Thanks for watching!
Interested in seeing more from Onewheel? Check out their site: onewheel.com/
So lucky.
Give my channel a shout out.? Please?? Custom Sony psp consoles.
Are you going to review the Pint?
@@TimothyTimPSP hey, those psp's are awesome! I really loved mine. I really wish sony continued the psp/vita tech.
So I've been watching a lot of Corridor Crew. This makes sense.
Adam Savage’s Tested I luigin
The Sugar Glider lives!!! Thanks for coming by Adam and Tested crew - always a good time!
Onewheel shame you don't stand by your product.
My one question: what is the upper-most weight limit for a OneWheel board, or can you make a board to support up to 400 lbs. of rider weight?
tyre levers will help you install the tyres same as installing a car tyre, push the bottom bead on like you already do then prop a lever in between the bead and the top rim push down a bit then with the other hand push the bead down as your rotate the whole wheel on the rig, its not much faster but it'l be kinder on your arms and puts less stress on the tyre than just hulking on it.
The owner seemed genuinely like a nice guy :)
invite the corridor digital crew, especially Wren!
Wren must be jealous lol
Thats what I was thinking!
Hope Wren doesn’t see this!
I was thinking that too how funny lol
True
Lmfao I was thinking the same thing
Maybe its just me, but I really appreciate the "not an ad, but here's the situation" disclosure. Giving context for these things and just being open really makes me trust the content of the channel more. Lots of channels do an okay job of it, and sometimes saying "this is sponsored" isn't really enough.
I mean they are legally obligated to state if it's an ad. To me this is like a mutual partnership arrangement where Adam wants their product and is more than happy to make a video about it, and they are more than happy to give him the product and do the video with him. He's not just pretending to like the product, he really does like it and use it.
No they aren't... Get over yourselves
@@jakew3 Yes, yes they are it goes completely against both ASA and CMA disclosure rules (And FTC if you're American)to not disclose paid ads. "That includes family relationships and free products, as well as paid sponsorships" So Adams legally obliged to share that information.
@@jakew3 Yes they are, you absolute douche bag.
This is probably the most nicest Founder / CEO ever. This dude is just chill and genuine
tbh every CEO I've met has been pretty chill. granted it's only like 3, but still
Also stoned... dont forget 🤣
@Bill Zussman "wrong, bla bla bla", yes hello Mr iamverysmart. Most founders/ceos are cynical assholes because of those reasons. That makes it extra awesome that this guy is a chill surf dude
@Bill Zussman and you felt the need to respond.
So I guess we can all go grow up now
@Bill Zussman You seem like a sad person.
“Does XR stand for Xtreme Range?”
“Xtra Radical.”
Best. Response. Ever.
Haha stoner much XD
Well it is true though, they do advertise it as such...
Well now we know it stands for "Xterminate if Repaired"
Adam is such a big kid. That's what used to make Jamie mad. He looks like a fun guy to be around.
Who’s Jamie
@@MiniNinja258 bruh
Never heard of mythbusters? Miss that show.
Of COURSE they'll let you assemble your own, Adam. Who the hell says no to Adam Savage building something in their place?!😂👍
It's just so when it inevitably breaks they can deny his warranty claim.
Flyingpapaya Dude, he'll just fix it himself.😜
+Michael Berthelsen
He's a smart guy but you can't really fix the PCB if it breaks and the brush-less motor is proprietary
...and film it ...and put it on UA-cam.... and let it be watched by thousands of people.. 🤔
Flyingpapaya
I doubt they'd deny Adam, but for any other shmuck they might
Came to the comments expecting wren to be jealous
Lol I know coridor crew crew buddy with me
Why would you want an ARM processor on something like this? It interacts mostly with your feet, I'd have preferred a LEG processor.
ClokworkGremlin I see what you did there..
Wheelie punny
BRUH! 😂😂😂
underated comment
lol, you got me
I’d love the Onewheel a lot more if they supported “The right to repair act!!!!!”
It’s too dangerous!
@@jayphive2468heh, sure.
