I have only one memory. Some stranger was onewheeling past me as I was biking and I shouted, “cool onewheel!” He replied, “thanks! Wanna try it?” I don’t think I’ve ever spun around so quickly in my life. He let me ride it up and down the street for about 10 minutes. I’m now looking to get one but can’t decide between the pint x and the gt. What do you like so much about the xr over the pint x? And would you opt for a gt over a pint x for your first board? Is that board size more comfortable to ride?
They can avoid the liability of injury easily due to modding. What they might have trouble with, is curbing the negative image associated due to injury. What FM should do, is focus away from C&D on 3rd party, embrace them, and then go after litigation that’s slowly creeping in to ban these on trails. Focus on educating and promoting them positively for the trail riders.
The vast majority of litigation against FM (including the massive class action) is not at all related to 3rd party modified boards. It is brand new folks who get a Onewheel thinking it's a fun toy that anyone can ride out of the box and not a legit boardsport. They don't read the manual, ignore safety warnings, go 20+mph, skip their skull off the ground, and get seriously injured and/or die.
Oh you are definitely right about that! (apologies for not making that more clear). I feel terrible for those families but from what I've read about the situations I really don't think FM is at fault and I don't imagine they will lose the lawsuits. In general I hate how obsessed with lawsuits the culture in the US seems to be, and thats both coming from FM and towards FM. I just hope so bad that they don't go the way of Boosted, but if lawsuits keep getting thrown at them for injuries I'm afraid that will happen.
@@TheFloatLife I used to carry their business cards in my wallet and pass them around to people who showed interest in my board and tried it out. OneWheel needs to embrace their community because we are there for them. I feel like they have gotten a bit of a big head in the last year or so.
Good to know that the GT has a non standard tire. I live in hawaii, and shipping my XR one wheel is probably like $300 there, and $300 back…. So that’s a phat “no go” for me 🤣 right to repair 100% 👊🏽
Future motion is asking for a lot of hassle if they make new boards un-repairable outside of their hands. Speaking from inside the PEV community, its best to let the people do what they do best, fix. From there you can progress your innovation tremendously quicker. Future motion has acted very Apple for years now and it has left a stain on their rep. A lot of this has to be the fact that they are not a Chinese company and have to deal with liability issues. Also, nice Eevee's shirt with the V12. They sent me a V12 to show Toronto this past summer. I'll DM you when the crew is headed your way this coming summer 🤙🏻
I literally could not agree more about the XR. I have the original pint, put 800ish miles on it and was in a position to buy an XR. I still own both. 56 years old and I cannot imagine needing to "upgrade" to a gt or pintx. Long live my vintage onewheels!
I agree 100%. The XR is the most customizable onewheel money can buy and probably will be for some years. Well.. Until 3rd party companies can workaround it. But for now, everyone in GTs will have the latest tech.. But they'll all look the same. Infact, from the non riders, they can hardly tell the difference between pint, pint x and gt. Their form factor does appear similar unless you get the treaded wheel with the carbon fender to get that ultimate sleek tesla futuristic onewheel look for the gt. But outside that... The XR will be king in terms of overall usage. I can't see myself hitting tricks with the GT. I feel it's gonna be too heavy, pretty, too many things that could go wrong and not to mention that firmware in it to prevent modding... Lol. I respect what future motion is doing but people will always find a workaround. It's just a matter of time. But until then folks, GET UP IN DAT XR! It will never die. It's like that old camero that people just keep cherishing, fixing and modding in the garage to make it their own.. It'll never die. It's too revolutionary. From what I know... The XR with the right firmware (4209) is still the best onewheel because you can turn it into something greater than the GT.... You can get more range and about equal in torque with the tire change and bumper change to lessen weight.. I hope future motion really has something special in store for us that they haven't talked about in that gt. Only time will tell. But if you're on the fence for an XR... Get it if you can. You won't regret it, it's far from obsolete. Great video as usual!

