[@briantkiger]

I know people who've sunk more than the $450 difference into upgrading their original Pint's battery, and voided their warranty in the process. Having the extra range is worth the new price, imo.

[@freshlycharged]

Fantastic Point!

[@Obi_Wanwheel]

For NEW purchasers, yes I agree. To switch from an old Pint? 😬 Not so much IMO. 🤙🏽

[@blakehenderson8828]

This was my thought for the XR+. Think it’s called the chi battery but know there’s one that’s quite popular to upgrade with but costs more than this difference and that’s assuming you don’t mess your board up in the process. I wish they’d have increased the top speed on the GT. 20 is fast on a onewheel but wouldn’t mind 25. Maybe the motor or liability on their end but for my needs the XR+ has enough range where this isn’t worth the upgrade

[@craigcollincomedy]

Id've probably moved from the Pint to the Pint X instead of to the XR had it been an option last year. There's so much I love about the Pint and how it handles... the range was my only real complaint, and I wasn't willing to void my Pint warranty to get there. Now I love my XR, but I can't help but wonder what might have been.

[@caramelzappa]

Exactly. This upgrade is right in line with the DIY version in terms of price while being factory made and retaining your warranty. It also replaced the XR in terms of range for $300 less. The pricing is fine.

[@gabrielcayton3261]

Love the constructive criticisms. Not just a love-fest. And the criticisms were realistic and honest. Very thorough review. Thanks.

I just got the Pint X as my first Onewheel and I’m loving it. Hearing about the pros and cons from many reviewers definitely makes me think it’s a great entry model, but not worth the upgrade if you already own a vanilla Pint.

Nah. You can't mention 3rd party and stay in FM's good graces. This way we get the truth.

[@RaidenPhotos]

nah the scary part about future motion is: they sent no free boards out, to literally anyone. unless they work AT futuremotion and do social media stuff there. but like all the float life guys bought their stuff (probably at a lower price since they're a retailer too). pretty much every major channel got stuck buying their own stuff

[@freshlycharged]

@@RaidenPhotos I'm not sure if that's true. I know some KZbinrs that were sent the Pint X the day it was announced.

[@tomgosy]

This could be an absolute winner for FM if they just fixed their pricing. Drop the Pint to $900 ish and the Pint X to $1200 and it would be a definite improvement. Having a sub $1k board would've given a pretty decent prospect for new riders

[@joshmccarty8800]

They should just make one with a removable battery pack. They would make a killing on selling battery packs and then range could be a non issue just throw a couple extra in a pack.

[@Raptorialand]

Usa company? Removable battery? Dude wake up its "throw it away buy new time". And yes i wish they would do that...

Jimmy! Honestly my only complaint about my pint is that speed currently. I literally feel like that slight mph change may be perfect. At 205lbs I get pushback currently at about 14.5 which is like the time I start to feel fun. Pushback at 16.5-17 sounds like worth the upgrade for me

[@JeffSchremsMUSIC]

Nothing more horrifying than a deep carve and your board pushes back. +2mph sounds like a win. Plus the range sucks.

[@thetoasterisonfire2080]

The biggest problem I have with future motion is that they don’t provide replacement parts. The boards are very modular and should be easy to repair but future motion goes out of their way to make repair harder and more costly in-terms of money and time.

Yeah their business model is clearly "consumables" as opposed to "durables"

[@hunteruhuruazrael]

FFM (you could guess the meaning) - This is why I got a GT for my dad because he won't mod an XR he's not interested in doing so (I regretted the GT once my dumbass realized there'd be no mods so I tried planning a trade and he shut it down, and boy I tried convincing him otherwise but is what it is), it would cost more, but I'm sticking with mine and throwing on techrails, badgering it, crazyhub, shortie fenders, and cbxr/chip in a few weeks, already got Air Pad with front C&R grip tape, bang bumpers, Hoosier T2, float savers, tfl steel grizzlies, bearing protection, flight fins set up. I'm an XR dude, for some base product is all they want/need, so us DIY modders are being smashed by FM, so yeah. FFM. #FFM

[@ilpiraatmtb]

Matt over at land surf says the fangs for pint will fit the x. You’ve got your clearance back! And a little safety to go with it. Happy to support those guys, excellent service.