@jayphive2468 the one-wheel itself you mean?
@@MrGreenAKAguci00he means future motion thinks it’s too dangerous to allow personal or third party repairs. At least that’s been their excuse for the longest time. Then the community decided to make vesc 😂
@@glitchy8429 Yeah, I know. (I own a Trampa board based DIY mountain board.) I was referring to the known issues with Future Motion boards where they caused people death or injury and only after these tragedies they issued a recall. Good luck recalling boards from across the globe... They are afraid of 3rd party repairs, but when Louis Rossman looked at their boards and power distribution systems, he found a lot of issues. Future Motion original designs are sub-par, insufficient and frankly (pardon my French) dog shit. The worst part is that when enthusiasts found workarounds and were able to improve the flawed systems, their boards got bricked by a firmware updates... Their practices are malicious towards their consumers. Future Motion as a company makes me almost as angry as Adobe does, and that's no small feat. They are also not aligned with Adam's love for tinkering with and improvement of his gear. Adam likes to own his gear, the way ownership was meant to be, not the way Future Motion thinks it is.
Meanwhile, back at Corridor Digital:
Jake: Hey Wren, did you see the new Tested video?
Wren: What, no- is it good?
Niko: Yeah dude, they let Adam Savage build his own OneWheel at the factory!
Wren: ... **Head explodes**
SuicideNeil 😂😂😂
i hope that actually happens in The Corridor Crew, Wren would of course say it's "Mine"
Lord Groudon time for pushups
Corridor Digital* :D
Corridor Crew*- little wonder I forgot the name- they have 2 channels and keep changing the damn names. They'll always be Corridor Digital for most of us.
Adam has a talent for turning whatever job he does into an envious lifestyle!
His passion is infectious.
desirable rather than envious...
Or "enviable".
@Agent J Stop being so cynical. Adam clearly visited during closing hours as making a video in a fully running factory is wouldn't be ideal sound wise. Additionally, I doubt the carpet is actually used for much testing, it would be to time consuming to test each board this way. Its likely there as a after thought or to allows visitors a space to try the boards out.
@Agent J You must really hate your life. Everything needs to be some form of conspiracy, lie or falsity to make yourself feel better knowing there's people out there innovating, creating and changing the world while you type away on UA-cam about how negative commercialism is. I could go on but your Rick and Morty profile pic clearly proves your intellectual superiority...
the satisfying *click* the screwdriver makes
When I used to fix cars, the best thing EVER is the click of a torque wrench.
It's triple satisfying because it's;
1. A great and crispy sound.
2. It's a nice click you can feel in your hand, and also in the piece your working on.
3. It means you got your bolt/nut/hardware set _PERFECTLY_ because you set the weight beforehand, and you know each click means it's perfect and doesn't need to be double checked or redone. It's just finished. Done. Leave it be.
Nothing is more satisfying than an audible, tactile, signal that you're done with your work and know that it's done correctly.
Tools can be oddly therapeutic! Haha
@@DanteYewToob for fixing bicycles, we have sets of pre determined allen torque wrenches set at 3,4,5 and 6 nm for use with smaller easy to over tighten bolts. especially useful for carbon fiber bikes that require precise torque. one adjustable torque wrench would do the job but having many set at the torques you need is ideal, just like the one wheel manufacturer
I have taken to verbally saying “Click” during my work for the exact list of reasons above. It’s very satisfying when in front of a customer who chuckles a little bit, but the surprised look on their face when I plug the thing in with one hand, I’m totally convinced I have fixed it just because I know I have, nothing happens for half a moment and the other hand goes up in the air, whistle as my arm does a circle and I snap my finger and point at the thing as it fires into life at that exact moment after having a broken machine since before they called me in total defeat, Gives me the job satisfaction I enjoy. Totally AvE inspired.
I dont see a reason why would anyone spend $1999 for the pro version when you can buy 2 Mac pro stand's and save you a dollar....
Yeti did it first by selling you a handle for a cup.
@@847MicRoss how much was that
It's awesome who cares! You only pay 59 a month.
