Why I Won't Be Upgrading To A Onewheel GT or Pint X (Yet)

[@Minipic]

I think they put the original pint up to over a grand to make it appear closer to the pint x monetary wise. Hoping when people see the price they go “oh for 400 more I get more.” Afraid of them seeing a number sub 1k and immediately buying the original pint. Market strategy but also they have to realize the used pint market is through the roof. Can get a pint with barely any miles now for like 700-800 bucks.

[@eheheh3263]

Yeah that’s what I noticed, it’s 100$ more… WHAT???! They’re crazy and now they supposedly have a sale for 750$ but they raised the price for 100$ who do they think they’re fooling??? 😂😂😂

[@ClashwithPotato]

if you haven’t bought one yet, i have just got one and i had a pint beforehand. it is such an incredible difference, mainly the 30 mile range is so nice. i did a 2 and a half hour 30 mile ride, and it was so fun, also the speed is nice, as i was used to the intense pushback of the pint, and just being able to cruise faster is so nice

[@bluefoxxcosplay4754]

Sweet channel my friend!! I ordered a One Wheel Pint and waiting on it to arrive. I’m stoked!! Hopefully I won’t eat pavement but we’ll see. I’ve been quad skating for three years from prior in-line skates so this will be a whole new world! Your videos help!!! Keep ‘em coming!

[@Desertpunk1986]

Your mockery of the EUC cats was a joy to watch. 😂

[@TheCobaltsaber]

My fully upgraded CBXR board is about 31lbs. The 35lbs on the GT is not an issue at all. With more power comes more weight. Everyone is saying their fully modded XRs is still better than the GT dont understand that the difference is the internals. An 18s2p battery configuration cannot be achieved on an XR. When GTs catch up in aftermarket accessories, the GT will have an edge over the XR on paper just from the higher voltage internals. I will be keeping my XR and getting a GT. Which will I ride more? We'll have to see

[@namelessvermillion8188]

The GT is a 18s? 😳

[@TheCobaltsaber]

@@namelessvermillion8188 yes, its an 18s2p battery providing approximately 75 volts. The XR is a 15s2p and CBXR is 15s3p providing 63 volts. No matter how you upgrade an XR, you cant increase the voltage because the controller isn't designed for it

Would have seriously considered the PintX if it was out there. Considering all things, I bought an XR a few months back and I am fully happy with that choice. I do have a concave rear pad and it’s like a D-PAD for my back foot!

[@switchedup5834]

I was debating on buying a one wheel a year ago then at the end of August I finally said screw it.. and got an XR the reason why I was debating so long was because I was waiting for a pint XR combination... Then a month after I got it they announced the GT 💔... Still love my Xr but wish they had a trade-in program

[@whiskyguzzler982]

@@switchedup5834 Is range the issue? XR is lighter, standard tire, many options, cheaper. If I was buying today, I would likely buy a GT just ‘cause. But not sure that would actually be a good choice.

[@switchedup5834]

@@whiskyguzzler982 I would probably want the GT for the treaded tire and extra range as I primary ride on trails. But I get what you mean honestly I don't know if it's worth the weight. Like 35lbs is alot. Even just doing something like walking up stairs or crossing the highway would be annoying

[@Fez8745]

got a GT as my first ever OneWheel. was very difficult to learn (not a skater or surfer) i used to use a Segway Mini which was self balancing and thaught yeah i can use this. 2 Weeks later im crusing around 26kmph+ enjoying life. Love it.

[@avalanchecannon7911]

I recently bought the GT and the Pint X. I love them both for what they offer.

[@jarehelt]

You are welcome to use my euc 😁 I can help you learn a bit too. It takes a good week to get comfortable. It's not as easy to learn as the onewheel, it's a whole process, but man once you get it you feel like superman. Warning they are super addictive, if you take the time to learn euc, you WILL wind up getting one. I love my pint, carving on a onewheel is super cathartic, but an euc is another level of fun. It feels like skiing with a jetpack on how nimble and quick those suckers are, watch kuji rolls vids if u haven't

[@RichardKohberger]

Thanks for the offer! Do you linve in the atlanta area? Would you mind emailing me at the email thats under the "about" tab on my channel so we can work out the details?

