Hi Mike! Great Channel! I’m thinking of upgrading to a pint X, and then later to a GT. I bought a pint during Covid, and I swear it’s saved me from tons of depression that I had been in for over 5 years. I ride it every day since March, and I’m just over 1300 miles. This is a great hobby for middle-age folks like ourselves. I am 54, and having the time of my life!
Hi Rutger, I'm about your age and experience the same thing. It's a great way for you to get out and enjoy life. As you have probably seen I also go on group rides with people of all ages. It's a challenge and fun too, and it's great doing something different from the mainstream. I've had XR's and I've had the OG pint and I encourage you to do what I did and get the Pint X until the GT arrives. It'll open up a whole new world of riding for you while you are waiting on the GT, and sell the OG pint now to make up some the cost of the Pint X. Say goodbye to range anxiety. :)
I’m 45 and just bought a Pint X. I’ve had an electric skateboard for a few years but hoping the one wheel gives me a smoother ride and opens up some additional terrain!
Just got my first OW pint X yesterday and freaking love it. It’s like a skateboard but 100000 times more fun. 38yo here. Also my 6 yo tried it with me holding him and he liked it a lot too.
Excellent, it is a life-changing experience. The Pint X is full of power. One word of advice, if not wearing one already, wear a helmet and wrist pads.
Cool video Mike...I just got a Pint X for my 67th birthday last week, and am really enjoying it, my legs were sure sore after that first ride and landing on my butt a couple times, but I can tell it's gonna be great fun for me. Out to saver the experience, not the intensity...and I have seen a couple XRs' on craigslist. I live in Pensacola. Have fun Man!!
Congratulations Jesse! Your life is about to change. Falling in the beginning is natural its good to have some gear like a helmet and wrist pads for that eventuality. Centuries ago Ponce de Leon searched Florida for the Fountain of Youth, and some say it is in St Augustine, but you just discovered it!
Also sold my XR and got a pint x. Love it, the only thing I regret for myself is the larger footpads on the XR were nicer for me. I feel a little more unstable with the stock Pint X gear. I swapped the back pad for an Extended curved OneTail and now it feels much more like the XR was.
That's a great idea, I thought I saw one of The Float Life pads extended it for like a half an inch. I was just so surprised the how agile it is and it has a lot of power, so it's a great combination.
Mike I did the same thing, ordered the GT and sold my XR 30 mins after future motion announcing the GT. I thought I could wait but broke down and bought the yellow pint x two days later and I love it. Can’t wait for the GT but happy to have something to ride. Might keep the pint x as well.
LOL that's exactly what I did. I couldn't hold out that long without a Onewheel and I had to buy another one and with everybody selling their XR'd, I felt the Pint X would hold its value better. Now it's growing on me so much it may be hard for me to let go.
Hi, I sold the XR because I was getting the GT and I thought I could wait a couple of months without a Onewheel but I found out I can't go without a Onewheel even for for two weeks, lol. So because the Pint X is a new product and it goes just as far as not farther than an XR, I felt it would hold its value more when it comes time to sell it when the GT arrives versus a new XR.
@@mikeintampa250 only thing is they are phasing the xr out now and once it’s gone it’s gonna basically become a collectors item and they did a huge sale on the xr they made it 1500
I was torn between XR and pint X when it came to off-road, I just have some small trail systems around my place, and this video sold me on the pint x for sure. I'm drawn to that one more anyway. Thanks! I like nimble hehe.
I'm a guy who has been riding dirtbikes and dualsports my whole life. I decided to get a pint x and I'm loving it. The combo of the pint x with my crf250 is amazing there is absolutely nowere I can't go
I've been an XR and Pint owner for years. Sold them last year and bought a Pint X for my son last week and I've been riding it while I wait for my GT. So far, I'm impressed with the upgrades!
I'm glad I don't feel like I'm the only older guy (in my 40s) who rides a one wheel. I get many comments from peers saying "You're too old to ride that thing."
Hi, i bought my first onewheel in last august and i was 53 years old and now getting 54 , i ordered the GT. Age is in the mond, i love it and maken me feel young again. Hope to float till i am 70 😂
2 drawbacks for pint fixed with X version: range and speed. Still it's a smaller board and riding it feels different. XR still much more comfortable for me and I wouldn't exchange it for a pint X but definitely it's a valid option now.
Hi, my point wasn't trying to necessarily make the argument that the Pint X is way better than the XR. What I was trying to say is that most people with XR's that I know including me either sold or are selling them to get the GT and there's going to be a glut of XR's on the market so I figured sell now and get a better price for it than I would in a month or two and the next-gen Pint X should hold its value better than the XR and then sell it when the GT ships. But having the Pint X now instead of the XR, i find it to be very fun board, very agile and it has the same power that the XR did.
I want to onewheel in FL so bad! I lived in Jax for a few years before I owned a Pint, but ended up back in Columbus. The days are already getting into the 30's and you really have to push yourself to ride. I need that GT to arrive yesterday! I'll bet I'm going to feel superhuman going from Pint to GT. (never rode an XR)
Hi Stu, yes you will feel superhuman! It was almost that feeling going from the OG pint to the XR. If you lived in Jacksonville, you know that Florida gets cold too but just not as bad as where you are. Obviously the great thing about living down here is you could ride relatively comfortably all year round, although it was in the sixties yesterday, lol.
I plan on buying a GT-S at some point, maybe a Pint-X, as well...but I'll never get rid of my XR. I love it too much. Plus, it's good to have if someone wants to learn, or ride along.
@@romantrotta4192 after I made this video I eventually sold the X bought a GT, sold that and then bought a GTS. If I was going to have a spare board laying around I would make it the GT as I think it is much more safer than the XR due to its increased power torque and headroom. I know these cost a lot of money though.
@mikeintampa250 Yeah, they are pricey, that's for sure. I'm completely aware of the limitations of the XR, but I usually don't push it too hard...I usually just leisurely cruise around...it clears my head. I have family in Tarpon Springs, they tell me they dodged a bullet with that last hurricane. Another storm coming...stay safe.
@@romantrotta4192 thanks much, that's how I ride to just for pleasure and it clears my mind as well. I hope your family made it through Helene okay, this one is taking a direct aim at us though so they may want to evacuate sooner rather than later given Tarpon Springs low sea level. All my best.
@mikeintampa250 The predicted path looks pretty scary. They will evacuate when it's recommended....I'm the knucklehead that would insist on staying, (luckily I'm on my boat in Maryland). My best to you, as well. Good luck.
Saw your vid and thought that had to be FishHwk... i remember going there and thinking how great it would be to ride the OW there... it's lowkey one of the reasons I might move there (that, and the insane home prices here on the other side of the peninsula: Weston).
I've not owned an XR but I have been on a friend's XR a few times but I went for the pint X, i personally think they are completely different boards, for me the pint X is a street board and the XR is a trail board, I took my pint X to the same place I tried the XR at and it didn't handle no where near as well as the XR on the trails (maybe a treaded tire would help) but on the tarmac track it was much better then the XR, carving is effortless on the pint X, I might get the GT once the issues have been ironed out, more so for the range then speed, I got just over 20 miles on the pint X with 17% battery left on flat tarmac track, didnt want to stop tho so the GT's range is what I'd like from it. Also it would be cool if you could turn the lights off from the app to save a little power, although it may be negligible 🤷
Nice! I still have my OG pint that my son has claimed. I need to install the quart mod I bought soon so he gets that increased range. I recieved it just before FM announced the pint x. I'm holding onto my XR as well as I think they will still be key in the used market of the Onewheel ecosystem. Plus an extra board to share the stoke is a good thing I think. Glad you're enjoying the pint x can't wait for the GT! ➖☠️➖🤙🤙
Thanks Mickey, I'm already starting to see people sell their used XR's here and I am guessing that there will be a glut of them toward the end of January beginning of February when the GT ships. Getting on the Pint X brought back old memories of the OG Pint, but without the range anxiety. How much range are you anticipating with the Quart?
Hey I live in New Port Richey and just ordered my first one-wheel the GT. I thought it would be a fun thing to use while I full time travel this coming year. I am 48 and just really want something to get out and do something again. I really enjoy your video of this ride. If I get good enough quick enough maybe we could meet up for a ride.
You should go to the group rides on Tuesday night in downtown Tampa or Thursday night in downtown St Pete because there are riders of all experience levels and all are welcome.
Thanks dude, it felt so good to be back on a Onewheel after 2 weeks without one. I never thought I'd ever be back on a Pint again after owning one (and quickly getting rid of it) early on, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I been watching so many videos for the past week to push me to buy my first one wheel. I think the pint x suits me. It looks like fun but I don't get out much, I'm an introvert and I'd hate to spend that much money on something I could potentially end up not using much. I'm 35 and the only thing I know how to ride is a bike 😁
What you might want to do is buy a Pint X instead of a GT, learn to ride, see if you like it, and if you do, sell your Pint X and buy a GT. If you don't like it, sell your Pint X you should get most of your money back as it's a brand new model and it should be holding its value very well.
Hey man - I'm 47 and I've had my Pint X for a week. I had zero experience with skateboards, snowboards, etc, so it was a completely new experience for me. After 3-4 days I was very comfortable on it and I get excited to ride it every day. It's relaxing and exciting at the same time, and always puts me in a great mood. I would be surprised if you "didn't use it much." Just be patient with yourself when you're learning. I say go for it!
@@budyutube It's a game changer man. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 10 and this summer I came to the realization that I just wasn't getting the same thrill I used to. I sold my bike and picked up a Pint X. Best decision ever. Fun to learn and more of a thrill than I've felt in years.
@@JBonham1980 Even better! My wife has been massively against me getting a motorcycle so I actually thought this could be another way for thrills and fun. Perfect you bought that up, now I'm super convinced and can't wait!! Thank you!
@@keithy4129 I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing, and that they could do even more, but they hold themselves back for legal reasons. Over the years I've owned 4 Onewheels so far, all brand new and they've always been great never had a problem. Very good quality.
Hi Tony, yes, Future Motion temporarily reduced it for their Black Friday sale. This is further proof to me that they are dumping their XR's as they are obsoleted by the next-gen boards. I still stand by what my point was in the video, that because there is going to be a glut in the market of used XR's due to everyone dumping them to get GT's, I still believe that Pint X will hold its value better than an XR. If that aspect of XR ownership doesn't matter to you, and if you feel more comfortable on an XR then go for it.
no need for range anxiety with a battery mod. . I have a pint. .replaced the original battery with 21700. Now I can can go 18+ miles of range. I also added another extra battery using Lifepo4, 18s. each is 6000MAH. Now I can go over 30 miles with my pint with the added extra LIfepo4 battery. Although after 15 miles or so, it gets tiring and no longer have the onewheel pint fun factor. We should be able to mod the new pint X. .