@Carl Pinson there's a down payment pretty sure
The Mac doesn't bring you anywhere
"Can you give me some really dramatic open-source music" - best line! ha ha.
Seriously though, love the video!
Andrew Tompsett Great music!
I love this mans enthusiasm, he always gets pumped about builds and it seems genuine
Jeah like a lil kid on christmas😂
Chemistry: Electrons are so light, that they are negligible in chemical calculations
Kyle: Electrons are heavy
Adam: Laughs
What's heavier, a kilogram of Steel or a kilogram of eletrons ?
Dear God I was waiting for someone to call that out 😂
I've had my OneWheel for about a week and I'm in love! Rode about 30 miles so far and find myself thinking all day about when I can go riding again!
His pure enthusiasm is so wholesome and adorable 😭💯
Adam I love your energy, you bring your personal magnetism or charisma to every thing that your doing. Enjoy your new One Wheel Skateboard they look fantastic, I would love to have one , maybe one day. 😁
Don't do it, you have to send your board back to get the smallest thing fixed and they charge you through the roof for it.
I would love to see a conversation between @wrenthereaper and Adam Savage while they ride on one wheels.
Please. Do this.
Maybe Adam can explain to Wren why carbon fiber is indestructible.
Ha yes
What a zinger
My god could you imagine a Wren/Adam onewheel rebuild? They’d make that thing insane
The best episodes of Tested, Mythbusters, etc are the ones where Adam just gets to geek out!
This is now one of my favourite videos on UA-cam. Adams excitement is so contagious, it was a joy to watch.
"Where do we start? Start at the beginning." Such a simple statement, but yet so wise.
From someone that formulates rubber, don't lick the tires LOL. Some of the curatives (and UV stabilizers) used in rubber are pretty toxic and on new tires like that, there can be bloomed curatives on the surface of the tire. You would actually be safer to lick an older tire LOL. Many rubber products will go through a cleaning process after vulcanization to clean these chemicals off the rubber but these chemicals can still "bloom" or leach out to the surface over time. Food contact rubbers are cured more carefully with specific curatives where as tires might use any curatives regardless of toxicity and they may be more concerned with the rubbers physical properties and toxicity is much less of a concern because they don't intend for people to lick the rubber LOL. Your not going to die from licking one tire one time but I would not make a habit of it LOL.
Don't worry I will and so will you LOL.
LOL
LOL LOL
@@infernalGotYou lol
heliacrashpro owned infernal nl like Seigfried owns Roy
They should totally let Wren from Corridor Digital assemble his own! He is like a walking ad for OneWheel!
Can we start a petition?
😂 licking that tyre!
When Will I Learn? I wonder what chemicals are added to the rubber that he ingested. The wheel was relatively sterile but not necessarily safe.
There are so many things sprayed on tires to release them from their factory molds, lol. I'd rather lick one with 500 km on it than a "factory fresh" one, to be honest. It's generally recommended with car tires to be cautious for the first little while as you drive on new tires as you wear off the "new tire garbage".
3:07 he almost falls
Tire*
Mmmm, mould release
i like that he's so open about his product, sharing the amazing engineering behind this.
and you just gotta love the home printed helping tools and stands :D
You know it's the real deal when Adam has a hard-fixed smile on his face the whole video through...
Adam wears his emotions emblazoned in bright orange letters on his chest, for the sleeve is too subtle. I know of only one other person (who is also in California, coincidentally) who shares this same trait. Watching them enjoy something--anything--is satisfying like nothing else on this planet.
His smile is like a child in a candy store it makes me feel so happy. Adam he probably Wont end up reading this but if you do I’m so sorry for your loss, grant was an amazing man. Him and you both made my love for making things and im so sad I will never get to tell him or even you how much you two have affected me and my life. So I dont miss the Chance to tell you this if you do end up Reading this you changed my life for the better Adam I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t see you as a young kid thank you. I don’t know why I can’t stop crying now.
Adam Savage is one of my biggest inspirations. Keep on doing what your doing, man.
