Thanks for pumping out these videos so quick. Makes me feel better about my purchase. Mine arrives tomorrow, can’t wait. Please keep us updated on when Pint X accessories will be available. Especially the bang bumpers and XtraRad tire!
How is it?
@TheFloatLife - you guys GOTTA make a new solo float plate for Pint X!! or even better some Pint X B.A.N.G.S!!!
There's no such thing as a bad onewheel no matter what model you own. End of story!
When you're right, you're right!
How about pint x vs pint + quart ?
This trail looked so fun! Awesome video 🤙
Thanks for getting out all these reviews!! I can’t wait for the GT videos.
🎯
As an OG Pint owner i agree, the footpads are really too small and I could definitely use a few extra km in range, but at the same time i don't think that's a good enough reason to justify (at least in my case) the expense for an XR, let alone a GT, until my Pint breaks down.
What i don't agree with is pushback. It doesn't disturb me that much to be honest, actually i find it very helpful to alert me when i'm going too hard. I'd rather have pushback than a nosedive. Haven't had the chance to try an XR (in Italy there are like 10 Onewheels in total, mine included, so not much of a chance to find one), but the milder pushback scares me a little.
Man you could totally recess a handle in the bottom I recessed one into one of your floatplates and it works awesome. With all that waffle on The bottom you’ve got tons of room.
Agreed
Should be one of the first aftermarket products.
Kinda silly of FM not to include but whatevz
Actually, I bet FM will sell Pro X front bumper soon for 100 smackaroos
That just occurred to me too watching them carry it around! It should have been the simplest thing to implement in the front bumper.
Good lord, so much content, you guys ever sleep!? Having the professor there, hell yeah! You guys are killing it, keep that stoke going, all social media is aflame with confusion and we’re just piling on the miles! FOMF!
Bless 👏
Is that...open air, wildlife, and a river without sewage?
The world outside of NYC looks so different. 👀
Sweet video. 👍
Hahahaha our e coli levels are only 6x safe levels!
My man.. if you ever find yourself in Canada west, we have some nice places without sewage all over the place, all I do in summer months is ride onewheel, I don't work 3-4 months of the year, I ride mountain trails. 98% of the time, come on down . :)
Pint X looking sweet as an entry point to the onewheel stoke. I’m so glad that pints are getting decent range for group rides. I’m going to keep my XR for a couple more years as I prefer the larger footpads. The Pint X is a great piece of kit!
@@theone2be33 Not true lol.
I enjoy mine… so I would say it’s good
Let’s be honest, the best rider in this video is the cameraman
I’m wondering if it’s the newness of the pack of just a better overall battery pack. Would be interested to see a side-by-side with a Quart kit and the X’s battery.
Anyone know what he is adding to the front foot sensor exactly? @1:40
Posi’d it. Basically makes the board activate with only one side of the footpad engaged. Karv Kraft makes a switch for the XR. I think he may have soldered the connection on the Pint though. That’s called a Perma Posi aka permanent posi.
Peter is correct
Please consider posting more videos with details comparing pint x to the XR 🤞
I wish they would let you choose how much you want to charge it in the app - 95% instead of 100%. This doesn't seem important, but I live on top of a hill. It's sketchy going down on a full charge. Most of the time I drive my car down and park at the bottom. It would be nice if they included this feature for the GT or other future models.
That would be cool
I hear ya, same boat, I discharge a bunch in the yard rolling grass and stuff, cbxr in my xr means I've spent 1/2hour trapped up a hill lol. :) chi battery also makes a charger do as you say.. charge to whatever % you like;)
The app at least let's you set a notification when the board reaches 90%, so you know when to go unplug it. But an actual setting to stop on its own would be nice.
@@MrDmadness We've done circles in the driveway to burn enough juice to go down the hill. Feels silly doing that lol.
@@dannycruse7089 I hear ya.. I got a small park nearby and I go there and burn charge in the grass
Shout out to your camera guy!!!!! Those speeds in that terrain with the gimbal setup!!! #professional
Shout out Julian!
Julian the GOAT 😈
YAY! more Pints on the group rides is a major stoke inducer. Cant wait to see more of these in people's possession. Great vid. Great footage and great editing. holla.
Maybe there's a market for bumpers with handles built in?
I'm so jelly. I went with the GT.
I have two Pints already (one with a battery upgrade), but love that tennis ball yellow.
