I'm sitting here with a broken wrist cause i didn't respect the push back. Im sorry onewheel ill do better in 4 to 6 weeks when i can ride you again. The clip gave me ptsd from it lol.
Buying the XR is the best purchase I’ve ever made. I usually get over things pretty quickly and as of yesterday I’ve owned the XR for a year and I still ride it every day!
Black ops Baker If you have the extra money for it I would definitely get it! My friend that was on the fence bought it and said wish I bought it sooner!
Hello, Onewheel original owner here. (716 miles on my board) One very important thing you forgot to mention was how to safely get off the board. From my experience with letting other people ride my onewheel, they have no problem while moving.. most beginner crashes happen when trying to get off the board. The Onewheel has a sensor on the front foot pad that you can disengage the motor by lifting your toes up. (Or heel)
I am a real fan and love my XR, but "one thing to know" you should have added, if been real honest : If you get the "need Juice" because one of the cell is done after just a few hundreds miles and you live anywhere but the US, you are screwed : Onewheel has no branch anywhere else but in the US so you'll have to wait for month, and they will ask you for money for something that should be taken under guaranty free of charge, even after one year.
Three advices that I missed: • always wear gears, even if you plan to ride very "slow and safe". • buy some railguards the very first day (you can't change your Pints rails, but you will make heavy scratches while learning how to ride) • buy a fender or be very good at avoiding water on the floor. Your shoes and pants will be a real mess if you don't 😂 And by the way, riding your OW will be in the top 3 things you love to do in your life ❤️
Here is one thing that helped me a lot when I first started riding. Have a stick in your hand so if you start riding and you lose balance and you start falling to either side you can use the stick to stabilize yourself it helped me a lot
I can see a stick being useful for mount n dismount but if you put a stick in the ground at speed it might not end well... Once you are moving it is so easy to stay balanced.. The only time i struggle with staying on is at idle.. Then the stick wld be helpful. Ie, waiting at traffic lights etc
I would strongly recommend against have a stick in your hands when riding. Good way to impel yourself. And while we're at it, don't run with scissor or a lollipop in your mouth.
It's the third year with my XR .... and I still love it!! I tried so many boards, but this is the only one I kept. So reason to try something else. Oh yes - helmet and protective gear should be part of every ride. The time will come when you will separated from you OW and hit the ground amazingly hard ;)
Cheers to 3 years riding! We have to agree, there's just nothing quite like riding wheel :) And yes, we've taken our spills too.Anything worth doing has some risk but that's the lifestyle we choose. Rather experience the world than sit on the couch!
Sinking oneself further into debt is not the answer to everything... besides who needs “onewheel” to kill boredom when you got all that overtime you need to work to pay off a new toy?
I bought my onewheel pint 3 months ago brand new. Had it for a week and sold it to my coworker to fund the purchase of my new XR because I loved it so much. What the Pint offered, I wanted more of- and that was the XR. Now both he and I have XRs and we got another coworker to buy an XR as well.... It's pretty amazing. I should get some kickback, lol
Son (*snicker), I'm 53 and just started riding with my son. If you have any board sports experience you will pick it up in minutes, if you don't, its still easy enough. Plus you can adjust the settings in the app to tone down, or tune up how the unit performs. Its so much fun, do it man. Besides its so much cooler looking than a Red Miata and leather fingerless gloves. :D
Wanted one for years and finally decided I’m going for it!!! Got my pint one week ago and if I’ve not been in work I’ve been practicing and building my confidence on my pint! Use to do aggressive in line skating for years and boards always kinda scared me. “Hurt more when you fell” However getting on this brought back those memories of how good it feels to just glide!!! And best part is everyone loves it and wants to talk to you about it! Very very proud ambassador here! If I was talking tips I could say 3 simple ones. 1) trust the board, don’t over compensate as the board will react with it and makes it a lot scarier, all about small but bold moves! 2) your going to fall but don’t be put off, hurts your ego most. I took a gorgeous slam in front of a little old lady the other day on a walking stick and she was the one helping me up 🤦🏼♂️. Don’t let it knock you as they say get right back on the “horse” board??? something like that. 3) take advantage of the ability to use all terrains. From being a skater my whole thing was I will only use it for roads. Could not be more wrong. I’ve done 80% of my practice in parks on grass to get my Balance where it needs to be! Love it. Honestly guys I can’t sell this enough, this thing is a game changer for me and as a 31 year old made me feel young again but not look like I’m trying to hard. Honestly would happily do any bits to support as a fan if needed! Thanks again all.