I will never get tired of seeing Adam so excited over stuff
I kept not watching this as I thought it was a home build of a Onewheel. I see now this was way more than that. I love how Adam is so excited about what he is doing. It inspires me to enjoy what I am doing.
Is it even possible that there hasn't been a One-Wheel with the "Back to The Future" hover board design?
Riotous Rebel not built from the factory, but some owners have customized their own to look like the hover board!
I’m patiently waiting on my pint. This is great to see how a product I purchased is built. Not too often you get to see the full process. Great video!
Now I want one of them so bad! I never new Onewheel was a small company and made in California, I always assumed these were some cheap crap that would break day 1. You legit might have just sold me a Onewheel!
did you buy one
windolitEGamer
No... still really want it though
@@Jer_Schmidt use your stimmy for it like I did ;)
@@Jer_Schmidt if you would have saved up from the moment you made that comment two years ago, you would’ve had one by now 🤷♂️
@@cookiebuster652
I saved and bought a Model Y instead lol. Still kinda want a Onewheel but I don’t think I’d use it very much
I just saw you on Valencia on your one wheel. I had to do a double-take. Didn't want to bother you on your way to work but thanks for all of the memories growing up from Mythbusters to Cosplay to your one day builds. I love that you have worked hard to get to doing what you love and inspired me and so many of my friends to do the same thing.
watching Adam Savage apply grip tape to something was the most gratifying thing ive ever seen. love your show. keep up the good work!
I think they should make this a limited edition board, love the orange 🔥
Best part: “Electrons are heavy” Adam cracks up
Quality control and component quality is amazing! I was on the fence about getting an XR but not anymore. 🤔 You just don't get this level of quality from cheap Chinese made boards. If you ask me quality is a safety features on something I'll be riding down the street at 20+ mph! 😬
I love coming back and rewatching this video... The sheer joy on Adam's face throughout the whole thing is just priceless.
Its so wholesome. Adam is like the dad we all need and want
I'm so happy for Adam! I met him driving uber a year ago and mentioned he normally would have been ridin his onewheel but he needed to get down to the apple store. He also said the onewheel was a local company. It was awesome meeting him and learning about the boards!
*Adam* "So where do we start"
*other guy* "at the beginning",
Hahaha WTF.
Lol I noticed that too. And he brought another line like that later.
15:21 "where to next?" - "onwards" XD
9:29 Adam's face!😂
Yes ur channel gud make big ekronoplan plz
Adam and Wren from Corridor Digital should team up and make some cool Onewheel mods.
SquaredSmith yes
This thing is just as useful
Adam's passion and joy is infectious. I wish I could find a reason to justify buying a OneWheel! Thanks for 20 minutes of smiles.
Adam, your enthusiasm is so infectious. I know you'll never see this comment, but thank you for all the years of sharing your passion and excitement with the rest of us. Watching you make things always makes me happy and inspires me to create things myself.
Tested family and crew: you have been absolutely shredding it with the content as of late. Loving it!
John Strope i completely agree 👍
0:50 Using a camera as door wedge :')
shhhhh, that was me. (norm)
I wonder what Adam has to say about the fact that this thing bricks itself if you unplug the battery
Met Adam at the FanExpo in Dallas earlier this month. Incredibly nice guy and easy to talk to. We talked briefly about his OneWheel adventures during my autograph signing and his enthusiasm has me wanting to ride, possible own, one of these marvels of tech.
I really appreciate the design and in house assembly of the one wheel. It brings me so much joy seeing great companies create great products. This makes me proud to be a Californian. Great job everyone.