Thinking about getting a One Wheel. It’s going to be my first one and I’ve never ridden one before. Should I go with the Pint X or GT? I’m 210 lb with US size 11 shoes. What would you recommend?
First of all that's awesome that you're thinking about getting one. Whichever one you choose it's going to change your life. A couple things to think about, if you get the Pint X it will not set you back as much as a GT would and if you decide Onewheeling isn't for you you'll be able to sell it and get most of your money back. If you decide it is for you you could always sell it and get most of your money back and use that money towards a GT. The GT is a lot more powerful than the X and it therefore may be more difficult to learn at first because you have to learn how to contain the power. On the other hand you're a size 11 shoe and so the foot pads on the GT are wider and may be more comfortable for you. That comfort may lead you to like the Onewheel even more. I am about your weight and so I appreciate the extra power of the GT getting me through areas that the X might have difficulty doing. Therefore because of your weight in the size of your foot I will recommend the GT to you.
Thank you Chris, I truly hope you get one one day as it will likely be a life-changing experience, as it was for me and many others. From what I've seen of New Zealand you have some great terrain to ride on too. Merry Christmas!
Hey man thank you, and I hope you get to try it someday too. Most of the guys down here that I know that ride EUC's also either have ridden Onewheels or still do and it's great being part of both communities. I know the weather is getting much colder where you are, and it looks like you are gaming more. Maybe we'll play together soon.
@@mikeintampa250 The temperature has dropped but I'm still riding. I was riding in NYC and my ride footage was total garbage 😂🤣 I don't want to subject any viewers to my awful footage 🤣 as long as there's no snow on the ground I'm gonna ride. I have to make up for lost time.
I’ve been torn on wanting to get a Pint X or saving up more for a GT later on. I think the Pint X would be good enough for me as far as range, fun and power though.
Hi Alan, if the XR would have been good enough for you power and range wise the Pint X will too, but for $400 less with a more finished look. However, if you really want to take it to the next level the GT would be the way to go for $400 more than the XR. The point I was trying to make in my video is there's a way to do both and sell the Pint X when your GT ships as I firmly believe that the Pint X will hold its value more than the XR because it is nextgen and so new.
First. You have some great terrain to ride! I got my Pint X a few days after it launched. I am new to OneWheel. I love my Pint X! It is so carvy and nimble. Granted I can't compare it to the XR. I take it on trails no problem. You made me laugh. "I never ride it in the rain". I live in the Pacific Northwest. I ride in the rain all the time! Mine is currently pretty muddy :). Float on man!
So glad you are liking the Pint X. It doesn't sound like you have much to compare it to, but I once owned the regular Pint and the first few miles were great but the ride was always dominated with range anxiety and plotting where I can get a charge, which took away from a lot of the fun. I think the most I ever got out of it was 9 miles and I had to endure the embarrassment of trying to ride with my XR friends and then having to wait for me to charge up somewhere where I could sneak a charge. XR's were great in that it gave me up to 16 miles of range. However the XR looks like it was made in someone's garage although you could spend a lot of money modding it to make it look like your own. It is a clunky beautiful beast. I have 3000 miles on a XR's and they are a blast to ride, not hating on them. I would have had 6,000 miles on XR's if I didn't also ride EUC's. The Pint X takes the best quality of the XR, which is its greater battery size for extended range and speed and torque and puts it into a smaller more refined package. I don't ride in the rain, but it sounds like you have no choice, lol. I am glad it is holding up well in the rain, and I believe the GT that is coming out will be even more water resistant. Maybe then I will ride in the rain, lol. I'm not trying to preach to anyone but if you're riding in a lot of mud obviously get a fender if you don't already. The previous nimbleness of the Pint compared with its Newfound power makes it such a blast to ride!
@@mikeintampa250 I have tried a friend's XR for a few minutes. Not much to compare to, but I didn't like how big it felt. I have a fender. I also got a Fangs v2 front bumper with the wheels. It saved me from a nosedive yesterday. Went down a ramp from sidewalk to street. There was a drop at the end that I didn't anticipate. The nose hit, but because of the Fang I was able to ride it out and get the nose back up. At age 42 I really don't want to slam the ground too often. I am pretty jealous of your Florida weather this time of year. Cheers!
@@TheKrisBunch sounds like a great recovery, I am older than you I know what you mean about trying to avoid crashes. Yes, sometimes the XR does feel a bit big and clunky, it is like a tank period once you get the Pint X down, you'll eventually be ready to move on to the GTA. There's no point of moving twin XR once you have the Pint X. Same range. I am originally from New York, and I can't stand the cold and terrible weather there for most of the year. Here you get to ride all year round in relative comfort. I have at times thought of moving to the Pacific Northwest because it looks beautiful. But you are right, it is rainy and cold there a lot of the time.
@@mikeintampa250 Looks like you made the right decision to sell your XR when you did. They are now discontinued and $1400 new. Even at that price point I still feel the Pint X is a better deal.
I hear same pushback but the pushback activation limit has been bumped up a couple mph. How does it feel? The pushback on that thing was way too aggressive for my taste. How do you like it?
Hi Graham, I'm experiencing push back at 17 _17 and a half mph, which is good enough for me at my weight. When the GT comes it should push back around 20 mph. The pushback is strong but I know you could go through it a little bit but I'm not going to try I don't want to nosedive. It doesn't seem to run out of power period on the road so I should get 18 miles of range because I got 16 going up a lot of hills on trails and riding at the pushback level a lot.
Hi Mike! I enjoy your channel! If you don't mind me asking, what size shoe do you wear. I am considering a Pint X, as I live in the East, but work out in the Southwest sometimes, and don't want to build a wooden box/crate, or buy a Pelican box for shipping, or take apart my XR to bring it out. I thought for a minute of buying a used pint, adding Quart (Chi), while leaving stock rails that would appear as a lower than acceptable airline acceptance, but in the end, getting to a bigger city where these used units are available will cost too much, travel expense, so I believe buying a new one with free shipping will be my best option. Another thing, I learned is weight. I wish with the original purchase of my XR, I wouldn't have added so much weight added protection. I wish I had just replace scratched parts instead of adding more plastic. I believe the bundles aren't that valuable. Cheers!
Good video. I can see partially where you’re coming from if you don’t upgrade boards and keep them 100% stock. Throwing on an aftermarket tire and some accessories really change the XR (If you haven’t had a chance to try one I highly recommend it). Not to mention the growler conversion or a few other things to make it more pint like. The small foot pad and the slow charging and no custom shaping options is why pint X is still cheaper.
Hi, I had 2 XR's and the first one I added a Kush footpad, Float Life grip tape, rail guards, Float Plates, Vega Yellow tire. Don't get me wrong, the XR is great and those improvements help it too. But being able to have the same range on something as agile as the Pint X blew me away.
@@mikeintampa250 you replaced your vegan with the yellow vega?! I didn't know you could even get them lol. You need to try a burris tire my man that's what making you not love your XR’s. Even a burtis over your pint tire will be night and day difference.
@@brendenbull not that I don't love the XR, I just think the Pint X is going to hold its value now more than the XR given the lower price point, it is brand new, and they are looking like they are obsoleting the XR. I am getting the GT after putting 3k miles on XR's.
Thank you, I use the hand mirror by just lifting up my hand and I can see what's behind me. I started using it when I was riding euc's because turning around would throw me off balance. But it works on a Onewheel as well. I shot this on an insta360 One X with an invisible selfie stick.
Great Video! What camera setup are you using? I am 56 I weigh 170 lbs at 5"6" tall, and I am looking to get my first one wheel. Big question Pint-x or GT for a new bee?
Check out my near-death experience on a Onewheel video. It wasn't the board's fault, I hit a big crack in the sidewalk and went flying like 20 ft but after like two weeks I built my confidence back up and was riding the way I was before the mishap. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
Hey Mike great video ! I'm in Sarasota and looking to get a one wheel and I was looking at the pintX. For a first time user which would you recommend ?
Thanks much! The Pint X would be a great entryway into the world of Onewheeling. It has plenty of power and should yield you approximately 16 miles of range. I would recommend against the original Pint as it doesn't have nearly the power and range that the X has. If for some reason you do not like riding, you're not out as much money as if you bought the GT. Also the Pint X holds its value relatively well. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions as you begin your journey.
@@mikeintampa250 With all my years of snowboarding and wakeboarding I have a feeling I'm going to love it. Def not considering the original pint. Just considering the PintX and the GT. If money isn't an issue which would you recommend out of those two ? Also can the PintX be adjusted in the app/get new FW or is that tuning only for the GT?
If money isn't an issue I would go with the GT, as it has a lot more power, torque, and range and you won't grow out of it anytime soon. I sold my Pint X already so I can't tell you for sure about the custom shaping but I don't think it had it available. However, I've been Onewheeling for about 4 years now and I don't think I've ever had the need for custom shaping but that is subjective.
Thanks Paul, I am lucky to have a lot of nice trails around here. Plus both Tampa and St Petersburg have weekly group rides that are really cool too and help you up your game.
Glad you found the video, I didn't want to push that on you, LOL. One other thing I forgot to mention to you is that two years ago I also began riding electric unicycles ("EUC''s"), and in Sweden there's a big EUC scene. As a matter of fact I got my start watching the Swedish EUC riders and one in particular was sort of my mentor.
Hi Mike. Like your video. I am curious to know if you've had any major falls from the onewheel that was a malfunction of the onewheel and not your own doing? Next question is, can the onewheel be completely operated independent of the onewheel app? I've read bad reviews about the app. I'm 48 and I'm thinking of buying the GT in the spring as a beginner. I know is a lot of money but I really like the new design of the board with the concave footpads and overall look. And the range is ridiculous. I'm already mapping out in my head of all the places I would use the OW. Thanx Mike. BTW, that 360 camera trick is cool. Can't even see the selfie stick. Is that part of the software or you edit that out?
Thank you. Any falls I've had have been my fault or just circumstance, never the fault of the Onewheel. I think the app is great, it keeps track of very important stats like range, mileage, and regen. You also use it to turn the lights on and off and the digital shaping of the board meaning its characteristics. It also keeps track of achievements for you, like achievements on an Xbox. But yes you can use it without the app. The selfie stick is invisible for my camera, I didn't have to edit it out.
For all the reasons Mike pointed out I also recommend using the app. If you were dead set against it for some reason, there is a way to manually select from the configured ride modes, at least with an XR. You lay the XR on its side with the power button facing up, hold down the sensor pad and turn it on. The power light will blink with a number corresponding to the linear count of which riding mode it is currently in. Touching the sensor pad advances to the next ride mode. The blink count will change to indicate your current selection. I stumbled onto this explanation on Reddit (I believe) and tested it on my XR and CBXR successfully. Even with this functionality is still bare-bones so I suggest @theone2b33 use the app. One function I use regularly is to turn my wheel's lights on and off for different scenarios.
