I'm a pint rider of 1300 miles. I tried an XR one time very briefly on open pavement. Can definitely tell the difference in turning right away, and while the acceleration felt the same, the XR clearly has higher speed limits. On the pint you feel the pushback aggressively fight you starting at 15mph, but you can "Captain Morgan" stance it to push it faster, I've gotten the pint up to 20.2mph before but if you hit even a small dip at that speed you risk the motor cutting out. But with the XR you can just push it right up to 20 before feeling any pushback. That extra power sensation felt nice but not nice enough to justify spending double what I paid for my pint. Plus, something about the big wooden pads of the XR bugs me. Anyway, great video man.

I got to try an XR for the first time a couple of days ago and I think you missed out on one aspect of it. After riding over 1200 km on a Pint, I immediately disliked the feel of the XR. Too big, a little less "zippy", less maneuverable (even with a Hoosier Slick tire). However, as soon as I rode off the pavement, it was incredible! So stable and comfortable on grass and trails. I take my Pint on trails pretty often but I have to deflate the heck out of the tire and that means I only get about 7 or 8 km of range. And it still feels sketchy on grass and gravel. On the XR, grass was barely an inconvenience and I could go as fast and carve as deep as I wanted to without worrying about eating it. Not to mention having all the range you would want before your feet fall off! In my opinion, that's the real strength of the XR. I would still use my Pint for sidewalk surfing, but the XR is on another level on the trails. Keep up the high-quality content, and find some trails! Still super fun on a Pint :)

Keep up the one wheel videos, really enjoyed the comparison video here, along with your Pint introduction video - Just picked mine up last month and felt exactly the same way! I know you linked your gear in that video but it would be fun to hear how you use it, etc.

Great vid! The lack of maneuverability you felt gets a lot better after getting a bit more experience on the board but more importantly, after breaking in the tire. Brand new ones like that have sharp corners that make it really hard to turn.

the quality of the videos is amazing, keep up the good work! love it.

Great video! I 100% recommend getting the Quart, it's changed my riding experience ten fold. The install process is quite straightforward especially following their video, there are only 3 challenging aspects that I encountered. 1) Removing the T30 screws (these are really tough to loosen). I recommend getting quality tools for this, or even better, go to a mechanic or a friend (what I did) who has these and is used to working on equipment like this. 2) Make sure you buy a 'Five-point bit set Tamperproof', you'll need this to open the battery housing. It's not your regular 6 point key, and it's not just a 5 point, it's gotta have the the little dimple inset. Double and triple check you're getting the right one, they're quite hard to find, most people get theirs online cause they're not widely available from your local store (for the Aussies: you can find them at Supercheap Auto). 3) Putting the o-ring back on, as mine was stretched. It takes a lot of patience, as it might not want to sit inside the channel anymore. While the o-ring is (somewhat) sitting in the channel, gently go around the channel, pushing the o-ring to outside edge of the channel, therefore creating a slightly larger area for the o-ring to sit in. This took me like 5 mins but it's critical because it keeps water out. Once you've got it sitting inside the channel, close that puppy up and the hard part is over. Hope that helps someone, and good luck!

Gotta wear pants man! I ride pint 600 miles with no fender 100%. I love the look personally and i hate when things get clogged in the fender. It's a much quieter smoother ride without gunk in the wheel like leaves, dirt, mud and other road debris. Regarding the maneuverable stuff and form factor....everything is completely customizable. I would say the XR is the most versatile, customizable board to this date, even after the release of the two new ones. I strongly believe your experience was just a rough first one...I had similar my first time too. But then i met a guy and his wife who had custom boards and the ride on their XR was impeccable...like...a quantum leap in fun and riding experience overall and it made the pint feel like i was only getting about 30% of the onewheel experience. I actually never enjoyed my pint quite the same. Ignorance is truly bliss. lol...Their boards were completely badgered, waterproof, upgraded rails, hoosier tire, different pads on top and back cushioned and swag in everyway you can imagine...it was then, when i realized...the XR is the way if you want to experience EVERYTHING onewheel. Loved your video bro! Keep making content and your views, and subs are sure to measure up to what you deserve :D

Dude I live in the Atlanta area as well. Been checking out your vids man. I am seriously contemplating buying one of these. I think you’ve sold me on it dude! Thanks for the awesome content! 🍻

I loved the dramatic music drop on you gently starting it up for the first time 😂

Thanks for vid! I've started with Pint too (1.5k over 1 year). Now I'm riding Pint X and it feels a lil more agile and +2mph really does matter - my minpin dog couldn't overrun me anymore ). I'm still waiting for GT - round tire, top range, top speed, SimpleStop feature (yes, I like it and use it 99% of the time) - my dream comes true. +Agreed, the fender is a must have accessories, unless I don't get the trend of Onewheel community, driving basically by XR owners (the same is true about the SimpleStop feature).

