I just wanted to say thanks so much for this video! As someone who has never experienced ANY board sport and an amateur rollerblader I was nervous ordering and learning a Onewheel. Because of your funny, safe, and realistic approach I was able to get up and ride in about 15 minutes with only one true minor fall. Appreciate you taking one for the team and sharing your learnings so I didn't have to. So glad I ordered one. Only on day 2, and we already have 12 miles on the board. It's a total blast, and already made a new friend/riding partner out of a complete stranger who just saw me riding. P.S. you're right about the stupid plug....lost it on my first day, got replacements at the store that don't fit, and have decided to just replace packing tape between charges.

Hi there! Just wondering how your experience went! I just discovered this channel and have just bought a used Pint (not the X) a few days ago. 40 years old and about 240-245 lbs. First day took me a while to find the balance and stop the jitters. Looking way ahead and not down definitely helped. After about two dozen embarrassing attempts to mount it (and a sprained left ankle), I finally got the hang of it and rose 2.6 miles! Good luck!

[@wizrom3046]

Just found your channel. 👍 Congrats on the Pint, Onewheels are great fun. I've got over 7000 miles on my XRs and the thing I wish someone had told me at the start would be to practice jumping off with both feet. Forget heel lift dismount and simple stop, just practice over and over slowing right down and jump off with both feet. Do it so many times that you can do it nice and neat and your Pint just plops down gracefully... jumping off heelside is best, so your Pint is in front of you. It sounds like a dumb thing to practice, but you program your brain/reflexes for both feet to instantly leave the board at the same time, and be able to do it effortlessly. Then later, when you are in a bail out situation (will happen a lot) you can just get both feet instantly off the board and get them on the ground in a safe footing, trust me, this will save your bacon... 😎

[@jones616]

What a brilliant review! I'm 70yrs old and in the process of advertising my bike for sale; I don't want my last ride to be a wreck. Guess I'm not seriously considering a one wheel, but if I were younger I think it would be right up my alley cause it's the closest thing to effortless motion available, that doesn't require a license, etc.kind of like flying on the ground. If you're pretty sure your bod can stand a moderate smackdown I'd go for it

[@jeffl915]

I am 59, and considering one of these. I will say, as I have gotten older, I respect not getting injured, as healing time is longer. I can ride a skateboard just fine, and a unicycle, so I consider myself to have decent balance. I would lean towards the GT, as I weigh in the 190’s. My wife tells me I would get killed on one, but that never stopped any of my other purchases 😂

@@jeffl915 for the record my XR has pulled me up some pretty steep hills with no hesitation, I can understand the attraction of GT, wish one wheel would settle that right to repair issue.

[@mdart929]

Thank you for making this video, Richard. I watched it last night and took my Pint S out today for a first real ride. My first attempt was frustrating, the leg wobble was a thing, and I was doubting my purchase. Also note that I'm a retired old man at 64. Today I took what you said about that and worked through it along with some of your other tips. I eventually got about a mile and a half ride in before my legs were done. But it was fun!! I still need to work on carving and tighter turns, but I can see myself getting there now. I also agree about the accessory package.

That because it's easy to shred. When you only go 1mph of course youre gonna fail over and over. The motor disengages when a sensor isnt engaged under 3mph. Thats all on the rider.

The process of learning to ride a OneWheel is not at all easy like Future Motion dictates, I had a VERY hard time on it my first week of ownership. This was a great video to watch, seeing your learning process was super on point. But, once I figured out riding stance and letting the OneWheel control itself and read my body movements, I started really enjoying the riding experience. Everyone learns differently, and once you get the hang of it, the OneWheel is an absolutely awesome toy, I love my pint!

[@TheLionheartcartoon]

@@travishamiltontattoos4635 I noticed that when my tire pressure is too low, I get severe wobbling on flat pavement/ sidewalks. Granted the XR has a tire that is more squared than the pint, I keep a closer eye on the PSI now as a result, removes some of the 'squirellyness' when there shouldn't be any :)

[@travishamiltontattoos4635]

@@TheLionheartcartoon well usually its the opposite. Higher pressure =higher carvability because there less tire thats actually touching the ground at any given time. But i guess if the pressure was REALLY low the results would be similar. Almost a mushy kind of feel. Out of the box its supposed to be 20 psi. But I've seen tires vary greatly out of the box. I've seen 13, 23 and 27. Even saw a post where someone's was 37!.

[@jinxfpv6637]

This is so accurate. I'm on day 2 with mine and tried starting on grass. Turns out uneven ground is NOT the place to learn. So I've been pissing off my neighbors the last half hour riding up and down the hallway. Still get the wobbles but the hallway is tight and so are the turns, so it helps. Once my helmet arrives I'm gonna hit the parking lot. Made it up to 7 mph and feeling more comfortable. But my dismounts are less than graceful.

