I know people who've sunk more than the $450 difference into upgrading their original Pint's battery, and voided their warranty in the process. Having the extra range is worth the new price, imo.
Fantastic Point!
For NEW purchasers, yes I agree. To switch from an old Pint? 😬 Not so much IMO. 🤙🏽
This was my thought for the XR+. Think it’s called the chi battery but know there’s one that’s quite popular to upgrade with but costs more than this difference and that’s assuming you don’t mess your board up in the process. I wish they’d have increased the top speed on the GT. 20 is fast on a onewheel but wouldn’t mind 25. Maybe the motor or liability on their end but for my needs the XR+ has enough range where this isn’t worth the upgrade
Id've probably moved from the Pint to the Pint X instead of to the XR had it been an option last year. There's so much I love about the Pint and how it handles... the range was my only real complaint, and I wasn't willing to void my Pint warranty to get there. Now I love my XR, but I can't help but wonder what might have been.
Exactly. This upgrade is right in line with the DIY version in terms of price while being factory made and retaining your warranty. It also replaced the XR in terms of range for $300 less. The pricing is fine.
Love the constructive criticisms. Not just a love-fest. And the criticisms were realistic and honest. Very thorough review. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Not that Future Motion will listen to any of it.
6:30 "and everything else is just *cuts to ripping off tape*"
well played jimmy, well played 👏
I don't curse, but it's fun to make it seem like I do! 🤣
This could be an absolute winner for FM if they just fixed their pricing. Drop the Pint to $900 ish and the Pint X to $1200 and it would be a definite improvement. Having a sub $1k board would've given a pretty decent prospect for new riders
They should just make one with a removable battery pack. They would make a killing on selling battery packs and then range could be a non issue just throw a couple extra in a pack.
Usa company? Removable battery? Dude wake up its "throw it away buy new time".
And yes i wish they would do that...
This comment did not age well. Instead of a removal batter pack they now brick the device if the battery is disconnected
@@whatsthatbutton They we’re doing that when the comment was written.
The biggest problem I have with future motion is that they don’t provide replacement parts. The boards are very modular and should be easy to repair but future motion goes out of their way to make repair harder and more costly in-terms of money and time.
Yeah their business model is clearly "consumables" as opposed to "durables"
FFM (you could guess the meaning)

This is why I got a GT for my dad because he won't mod an XR he's not interested in doing so (I regretted the GT once my dumbass realized there'd be no mods so I tried planning a trade and he shut it down, and boy I tried convincing him otherwise but is what it is), it would cost more, but I'm sticking with mine and throwing on techrails, badgering it, crazyhub, shortie fenders, and cbxr/chip in a few weeks, already got Air Pad with front C&R grip tape, bang bumpers, Hoosier T2, float savers, tfl steel grizzlies, bearing protection, flight fins set up. I'm an XR dude, for some base product is all they want/need, so us DIY modders are being smashed by FM, so yeah. FFM. #FFM
I just got the Pint X as my first Onewheel and I’m loving it. Hearing about the pros and cons from many reviewers definitely makes me think it’s a great entry model, but not worth the upgrade if you already own a vanilla Pint.
haha a pint of vanilla
I’m surprised Onewheel didn’t send you the board for free! Best reviewer by far, love hearing your thoughts. About to hit 1k miles on my XR!
I'm just a small fry in UA-cam. They sent the free Onewheels to the big channels, but that's not stopping me from bringing you my thoughts!
@@freshlycharged you might be a small fry but you're our small fry! lol. thanks for all the content.
Nah. You can't mention 3rd party and stay in FM's good graces. This way we get the truth.
nah the scary part about future motion is: they sent no free boards out, to literally anyone. unless they work AT futuremotion and do social media stuff there. but like all the float life guys bought their stuff (probably at a lower price since they're a retailer too). pretty much every major channel got stuck buying their own stuff
@@RaidenPhotos I'm not sure if that's true. I know some UA-camrs that were sent the Pint X the day it was announced.