[@1v1me_]

I have the Pint X and just installed the fangs front bumper with the grab handle. It's definitely worth the $100

[@wizardmix]

About price: I know I'm going to sound like a shill or an FM rep here but what I actually am is an industrial designer. We're unfortunately in a very high inflation period that may or may not go away, that's coupled with shipping costs nearly quadrupling and a (I'm going to say manufactured to increase share valuation) fuel scarcity that's driving costs way up. So while yes, it does suck that the prices are rising, that's fairly consistent with the climate we're in. It's also important to remember that most of the tech we consume is priced artificially lower than it should be. I'd be willing to bet that most hardware is subsidized by other much higher profit driven software companies/app companies/accessories/big data. Similarly, I would wager that OneWheels themselves are barely profitable when you take net into consideration but, injection molded accessories can more easily be made domestically and generate a much larger margin.

[@danielgaraycochea6860]

[@peacockhorsepower3181]

I will add to your comment…We aint seen nothing yet. It’s going to get bad. The tax farmers are culling the taxed animals to many useless eaters.

[@FAB1150]

I agree with Andrew on the design. Most people say they don't really like the XR design because it looks like it was made in a garage. I love it because... it looks like it was made in a garage! Every scratch, every bump add to the aesthetic of the XR instead of subtracting from it. It just gets cooler with time, instead of looking old and rough it looks like it was used like it wants to be used.

[@rr1546]

This why I love your channel very fair preview/reviews.I like my original pint as it fits my needs as I don’t go on long rides but thanks for calling out the bs of future motion raising the price of the original pint.I feel like they are not helping themselves by not lowering the prices of the original pint.There a market for EV but not everyone wants to drop a grand on one.770-850 would be a perfect price.

[@justifiably_stupid4998]

I am surprised that there isn't a refurbished market as well. OneWheels are durable to the max but get a lot of scratches and tire damage, which can be easily fixed.

[@demieandbing]

Changed the front bumper with the original pint bumper as sooon I got the pint x.

[@freshlycharged]

how is it?

[@demieandbing]

@@freshlycharged I like it a lot and none of others really noticed it till I told them. I do think if u are new to pint x with no pint bumper u will have to buy a new set is annoying. Also it makes very interesting scenarios for Float plate that I can’t wait to get for pint x.

[@MtnKingOfTheHill]

Two wild and crazy knowledgeable guys! Thanks Jimmy and Andrew for the great insights! The lack waterproofing and price increase to me were my biggest issues. Also it sounds like you can’t fly with the PintX from some comments that I’ve read elsewhere which was a huge selling point of the Pint to me, so that I can always have a wheel with me. For me a lot of this was playing catch-up with the third party so that folks would buy new instead of used and upgrading. It’s still a new and fun Onewheel but I’m with Andrew they just had me wanting more!

[@one_point21_gigawatts]

XR for life 😊... Great discussion Jimmy!

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks Joe!

[@pavelpratasevich]

I'm with Andrew on this one. I recently switched from the old pint to an XR, and I'm definitely holding on to it for now. Good point from Jimmy on the clearance. From what I saw so far, it looks like the GT will suffer the same problem, it just looks too low.

[@ibrewalot]

For someone coming in new to the OW market, the Pint X seems to be the sweet spot. I've wanted one for a long time and finally pulled the trigger for the X based on the speed/range bumps. I am too new to have many of the things that bothered you bother me since I have no experience to compare it to. I'm just going to enjoy my new X and smile my way into the OW Community. 🙂

[@WaldenSpawn]

Same!