[@jarehelt]

@@RichardKohberger Georgia? No my bad.. Im in Colorado Springs. There are some wiked trails out here tho. It would make for great video. Your best bet is a fb group in the area, I run into people all the time that invite me to group rides and let me try out their onewheels and eucs. Im not sure how popular it is out east but im sure Atlanta is a big enough city to have a group of some kind. 🤔 Watching you learn the onewheel is my favorite vid btw I can't wait to see you on the euc Also I don't see any email on your about page, maybe I can find you on messenger or something.. 🤷‍♂️ Good luck!

[@adamcarver9057]

I ride a onewheel and even I can tell everyone that the EUC is superior in almost every way, I do like its stance but that's it.

[@againsthegrainx7556]

Surprised to hear this as I've also heard that for some onewheels are more fun (that's literally the only thing a onewheel could potentially have over a euc tho ). Just ordered a KSXL18 and cannot wait for it to arrive. Thanks for sharing your experience with the two compared

[@bepriceless]

Couldn't agree more. I still have my Pint for a dust collector.

[@watchncarry9593]

I agree with u on the ridiculousness of the price increases. That being said, 2mph does make a big difference in my opinion. I felt it going from a Pint to an XR, and that lack of 2mph really ruined the original Pint for me. Of course thats just my cents, and everyone should ride before judging when possible.

[@pawelkuzniar7535]

Agreed, the 2 mph increase in speed is super noticeable especially when you rarely feel push back at comfortable cruising speeds (15 mph)

[@watchncarry9593]

@hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724 good for you. Ill laugh at you as i blow by you in my Aztec. LOL. Youre comparing 2 different types of PEVs. A useless comaprison

[@davidday2965]

Super genius to list the old one for more cause. It'll actually entice more people to buy. The more expensive pint x which will net them more money in the long run.

[@RexLabalan]

If my memory is correct, the pint is allowed for traveling on airplanes , but the pint x considering how large the battery capacity is, it's not allowed. The pint is a little bit more lighter too. So I think if you travel by airplane a lot, in general, the pint might be a better fit.

[@aliruane]

[@lilcrackerr7707]

[@lukasjanssens9532]

Love your videos. Especially the little snippers in between of humour

[@clayk4753]

The reason they increased the price for the pint was to incentivize people to go with the pint x instead of the pint. Only spending $950 for a onewheel seems like a good sell to most. But if it’s $1,050 then the common thought process is to just spend a few hundred more for the better board.

Great content. Unfortunately in the uk with delivery and import taxes the chi battery is about 500-600 dollars. So I will sell my pint and upgrade as the range anxiety is real ! Just as I start having fun I get my 50% battery warning.

[@michaelmcneill4721]

I ride the GT and they are correct... cruising speed is good at 15-17... So I disagree with you. Riding my moms Pint is annoying having the buzz come up at my riding speed. So I upgraded it for her. For the milage and the speed.

[@ulisesmelchor155]

Great video! I remember watching your learning to ride video a few weeks before I got my pint. My original intention was kind of like yours, to use the pint for about a year and then upgrade to an xr, now GT, however, although, I absolutely love my pint I'm really thinking of upgrading to an euc In a year or two. I'll probably still keep my pint though.

[@kondaksgasmasksandgaming910]

Inflation is why pint is more expensive. My brother is in manufacturing and prices have to go up.

[@xvaldez3284]

4:40 lmao 🤣 not gonna lie I immediatley went into snob mode when he said the range was pretty good

[@chrisc790]

The problem is even with the quart battery you still aren't getting that extra torque/power or higher speed.

[@AdrianQuark]

The quart does anecdotally provide higher torque. The motors on all the Onewheels are the same, better batteries give a small boost but most of the difference in speed (e.g. between GT and Pint X) just comes from a larger tire.

