Onewheel vs Electric Skateboard | Which one should you get?

[@RidingWithMau]

Great breakdown, man!! 👍 I got my Evolve first, and then the OW a few months later, and I feel like I had a very similar experience. In fact, I kinda disliked the OW on my first ~5 rides. I told my gf that it may have been a mistake to get it... Then I started to get a hang of it, and I started to find my preferences (favorite riding mode, later accessories, favorite things to do on it vs an e-skate), and I actually became much more obsessed with the OW than the esk8! Once I got FlightFins I reeeeally got obsessed with it. I just love that feeling of being locked in, and it helps a lot with turning FrontSide especially. It was only until I started veeery early experimenting on the esk8 with dancing and little tricks like body varials that I started to get passionate about it again. And I ended up realizing that each board made me a better rider on the other one, and that I had to approach each one from a different angle to find what I loved about them. For me, the e-skate is like a racecar or like a longboard surfboard (depending on how I ride it). And the Onewheel is like a snowboard or a jeep wrangler (again, depending on how I ride it). So once I started riding them as such, they both truly clicked for me. And yeah, foot fatigue is inteeeense at first, but it 100% goes away. Although accessories like a Kush footpad will immediately improve it. As for repairs... yeah I've had to repair both, and they're completely opposite experiences. Evolve wins by orders of magnitude, they've got that dialed in so you can easily and cheaply repair the board. Anyway, great to hear your thoughts on them and I can't wait to see how you grow on the OW and what skills you'll later bring over from one board to the other! 😃 Keep up the great work on the vids!! 🙌

[@grizzlykiwi]

Thanks mate 👍🏻 Some really good points, and great to hear you experience with both boards. Yeah I think those fins would be the price of admission and a worthwhile accessory, I find it pretty hard to keep my feet locked in over rough terrain! Cheers for watching and catch ya soon 🙂

[@RidingWithMau]

@@grizzlykiwi I can relate! 😆 I'm only riding without fins now because I wanna develop my trick skills, but to me, FlightFins 100% offer the best riding experience. And when I'm riding without them, I feel like I'll fall off 😅

Awesome review man! Just bought an Evolve Hadean as an upgrade from my GTR; Feels more like having a rocket booster under your feet, which is absolutely terrifying in comparison if you're in it for the thrill. Has 4x harder acceleration than the GTRs, which is probably my favourite pro for eskate vs other modes. For spec nerds the Onewheel has a 750w motor vs 6000w on the evolve, which is totally nuts.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Yeah those are some crazy stats right there. I was sold on Hadean until I saw the price, I didn't own a board at that stage so I couldn't justify it haha. I've been really impressed with the GTR so far, especially given its age now. I'd love to jump on a Hadean one day soon and see how it compares!

[@inactive67]

Simple both, they are the same but different. The one wheel is more flexible and more fun for me.

[@chibuikembah9937]

Its best to have both. OW pint will have advantage when it comes to flying with airline at 147WH is below 160WH limited by CAA.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Yeah, I agree - best of both worlds 🤙🏻

[@eBoard3R]

*Good choice of footy shirt* 👀 Nice comparison dude 👏🏼👏🏼 ⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡ I do think that eventually foot fatigue from shorter stance or a stiffer deck tends to fade a bit and you adjust to it. As your legs and feet relax more too.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Massive Gunners fan! Yeah fair points there, my feet were killing after the last ride haha

[@eBoard3R]

@@grizzlykiwi I find mostly my back leg/foot gettin sore on minis until I adjust and get used to it again, music and remindin myself to relax my back leg helps 😂

[@RainBRiding]

Happy Birthday! Onewheel fam for life!!! Pintx is amazing I recommend it to everyone!

[@grizzlykiwi]

Thanks for the birthday wishes and cheers for checking out the video. The pintx is a nice little machine 👍🏻

[@Dad-bodgaming]

Great review. I'm looking for an all terrain board, or will be soon. So I'll be looking forward to any videos/reviews you may do in the future on AT electric skateboards.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Not sure what board I'll do next, I'm heading to Canada in June so I'm looking to order something for when I arrive. Still thinking on that one...

[@dman1848]

I really wish Evolve would be more competitive with their pricing. Especially with the Hadean. Id love one but not enough to spend 3k on one.