[@rojoburrito]

Float your way into the community....welcome friend🙂

[@TheNerdBuster]

Just got a pint x used for $1200 with Hypercharger. I started with a Pint and I love it (but it's just alittle too slow). I still want an XR but I still love having a smaller form factor board. So glad I got a Pint X at such a good price :D

[@KitesurfHatteras]

Finally now that my snowboarding season is over I am getting around to reading the reviews on the new Onewheels. Have had my Pint for two years and have toyed with the idea of an XR at times because of the off-road ability but I have learned to ride the Pint on gravel roads and some trails, so don't need it. I like that the Pint is more maneuverable, lighter in weight and easy to store behind the seat in my vehicle, making it very accessible. I travel and camp and it is the best way to have quick, easy, and fun transportation when stopping in town or camping. I get over 10 miles with plenty of reserve on my Pint and now have a car charger and the quick charger, so range is not a problem. The big downside I see with the X is the lower clearance, as well as I don't want any extra weight. So will stick with the Pint. Only problem is that I had a sudden malfunction when riding the other day. Top speed showed 14.3 mph, flat surface, no push back the whole ride, which was about a mile. Suddenly locked up it seemed, and threw me. Hit hard on my left hip but no breaks luckily. The wrist guards saved my hands. A few scrapes and bruises, but trying to find out what happened. I have experienced nose dive before when battery was low, and another freak pitch forward at lower speed which was due to sand in the crack in the road on an uphill grade. No understanding of what happened here. I tried to find something about a Simple Stop glitch that I heard people mention, but can't find anything on that. Waiting for FM to get back to me, but not expecting much help there. Two days later I sent an email inquiring and they said they are waiting for my serial number, purchase info, etc., ALL of which I sent them with the Diagnostic Data back the day of the accident. Battery was at 60%.

[@nailofwit]

Thanks for the honest review Jimmy, far more trustworthy than all the influencers who got the freebie.

[@steveshot81]

Andrew hit the nail on the head.They didn't make a better product.They should have fixed the pushback issues by adding features for it on the app.Basically your getting a better battery for and additional $450.

[@MasonH24]

Have had both for almost a year now.. and I love my XR way more than my Pint. And good on you for being honest about the bundles. The 3rd party folks have better products anyway. Float Life rail guards are about 100 times better than FM rail guards, any day of the week.

[@mex55]

the pint x is my 1st one wheel so i cant speak to how it feels compared to the older model or the XR, however as a new rider i feel the pint x is great to get going and feeling what a one wheel can do and go, ive had mine for a about 6days now and ive taken it on dirt,road,grass and it feels capable to carry me around a burly dude weighing 200+ lbs.

[@wizardmix]

About Innovation: There's A LOT of hate going towards FM over the GT because it is a completely new product and whether it was intentional or not, that hangs the aftermarket community scrambling to catch up. The new Pint X looks is a bit more "if it's not broke, don't fix it, let's just make it more competitive with the current XR." I don't mind this pragmatic approach as it now gives people who like the pint the ability to hang with the XRs on group rides and enjoy a greater range/speed. I think no matter what, FM would get criticism. The more troubling issue seems to be that front sensor.

[@shalvami]

There is no Innovation or something new in a self balancing ESC tech, everyone has it since 2003. They are just bullshitting, f-ing monopolists, doing whatever they want. I wish some other companies start making this like electric skateboard, what they gonna do then? they will be f--ed.

[@DieselRamcharger]

@@shalvami this is exactly why FM spends 90% their budget stifling competition not innovating their own shit. remember. one wheel IS NOT the first one wheeled skateboard.

[@evoke2104]

I wonder why more companies haven't started making their own, I mean they have the base design already, it's just the electronics side of it, sort that out and there's a big market, and then imagine if they let 3rd parties on board to make accessories, and let you repair certain things then they'd have big sales and, that would certainly make FM have a different approach

[@georgestweeter]

I got the pint early this summer, ~6months ago. My biggest complaint is the range. I am 6'2" ~220lbs, so basically the limit of size for the one wheel, and get about 6 miles of range usually. There's a big hill going up to a park by me and that hill alone, it's about 1/3 of a mile in total, will drain about 12% battery. Ive been stranded once, my Pint died, but showed it had 15% battery left, yet it wouldn't go any more. After the showcase i found a video about the Quart aftermarket battery for the Pint that basically doubles the range for about $350(if i remember correctly), i think i will end up getting that.