@@EricBates i will say this with bias bc i hate RUclipsrs like jess'es friend peter - always advertising something we don't need, to ppl that can't afford it, from someone who didn't spend shit on it - that's telling you you need to use it from a "filmmakers" pov who aren't even really shooting or editing their own work. i kinda trust jesse's ingenuity. from a onewheel perspective - its def dangerous, however, it's priceless for what you can shoot with it. you can use skateboards, but then you're going to get a bounce in your shot. you can use a boosted board, but then you're not going to hop the curb on it and continue tracking your shot. i had to get one and learn how to ride and shoot on it in less than a week but i made an obstacle course on my roof and youtubed it. it's possible. overpriced, yes. i'd get one used IMO. but i'd def invest in one again.
Honestly one of the hardest parts about making a living on RUclips (for me personally anyway!) is trying to do it in a way that isn't just telling people to buy shit they don't need. Particularly when I have a constant stream of companies sending me offers to promote products and it would be so much easier to just say yes and pretend it doesn't hurt anyone, but I can't do that!

I hope I get to at some point! Maybe a v13 will be the best of both worlds between the v11 and v12! Now that winter is here in Canada I don’t think I’ll get to do much PEV testing unfortunately, unless it’s a sweet fat bike or something.

love my XR as well. I got infected at Peters and Mattis videos and I agree... Thats the best purchase since I bought my first drone back in 2015. Damn, that last shot wasn't necessary :D haha
I feel like we both share the same view of the XR. I’ve ridden on beaches in the rain. I’ve taken my board on hiking trails and lost it over a cliff side. It’s taken me to surf spots nobody else would spend time getting to. It’s helped me get to the front of a line of a traffic and help clear an accident off the road that nobody else was helping with (not even police). I can carry my dog on it. I can carry a surfboard or hydrofoil with a free hand to drink or do anything with. I shop with it daily. I let kids try it. I let elderly people try it. I commute to work on it. Everybody just loves this thing. It’s opened up a part of the world that walking/running/skating just can’t and slows things down enough that you just can’t in a car. The GT is cool. But it’s very expensive. And if I need to go 30 miles, I’d get a bike or car. 20 miles is already plenty. And yes a Pint X is $400 cheaper than a XR. And guess what’s $400 more than an XR? A GT. They’re smart to do this. As for suing companies for modding, just let them. They’re gonna do it regardless. If your product needs modifications to make someone happy, let them. If your product is perfect and doesn’t needs mods, cool. But even the “perfect” product will get modified. So just let it be.
Really loving your content lately. I have never used a Onewheel and never intend to (way too accident prone), but this video was still incredibly enjoyable. Cool!
I'm *sooo GLAD* i ordered mine 3 days ago ! I've been wanting an XR for ages and learning that they're now getting discontinued makes me super grateful that i didn't miss out ! #BLESSED
The XR looked really fun and I thought "ya, I can do that!" so my husband talked me into one (because I hemmed and hawed about it). We got one about a month before the new one was announced, he's bitter about it because he really researched it and they said in all the videos he could find that it was "it" and no others were coming out. Well, I blew my knee out on the first weekend and it's his now. Oh well, you guys make it look so easy. BTW, my knee had a torn ACL from a long time ago so I don't know what I was thinking. LOL
I actually bought the XR during black Friday sale at the lower $1499 price. I still think it's better than the pint x. Sorry if that's not popular opinion 😆
Little do you know that was your husband's plan all along. Haha but in all seriousness I am super sorry to hear that you injured yourself. I always love to show strangers the board and let them ride it if they take interest. But I am always worried somebody is going to get hurt! If you can, don't give up on it! I know it's hard with an injury, but once you get the hang of it and as long as you respect it, they really are quite safe (assuming there isn't some super random failure or something). Anyway, hope you are feeling better and hopefully at least your husband is getting some shredding on it.
Woah! You're getting great at that V12 rather quickly! I'm glad you're getting good at it before doing a full review. Also, glad that sweater fits 👀. Looking good Jesse! Also, thanks for speaking about right to repair. Cheers!
