Is the Pint S a Game Changer? // First Impression

@TenMillionYearProgram42 speed is similar to what they experienced. The pushback is cleaned up a bit though.

[@zalla135]

@@thewheelneil1379 sweet thank you. But it does have more torque then when the pint x first launched?

[@JoshuaOlujide]

As a Pint X owner, super excited for the update! I feel like the most cost effective move would be to buy a Pint X secondhand (I got mine off of Facebook Marketplace for about $750), then just buy the new treaded tire and flared footpads separately (and maghandle pro if you care about that) then wait for the update. That's exactly what I plan on doing anyways. Great video guys!

[@TheFloatLife]

Good point!

[@chromery]

Dude, I broke two standard handles before buying a maghangle pro for my og pint. This is the best possible upgrade, it's so much more comfortable to hold, and the whole board feels way lighter. I can't recommend it enough, the regular handle is just sooo bad...

[@dwinossss]

​@@chromerySounds random, I've had my Pint X for over two years, and I have the original plastic handle! However, I've added foam to it to prevent pain 😅

I’m looking at a pint X used for my daughter for Xmas. Think that’s a much better buy then the pint and what should I look for as far as used signs to watch out for? TIA!

[@andrewwilson983]

So they added some field weakening? I might have been stoked if they had bumped the voltage up to 75v, but as it sits my rewheeled pint does all of this all while not having haptic buzz.

[@superfunsurf]

maybe do another video when you fix your app

[@AlexLMedia]

Sweet! Please do an update video once the app update rolls out in a couple weeks! It would be great to see a group ride comparing the pint s, updated pint x, and an un-updated pint x (and maybe even a pint v). I’ve been dodging my pint x update ever since haptic buzz released, but I would totally update if I got an extra 2 mph of headroom before buzz and pushback kick in at 18 mph instead of around 16 mph. I don’t need to go 20 mph (or even 18), I just don’t want hit buzz/pushback when I’m cruising at 15/16

[@OctoFloatRepair]

Pint X normally freespins at 30-32 mph... Crazy it was hitting 38!?

[@OctoFloatRepair]

Unless they just jacked up the field weakening, then I'm not too impressed

[@benlay750]

@@OctoFloatRepair It has to be field weakening because they checked the charger and its the same V as the pintx. The only other way to increase the speed would be a different motor Kv. It makes sense that they would increase FW as they are supporting higher top speeds.

Push back on the pint has always kicked in at 2 miles below the rated top speed so it’s no different than how the other pints. Push back on the pintX starts at 16 even though the top speed says 18.

[@TheFloatLife]

Well that explains the 18mph pushback on the S then.

[@JoshuaOlujide]

@@TheFloatLife yeah same here highest I've ever gotten on my pint x is about 17.5 mph. it NEVER lets me hit 18 without severe pushback/haptic buzz. personally, even if it never actually hits 20 mph, the extra headroom will be a welcome update.

[@junkfoo22]

Came here to say the same thing. My Pint X pushes back hard in the mid 16s. Not having pushback until 18 is actually a huge improvement

[@Colton_Acree]

My pint x pushes back at 16 as well. Since the haptic buzz, i've been a bit scared to push past, got it to 21 a few years ago and my brother hit 24 on his pint. Would be nice if they moved pushback to their boards rated speed. Also super excited for the update in a few weeks.

Correct, there won't be much to compare. Firmware will be identical, and you can replicate a Pint S by just modding a Pint X once the update comes out. Even in the app, where the board model is named, it says Pint X/S

It will be the same as the S; all the same features will be there. Pint X will get the new advertised max speed of 20 mph, with pushback starting at 18 mph. Before it was 18 and 16, respectively. I don't think they can safely go any higher with the current hardware.

[@Sigeo1vl]

We need an update on this board with the updated app installed. The updated top speed is the main reason I purchased this board and I already own a XR, Pint, GT, and GTS (with rally rails installed). If the top cruising speed is not 20 mph I'm sending it back.

[@nicoaleman]

The app update isn't gonna change the firmware on the board, just allow you to enable Custom Shaping, so how you see it here is how it is at least for now. Pint X pushback I believe kicked in at 16mph before (advertised top speed 18mph), so this is still a 2mph bump like they claim. But "comfortably cruising at 20mph" is probably a stretch with that pushback

[@Sigeo1vl]

@@nicoaleman Yea I understand and haven’t really ridden my Pint I bought it for my kids. I took my GTS out tonight and recorded the ride and just having a nice chill ride I did not get over 17.9 mph. I think if I ride the Pint S the same way it probably will not be an issue.

