Yeah, this feels more like reviewing Jimmy's lack of time management than anything else -- has nothing to do with your pint, sir lololololol 11.4 miles!?!? That's incredible!

[@freshlycharged]

Agreed and agreed!

[@real_ez8412]

@Action Jackson ? in what way the riding experience is much different then a typical eboard not to mention its a big tire that can ride on most terrain and you float instead of hitting 1 rock and going flying. not to mention the technology with the balancing. its not cheap but you get quality for your money.

[@losycresent007]

@Action Jackson If you're going for pure range, then I can see your point. However, OneWheels offer a unique experience that a lot of eskates don't. They are super expensive but the feeling of riding one of these boards is unmatched by any other eskate in my opinion. I used to have the original meepo classic btw.

[@victorzurdo6516]

@Action Jackson How great is that!! ...enjoy your 200 $ board then.

[@youngy7449]

11.4 miles and you are complaining?? WTF??

[@tajipaka]

Sounds like you were going through the 5 stages of grief lol

[@freshlycharged]

Hah! I was!

[@Sscott1985]

You really can’t ask for much more from the pint, let’s be real. For it to be rated 6-8 miles and actually get more like 8-12 consistently it seems, that’s pretty damn good. Almost all electric board companies have been over-rating their mileage, it’s great to have a company be realistic and under-rate their product. I feel like this was why the Pint was delayed so much tho in the first place, I bet the range wasn’t as good as they planned and did some tweaking and that’s why it’s getting a little more than the 6-8. Can’t wait to get mine, Sept 21 expected ship date

[@Sscott1985]

wizzolf schaferhund You must have ordered mid to late August. A lot of people had to wait months lol. I’m fine with a month delivery from order date, as long as it has no issues upon delivery. My XR had to be sent back to FM after the first ride...

[@cjadventures8840]

I’m getting mine September 18

[@Sscott1985]

I’m closing on my first house Sept 23rd (hopefully) so I’ve got that to keep me busy and stressed out. This OneWheel pint will be coming at the perfect time to go ride and clear my head.

[@Remedy718]

S Scott I've ordered mine on the 3rd of August but no shipping date. It says "being prepared for shipment" I emailed them to get a status update but no response yet

AP Gamez Yours should ship around Sept 13th maybe a little sooner.

[@markstevenson4030]

This is AWESOME!! Skyline mode, real world conditions at fast speed, 11-12 miles. Oh yea, cant wait to get mine

[@camjenkins]

I'm a larger, heavier dude (abt. 250) and my onewheel only gives me about 6.5 - 7 miles on a full charge. It's helped inspire me to start hitting the gym again lol

[@ryanfabiaschi4898]

If my XR is for big, adventure missions then I'm thinking my pint will be for mini, side missions. I remember you mentioning, in a previous video, that your kids said you're too boring on youtube but they just don't get it. You're my Onewheel Bob Ross!!! No anxiety here, just happy little trees floating by... Cheers! Great Vid!

[@freshlycharged]

I need to do a video with some Bob Ross quotes! Love this.

[@TheRykerInitiative]

That was extremely entertaining to watch and perhaps even equally as educational! I really appreciate Future Motion's decision to reserve the presumably large amount of power there at its end of life to really try and let the rider know that robot NEEDS to pull over NOW. It's comforting knowing that I'm not going to be in the zone and just miss its low battery notification and have it just suddenly die under me. Sorry you missed gymnastics but I appreciate you sharing the experience!

[@nLTpC]

Good range for the price overall good board but ppl need to stop comparing it to the XR

[@koenstoffer734]

NeLo thats true. The xr is the best onewheel out there and the pint is just soo different

[@reidjordan4545]

It’s like comparing a Camaro to a Lamborghini, they’re both great but not in the same league

[@sapi3512]

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for another review~! waiting for mine anxiously... lol You gave us (me and hubby - mid-40s asian couple) to work up the courage to get on the Onewheel~ We got our first onewheel xr couple of weeks ago and we are enjoying every minute of it. :) We both never rode a board before... and I'm not athletic at all... it took me forever to learn how to ride a bike (-and this happened only 10 years ago). We started with segway minis first with gokart and my hubby really wanted to try the onewheel but I was too worried. It was your video who convinced me to get out of my comfort zone and now we are looking forward to ride the pint and xr together~! :)

[@BrickThunder]

I go on rides everyday with my pint, I keep a speed around 10.5 MPH through the ride. Never once have a had my pint fully die, it’s battery life is amazing!