@@JesseDriftwood I think that’s what most people come from Onewheeling originally think. I almost gave up my first week haha. I can’t wait to see the full review.
I appreciate the reminder that I paid for Canva Pro for a reason and I need to use it more and for the lack of shoes in this video (not in a weird foot-thing kind of way...maybe should have left the last part out)
I LOVE riding my Onewheel in sandals. Although I can't say I ride often straight barefoot. Still get nervous though cause dropping in sandals is not ideal.
Love your channel! I've been riding a Pint for a month, already modded it with a GT40mod, range is excellent, about 28 km in 12 C°.... but I bought a low milage XR today... I don't have much money to spend or something, I wanted to buy an other car (less old :D ), but whatever. You live once, OneWheel is more exciting than an other car. :D Hell yeah! :D
Funny story: I've been watching you for a while and on the verge of getting a OneWheel. Two months ago I had some extra cash and decided to go for it and bought an XR+, love it, but now I am kicking my ass for not having waited just a bit longer and buying the GT. Oh well.... I still love the XR!
I JUST went and bought a new XR over a GT today. So don't feel bad. I think you lucked out. The GT honestly seems like a complete mess and this is coming from somebody who owns two OneWheels and they are my favorite things I've ever spent money on besides my Bed.
Great video for those considering waiting for the GT to arrive in Australia "early to mid 2022" or grabbing the last of the XR's in stock. Thanks Jesse!
I'll ride my XRs till I run out of parts to swap out. The growler set up is still my favorite trick board configuration, and WTF rails for trails. It would be interesting to see the aftermarket innovations to come out for the GT, but that would take a while to mature.
This is the same as a car, everyone has the right to mod it and they're liable for things breaking or causing accidents. And insurance (in this case warranty) won't cover it if it's been opened. All future motion has to do is what every other manufacturer does, put a void sticker on a bolt and state warranty mileage, 2000 maybe? When the tire needs to be replaced.. or more if they're willing to work with shops that sell their board to offer a certified tire service
this is an awesome video. I bought an og pint a while ago and been holding off for a gt. but I ended up just buying an XR last week. I love it so far and I love the versatility. couldn't agree with you more, long live the XR!!
I got my XR in late winter 2021. When the new line up was announced, at first I was feeling buyers remorse for not waiting, since everyone online was saying don't wait. Then people got their hands on the boards and the GT was not having a good launch but the Pint X was pretty solid. The more I learned about Onewheels and the community in general, I realized the XR was probably the best choice I could have made, especially since you cannot buy a new one from FM anymore. The aftermarket care the XR had and will continue to have is the biggest reason I'm glad though, especially with VESC now becoming the next thing. The XR will continue to be a great platform for a long time!
I think you made a great decision! I’ve only just started testing out the GT (and having a blast doing it) but I still think the XR is the right board for most people.
I’m coming up on 3,000 miles on my XR+ and still love it. Longer range and trail riding is definitely something I throughly enjoy and the 30+ miles with the CBXR battery and The extra 25 miles with a VNR Greenworks battery allows me to go all day! Its a blast! Can’t beat the miles of smiles of fun!
I feel like when the battery in this board dies I'll probably go the CBXR route, but honestly I'll want someone who's done it a few times to either walk me through, or do it for me.
the Onewheel XR platform at this point probably wont die even if they discontinue it. Ive been in the RC hobby for years and even legendary RCs like the HPI Baja "which is a 5th scale and is considered a niche RC in a niche hobby" have STRONG aftermarket support because 1. Allot of people owned it and needed to eventually repair it and 2. pushing the boundaries.
You along with Pete, Matti, and Levi are the reason I bought my XR and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said in this video! Did you badger your board? Or have you just been sending it through the water as is? Haha. Love the video bro.
