Onewheel GT-S Series Range Test & Board Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- I finally had time to conduct a range test on the new Onewheel GT-S Series Rally Edition board. The ride was from Union Square Park in Manhattan to the Flatlands in Brooklyn. I did not adjust the way I ride during this test. I weigh 282 lbs. I pumped the tire up to 31 PSI which is probably not recommended, however, the pressure works well for me and I want the best range I can possibly get.
During this time I rode a total of 14.2 miles, reaching my home with 14% battery life left. With the juice I had left I could probably muster out another 2-3 miles without the board shutting off on me.
This board can certainly handle commuting longer distances. I don’t see myself riding more than the distance I did on this trip unless it’s on a group ride, and when that’s the case I definitely will have a hyper charger on me.
This has been a great experience testing this board and getting to know its capabilities. I’ve already leveled up a lot, gaining more confidence each time I hop on my board.
The decrease in range may be a con, but it isn’t a big enough one to deter me from purchasing the board again. The price is really the biggest con to the board. It is expensive. But hobbies cost money and the more you participate, the more you enjoy it.
Would I recommend this to the average rider? - If the price is within your budget, then I’d highly recommend it. I wouldn’t go into debt for it. The other models are incredible boards as well. But… This is a big upgrade. I have noticed the change in performance significantly. The smaller hub, the increase in power and improved stability from the rails, makes the ultimate Onewheel experience.

I need to learn how to do time stamps, but If you’re interested in the review part, it starts at 31:24
what camera set up are you using with the follow cam??
@@Casey_EI’m using the @insta360 X4 for my riding cam and for the end, talking to the camera, I’m recording on a Sony a6400!
I rode a GT for a summer and man do I love that range. Now I’m in the market again.
The range is the main thing holding me back from the GTSR but I think if I paired it with a hyper charger it would take away some range anxiety.
Another 1300 bucks and less range but higher top end speed and more torque may just be worth it.
Absolutely. I have the hyper charger and it makes a world of a difference. The GTS is just so powerful. I don’t think I could go back to the GT as a main board. It’s made a big difference in my ride experience. But no doubt it was tough to bite the bullet when buying it.
I have a regular GTS and I usually get between 20-23 miles of range. However, I usually cruise at around 15-17 mph. I have gone 20mph a couple times but I am too scared to go faster. You will most likely get a lots of range if you keep your speed slightly under 20 mph and it also won't start trying to slow you down like a regular GT would start doing at those speeds.
SOME ONE SPONSER THIS MAN!Dude I had fun watching this not only do i want a board now but you took me on a tour of NY city thanks bruv 🤙 they a bit expensive here in S.A so I'm doing the Rollerblade thing,but if manage to get a board I'll let U know and take U on a tour of my city U should be sponsored for this kinda content✌️
I’d love that! I’ve never been to S.A. so I’d love to get a tour through the eyes of a local!
I did apply for Onewheel’s Flow Team which I think is their sponsored rider team. So fingers crossed but I should look into other brands that I vibe with and reach out to them. Thanks for the encouragement and support! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Love the vid. Really boost my confidence in getting onto the streets more
Thanks dude! Street riding isn’t too bad! Stick to bike lanes and to the flow of traffic. Once you start getting more confident you can get a bit more aggressive with your riding. But always do what you’re comfortable with! Safety is the most important aspect of riding!
I just got a GTSR last month. It’s my first board. I’m practicing as much as I can. One day I would love to ride it like you do. Keep OW videos coming Bro.
Yooooo congrats dude! What a great board to have as your first board. 🙌🏾 It’s a monster! You’ll get there, just keep riding and putting in the miles. Have fun and keep floating! 👊🏾
watching you ride is so relaxing! it makes me so excited to use my pint x :)
Thanks so much! And awesome profile pic! I played rugby in high school and college! Such a great sport. 🤙🏾
Bro, you're a good rider, navigating these NYC streets with traffic. I'm impressed. Keep it coming. Also,
Please share where you got the merch. Dig it.