@@3guysagirlandatonoffun47 thanks much! The more I ride the Pint X the more I like it. Such agility and power in one small form factor. Depending on how the GT rides, I may just have to keep it, LOL. I use a insta360 One X camera with a 6 ft retractable invisible selfie stick. I checked Amazon and they are up to the insta360 one x 2. It looks the same but I don't know what the differences are, probably minor.
Hey Mike, would you recommend the Pintx for a first board? Heard XR is better for first timers, but the Pintx just seems to be a safer and more mobile, also would need to tinker with it less.
Hi Phillip yes I definitely would for a couple of reasons. For safety, the Pint X has stronger push back than the XR and sometimes you could actually miss it on the XR and get caught in a nosedive situation. It's pretty much impossible to miss pushback on a Pint X. Also, I get slightly better range on the Pint X than I did on my XR's so you probably wouldn't have the need to upgrade it anytime soon. Finally, the Pint X has the option to turn on Simple Stop which makes it easier to get off the board for beginners.
Hi Megan, it sounds like you may not have ridden before. The boards a very durable and they will last almost forever. The tire may need changing after 1,000 miles, or not, as it depends on how you ride them. If I am assuming correct that you've never ridden before, the only other variable is when you want to start riding. The Pint X is available right now, and the GT will start shipping toward the end of January so realistically you're not going to have it till sometime in mid to late February. If you are just starting off, the Pint X maybe a better choice for you because it weighs less and is easier to handle. Because it is so new like I was saying in my video, you should be able to sell it for relatively close to what you purchased it for accounting for wear and tear. One Wheels generally hold their value very well. If you really start getting into one wheeling, and you start out growing the pine tax, then you could sell it and use that money towards a more expensive GT. That's what I'm doing, I'm getting the youths out of the paint X now, and when my GT ships I will sell my Pint X. It is great but I don't need two boards.
Right to repair doesn't matter much to me as long as it's under warranty if they want to pay for shipping and all the expenses involved repairing that's fine by me. I am having an issue right now with my new GT so I have to hold off on any recommendations on it until I see how they finalize the handling of it. Why not look at the Pint X?
@@mikeintampa250 thank you!! I’ve been considering the X but the news lately with onewheel has been concerning. What are your thoughts on the company now? Has it effected your ride?
@@megannichol31 I love Future Motion and I will be doing a video on the reasons why soon. In a nutshell besides inventing products that have brought joy and life-changing experiences to thousands of people, including me, they have always been there for me on the rare occasion that something goes wrong. They quickly repaired a lighting tissue on my XR, and they promptly repaired the ghosting issue on my new GT. I just got it back this week and it works great. FM backs up its products. There are number of RUclipsrs out there like to spew hate and I think a lot of them do it for clicks. But FM has always been there for me. In addition, they have gone above and beyond to make sure that I am happy with their products and they always communicate with riders I'm social media. I have seen law firms try to solicit clients to sue them and I am sure they are aware they are a target to that sort of thing and they have to protect themselves. In my opinion it is a great company.
I was thinking about buying a GT. I've never ridden one before and never could skateboard but I have really good balance and have been snowboarding... How difficult is it to learn?
Pretty easy, I wasn't a boarder either. I learned for 1 hour 2 nights after work on the grass and then I felt confident enough to go on to the road and took off from there. The main thing is just learning the steps needed to stop and get off it and then in reverse how to get on it and go. Pretty easy, just gear up.
@@mikeintampa250 Thank you for sharing! It looks so fun and definitely something that would help me get out and about again! Appreciate your response again!
@@dt58kc I started riding 4 years ago and never looked back. It opens your whole world up to what you could do and new people to meet. It's a very cool and fun scene. Good luck!
@@purplecello1048 I have 3,000 miles on XR's but the Pint X feels great too, it's just a different feeling. Will be back to bigger foot pads on the GT.
So I have gotten my Pint X but I don't like how rounded the tire is. Too squirrely for my taste as a beginner. I even dropped the PSI down to 15 and still not liking it. I really like the profile of the XR tire. Is more flat(square) and less rounded and seems more stable. So I was wondering, is there a tire like that available for the Pint X? Thanx Mike. What's your opinion
It felt squirrely at first for me too compared to the stock XR tire but after a couple of weeks of riding on it I became used to it and it doesn't feel that way anymore to me. I don't really know about all the Pint tires out there as I believe the Pint tires fit the Pint X. However, Scot Mendenhall's channel has many Pint tire changes on it and you might find a better tire for you there.
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Appreciate the feedback. I've only ridden it a couple times so far. I'll give it more of chance. It just seems like you have to pay attention to much to keeping straight and level. But like you said, takes time to get used to it I guess. I do notice in your video that it seems smooth for you and you're talking, holding a selfie stick no problem. Oh, I saw your crash video. Glad you're ok bro.
@@theone2be33 thanks much! One other thing that helped with stability on the Pint X was changing the digital shaping in the app to Pacific. I recommend experimenting with the different digital shapings as one of them might make it feel more stable for you too.
Hey Mike. So I ordered a GT and according to the tracking its not shipping until March 8. Subject to change. I thought shipping was in January. Curious to know if you're getting the same shipping date?
No, mine said shipping toward the end of January. I have had my order in before you and they ship them out as they get the orders in, and they don't begin shipping any of the orders until the middle of January. The Pint X's are available now but we have to wait on the GT's. That's pretty much what my video is about, I ordered a Pint X to ride until the GT shipped and then I will be selling my Pint X. I am confident the Pint X will hold most of its value and I will be able to ride it until the GT arrives. In other words it will be close to a wash on the Pint X.
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Appreciate it. Is what I figured. Well I will be watching for your unboxing video of the GT. But then again I might not watch any of those. Cause I did that with the Pint X and when I finally got mine it didn't seem as amazing. Anyways, I'm in March which right now is getting colder up here in the Northeast so by time I get my GT it'll be warming up again. Happy GT New Year!!! Gonna put on some serious miles. You think you'll do a 32 mile onewheel ride??
I absolutely will be doing a 32-mile GT ride. The other day I did a 59 mile EUC ride so it should be fun. If you don't like the Pint X you could always sell it and get most of your money back.
@@theone2be33 yes, I predicted that they were obsoleting the XR, and now there will be a glut of used XR's on the market beginning middle to late January when everyone starts dumping them when the GT's start shipping. To make matters worse, I believe FM was selling them new for 1499 until I believe they sold out. So how much do you think a used XR will fetch given that new ones were selling for that low. That's why I'm glad I sold mine when I did.
Tampa rox! It took me one hour after work for two nights in a park on grass and then I was riding on the street. Of course I learned more every day since then, but that's how long it took me to really get going.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. This is the best review I have watched on the pint X. I usually don't go faster than 16 mph so the pint X would be a upgrade for me as well. Since it's lighter ans will give me better range than my XR. For the 1st time I am considering selling my 4209 XR.
Thanks, just wanted to tell you about two months later and I still enjoy the Pint X. It is definitely going to at least carry me through to when the GT arrives and I may end up keeping it too. It is giving me more range than the XR did and feels torquier.
XR is far from obsolete. Tell me, can you mod either of those two boards (Pint X and GT) without it bricking? Do you really own the board? Do you have the option in the future to mod it or replace the battery yourself if you have to? Can you do a VESC mod on the two boards mentioned? I can unplug the battery in my XR and swap in a CBXR and it won’t brick! And the VESC has such low end torque and customizability the GT would blush!
Mike, very curious, now that you have the GT and have rode both, if the GT did not have all the issues it currently has do you still think the GT is that much better than the pintX for the extra $1k?
Hi, difficult to say. I went on only one ride on my GT4 14 miles and I had an issue with the board, it is back at Future Motion being resolved so it probably wouldn't be fair to opine too much at this point. But I will say that the increase in power was very noticeable and I had to put it on a conservative shaping in the beginning. It will be a blast to ride again when I get it back from FM. Luckily I didn't sell my Pint X yet and so I've been riding it and it is still just as fun. Based on my limited experience with the GT I really don't feel it's worth the extra thousand however that might drastically change when I get my repaired GT back
@@mikeintampa250 very interesting. Ive rode 2 Gts and I really love them but unless I had a ton of extra money laying around I really think what you get for your money with the pintX is a better deal. Especially for an entry rider.
My XR gets horrible range. by 5 miles in I'm at 50 percent...Cant wait for my GT, i need the extra torque... Great Vid.... The XR is still faster than the PintX and better for off roading, it's a bigger board. I'm a 6'1 220lb guy, there's no way i could ride a pint lol.
Hi Joe, I don't know why you're only getting 10 miles on the XR, you should be getting 16ish. I recently lost some weight, but my usual riding weight was 205 and I'm 6-foot even and I was always getting 16 on my XR. Are you going by that rule of thumb that says 1 psi for every 10 lb of bodyweight? Btw the Pint X feels way more torquey than the XR did to me. For example, going up certain grassy hills you could feel the engine straining on the XR, but the Pint X goes right up no problem. The agility of the pipe mixed with the power of the XR is a cool combination. I can't wait for the GT too. It's going to be great!
@@mikeintampa250 Right out the box, my XR has been subpar with mileage. I live in a hilly area, and i almost always wear a back pack with some extras. So i think that may have something to do with my mileage. I bet the PintX is quicker off the line than the XR also. But; I have a sized 12 foot and perfer the bigger board than the pint size. i dont like riding with my feet hanging off the board (pint)...I guess it's all on what youre looking for as a rider. I like to cruise at speeds from 18- 20 mph, the XR allows me to do that. You mentioned that you like to cruise at 15, and that you get pushback at 17mph So it makes sense that you prefer the PintX . push back at 17 for me would be disappointing. 😊
@@one_point21_gigawatts Just out of curiosity, do you leave the XR plugged in? I ask as my pint began losing range and it became just unbearable. I then found out that you need to leave them plugged in at times for 24-48 hours straight to "Balance" the batteries. I left mine in and damn if I wasn't back to over 10 miles on my pint when it had degraded to 6. Now if I'm not riding, it remains plugged in. Hope that helps.
I noticed a lightly used XR going for $1,825 yesterday. I think people like the XR, maybe better than the GT. If the XR was new in box, I think it would get more than the GT or as much. It might have been better all around than the GT.
One with lots of extras literally just went on sale for $1,200 here in Tampa after being reduced from $1,400 as it wasn't selling. Believe me I have nothing against the XR and I've owned two new ones. At first there were a lot of negative comments about the GT but now there's more positives than negatives and people are starting to dump their XR's. Some will always hold it near and dear to their heart and there's nothing wrong with that.
