NEW! PLATYPUS GT with PlatySense 4.0
$249.95
Introducing the legendary Platypus footpad set, now for GT!
The Platypus™ GT material is the same UHMW plastic of the Fangs™ GT bumper, and it's unbreakable, lightweight, and tough as nails. Combined, the two Platy GT footpads are nearly 10oz lighter than stock, and nearly half the weight of a single Kush Wide pad! That's serious weight savings!
Please note that from the time you order it will be around 2 weeks before your pad is made (current estimate for mid-March).
The PlatySense™ is a single-zone sensor. This makes mounting more reliable (since both zones appear to the Onewheel to be activated) and slow speed cutouts are avoided. To dismount, simply lift your heel from the front edge, or jump off, or do a stomp or skid stomp.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Platypus™ is the original wide pad, which spawned a rash of copies. But nothing compares to the original!
Footpad shaping is an art like surfboard shaping, and the preference for each rider is very personal…the Platypus footpads are comprised of soft curves and organic flowing shapes that give a more ergonomic feel under foot. No sharp edges or corners are present. Instead, the Platypus comprises a smooth surface that feels great even when riding barefoot.
The feel under-foot is immediately noticeable, and the very small arch support (middle hump) is almost invisible (maybe 2mm higher than the surrounding areas), but it can certainly be felt by your foot or hand.
The PlatySense™ works with any aftermarket rails too! Anywhere the stock pad fits, the Platypus GT will also.
PlatySense™ kits are sold ONLY as a pair of footpads (front and rear).
The color options match the stock bumpers from Future Motion as well as the Fangs™ GT and BASH bumpers sold here on this site!
For grip tape options, we have PlatyGrip™ (medium grit, size #30) and PlatyGrip+™ (extreme grit, size #20).
Platypus™ with PlatySense™ units are hand-made once ordered and are available only in limited quantities. Once your order is in, you will be placed in the queue for production, which may take a week or more to fulfill. We can only make a certain amount per day, and will try to fill orders as fast as possible.
The PlatySense™ system is non-returnable if there are any visible signs of wear, but free exchanges or repairs will be made for any verified defective units.