[@ThujanK]

I messed up my BMS from a faulty Quart. Ended up costing me 2x what I initially thought and 4 months without my pint.

[@Itowle9]

Well the pint states that it only gets that limited range so why are you complaining? That's like buying a mower with a 48 inch deck and getting upset you can only cut 48inch strips of grass each pass?

[@real_ez8412]

@@Itowle9 hes complaining because when you look at the range of a pint at least on paper it seems pretty far but when you actually ride it daily all it does is suck the fun out of your experience when you realize you have to charge it already on top of the speed at 14mph just feels really slow.

[@georgestweeter]

@@real_ez8412 Exactly, you only get about 30-40 minutes out of it per ride, assuming you're not just going as fast as you can. I usually cruise around 12mph, although sometimes i wish i could go faster. Then when you're not even 20 minutes in and you feel like you basically just started it tells you you're at 50% battery and you need to turn around, that's just a buzz kill. If i had the expendable cash, or i lived close enough to work that i could ride a one wheel to justify the purchase, i would've gotten a bigger one with a greater range. And it's possible to upgrade your battery capacity with aftermarket stuff for about the difference in cost from a new Pint to a new PintX. So i could sell my Pint used and buy the PintX, idk what the used Pint market is like rn, I'd assume probably $800 for it, then put that towards buying a PintX, which after taxes and other add-ons, like rail guards, would probably be about $1500. Leaving me to cover the $700 gap. Or i could go for aftermarket batteries for about half of the cost. That's why i brought up getting aftermarket batteries.

[@Itowle9]

@@real_ez8412 The website literally says 6-8 miles under the product. Being 220lbs I'd say it fits the parameters.

[@fazer12779]

1:25 That is a usual pint characteristic. Mine used to do that all the time!

[@ahaydon84]

I'm glad they came out with new products. But the pint X is super underwhelming. The range is nice, but they really could have put alot more into it. Better light bar. Better foot sensors. Slightly larger footpads. Suspension. Customizable LEDs. More clearance. Handle hole. They just threw a bigger battery in a pint and they are Charging 50% more. Not to mention, an XR is so customizable, you can make that board anything you want.

[@dsxmotorsports]

I've been eye balling one wheels for a whole year, saving up my pennies every Chance I could. I'm a motorsports program director and unless I bring my race car and trailer with me, I don't get to bring the grom, so the one wheel was always something I kind of wanted for the mobility, and cost was a major factor. The Used market is still really strong on these with used pints selling round 750-800$ in CO XRs in the 1200$ range. Even though the price point was 1400$ for the new pintX, the fact that a hot new revision came out GOT me on one. And I freaking love it! In the scheme of things, its new price puts it in the used XR market, without all the scratches, miss matched problems, with a warranty, and the sense of pride knowing every mile is yours. Glad this came out, glad I'm riding without any major issues, and man, this has sold me on the product. I can't wait till people start getting their GTs so I can scoop up a deal on a used XR+ to add to the stable.

[@schaddalton]

With the decreased clearance, that I do find really odd. It would not be hard for FM to simply construct the rails with slight downward angles starting near the outer edges of the tire so that the axle is effectively dropped an extra inch or so relative to the bottoms of the footpads. It would also look kind of cool, too, introducing some angles into the profile of the board, IMO.

The form factor is nice, as well as the range increase. The price though put me off to it.