Future Motion is currently getting a ton of negative press via their move towards anti-right to repair with the GT & Pint X. I had the OG Onewheel from the Kickstarter campaign & I didn’t want to get the GT or the Pint X due the FM’s changes to these products & the warranty. I want to be able to do things like replace my battery without having to send it back to Future Motion. I think a lot of people are coming to this realization & are starting to snap up used XRs. This is actually driving the XR prices up in the secondary market as people start to realize that they’re not going to be able to service the GT or Pint X & are at the mercy of a company that no longer seems concerned with the community created around their products. Be sure to check distributors, right after I bought a used XR on eBay, I found that a local motorsports dealer actually has the XR in stock still.
Hey Mike, I'm sure you got the Email from Future Motion yesterday. My ship date got pushed back again. Was wondering what your status was since you're one of the first to order?
Yes, I got the email too, mine got pushed back (excuse the pun) to February 7th but I heard of people still with shipping dates in January. Hopefully yours will ship soon. Luckily I bought that Pint X to keep me going in the meantime and I am having a lot of fun on it.
Wow, after getting bumped back to February 7th yesterday, I just checked on my GT again today and now I'm bumped back to March 9th. If you haven't checked in the last several hours you might want to check again.
@@mikeintampa250 that's crazy. I'm at the end of March which is ok cause I'm in the Northeast so weather is way too cold right now! But you being in FLA I know you're in perfect weather for it. Well as it says ship dates are subject to change so hopefully they will be able to start production soon and start shipping away! I'm just curious to know how MANY people have pre-ordered the GT's? How much money is tied up! Fingers crossed
@@mikeintampa250 yeah. Is what it says on the website as well. "Shipping starting in March." Don't know what the feeling I have for this GT as I am so new to this sport. I've never even heard of a onewheel until I saw a commercial on TV a few months ago. And then I actually saw someone riding one. I guess I'm feeling like waiting for Xmas all over again except this time I actually get a present. Albeit from myself to myself. Lol. Hopefully they will ship out to EVERYONE that's ordered one. I CANNOT WAIT! The Pint X is very fun to ride. I don't think I could ever part with it.
i actually did the exact same thing. ordered the GT + the pint X. not gonna sell the pint X though, definitely keeping it. i love how light it is. it's easier to grab that and get groceries or food & hang around town. the XR was really nice but sometimes it just felt like overkill to go to the supermarket with. the GT is gonna be even worse to lug around/carry. i actually had a pint/xr combo and loved it for that reason. super glad i kept em bone stock. always nice to have an extra onewheel for a friend too and now with the Pint X + GT combo you'll never have range anxiety. i already sold both my pint and XR and just rocking the pint X until the GT comes in. it's cold where i'm at so i won't be riding as much anyway but dope video!
I agree with everything you said and this Pint X is really growing on me with its agility and power. I'll probably end up keeping it too along with the GT, LOL
@@Lurch685 as I mentioned in the video, I purchased the Pint X so I could sell it and keep more money to put toward my GT once it ships. Selling the old to buy the new.
@@Lurch685 klarna believe it or not 😅, plus I'm single and my car is from 1997, paid $3k for it over 3 years ago. I'm generally pretty frugal everywhere else in life so I don't mind splurging on these a bit. I also sold my XR + my pint. Got my pint second hand for $700 and sold it for $720. The XR sold for $1300 for after fees. So it's not that bad in my head
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Watching your video and a couple others was the deciding factor in purchasing the Pint X over the XR and not waiting for the GT at the end of January to ship. Thanx again. Oh, btw, what part of FLA are you in? I have a friend down there that would love those trails.
I just sold an xr for a pint x. Thanks for your honest video. I believe the Pint x is better than the xr as well. More nimble, easier to transport, better finish, it has simple stop, which I believe is huge with people around or kids. Thanks for reinforcing that I made the right decision.
Congratulations and you have a lot of fun ahead of you with the Pint X. It also feels more torquey than the XR and has funner ride to me. I agree with you on all the positive aspects of the pint X. I thought I was going to sell it when the GT arrived, but I've been unable to part with it, LOL
Hi, it is a wrist mirror. I use it when I ride EUC's but it also works great with Onewheels she don't have to turn around to see what's behind you around the side, especially when watching out for cars. I got it for 10 bucks on Amazon
dinosaur wannabes 😂 great vid Mike! I'm really thinking of getting one myself to ride around town (mostly suburbs). Love seeing the different types of ground that you show
I am getting the GT too. I anticipate to have better turning than the XR with its new tire and its shape reminds me of some of the Float Life's rails I think it's going to handle very well.
When talking about holding value in this video you say the pint x will hold its value better than the XRs, which I understand. But you also say "especially the newer XRS". May I ask: Why do the newer XRS not hold their value as much than the older ones? Love the video!
Thanks Alden, I believe what I meant is that if you just bought an XR and you are going to be buying a GT, you not going to be able to get all of the use out of it and enjoyment out of it in that short period of time that maybe somebody that bought one 2 years ago did and yet you're going to have to sell it for a low price because of the glut of XR's on the market. In addition I also meant some of the older XR's command a higher resale price because they can have their batteries modded unlike the newer XR's.
You have plenty of time, my GT isn't shipping till the end of January and so I think most people are going to get it sometime in February. Maybe you should follow my plan in this video and sell the Pint X right before your GT arrives if you do order one and just use the Pint X money for that. It should hold its value very well since it is next-gen.
Hi Mike! Great Channel! I’m thinking of upgrading to a pint X, and then later to a GT. I bought a pint during Covid, and I swear it’s saved me from tons of depression that I had been in for over 5 years. I ride it every day since March, and I’m just over 1300 miles. This is a great hobby for middle-age folks like ourselves. I am 54, and having the time of my life!
Hi Rutger, I'm about your age and experience the same thing. It's a great way for you to get out and enjoy life. As you have probably seen I also go on group rides with people of all ages. It's a challenge and fun too, and it's great doing something different from the mainstream. I've had XR's and I've had the OG pint and I encourage you to do what I did and get the Pint X until the GT arrives. It'll open up a whole new world of riding for you while you are waiting on the GT, and sell the OG pint now to make up some the cost of the Pint X. Say goodbye to range anxiety. :)
I have a similar story. I started longboarding during the pandemic, then went to electric skateboards, and then to the OW. Life changing!
I’m 45 and just bought a Pint X. I’ve had an electric skateboard for a few years but hoping the one wheel gives me a smoother ride and opens up some additional terrain!
Congrats, it definitely will. You'll be able to roll over things you never thought you could have.
Duuuuude! How can you not like this guy????? Dadbod? Check. Old? Check. Belt cellphone holster? Check! My hero!
ROFL Thanks!
Really appreciate your straight forward, no-hype tone. Great overview.
Thank you!
Just got my first OW pint X yesterday and freaking love it. It’s like a skateboard but 100000 times more fun. 38yo here. Also my 6 yo tried it with me holding him and he liked it a lot too.
Excellent, it is a life-changing experience. The Pint X is full of power. One word of advice, if not wearing one already, wear a helmet and wrist pads.
@@mikeintampa250 Thanks. Got the helmet and still have all my safety gear from rollerblading times.
@@WhiteWi Lol, I use my old-school Rollerblade brand wrist guards
36yo here and just got my first Onewheel pint x. Great fun but deffo need to invest in a helmet and wrist pads.
Yes definitely, and congratulations!
Glad you like it Mike!!
Torquey Pocket Rocket. It's a blast!
just ordered my pint X. Stoked!
@@walkerdarin2003 Congrats! Little pocket rocket will keep you going for a while.
Cool video Mike...I just got a Pint X for my 67th birthday last week, and am really enjoying it, my legs were sure sore after that first ride and landing on my butt a couple times, but I can tell it's gonna be great fun for me. Out to saver the experience, not the intensity...and I have seen a couple XRs' on craigslist. I live in Pensacola. Have fun Man!!
Congratulations Jesse! Your life is about to change. Falling in the beginning is natural its good to have some gear like a helmet and wrist pads for that eventuality. Centuries ago Ponce de Leon searched Florida for the Fountain of Youth, and some say it is in St Augustine, but you just discovered it!
That is so awesome man. I'd love to see legends like you cruising around my city.
I live in Panama City! Just got a Pint X and freaking am in love! You ride with anyone else over there?
There's hope for me!! I'm 57, and I'm seriously looking at the Pint X. What more, my wife totally backs me. Still hate the price.
Wow, that looks like a great place to ride, so many paths and so few people on them!
Thanks, it is, I believe we have about 25 miles of paths & trails out here
Also sold my XR and got a pint x. Love it, the only thing I regret for myself is the larger footpads on the XR were nicer for me. I feel a little more unstable with the stock Pint X gear. I swapped the back pad for an Extended curved OneTail and now it feels much more like the XR was.
That's a great idea, I thought I saw one of The Float Life pads extended it for like a half an inch. I was just so surprised the how agile it is and it has a lot of power, so it's a great combination.
Mike I did the same thing, ordered the GT and sold my XR 30 mins after future motion announcing the GT. I thought I could wait but broke down and bought the yellow pint x two days later and I love it. Can’t wait for the GT but happy to have something to ride. Might keep the pint x as well.
LOL that's exactly what I did. I couldn't hold out that long without a Onewheel and I had to buy another one and with everybody selling their XR'd, I felt the Pint X would hold its value better. Now it's growing on me so much it may be hard for me to let go.
I thought I could hold out, so I missed the yellow, and ended up getting the blue later on, LOL
@@mikeintampa250 bro why you sold your xr for the pint x the xr is still way better 😂
Hi, I sold the XR because I was getting the GT and I thought I could wait a couple of months without a Onewheel but I found out I can't go without a Onewheel even for for two weeks, lol. So because the Pint X is a new product and it goes just as far as not farther than an XR, I felt it would hold its value more when it comes time to sell it when the GT arrives versus a new XR.
@@mikeintampa250 only thing is they are phasing the xr out now and once it’s gone it’s gonna basically become a collectors item and they did a huge sale on the xr they made it 1500
I was torn between XR and pint X when it came to off-road, I just have some small trail systems around my place, and this video sold me on the pint x for sure. I'm drawn to that one more anyway. Thanks! I like nimble hehe.
Good choice, it is definitely nimble.
I'm a guy who has been riding dirtbikes and dualsports my whole life. I decided to get a pint x and I'm loving it. The combo of the pint x with my crf250 is amazing there is absolutely nowere I can't go
Very cool!
Never had a one wheel. Looking to get the Pint X. Can't yet pull the trigger at 1400. Informative video.
Hi Robert, maybe someone in your community is selling one slightly used for less $.
I've been an XR and Pint owner for years. Sold them last year and bought a Pint X for my son last week and I've been riding it while I wait for my GT. So far, I'm impressed with the upgrades!