I really love my Onewheel. I just wish the laws here in Germany were different. Then I could ride legally on the streets/ basically everywhere. ( police probably won’t do anything if they see you riding but it still sucks that they COULD confiscate your b oard)
Do not flirt with pushback. Wear a helmet. Ride like you would a motorcycle (as if you are invisible to cars). Cars can’t see you as easily. Buy a pint it’s dope
#2 - seriously! It takes some practice to get down to natural, smooth cruising. Heel-side turns are insane - they feel like falling at first (because if you weren't on a onewheel, you would actually fall backward). And bumps/potholes/slanted pavement really mess with you. Once you get there though, movement is insanely natural and intuitive, because it's just balance. You become the onewheel.
My main concern is the lack of waterproofing. I live in the UK where it RAINS. ALL. THE. TIME. If I could be sure it wouldn’t kill my two grand board I would definitely buy one.
bred I’ve alway wanted to build my own but don’t really have any experience in the area and also wouldn’t trust my own software to keep me from nosediving
@steven I used hoverboard internals to build everything as the hoverboard is pretty good at keeping you balanced. If you want more details look up the RU-vid channel Zblab and the RU-vid channel thedirtis they have great videos detailing the process and overall reliability. It is not for the faint of heart but the end result is worth it.
@@beachbumlife It might, but it is his. He might enjoy the path to resolve. And even that the end result would not compare with OW, it would develop deeper understanding and respect for innovation that has been put into commercial product.
Another thing you SHOULD know. You are going to fall. Its part of the learning. When i rode my friends I fell on my face because i wasn't confident in myself. You HAVE to be confident or you will wobble.
Onewheel wow! Started riding on my son's pint. Practiced with a garden tool in my hand til I got it. Now I have an XR with almost 900 km's on it. Some of the best riding of my life and I've spent years snowboarding sometimes 150 days a year...fun wow! Oh and I was going to buy an electric bike for trail riding here on the Sunshine Coast of B. C. So glad to have bought this instead. They're so much cheaper :) One more thing at this point I'm at like $2 per km. Another 900 km and it'll be free riding...Oh I'm 56 yoa..
@302 Onewheel I suppose you’re right! Unfortunately I won’t be able to get this until a few years in the future, won’t need it till then, so hopefully I can get a cheaper model then. :)
It took me about 10 - 20 minutes to actually drive confidently. I rode waveboards, so I guess I had an advantage. Another dude hopped on it and basically drove all along. He has professional Longboard Experience, so there's that.
:'( I had I dream that my dad got my sister a Onewheel and she never used it for like, two years, and finally she let me use it. I was *OVER THE MOON* Then I woke up. Saddest. Dream. Ever
I love this video so much so glad I purchased one my pint is definitely the smoothest easy to learn and amazing shred machine it has taken me on so many adventures and I've gotten two of my friends to get one the fun never stops 🤙
And definitely check your local laws about electric vehicles! (Because there are ton of stupid rules in some countries *huh I'm looking at you, Germany*
I think you guys should follow through on that crazy suspension patent you have. I'm looking to upgrade from a Pint but debating whether I should wait for the next XR successor
Hello Adam! A suggestion. I've noticed that people tend to push it to the limit on this bad boy and end up facepalming the floor, which is never a good reputation, which is sad. But! You could program it to slow down /cut the speed by force so for a certain of time (5-10 secs would be enough) so it will give awareness to rider. Or shredder? Damn boi. TM that hahahaha. 2nd, if you're looking for another aproach, you could change the design on the nose part. Add like a mini wheel/roller at the end of the nose section as the cause of the fall always comes from the nose sticking to the ground which made the OneWheel stop from 100 - 0 real quick. Please do consider this Adam! This thing shreds and I'd love to own one in the future!! Love from Malaysia.
