow for the board to make adjustments to the ride in real time. The Trotter does have some intriguing specs, with a 7 mile range and a top speed of around 13 mph, though it doesn’t exactly meet the Pint, for half the price you’re getting quite a lot of value. On Alibaba you can purchase singular units for around $500 USD, which brings it to about half the price of a Pint. If your child is begging you for a Onewheel-like device and you purchase this for them, be ready to flesh out for the Pint in the near future. Looking from a parents perspective, the board doesn’t go any faster than a casual biking pace, at best, it has lights all over it so no cars will miss them and it hosts just enough range for a fun neighborhood ride, but nothing much more. At its price point, the Surfwheel is definitely targeted toward tech-euthused kids and young teens, which this board is pretty perfect for. Smooth pavement, anything past that will be difficult to stay on the board or go any faster than 3-5mph. The only terrain you can ride this board, from what I’ve seen, is on flat The Surfwheel also uses a rubber pressure pad on the front foot pad rather than having it hid behind the grip tape like the Onewheel, which can affect grip, balance and ride comfort.Īs a commuter vehicle, I don’t really believe it would be feasible to rely on this for consistent speed and usability. The Surfwheel has a much smaller tire compared to the onewheel, making ground clearance almost non-existent, while also limiting acceleration.
All of these lights are controlled through the onboard app, where you can also access riding modes, current speed, trip odometer and battery level. The board comes with front and rear lights, much like the Onewheel, but also adds LED’s running down the entire side rail and wheel well of the board, adding to visibility and colour styling. The Surfwheel SU is the most popular board in their lineup, coming in at $399 USD while hosting a 10 mile range with a top speed of 12mph.