Gt will be worth it I figure. I have cbxr xr right now but am also getting a gt
u have 2 pints? youre filthy rich
Sick trail riding! Cant wait til my GT arrives!
When will they start shipping the GT?
Mine says january 27th
@@CJ1KFPV Sounds sick bro enjoy
Leary seems leery of the pint...sorry had too.
Lol
Hi Jeff, so nice to see you tearing it up on the Pint X without range anxiety.
Anyone like me like the pushback? I prefer it this way so I won't go overboard and injure myself. But, if it is customisable, that would be god send.
For the overwhelming majority of us mere mortals, I believe pushback is an absolute flesh-saver. At 57, I don't need to ride through rock gardens or off retaining walls, and I'd much rather be surfing the neighborhood than sitting on the couch waiting to heal because I unknowingly pushed the board past it's limits :-)
FM: Introducing Nose Anxiety
My thoughts exactly
wow Perma-Posi is something I never knew I wanted till now! Float Life killin it 🤙🏾 thnkx for helpin to hold us over till our GTs & Pint X's roll in lol ➖⭕➖💨
Can someone explain this to me please? I think I have an idea what it means but I’d like specifics on how the process is done, how it benefits and possible down sides. Thanks for all the great content. Love this community.
WOW! The Pint X has now impressed me! Also I love that you inspired the young dudes into the future of Onewheeling!
Those kids were super cool
You guys sell more Onewheels a than anybody.
Yeah, possibly haha
What I got from this video is that the push back sucks ass lol. I ordered a Pint X this weekend because my GT is taking 4 months to get delivered... (March, 23rd. So looks like my Pint X will be for the streets and my GT will be for the trails.
I love how nimble it is, especially around the road apple slalom. with the clearance issues would you be considering building a set of WTF rails for the Pint X? Also, it's strange with the front bumper there not being a handle built into it, an easy marketing win and they whiffed. luckily, I'm laid up for a few weeks with this broken shoulder so everyone can figure out what they can build as after market items
Pretty impressed by the horse shit slalom with no fender.
Do you think the torque contributes to the crazy pushback people keep saying about the pint?
No, that’s programmed
You are right about that pb on the pint. That's why I upgraded to xr. Awesome review. Don't know the reason y fm didn't put a front handle with that extra half inch on the bumper. Maybe They plan on selling another front bumper as a accessory for more money I think. Don't make sense.
Tru
I almost pulled the trigger just for that neon yellow. Glad I didnt! Your speed/pushback impressions seem similar to when the og pint was first released. Range can be added to my og pint if need be ;)
Just got a pint, now I want the Xr :(
@@anthonylando8365 Defintely ride one first. I have a pint and ran into someone with an XR while on vacation. They let me hop on and I cannot tell you how much more of a tank it felt like. Zero wobbles, way less carvy. Doesn't seem like everyone's cup of tea and I was surprised it felt SO different.
May be too so to ask, but do you know if Burris, or Hoosier have any intention of making a tire to fit the GT?
They probably will, but it's going to be a LONG time
I love my pint and getting around with my sons.. Range is a killer though. (I recon it would be easy to cut in a handle in the waffle of the front bumper on pintX).
On the Pint Fm should allow an achievement after a certain number of miles to lessen the pushback.
This I can get behind!
Just the review I was looking for.
Sis; after 3 years of me trying to get them to ditch their esk8 and get a Onewheel has started warming up to the idea.
Loves my Pint, not fond of the XR so the PintX is looking to be the perfect fit.
Float on lads 🤙
Send it!
What was it that you did to modify the sensor for your shoes? I didn’t understand that. Thanks.
I don’t know if they want to explain what they did because I guess it would be encouraging peeps to void their warranty? I’m guessing it probably has something to do with making pressure on one side activate both sensors so you don’t have to have pressure on both sides. It wasn’t explained when I asked, either.
Super want one! My toddler feet are perfect for it. Dope vid boys!
I do know how you love to spend money!
why was the nose riding soooo low? it looked like you were all in lean but really you were just chillin. but that nose was dipping like -3-4
I like to accelerate fast so nose is almost always low
Hopefully some float plates are in the works for this thing! I have the solo plate on my OG pint and its held up SO WELL
Unfortunately Float Plates won't work on a X without sacrificing a ton of clearance. However, BANG...
facts. Love my Solo plate
What's the posi mod? 1:31
Great vid. Met some future customers! Those dogs at the end!