Change your shoes. I have 2 pair of shoes that cause my foot to not be detected consistently by the front sensor and I'm 220 lbs. Try some Vans or Converse and you will get a better fell for the board and that problem should go away

Toe shoes from Vibram 5 Fingers are the best for riding in my opinion. Its like being barefoot and you get a lot more control.

Thanks for the video. Most of the turning is done with the rear foot so normally people have their dominant foot on the rear like a snowboard. Right "handed" people have left foot forward. Left "handed" people are "goofy footed" with the right foot forward.

[@tonystubbs9189]

While I agree with the comment about turning with the rear foot the rest really isn't accurate at all.

[@Funcentric]

@@tonystubbs9189 it’s not really a matter of agreeing or not. It’s observing how things are. Most people who are right footed are not goofy footed. Makes sense because think about which foot you would turn with - the dominant one.

[@tonystubbs9189]

Well anyways this version makes more sense. Left footed and left handed are quite different. And you may not know a large portion of left handed people have become quite ambidextrous in this right handed world. Rightys don't notice this.

[@dp8454]

Good video. I really agree about the fender. Lucky for me the shop I bought from through one in for free. I'm not sure about the need for charge plug but I don't ride in dirt and water. You treat machines good and they will treat you better. The rail guards are a waste. You can use the same protective tape we use on Mt bike frames and SUP rails. Works awesome! I'm a little on the fence about the Fang thing. I bought a V1 7 yrs ago rode 1500mi and never had a nose dive. My son had a nose dive 50ft from the house? He hit hard and it scared the crap out of him. So I built front safety wheels for it out of some old roller blades...Super easy diy mod. They didn't help my sons fear but I left them on anyway. I put a Two-x battery on my V1 and even though the motor is rated 500w for the given battery voltage my ranged more than doubled. Did I mention that I weight about 250lbs LOL. I put an after market mini lighted voltmeter on it and never looked back. Never needed to carry a phone again. When the Pint came out I had to try it. Wholly crap what a cool board! I rode XR's side by side with my V1/ Two-x and in my world I couldn't feel the difference. I really wanted a new toy anyway. so bought a Pint. I just ride for the ride. I'm not a basher or a speed demon and my Mountain bike is my off road machine of choice. I bought the Pint and 3 different wore out tires later I upgraded the battery to make it a Quart. Personally I love the tighter stance of the Pint. This is a turny little machine and even at 250lbs it will go further than care to ride in one session. I'm 66 now and still 250lbs and still having a blast on my Pint. I've ridden everything and for me it's still my fav! I guess not for everyone.

[@dezinetech1000]

Just got mine today. It’s a surf/snow board on wheels. Its pricey but awesome. It’s easier for those experienced with skate, surf or snow boards. Balance is key! Even if you move forward, you still want your head to be above the wheel and not in front and just turn with you hips like a surf/snow board. You want stand vs bending (unstable) little bend ok but too much bend board starts to shake. When you stop, slow down and come to a stop and hop off with both feet. Bottom line, Practice makes perfect. You will bust your ass but you will learn from it.

[@malcolmvanorder5453]

The charge port doesn't need to be protected, and I think the best use of the cover is to prevent dirt from getting stuck in there and blocking you from plugging in the charger. I lost my charge port cover the second day I had my board and never replaced it. I currently have 1500 miles on my pint on and off road, in the city, in parks, at festivals, etc. I've even gotten caught in the rain a few times where the water running down the street was a good 6+ inches deep(first month I owned it got caught out and about when hurricane Laura hit).

[@TheLionheartcartoon]

Good day fellow floater! Your learning curve was very close to mine, even though I picked the XR. I have skateboard experience and even with it, I found learning the onewheel still required a lot of practice. But after a month of having it, I have clocked in 587 Km on it at time of writing and I don't regret it one bit. Even with the steep price. (had to get a fender, as the rocks were pooling on the pads and going in unexpected puddles would make things quite messy). Rail guards are doing their job as well, they're scuffed but take the damage instead of the aluminum frame. I often go on hour-long rides, pushing 20+km in distance just because riding that thing is just so amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience, too! Be safe and keep on floating!

[@RichardKohberger]

I’ve own a pint since last year. I don’t remember another KZbin video name that I watched after my accident. I learned to never chase the top speed while commuting! I almost broke my ribs. I couldn’t breathe properly for a while. Also since I used to skateboard I thought that I would learn to ride easy but that’s also a different learning process and be careful in the unpaved road you’ll fly off the board so easy. Anyways I don’t mean to discourage any one and I’m not sponsored either but the one wheel is still a lot of fun when you don’t chase the top speed! Be safe, God bless you all.