About price: I know I'm going to sound like a shill or an FM rep here but what I actually am is an industrial designer. We're unfortunately in a very high inflation period that may or may not go away, that's coupled with shipping costs nearly quadrupling and a (I'm going to say manufactured to increase share valuation) fuel scarcity that's driving costs way up. So while yes, it does suck that the prices are rising, that's fairly consistent with the climate we're in. It's also important to remember that most of the tech we consume is priced artificially lower than it should be. I'd be willing to bet that most hardware is subsidized by other much higher profit driven software companies/app companies/accessories/big data. Similarly, I would wager that OneWheels themselves are barely profitable when you take net into consideration but, injection molded accessories can more easily be made domestically and generate a much larger margin.
wait, what?
I will add to your comment…We aint seen nothing yet. It’s going to get bad. The tax farmers are culling the taxed animals to many useless eaters.
Shhh, no one wants to hear the truth. They just want to cry about it
Two wild and crazy knowledgeable guys! Thanks Jimmy and Andrew for the great insights! The lack waterproofing and price increase to me were my biggest issues. Also it sounds like you can’t fly with the PintX from some comments that I’ve read elsewhere which was a huge selling point of the Pint to me, so that I can always have a wheel with me. For me a lot of this was playing catch-up with the third party so that folks would buy new instead of used and upgrading. It’s still a new and fun Onewheel but I’m with Andrew they just had me wanting more!
Matt over at land surf says the fangs for pint will fit the x. You’ve got your clearance back! And a little safety to go with it. Happy to support those guys, excellent service.
I have the Pint X and just installed the fangs front bumper with the grab handle. It's definitely worth the $100
Thank you for taking the time and being a voice or reason - both pros and cons. I am currently on the lookout for my Pint X this week. The unboxing won't happen until Santa gets here but I look forward to starting my journey. Keep up all the great work!
XR for life 😊... Great discussion Jimmy!
Thanks Joe!
Always such quality in your one wheel videos. Love it! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the GT
Thanks for this very informative report. Helped a lot in my decision making. 🙏
Happy to help!
I've been eye balling one wheels for a whole year, saving up my pennies every Chance I could. I'm a motorsports program director and unless I bring my race car and trailer with me, I don't get to bring the grom, so the one wheel was always something I kind of wanted for the mobility, and cost was a major factor. The Used market is still really strong on these with used pints selling round 750-800$ in CO XRs in the 1200$ range. Even though the price point was 1400$ for the new pintX, the fact that a hot new revision came out GOT me on one. And I freaking love it! In the scheme of things, its new price puts it in the used XR market, without all the scratches, miss matched problems, with a warranty, and the sense of pride knowing every mile is yours. Glad this came out, glad I'm riding without any major issues, and man, this has sold me on the product. I can't wait till people start getting their GTs so I can scoop up a deal on a used XR+ to add to the stable.
Changed the front bumper with the original pint bumper as sooon I got the pint x.
how is it?
@@freshlycharged I like it a lot and none of others really noticed it till I told them.
I do think if u are new to pint x with no pint bumper u will have to buy a new set is annoying. Also it makes very interesting scenarios for Float plate that I can’t wait to get for pint x.
Thanks for the honest review Jimmy, far more trustworthy than all the influencers who got the freebie.
Thanks for the time you put into this video
Always love your reviews! Like someone mentioned, they are honest and give both good and bad!!!
Just got a pint x used for $1200 with Hypercharger. I started with a Pint and I love it (but it's just alittle too slow). I still want an XR but I still love having a smaller form factor board. So glad I got a Pint X at such a good price :D
I agree with Andrew on the design. Most people say they don't really like the XR design because it looks like it was made in a garage. I love it because... it looks like it was made in a garage!
Every scratch, every bump add to the aesthetic of the XR instead of subtracting from it. It just gets cooler with time, instead of looking old and rough it looks like it was used like it wants to be used.
Congrats and great review. I'm sticking to my pint for now and still loving it JC. Great channel.
Thanks 👍
I really like your videos. Informative and a great help when everything Onewheel have is so expensive. Love my nabouring Sweedish armor(ed) and diy`s, thanks man! came for the Pint, stayed for all your videos.