Thanks for the support! 👊🏾 The shirt is dope right? Made by Float Gang!

I will wait until it finish uploading to 4k, I did hit the like button.
Should be able to view it in 4k now!
@@tswizzainstill 1080p for me :( . Love the video tho!
@@MikeAVudamn! Sorry about that! I compressed it in 4k. Idk why it isn’t uploading in 4k. At least it’s in HD! Thanks for watching! 👊🏾
Great vid. I love my Rally Edition. Worth every penny I spent. I too had to sell my GT to afford the GTS, but it was a great move 😊
Thanks so much! I couldn’t agree more; if I’m using it, then it’s worth it to me! It’s pretty wild how these boards change our lives!
THANK YOU BROTHA! 💯💯💪🏽😤
LOVED THE video and Def wouldn't mind getting one now that I've seen your range test my man
Thanks for the support my friend! Glad my video was helpful! 👊🏾
You're a great rider, congrats on the new board.
Hey thanks so much for the compliment! Appreciate your support! 🙏🏾
Hellz ya! Picking up the GTSR tomorrow. Keep spreading the stoke 🤙🏻
Ayyyyy let’s go dude! I hope you enjoy it. It’s been an awesome ride for me! 👊🏾
Well Done! Great explanation of the financial aspect of what board to purchase. I ride 13 PSI, TFL Pioneer, 180 LBS, and only get 13 Miles of range...
Thanks! 🙏🏾 I try and keep it as real as I can! It’s a dope board. You’d probably get more range if you rode higher. But that’s only really necessary if you want the added range. If not it doesn’t really matter. Comfort is key!
I appreciate the riding music!
No problemo!
The video I needed today!!
🤙🏾 Thanks for the support!
Awesome video! I just started riding onewheel picked up a used gt and it’s so much fun! Keep up the great content 🤘
Hey right on dude! Enjoy the ride and learning journey! It’s an epic board sport! 🤙🏾
Bro, great riding through New York which I enjoyed a lot! Would be nice to see your real time speed.. look into adding that to your videos
Thanks for the compliment and feedback, I really appreciate it!
I agree, I want to add that into my edit. However, when I try and screen record my speedometer, I always somehow end up clicking out of the screen and end up missing the metrics I’m trying to capture. I think it’s the fabric of my pants / shorts pocket that gets finicky with the touch screen. I gotta get a little pouch or something to carry my phone so I can add the real time metrics. Thanks I’ll add it to the next one! 👊🏾
Heck yeah!
Alright alright alright! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Love this! I’m too big for my Pint and want to upgrade to a Rally, hard to let go of that kind of money though. Your commute looks fun except that close call a few minutes in!😅 Great riding and thanks for posting!
Thanks for the compliments and encouragement! Yes it was a tough call but for me, definitely worth it!
awesome video, can’t wait to get a one wheel myself. May i ask what type of camera you were using for the ride? Thanks, keep up the awesome work
Thanks for the compliment! I’m already stoked for you when you get your first board!
I am using the @insta360 X4! It’s so legit. Such an awesome little camera!
@@tswizzain thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it
Makes me wanna shred the city so bad!
Come out dude! I’d love for you to experience shredding the city!
If you hold your camera pole on your shoulder and face it forward does camera image automatically remain level
The camera has 2, 180-degree, lenses on both sides of the body. It will do the best to capture everything within its hemisphere, but it’s up to the editor to shift and key frame the image so it’s leveled and viewable.
Great videos, as a heavier new rider myself it’s helpful hearing from others. Did you use simple stop their at the end? Are you turning it on for cursing distance? I just recently upgrade from GT as it was stolen to a GTS rally as well but havn’t had a whole lot of time to ride due to work.
Sorry to hear your board got stolen. People suck sometimes!