Is there a diffrent buying a new xr vs a old one? I Mean in build... Are they are just the same as one from 3 years old? Beceaus I am gonne order one for sure! But I can buy also one from 2 years old with 115km on it. Any suggestions? Thanks! Super dope video! This gonne be my 1st board but I am super stoked for the xr!
I love the GT's range and speed but the steps that future motion is taking to make it harder for people to fix/repair their boards just so you have to over pay them for something you've already spent over £1k (or dollars) on is just insane to me, that's why I'm staying with my XR. (I know a lot of people will disagree but I like the squared off tire, I feel more stable)
The thing with RTR is, the manufacturer can literally take steps to make repairs easier and safer. Yes, the users can still screw up, but the amount of dumb people who will literally be careless about fixing a PEV, is very low. Companies should stop being anti RTR. If they don't want to accommodate RTR at least they should not go out of their way to stop people from doing so
Exactly! Repair can be made extremely simple and safe. It’s one of the reasons I love the little motorcycle that I daily.. it’s about as mechanically simple as a vehicle can be and most aren’t much more complicated. I, with many others have always done my own maintenance on my bikes and never had any safety issues. People understand the importance of doing the job properly and will generally find someone who can if they aren’t comfortable with it. Except for mounting tires.. screw that lol. I’ll swap out wheels but I’m bringing it to a shop for the actual mounting.
i don't have one yet but its 2024 and i have ben looking for a while and a dude let me ride his xr and gt and i noticed the sensory issue once i tried to activate it
I like my xr more than all the others too. I would say i like my gt more but it wont stop breaking so im just gonna put the GTV in it and if it breaks again ill just sell it cuz im over it
I really dig the color of those rail guards. All I can find is fluorescent yellow guards, but that doesn't sound like the right color to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I want to go road tripping far far away and be able to have all the spare parts necessary to fix anything that may happen which is why the people really into Onewheels always has more than 1 board for spare parts which is ridiculous in a sense. Not being able to bring a spare tire is just bs. It's really not so much to ask when all the board is put together with is hex bolts and barrel connectors
do you know what really sucks im 12 and i just got my first onewheel a couple days ago and then they say its discontinued like i mean i already got really comfortable on it and its my favorite onewheel board and when it breaks i cant fix it and then i cant get my onewheel that really sucks im really sad about this
I am pretty sure your 3k km board is a 4210 or older, you should get the CBXR battery upgrade and new bearings and you'll have a whole new board with GT specs but 10lbs lighter.
I think thats probably what I'll do when this battery dies out. It seems like its on its way out slowly right now but I'm going to leave it as long as possible :) I usually just bring the hyper charger with me on long rides just in case.
I wish you post more, but at the same time it would be a problem for me! everytime you post a video i HAVE to stop doing everything and watch it right away. Congrats mate!
I don't need a Onewheel. I cant imagine right now how I could have a nice story to make that expense pass the "family council"... 😅 But Damn! I want one... so maybe I have my story. Great video, love it!
The GT is more of a finished product and it looks great. I have to say I love the “garage built” look. I say the GT will do great in extreme terrains but then again it’s a bulky heavier board.
Well said, The one thing I would like to see is a competitive product. Maybe a Tesla onewheel, or an Apple onewheel, Segway onewheel. This I believe would keep prices out of low earth orbit. Also if future motion would make the XR or GT in business friendly states (Texas or Florida) they could cut the price in half. As it is the onewheel is a rich boys toy or old (with money) like me.
In my experience, most people can figure it out pretty well in the first 10 minutes. I've known a few people that took longer but they eventually got good too. I've even known people that had no board sport experience pick it up and get really good really quickly!
Tell me your weirdest Onewheel memory! I’ll go first.
I’ve gone trail riding completely naked under the full moon. 😏 🌚
My weirdest Onewheel memory was seeing this weird naked guy riding his Onewheel under the full moon
I’m waiting for the Nonewheel to drop… then I’m sailing across seas 🌊
As Peter would say: “Classic Jesse”
I’ve been wanting to do that since the V1!!! 😅
I have only one memory. Some stranger was onewheeling past me as I was biking and I shouted, “cool onewheel!” He replied, “thanks! Wanna try it?”