On Black Friday I caved in and bought an XR brand spanking new. Then the day after....LOL.......I hit an Astroturf EMPTY FIELD (Thanks for the lockdown) and tried my hand at just standing on it and practiced lifting my heel to dismount. Whewwww.....Step 1 first stand on the dang thing while holding on to a 4 foot fence. Step 2 step on the dang thing again another day and hold again on a fence periodically let "GOING" of the fence to see if you can balance for a while and roll from right to left. Step 3 go back another day and with part of Step 2 releasing the fence and rolling forward and backward a little further. Step 4. Come to grips with pulling the trigger on a One Wheel saying HOLY S#!&%# this is fun. Step 5. Look Mom "NO HANDS". Step 6 forget about Step 1 because " Your in it now boy!" Step 7. Credit car bill comes & SHOCK over how much you shelled out in one pop. Step 8. Always wear a helmet. Step 9. Breath.. And finally Step 10. Get that stoked look off your face, you finally got your hands on a 🌈ONE WHEEL🥳 My fender is red......
Is there a preference model based on height and weight ? Or it really doesn't matter ? I don't have the build of a man of 1.80m for 80kg but rather 1.70m for 50kg and I'm planning to travel around the world with ... The idea is to find a light and versatile motorized machine that can go on bitumen as well as irregular dirt roads, sand, etc ... possibly towards the beach, so it must hold on all land. My English is not very good so I didn't understand if it's safe to ride with it on wet ground (after or during a rain for example) If in addition I can work on the curves and it reminds me of the feeling of surfing then I would be in heaven ! In any case, it seems to combine a lot of all these criteria and it seems too great to practice !! Are there resellers in France? Europe?
some stuff u should also know and stuff i wiah i knew earlier even though i dont own one... YET...,...,.,.,.,\\\\\ 1.there are 3rd party options and accessories that are waaay better and cheeper than futer motions... 2. just get one you can sell it if for some random reason because i will buy it lolzies
The only thing that stopped me buying a Onewheel was the one off cost and the "total" lack of decent finance available in the uk .....Massive bummer to all that want one, but dont have a spare grand lying around :(
This was great. Unfortunately for pint owners we only get a top 9 although not really mentioned. UNLESS we are about to get a firmware update for custom shaping! 😂
Michael McAdams I hope we get custom shaping for the pint. It’s perfect for what I use it for and custom shaping would be the cherry on top. Till then Pacific all the way for that buttery carve.
Foot placement is huge. Saved myself lots of scrapes in my last nosedive not having all my weight towards the front. Took off too quickly and felt the nose drop out but i had fallen before so i tried to lean back and it leveled out for a second but i ended up skidding the tail before i lost balance and fell... Didnt escape scrape free but definitely lost enough speed to make it a minor accident
I want a one wheel but just don’t have the money and I was watching one of how ridicules vid and they said they were doing a giveaway but I have wanted one for a while but I wish that I will be able to get this
Just got my pint! 7 miles this evening. Damn this thing is fun. I rode around the yard on my friend's xr and pint, but nothing like going for a few miles straight. Great product! That first time hopping off after 5 or so miles, I felt like I was still moving haha.
NUMBER 11 THE ONEWHEEL XR BATTERY DIES AT 10% for the price of $1800 PLUS TaX should last till 1% that’s the biggest bummer the onewheel is fun though but dam 10%😔
I AM SO STOKED!!! I've been salivating over the One Wheel for years now and I finally was able to purchase mine!! Expected ship date is the 22nd! I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT!!! :D
You say these aren't race cars but then again you guys host race events like the RACE for the trail hmmm lol... Other than that great video I love my onewheel I ride mine everyday weather permitting.
Want a onewheel, but can’t afford one (I’m a teenager). Any chance of a onewheel giveaway (maybe RU-vid exclusive)? Btw love the content keep up the good work
Penny Hoffman i’m 15 and i bought mine entirely myself. i wanted one for years and then the pint came out, so i worked super hard and kept saving and saving. you will get there!
After watching tons of content, I have yet to see a Onewheel corporate video that adequately teaches the _physics of pushback and nosedives._ Your customers must be educated on the various aspects of electric motors as they relate to so called self *"balancing"* ...... speed, terrain, body weight, longitudinal deck angle, voltage and torque ! Don't ever cause your one wheel to run out of excess torque which is the *_currency of self balancing!_* GET "FANGS" !
One thing you should know if you're a first time rider is, yer brand-new 1700-2700(CAD) toy will get scratched to EFF while you're learning. My first 2-3 days and mine looked like hell. The onewheel is built superbly and strong as hell but the painted finish and plastic parts/mouldings gets beatup QUICKLY. .... I know it just esthetics but 1700 bucks (Pint), it's cringing the first few times you dump it.
