Always cool to see people like you go out to group rides and absolutely be cool to see you do more Onewheel riding. I want to go to the NYC Onewheel group ride(s) with my XR but def a bit nervous since I think I am a mediocre rider still!
Same here, man. I'm a beginner OW Pint rider in Westchester county. I wish there were beginner rides in the tristate area!
Fr it’s hella inspiring
Hey Allen, I used to think like you: I'm only a mediocre rider, maybe I'm not good enough to keep up with the other guys etc.. Cut that bs and just do it, man! U'll see that there are many people like u and me. Those rides feel fantastic, it's like a big community... everyone's always helping and supporting each other. No need to worry, just go for it and have a good time! 😊
When it comes to Onewheel one should definitely be aware of the right to repair situation. I love my Pint, but can't really use it much anymore because of how difficult and expensive FM makes it when it comes to repairability and serviceability. I need a new bearing in mine, but they won't guarantee it will be changed when I ship it in to them and pay $230 for a tune up.
Try to find a local ish stoke shop / repair shop.
@@lilkirch Nothing here where I live :/ And I have read posts from people being turned away from repair shops now because the shops can't get the parts from Future Motion. Their newest model, GT, will brick itself if one just unplugs the battery. The community is trying to make FM change their minds on repairs though so they can let shops get parts to repair and service boards. Crossing fingers there may be a repair shop here one day.
There are plenty of places to turn within the one-wheel community if you're talkin the original pint
One wheel is a joke run by criminals
A former GTX owner, just updated myself with an Acedeck. With 200mm pneumatics and weighing over 220 lbs, I can get 23miles averaging above 25MPH. I get 30 miles of range if I'm taking it a little easier (15-20 MPH).
Trails, grass, potholes, Acedeck don't care. Carve where you please.
That little mini is really a last-mile device. Go x-country with Acedeck
Group rides is where its at for sure, In Seattle we so Saturday Night Rides. No betta fun.
Went on my first group ride with ONEWHEEL AZ. it was fun but i was left in the dust as i had the pint and everyone had xrs or gts lol but nonetheless people were chill and still stayed back with me
Riding the reflecting pool was definitely dope. Entertaining video as always. And yeah get a onewheel again. It is especially fun on trails.
You were great on that lithe board😁. I also rather get on a short board instead. Nice to meet you that day man 🙌
Nice to meet you too bro!
should of ran some cloud wheels on there see if it would cleared the cracks bettery. i really want a mini for the size and weight just not sure how it will ride with 105mm cloud wheels.
It’s a lot quieter and more comfortable with the 105 cloud wheels. I wouldn’t recommend it for a heavier rider because it reduces range and is hard on the battery.
What are your thoughts on the Backfire Mini? I couldn't find a review in your channel but it looks like you use it. Thanks for the incredible content!
Always wanted to go on a group ride but I have no idea how to find out about these!
Start with a Facebook group search with a big city near you and eskate!
Las vegas we have some amazing group rides down the strip and around town !!
I have 4 minis and 2 longboards. I ride my Meepo Mini the most by far. Short boards are the best!
yeh nice... i have two mini boards and still looking to purchase a longboard.
*An electric longboard might be more practical for a group ride but minis are ridiculously fun for group rides* 😂 dope group ride footage, more!
⚡🤙🏼⚡
90% of the group rides I've done, I've been on a mini with 90mm hub drive wheels or now 85mm wheels lol. I changed the rear truck baseplate from 50deg to 44deg Caliber baseplate and it's now even more stable and surfy... people need to give minis a fair chance! 288Wh on mine so I get 14-18 miles.
that's great range for a mini 👏👏 idk what I get on my Phantom, but I know it's more now after switching to the stock wheels instead of the clouds.
@@WatchDoggyDog Not a fan of Miles boards, tends to be a brand most experienced riders steer clear from. I wouldn't class the Phantom as a normal mini, a short board with double drop, no-one before and no-one since has made that design choice... As long as you enjoy the board, that's what really matters though.
Mini boards do not turn as shape as a 38” long board?😮 Long boards are use for maneuver and long range!😊
I’ve never done any group stuff like that on any electric skateboard, Two skateboards but I don’t have friends who are interested like I am
What are those things called @3:00?
DC AND NYC best cities in America hands down.
My old board at 5:00 i miss her.
Hey I’m about 300 pounds does any one have a recommend electric longboard
That was good!!
Im in NYC their are so many esk8 groups
Nice! I love skating up there
@@RonnieSarmiento yep its a amazing over here but when I get the chance wanna come to dc
I am in a local group. They've helped me a lot.
Nice!
The Miles Phantom is the best short board out there especially with the 105mm Cloudwheels. GRANTED, it doesn't have a kicktail.
