Great video. Those of us who are dedicated Onewheel trail riders make serious upgrades to our boards which might level the playing field a bit with the mountain board. Treaded tires, WTF rails, reinforced bumpers and upgraded batteries add way more torque, range, speed and traction.
@@UNPAVEDTV Can actually be more power with certain rounder tires. Less surface area = more power to the ground. Add a softer compound to the mix and it'll eat up dirt trails.
Quality production and great analysis of the riding capabilities of each board! As a Onewheeler, I'm biased, but other ridable EVs each have their fun aspects too...and all that matters is that you're having fun!!
Aside from this being non biased and concise and obviously there's a lot of new one wheels available that are far more powerful. I found this very hilarious and refreshing. And the twerking part made me Nearly choke on my coffee
I looked this video up because I wanted to try something on the trails by my house. I clicked your video and thought its perfect because it looks just like the trails I go to. Then I realized you parked under the same tree that I do. and it actually is the trails that I planned on going to haha (Agua tibia temecula)
Amazing comparison. I've been riding my onewheel for a while now on dirt, pavement and snow but the mountain board is awesome. I would love to see a second part where you try the boards on groomed snow trails.
I was trying to decide between the two a few months back for road use and went with the eboard, mostly because the cost/performance value in terms of power speed and range. Also the familiarity with using a skateboard that you can still balance on and move with no power.
Hey i know you we´re comparing the eletric capabilities of the one wheel and the mountainboard but you should feel a regular mountainboard. Without the battery and the motors you can feel the dirt even better, try going down a small hill with it. train your slides and you´ll see the similarities to snowboarding! Hug from Portugal and the portuguese mountainboard scene!! :D
Look into hillbilly impact shorts hip and tailbone guards. I use them with my mountain board and kitesurfing kites. Way smaller than that butt pad you got.
Get a plus xr, CBXR mod (chip if required and go to a stoke shop to do it for ya if later than 4210/4144), techrails, crazy hubs axle block carriers, air pad, front grip tape, fishbones (barracudas), tfl Enduro tire, float life savers, bang bumpers, tfl bearings. It's a godsend. Also recommend badger
My first real unicycle!(first one was a cheap plastic one as a kid ru-vid.comUgkx4e2fa6x27dF7shCelntq0ZIKt4N0jELI I never learned to ride)So, this is a true learner, and for a C note, exactly what was needed. After a few weeks, I'm able to easily ride up and down the street. The Good: Solid frame. Has absorbed numerous spills through learning and still solid. Look - great looks, after 6 weeks of bashing Weight - it's really all tire, but as I fall I can easily grab the seat so it doesn't slam the ground. Size - Very adjustable. I'm 6', 33" inseam. I put it mostly up, but could go a bit higher if I needed to. The Bad: Not sure if it's out of the norm, but seat got scraped up quickly. Pedals - they are a bit uncomfortable and I can't get the right feel on my feet. But, they are solid and haven't been damaged at all as I've seen in reviews on other cycle's.- To address one comment about the seat connection not straight. Huh? Seat is on a round pole, you just turn it and it's straight. Either of the bad I expected to replace once I improved. I'd recommend to anyone else in the learning phase.
The new Onewheel GT would have killed that hill unlike the XR, and it's a lot faster as well if that matters to you. I personally don't care to go much faster than 20
Now do the comparison with an electric unicycle with suspension (or even a recent model without suspension) and get completely owned in every single category....
true (I have a Sherman OG and CPro etc) but its still fun to experience other sensations, sold my XR onewheel (also had an XR650R recently) since even the mten4 at half price is far more capable in every way, but now getting esk8 too.. :)
Great video ! Where is this trail? few few mtb tips, try and keep the shoulders as parallel to the board as much as possible, especially when jumping as the board will want to rotate if they are not. 70% body weight the the rear of the board helps traction especially when cornering. Check out Trampa’s channel for some awesome videos 😁
@@UNPAVEDTV I’ll hopefully make it up there sometime 🤟🤟 here’s a video of my recent eskate adventures! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_YrdrDkaL6A.html
I think that the Onewheel can make those tight turns because it is inherently unstable. Although this is great for turning it's not so good for cruising. The wide 4 wheel footprint of the skateboard just makes it more stable, faster and makes it easily track in a straight line.
I could slalom those bales on my trampa bro just gotta loosen the trucks and lean hard/ride wide af. You gotta close up and lower your stance a bit on that board bro. Will feel better and more balanced. What ratio and kvs did you got for?
There are cheaper, more powerful boards as well. U could save 600- instead of a GT, u could get a board that goes 35-40mph with full suspension with huge range. That's the thing about competition. It makes the product better, drives prices down. With no direct competitor, Onewheel stays crazy expensive but underpowered. For instance, an electric unicycle with GT specs only cost $850. At GT price- an electric unicycle is 50+mph capable, with full suspension.
Let's face it. It all comes down to the trail your on. Me I'm glad I choose the onewheel. However I've been on some wide open fire roads a mountain board would be awesome on
you will get better in cornering a mountainboard when you learn to drift it or hop the front around, but i guess you already know by now :D really enjoyed the video :)
I’m gonna guess that mountain boards are better in everyway. My experience on the onewheel is that the battery life SUCKS. My friends and I rode some trails in oregon and the battery’s could barely support a BASIC trail with a 1.2 mile loop. Going uphill at all completely destroys the battery life. I have not rode a Mountain board but from what I’ve seen in the videos they are far superior to the onewheel this includes the GT.
Hi Hoody, thank you for the comment. I would say its really personal preference. I love the MB because you are strapped in and can really maneuver. I like the raw power, and the battery life is WAY better. Give it a try you will love it too. That being said the One Wheel certainly has its place, I have seen some people really rip on them! Stay tuned here as we are going to release some awesome new segments on this sport soon!
O dude, my EUC woulda destroyed both of yous on those trails (& likely any trail). You guys look so slow. Get into a wheel & I guarantee you'll love it.
Man you look like your having a blast, but I’ve got to say Onewheels feel amazing and the experience is nothing like a e skate. And no offense to your friend, but he’s not the greatest Onewheeler, I could of smoked him on those trails! But still great vid.
I'm sure the bindings make you FEEL much more secured om the Mountainbord, but I've done my share of off-roading and never really wished I had those. I certainly prefer being able to jump off, rather than being able to push it a little harder, but then fall on my face / (silicone) butt.