I like the thought put into your reviews. Very good, honest, real world thoughts(and funny). Good luck with the channel! I have a pint as well...WITH a fender! I totally share your views there...rocks water..grrr. FM should really include them...it does ring of nickel and diming the consumer and I think they do just that, without care or worry.

Great video as always Richard, I had an almost identical experience the first time I hopped on an XR. Also started and still ride on a Pint and I got really used to the rounded tire and punchy acceleration, so my first time on the XR was a new learning curve for sure!

Solid video, impressive editing and great shots. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I’m a pint rider thinking of switching to an XR. I definitely think it’s important to test one out before making a final decision. Best of luck with your channel. float on

Dude. Good video and good honest information. I watched both this video and you learning how to ride the pint. I want to buy a one wheel so bad but wasn’t sure which one to get. Your videos helped a lot. Thanks

What do you do for a living 😂. Just bought a pint x and in my vast youtube exploration, I stumbled across your channel and not gunna lie, kinda digging it 😂. Every video though its like bought a onewheel, bought an euc, bought a uni, bought a house, flying to cali, going back day after day to learn to ride the uni. So again what do you do for a living that you make enough money to buy all of these things and still have so much free time.

Hi Richard. Just wanted to make sure you were informed that all glasses, sunglasses included, come in sizes and that you can demand a pair that fits your head instead of covering the entirety of it.

Great vid! I love seeing those thing on the street, there’s one dude that has one at the park my wife and I go walking at in Chicago and all I think is that is so cool. Ride safe and be safe. Dan C.

“I have so dirt in my shoes and in my legs” what a flower 🌸!!! Better you make reviews of best cleaning products and how to make a bed

Your videos are so highly produced! Subscribed!

LOL - Rocks in your shoe. I went through that in the first week of getting my XR. Then I was convinced that I needed a Fender ... but which Fender?? I rode a borrowed OW at a meetup one day. We rode mostly on grass. As I was riding, a small branch got stuck between the wheel and the fender. I spent 5 minutes trying to get it out as it then wedged itself between the wheel and the board. At that moment I knew that I wanted a Mag Fender - easy pop off and on. I'm with ya - Get A (Mag) Fender!! 😄🤙 (I am not associated with Craft & Ride)

Increase the psi on the XR tire and you’ll increase it’s control.

Pint may be ok if you are a light weight but a full grown big dude needs an xr. I wasted money trying the little girl pint and almost broke her.

The fender comments made me laugh great video man

Good video, I just watched the pint video and this is a good comparison!

I love these videos. The quality of your content doesn't currently match the amount of subscribers you have lol; I feel like you should have a lot more. Just keep up the grind my dude, and I'm sure your hard work will pay off.

Got a used pint earlier this year, loved it despite its downsides (lower range, lower stability). I figured I would look at upgrading after next year to a GT or Floatwheel but then a deal I couldn't refuse on a 4209 XR ($50 more than I paid for my Pint) came up, so now I have both. I feel like I was spoiled a bit by how easy the Pint and its stock tire is to turn and carve, now I have to learn to do them more proper on the XR to get tighter turns and carves, it has a Burris treaded on it. Will probably sell the Pint, can't justify keeping it around getting dusty just for a ride once every few weeks. The XR is just better on our crappy roads.

Nice comparison impressions. Agreed on the fender need. Just got a Pint X and also getting the GT. The stability factor I'm looking forward to in the GT.

Thanks for the content man. I get my Onewheel pint x tomorrow or Thursday. I can’t wait 😜

good production quality! :-)

It’s weird that as someone who lives in Glendale CA, and is considering which one wheel to buy, this video is perfect for me… thank you! Def gonna get a fender tho.

BTW I watched this whole damn video and never saw anyone launching anything into the ocean LMAO you got me there man... Touche

This is very much a review from a casual OneWheel rider's perspective. It's a bit hard for me to fully connect with some of the sentiment as a long time enthusiast. The range is by far the worst thing of Pint that makes it a poor choice. The maneuverability is not going to be that different for a truly seasoned rider. My son first rode OneWheel at 5 years old preferred Pint because it's easier to turn. But once he turned 8, he asked me to move him to XR for more sensitive footpad sensor and faster speed. Rich mentioned he rode Pint for 3 hours on Pint and still have 20% battery. He must be riding incredibly slow or taking lots of long breaks. I do definitely agree on fender. I can never understand my OW buddies who insist riding without fender even on wet grounds that got their shoes and pants soaking wet. Pint is still plenty of fun if you really can't afford an XR or really need to save the extra money. But if you can afford it, just spend a little more money buying a used XR rather than a new Pint or Pint X.