🌕 I ride the ole Pint and love it for its carving ability. To think of having a heavier one that can scrape on a tight slow turn is a turn off for me. I was ready to move up to the X when my local shop quoted me the $1050 price as the resale value is great for my old one, but once I read the listing for the X at $1400 it’s not worth the extra cost even though my entire reason was the extra distance a short coming for the ole Pint. Though I actually found to achieve 10 miles at 9/10 /11 mph. And generally only ride around about 8 or 9 and like the less charging time. Keeping mine and considering I got a deal at $950. Still a value at $1050. I love it so much I am thinking of buying another before its price goes up. Have one for my grand kids to ride with me. Only a little sad that my Pint I get push back at anything over 12 mph. This is my 3rd OW love it way more than My old XR since I don’t ride the dirt. My hats off to the motion crew industries. Living in Santa Cruz and been riding these since I first saw them on the cliffs 4 years ago. These boards are built good and built to last.🤙

[@firdaushbhadha2597]

I agree with everything you guys said. I will be very hesitant to buy another Future Motion Product. Just months ago they said there is nothing to worry about, buy your Pints and XRs without worry. Now we have a Pint with a Quartz Battery marked up by 50% and an XR with an essentials package marked up by 100%. All the benefits of the Pint X are due to the extra voltage/watts on the battery. They had almost no motor, housing, or sensor upgrades (I say almost cause i don't know). Battery tech has gotten cheaper, not more expensive. This is really poor business practice, and I will vote with my wallet.

[@e5211]

The general economic condition at the moment is going through inflation. I'm sure that affects their bottom line. From shipping and transportation to raw material and manufacturing it's all inflating. Just look at the PPI (producer price index). I don't think future motion is raising prices just because.

[@oskarfallman]

Agree, they have just added cells to the pint. (the XR battery pack) not worth the markup. Yes prices and components have become more expensive because of the shipping problems around the world. Still I don't think this has to do with it.

Voted with my valet and bought pint X

[@AlbertoNoys]

I'm with Andrew on this one. Two years and that is all they could think of? They could have put 15 more cells in the wasted space on the front and have a 15s3p, but they didn't even put a hole to be a handle. They could not artificially cripple the top speed and riding modes in the firmware/app. How about better footpad sensors, or brighter LEDs? So many possibilities but we got nothing.

I am thrilled that they improved the range, but they left off a lot of things that would have been incredibly easy improvements. Examples: The ability to increase the brightness of the headlight. This could have been a feature in the app. If you are riding at night and don't need the full range, turn the brightness way up. Have more speed warnings. The Pint X should have an audible beep when it's motor is maxing out. The battery bar should also flash red as a visual warning. How about using the battery LEDs as a speedometer so that you can glance down and get some indication of your speed (without having to mess with your phone). How about including the $3.00 charging port plug. And yes - put a front handle under the nose. All of this would be incredibly easy and not expensive at all.

I also think it was a jerk move to raise the price of the original Pint after making literally 0 improvements. They should have lowered it to $850 so that more people could afford to get one in the first place.

The Onewheel legend himself finally reviews the pint x

[@freshlycharged]

Finally, a new Onewheel for me to ride and make videos about!

[@jacobpaint]

I’m glad it’s such a modest upgrade and that they are hiking up the price because I have no intention of upgrading to any of them. If they brought out a great new upgraded board that was looked better, was waterproof, much faster and with the better range then my old Pint would lose value and feel more inferior. For the most part I’m happy to take it slow although the better range would be nice sometimes. As much as some people might not like the push back I think it’s quite a dangerous device and it’s very easy to misjudge the speed so I think FM are wise to increase the pushback to make it more safe overall. If they reduced it I think they would need to include an audible alarm in the board but that seems even more annoying - people would be able to open the board and disable the speaker. I watch you in this video and you’re standing quite straight while distracted with the camera work. If the board malfunctioned and nose dived I expect you are more experienced than most so as to either react or roll better but that sudden dismount can be awkward and remove your ability to control how you land. I had my first fall 6 weeks ago and while I blame myself it gave me a taste of what it’s like to be caught off guard… I was going very slowly and the Pint cut out but as said, it was my fault. I had someone recording a few quick shots of me and I had been picking up the board and moving it without switching it off. I was also tired but wanted to shoot the quick video but being tired and distracted meant that I didn’t notice that the nose was riding low until after I fell and when I fell my reaction was so slow that I took one step then went down hard on my right arm. I broke that shoulder and a bone in my other wrist. Now I have to put up with everyone telling me I have to sell it even though it was clearly my own fault… if I fall again I really will look stupid.