[@badmotorfinger9195]

Nice vid. This vid has given me more confidence in the pints power and range. I'm only around 135lbs and end up walking 8+ miles a day at my second job. This video pretty much sold it for me. Thank you Jimmy. Nice socks

[@researchDarren]

That is awesome!! Video stoked on that range too, I thought it was only suppose to get 8 miles and you were on gravel. I have never done 11 even on my plus...super stoked to get one of these!!!🤙🏿🙌🏿🤘🏿 sweet video I love seeing batteries get crushed

[@Batman-ws9lb]

Great vid, definitely convincing me to go with the pint now

[@YBeastt]

Nice video. Thanks for clearing this theory once and for all

[@noahsmith6300]

I'm 6'5", 240 and I do well to get 4.2 miles on a full charged pint. My girlfriend that's over 100 lbs lighter always has half a battery or more left when mines is dead.

[@KonnorGann]

About the same range for me. 11-12 miles most of the time

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks for the verification!

[@quangyung6751]

Are you riding in Pacific or skyline?

[@KonnorGann]

Quang Yung almost always pacific

[@JS3music]

Do you ride in serious hill areas?

[@fdiaz05]

@@JS3musichey guys...how much does the persons weight factor in do you think? I'm about 215 and I know my ebike takes that into account a lot for total distance vs someone sub 200lbs

[@lcprod]

great video! I really appreciate the emotional psychological factor of this test.

[@tigerjuju]

First time I watched this video, all I got out of it was how the battery is not enough to get Jimmy where he needed to go. Just watched 2nd time after having now rode my own Pint for a while. This time I am finally appreciate much more how much longer than spec distance Pint gave Jimmy here.

[@patch1103]

Thanks for sacrificing in the name of science. I don’t know that I would’ve been so bold... being late for my daughter’s gymnastics carpool would mean no more OW for me! Also, my rule of thumb for life is to always add a 10% fudge factor to everything, so I probably would’ve turned back at 60%. Love your channel... keep floating!

[@freshlycharged]

I took a gamble on this one. Made too many incorrect assumptions going into it with speed, range, and conditions...

[@tomservo3401]

Just ordered one of these and i g2 say cannot wait. I was torn between this and the xr. one thing that sold me besides the price difference is how agile/maneuverable everyone says the pint is and now seeing this video showing how far you can actually ride it. 8 miles would be perfect, 10+ Miles would be outstanding.

[@justanotherdrunk]

*Always enjoy your content!*

[@skriptz9311]

Naaawice! Pint is good but XR is great! Excellent video bro! Pretty cool to see the in ride stats going

[@guitar198225]

I have a pint scheduled to arrive in a few days. I've never been on a onewheel before. I settled for the pint as I would have preferred and longer range and a faster top speed. But the XR is just way too expensive. This video just made me much happier. Wow you just went 11 miles on product that states it can only do 8 (max). Thanks for this, I feel when mine arrives I might just be able to go that little bit further than I had expected. Subscribed and rang the bell 👍

[@BaQu82]

I have had the pint for almost a month now and floating on the snow in freezing temperatures of -5C I get around 9-10 km of range (5 - 6.5 miles) but that is on hard bumpy snow and cold weather. I find the range in those conditions acceptable. Especially with the ultra charger I can take a quick break and be back on it 50min later.

[@matthewpaquet1163]

Sorry I’m new here and am purchasing a pint soon, I also live in Canada with snow, do you find you get much use out of it in winter months? Also is it completely waterproof?

[@OneNOnlyJesus]

@@matthewpaquet1163 no. It's not waterproof. But it is slightly water resistant. If you go into a puddle and it gets splashed a bit it'll be fine. But I wouldn't reccomend riding through puddles

[@bitterroots7317]

Tucking your body into a more compact form will significantly reduce the wind resistance. Even just turning completely sideways will help, both are a technique I use when snowboarding.

[@DRR0418ify]

Haven’t done a full range test yet but so far really loving the range I’m getting

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Great video and cool what they have been able to do with the Pint. One thing to note is it's never good to fully run down li-ion batteries (even with cut off to prevent damage to batteries), over time it may shorten their life, then again who cares if you are having fun. Can't wait to get mine, it's on its way.

[@Elquesobabas]

Watching it was amazing to see the range you got in n that pint... just ordered mine and is supposed to ship next Tuesday, im a 212 pound guy and my gym is about 4.5 miles away from home with some downhills, with this test I’ll assume that if i ride to the gym, charge it there while i workout ill be safe going back home... ill try it

[@noahsmith6300]

You better charge it!

[@RomeLJ]

another great video, thanks Jimmy!

[@IroncladIndustrial]

Man Jimmy, I felt all kinds of anxiety and suspense especially towards the last couple of miles.......Glad you were only five minutes late😎!

[@freshlycharged]

Drove fast and got lucky with the traffic lights! thanks for watching.

[@ivankopp5650]

I mean you got nearly 12 miles. Id say that's better than expected.