Better make one for Wren from Corridor
Yeah you're right
I love the fact that they use 3D printed stuff on their assembly line !
many companies do, and the parts are often the first to break
One wheel looks like a crazy fun mode of transport
When Will I Learn? Sadly also crazy expensive (albeit for good reason)
When Will I Learn? It is absolutely amazing!! My wife and i each got an XR about 3 month ago. It is well worth every single penny, especially if your travel to work is under about 10 miles. The Onewheel literally changed my life.. I'm 33 (zero board sport experience) and the OW basically gave me my childhood back. Instead of riding bikes around the city with my friends, I'm floating all over town on my OneWheel with my wife 😁
It's expensive for the battery life it has. Plus its not good at handling hills and the range is very limited. It is the best option though compared to regular electric skateboards like boosted
Michael Vu It has a range of 12-18 miles and only takes about 2 hours to fully recharge from 0. 99.99999% of people would be tired and need a break long before the battery is dead.
Michael Vu oh and it's amazing at handling hills.. a 25% incline is a pretty steep hill, and it'll power right up it. Also, the lighter the person, the steeper and faster you will climb. My wife flys by me on hills because I'm about 100 lbs larger than her. But still at 6' tall and 220 lbs, my max speed has been 22.6 mph. Off-roading on this thing is absolutely amazing.
This video helped sell me on the Onewheel XR+. Yes, it is incredibly expensive. In my experience you even need to spend more money on a good padded, curved back footpad and a fender. I got some of my stuff from third party brands. Once you build the Onewheel that fits you, it's some of the best fun you'll have. I live in a small town in rural Ohio and I've taken this thing all over the country on a recent road trip. The interesting conversations with intrigued people alone is fun and entertaining. The ride itself is an experience unlike any other. Up and down crazy hills, off road, around town, in the country. This does it all. Expensive, yes, but so incredibly satisfying. Also, built like a tank as the video says.
I was really surprised at how easy the tire is to mount on that wheel. I figured they'd at least need to hit it with some liquid soap to get it over the rim. Really like the tour through the whole assembly and testing process. From what I've seen, these guys really know their stuff and are taking customer feedback and constantly improving the end product(s). 16 miles on that little battery pack while moving the average sized adult, plus the board itself, is incredible! The re-gen function is great if you're operating in hilly terrain for getting the maximum range out of this unit. Wish I could afford one!😁👍
I love how hes just genuinely interested in the brand and that he wasn't paid outright to say good things about the company. Adam Savage, you have earned my respect.
This is the best kind of endorsement … getting a Fan to build their own gift with management assistance Whooo !
Except if he did any research into their business practices he would want nothing to do with them. They are about as anti self repair and diy as you can get. They outright have used legal action against people they don't like.
They're made in America?
Jesus, that's why they're so ridiculously expensive.
Robert Butler to add to that, California is the most expensive state in the US
Imagine Canada
Yeah I am reallydisappointed.
They should produce in China till automatisation is further ahed.
It costs money to have something nice. If it was built in China it would crumble in pieces before you made it a block down the road
@@CadillacJak you can't actually believe that. Almost everything is made in China or some other Asian country. Would you say your phone or your PlayStation is poorly made?
Safety orange is surprisingly nice colour.
As a result of watching the enthusiasm of Adam, I went and bought an XR. I am a bit older but I couldn’t resist! I intend to take it easy not to break any bones and have a blast with board!
I wish there was more like Adams in the world. I wish I had a father like you, you must be one awesome father.
You should check out wren from the corridor crew , he changed the tire of the one wheel to a off road one and added a quick release extra external battery
Ok I want one... time to save up. I don't even skate anymore... ;)
Impressive. attention to detail is key. Even tho i wont be buying one, i know now that they are superb.
I have literally watched this video 5 or 6 times and it's awesome every single time. Adam Savage makes everything fun and, being originally from the bay area myself, I love that everything is California made. I can't wait until I can afford my first one.
It always makes me so happy to see Adam get so excited about something. He just has such a positive energy, I love it!
1:52 (in the voice of David Attenborough) "The ever so declining species of California hippy displays his mating rituals in hopes to attract a potential mate."
Completely slick wheel.
"love riding it in the rain"
Lol, okay.