I'm with Andrew on this one. I recently switched from the old pint to an XR, and I'm definitely holding on to it for now. Good point from Jimmy on the clearance. From what I saw so far, it looks like the GT will suffer the same problem, it just looks too low.
Jimmy! Honestly my only complaint about my pint is that speed currently. I literally feel like that slight mph change may be perfect. At 205lbs I get pushback currently at about 14.5 which is like the time I start to feel fun. Pushback at 16.5-17 sounds like worth the upgrade for me
Nothing more horrifying than a deep carve and your board pushes back. +2mph sounds like a win. Plus the range sucks.
Andrew hit the nail on the head.They didn't make a better product.They should have fixed the pushback issues by adding features for it on the app.Basically your getting a better battery for and additional $450.
Finally now that my snowboarding season is over I am getting around to reading the reviews on the new Onewheels. Have had my Pint for two years and have toyed with the idea of an XR at times because of the off-road ability but I have learned to ride the Pint on gravel roads and some trails, so don't need it. I like that the Pint is more maneuverable, lighter in weight and easy to store behind the seat in my vehicle, making it very accessible. I travel and camp and it is the best way to have quick, easy, and fun transportation when stopping in town or camping. I get over 10 miles with plenty of reserve on my Pint and now have a car charger and the quick charger, so range is not a problem. The big downside I see with the X is the lower clearance, as well as I don't want any extra weight. So will stick with the Pint.
Only problem is that I had a sudden malfunction when riding the other day. Top speed showed 14.3 mph, flat surface, no push back the whole ride, which was about a mile. Suddenly locked up it seemed, and threw me. Hit hard on my left hip but no breaks luckily. The wrist guards saved my hands. A few scrapes and bruises, but trying to find out what happened. I have experienced nose dive before when battery was low, and another freak pitch forward at lower speed which was due to sand in the crack in the road on an uphill grade. No understanding of what happened here. I tried to find something about a Simple Stop glitch that I heard people mention, but can't find anything on that. Waiting for FM to get back to me, but not expecting much help there. Two days later I sent an email inquiring and they said they are waiting for my serial number, purchase info, etc., ALL of which I sent them with the Diagnostic Data back the day of the accident. Battery was at 60%.
Love my XR but getting a Pint X as I am a truck driver and have a Dultron Storm in my passenger seat and my XR on the top bunk! Every time I am in Denver and find places to go ride I keep a eye out for you two hoping I would run into to you guys and go for a ride! It’s because of you guys I got into riding a onewheel. Stay safe and thanks for all the good info you guys put out!
Send us an email at ridepevs@gmail.com and hopefully we can link up.
the pint x is my 1st one wheel so i cant speak to how it feels compared to the older model or the XR, however as a new rider i feel the pint x is great to get going and feeling what a one wheel can do and go, ive had mine for a about 6days now and ive taken it on dirt,road,grass and it feels capable to carry me around a burly dude weighing 200+ lbs.
Have had both for almost a year now.. and I love my XR way more than my Pint.
And good on you for being honest about the bundles. The 3rd party folks have better products anyway. Float Life rail guards are about 100 times better than FM rail guards, any day of the week.
Best video yet! I want one and these are all real concerns you have that the company FM would not address unless youtubers etc start voicing it. THANK YOU!!!
Glad it was helpful!
About Innovation: There's A LOT of hate going towards FM over the GT because it is a completely new product and whether it was intentional or not, that hangs the aftermarket community scrambling to catch up. The new Pint X looks is a bit more "if it's not broke, don't fix it, let's just make it more competitive with the current XR." I don't mind this pragmatic approach as it now gives people who like the pint the ability to hang with the XRs on group rides and enjoy a greater range/speed. I think no matter what, FM would get criticism. The more troubling issue seems to be that front sensor.
There is no Innovation or something new in a self balancing ESC tech, everyone has it since 2003. They are just bullshitting, f-ing monopolists, doing whatever they want. I wish some other companies start making this like electric skateboard, what they gonna do then? they will be f--ed.
@@shalvami this is exactly why FM spends 90% their budget stifling competition not innovating their own shit. remember. one wheel IS NOT the first one wheeled skateboard.