[@3Carbon6]

Did you continue riding?

[@carlagnello6008]

Just got the bundle and completely agree. Fender worth it and ultra charger but extra bumper and rail protectors are not. Can easily get things through 3rd party and would recommend since less expensive

[@marklabelle7371]

My KS16X is awesome, had it just over 2 mo. Was going to get a one wheel Gt. to take on the beach, but with it not available, learning more about Fm’s history and business practices, I want nothing to do with them. This review has me thinking about rethinking and getting a pintx, cause I still want to beach ride. (Sugar sand, kicks the KS’s butt) Thanks for all the informative videos!

[@bmwolfe2786]

Pint to Pint X really just feels like the Onewheel Plus to the Plus XR (extended range). The Jump from Gen1 to the Plus was huuuge. The jump from the XR to the GT seems pretty big as well. I’ve been waiting to hear them drop something different enough to go out and get. I love that they’re offering the rounder tires. They’re harder to learn on, but once you “get gud” they’re so much more fun. The pint X is just more range really. Little more speed. So it’s a little better than the XR jump, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same product. They only exist to provide people with different price options. So yea, I mean if you have the money or you can sell your Pint and you want more range…. Do it up. The range extension is pretty awesome. My Plus gets around 5 or 6 miles, and yea if I bring the charger I can have it up and running again in 45 mins or so; but not having to do that because you have double the range really is a game changer. The hyper charger is a game changer too. Being able to go 6 miles, chill for 40 mins, and then get another 6 miles is pretty nuts. Make that 12 miles or 32 miles!!! Well, now it’s just insane. The GT battery probably takes a good 3 to 5 hours or so, but I’m mean… 32 miles… that’s nuts. You could ride literally all day, maybe need 1 partial charge…Maybe, lmao.

Great video.. couldn't agree more on #3. A true waterproof rating would be extremely helpful! One of the only deterrents to buying this.

Too late Jimmy, I already got the same bundle you did 😂. For a first time onewheel owner though, I'm pretty happy overall.

[@Siberius-]

1:23 - That part concerned me a bit the first time I saw this video (was concerned about nose-dives and stuff). Now that I know more (for anyone else like me), the device shut off there because he went backwards for a tiny bit, which is another optional easier way to stop the device by just putting the tail down. It can be changed on the app to be able to go backwards without shutting off, in which case you would stop by either hopping off with both feet, or alternatively lifting the rear heel for a bit, if it's not a matter of urgency. I can't see much point in me getting the larger charger for me personally as an individual... there is SO much time for it to be charging when it's not in use (including overnight). That suppose that would just be for people who drain their battery on a long ride and then wait for it to charge back up a bit at some location, to continue on further. Also for people who aren't proactive with charging.

[@FrignSkooter]

Definitely prefer the refined finish look of the pint over the XR. Always thought the XR looked like it was made in a garage

[@Dave-kq7gv]

not sure if it's relevant or not, but I recently sold my XR & bought an Apollo Explore scooter. just a data point... Cheers Jimmy, love your channel 🍺

Thanks for sharing! I'd love to try an Apollo one day.

Love your videos but just a little tip, you should touch up the edge of the knife you were using. You can see it was actually tearing, not slicing the packing tape. Lol on the broken clavicle sticker. Also I like the DIY look better, I think.

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks for the tip!

[@caramelzappa]

No front handle still is a bummer. I added a strap to my pint, attatched to the front bumper screws, because I feel a front handle is a necessity. The maghandle is great but you need the front one in different situations. As much as I'm dissapointed at the lack of improvements, I honestly think the Pint X is the OW to buy now. It's relatively light and easy to carry, and the range you get for the price point is the sweet spot. The GT is hard to justify at it's EUC level price, the regular Pint has too little range to be very viable. The Pint X is kind of the goldilocks of the group, and it's certainly the one I would recommend to newcomers. As for myself I think I'll finally be buying a Quart Battery for my Pint and calling it a day. There's nothign to entice me to upgrade to a Pint X or GT, and I haven't missed anything about my XR (Sold) except for a bit of range.