Yah that’s ridiculous! Same for shipping from Toronto. Seems absolutely bizarre to me a consumable item like a tire isn’t user replaceable.
Hopefully third-party vendors are able to come out with tires soon but that could take awhile it's a no-go for me as well based on that as well
I think for the vast majority the tire won't be an issue. By the time it needs replacing 3rd party tires will be available.
There are already 3rd party tires for the GT in the works.

If your product needs modifications to make someone happy, let them. If your product is perfect and doesn’t needs mods, cool.
But even the “perfect” product will get modified. So just let it be.
Yes dude! Exact same page, word for word.
"I wanna get good on that thing before I say One Wheel or another." Makes sense! Great vid, man! Thanks!
Jesse is the most underrated RUclips Filmmaker.
Really loving your content lately. I have never used a Onewheel and never intend to (way too accident prone), but this video was still incredibly enjoyable. Cool!
Thanks!!
I'm *sooo GLAD* i ordered mine 3 days ago !
I've been wanting an XR for ages and learning that they're now getting discontinued makes me super grateful that i didn't miss out !
#BLESSED
“You are my hero”😂😂 you have the best sponsorship segments Jesse. I love canva, and YOU
Thank you for making me feel even better about buying my xr in 2019. 2380 miles on the board since!
The XR looked really fun and I thought "ya, I can do that!" so my husband talked me into one (because I hemmed and hawed about it). We got one about a month before the new one was announced, he's bitter about it because he really researched it and they said in all the videos he could find that it was "it" and no others were coming out. Well, I blew my knee out on the first weekend and it's his now. Oh well, you guys make it look so easy. BTW, my knee had a torn ACL from a long time ago so I don't know what I was thinking. LOL
I actually bought the XR during black Friday sale at the lower $1499 price. I still think it's better than the pint x. Sorry if that's not popular opinion 😆
Little do you know that was your husband's plan all along. Haha but in all seriousness I am super sorry to hear that you injured yourself. I always love to show strangers the board and let them ride it if they take interest. But I am always worried somebody is going to get hurt! If you can, don't give up on it! I know it's hard with an injury, but once you get the hang of it and as long as you respect it, they really are quite safe (assuming there isn't some super random failure or something). Anyway, hope you are feeling better and hopefully at least your husband is getting some shredding on it.
Woah! You're getting great at that V12 rather quickly! I'm glad you're getting good at it before doing a full review. Also, glad that sweater fits 👀. Looking good Jesse!
Also, thanks for speaking about right to repair. Cheers!
I want to make sure I have an actual informed opinion that isn't just "wow this is hard, one wheels are the best!!!" lol
@@JesseDriftwood I think that’s what most people come from Onewheeling originally think. I almost gave up my first week haha. I can’t wait to see the full review.
Wow your production and editing is absolutely first class
Excellent video as always! You've got me reminiscing about my XR like someone took it away, when really it's just downstairs as ready to go as always.
If you cannot repair these things yourself they should at least expand with repair centres around the world.
Thats what I would love to see! Licensed repair centres.
💯 it's like a no brainer
I appreciate the reminder that I paid for Canva Pro for a reason and I need to use it more and for the lack of shoes in this video (not in a weird foot-thing kind of way...maybe should have left the last part out)
I LOVE riding my Onewheel in sandals. Although I can't say I ride often straight barefoot. Still get nervous though cause dropping in sandals is not ideal.
Love your channel! I've been riding a Pint for a month, already modded it with a GT40mod, range is excellent, about 28 km in 12 C°.... but I bought a low milage XR today... I don't have much money to spend or something, I wanted to buy an other car (less old :D ), but whatever. You live once, OneWheel is more exciting than an other car. :D Hell yeah! :D
Funny story: I've been watching you for a while and on the verge of getting a OneWheel. Two months ago I had some extra cash and decided to go for it and bought an XR+, love it, but now I am kicking my ass for not having waited just a bit longer and buying the GT. Oh well.... I still love the XR!