I was riding to my friends house and I went 5 miles and had 80% left, pint x
Crazy
That's a really cool video! Turns out I do have a bit of FOMO because I chose the GT over the Pint X - and I LOVE trail riding on my Pint. But we'll see what the GT content looks like in January!
Man you guys are pro, you make it look easy
It ain't easy, but it sure is fun!
I wish I had one, I’m only a quarter of the way there 😔
Keep stacking that cheddar 💸💸💸
That is surreal watching you guys ride the trails. I'm hoping to get into a one wheel but I made is bill but I may be too old. The only thing I'm good at with wheels is bicycles and motorcycles
The Pint is too small, The GT tire is too hard, rounded and wobbles on Smoot surfaces. The XR is still the board for my ride. That's just me.
pawsy sounds cerbral like when i get handsy. please do a pawsy video - bellingham wa, too far from shred and seek
RUclipsr Jeff wants to battle! Great video!
What is posing the front sensor? For me on my Pint X that is the most annoying thing and I constantly wonder how you guys just jump on the board. If I’m not just right the damn motor doesn’t turn on. Is there a way to make it always on or easier to engage?
I mean brand new battery will prob outlast a 3 year old battery, and also have to factor in how well the battery was taken care of over its lifespan.
This is true
Watched this over a nice glass of sparkling rosé..Really felt it.
Is there a pinky up emoji?
Pushback is a feature of SAFETY. It must be unmissable. Many riders complained of pushbach not being strong enough on the xr, leading to tons of nosedives. FM can't afford a lawsuit about safety. That's why they make it obvious to any rider, and I think it's better like this.
You guys GOTTA make a new solo float plate for Pint X!! or even better some Pint X B.A.N.G.S!!!
Come do a vid in tx
Buy me a plane ticket!
You want no pushback?.. really? 😬
Yes
You've built yourself such an amazing team, videographer/editor is killin it.
Shout out Julian!
XR
Due to physics, any onewheel can nosedive
@@TheFloatLife Actually it isn't due to physics. Rather it would be a design cutback for monetary savings. The motor could be manufactured in the same current size to have the rotational power and torque to keep you upright and stable at a much higher speed and body weight. I've reverse engineered an XR and the speed and torque increases are phenomenal. I will keep my build for the right tech company.
It is disappointing to know FM could have produced a much better product but because of the need to justify profit margin to overhead, didn't find it profitable therefore the community is left with mediocre results at best.
I still enjoy the original XR, it's potential was purposely limited, and the GT is proof as well and that's just a robbery.
Where do you guys find these trails!?
Google maps, baby!
Wait, so Jeff still hasn't figured out how to front concave for Kush's... I'll DM you how to make it happen on Discord. :D
Nah, I've made them before. Just the way I ride, they always fail eventually.
No fishbones?
@@Tangeffect Nope... Fishbones aren't even that concave compared to a Kush hi.
@@TheFloatLife Check the DM on discord and think about, as it'll probably last longer and have better sensor engagement, since it's under the footpad, instead of on top.
@@LeungKenP brilliant!!
Are the dimensions the same on top? I noticed Onewheel jacked the price up on the regular Pint to$1050. Not sure exactly when they did but it seems very recently since 2 months ago it was still listed at $950.. Do you think they could have done it to repurpose the regular Pint parts and only swap out the bottoms aka bumpers & batteries? It seems to me like the most logical reason since it sort of prices out the regular Pint when the Pint X is so close in price. Hope to hear back from you.
Yeah, it's the same on top.
My guess is they bumped up the price on the regular Pint, to make people think they may as well just get a Pint X, after all it would be silly of them to discount the old boards, as that is taking away more sales on the new ones.
I sure C&R or TFL will make front bumpers with a handle. So to my that isn’t an issue. But it is strange that FM didn’t just include it out of the box.
Wanna see this compared to a Pint w/ quart
Hi Jeff, so nice to see you tearing it up on the Pint X without range anxiety.
Higher board voltage for longer is safer and better too
Good vid mates. I'm a 1.80m and 100kgs dude, would you suggest buying a Pint X or XR?
What's that in freedom units?!
@@TheFloatLife 😅 sorry, writing from pizza country. 5.90ft X 220lbs
Ooyy Maverick
Ayo what’s Leary got against pints. Man is straight hating.
Haha he’s XR for life
You CAN not say it's "completely stock right now" after listing the modifications. That liberally makes no sense
Um yeah... this video was fire 🔥Thanks for sharing your awesomeness 🙌
Glad you liked it!!