[@cubiq1]

Dude your videos are just the best 🙌⚡

[@westcoastsingletrack7854]

I got pulled behind a four wheel on the onewheel to charge it it takes a lot of regen to charge it

[@gmuk101]

So Futuremotion decided to put the minimal range on the performance page. Very interesting.

[@EK-ej3ll]

I’m surprised that you got the app to work for that long, haha

[@freshlycharged]

Much of the video where I don't have the app on screen... that's when the app was trying to reconnect. 🤭

[@Mitch3D]

I hope this is something they can fix with firmware updates.

[@petriandy]

I’m actually wondering how much battery the Bluetooth connecting and disconnecting is using Jimmy! Maybe a test without a phone around, or some way to disable the BT radio built into the onewheel..?!

[@paulschaeffer2879]

I like the 360 view of the unicorn socks.

[@RRW]

6 to 7 miles but it is cold at the moment and it’s not that flat where I live. Great test🤙🏼

[@theJustScience]

I live across the street from that park too. We should ride some time 🛹😎🎥

[@ashimoda9732]

I'm trying to make the decision on either XR or Pint. I like to go fast and XR does that, but I need the agility that the Pint brings. I'll be mostly using this on campus and I need to be both fast and nimble going around other students to get to class. The Pint does have a better price to it. Decisions, decisions.

[@charlierabin1170]

get pint... only reason to get xr is range, and trust you wont be going 20 around any campus haha

[@perrysasson7135]

U can try both at our location!! @onewheelbroward

[@justinspirational]

XR all the way.. Just get a Hoosier 6 tire with high psi (around 23) and it will be just as carvey with far more range and faster

[@ashimoda9732]

@@justinspirational Hey thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll probably do that. The only thing is changing the tire to the Hoosier 6 looks and sounds hard. We will see.

[@justinspirational]

@@ashimoda9732 true.. I'm in LA and there's a guy here who changes it for only $50.. But either way the XR is the most versatile board and will be used longer.. Though even the XR range is feeling a little too short for me right now but there are mods available for doubling, trippling or more the range with the xr

[@DieselD145]

My pint will be arriving in a week, super excited to ride around my town, thankfully it's pretty small about 9 1/2 miles from one end of town to the other with some hills so this will be perfect for going to and from work/ exploring.

[@neilbaldomero7651]

So hows your pint as after 10 months? Planning to buy this month .

[@chaschuky999]

Woah holy crap I just realized how many subs you have. Based on the quality of the vid I assumed it was somewhere in the 100k range. Keep up the good work man really good video.

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks dude. I wish I had 100k. I'll be happy when I hit 5k. 😆

[@19hundoc47]

Careful riding out that last pushback when the battery is dead, that nosedive has thrown me off pretty hard before!

Unfortunately I just injured my knee badly and lost my day streak. Now I can ride for at least two months. I also do parkour so I am heavily active

[@Lurch685]

How do you go on these long rides? I have to stop every 15 minutes or so to give my calves and quads a rest. I am carving to ease the burden on my muscles, maybe just not deep enough of carves? Hmm.

[@harrisonyee]

Hey Jimmy! Love your content. Quick question. Are you aware of any company that makes “Fangs” for the pint?

[@freshlycharged]

Land Surf

[@harrisonyee]

Jimmy Chang sorry if this is a dumb question but I was looking on their site and it states they only work on the plus and XR. Do you know if they are compatible with the pint?

[@tnygp]

when i first started riding i was getting 13-14mi range it was crazy. now im getting probably a solid 11-12. happy with taht! as long as it can get to and from my gym im happy. about 6.5mi round trip

[@eucbros9235]

really at 13 mph push back... riding my buddies i got push back at 15.3 every time :) nice video as always man! :)

[@glennpatchett1530]

Hey Jimmy I love your videos keep them coming! You and others have really inspired me and I’m saving for an xr right now I want one very bad! I was wondering if you know of any good knee braces to where to prevent ligament and meniscus damage I tore my meniscus a while back doing his jitsu my leg feels strong now but I’d like to wear a brace that doesn’t hinder me to protect me from that in the future, any suggestions?

[@robosexsupream]

Is there an “ideal speed” ya think? Depend on the rider? Maybe throw 50lbs in a bag one time! Can’t wait for mine to show up.

[@jkwon-007]

Awesome, we just ordered ours and hoping it comes quick!. Any one have nice trails/routes in the So Cal Area? Particularly around LA or the OC?

[@CodyCoonrod]

I mean that’s still more than advertised on the range for the a Pint. You also were riding over some fairly bumpy and non-smooth surfaces. Real world I know, but a true range test would be as flat and as smooth as long as you can to truly see the distance. This is definitely a positive for the pint. Under sell, over deliver! Mines due in the mail any time now :D

[@freshlycharged]

Hope you love it!