The GT is overhyped in my view. XR is built better and more customizable
I JUST went and bought a new XR over a GT today. So don't feel bad. I think you lucked out. The GT honestly seems like a complete mess and this is coming from somebody who owns two OneWheels and they are my favorite things I've ever spent money on besides my Bed.
Great video for those considering waiting for the GT to arrive in Australia "early to mid 2022" or grabbing the last of the XR's in stock. Thanks Jesse!
Stoked to see Christoph again! I just like knowing your gang is out east making different stuff happen and helpin each other out when it needed.
I'll ride my XRs till I run out of parts to swap out. The growler set up is still my favorite trick board configuration, and WTF rails for trails. It would be interesting to see the aftermarket innovations to come out for the GT, but that would take a while to mature.
So good from beginning to end. Love how your pieces just feel complete. Great story telling as always✨💜
Big thanks for bringing more light to this #RightToRepair issue, and at least getting the conversation started!
Honestly, the number one thing keeping me away from getting a one wheel is just how anti right to repair future motion is.
Buy a used XR and mod it. That way none of the money goes to FM
Why are we putting products inside the tire ??
This is the same as a car, everyone has the right to mod it and they're liable for things breaking or causing accidents. And insurance (in this case warranty) won't cover it if it's been opened. All future motion has to do is what every other manufacturer does, put a void sticker on a bolt and state warranty mileage, 2000 maybe? When the tire needs to be replaced.. or more if they're willing to work with shops that sell their board to offer a certified tire service
this is an awesome video. I bought an og pint a while ago and been holding off for a gt. but I ended up just buying an XR last week. I love it so far and I love the versatility. couldn't agree with you more, long live the XR!!
Jesse at 2:50 ish when you mention riding in the rain, did you ever waterproof your board or was that stock?
I have never ridden a Onewheel XR, but I have a GT and and a Pint. I really want to ride the XR on day.
I got my XR in late winter 2021. When the new line up was announced, at first I was feeling buyers remorse for not waiting, since everyone online was saying don't wait. Then people got their hands on the boards and the GT was not having a good launch but the Pint X was pretty solid. The more I learned about Onewheels and the community in general, I realized the XR was probably the best choice I could have made, especially since you cannot buy a new one from FM anymore. The aftermarket care the XR had and will continue to have is the biggest reason I'm glad though, especially with VESC now becoming the next thing. The XR will continue to be a great platform for a long time!
I think you made a great decision! I’ve only just started testing out the GT (and having a blast doing it) but I still think the XR is the right board for most people.
I have zero experience with onewheel, although they do look very fun. But I'm here to say out loud, "Love the intro, Jesse!"
The very best YT I have watched in 2021, old enough and should probably stick with 4 wheels but inspired by you every vid 🖖
That yellow onewheel looks awesome.
“Life is too short to be a d!ck to strangers” Well said Jesse and awesome video. Damn I want one of these.
Haha yes! It looks like it belongs on a construction site and I love it.
I’m coming up on 3,000 miles on my XR+ and still love it. Longer range and trail riding is definitely something I throughly enjoy and the 30+ miles with the CBXR battery and The extra 25 miles with a VNR Greenworks battery allows me to go all day! Its a blast! Can’t beat the miles of smiles of fun!
I feel like when the battery in this board dies I'll probably go the CBXR route, but honestly I'll want someone who's done it a few times to either walk me through, or do it for me.
I'm so glad I got my xr on sale a week ago the gt looks cool but I want to be able to customize my board and I love that xr look.
Me too!!!
So feeling you on this one! Great vid mate. 🤙
1:11 STOP IT!!!! 😂 😂 I am crying with laughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still buying my first XR in 2023, super hyped, my pint is the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever owned.
the Onewheel XR platform at this point probably wont die even if they discontinue it. Ive been in the RC hobby for years and even legendary RCs like the HPI Baja "which is a 5th scale and is considered a niche RC in a niche hobby" have STRONG aftermarket support because 1. Allot of people owned it and needed to eventually repair it and 2. pushing the boundaries.
