  • Hello everyone!
    I've been meaning to publish this video for a while now and Onewheel itself just announced the #OnewheelChangedMyLife contest. This gave me all the motivation I needed to finally pull through.
    This is the video that reflects this journey so far. I want to thank ‪@Onewheel‬ for creating such an incredible product.
    I want to thank ‪@TuckerDoss‬ for doing such an amazing video, without him, I would have never started my own journey.
    I also want to thank ‪@SirWrender‬ for all the amazing Onewheel content he made over the years.
    I hope you enjoy this video as much as I have.
    And YES! I want to ride all the way to Uruguay! Are you down ‪@Onewheel‬ ?
    Gabriel

    Yeahhhhhh your 3 goals are fantastic! When I started my floatlife there were barely 50 onewheels here in uk, the US riders all said "make a group and they will come". And it worked! We are at over 460 members across the middle of England, meeting across our area, connecting with groups outside of our area, and now enjoying weekends away together too! It's been the most wonderful journey to here, connecting with beautiful people here and all over the world, such as yourself, this incredible device bringing us together as a true community. Thanks for sharing your floatlife bro, and thanks for sharing the stoke so fantastically with all. Can't wait to see what adventures you will have next!

    Sounds like my journey with Onewheel. Started on a XR and rode it 1k miles until the PintX came out. Now at 57 I’m on a GTS because nothing matches the feel of a Onewheel carving. Once you learn how to deep carve and get that feeling, your life will change too.

    i bought pint few years back and did 1k kilometers without helmet, as i got used to it i started to push its limits on speed and corners, with zero protection i made it to 1k and sold it with zero injuries only few little ones, after that i discovered there was 4 casualties with onewheel, me without helmet and extreeme mindset could have been one, now i own etwow electric scooter and it is way faster, safer and with longer range, for daily casual use, ofcourse onewheel will catch everyone's eye but i love to stay unnoticed

    Love your video and great story!I started on electric longboard and had an electric scooter for commuting. However, the ultimate PEV is an electric unicycle you should try one especially having the right to repair and can go some crazy distance compared to your OW. If not your style get a floatwheel which is better on a vesc board and you have the right to repair instead of sending back to Santa Cruz, CA.

    You didn´t buy a scooter with suspension and more range as it was expensive, yet proceeds to buy a OneWheel which is mostly more than most of the high end scooters... I have both a high end scooter and a boosted board but i am looking into getting a OW GT... i borrowed a friends Pint X for a week and was hooked but i am selling my scooter and longboard first, no reason to have those just taking space in my home if i am not using them. Hopefully 2024 is the year i will be riding my own OW GT..

    • @p0rtugeek
      @p0rtugeek  8 місяців тому

      I should have explained that the cost of the OW was cheaper than those scooters in Argentina. The board + shipping + taxes was still about $500 less than high end scooters here and I did not trust scooter brands with their own shipping. As of today, some can be found at a cheaper price here though but I'm already hooked to the OW format.

      @@p0rtugeek range, speed, practicality. The fact that you can mod your PEV without fear of it being bricked by the manufacturer. Etc etc. once you go EUC you never go back. In the last year I’ve seen about 18 One Wheelers try EUC and once they learned how to ride it they sold their Onewheel. I promise if you ever make the switch, you will thank yourself like those other riders do.
      One Wheel was great 3 years ago. Unfortunately with the terribly awful customer “service” from futuremotion and the Onewheel being by far the weakest PEV, it is becoming a relic of the past.
