Hyperion Hoop

We've got *another* pair of pre-made 27" hoops available for immediate shipment! One is a 4th generation Phoenix in HDPE and the other is a 5/8" Hyperion Lite in clear polypro. These are new or like-new hoops with full warranties at a big discount and are likely to go quick.

More than a year ago we started working on a prototype of an internal battery 5/8" hoop. It's a variant of the Hyperion Lite powered by lightweight LiPo batteries. A 29" hoop weighs about 8.6 ounces and in testing it's been getting about 2 hours of runtime. Charging is via USB C.

The project has been on the back burner because of other priorities. Now that we're in our slow season between summer and the holidays, putting it into production is a possibility.

We're considering offering a pre-order on the new hoop for $325, with an expected lead time of 4-6 weeks. It'll mean some investment in batteries and other components, and spending some time optimizing assembly processes, so this post is to gauge interest in the new hoop. If this is something you'd be interested in, let us know! We'll post more technical details below.

And if there's some feature or design change you'd like MORE than an internal battery 5/8" hoop, let us know!