I have a Pint X arriving today, I am SO excited! All because of your vids :)
You along with Pete, Matti, and Levi are the reason I bought my XR and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said in this video! Did you badger your board? Or have you just been sending it through the water as is? Haha. Love the video bro.
Hey Jesse, thanks for being you.
No, thank YOU!
Is there a diffrent buying a new xr vs a old one?
I Mean in build... Are they are just the same as one from 3 years old?
Beceaus I am gonne order one for sure! But I can buy also one from 2 years old with 115km on it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Super dope video! This gonne be my 1st board but I am super stoked for the xr!
Ah yes, the old “topic is now outdated” thing in the middle of an edit… Painful! Good video mate, and I agree!
*Also team "Right to repair"* 🤙🏼
Keep up the great vids Jesse. Here a question, Where do you recommend I buy a used XR? ( if you can since they've been discontinued)😥
Hahaha love this! Your the best Jesse, just got a used XR and I love it, don’t care about the new models
Good choice!
I would be so scared to do all the jumps and even off road rides on this thing. But you made it look so tempting.
I couldn't agree more. My XR is the greatest toy I have. I ride every single day and cant get enough of it
The chaotic neutral of Jesse Driftwood is oddly satisfying to me.
I love your videos!!! I am saving for a pint x because the XR is not here anymore😞 and the gt is way to expensive. keep making onewheel videos!!!
picked up a px myself just cause I love the playfulness of it however I could see myself getting a used XR and tricking it out for winter riding.
If this isn’t a t-shirt already, it really should be! “life’s too short to be a dick to strangers.”
I love the GT's range and speed but the steps that future motion is taking to make it harder for people to fix/repair their boards just so you have to over pay them for something you've already spent over £1k (or dollars) on is just insane to me, that's why I'm staying with my XR. (I know a lot of people will disagree but I like the squared off tire, I feel more stable)
I’m on the same boat.
@@shitalchaudhary5972 Yeah I'm keeping mine. Just because the GT came out doesn't make the XR obsolete.
Really awesome video! Enjoyed it👏🏼
The thing with RTR is, the manufacturer can literally take steps to make repairs easier and safer. Yes, the users can still screw up, but the amount of dumb people who will literally be careless about fixing a PEV, is very low.
Companies should stop being anti RTR. If they don't want to accommodate RTR at least they should not go out of their way to stop people from doing so
Exactly! Repair can be made extremely simple and safe. It’s one of the reasons I love the little motorcycle that I daily.. it’s about as mechanically simple as a vehicle can be and most aren’t much more complicated. I, with many others have always done my own maintenance on my bikes and never had any safety issues. People understand the importance of doing the job properly and will generally find someone who can if they aren’t comfortable with it.
Except for mounting tires.. screw that lol. I’ll swap out wheels but I’m bringing it to a shop for the actual mounting.
Hey when r u doing the gt review?
i don't have one yet but its 2024 and i have ben looking for a while and a dude let me ride his xr and gt and i noticed the sensory issue once i tried to activate it
I like my xr more than all the others too. I would say i like my gt more but it wont stop breaking so im just gonna put the GTV in it and if it breaks again ill just sell it cuz im over it
I really dig the color of those rail guards. All I can find is fluorescent yellow guards, but that doesn't sound like the right color to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I want to go road tripping far far away and be able to have all the spare parts necessary to fix anything that may happen which is why the people really into Onewheels always has more than 1 board for spare parts which is ridiculous in a sense. Not being able to bring a spare tire is just bs. It's really not so much to ask when all the board is put together with is hex bolts and barrel connectors
random but where'd you get your helmet? love it 😆
I actually forget! This thing is super old now, in fact I probably should have replaced it a very long time ago.