Nice video. I'm looking at a Onewheel in my hopefully near future. Been debating between a pint and an XR. I think I'm gonna do at least one rental before I buy to make sure I don't make a big mistake, but the more videos I watch, the more I think I'll be good with a pint.

It's the vega tire. It's crap and rocks sticks to it and shoots it up. Once I changed tire to hoosier it's much better. More round and carves like the pint but still stable and rocks don't stick to it so less pebbles shoot up. But for wet days you would still need a fender.

I absolutely love your input/ views. This video was a great watch. Awesome job. Are you buying a GT?

I love the stability of the XR. The Pint is too small for me, All One-wheels need finders. Are we not civilized? Just got back from a weekend at he beach. I suggest riding only at low tied on the flat hard beach. Fun at first, but I would hit pockets of unstable sand and nosedive. If I had done these nosedives in the street I would really be hurting. I didn't like the beach surface that much. After 10 miles and 5 nosedives I gave it up. Great video, keep making them. subscribed ;^)

Look at how many ppl on the beach are walking, and you passing them on a onewheel 🤔I just feel like EVERYONE should be riding a ONEWHEEL lol.

Have you ever seen the movie grandmas boy? Im happy to see your doing well jp. Lol Nice videos man. Keep up the good work .

Awesome video

great video, thanks for the comparison. I wonder what your thoughts are on the Pint X...

smol Adam Driver prefers Pint.

Hey man really like your videos so far hope you haven't given up on the channel! Question where'd you get the jacket? Just got my xr today and I went a bit too hard and I'm in some pain, but i think i got the basics down. I live next door to you in Alabama, so another question I have is are you gunna wear the jacket during the summer? Or just pads? Anyway, I appreciate the videos and like mindedness. Hope you keep it up.

No beaches?🤔🤨😏

What mode were you using on the XR? I found the regular mode difficult, but the loose as hell delirium to be much nicer

Did I somehow miss you “launching the XR into the ocean”?! Wtf

Good work👍

if you ever find yourself in Utah, hit me up and we can float downtown SLC

hey bro how are you ? i didn't know about the renting of oneWheels if you don't mind me asking how was the process of renting one ? is it a hassle? how much did you pay for the rental of the XR? And how long did it take for you to get it?

Met a cute girl that rides an XR. Gonna try it tomorrow. I've been coveting a Onewheel for years.

I wish I could go 7.2 miles and still have 66%. My fat ass would be at 50% or lower on an XR

If you want to not have the hassle of renting one you should invest in a Onewheel bag, although it’s not the most comfortable thing it makes it a lot easier to get through tsa

I want his jacket LOL. What is that?

GT?

Subbed...nicely done.

been thinking about getting a Onewheel XR, I really enjoy your commentary style and the comparison of the two models, the one big takeaway for me, Don't be a fender offender! Keep up the good videos

I would wear gloves before a jacket with pads. The first thing that hits the pavement first is your hands.

I want an xr for group rides.

GoPro Max ... pls :)

Ayyeee 🙃 what's good.

What's your favorite spot to ride in Atl?

6:21 is that a #DEERBRA lol

DONT BUY A QUART BATTERY IF YOUVE GOT 5059 FIRMWARE OR LATER save yourself some big money

cracking video Richard, I have both XR & Pint an love them both for pretty much most of the reasons you mentioned, 💯 Agee Re the fender 👍. Would love to know a bit more about how you put together such a video, I can only aspire to be as good as this, but love playing at it. Can I ask you how long it took you to shoot such a video and then edit it? What camera/audio equipment did you use and what editing software,many questions I know but this old boy needs all the help he can get 😀. I currently have two GoPro 9,s a wireless mic and small directional mic, many other camera accessories to suit all different situations(tripods etc.) even a Wiral lite cable system! So all the gear no idea!!! I struggle getting my head around how to plan shooting without it taking all day all week etc. Just to put together a shortish video for KZfaq arts your secret or do I just have to accept it takes a very long time to learn and shoot such a great video as you’ve done here!!!!? Right I’ll stop talking now and hopefully get some tips from you when you’ve got time, many thanks Gary

Nice video, but "I need to helmet up."