I NEED that kicktail
BKB Tayto
the mini tail ain't nothin! haha. yea no, I am jelly of the full tail there Ronnie, but the Phantom's humps are definitely my must have thing, so safe and snug. also, my cloudwheels partially melted due to heat from the motors! I am loving the more skate like feel I'm getting now with the stock wheels though, with way better range, although it's way more bumpy now too. 😎🤙
In my opinion that's really the only reason to have such a small board is that extra manuverability but that's just me.
Cringing as you touch everyone.
i keep that hand sani thang on me
As far as I know, I am the only electric skateboarder in miles around me. This looked like great fun. I wonder if you could have recharged your board by a light application of the brake when you were being towed, informing the e-bikers of what you were doing, of course.
Next time!
I just got an exway wave, diggin it. Put cloudwheels on and its way different (easier) to carve and stay stable at high speeds. Just got them for a smoother ride, and its a little smoother but not a big difference.
Would u suggest buying the exway wave, backfire mini, or meepo mini 2? Based on price and quality?
Having short boards with swappable battery packs make a lotta sense, plus 105mm Cloudwheel Donuts
Yes on swappable battery. Personally I like smaller wheels for more of a skateboard wheel. I’ll suffer for the skate life haha
Great video Ronnie my man 🤙 Q of the day: why do peeps say its tight? Meaning come from?
Im the only one with a mini in my group too. Lol. Everyone else has fancy DIY boards, bikes, and super bad ass scooters. Me a meepo mini ER. It's sketchy but does alright.... I have a lot of other boards, just prefer my mini ER ..
Sketchy in what way
Yeah more Onewheel content!
I say short boards are good for short (hehe) commutes and cornering. With longboards you can't turn on a dime and have to pick it up. Don't feel left out Ronnie and cool content as always! ✌🏻#shortboards4life
Anyone know of salt lake city area groups? Sounds bad ass to ride in a mob!
Dude, I’m down in Lehi. You find anything??
sick vlog Ronnie! your tricks are always very impressive! 👏👏 no group rides that I know of where I'm at, and I ain't willing to delve into the dreaded facebook, haha. I don't mind being a lone wolf on my Phantom though. I know you wanna hop back on one man! I know you love the tail though, they should make a tail add on adapter thing for it, that could work and would be awesome!
Can u take out the meepo mini 2 out for a updated review and ride plzz
Glad you’re back
This looks so enjoyable, I sadly can't find a single group ride where I live...
Laws in Denmark make it so hard to enjoy stuff like that with friends, and EBoard laws are extremely strict, 20km/h is the top speed you're allowed for example.
Oh no!
I know it's so bloody infuriating. I live in Canada and only own an ebike but so many people think 32kmh is too fast and should be the limit. Like imagine having to commute to work and grocery shop and travel with a car that's locked to 32kmh while every other car goes faster and the sidewalk and bike paths are nonexistent here. The speeds seriously need to be increased and there's no damn need for insurance or 3 year long driving licenses on these things.
If I were you I'd just find a way to illegally derestrict it.
I can't ride a skateboard at all but I'm gonna buy my first ever electric skateboard soon and it'll be amazing. Can you recommend one?
that's kinda surprising given most healthy adults can go over 20kmh on a bike...
@@GeekProdigyGuy Exactly, and so many more common logical things but so far I have yet to be stopped by anyone.
With the Atlas it tops currently 51km with terrible bearings and old battery, but it used to top 55-56km and it still felt slow.
Maybe it's just me, but anything bellow 60 feels slow, 25 is a joke.
Ronnie you were fire on that mini. NCESK8 shoutout!!
yessir! love my mini boards 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼.
🐍"Riding in the reflecting pool", took me a while to figure out. Very Cool‼️
My shortboard is a Louboard 3.0, I wanted to put those Cloud Wheel for hub motors on it, but it won't fit. Stock wheels keep catching on pebbles and throwing me off.
Does your Backfire Mini accept Cloud Wheels on the hub motors❓️
I'd like to see those wheels on your board and the Meepo Mini 2.🖖🤙
oh man when the next group ride? my backfire itching to ride with a group :D
Not sure, look up esk8dc on IG
Hi,I enjoyed your video just like Iparticipated this party riding ! Where I lived in, Chengdu ,China,we don't have this kind of activity held. From what I know that only few people joined our eskating family. I'm an esk8ter ,I enjoyed skating around ,wish one day we could develop better e-riding environment.
I bought a wowgo 2s pro and rode it pretty much every day for a couple months until I broke my collarbone. Turns out a kid nearby used to watch me and started learning how to skateboard because of me 😁 when I got back on my board there was another kid zooming round the block on an electric board and and only now I found out why
One of us should’ve click baited our title as “PEVs take over the capital “
“Storming The Capital but ECO-FRIENDLY”
I wish we had more roads and bike lanes where I could ride electric longboard. So far only group rides are on regular longboards and I love that!