[@loui828]

[@devinthornton9665]

Only if homie knew that the pint has the exact same motor as the gt😅the quart battery does give extra torque and power

[@ryanfarrell8370]

I have the chi quart battery for my pint and I personally hate it. I don't like hating on the product because it is quite possible I was sold a faulty one, however I get less mileage then before upgrading and I don't feel nearly as safe on the board. Just a slight warning for you. If you decide to go forward with getting one, definitely have their team install it for you, and do a thorough range test to prove you're getting the range promised.

[@matthewlucas3008]

AWESOME Video!

[@TheAnimeist]

Does the Chi battery effect the life expectancy of the Pint?

[@Cwyrm]

I honestly wish that they would bring something new into the XR segment. Larger size board, but at a lighter weight and lower price than the GT. I honestly don’t see myself buying either a GT (too heavy and expensive), or a pint x going forward, sooo, where does that leave me one my XR goes?

[@Andrewkc1969]

The 20 mph limit is for legal reasons. For example, you wont find an electric bike that will go over 20 mph, because if it did, it would have to be called a motorcycle and you would have to get a license. Not sure what they would call a OneWheel that went over 20mph, but you get the point.

[@Syuurp]

The e bike argument makes sense but what about e boards? The meepo hurricane has a top speed of 37mph and you don’t need a license to ride it. I think OneWheels can’t go above 20mph because of the size of the board itself. Can’t cram anymore batteries in there or else you risk having to make the board bigger, therefore making the OneWheel too heavy and uncomfortable to ride.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

@@Syuurp great point about e-boards. was thinkin the same thing. I think our OWs are also more dangerous when we fall due a lot to the stance & that FM is also trying to avoid more critical injuries, fatalities, liabilities

Bro you don’t know what you are talking about

[@contorta960]

All their models are too slow. 1500 watt motor is a bottleneck. Wish they'd go the way of esk8 and sky the limit it. It's got a massive battery, could power such a bigger motor and in turn get a 30mph+ speed and less nose-dives. Folks won't nose-dive all the time. 19mph is too slow, everyone will surpass that. The 30mph of my esk8 is good, don't get overtaken by every car, can commute safely. The ride of a OW is so sweet just a shame they're so slow.

[@DG-xj7pm]

Agreed

[@contorta960]

@@DG-xj7pm sorry I said 1500 watts, that would be better, it's 750 watts. Reason I guess it to try and make it legal like ebikes. They're capped at 3 horsepower, 750 watts and I think it's 15mph. The lasted GT video he says he's going 16mph+ so it doesn't look like the speed has changed at all, even the 1 or 2mph. I do believe you will be able to sustain going at 16mph for longer than the XR would before nose-diving just for giggles. It's a right pain. I'm not saying 30mph is fast just in cities it tends to be the speed limit, making going with the flow much safer. I do enjoy going a little over on hills on my esk8 but 30mph is all I ask. For the price, can't justify the broken bones I'd get by pushing the board beyond what it's capable of. Maybe in another 4 years FM will do an upgrade justice. Or maybe some Chinese companies will release a better one. It doesn't say what gradient the GT can do but I'm guessing 15 degrees, maybe 20. Esk8 is at 40 degrees. I'm in a hilly city. And Onewheels are illegal here just like esk8 but not policed. So hop to it already FM! Lol

[@CosmicGaijin]

I think there’s a reason on the capping. It has more to do with the fact that y’know… there’s regulations in states that strictly enforce that electric devices like bikes,scooters and etc cannot surpass 20 MPH. It can get close to 20 or just 20 but never over or it’d be classified as an automobile that’d require certification/licenses to operate.

[@contorta960]

@@CosmicGaijin yes I did cover the legality. I don't see what's different between onewheels and eskates, where the sky's the limit.. they don't feel the need to cap the speed. FM has got to be losing a lot of skater customers that don't make the jump for this 1 limitation.

[@questionmark2228]

i think if you are going to get a pint X you should get an XR because they are the same specs and same price. the reason i say that is because the XR is much more stable and overall feels better than the pint.