@Sigeo1vl For sure, and Pint is way more fun at those lower speeds than a GT anyways with the more nimble tire! I've got a VESC setup with a Pint tire that can go beyond 20mph with no pushback, but I still keep it below 20mph personally just because I feel no need to go faster on it.

They've replied to multiple comments giving varied responses. Some say 2 weeks, some say 3-4, some say by the end of the month. So pretty unclear haha. The hardware is identical, so I'm honestly not sure of any reason they couldn't release the firmware immediately outside of either wanting to give Pint S early exclusive access, or possibly using early Pint S owners as "beta testers" almost and seeing if theres any feedback to make some final adjustments before release. But hopefully the update releases sooner than later.

The board's firmware is up to date and how buyers should expect it to ride, the only difference with the new app update is having access to custom shaping.

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

I got this thing without the intention of riding super fast. I'm mostly just trying to cruise around off road. I think it should suit my needs

[@deanaoxo]

[@brianflad9627]

Kind of a goofy review without the right App Version\Settings guys.

[@ManifoldSky]

Why? Without changing firmware, the basic hardware characteristics will remain unchanged.

[@nicoaleman]

Board Firmware is actually up to date and what buyers should expect, it was just the app that wasn't updated, meaning the only thing missing was Custom Shaping.

[@brianflad9627]

@@nicoaleman Did pushback increase after fixing the app? If not 20 mph claim seems suspect.

[@nicoaleman]

@@brianflad9627 It's the board's firmware that determines that, not the app, so no. All their boards besides GT and GTS have pushback before the advertised top speed. Pint X was advertised 18mph with pushback at 16mph. Pint is advertised 16mph with pushback at 14mph.

It's like iting a brick wall. Bro it's literally hitting a brick wall or concrete whatever 😂😂😂

[@Killpocalips]

Never understood why people like these so much. It's literally brand new and is out sped by unicycles that are generations out of date. How is this starting at 2900?

[@nicoaleman]

This is the Pint S, it's $1400 but is really a kitted out Pint X, which starts at $1100. Still of course outperformed by EUC's in the same price category, but the ride experiences are apples to oranges. Anyone getting a Onewheel isn't getting it purely for the specs/performance.

[@Killpocalips]

@@nicoaleman oh I see it's the gt-s that's 2900. Honestly I was never good at skateboarding and EUC feels like skateboarding to me. I get why people like the form factor I just think it'd be cooler to see one of these doing like 40mph. Irks me because I recently bought an e20 to teach the kids to ride.. $400. Goes the same speed.

[@Killpocalips]

@@nicoaleman this quite literally the same logic that lets apple sell you a similar spec phone for exponential prices

[@nicoaleman]

@Killpocalips Yeah, would be awesome to see more competition in the space to bring more innovation and bring prices down, that's the main thing that sets the Onewheel market apart from the EUC market. Unfortunately not really possible with the patents they have.

[@nicoaleman]

@Killpocalips I'm not saying it's a great thing haha, just the fact is that Onewheel provides a ride experience that other PEV's just can't provide. Many of us have turned to making DIY boards as a result of the current state of the market

[@Tatad3]

This is the first time I see Jeff fail a curb nudge. Try the other way. The heavier side as the front side.

[@nicoaleman]

With how you have to deweight the board, having the sensor in the back would more often than not cause the board to disengage mid-nudge. The main issue is just the squared off shape of the Pint X Bumpers

[@hiya1234567899]

Let’s see if the battery box wires got insulated more… Pint X battery boxes are known for chafing wires.

[@nicoaleman]

They luckily resolved that issue a good while back, hasn't been an issue for Pint X for a while now AFAIK

[@esk8unity]

all that to “save 50 bucks” hahahahahah jesus… talk about penny pinching. jesus lol. just ordering those things alone is inconvenient. let alone installing the tire and waiting for the update . 😂 jesussssss

[@nicoaleman]

Main benefit there would be getting to pick out the specific accessories you want. For example, I'd personally rather go with a nice slick tire like the Street Pro 2, and a tail with a bit less kick like Kush Nug Lo or Hi. For existing Pint X owners, or those who want to save by starting with a used Pint X, manually upgrading makes more sense IMO. But for those who want a solid comfortable and kitted new board out of the box, Pint S is a solid choice for sure

What is up with that shirt 😬