[@coreykirby1632]

You will go faster on the pint x your not going faster on the pint with a chi battery you should just get the pint x and see if you can get a Chi battery for that so you get even more range and Cruz around 16 17 mph compared to 14 ish on the pint

[@caramelzappa]

@@coreykirby1632 If I wanted to go faster I wouldn't have sold my XR or I'd buy a gt. The pint is best for slower speed carving. No reason to push speed on it.

[@coreykirby1632]

@@caramelzappa I mean yea but thing is especially within the product line if they offer faster ones I would go with that you could of just swapped your xr tire for a more rounder profile that way you get the carving just like you will on the pint and not sacrifice the significant decrease in speed and range or get the gt that has a more rounder profile stock has everything the pint has even more speed then the xr and even more range. Or if you didint care about that at least the pint x especially since they raised the price on the og pint

[@caramelzappa]

@@coreykirby1632 I dunno what you're getting at, I made the choice that made sense for the way I ride and my needs. I kept the pint because it's lighter and nimbler than the XR. A rounded tire on the xr would be more carvey but not lighter. I cruise around at about 12mph most of the time. If I cared at all about speed I'd probably have an EUC instead.

Eventually when I have a job in a few years I might buy a ping. I love longboarding but the pint looks awesome!

[@AmanUllah-nz6vi]

Jimmy what do you think is a better investment: used XR or new pintX?

[@Mikenopolis]

I just got a used cheap Pint that will need a new battery if I actually want to ride it with purpose, it's been 5 years since I've been on a Onewheel and the rounder wheel profile is giving my ankles a workout! For the Pint X, I feel like instead of thickening up the bottom that 5mm, they should've pushed the increase thickness to the top (above the axle)

[@weeg743]

Great review/video as always. The X seems like a great addtion. As others have said a $950 Pint with a battery upgrade is running you at least 1300. I did the battery upgrade and while I certainly got extra distance, its not been as much as advertised nor what I am reading people are getting wth the X. Plus the extra speed is a big sell for alot of people. The 1400 price point sounds about right for me, especially when the XR is 400 more and the X gives you most of the same features.

[@freshlycharged]

Great insight! So are you getting it?

[@rileyblair7273]

Yeah it's worth it to buy a pint x over buying a pint specifically to upgrade it but if you already have a pint the battery upgrade seems more worth it than getting a whole new board.

[@alexklu1534]

This was a great video. Thanks Jimmy.

[@freshlycharged]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@itsbillcoop]

I just started the video and I’m excited.

[@RCDevotee]

Thanks for the video Jimmy and Andrew! I think you can justify the X price as being significantly cheaper than an XR with pretty much the same specs. Of course, I would rather get an EUC but to each their own :)

[@freshlycharged]

Well said!

[@bmwolfe2786]

All that stuff in the bundle is for changing the colors. No you don’t “need” them, but it looks like you didnt even want them lol. At least you have backups now, for when they get beat up. The carbon fiber is nice, and the hyper charger is an absolute necessity. I almost pulled the trigger on the GT, but I decided to wait a bit for reviews….like yours!! Thank you for being the guinea pig. Awesome video btw! The mag handle is also great. Before those came out we were buying these strap-on handle things that were meant as a grab handle for the top bar of a Jeep. Like the inner frame roll bar above your head. It’s a little nylon strap that would have two points to fix around the roll bar a then a handle hangs off. It was perrrrfect to throw on the bars of the XR. Some 3rd parties made some options too, but I just grabbed the Jeep handles from Amazon for like 5 dollars lol.

[@blaskotron]

Front bumper size increase is just for symmetry, no battery in that area so it should be replaceable with a regular pint bumper

[@ulvegutten2056]

I really like your videos. Informative and a great help when everything Onewheel have is so expensive. Love my nabouring Sweedish armor(ed) and diy`s, thanks man! came for the Pint, stayed for all your videos.