[@chewypinecone]

FEW BITS OF ADVICE 16:59 -lol just turn on the board, the motor will be engaged and the board will sit still Also, no time stamp needed for this one, buy some rail guards/sidekicks! While the sides of your board are made of metal, they will still get quite scratched up overtime. Also, that charge plug is extremely easy to lose. My advice is to just put two little pieces of scotch tape on the flat parts of the plug connecting to your rails, and it just makes me that much more confident when I take this thing somewhere. I’ve already lost one plug somehow. You may also want to consider reinforcing it every time. 8:50 your foot placement is fine, but your shoes are bad for this. From reddit, here’s Glyph8’s explanation on how the footpads work: Front sensor pad (there is no sensor on rear pad) works thus: If < 1 MPH, BOTH sides of pad need to sense pressure. If either left or right side senses no pressure, motor disengages (= the heel-lift stop). If > 1 MPH, ONLY left OR right side needs to sense pressure. This allows lifting heel OR toe when turning or carving. (You can also shift your heel or toe by sliding it rather than lifting it, like you‘re grinding out a cigarette with your shoe). If > 1 MPH and BOTH sides sense no pressure for > 1 second, motor disengages on assumption rider has fallen off (deadman's switch). The 1-second buffer is to allow for your foot leaving the pad briefly due to a jostle/bump/drop etc. without disengaging the motor. It also allows you to quickly shift your foot around. Thanks for reading, and protect yourself and the board!! Have fun :D

[@viperaspec]

the reason the heel lift is more difficult is: lets say you want to stop and get off. you lift your front heel and your inclination is probably to then dismount your rear foot. at which point the self balancing is off and your front foot is likely to step back down. at which point you've engaged the wheel again and pressure is on the front which makes it go forward when you dont have both feet on the board

[@billarroo]

[@Siberius-]

Okay you've convinced me on the padded motorcycle jacket. It's less of a hurdle to riding as far as putting on elbow pads, and it has the shoulders. Plus it can look a lot cooler. If I'm forced to ride in the sun, that's less skin that needs sunscreen, and UV rays also go through regular clothing. Then also just the general skin coverage to prevent grazes on areas that aren't like an elbow. After some research, you actually have the exact jacket I landed on. Except now they have a version 2 that I do definitely prefer. Then there's still other pads, too.

I can definitely see how it would be harder for someone to learn that didn't grow up skateboarding, snowboarding or surfing. Even with boardsport experience, pads should be worn because accidents can happen to even advanced riders.

[@XV250]

Pg 23 of the Pint manual: "Anyone can learn the basics in just five minutes." I dunno. I've put about three hours into my new Pint and I can barely wobble along 30 feet before losing my balance. It's definitely harder for some folks to learn than others.

[@agunther08]

It was 7 miles before I stopped killing myself. I have 185 miles on it now. I really love the thing but it took a while.

[@Nikkattsu]

Not to toot my own horn but It wasn't hard at all for me to learn. From the very first moment I leaned forward I was doing circles around my block. I'm only leaving this comment for people who might be interested in buying one but fear they might not be able to pick it up. I have had it for a year now and I haven't fallen off of it but I also don't try to do tricks. I did skateboard a bit when I was really little, so maybe that had something to do with how fast I picked it up but I have had friends try it and they learned pretty quickly as well. If you have the money and are looking for an excuse to get outdoors but are struggling to find a reason to... this is 100% for you. If you are already pretty outdoorsy, this will just be something new to spice it up. Difficulty level 3 out of 10...

The quality, and effort into this video is amazing! When I first got a onewheel I had no idea about push back and completely went straight into the road shoulder first

[@surferchappi3]

Love the vid, helping me hit the buy button haha. Which Foot Forward Q: close your eyes, imagine running and jumping onto an icy surface, control yourself - which stance were you in? You're welcome.

I love how honest this review is! 10/10 video

dude could a person have a deeper v neck shirt, I doubt it

You’re smart to pad up from the beginning. You will fall. After 3600 miles and several falls I’m starting to get smart and pad up. Everything hurts but I love the wheel. Stay back in your center. Also do some low flexing. You’ll get more stability and find your center easier.

[@claudtalkz2194]

Hey, what's "low flexing" - signed Noob.

[@aquatrax123]

I just got a GT and it was super easy to learn for me. Not sure if it's the GT or the all the years of snowboarding that made it so natural. It was also much easier once I changed the profile to the most aggressive mode. Is much easier to go faster than slower.