I wonder why more companies haven't started making their own, I mean they have the base design already, it's just the electronics side of it, sort that out and there's a big market, and then imagine if they let 3rd parties on board to make accessories, and let you repair certain things then they'd have big sales and, that would certainly make FM have a different approach
@@evoke2104 I think FM is ahead of competition software wise.
@@evoke2104 Look at the EUCs, these are also same principal, OW is actually easier to make.
This why I love your channel very fair preview/reviews.I like my original pint as it fits my needs as I don’t go on long rides but thanks for calling out the bs of future motion raising the price of the original pint.I feel like they are not helping themselves by not lowering the prices of the original pint.There a market for EV but not everyone wants to drop a grand on one.770-850 would be a perfect price.
I am surprised that there isn't a refurbished market as well. OneWheels are durable to the max but get a lot of scratches and tire damage, which can be easily fixed.
I am all about electric scooters I don’t care for one wheels or eUC‘s but I will always watch Jimmy Chang and Andrew videos love these guys!
Thanks for the support! Much more scooter content coming!
This was better than watching an episode with Dwight and Jim at the office ✌😜🤙
Asian Jim!
For someone coming in new to the OW market, the Pint X seems to be the sweet spot. I've wanted one for a long time and finally pulled the trigger for the X based on the speed/range bumps. I am too new to have many of the things that bothered you bother me since I have no experience to compare it to. I'm just going to enjoy my new X and smile my way into the OW Community. 🙂
Same!
Float your way into the community....welcome friend🙂
Pint is like a daily car and XR like limousine. Upgraded from pint to XR few months back with no regrets. With X on the market it's even better now to buy used but in good shape XR :)
This was a great video. Thanks Jimmy.
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the review. I just got an original Pint a bit over a month ago, been loving it so far but in riding it max range each time now.
What profile do you usually ride the pint/x in? I prefer elevated usually
Great video.. couldn't agree more on #3. A true waterproof rating would be extremely helpful! One of the only deterrents to buying this.
Another great honest review! Your videos are awesome. I agree on the waterproofing. I hope my new gt gets the range they advertise.
Another great honest comment! Thanks for watching!
I just started the video and I’m excited.
With the decreased clearance, that I do find really odd. It would not be hard for FM to simply construct the rails with slight downward angles starting near the outer edges of the tire so that the axle is effectively dropped an extra inch or so relative to the bottoms of the footpads. It would also look kind of cool, too, introducing some angles into the profile of the board, IMO.
1:25 That is a usual pint characteristic. Mine used to do that all the time!
Thanks for the great review! I always love learning about Onewheel and accessories from your channel.
Is the Armored Jacket you guys are wearing warmer or cooler than the Armored Hoodie that you reviewed previously?
I am considering their hoodie or jacket as an all-year-around piece of gear that I can layer in the winter but still wear during most of the summer. But it sounds like the hoodie may be too warm for the summer. Any recommendations on the Lazy Rolling hoodie/performance hoodie/jacket that is comfortable in summer and can be layered in winter?
🌕 I ride the ole Pint and love it for its carving ability. To think of having a heavier one that can scrape on a tight slow turn is a turn off for me. I was ready to move up to the X when my local shop quoted me the $1050 price as the resale value is great for my old one, but once I read the listing for the X at $1400 it’s not worth the extra cost even though my entire reason was the extra distance a short coming for the ole Pint. Though I actually found to achieve 10 miles at 9/10 /11 mph. And generally only ride around about 8 or 9 and like the less charging time. Keeping mine and considering I got a deal at $950. Still a value at $1050. I love it so much I am thinking of buying another before its price goes up. Have one for my grand kids to ride with me. Only a little sad that my Pint I get push back at anything over 12 mph. This is my 3rd OW love it way more than My old XR since I don’t ride the dirt. My hats off to the motion crew industries. Living in Santa Cruz and been riding these since I first saw them on the cliffs 4 years ago. These boards are built good and built to last.🤙
I love my pint! I am jealous of that speed and range though!