Those are super fun too! Especially in parking garages
Love your vids keep up the good work
But I got a meepo mini 2 er with 105d wheels and 2 batteries :D
Was going to buy a Tynee Mini 3 Pro until I saw this video! Nobody wants a shortboard!
I bought the Tynee Mini 10.5 ah version while it was still available. I’ve gotten 18 miles of range before so not all mini boards have small range
True that!
The biggest thing about any longboard or electric skateboard for longer distance is _definitely_ learning to ride switch. You need to allow your legs to relax and switch it up every now and then. Can't ride the whole thing in just your stance of preference, because it'll kill your legs.
True that
how exactly does that use different muscles?
but switch feels WEIRD man. haha, I do see the logic though. ^ the back foot takes more of the bumps I think, is what he's getting at.
@@WatchDoggyDog ah i see
@@WatchDoggyDog Yeah it is, but the more comfortable you get at it, the easier it is to switch stance and ride way more comfortable. It is a night and day difference when you can stop being frozen in just one stance for 30 minutes to an hour or however long you are riding. Both legs take plenty of impact of bumps, but it is the frozen stance that will kill your legs.
a perfect board for you with great speed, range, with cloud wheels, and especially KICKTAIL......the Onsra Challenger. YOU NEED TO GET THAT BOARD ASAP
That would be cool!
I wish I can find group here but 😥 nope
I rode my mini around DC in group ride last year and it was great for getting in and out of traffic. I’ll have to try to make it up there again this summer now that your getting at it. Maybe do a collab of minis in DC….😂😂
Oh fosho
I’ve had my XR for over half a year now and I love it. I might think about upgrading to an EUC or eBike though when the time comes
I've been having a ton of fun on the bikes, but not as much as boards!
cringe
Cringe
Ayyyy. I am based in Quantico for another month. Want to go on a ride sometime?
Absolutely! I try to hit up esk8dc group rides when I can
Would watch Onewheel content. Personally I'd avoid the new ones, get an XR and mod it for tricks. Been a sub for a while, gone through two Exways, one GTR which I still run and Onewheel XR. The XR is most like skating for me in a weird way, because of the trick potential, the ability enjoy slower rides and no remote. The GTR is commuter/rally car sort of ride for me, the XR is for parking block sessions, little airs and drops.
How about pintx?
@@RonnieSarmiento that would be my second choice after the XR, Float Life did a really good video comparing the two boards for tricks. Don't worry you're still my favourite eskate channel ;)
Great seeing you out there. My videos will be posted in three parts starting next Wednesday.
Looking forward to it!
❤️🧡💛💚💙 DAAANNGGGG…….
Another fantastic video!!
Thank you!
how are you not all about EUC yet? It's all the best things about e-bikes and all the best things about esk8
I like skating
@@RonnieSarmiento did you try it though?
@@RonnieSarmiento You do have a bike, I have a background in longboarding too
Yes I tried it, fun, but not enough for me to switch from either bike or board
The energy in this video was amazing! Fun 🤩
Sadly no group in Omaha, NE. going to try and create one myself
Nice to see you riding ! My backfire bas been stolen a month ago , I can’t wait to afford one again.
Sorry to hear that, Tom!
@@RonnieSarmiento thank’s, my friend’s car was forced and my board was in..😢
I had a onewheel but they are heavy as fuck. Commuting to city while carrying it? Nope
True, they are a bit cumbersome to carry
7:12 if you're wondering the song it's Caravane Palace - Lone Digger
This is basically me on group ride with my meepo mini 😂😂😂
lol, that board is fun tho!
Kicktail is underrated! 😂
Does an er make a difference ?
I'd like to get one of these, but for some reason it's not listed in the website anymore...
Yeah I'm good with my DIY and meepo hurricane. One wheels seem cool but distance and speed isn't there. I'd die since I'm in Philly and the roads are shit so the mini's are a no go. Where with my boards right now I'm at 45 and 35 while the speed is above 30+
Bad roads need bigger wheels. If only the whole world was as smooth as a skatepark
We are finding our rides in London becoming more scooter and EUC with fewer boards these days. Hardly anyone here rides a mini anymore
I see that too. Rides are getting longer and faster, making those better options
Awsome video Ronnie! Thanks for sharing
I wish there was a group here in bangor/ Brewer Maine
We have group rides every Friday night we are called DADESK8 in Miami FL great ride look like a lot of fun
I hope to ride out there someday!
