I sold my Onewheel XR for a Onewheel Pint X and would do it again! 

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.

ROFL Thanks!

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!

Torquey Pocket Rocket. It's a blast!

Thank you!

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.

@@walkerdarin2003 Congrats! Little pocket rocket will keep you going for a while.

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.

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.

Thanks, it is, I believe we have about 25 miles of paths & trails out here

Very cool!

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 😂

I subsequently got the GT which was great and now I have the GTS which I think is even greater

Hi Robert, maybe someone in your community is selling one slightly used for less $.

@@Lifelivenaged wait till you try a GT or GTS you're going to love them too. Happy you're enjoying your ride!

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

Yes, me too, it's a great board. I may even keep it after the GT arrives because it's so fun.

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.

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?

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.

Good choice, it is definitely nimble.

If I could give three hearts I would! Thank you so much for subbing and liking my video!

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.

Pint X was fine, then moved to a GT and then to a GTS

Thanks much...size 10, good fit for the XR, Pint X, and GT.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hi Brent, I replied to another post and recommended that you start with the Pint x. I shot this for the insta360 One X.

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.

@@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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Thank you! I believe it is Fishhawk Nature Preserve.

Seems like that is more dangerous, the Pint X obviously has strong pushback but the GT is a great middle ground.

Congratulations, yes it is!

Thanks much! I am still enjoying it and it will carry me through my GT issues.

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.

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 RU-vidrs 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.

Thanks Zen, I've been taking it on shorter rides when I don't feel like gearing up for my EUC.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Thanks Jimmy, got to keep moving! :)

Almost too fun, lol. I hope you get it!

Thanks Mike, I use an Insta360 One X with an adjustable 6-foot invisible selfie stick.

Size 10 OG Pro Keds. My feet are fine just because I've been riding for so long.

@@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

LOL you think you're tired now, wait till you start riding all the time.... the funnest exercise you'll ever have.

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.

@@mikeintampa250 awesome news! Do you have an email distribution list? I’ll email you my addy

@@Oxydado On Facebook: Tampa Float Krewe, and St. Pete Float Fleet

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.

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.

Insta360 1x

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

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.

That was my reaction to the Pint X, as I owned and OG Pint when they first came out. Enjoy!

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.

Selfie stick

Hi Martin, I am filming myself with a 360 camera. At a minimum when riding a Onewheel I always wear a helmet and wrist guards along with a wrist mirror. When I ride euc's I have the full set of gear on including elbow and forearm guards along with knee and shin guards. You could see that on some of my other videos where I'm riding an EUC.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, the GT is going to be great. What is your current ship date? Mine just got pushed back to February 5th.

Thanks Mark, Insta360 One X.

Thanks Neil, I'm with ya!

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.

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.

I have a GTS now but I miss that smaller form factor of the Pint X; it's so cool!

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

@@hozn congratulations!

Thank you, like I was saying in the video no lack of power, and very fun.

It is great!

Thank you, your videos are cool too!

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.

Good catch! Jimmy is a great guy and I was in one of his videos on interchangeable batteries a couple years ago.

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 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

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!

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.

There's about to be a lot of used XR's on the market and they're going to go for cheap. Good luck!

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.