Great Vid thanks again
Great video …I’ll probably buy one because of your video..ty
From what I have seen I think I am glad I just went with the onewheel xr+. Though it is kind of aggravating not even a month after I got it they came out with new boards.
Andrew sporting the TSG pass! 🤛🏻 Great video and review!
Great points! Subscribed!
Thanks and welcome
I want to see someone ride the Pint X uphill. I think the thicker front end is really going to catch people off guard.
I'm glad they came out with new products. But the pint X is super underwhelming. The range is nice, but they really could have put alot more into it. Better light bar. Better foot sensors. Slightly larger footpads. Suspension. Customizable LEDs. More clearance. Handle hole. They just threw a bigger battery in a pint and they are Charging 50% more.
Not to mention, an XR is so customizable, you can make that board anything you want.
Truth!
I mean it also does go faster so that’s it as well
@Philippe Choquette you have to buy the charger ports for that
Jimmy I was waiting for your pint vid my man!
Much more inclined to grab the GT to upgrade from my Pint. Love the look of the pint and the new GT follows that aesthetic but has all the extras I wanted the XP to have.
I've got a onewheel for my daughter and myself BUT I'm honestly looking into a EUC for me. Daughter likes her pint
I’m in the same position as you. Got around 400 miles on my pint and wanted to upgrade to the GT now. Just don’t know where the best place to sell it would be
@@crziq7884 I hear there are some great Facebook (or should I say Meta now?) pages where there is a high demand fir second hand onewheels and parts.
great video. thank you guys
Thanks for watching!
I’m glad it’s such a modest upgrade and that they are hiking up the price because I have no intention of upgrading to any of them. If they brought out a great new upgraded board that was looked better, was waterproof, much faster and with the better range then my old Pint would lose value and feel more inferior. For the most part I’m happy to take it slow although the better range would be nice sometimes.
As much as some people might not like the push back I think it’s quite a dangerous device and it’s very easy to misjudge the speed so I think FM are wise to increase the pushback to make it more safe overall. If they reduced it I think they would need to include an audible alarm in the board but that seems even more annoying - people would be able to open the board and disable the speaker.
I watch you in this video and you’re standing quite straight while distracted with the camera work. If the board malfunctioned and nose dived I expect you are more experienced than most so as to either react or roll better but that sudden dismount can be awkward and remove your ability to control how you land. I had my first fall 6 weeks ago and while I blame myself it gave me a taste of what it’s like to be caught off guard… I was going very slowly and the Pint cut out but as said, it was my fault. I had someone recording a few quick shots of me and I had been picking up the board and moving it without switching it off. I was also tired but wanted to shoot the quick video but being tired and distracted meant that I didn’t notice that the nose was riding low until after I fell and when I fell my reaction was so slow that I took one step then went down hard on my right arm. I broke that shoulder and a bone in my other wrist. Now I have to put up with everyone telling me I have to sell it even though it was clearly my own fault… if I fall again I really will look stupid.
Did you continue riding?
Thanks for the video Jimmy and Andrew! I think you can justify the X price as being significantly cheaper than an XR with pretty much the same specs. Of course, I would rather get an EUC but to each their own :)
Well said!
Eventually when I have a job in a few years I might buy a ping. I love longboarding but the pint looks awesome!
Just got the bundle and completely agree. Fender worth it and ultra charger but extra bumper and rail protectors are not. Can easily get things through 3rd party and would recommend since less expensive
The Onewheel legend himself finally reviews the pint x
Finally, a new Onewheel for me to ride and make videos about!
I own both, so I like the look of each of them individually.
THANK YOU JIMMY CHANG!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT BOY!!!!!!!
You never skimp
Pint to Pint X really just feels like the Onewheel Plus to the Plus XR (extended range).
The Jump from Gen1 to the Plus was huuuge. The jump from the XR to the GT seems pretty big as well.
I’ve been waiting to hear them drop something different enough to go out and get.
I love that they’re offering the rounder tires.
They’re harder to learn on, but once you “get gud” they’re so much more fun.
The pint X is just more range really. Little more speed. So it’s a little better than the XR jump, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same product.