I do not use simple stop. I don’t really need it tbh. I typically just disengage one of the footpad sensors or I do a quick stop. Simple stop wasn’t around when I started learning to ride. I wish it did! It would have made learning that much faster.
The GTS is a pretty big game changer. I’m excited for you! Altogether you’ll feel so much more confident riding around. I’ve leveled up my riding already since I’ve upgraded. To me it was worth it. I’m happy I made the decision! Good luck to you and enjoy the ride! 👊🏾
@@tswizzain Thanks for the quick response, buddy. I've been trying to get the hang of the quick stop but not confident in it just yet. Still doing the heel lift. I did just get my Fender yesterday. Also, did a quick video on it. Kinda cool latch on it. Anyway, thanks again. Keep on sharing.
Nice right on! Fender is a game changer. No more street salsa! I’m waiting on my fender currently. Hope to get it soon! - The quick stop is cool and adds some style but yeah can be tricky to get the hang of. Try it on grass. That’s where I learned before trying it on street.

👍👍 video 🤙
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾👊🏾
If i understand clearly
The difference is comfort? And stability when u compared the regular GTS to the rally ?
The main differences are the 6” hub/tire and the rails. The 6” hub and tire definitely absorb more chunk and impact. It feels smoother to me.
The rails make me feel like I’m locked in and stable. Any approach I take: a drop, a bonk, a nudge, whatever it is, I feel very secure going for it.
The standard GTS still has that instant power. Internally they’re the same board.
Im a big guy and have been nursing a pint. Im ordering this in November, waiting to see if they give a black friday discount.
Right on dude! How do you enjoy the pint? I’ve contemplated many times buying one to have as a secondary board. But I’ve been unsure I could do it. It might feel like a downgrade and I’d be afraid I’d never ride it.
Never know, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that Black Friday sale! 🤞🏾
@tswizzain I'm over 40 and was slow about spending thousands of dollars on an add that popped up on accuweather for the onehweel so I bought a slightly used pint. Changed my life. It's OK for a bigger guy if you don't push it. Don't push it up hills and are OK with going slower. The regen is stronger than on the gt I rode. I'm going to get the wider footpads and keep my pint for guests to ride. Every time a person shows interest when I'm riding I stop and offer for them to try it.
Awesome. Do u think they will upgrade to a better battery for more range?
I’m not sure! I think the GT is pretty solid for range. And the fact that they sell modular pieces opens up the ability to piece together your own build. At least if you know how to put a board together.
@@tswizzain yea I seen the VOW Dragon slayer. I wanna build that board. Problem is I don’t kno where to find the build sheet for it.
Looking good 😊
Thanks!
$5,000 in my currency is not worth 14 miles. thats like 20km. it would be good for to and from work, but wouldnt even make it around our seawall here..
That’s fair. If you need that range then the GT is probably a better fit for you. The GTS is a nice upgrade but not necessary for all!
What's Your Weight?
Your GT-S only spitting 14 Miles
I’m 280 lbs. I pumped my tire up to 31 psi and got 14 miles of distance. Still had juice so realistically could probably get to 17 miles of distance.
@tswizzain
You Heavy for Your Horse.
Wow, You Need a Bigger Motor like Surron Electric bike or Something 🏍
@@norbelsemaj3870I’m a big boy but my board is doing just fine carrying me. Don’t really wanna ride anything else. Plus I’m working on the weight atm. Started running more and switching up my diet. Onewheel is just too much fun, I wouldn’t switch for anything else.
@@norbelsemaj3870
His ONEWHEEL should have V12
@tswizzain It looks like you're rocking a big ass backpack also. 🤔 It's easy to start cramping up if you accidentally pack too much. 😫 Also it takes legs of steel to not take breaks especially with extra packpack weight. 👍
you can't really be mad at the driver 3:05.. you have plenty of time to slow down man
True but I’m in the bike lane with a green light giving me the right of way. It’s the drivers responsibility to look out for oncoming traffic that they’re turning into. The driver didn’t have the right away.