Yes, me too, it's a great board. I may even keep it after the GT arrives because it's so fun.
I have a Pint and am planning on getting a GT or GTS. Pint will be a keep for sure due to airplane access, amazing little board
I subsequently got the GT which was great and now I have the GTS which I think is even greater
@@mikeintampa250I'm sure you've heard this but 100% get a drop in k7t to vesc your gt, it's more everything than the gts except price. Respectfully
Great Video!!! I am your 200th Subscriber!😊
If I could give three hearts I would! Thank you so much for subbing and liking my video!
I'm glad I don't feel like I'm the only older guy (in my 40s) who rides a one wheel. I get many comments from peers saying "You're too old to ride that thing."
Most of my friends that ride are older than that as they can afford it, lol. Great way to keep yourself looking and feeling young!
Hi, i bought my first onewheel in last august and i was 53 years old and now getting 54 , i ordered the GT. Age is in the mond, i love it and maken me feel young again. Hope to float till i am 70 😂
2 drawbacks for pint fixed with X version: range and speed. Still it's a smaller board and riding it feels different. XR still much more comfortable for me and I wouldn't exchange it for a pint X but definitely it's a valid option now.
Hi, my point wasn't trying to necessarily make the argument that the Pint X is way better than the XR. What I was trying to say is that most people with XR's that I know including me either sold or are selling them to get the GT and there's going to be a glut of XR's on the market so I figured sell now and get a better price for it than I would in a month or two and the next-gen Pint X should hold its value better than the XR and then sell it when the GT ships. But having the Pint X now instead of the XR, i find it to be very fun board, very agile and it has the same power that the XR did.
I want to onewheel in FL so bad! I lived in Jax for a few years before I owned a Pint, but ended up back in Columbus. The days are already getting into the 30's and you really have to push yourself to ride. I need that GT to arrive yesterday! I'll bet I'm going to feel superhuman going from Pint to GT. (never rode an XR)
Hi Stu, yes you will feel superhuman! It was almost that feeling going from the OG pint to the XR. If you lived in Jacksonville, you know that Florida gets cold too but just not as bad as where you are. Obviously the great thing about living down here is you could ride relatively comfortably all year round, although it was in the sixties yesterday, lol.
what a great place to ride! glad you're enjoying your wheel!
Thanks Zen, I've been taking it on shorter rides when I don't feel like gearing up for my EUC.
Got a pint 5 weeks ago hurt my feet boards too small, got a xr last week ride way more and feet don't hurt any more
@@Lifelivenaged wait till you try a GT or GTS you're going to love them too. Happy you're enjoying your ride!
I plan on buying a GT-S at some point, maybe a Pint-X, as well...but I'll never get rid of my XR. I love it too much. Plus, it's good to have if someone wants to learn, or ride along.
@@romantrotta4192 after I made this video I eventually sold the X bought a GT, sold that and then bought a GTS. If I was going to have a spare board laying around I would make it the GT as I think it is much more safer than the XR due to its increased power torque and headroom. I know these cost a lot of money though.
@mikeintampa250 Yeah, they are pricey, that's for sure. I'm completely aware of the limitations of the XR, but I usually don't push it too hard...I usually just leisurely cruise around...it clears my head. I have family in Tarpon Springs, they tell me they dodged a bullet with that last hurricane. Another storm coming...stay safe.
@@romantrotta4192 thanks much, that's how I ride to just for pleasure and it clears my mind as well. I hope your family made it through Helene okay, this one is taking a direct aim at us though so they may want to evacuate sooner rather than later given Tarpon Springs low sea level. All my best.
@mikeintampa250 The predicted path looks pretty scary. They will evacuate when it's recommended....I'm the knucklehead that would insist on staying, (luckily I'm on my boat in Maryland). My best to you, as well. Good luck.
Saw your vid and thought that had to be FishHwk... i remember going there and thinking how great it would be to ride the OW there... it's lowkey one of the reasons I might move there (that, and the insane home prices here on the other side of the peninsula: Weston).
Yes you are right, plenty of places to ride around here. In addition to that, near 2 larger cities that have great group rides each week.
I've not owned an XR but I have been on a friend's XR a few times but I went for the pint X, i personally think they are completely different boards, for me the pint X is a street board and the XR is a trail board, I took my pint X to the same place I tried the XR at and it didn't handle no where near as well as the XR on the trails (maybe a treaded tire would help) but on the tarmac track it was much better then the XR, carving is effortless on the pint X, I might get the GT once the issues have been ironed out, more so for the range then speed, I got just over 20 miles on the pint X with 17% battery left on flat tarmac track, didnt want to stop tho so the GT's range is what I'd like from it.
Also it would be cool if you could turn the lights off from the app to save a little power, although it may be negligible 🤷
Glad to hear that you are enjoying it! I believe the GT issues have been ironed out, I know mine was corrected, and it is awesome.
😂 I did the same thing when the PintX came out. I made my XR a float life growler and loved the maneuverability. PintX way better.
Nice! I still have my OG pint that my son has claimed. I need to install the quart mod I bought soon so he gets that increased range. I recieved it just before FM announced the pint x. I'm holding onto my XR as well as I think they will still be key in the used market of the Onewheel ecosystem. Plus an extra board to share the stoke is a good thing I think. Glad you're enjoying the pint x can't wait for the GT! ➖☠️➖🤙🤙
Thanks Mickey, I'm already starting to see people sell their used XR's here and I am guessing that there will be a glut of them toward the end of January beginning of February when the GT ships. Getting on the Pint X brought back old memories of the OG Pint, but without the range anxiety. How much range are you anticipating with the Quart?
Hey I live in New Port Richey and just ordered my first one-wheel the GT. I thought it would be a fun thing to use while I full time travel this coming year. I am 48 and just really want something to get out and do something again. I really enjoy your video of this ride. If I get good enough quick enough maybe we could meet up for a ride.
You should go to the group rides on Tuesday night in downtown Tampa or Thursday night in downtown St Pete because there are riders of all experience levels and all are welcome.
Thanks for your comment by the way. The Onewheel will definitely get you out and about and you'll get to explore places that you've never been.
@@mikeintampa250 Thanks once it comes in I will. I already got my helmet, and wrist guards.

Hahaha, i love the part where you said "that's me on a pint x"..... ROCK'N IT MAN!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks dude, it felt so good to be back on a Onewheel after 2 weeks without one. I never thought I'd ever be back on a Pint again after owning one (and quickly getting rid of it) early on, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I been watching so many videos for the past week to push me to buy my first one wheel. I think the pint x suits me. It looks like fun but I don't get out much, I'm an introvert and I'd hate to spend that much money on something I could potentially end up not using much. I'm 35 and the only thing I know how to ride is a bike 😁
What you might want to do is buy a Pint X instead of a GT, learn to ride, see if you like it, and if you do, sell your Pint X and buy a GT. If you don't like it, sell your Pint X you should get most of your money back as it's a brand new model and it should be holding its value very well.
Hey man - I'm 47 and I've had my Pint X for a week. I had zero experience with skateboards, snowboards, etc, so it was a completely new experience for me. After 3-4 days I was very comfortable on it and I get excited to ride it every day. It's relaxing and exciting at the same time, and always puts me in a great mood. I would be surprised if you "didn't use it much." Just be patient with yourself when you're learning. I say go for it!
@@JBonham1980 Nice, this is the sorta comment I wanted to see. I'm 41 and getting one soon. Can't wait!
@@budyutube It's a game changer man. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 10 and this summer I came to the realization that I just wasn't getting the same thrill I used to. I sold my bike and picked up a Pint X. Best decision ever. Fun to learn and more of a thrill than I've felt in years.
@@JBonham1980 Even better! My wife has been massively against me getting a motorcycle so I actually thought this could be another way for thrills and fun. Perfect you bought that up, now I'm super convinced and can't wait!! Thank you!
Thanks for the review
Thanks much! I am still enjoying it and it will carry me through my GT issues.
Thanks for the vid. I ordered the pintX to ride until the GT comes out and I hear some feedback on it.
Congrats! I am so glad I have my Pint X, because the GT keeps on getting pushed back further and further now with a March date.
@@mikeintampa250 Yes exactly! And I would like to see real world feedback and see if there are bugs. I think it is going to be good tho.
@@keithy4129 I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing, and that they could do even more, but they hold themselves back for legal reasons. Over the years I've owned 4 Onewheels so far, all brand new and they've always been great never had a problem. Very good quality.
I’m really hoping I can get the pint x that looks like so so much fun it’s insane
Almost too fun, lol. I hope you get it!
mike right now the pint x is 1400 and xr is 1500 for the blackfriday sale what do you suggest i get now?
Hi Tony, yes, Future Motion temporarily reduced it for their Black Friday sale. This is further proof to me that they are dumping their XR's as they are obsoleted by the next-gen boards. I still stand by what my point was in the video, that because there is going to be a glut in the market of used XR's due to everyone dumping them to get GT's, I still believe that Pint X will hold its value better than an XR. If that aspect of XR ownership doesn't matter to you, and if you feel more comfortable on an XR then go for it.
no need for range anxiety with a battery mod. . I have a pint. .replaced the original battery with 21700. Now I can can go 18+ miles of range. I also added another extra battery using Lifepo4, 18s. each is 6000MAH. Now I can go over 30 miles with my pint with the added extra LIfepo4 battery. Although after 15 miles or so, it gets tiring and no longer have the onewheel pint fun factor. We should be able to mod the new pint X. .
Can I update my pint same way as you if the hardware is : 5314 and Gemini 5059.
I heard that there is no chance with my pint
Thinking about getting a One Wheel. It’s going to be my first one and I’ve never ridden one before. Should I go with the Pint X or GT? I’m 210 lb with US size 11 shoes. What would you recommend?
First of all that's awesome that you're thinking about getting one. Whichever one you choose it's going to change your life. A couple things to think about, if you get the Pint X it will not set you back as much as a GT would and if you decide Onewheeling isn't for you you'll be able to sell it and get most of your money back. If you decide it is for you you could always sell it and get most of your money back and use that money towards a GT. The GT is a lot more powerful than the X and it therefore may be more difficult to learn at first because you have to learn how to contain the power. On the other hand you're a size 11 shoe and so the foot pads on the GT are wider and may be more comfortable for you. That comfort may lead you to like the Onewheel even more. I am about your weight and so I appreciate the extra power of the GT getting me through areas that the X might have difficulty doing. Therefore because of your weight in the size of your foot I will recommend the GT to you.
@@mikeintampa250 thanks for the thoughtful answer. I’ll definitely consider what you have said.
Great video Mike! I ride electric skateboards here in New Zealand, sometimes I like to watch one wheel videos, might even buy one myself one day.