They only exist to provide people with different price options.
So yea, I mean if you have the money or you can sell your Pint and you want more range…. Do it up. The range extension is pretty awesome. My Plus gets around 5 or 6 miles, and yea if I bring the charger I can have it up and running again in 45 mins or so; but not having to do that because you have double the range really is a game changer.
The hyper charger is a game changer too. Being able to go 6 miles, chill for 40 mins, and then get another 6 miles is pretty nuts. Make that 12 miles or 32 miles!!! Well, now it’s just insane. The GT battery probably takes a good 3 to 5 hours or so, but I’m mean… 32 miles… that’s nuts. You could ride literally all day, maybe need 1 partial charge…Maybe, lmao.
Too late Jimmy, I already got the same bundle you did 😂. For a first time onewheel owner though, I'm pretty happy overall.
Thank you for this! I’m selling my Pint & am trying to decide between a Pint X & a used XR. What are your thoughts? They are pretty close in price at this point.
Metal AND plastic would be way cool. I swapped my pint for an XR last year, and I’m planning on waiting for the GT. Pint X definitely a good buy with its price, but I agree the thing should have an IP rating.
I’m still riding a Onewheel,+ and it seems like they essentially took the capabilities of that older machine and fit it into a Pint and then priced it somewhere between those two machines. That’s not terrible, but my biggest wish is for more safety features for commuters who don’t want to be wearing hip pads around town because there’s an unknown likelihood of crashing. Hopefully the bigger batteries in the new machines will help with that a little.
I got the pint early this summer, ~6months ago. My biggest complaint is the range. I am 6'2" ~220lbs, so basically the limit of size for the one wheel, and get about 6 miles of range usually. There's a big hill going up to a park by me and that hill alone, it's about 1/3 of a mile in total, will drain about 12% battery. Ive been stranded once, my Pint died, but showed it had 15% battery left, yet it wouldn't go any more. After the showcase i found a video about the Quart aftermarket battery for the Pint that basically doubles the range for about $350(if i remember correctly), i think i will end up getting that.
I messed up my BMS from a faulty Quart. Ended up costing me 2x what I initially thought and 4 months without my pint.
Well the pint states that it only gets that limited range so why are you complaining? That's like buying a mower with a 48 inch deck and getting upset you can only cut 48inch strips of grass each pass?
@@Itowle9 hes complaining because when you look at the range of a pint at least on paper it seems pretty far but when you actually ride it daily all it does is suck the fun out of your experience when you realize you have to charge it already on top of the speed at 14mph just feels really slow.
@@real_ez8412 Exactly, you only get about 30-40 minutes out of it per ride, assuming you're not just going as fast as you can. I usually cruise around 12mph, although sometimes i wish i could go faster. Then when you're not even 20 minutes in and you feel like you basically just started it tells you you're at 50% battery and you need to turn around, that's just a buzz kill. If i had the expendable cash, or i lived close enough to work that i could ride a one wheel to justify the purchase, i would've gotten a bigger one with a greater range. And it's possible to upgrade your battery capacity with aftermarket stuff for about the difference in cost from a new Pint to a new PintX. So i could sell my Pint used and buy the PintX, idk what the used Pint market is like rn, I'd assume probably $800 for it, then put that towards buying a PintX, which after taxes and other add-ons, like rail guards, would probably be about $1500. Leaving me to cover the $700 gap. Or i could go for aftermarket batteries for about half of the cost. That's why i brought up getting aftermarket batteries.
@@real_ez8412 The website literally says 6-8 miles under the product. Being 220lbs I'd say it fits the parameters.
after riding the pint for several months i can say that i like the XR but the pint is wayyyy more fun to ride. and if you ride pint enough and get REALLY comfortable ( which i will say does take some time) its like nothing else. Pint just takes ALOT longer to get that same kind of comfort. Def takes more skill to ride a pint.
You really need to watch for cracks or potholes in the roads too with a pint, which is an excellent excuse for carving :)
All that stuff in the bundle is for changing the colors. No you don’t “need” them, but it looks like you didnt even want them lol. At least you have backups now, for when they get beat up. The carbon fiber is nice, and the hyper charger is an absolute necessity. I almost pulled the trigger on the GT, but I decided to wait a bit for reviews….like yours!! Thank you for being the guinea pig. Awesome video btw!
