I'm looking at videos wondering about buying a OneWheel. I own a modified Crazy Cart and gotta agree - RANGE changes everything. I was only able to get ~5km and never really had lots of fun on it, never explored. Eventually bought a battery that did 20km/charge and off I went exploring, commuting, taking long sunset drives along the coast. It changed everything. Consider learning how / paying for interchangeable batteries or a backpack battery - whatever you need to get more range. Happy riding everyone!
I love how the Pint is so much more agile and squirrelly then the XR when it comes to carving. After my first year with it I noticed my range dropped from 12km on average to 6-8km. As soon as I brought my psi up to around 35 though, I started getting sixteen kilometres on it! I’m a pretty big dude, and I often push it to the limit too, averaging 27-30kmh for most of my ride. I by no means take it easy on my pint, but it still holds up amazing. So if you’re having range troubles, try increasing your tire pressure, it was a simple solution that helped me and now my board is able to make even tighter turns. This being said, it is a little more difficult now to balance at a stand still on it.
@@ShinyRare it’s pretty difficult to balance on it at a complete standstill and it is definitely more wobbly when riding, so not ideal for trails, but I’m pretty sure the tire can handle up to 60 psi? Don’t quote me on that, but it should say on the tire itself.

My sentiments exactly! I love my Pint but I shall complement it with the next version of an XR whenever it is released! Owning both is no doubt the ultimate!😁🙏🏾
@@JakeBlackstaffe So like yourself I started with the Pint, and I love it. I grew up skateboarding so to me the Pint was like the perfect size for something like this. But I was feeling the range anxiety and bit of fomo, so I caved and picked up an XR. It took a bit, but honestly I pick up the XR more now. At first if felt really big and less refined, but the more I ride it, the more I just love it. It just feels solid and like it's got my back, if that makes sense. Like a tried and trusted kind of feel to it. I don't ride any faster so it's not about the speed, but it's just such a great board. That said I pick em both up often enough. To boot around the block, pickup the mail or go grab something from the store the Pint is perfect due to its size and nimbleness. It's nice to not lug the XR around if you're running errands. So yeah, long story short. My go-to is the XR, but the Pint hasn't lost its place by any means. I fully suggest having both!
Oh by the way, 10km does sounds like it's on the low end. So it could be your speed. I've come close to getting 20kms range on a charge riding around 18-19km/hr. I try to give myself a bit of a buffer before pushback speeds. Typically I think I'm getting 16-17km range on average. Couple things you may or may not have checked. Check your PSI (should be 10x your body weight) and your riding mode. I think Skyline will drain the battery faster so you could try Pacific. Maybe try to rebalance your cells by leaving it plugged in for 24hours or whatever they recommend and I've also swapped my tire with a Burris x Float Life Xtra Rad tire and I think that also helps to squeeze a little more range. Great vids man. Cheers from Ontario!
After 3 months riding (around 450 miles) I find my distance just dropped drastically. So I decided to do a test run. Today was my first test. A lot of parameters, but in a nutshell I went 9.6 miles using Redwood. With gear the weight was 196 lbs, 20 psi. I used to get at least 10 and near 12 miles in the early days. The other day, I didn't even get 5 miles. But that was a lot of grass riding, and tech practice. My next attempt will be the same track using Pacific. I believe one of the things that has effected my distance, however has been my riding style. I ride more aggresive, and don't ride Redwood anymore.
I'm in a similar boat having had the pint for a year. I'm just now starting to realize I'm have a better time if I just drive to a location and float from there. Have you checked out the 3rd party battery upgrades? I get the lower end of the range too, and I think it's mostly a function of weight and speed. I way a bit over 200lbs and I expect most riders closer to 150lbs are getting closer to the upper limits of range. But if you look at stuff like the chibatterysystems quart or other upgraded batteries, you can get XR-like range on your pint for $400 instead of going all-in on the XR. From what I'm seeing this is the best way to go value-wise. XR range + pint weight and portability is the best of both worlds for several hundred dollars less than the XR. I'm an outlier in that I had the XR before I had the pint and sold it recently, keeping the pint. It was certainly more powerful and rode further, but I didn't feel like it was enough to justify being twice the price. I'm waiting now for an updated version of the XR to see if OW can bring more value to it. But right now it just feels too expensive next to EUC's for the same price with double the top speed and range.
@@JakeBlackstaffe They should be just as safe as the stock battery. Same voltage/current specs as the stock battery, and they use the stock BMS. They're just higher capacity. The only downside is that the app stops measuring battery % correctly. It'll read as 0% when you hit half-charge, so you have to go into board info and look at the voltage to approximate you're actual battery life/range.
@@janjaf844 $400 for a pint sounds like a good deal to me. A cheap way to get into onewheeling. Then if you decide you like it, you can figure out if you want to upgrade the battery or sell it and get a bigger model. The range on the pint is pretty limited, but especially when youre first starting out your feet tend to hurt before the battery gives out.
Wondering if it's worth it now in 22. I can buy a used one for just a bit under 200 miles for 400. Has no cover on the tire though. Do you think this is a good buy?
Nice video. I just got myself a pint and loving it so far. I feel like I caught on to riding it rather quickly. I'm going to use to cruise the trails geocaching. Cheers
Completely agree with range and the top speed, I know you can't have it all for half the price but it does get a bit annoying after a while. That being said, I really do love getting on it any chance I get and have over 800 miles on it, looking forward to changing the tire and also if they release an XR 2 or whatever it's called, just needs to be good enough to invest
@@JakeBlackstaffe Vamp N Ride. Simply put it's adding an external battery on the fender or in a backpack. Sonnywheels dot com. I added a 5ah battery and get about 20 miles now (220 lbs, I'd get more range if I was lighter).
@@JakeBlackstaffe Also, there is always battery replacement with the chibattery quart for OW pint. A little pricy but since it's only a battery swap, you keep your board looking stock unlike vnr. It'll get you 15 miles range. That said, vnr will get you more range so...both good depending on your needs/preferences. Chibattery.com
There is a Chibattery that you can buy that Let you have Double Range. For me Speed Is Good Enough For the Pint. The Push back I also like, because the Board telling the Rider to slow down or else you will Plant your Face on the Ground
Chi batteries has crappy installation. They don’t love the bird over so it gets pressed on. But jw batteries takes care of that and also has a chip so your battery gauge will work on the onewheel app
I'm a 15 year old that just wants a one wheel to go around my city and my 1 acre back yard and I think the pint is perfect for me but i do think the xr is better I dont have niether of them but I am saving up for a pint
@@davidrivera6465 I’m 16, I bought the pint. It’s a blast for the price. But if you can afford the xr I would splurge for that. I could really use the extra range but the pint is really fun. Also very fun if you can get a buddy to ride with.
If you use a fast charger it WILL drain battery. Also after one year of owning, buy a new wheel and a new battery. Since warranty runs out after a year.
I am thinking that being short and much lighter than a lot of electric board riders will really help the range if I take the leap! An electric scooter would probably be more sensible but Soooo tempted to get the pint instead. Not sure if I can get it to Europe though 🤔
@@JakeBlackstaffe the import duties. I'm going to see if I can get in touch with the tax authorities and clear it as for use in video (ie alternative to steady cam)
I bought mine in Sweden plus I know that England and Holland have a few retailers/distributors that ship throughout Europe too. So, you can avoid those extreme shipping charges from Future motion!
I agree... I have a xoiami m365 scooter and I have whanted an onewheel for 3 years now. I’m still stocked to have this electric scooter coz I’m 13 lmao but after a year the speed at 26k/h it feels like I’m just chilling and cruising along... my brother has the same scooter, prob put only like 30k on it and I’ve done almoast 200k and I can say I’ve really scuffed mine up abit taking it on drops, speed bumps and trails also crashing pretty badly last week but you know still love it to death... my brothers is also so much smoother haha
This deserves more views production quality is a 10/10
Thank you! Appreciate it, feel free to share it around :)