@@RonnieSarmiento any time it would be an honor to have you in our group ride. Ride Safe 🙏
Onsra challenger not a mini… but an awesome inbetween
yeah I find not many skate anymore and most have moved on to the 30+mph bikes/scooters/euc. Sucks because I was hoping to whatever the next wave of short boards. I was hoping someone made a short board with cloud wheels :(
It's because the batteries don't last long enough, the skateboards are too heavy and there are more comfortable options available, like more of the longboard type skateboards. Although, to be fair, those can be a pain to control when you do not have a level road everywhere, most don't allow you to ollie up curbs. To be honest, I've given up on electric skateboards altogether. I can get a very decent e-bike or e-scooter for under $800, with a range that is like quadruple what most skateboards would have. And they tend to go for double the money. It's quite crazy. I mean, don't get me wrong. I understand how it's a niche market. But I can buy a literal car for that amount of money.
@@PHeMoX Believe me, I get it. I actually own an e-bike and am looking for my second one right now. I'm just saying it is sad that it is dying out because it was so much fun. So easy to dismount and just carry around if we stopped somewhere. I still ride my board all the time too. With the e-bike now I have to buy a hitch for my car and lift these 100lb behemoths around haha.
@@YourNameMyNameOurNames Thanks man I'll check that out! You get a W!!!

i wish no groups wish i could find one
If you ever come to LA. There's LAesk8 and LAPEV group rides every weekend.
I’ve seen! Looks dope
Screw OneWheel
Thank u for thr video, I want to know please where I could find a helmet like yours?
this is a thousand helmet
GET A ONEWHEELLLLL ISS FIREEE
Bustin Yoface is the best short electric board with kicktail
I’ve tried it, it’s great
Min. 8:34... best part ❤️
You guys have a group for the meet ups? Been watching your channel for awhile no idea your in the DMV. I'm out here in Tysons.
yeah check out esk8dc and dcesk8 on IG
@@RonnieSarmiento will do thanks man
Ronnie Sarmiento is dope AF🖤
Too bad skitching doesn't regen the battery!
actually you can if you lightly hold the break throttle. i do that all the time when i tow other riders and they brake.
Having owned an exway wave that has given me nothing but problems, it’s sad since I know so many people with scooters that never have any problems. Seems like as a whole the industry couldn’t get a low cost high quality board like the scooter industry did so it’s gonna die.
Personally looking for a replacement in the long term
What issues did you have with the exway wave? Are they known to have lots of issues usually?
@@trentbosnic Battery issues all the time. Sometimes it just won’t turn on (I think the battery management system doesn’t understand that the batter is charged), paring issues, and some random “low temp”warning that literally bricked the board’s breaks while I was going 30 km/h on the board
@@cxjcole That's terrible, especially the braking issue. Such a shame because Exway has a good reputation among the budget boards, I know Meepo is dodgy as well. I just bought a Tynee mini 2, Tynee seem to only positive reviews at this point. Will see how it goes.
Surprised you don't have an onsra challenger. For me it was between that and zeus. Ended up buying zeus from a local esk8 youtube celeb
Nice! Which group are you in?
@@RonnieSarmiento NYC! Come on up here! May 1st is a group ride if weather is looking good. It'll be my first one
Pier 76 at 1
Hey Ronnie, I live near the DC area, whens the next e board group ride?
Not sure yet, check out esk8dc and dcesk8 on ig...i guess me too lol
@@RonnieSarmiento lol, Hope to see you out there someday
I was in the video it was a good ride my friends Onewheel died too
Yo! The dude who’s board you said you’d carry?
@@RonnieSarmiento yeah it’s ended up working out we made it home he had to walk like half a mile to get to chicken and whiskey
Get a pintX!!!!!
Stop giving me ideas!
Yes to OneWheel! What an awesome group ride! I'm too intimidated to ride my onewheel in a group ride, but hopefully, one day!
nice video!
Thank you, Lemon!
Another dope video!!!
Thanks pare! You gotta let me try out the onyx sometime!
cloud wheels do it for me...
I was a hater, but they aint bad!
@@RonnieSarmiento I don’t think I’ve seen you do a blog about cloud wheels! Maybe you should consider?
Why don't you have a Onewheel?
Get out of the budget boards bs
Tbh don’t like em enough
so mean man. nothing wrong with a cheaper short board, although the Phantom is higher end. onewheels aren't as portable as boards. can't throw one of them to charge behind a seet at the movies ;)
@@RonnieSarmiento sk8 er die! yea they look pretty wonky tbh, lol 👏
@@WatchDoggyDog not being mean, didn't look like Ronnie actually enjoyed the ride of the board and have range anxiety the whole time? I had a backfire...I know the feeling
Ronnie said his feet were feeling it at the Air and Space museum even before he even got to the Capitol, they only started at the Lincoln.
@@RonnieSarmiento fair, what is your board that you would grab out of your arsenal that allows you to relax and flow when riding the city?