The mag handle is also great. Before those came out we were buying these strap-on handle things that were meant as a grab handle for the top bar of a Jeep. Like the inner frame roll bar above your head. It’s a little nylon strap that would have two points to fix around the roll bar a then a handle hangs off. It was perrrrfect to throw on the bars of the XR. Some 3rd parties made some options too, but I just grabbed the Jeep handles from Amazon for like 5 dollars lol.
My KS16X is awesome, had it just over 2 mo. Was going to get a one wheel Gt. to take on the beach, but with it not available, learning more about Fm’s history and business practices, I want nothing to do with them. This review has me thinking about rethinking and getting a pintx, cause I still want to beach ride. (Sugar sand, kicks the KS’s butt) Thanks for all the informative videos!
Jimmy what do you think is a better investment: used XR or new pintX?
You actually mentioned something I haven't heard of before. That 50% increase in price is really crazy if you think about it. And on top of that the pint's price didn't drop. What the hell? Yea, Future Motion is pretty weird.
Really there needs competition. To lower price. Competion like the one wheel not 4 wheels.
Great review/video as always. The X seems like a great addtion. As others have said a $950 Pint with a battery upgrade is running you at least 1300. I did the battery upgrade and while I certainly got extra distance, its not been as much as advertised nor what I am reading people are getting wth the X. Plus the extra speed is a big sell for alot of people. The 1400 price point sounds about right for me, especially when the XR is 400 more and the X gives you most of the same features.
Great insight! So are you getting it?
Yeah it's worth it to buy a pint x over buying a pint specifically to upgrade it but if you already have a pint the battery upgrade seems more worth it than getting a whole new board.
Pint X is cool. If I was recommending a onewheel to a new person and not trying to flip my XR for a GT I would recommend it.
I'm hyped for the GT though.
The form factor is nice, as well as the range increase. The price though put me off to it.
I wonder if it would be better to just pick up the old Pint, when discounts hit, or other's sell their used boards to finance an upgrade, and just get a larger battery for it for almost the same results and less cost.
That's exactly what I was thinking of doing, Unfortunately most of the resells I've found are going for near new prices.
Facebook has been blowing up with resells lately
Or maybe even get an XR, cause you can probably find one that’s cheaper than the pint x
Im about to make some pop corn for this amazing content that is the changster
The goat returns
I agree with the waterproof rating because I live in washington and I’m riding through very damp streets and it makes me so nervous
Can't wait for you to review the GT.
I'm thinking to buy the Pint X during black friday if they have those bundles again. Exactly which accessories do you feel are not exactly a good deal?
My first reaction to the GT was Jimmy got his wish, it doesn’t look garage built now!
Thanks for thinking of me!
@@freshlycharged literally my first thought during the reveal~!~
I got the base bundle and I like it because I got the fender and then I just bought the rail gaurds seperatly
Can you put normal pint bumper on the front of the pint X to make it thin again?
Great vid. But now it’s time to get that GT in your hands again😂
Awesome insight just sold my paint definitely gonna upgrade. Also what helmet is that that you guys are wearing at the round eight minute mark with the visor?
Thanks for watching. Helmet link in the description.
@@freshlycharged Thanks so much I also followed your channel I was on the fence between a GT and the pint x but I love the portability of the pint after watching this video you definitely helped me make my decision just gonna do the upgrade from mine also definitely going to get the helmet
@@TriforceRusu Awesome! Glad I could help.
Thank you!
I agree with everything you guys said. I will be very hesitant to buy another Future Motion Product. Just months ago they said there is nothing to worry about, buy your Pints and XRs without worry. Now we have a Pint with a Quartz Battery marked up by 50% and an XR with an essentials package marked up by 100%. All the benefits of the Pint X are due to the extra voltage/watts on the battery. They had almost no motor, housing, or sensor upgrades (I say almost cause i don't know). Battery tech has gotten cheaper, not more expensive. This is really poor business practice, and I will vote with my wallet.