[@JRCurtner]

Dude when you were describing the fangs "does it look cool? no. Is it fun? Doesn't look like it" that was a lol and immediate subscribe.

[@jaminjim44]

Man I’m 56 years old and got a pint last summer held on to a chair for a few minutes and off i went through the kitchen i just recently bought the xr and love it! Just swapped my tire to the enduro and also put the Hoosier on my pint and XR stands for extended range lol not extra radical lol i like yours better tho! ✌️

[@Beaches_south_of_L.A.]

You did a good job man. I'm impressed. Good editing. You're likable. The humor was just the right amount. It felt honest and real.

[@azbidotch]

Hey. I ever and again come back to this film to explain how my first OW experience was - pretty similar. 🙂 Regarding the XR: I started with a Pint like you, and i found it rather hard. Probably mostly due to the rounded tyre. But my first 60 seconds were with an XR and i longed for that feeling. So i seized the opportunity to buy one second-hand (too) after some months. Now the Pint feels tiny and dangerous, a bit like a sports car. The XR is a cadillac. I also reached the battery limit of the Pint after a few months, 9km, just by going shopping in the industrial district. Screws and such. I had to walk the last 500m home. No drama, but i felt like still being in my early phase. Now my maximum so far is around 20km and something above an hour pure riding time. Max speed? 24km/h over short stretches, that's enough. I also learned to make "micro-gymnastics" to ride longer distances without foot and leg fatigue. Well, thanks for your video, it encouraged me to go onto this journey. It's an absolutely phantastic one. Are you still on it? I hope so. 🙂

[@marvelgx]

This was an amazing video. I enjoyed how you showcase how the product works right out of the box with out any cuts/editing display product works.

[@nolanmccoy]

Welcome to the float fam Richard!! You're gonna freaking love it, and I cant wait to see more vids! I just started uploading my own ride vids to youtube, lets ride sometime!

[@martinesquives6152]

I really enjoyed your video. I saw it even though I have been using my onewheel pint for over a month now. I completely agree on all your points. It isn't as easy as it looks in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it , it's sooooo much fun! Your video is top quality. Keep up the good work! I subscribed and look forward to seeing more from you. Take care :)

[@benjamincubitt2301]

The beginning of this gives me such Bill Nye energy and I'm here for it

[@azonicrider32]

I'm amazed at myself, ha. My friend showed up to my place with one and I got on and rode it no problem first try. I was as amazed as him as I expect to get on and immediately fall off. I got on, drove about 50ft and slowed down and did a 180 turn super slow and drove back to my buddy and jumped off.

[@omaracevedo4784]

Thank you, advertise wants to make it look as if this thing is super simple to operate but you can see that it is not. I'm sure that eventually he'll get the hang of it. But if you think that you're getting on this thing and surf the city streets at 20mphs on your first try and buy and not get into an accident, you've been warned.

[@smithwrx5910]

I started on a pint. 50 miles on my nephews. Brought an XR used and after 100+miles on it. I wouldn't dare by a pint. XR is much more stable and If you don't mind swinging hips... The XR is completely nimble.

[@paulfogarty7724]

Here in " rip - off " Ireland the basic model is € 1,400.

[@valeriehart4634]

Dude - proud of you. You really stuck with it ! We will keep watching 😊

[@necronorris]

Are you in NC? The trails 19:11 look like the greenway in High Point.

[@DagothUr.]

As a onewheel owner myself my advice to anyone who wants a onewheel is if you can't afford basic maintenence on your car then you can't afford a onewheel

[@David-ym2vk]

Tried a buddies pint the other day for the first time. Starting and stopping took a little while to get used to. Once I got it, I quickly realized that even though I'm right foot dominant, I was super wobbly in a "regular" stance. I tried a "goofy" stance with my right foot first and the wobbliness disappeared.

[@jasonmccarthy2929]

Thanks I just got a pint x it’s about a week away from showing up. I’m so stoked to get out a. Enjoy myself ✌️❤️ Thanks for the information

[@UFOSPACEMAN]

We appreciate these type of vids. It’s nice to see the first steps taken. Great Vid!

[@jprhea97]

I’ll be honest, I got used to the board really quick but I’ve been skating and snowboarding for years. That being said, turning around in that tight of an area takes weeks to get comfy doing lol. Cheers

[@psocket6333]

Dude, this video is exactly what I was looking for. Flawless video. Very well put together. Ordering a Pint for my son and I, just needed this confirmation. Thanks again. -Preston

[@brandonbond7954]

Bro great job on your first video! This is quality and I can really tell you put so much time in and it seems to come natural to you! Keep it up man, and I’m excited to see what you got coming for us next. 🤙🏼