What did you mean by pozzied up the sensors? I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about the sensors not triggering.
Turned the 2 small sensors into one big one.
big props to the camera man for keeping up and keeping them in frame!
Much love from the camera guy!
XR winner, more space for foot makes it so much difference for a stable trail rides, its still a tank
Pausied the front sensor? Is this like disabling it or something?
They ought to just put this battery into a removable battery plus.
Call it
The Plus X. 🤣
The sensor on the Pint has always been bad. It's an issue and they've just ignored it.
@9:12 Exactly how I just pulled my hamstring lol
Hey guys, any tips on the posi mod for the pint? Is it dont entirely on the sensor pad or does the controller require modification? Thanks for all the content as we await the GT!
Does this mean you are working on a NugHi that we can mod for the front?
What did he do to the front sensor?
Got a like and no reply lol, I was seriously inquiring.
@@infra_r3d133 its been answered.
Yeah I had to scroll way down, no worries.
XR for the win
What does "possy" mean in terms to the sensor? My wife rides a pint and seems like she loses contact alot. Would this be something to look into?
👀
We turn the 2 small sensors into one big sensor.
In your... well professional riding opinion, because you guys ARE pros... Do you think it would be weird if there was a Pint version with just wider footpads? So the rails would be of a different shape to accommodate. Would that ride weirdly?
I could get down with that!
Will you guys Posi sensor a normal pint at your shop? That shit drives me nuts and I look like a complete idiot when I have to stop at lights and can’t get it going again. I swear that’s like 90% why I ride my XR and never touch my pint. Great video by the way!
Sorry, we don't do it for other folks, just on our personals.
That bonk at 4:11. How y’all make it look so easy effortlessly? Float on my dudes 🤘🤘🤘
Magic mostly
@@TheFloatLife tutorial on magic? Lol
Nice! Definitely making a case that it might be worth the investment. What y’all think 🤔 Pint X or upgrade your Pint w/ a Quart Battery to get basically the same range. The delayed pushback on the PX would be nice though.
The slight increase before pushback is pretty nice
@@TheFloatLife seems like all FM did was tweak the software for the Pint X to delay the pushback. I bet they could do that for the OG Pint as well with a software/firmware update, but won’t 😔.
Having a Quart battery already in has me not wanting an X.
Same boat. I like to ride ~15mph and Quart doesn't fix that. The reduced clearance of the X has me looking at XRs though!
I've tried both. I own one with a quart and my friend has an X. He gets a few more miles than mine and the the delayed push back is very nice. He use to ride my pint with the quart, but we always had to chill on our XR so he could keep up.
Great! Thanks for review!
Glad it was helpful!
My PintX dies with like 20% battery left showing on the app. What am i doing wrong i wonder?
Unbalanced cell.
Can you guys do trick tutorials for beginners
We do a ton! Check out our series Learning with Leary: ruclips.net/video/ZMYJFk73K7k/видео.html
Why kids its always easy to learn something new.
finally! we need more videos from you guys, quality content!
Our goal is 3/week. Les go!
Was just riding at Riverbend a cpl weeks ago.
Looks sick. I still want to see you guys try and put an OG pint bumper on the front of a Pint X to see how that clearance works out.
It works but leaves the rails a bit exposed to potential damage
It works, but then you'll have exposed rails and underbelly
You guys should sell that half and half drop kit!
Keep your eyes peeled, we just might!
@thefloatlife Yes please!!!
Agreed! It's rad.
@@erikagrey1384 I’m aware of that but I think that has too much elevation change which causes clearance problems if you drop the board
Yeah and TFL, $150 is pretty steep for me, I’d pay $99 or less if it made a significant difference in the ride. But still have clearance for off-road. Just sayin.
Solid! Now we just need pint bangs and a different front pad 😁
Unfair as the leds are turned off all the time !
What are your thoughts on if the X will be a good freestyle board? Will you be making X bang bumpers with a handle?
It’s a touch small so it’s ok for freestyle, but not as good as the XR. Heck, it’s the same weight as an XR so it doesn’t have an advantage there unfortunately.
pleading ignorance... posi the front sensors? is there another video I missed where that was discussed or demonstrated?
They solder a jumper wire between the two sensors to make it one. Since the stock Pint is so touchy and doesn't like to go. I only have 2 specific pairs of shoes that go every time, the rest I'm rocking back and forth like an idiot trying to get the sensors to read. A mod like they did would be great, I need to look into that.