Thank you Chris, I truly hope you get one one day as it will likely be a life-changing experience, as it was for me and many others. From what I've seen of New Zealand you have some great terrain to ride on too. Merry Christmas!
Great video Mike. Hopefully I get test ride a Onewheel one day. Stay safe out there Buddy.
Hey man thank you, and I hope you get to try it someday too. Most of the guys down here that I know that ride EUC's also either have ridden Onewheels or still do and it's great being part of both communities. I know the weather is getting much colder where you are, and it looks like you are gaming more. Maybe we'll play together soon.
@@mikeintampa250 The temperature has dropped but I'm still riding. I was riding in NYC and my ride footage was total
garbage 😂🤣 I don't want to subject any viewers to my awful footage 🤣 as long as there's no snow on the ground I'm gonna ride. I have to make up for lost time.
@@senseivegan any riding footage is good footage, lol.
I should have my XR very soon onewheel I believe is good for the soul
Congratulations, yes it is!
Go Mike, GO!
Thanks Jimmy, got to keep moving! :)
I’ve been torn on wanting to get a Pint X or saving up more for a GT later on. I think the Pint X would be good enough for me as far as range, fun and power though.
Hi Alan, if the XR would have been good enough for you power and range wise the Pint X will too, but for $400 less with a more finished look. However, if you really want to take it to the next level the GT would be the way to go for $400 more than the XR. The point I was trying to make in my video is there's a way to do both and sell the Pint X when your GT ships as I firmly believe that the Pint X will hold its value more than the XR because it is nextgen and so new.
Get both
First. You have some great terrain to ride! I got my Pint X a few days after it launched. I am new to OneWheel. I love my Pint X! It is so carvy and nimble. Granted I can't compare it to the XR. I take it on trails no problem. You made me laugh. "I never ride it in the rain". I live in the Pacific Northwest. I ride in the rain all the time! Mine is currently pretty muddy :). Float on man!
So glad you are liking the Pint X. It doesn't sound like you have much to compare it to, but I once owned the regular Pint and the first few miles were great but the ride was always dominated with range anxiety and plotting where I can get a charge, which took away from a lot of the fun. I think the most I ever got out of it was 9 miles and I had to endure the embarrassment of trying to ride with my XR friends and then having to wait for me to charge up somewhere where I could sneak a charge. XR's were great in that it gave me up to 16 miles of range. However the XR looks like it was made in someone's garage although you could spend a lot of money modding it to make it look like your own. It is a clunky beautiful beast. I have 3000 miles on a XR's and they are a blast to ride, not hating on them. I would have had 6,000 miles on XR's if I didn't also ride EUC's. The Pint X takes the best quality of the XR, which is its greater battery size for extended range and speed and torque and puts it into a smaller more refined package. I don't ride in the rain, but it sounds like you have no choice, lol. I am glad it is holding up well in the rain, and I believe the GT that is coming out will be even more water resistant. Maybe then I will ride in the rain, lol. I'm not trying to preach to anyone but if you're riding in a lot of mud obviously get a fender if you don't already. The previous nimbleness of the Pint compared with its Newfound power makes it such a blast to ride!
@@mikeintampa250 I have tried a friend's XR for a few minutes. Not much to compare to, but I didn't like how big it felt. I have a fender. I also got a Fangs v2 front bumper with the wheels. It saved me from a nosedive yesterday. Went down a ramp from sidewalk to street. There was a drop at the end that I didn't anticipate. The nose hit, but because of the Fang I was able to ride it out and get the nose back up. At age 42 I really don't want to slam the ground too often. I am pretty jealous of your Florida weather this time of year. Cheers!
@@TheKrisBunch sounds like a great recovery, I am older than you I know what you mean about trying to avoid crashes. Yes, sometimes the XR does feel a bit big and clunky, it is like a tank period once you get the Pint X down, you'll eventually be ready to move on to the GTA. There's no point of moving twin XR once you have the Pint X. Same range. I am originally from New York, and I can't stand the cold and terrible weather there for most of the year. Here you get to ride all year round in relative comfort. I have at times thought of moving to the Pacific Northwest because it looks beautiful. But you are right, it is rainy and cold there a lot of the time.
@@mikeintampa250 Looks like you made the right decision to sell your XR when you did. They are now discontinued and $1400 new. Even at that price point I still feel the Pint X is a better deal.
nice footage! whats your camera/invisble stick setup?
Thanks Mike, I use an Insta360 One X with an adjustable 6-foot invisible selfie stick.
I hear same pushback but the pushback activation limit has been bumped up a couple mph. How does it feel? The pushback on that thing was way too aggressive for my taste. How do you like it?
Hi Graham, I'm experiencing push back at 17 _17 and a half mph, which is good enough for me at my weight. When the GT comes it should push back around 20 mph. The pushback is strong but I know you could go through it a little bit but I'm not going to try I don't want to nosedive. It doesn't seem to run out of power period on the road so I should get 18 miles of range because I got 16 going up a lot of hills on trails and riding at the pushback level a lot.
Hi Mike! I enjoy your channel! If you don't mind me asking, what size shoe do you wear. I am considering a Pint X, as I live in the East, but work out in the Southwest sometimes, and don't want to build a wooden box/crate, or buy a Pelican box for shipping, or take apart my XR to bring it out. I thought for a minute of buying a used pint, adding Quart (Chi), while leaving stock rails that would appear as a lower than acceptable airline acceptance, but in the end, getting to a bigger city where these used units are available will cost too much, travel expense, so I believe buying a new one with free shipping will be my best option. Another thing, I learned is weight. I wish with the original purchase of my XR, I wouldn't have added so much weight added protection. I wish I had just replace scratched parts instead of adding more plastic. I believe the bundles aren't that valuable. Cheers!
Thanks much...size 10, good fit for the XR, Pint X, and GT.
Just ordered a pint x 🎉
Congrats! You're in for a world of fun.
Good video. I can see partially where you’re coming from if you don’t upgrade boards and keep them 100% stock. Throwing on an aftermarket tire and some accessories really change the XR (If you haven’t had a chance to try one I highly recommend it). Not to mention the growler conversion or a few other things to make it more pint like. The small foot pad and the slow charging and no custom shaping options is why pint X is still cheaper.
Hi, I had 2 XR's and the first one I added a Kush footpad, Float Life grip tape, rail guards, Float Plates, Vega Yellow tire. Don't get me wrong, the XR is great and those improvements help it too. But being able to have the same range on something as agile as the Pint X blew me away.
@@mikeintampa250 you replaced your vegan with the yellow vega?! I didn't know you could even get them lol. You need to try a burris tire my man that's what making you not love your XR’s. Even a burtis over your pint tire will be night and day difference.
@@brendenbull not that I don't love the XR, I just think the Pint X is going to hold its value now more than the XR given the lower price point, it is brand new, and they are looking like they are obsoleting the XR. I am getting the GT after putting 3k miles on XR's.
Great video! How did you film it? It appears you were using some sort of drone that was following you. Also, how do you use the mirror on your wrist?
Thank you, I use the hand mirror by just lifting up my hand and I can see what's behind me. I started using it when I was riding euc's because turning around would throw me off balance. But it works on a Onewheel as well. I shot this on an insta360 One X with an invisible selfie stick.
Great Video! What camera setup are you using? I am 56 I weigh 170 lbs at 5"6" tall, and I am looking to get my first one wheel. Big question Pint-x or GT for a new bee?
Hi Brent, I replied to another post and recommended that you start with the Pint x. I shot this for the insta360 One X.
I fell on my xr when I first got it not from pushback I had a bump and It wobbled now im so nervous to go past 12 mph I ride comfortably at 10
Check out my near-death experience on a Onewheel video. It wasn't the board's fault, I hit a big crack in the sidewalk and went flying like 20 ft but after like two weeks I built my confidence back up and was riding the way I was before the mishap. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
Hey Mike great video ! I'm in Sarasota and looking to get a one wheel and I was looking at the pintX. For a first time user which would you recommend ?
Thanks much! The Pint X would be a great entryway into the world of Onewheeling. It has plenty of power and should yield you approximately 16 miles of range. I would recommend against the original Pint as it doesn't have nearly the power and range that the X has. If for some reason you do not like riding, you're not out as much money as if you bought the GT. Also the Pint X holds its value relatively well. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions as you begin your journey.
@@mikeintampa250 With all my years of snowboarding and wakeboarding I have a feeling I'm going to love it. Def not considering the original pint. Just considering the PintX and the GT. If money isn't an issue which would you recommend out of those two ? Also can the PintX be adjusted in the app/get new FW or is that tuning only for the GT?
If money isn't an issue I would go with the GT, as it has a lot more power, torque, and range and you won't grow out of it anytime soon. I sold my Pint X already so I can't tell you for sure about the custom shaping but I don't think it had it available. However, I've been Onewheeling for about 4 years now and I don't think I've ever had the need for custom shaping but that is subjective.
Great video seriously considering pint x
Thank you, like I was saying in the video no lack of power, and very fun.
Epic ride.
Nice video, it looks a great place where you took it.
Thanks Paul, I am lucky to have a lot of nice trails around here. Plus both Tampa and St Petersburg have weekly group rides that are really cool too and help you up your game.
I love my og pint, always have. The onlllyyy complaint is the range. And my gt is comin sooooon :)
Yes, the GT is going to be great. What is your current ship date? Mine just got pushed back to February 5th.
Now i see why i need one! Bad season here in Sweden at the moment though.. Cheers // floating Phil
Glad you found the video, I didn't want to push that on you, LOL. One other thing I forgot to mention to you is that two years ago I also began riding electric unicycles ("EUC''s"), and in Sweden there's a big EUC scene. As a matter of fact I got my start watching the Swedish EUC riders and one in particular was sort of my mentor.
@@mikeintampa250 No worries 😁 alright, those things looks super dangerous 😳
@@theswedishlife2333 if you don't constantly try to push the envelope they are relatively safe.
I bought a JW battery and love the og pint so much more now
That was my reaction to the Pint X, as I owned and OG Pint when they first came out. Enjoy!
Hi Mike. Like your video. I am curious to know if you've had any major falls from the onewheel that was a malfunction of the onewheel and not your own doing? Next question is, can the onewheel be completely operated independent of the onewheel app? I've read bad reviews about the app. I'm 48 and I'm thinking of buying the GT in the spring as a beginner. I know is a lot of money but I really like the new design of the board with the concave footpads and overall look. And the range is ridiculous. I'm already mapping out in my head of all the places I would use the OW. Thanx Mike. BTW, that 360 camera trick is cool. Can't even see the selfie stick. Is that part of the software or you edit that out?
Thank you. Any falls I've had have been my fault or just circumstance, never the fault of the Onewheel. I think the app is great, it keeps track of very important stats like range, mileage, and regen. You also use it to turn the lights on and off and the digital shaping of the board meaning its characteristics. It also keeps track of achievements for you, like achievements on an Xbox. But yes you can use it without the app. The selfie stick is invisible for my camera, I didn't have to edit it out.