Is having the wheel at psi up to 35 safe? Let me know I wanna try so I can get more range.

how do u get 30 kmh on a pint lmao, its limited to around 25, even 27 is kinda crazy lol

Ya I have been wondering if the modes would help with range too. I ride Pacific
The Xr maintains the 18 mile range for about a year, after that I only get 12 miles. I don’t see a lot of people reporting on that.
Heavy use? Aka a lot of miles?
I think it has to due with using the board and the fact that when you first ride your not as aggressive

I have it but I should have gotten the xr because in the west there is a lot of chunky terrain
that makes sense
I love the fact that your pint is beat all to hell. Mine is basically the same and it was definitely a blast getting to that condition.
For sure! They are built like tanks! Only thing I'm more careful with is bad rain

The Best thing I've ever bought!!!
I am actually deciding weather or not to get a pint could you video a full ride just to see what it’s like

Great review...I agree with your points. I also have a pint
Thank you!
Super video.... Can't wait to do a group ride.... Once my arm fixes! Lol
Did you break it riding?
@@JakeBlackstaffe sadly yes but watching your videos is great preperation for a hasty recovery

In your opinion is it safe and a good buy?
Ya I do. If it's going to be your first EV. It's the best buy. If it's not your first theb you know what you want already Haha
Increase the air pressure in your tire. It might provide better range.
Ya iv done that :)
@@JakeBlackstaffe did it help? just out of curiosity
Yep it does a bit.