[@projectsin001]

I think they should remove pushback on certain modes with one wheel. For instance, cruising. So that you won’t have that nervous build up on when you might fall off when push back occurs

[@austinstephens8123]

Pick up an aftermarket bumper kit when they release. That will fix the clearance and or give you a handle.

[@real_ez8412]

What sucks is this is replacing the XR on their store but the XR I still think is better for multiple reasons. Would be nice if instead of this they just lowered the cost of XR a bit to make way for the new GT and improved water resistance on the XR. Glad I have an XR already. What makes XR better at least for me and prob many: 1. the indent carrying at the front of the board is comfortable and easy to use. 2. The push back isnt so drastic 3. The Look an XR simply looks better once you add everything to it 4. The wider tire aka you feel more like your floating bumps dont effect your rides as much as on the pint. 5. size Its a big board that gets you higher off the ground, IDK if its just me but when I made a swap from a pint to an XR I loved the height difference. 6. Wider stance and foot pads aka more comfortable even stock! 7. Clearance higher up more clearance pint already had bad clearance pint X got fatter bleh

[@Andrew-vt4jt]

I would take my XR over the Pint X for almost every application. Unless I needed to haul it on public transit a lot. The XR is still small enough to be convenient for public transit so it would have to be a very unique situation.

[@offroadskater]

@@B-RaDD With the included mag handle, treaded wheel (subjective, I know) and fender and higher foot pads in the GT, the price difference to the xr is almost negligible for me. I think the upgrade from pint to pint x is much worse money wise. 40+% instead of 25% for less increase in value for the customer respectively. If you had to buy all extras on the xr you spent almost the same amount of money as you are on a new GT with extras included. I own both a pint and 2 XRs, btw. The pint x proposition is too little for too much in my opinion. Anticipating my GT.

Metal AND plastic would be way cool. I swapped my pint for an XR last year, and I’m planning on waiting for the GT. Pint X definitely a good buy with its price, but I agree the thing should have an IP rating.

charging at 3 amps as compared to 1.3a gives you less battery life both in run time and charge cycles.

Glad you you an X and always happy to see the new vids.. im waiting g on a gt :)

[@thefoss721]

I would say only get the GT if you already have a pint, but going from a pint to the X doesn’t seem worth the minor upgrade , 2mph and a few more miles is just a “new product” but I’m used to crazy stats in a EUC it’s hard to go back to one wheel honestly, but one wheel will always hold a dear spot in my soul they are super cool and shwanky

[@theeox]

The biggest difference other then size of board is how they handle top speeds. The Xr is way more comfortable at higher speeds then the pint. With the Pint you feel like you're always topping out unless your a slow rider.

[@rojoburrito]

The GT has a 3hp motor instead of the 2 on the XR

[@thefoss721]

@@rojoburrito all one wheel motors are 750w,, but the GT has higher rated cells and more so better voltage ratings so they can push more energy out of the motor but they are all the same, I doubt the speed goes up compared to the XR, probably just torque which is nice, but getting push back at even 19-21mph is easy to compete with, I have a legit suspension EUC, same price as the XR that easily goes 31mph and 50 miles, the one wheel needs to address suspension and speed and then maybe I’ll consider one then.

[@brendanmurphy3693]

Great Vid thanks again

[@lolzguyl]

Funny thing about the wood and metal vs plastic look of not the pint (that I know of), but the GT, is that the GT uses a metal that was treated to have a certain finish that prevents heat from conducting from the motor into the rails, making the GT far more prone to overheating and needing a break. Which is really really bad imo.

I’m still riding a Onewheel,+ and it seems like they essentially took the capabilities of that older machine and fit it into a Pint and then priced it somewhere between those two machines. That’s not terrible, but my biggest wish is for more safety features for commuters who don’t want to be wearing hip pads around town because there’s an unknown likelihood of crashing. Hopefully the bigger batteries in the new machines will help with that a little.