For all the reasons Mike pointed out I also recommend using the app. If you were dead set against it for some reason, there is a way to manually select from the configured ride modes, at least with an XR. You lay the XR on its side with the power button facing up, hold down the sensor pad and turn it on. The power light will blink with a number corresponding to the linear count of which riding mode it is currently in. Touching the sensor pad advances to the next ride mode. The blink count will change to indicate your current selection. I stumbled onto this explanation on Reddit (I believe) and tested it on my XR and CBXR successfully. Even with this functionality is still bare-bones so I suggest @theone2b33 use the app. One function I use regularly is to turn my wheel's lights on and off for different scenarios.
@@mikeintampa250 Great Channel! I agree with your take on the pint x. What camera and stick do you have? Great view!
@@3guysagirlandatonoffun47 thanks much! The more I ride the Pint X the more I like it. Such agility and power in one small form factor. Depending on how the GT rides, I may just have to keep it, LOL. I use a insta360 One X camera with a 6 ft retractable invisible selfie stick. I checked Amazon and they are up to the insta360 one x 2. It looks the same but I don't know what the differences are, probably minor.
Suuh dude I rode with Mike before downtown. RUclips recommended. I got a pint x and fishtail esk8
I've been out of action for a year due to a knee operation but I just started riding again on the GTS.
@@mikeintampa250 we had a baby and I missed like 4 months of rides.
Edited road, to rode lol

Can you provide an update? Pinched wires get you yet? All good still?
Pint X was fine, then moved to a GT and then to a GTS
Caddilac vs. sportscar, thats a good comparision!
i'm about to hit it on a used XR for that reason ...
sick sold my XR for a pint-x as well. Pint-x comes today
Congrats! I've been having much fun on the Pint X. So much so I may even keep it when the GT arrives just have a different type of ride, lol.
How does the pint X do with going up 2 inch driveway curbs?
I've never tried that but I don't see why it couldn't. It's a little beast and I think it is on sale right now for like 1k.
Thank you for the response.
Hey Mike, would you recommend the Pintx for a first board? Heard XR is better for first timers, but the Pintx just seems to be a safer and more mobile, also would need to tinker with it less.
Hi Phillip yes I definitely would for a couple of reasons. For safety, the Pint X has stronger push back than the XR and sometimes you could actually miss it on the XR and get caught in a nosedive situation. It's pretty much impossible to miss pushback on a Pint X. Also, I get slightly better range on the Pint X than I did on my XR's so you probably wouldn't have the need to upgrade it anytime soon. Finally, the Pint X has the option to turn on Simple Stop which makes it easier to get off the board for beginners.
@@mikeintampa250That's great, thanks for being my deciding factor! Will be joining the one wheel club soon.
@@WhatThePheel cool, I hope so, it will change your life!
I’m trying to decide between the X and the GT- how long do these boards last? I’m trying to justify the costs. Do the tires need to be changed often?
Hi Megan, it sounds like you may not have ridden before. The boards a very durable and they will last almost forever. The tire may need changing after 1,000 miles, or not, as it depends on how you ride them. If I am assuming correct that you've never ridden before, the only other variable is when you want to start riding. The Pint X is available right now, and the GT will start shipping toward the end of January so realistically you're not going to have it till sometime in mid to late February. If you are just starting off, the Pint X maybe a better choice for you because it weighs less and is easier to handle. Because it is so new like I was saying in my video, you should be able to sell it for relatively close to what you purchased it for accounting for wear and tear. One Wheels generally hold their value very well. If you really start getting into one wheeling, and you start out growing the pine tax, then you could sell it and use that money towards a more expensive GT. That's what I'm doing, I'm getting the youths out of the paint X now, and when my GT ships I will sell my Pint X. It is great but I don't need two boards.
I'm trying to decide between used xr and gt, ghosting and right to repair are making it hard to decide
Right to repair doesn't matter much to me as long as it's under warranty if they want to pay for shipping and all the expenses involved repairing that's fine by me. I am having an issue right now with my new GT so I have to hold off on any recommendations on it until I see how they finalize the handling of it. Why not look at the Pint X?
@@mikeintampa250 thank you!! I’ve been considering the X but the news lately with onewheel has been concerning. What are your thoughts on the company now? Has it effected your ride?
@@megannichol31 I love Future Motion and I will be doing a video on the reasons why soon. In a nutshell besides inventing products that have brought joy and life-changing experiences to thousands of people, including me, they have always been there for me on the rare occasion that something goes wrong. They quickly repaired a lighting tissue on my XR, and they promptly repaired the ghosting issue on my new GT. I just got it back this week and it works great. FM backs up its products. There are number of RUclipsrs out there like to spew hate and I think a lot of them do it for clicks. But FM has always been there for me. In addition, they have gone above and beyond to make sure that I am happy with their products and they always communicate with riders I'm social media. I have seen law firms try to solicit clients to sue them and I am sure they are aware they are a target to that sort of thing and they have to protect themselves. In my opinion it is a great company.
what is the name of the trail park your riding at? your doing great
Thank you! I believe it is Fishhawk Nature Preserve.
I was thinking about buying a GT. I've never ridden one before and never could skateboard but I have really good balance and have been snowboarding... How difficult is it to learn?
Pretty easy, I wasn't a boarder either. I learned for 1 hour 2 nights after work on the grass and then I felt confident enough to go on to the road and took off from there. The main thing is just learning the steps needed to stop and get off it and then in reverse how to get on it and go. Pretty easy, just gear up.

@@mikeintampa250 do you ever wish you bought a XR or GT because of the discomfort caused by smaller pedals?
@@purplecello1048 I have 3,000 miles on XR's but the Pint X feels great too, it's just a different feeling. Will be back to bigger foot pads on the GT.
That's what my video is about, selling the XR and getting the Pint X while I'm waiting for the GT to arrive.
I have pint x and looking for XR lol but not getting rid of pint float on brother
So I have gotten my Pint X but I don't like how rounded the tire is. Too squirrely for my taste as a beginner. I even dropped the PSI down to 15 and still not liking it. I really like the profile of the XR tire. Is more flat(square) and less rounded and seems more stable. So I was wondering, is there a tire like that available for the Pint X? Thanx Mike. What's your opinion
It felt squirrely at first for me too compared to the stock XR tire but after a couple of weeks of riding on it I became used to it and it doesn't feel that way anymore to me. I don't really know about all the Pint tires out there as I believe the Pint tires fit the Pint X. However, Scot Mendenhall's channel has many Pint tire changes on it and you might find a better tire for you there.
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Appreciate the feedback. I've only ridden it a couple times so far. I'll give it more of chance. It just seems like you have to pay attention to much to keeping straight and level. But like you said, takes time to get used to it I guess. I do notice in your video that it seems smooth for you and you're talking, holding a selfie stick no problem. Oh, I saw your crash video. Glad you're ok bro.
@@theone2be33 thanks much! One other thing that helped with stability on the Pint X was changing the digital shaping in the app to Pacific. I recommend experimenting with the different digital shapings as one of them might make it feel more stable for you too.
Cool video!
Thank you, your videos are cool too!
Hey Mike. So I ordered a GT and according to the tracking its not shipping until March 8. Subject to change. I thought shipping was in January. Curious to know if you're getting the same shipping date?
No, mine said shipping toward the end of January. I have had my order in before you and they ship them out as they get the orders in, and they don't begin shipping any of the orders until the middle of January. The Pint X's are available now but we have to wait on the GT's. That's pretty much what my video is about, I ordered a Pint X to ride until the GT shipped and then I will be selling my Pint X. I am confident the Pint X will hold most of its value and I will be able to ride it until the GT arrives. In other words it will be close to a wash on the Pint X.
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Appreciate it. Is what I figured. Well I will be watching for your unboxing video of the GT. But then again I might not watch any of those. Cause I did that with the Pint X and when I finally got mine it didn't seem as amazing. Anyways, I'm in March which right now is getting colder up here in the Northeast so by time I get my GT it'll be warming up again. Happy GT New Year!!! Gonna put on some serious miles. You think you'll do a 32 mile onewheel ride??
I absolutely will be doing a 32-mile GT ride. The other day I did a 59 mile EUC ride so it should be fun. If you don't like the Pint X you could always sell it and get most of your money back.
@@mikeintampa250 Side note, FM no longer sells XR's on their website.
@@theone2be33 yes, I predicted that they were obsoleting the XR, and now there will be a glut of used XR's on the market beginning middle to late January when everyone starts dumping them when the GT's start shipping. To make matters worse, I believe FM was selling them new for 1499 until I believe they sold out. So how much do you think a used XR will fetch given that new ones were selling for that low. That's why I'm glad I sold mine when I did.
Hey Mike! Tampa here as well. What was the learning curve for the onewheel? I preordered a GT, but have a few different eskate boards.
Tampa rox! It took me one hour after work for two nights in a park on grass and then I was riding on the street. Of course I learned more every day since then, but that's how long it took me to really get going.
Also we have great group rides in downtown Tampa on Tuesday nights and downtown St Pete on Thursday nights. Riders of all levels.

Good catch! Jimmy is a great guy and I was in one of his videos on interchangeable batteries a couple years ago.
Couldn't you push high speeds with the XR? Especially with less pushback?
Seems like that is more dangerous, the Pint X obviously has strong pushback but the GT is a great middle ground.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. This is the best review I have watched on the pint X. I usually don't go faster than 16 mph so the pint X would be a upgrade for me as well. Since it's lighter ans will give me better range than my XR. For the 1st time I am considering selling my 4209 XR.
Thanks, just wanted to tell you about two months later and I still enjoy the Pint X. It is definitely going to at least carry me through to when the GT arrives and I may end up keeping it too. It is giving me more range than the XR did and feels torquier.
XR is far from obsolete.
Tell me, can you mod either of those two boards (Pint X and GT) without it bricking? Do you really own the board? Do you have the option in the future to mod it or replace the battery yourself if you have to?
Can you do a VESC mod on the two boards mentioned?
I can unplug the battery in my XR and swap in a CBXR and it won’t brick! And the VESC has such low end torque and customizability the GT would blush!
"I think I'll keep it." Yup. Me too!
Mike, very curious, now that you have the GT and have rode both, if the GT did not have all the issues it currently has do you still think the GT is that much better than the pintX for the extra $1k?
