I'm waiting to see 3rd party tire manufacture otherwise it's a deal breaker for me ( personally )

The riders that tested it say its great and then we find out it isn't. Can't trust riders that are close to FM. Remember how uncomfortable Sroh was at the pint release? Looked like he had a gun his head saying it was great

Hey Nancy, glad you like the videos!

Haha thanks. I stole that sign off from the Huberman podcast. Not sure if people will get the reference but it’s a great podcast

No, because that would be actually useful, like you know, wearing kneepads and arm guards for this test ^^

@@IIISentorIII shut up and worry about yourself

@@IIISentorIII Karen is that you 👀

The gt has more windings, the nominal voltage of both the xr and the gt is 62v ( correct me if wrong on the pressure ) so they both have the same available pressure but the gt has greater flow ( amperage ) due to more windings

With around 10 000 k on a cbxr I can say 100% that it has better torque than stock but it does NOT have more windings so the gt will have more torque than any xr molded or not ( unless somebody swapped for a motor hub with more windings )

Approx 21-22 degrees ~ 39% grade

@@JakeLeary boom. much appreciated

@@JakeLeary perfect, thanks. Also, impressive

They’re prototypes, they should be out in about 6 weeks

Curious, with your weight (I weigh a little less than 130lbs), do you see an increase in range compared to what they’ve advertised?

@@ChristianSmith-ei8yp he certainly would get better range than most

@@Tactical_Taco yeah, my thing is that I’d also have a backpack with a bit of stuff, depending on distance, hyper charger, but that thing Is pretty big and heavy 😶

Why am I losing weight? One word: Range

I don’t think that the board can sense what grade you are on. It can sense that it is regen’ing but I don’t think it does much with this info. Not my area of expertise though, people who are working on VESC stuff know a lot more than me

@@JakeLeary Ah that makes sense. I know it can track elevation gain/loss through GPS but likely not what grade you're on. It's good to be aware of though as I would have had no idea about the warranty clause. Thanks for the great videos. Happy and safe riding!

@@patricks7242 just a tip cause I often forget- you usually have one already with you but don't know. Use your phone's level app

The GT footpads are wider, but because they taper in you get an area to stand in that’s narrower than XR. And because they’re concave you feel the edges more than Pint

im not jake but i do have a GT. one day in and i'd say, yeah, it has a ton more power. not sure i can verify 50% but it's a much more powerful machine

@@duster8373 I have about 80 miles on my GT and yeah it’s a brute. I let an XR rider jump on it today, and his eyes just went big! It’s dramatic

@@duster8373 thank you a lot for your reply

That graph they show in the release has been rubbished in the nerd groups

Yeah these are prototypes, should be out in a month or two hooefully

I'm new to OW got the GT and was trying to go up small grass hills but I end up just digging the nose into the slope. Happened to me yesterday. Is this why riders add those small wheels in the front?

Yes. Especially if you drop pressure. Pint has a smaller tire in general. If you don't have one, you might not see it in the films, but it's quite a difference. Pint is a wobbly little machine. I still like it, but it's not my favourite.

I used Highline and Mission. I didn’t try elevated because it was the lack of power/torque that was stopping me, not the nose hitting. That would be a good one, but for this video I wanted to take skill out of it and just test the power of the motor

@@JakeLeary now that you’d had the GT for a few days, would you suggest that someone buy the GT, if they have the XR. I have had my XR for about 2-3 years, unbreakable board…GT look cleaner but also looks more fragile; also I love doing nature trails.

@@davids3312 I think the fragility is just due to assembly mistakes in this first run, and they’ll fix those mistakes under warranty. I don’t know enough about your riding to make a proper recommendation but I should have a full review of GT up in a couple weeks

The first hill climb I took the same line every time. The second hill I took various lines

Yep! Prototypes. They’ll hopefully be out in 6 weeks or so

Honestly can be dangerous if it gets stuck and stays engaged and the rider physically can’t get off the board, because if they try to jump off the board can accelerate full speed once they deweight enough

@@JakeLeary yes sir.. I still half kickflip my xr when I stop out of habit often... lost my very first onewheel due to ghosting

This board was not CB, but the torque / hill climbing of XR vs CBXR should be the same at full/high battery

@@JakeLeary the cbxr is wired in series parallel and has greater continuous amperage ( about 30 amps ) and more cells, it climbs much better than stock. Voltage is pressure amperage is flow.. think of it like filling a bucket with water from 2 liter bottles.. the stock xr is let's say 4 bottles available to "pour" ... the cbxr is more like 6, and so bucket fills faster ( just random picked numbers for explanation purposes, but I'm sure you get my point ) ... try it out, ive both a stock board and a cbxr and I can tell you for sure the cbxr climbs better. Respectfully intended.

Yes. You can only by used ones.

What would be a good enough reason? If range isn't it and torque is also not a good enough reason, what would a board have to offer? I'm genuinely curious, because those two were mine. Speed is out of the question because of California law. They are not allowed to make this kind of vehicle faster.

@@offroadskater I am a small 55Kg guy, maybe thats why the XR is powerfull enough for me. I like it light and a squishy wheel what the GT with the bigger rim cannot offer. Would appreciate more range but not for the cost of a heavier board.

@@WarHog4ever Sad thing. I think I need to get one before they are completly gone from the shops. 😥

@@freerideziege6047 Then maybe the Cbxr will solve any range problems for you, if your board allows it and you can continue using your XR. I kind of envy you. I'm not the heaviest guy either, but I feel my XR struggling uphill. My wife at 52kg just flies by on ascending trails, while my board stutters. I need more torque. Also 11km on trails is just very limited. Unfortunately the cbxr doesn't work on my board. So, bye bye 6000 Euros for 2 boards for me then.. Still worth it.

Board shake like when you’re standing on it stationary and take turns pushing the nose and tail down?

Where’d you hear about this? Great news for light weight guys like myself haha

@@JakeLeary I forget, stoner innit, maybe just a joke but it sounds very FM eh and I didn't read it as a definite joke haha. Happy Friday Jake