Jesse! Do you feel as though the new xr sensor is harder to activate than the old one?
Hmmm I haven’t noticed that off hand.
do you know what really sucks im 12 and i just got my first onewheel a couple days ago and then they say its discontinued like i mean i already got really comfortable on it and its my favorite onewheel board and when it breaks i cant fix it and then i cant get my onewheel that really sucks im really sad about this
life is to short to be sad with 12 years
I am pretty sure your 3k km board is a 4210 or older, you should get the CBXR battery upgrade and new bearings and you'll have a whole new board with GT specs but 10lbs lighter.
I think thats probably what I'll do when this battery dies out. It seems like its on its way out slowly right now but I'm going to leave it as long as possible :) I usually just bring the hyper charger with me on long rides just in case.
Have you ever ridden an electric unicycle? We would love to get you on one and see what you think of it compared to a OneWheel!
I believe in #righttorepair. I own a xr and ordered the GT. I truly hope it's not so locked down we can fix them ourselves
same
I watch every single One Wheel film of yours Jesse, I haven't never owned or used one. Aside from the time I fell off yours...
Get back here and don't fall this time!
Karma should treat you well Jesse .. so true to say people be nice to each other !
The intro was sick as hell. How many tries did that take?
I completely agree Jesse
I wish you post more, but at the same time it would be a problem for me! everytime you post a video i HAVE to stop doing everything and watch it right away. Congrats mate!
I wish I did too! Let's see if I can get it up to 2 videos a month next year lol.
@@JesseDriftwood that would be awesome! We need more Jesse in our lives!
What shoes are them a 7:21, please help
Vivo Barefoot Magnus Trail, something like that!
@@JesseDriftwood thanks, super appreciated 😃
Lmao I literally paid for a gt 2 days ago it went obsolete that recently?
Edit: not obsolete, I meant discontinued*
Just bought a XR as an upgrade for my Pint. I like the upgradability.
would you recommend a onewheel to someone who has never ridden a skateboard proir to trying it?
Absolutely! But I think the best option is to try one out for a while first, and hopefully have someone who knows how to ride teach you a little bit.
I would. it's how I fell in love w/my Pint
Great Video! Props to the XR, couldn’t agree more.
I wanna see you ride the GT 🥺 especially the edits no doubt it'll look even more better. Haist Feb 7 yet?
im definatly getting one in a couple years. i put 2k on my xr. miss it so much.
I don't need a Onewheel. I cant imagine right now how I could have a nice story to make that expense pass the "family council"... 😅 But Damn! I want one... so maybe I have my story. Great video, love it!
Hopefully you can at least get a chance to ride one someday!
maybe non related to the focus of the video, but my favorite line was "life is to short to just be a dick to strangers"... so true and so apt haha
I’m ocd and I appreciate your deeds from 4:38 to 4:40
The GT is more of a finished product and it looks great. I have to say I love the “garage built” look. I say the GT will do great in extreme terrains but then again it’s a bulky heavier board.
Well said, The one thing I would like to see is a competitive product. Maybe a Tesla onewheel, or an Apple onewheel, Segway onewheel. This I believe would keep prices out of low earth orbit. Also if future motion would make the XR or GT in business friendly states (Texas or Florida) they could cut the price in half. As it is the onewheel is a rich boys toy or old (with money) like me.
Jesse❤️ hope you’re going to have a wonderful holiday
Are they hard to ride? I can ride a bike, ok skateboarder and surfed when I was a kid. Looks awesome fun
In my experience, most people can figure it out pretty well in the first 10 minutes. I've known a few people that took longer but they eventually got good too. I've even known people that had no board sport experience pick it up and get really good really quickly!
another awesome video, a peek into jessies brain.
Yo the used market for the one wheel pint will be ham I’ll prolly cop one for the buds
As always, amazing intro!
Did I peep some Vivos? 👀
Yeah! I switched over to minimalist shoes almost two years ago now and really couldn’t imagine ever going back.