Hi, difficult to say. I went on only one ride on my GT4 14 miles and I had an issue with the board, it is back at Future Motion being resolved so it probably wouldn't be fair to opine too much at this point. But I will say that the increase in power was very noticeable and I had to put it on a conservative shaping in the beginning. It will be a blast to ride again when I get it back from FM. Luckily I didn't sell my Pint X yet and so I've been riding it and it is still just as fun. Based on my limited experience with the GT I really don't feel it's worth the extra thousand however that might drastically change when I get my repaired GT back
@@mikeintampa250 very interesting. Ive rode 2 Gts and I really love them but unless I had a ton of extra money laying around I really think what you get for your money with the pintX is a better deal. Especially for an entry rider.
My XR gets horrible range. by 5 miles in I'm at 50 percent...Cant wait for my GT, i need the extra torque... Great Vid.... The XR is still faster than the PintX and better for off roading, it's a bigger board. I'm a 6'1 220lb guy, there's no way i could ride a pint lol.
Hi Joe, I don't know why you're only getting 10 miles on the XR, you should be getting 16ish. I recently lost some weight, but my usual riding weight was 205 and I'm 6-foot even and I was always getting 16 on my XR. Are you going by that rule of thumb that says 1 psi for every 10 lb of bodyweight? Btw the Pint X feels way more torquey than the XR did to me. For example, going up certain grassy hills you could feel the engine straining on the XR, but the Pint X goes right up no problem. The agility of the pipe mixed with the power of the XR is a cool combination. I can't wait for the GT too. It's going to be great!
@@mikeintampa250 Right out the box, my XR has been subpar with mileage. I live in a hilly area, and i almost always wear a back pack with some extras. So i think that may have something to do with my mileage. I bet the PintX is quicker off the line than the XR also. But; I have a sized 12 foot and perfer the bigger board than the pint size. i dont like riding with my feet hanging off the board (pint)...I guess it's all on what youre looking for as a rider. I like to cruise at speeds from 18- 20 mph, the XR allows me to do that. You mentioned that you like to cruise at 15, and that you get pushback at 17mph So it makes sense that you prefer the PintX . push back at 17 for me would be disappointing. 😊
@@one_point21_gigawatts yes, with that size foot I would not recommend the Pint X. We will both be very happy with the GT. :)
@@one_point21_gigawatts Just out of curiosity, do you leave the XR plugged in? I ask as my pint began losing range and it became just unbearable. I then found out that you need to leave them plugged in at times for 24-48 hours straight to "Balance" the batteries. I left mine in and damn if I wasn't back to over 10 miles on my pint when it had degraded to 6. Now if I'm not riding, it remains plugged in. Hope that helps.
@@tombaker3081 Thank You I appreciate the tip! I will try that; I normally unlug and cap it once the charger hits green.
i love my pintx i recommend the high kush footpads but thats it
I have a GTS now but I miss that smaller form factor of the Pint X; it's so cool!
I noticed a lightly used XR going for $1,825 yesterday. I think people like the XR, maybe better than the GT. If the XR was new in box, I think it would get more than the GT or as much. It might have been better all around than the GT.
One with lots of extras literally just went on sale for $1,200 here in Tampa after being reduced from $1,400 as it wasn't selling. Believe me I have nothing against the XR and I've owned two new ones. At first there were a lot of negative comments about the GT but now there's more positives than negatives and people are starting to dump their XR's. Some will always hold it near and dear to their heart and there's nothing wrong with that.
Future Motion is currently getting a ton of negative press via their move towards anti-right to repair with the GT & Pint X. I had the OG Onewheel from the Kickstarter campaign & I didn’t want to get the GT or the Pint X due the FM’s changes to these products & the warranty. I want to be able to do things like replace my battery without having to send it back to Future Motion. I think a lot of people are coming to this realization & are starting to snap up used XRs. This is actually driving the XR prices up in the secondary market as people start to realize that they’re not going to be able to service the GT or Pint X & are at the mercy of a company that no longer seems concerned with the community created around their products. Be sure to check distributors, right after I bought a used XR on eBay, I found that a local motorsports dealer actually has the XR in stock still.
how much u sold ur XR and what was the mileage? looking to sell my XR
I think $1,300, can't remember the mileage but was probably around 1100 mi
@@mikeintampa250 okay thanks. i wonder if the company do trade ins.
Hey Mike, I'm sure you got the Email from Future Motion yesterday. My ship date got pushed back again. Was wondering what your status was since you're one of the first to order?
Yes, I got the email too, mine got pushed back (excuse the pun) to February 7th but I heard of people still with shipping dates in January. Hopefully yours will ship soon. Luckily I bought that Pint X to keep me going in the meantime and I am having a lot of fun on it.
Wow, after getting bumped back to February 7th yesterday, I just checked on my GT again today and now I'm bumped back to March 9th. If you haven't checked in the last several hours you might want to check again.
@@mikeintampa250 that's crazy. I'm at the end of March which is ok cause I'm in the Northeast so weather is way too cold right now! But you being in FLA I know you're in perfect weather for it. Well as it says ship dates are subject to change so hopefully they will be able to start production soon and start shipping away! I'm just curious to know how MANY people have pre-ordered the GT's? How much money is tied up! Fingers crossed
@@theone2be33 one of the guys in the riding group down here said he has a reliable source at FM that nothing is going to be shipping out before March.
@@mikeintampa250 yeah. Is what it says on the website as well. "Shipping starting in March." Don't know what the feeling I have for this GT as I am so new to this sport. I've never even heard of a onewheel until I saw a commercial on TV a few months ago. And then I actually saw someone riding one. I guess I'm feeling like waiting for Xmas all over again except this time I actually get a present. Albeit from myself to myself. Lol. Hopefully they will ship out to EVERYONE that's ordered one. I CANNOT WAIT! The Pint X is very fun to ride. I don't think I could ever part with it.
What’s the name of the trail that you were on or where is it located in Tampa thanks
Hi Pete, it's in the Fishhawk Nature Preserve at Lithia Springs Park.
Cool I’m going to take my kids there looks super cool to ride through
I don't know if the Springs part is open due to the pandemic, but they also have camping there too
Cool vid. What camera are you using?
Thanks Mark, Insta360 One X.
Thanks Mark, Insta360 One X.
i actually did the exact same thing. ordered the GT + the pint X. not gonna sell the pint X though, definitely keeping it.
i love how light it is. it's easier to grab that and get groceries or food & hang around town. the XR was really nice but sometimes it just felt like overkill to go to the supermarket with. the GT is gonna be even worse to lug around/carry.
i actually had a pint/xr combo and loved it for that reason. super glad i kept em bone stock. always nice to have an extra onewheel for a friend too and now with the Pint X + GT combo you'll never have range anxiety.
i already sold both my pint and XR and just rocking the pint X until the GT comes in. it's cold where i'm at so i won't be riding as much anyway but dope video!
I agree with everything you said and this Pint X is really growing on me with its agility and power. I'll probably end up keeping it too along with the GT, LOL
I envy folks who can afford to drop thousands of dollars on launch
@@Lurch685 as I mentioned in the video, I purchased the Pint X so I could sell it and keep more money to put toward my GT once it ships. Selling the old to buy the new.
@@Lurch685 klarna believe it or not 😅, plus I'm single and my car is from 1997, paid $3k for it over 3 years ago. I'm generally pretty frugal everywhere else in life so I don't mind splurging on these a bit.
I also sold my XR + my pint. Got my pint second hand for $700 and sold it for $720. The XR sold for $1300 for after fees. So it's not that bad in my head
For the joy it brings you that unlike anything else it's worth the splurge
So I ordered the Pint X instead of the GT. Was wondering how long of a delivery should I expect?
Mine came within a week.
@@mikeintampa250 thanx Mike. Watching your video and a couple others was the deciding factor in purchasing the Pint X over the XR and not waiting for the GT at the end of January to ship. Thanx again. Oh, btw, what part of FLA are you in? I have a friend down there that would love those trails.
@@theone2be33 congrats on the Pint X by the way! I am near Tampa, and we have a great group of riders over this way.
@@mikeintampa250 hence the name Mike in Tampa. Lol. I'm a little tired right now. And thanx again.
LOL you think you're tired now, wait till you start riding all the time.... the funnest exercise you'll ever have.
I just sold an xr for a pint x. Thanks for your honest video. I believe the Pint x is better than the xr as well. More nimble, easier to transport, better finish, it has simple stop, which I believe is huge with people around or kids. Thanks for reinforcing that I made the right decision.
Congratulations and you have a lot of fun ahead of you with the Pint X. It also feels more torquey than the XR and has funner ride to me. I agree with you on all the positive aspects of the pint X. I thought I was going to sell it when the GT arrived, but I've been unable to part with it, LOL
Hey, what's on your wrist? Is it a gps?
Hi, it is a wrist mirror. I use it when I ride EUC's but it also works great with Onewheels she don't have to turn around to see what's behind you around the side, especially when watching out for cars. I got it for 10 bucks on Amazon
dinosaur wannabes 😂 great vid Mike! I'm really thinking of getting one myself to ride around town (mostly suburbs). Love seeing the different types of ground that you show
Thanks much! Learning to ride a Onewheel is definitely a life-changing experience. Everyday trips turn into adventures. So much fun!
I have a pint but I wanna wait and try out a GT. I’m hoping it has better turning than the XR
I am getting the GT too. I anticipate to have better turning than the XR with its new tire and its shape reminds me of some of the Float Life's rails I think it's going to handle very well.
Awesome video......just about to buy two......one for me and one for the wife.We are 54 year old kids.😂
Thanks Neil, I'm with ya!
dude...what is that camera you are using to film yourself?
I didn't film myself, I had to hire a film crew to ride along with me. Kidding, Insta360 One X.
Man the gt is the best
It is great!
When talking about holding value in this video you say the pint x will hold its value better than the XRs, which I understand. But you also say "especially the newer XRS". May I ask: Why do the newer XRS not hold their value as much than the older ones?
Love the video!
Thanks Alden, I believe what I meant is that if you just bought an XR and you are going to be buying a GT, you not going to be able to get all of the use out of it and enjoyment out of it in that short period of time that maybe somebody that bought one 2 years ago did and yet you're going to have to sell it for a low price because of the glut of XR's on the market. In addition I also meant some of the older XR's command a higher resale price because they can have their batteries modded unlike the newer XR's.
Thank you
i might get a xr when they flood the market. I would love a onewheel just not the price of them
There's about to be a lot of used XR's on the market and they're going to go for cheap. Good luck!
I bought a pint x and I came from snowboarding my only regret is not getting a GT 🥺🥺
You have plenty of time, my GT isn't shipping till the end of January and so I think most people are going to get it sometime in February. Maybe you should follow my plan in this video and sell the Pint X right before your GT arrives if you do order one and just use the Pint X money for that. It should hold its value very well since it is next-gen.
@@mikeintampa250 ill prolly just keep this one and prolly wait a bit.
@@krisshreds enjoy, it is so fun!
@@mikeintampa250 thanks you too. Keep safe!