The general economic condition at the moment is going through inflation.
I'm sure that affects their bottom line.
From shipping and transportation to raw material and manufacturing it's all inflating. Just look at the PPI (producer price index). I don't think future motion is raising prices just because.
Agree, they have just added cells to the pint. (the XR battery pack) not worth the markup. Yes prices and components have become more expensive because of the shipping problems around the world. Still I don't think this has to do with it.
Voted with my valet and bought pint X
Good video. Please consider another comparison feel performance an real data of pint x to pint an if can in same video to XR.
The pricing structure makes me think they want their products to be seen as more quality, similar to what Apple does. I think they probably thought that all onewheels being over $1,000 would give it more gravitas
I like that word... gravitas
Lmao
1000-1400-1800-2200
I don't think it's a coincidence it's 400 separating all of them
@@B-RaDD easy on the brain calculator 😂
@@B-RaDD With the included mag handle, treaded wheel (subjective, I know) and fender and higher foot pads in the GT, the price difference to the xr is almost negligible for me. I think the upgrade from pint to pint x is much worse money wise. 40+% instead of 25% for less increase in value for the customer respectively. If you had to buy all extras on the xr you spent almost the same amount of money as you are on a new GT with extras included. I own both a pint and 2 XRs, btw. The pint x proposition is too little for too much in my opinion. Anticipating my GT.
Pick up an aftermarket bumper kit when they release. That will fix the clearance and or give you a handle.
The point of the bundle is for customization, looks like you just clicked through without doing any of that and ended up with identical replacement parts. If you want your bumpers, rails, and fender to have a certain look then the launch bundles would have been a very good deal.
Hey Jimmy. I ordered my first OW and it’s the GT. It’s the first upgrade that made me think It could meet my needs with range and torque. I can’t wait. Did you order a GT as well?
I did!
I am thrilled that they improved the range, but they left off a lot of things that would have been incredibly easy improvements. Examples: The ability to increase the brightness of the headlight. This could have been a feature in the app. If you are riding at night and don't need the full range, turn the brightness way up.
Have more speed warnings. The Pint X should have an audible beep when it's motor is maxing out. The battery bar should also flash red as a visual warning.
How about using the battery LEDs as a speedometer so that you can glance down and get some indication of your speed (without having to mess with your phone).
How about including the $3.00 charging port plug.
And yes - put a front handle under the nose.
All of this would be incredibly easy and not expensive at all.
Nice thoughts dude!
Big middle finger to us, from a company with waaayyy too loyal fan boys.
I can't believe people are ordering the GT by the thousands without knowing a thing about it.
@@OvertonWindex You have a good point. I believe that once you have had a One Wheel for a while, you forget just how insanely expensive they are. Then when an option to have more range comes available, they jump on it like $2,200 isn't a LOT of money.
You could literally buy a used car for that amount!!!
I also think it was a jerk move to raise the price of the original Pint after making literally 0 improvements. They should have lowered it to $850 so that more people could afford to get one in the first place.
@@FuquaRomeo the don't want to sell the Pint. They raised its price to 4 figures to detract people from buying it, compared to the X.
"$1050 or $1400 for twice the range?... yeah I'll get the Pint X."
"$1400 for the Pint X, ehh the Pint is $500 cheaper at $950, I don't need more than 8 miles"
That move is targeted at new riders.
Great review 👏🏼 thank you. Almost impulse bought this. Glad I didn't. @ this price point it should include accessories- fender, hyper charger, etc. That pushback would drive me crazy! It should allow you to disable it. And 220min to charge, thats absurd lol. And not full water resistant 👎🏼Seems really overpriced for what it is...
not sure if it's relevant or not, but I recently sold my XR & bought an Apollo Explore scooter. just a data point... Cheers Jimmy, love your channel 🍺
Thanks for sharing! I'd love to try an Apollo one day.
Just Got my Pint X 2 weeks ago and fell off it. Lol! I love this thing tho can't wait to ride it some more when my helmet comes in lol. Chicago wind so strong tho keeps me from moving lol.