If you think that this thing is going to go fast enough that hydroplaning is a legitimate issue I have some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you
@@TheCammerhammer Its not so much hydroplaning its the slick tyre having no grip on wet surfaces like granite, can make for some really nasty falls speaking from experience. I bought a treaded hoosier tyre replacement for my onewheel, best decision I ever made especially for going offroad. Most serious onewheel riders will switch to treaded tyres pretty quick
Yo Adam should link up with Colin Furze imagine those two on a project together!
Watching this for the 10th time and still love it.
thats the best ad they could have ever gotten xD .. like seriously.. if i weren’t broke, i would totally buy one
Adam needs to get a GT and review it. Actually, it would be really cool to see him make a video about Onewheel mods, especially about the stuff people are doing with the open source VESC controllers. Of course, doing so would probably burn some bridges with Future Motion...lol
He should immediately unplug the battery and plug it back in
LOL
"So yeah, that was safe to do... probably" XD
I love when Adam goes around to other places and just acts like he’s in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory
My Onewheel Pint arrives Friday and I couldn't be more stoked
I think this is the first build I have seen Adam do where he wasn't human and messed something up hahaha!
Now Adam needs to build a paramotor XD
Let's Freeze It Yes!! With a custom colour moster on it 😎
Where are all my wren fans?
Seen Louis Rossmans recent right to repair rants against one wheel? Still love them?
Because of the expense of the one wheel this is something sadly I will never own in this lifetime. But thanks to Adam Savage I get to see what one surfer / skater looks like when he wakes up on his birthday and gets what he hoped for. Thanks Adam.
I'd never seen one of these before watching this film but of all the personal electric balancing wheeled transport things I HAVE seen, this is clearly the one that makes the most sense in every way. Would love to try one.
Watching this reminds me of the Mythbuster episode when they put square wheel on a pickup truck
They should link two OneWheels together side by side with a platform to stand on then put a stick on it with a handle.
Great idea so a giant segway that sounds amazing
I legitimately thought of that video before I searched up for Adam's builds, wow.
sugar glider because its a sweet ride. precious. safety orange. omg
Too bad Future Motion has gotten so anti-consumer. If Adam is a true maker he would condemn their actions!
Just ordered a Pint today, and I'm super excited!
the thing makes everyone feel like a little kid. what a great invention. thank you future motion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it weird that noticed a small continuity errors in the video
0:45 - Shirt is dirty, says "before I head in there..."
1:35 - Shirt no longer dirty. (thought maybe he cleaned up a bit before meeting the owner of the company)
18:33 - shirt is now dirty in the same exact fashion as the opening of the video.
I'm 52 and ride mine everyday. My calves are getting huge, great leg workout.
Imagine how much stronger your calves would be with a $200 skateboard. And what you could do with the extra $1500. You could spend a month or two in SE Asia easy (I know because I work here), including the round trip flight.
@@earthknight60 if you own one of these, you're not pinching pennies bro.
There’s this interesting instrument called the melodica and it’s like a combination of a harmonica and a piano. It’s a wind instrument and is played by blowing through a tube and pressing certain keys to play different notes. I personally love them and though it would be cool to see Adam try to modify one of them to try and make it more intricate.
That was so awesome, they let you build your own, You Are "Special"!!!
As someone who works in manufacturing and assembly, its honestly even more interesting to see how things are done in a similar setting
The cost of these units is not at all surprising. I see at least 9 different components they could be re-engineered and manufactured for cost while delivering the same performance and similar looks.
This is why you need good engineers onboard for startups like this. Making it go and manufacturing it aren't the only aspects to selling a product.
Wow man, you must be a really successful millionaire with all this insight into re-engineering and manufacturing. Oh wait, you're just armchair quarterbacking on a youtube video? Oh okay.
Honestly always wanted one of these but can't afford one 😭
coo02215 coo02215 ikr
I have always dreamed about having one😂😩
Seeing some of the ingenuity that goes into the manufacturing process is inspiring! I’m all thumbs when it comes to building/fixing/designing stuff, but I can appreciate excellence when I see it!
I love how Adam is insanely smart and knowledgeable but every time he does some thing it’s like a little kid on Christmas just pure joy. That’s how I iam to be.