[@grizzlykiwi]

I'm with you on that one mate, really hard to support their new models at that sort of pricing 👎🏻

[@SinCityEsk8]

Daaamn totally beat me to the punch 😝 im getting a pint x and was going to do a pint x vs carbon gtr video. So you made a couple great points about changes modes on the go and the learning curve. Ive got 40 miles on a buddys xr and just now feel comfortable enough for the pint x. Try lowering your tire pressure, itll take out the squirlyness (if thats a word). Dude nice GTR btw 🤙🤙

[@grizzlykiwi]

Haha all good mate, never too many comparison videos out there for people choosing. If you make one let me know so I can check it out. Thanks for the tip, and I hope you have a good time with the pint X, cheers!

[@3tch3r]

As far as mobility the onewheel for sure!

[@grizzlykiwi]

Yeah, agreed. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@cayde19]

Does the one wheel cause that curvature of the legs? I’m worried about it. Thanks.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Haha years of football and malnutrition mate, you'll be right 😎

[@stefanobenland5304]

Good video for someone like me just looking to get into this.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Great, hopefully it helped you in making your decision. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Cheers

[@danielquesnel130]

The Onewheel has only 1 repair shop in the world.You cannot buy parts or FIX it yourself.You have to send it to Future Motion and If your outside the US it would be cheaper to Buy another Onewheel than Pay for round trip Shipping cost,lol So I got a Miles Phantom e-skateboard.Will go up to 30 miles on 1 charge,20 miles if going fast and up to 30 MPH.You can BUY the parts,Also it will not Ghost or shut off on you.

[@grizzlykiwi]

How are you liking The Phantom mate? It's a nice looking board.

[@danielquesnel130]

@@grizzlykiwi Also got the 105 mm cloud wheels for off road and a spare remote.

[@djwardlowentertainment9098]

AT tires are over rated and range killers. I love riding Urethane Wheels through the city but I have wanted to try a One Wheel. They seem way more one purpose like offroad applications. Everything else the ESK8 has it beat.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Cheers for watching. I think AT wheels serve their purpose well but they aren't my preference over say a 115mm rubber or some clouds!

[@BL-hg8bo]

I almost flew off going from a Onewheel to skateboard by leaning too much just like Grizzly said it. Be careful out there :).

[@robbieschweigert2700]

Bro I have an Evolve GTR Bamboo and a Tynee mini as well! My Tynee is the 10.5 ah version though

[@grizzlykiwi]

Nice one 👍🏻 How are you liking them both?

[@sabbottart]

I’ll take the skateboard, thank you.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Great choice 👍🏻

[@kenjieiglesia6712]

You get both!!!

[@grizzlykiwi]

Best of both worlds 🤙🏻

[@soraisfinallyhere1305]

So which do you prefer?

[@grizzlykiwi]

Electric skateboard all day long 👍🏻

[@soraisfinallyhere1305]

@@grizzlykiwi nice I ordered an eskate finally should come this week

[@grizzlykiwi]

@@soraisfinallyhere1305 Nice one! What did you end up ordering?

[@MrJellybeen]

Lighting is really dark.

[@grizzlykiwi]

Yeah, Onewheel clips were filmed later in the day - GoPro doesn't do the best in poor lighting unfortunately

[@revolutionaries007]

Jump on a GT and then talk to me. I take it you do not ride on the best thing .. Trails.. ride on a trails on a XR or Gt -- Pint is too small for me and then come chat. The Gt is amazing for the way it keeps its nose up and I am the exact opposite of you as i prefer the onewheel on all surfaces and i think a good rider will love trial riding on onewheels as i cannot go back to 4 wheels now that I mastered one and I am 50yrs old. PS I hate Future Motion as hope no one buys anything from them because of their RIGHT TO REPAIR ans GREED-- as far a pure fun factor I dont think its close ~~~ as the more I ride onewheels I never want to hope on a reg board again. Cheers

[@grizzlykiwi]

I'd love to jump on a GT one day to compare the difference, I think I'd enjoy the bigger one wheel more. Might do something like that one day but they're super expensive in Australia, I really couldn't justify the purchase price. This is really a comparison to help guide someone's first purchase from my own experiences so it's good to hear other people's journeys with each one too. Cheers mate.

[@KaizenOz]

Mtb trails on a modified GT or Vesc OW are where they really shine.

[@n2daair23]

The Onewheels are AWESOME, but the company making them are anal retentive as fuk! And a fender?, hell they won’t even include a damn charging port cover!!! Future Motions customer service is horrid!

[@CollinsDillingham-pu6ll]

I almost didn’t like this video cause I didn’t want too ruin your perfect 69 likes 🤣

[@AlphaCrypto81]

Onewheel all day
