The Onewheel Pint X is a climbing machine and very nimble. Unlike a skateboard, scooter, or electric skateboard. The Onewheel will navigate through gravel, small rocks, sticks, grass etc.....I'm 54 years old and have put just over 400 miles on my Pint X. A life changing experience, I wake up seeking a new trail, or country road to explore and shred! The price is nominal for the experience the Onewheel provides!

Damn bro, you got me so good! I felt my dad anger welling up. I was like, no freaking way he just jumped on that board with a baby, and then filmed himself almost wiping out! Great video btw. Would also recommend wrist guards at a minimum. Personally I think knee/elbow pads are overkill, but those wrist guards will save your hands and wrists when that fall comes unexpectedly. Get that first fall out of the way, then you're good. You'll respect the board more and will be paying attention 100% all the time. Also, off-road riding will come with time and confidence in the board. I ride my pint on rough/smooth trails all the time with the stock tire. Once you do, you'll never want to go back to just riding pavement. Ride on and be safe!

The Pint X is my first Onewheel as well. I got it 3 days ago and accidently hit 20mph. It's extremely fun, but you are correct when you say it can be very scary. Anytime I hit 16mph or higher I have a huge fear of nosediving stuck in my head. I think I'll purchase those front fangs like you mentioned. Great review. I agree with everything you said.

Tks for keeping it real. I felt like I was the only one that had a hard time catching on. I also took a bad fall and ended up with 10 stitches on my 4th ride; I had on all the safety gear.. Now I always keep in the back of my mind that, I could fall. When I did get back on it my wife was scared, I was scared, but I took my time. Man I can't stay off this thing. My feet hurt and I still ride.

You’re definitely right about falling! I had mine for about 9 months before I had my first bad fall. Nothing broken, but definitely some and scrapes 😅

I hopped on a gt for the first time ever and it just made sense, however I skated since I was 12 and snowboarding since 14 so it just made sense, turning was a little dicey at first but my issue was I got too confident too quick, didn’t fall but I could see that being an issue, just respect the machine and you’ll be good to go physically, financially is a different story

Excellent video; thanks for posting. I just got a Pint X a few weeks ago. I had a regular Pint before that, however, someone broke into my truck and stole my board. Like you, I'm comfortable with a top speed about 10 to 12 mph. I also fly powered paragliders (PPG) and I have to admit that for me, riding a Onewheel is about as risky. Perhaps even more. Happy floating!

I've had a Plus and upgraded to a used XR when they launched the gt. Remember when you ride any single wheeled vehicle "It's not if you'll fall, it's when" And "Bail early and bail often"

I have a pint and pint x. Would totally recommend the pint x over the pint unless you really don’t plan on going any real distance. They are also very capable off road and it really isn’t necessary to get a GT for trails though it is superior, the pint and pint x will go practically anywhere. I’d also recommend getting the original pint front bumper so you can swap out the pint x front bumper to gain a 1/2 inch of clearance👍🏼

I just ordered mine! I am so excited!

I had the original pint for about 2 years and than I just bought the X 3 days ago. I only ever nose dived once and which definitely sucks and kinda discouraged me from riding again for a bit. But honestly the push back really helps to prevent it. I just wanted to go faster and didn’t listen to it.

Very good video. The best way to speed up the learning curb, is to get some elbow and knee pads and wrist guards. They will give you and increase of confidence which will allow you to relax, which in turn will allow you to ride better. And then if you do fall not only are you less likely to get hurt ( at all), you won't be hesitant to get back on because you will feel protected. This worked wonders for me and I am a 58 year old first time rider, and now have over 700 miles on my Pint X. Hope this helps, it really made a huge difference for me, and really fast. Good luck!!

I'm 28 and I got my pint a few weeks ago. For never having done any board sports in my life I suprisingly picked it up pretty quickly. I would hate to live anywhere other than Florida because the weather has been perfect for riding in the last few weeks so I have been on it every day. That being said I did have a pretty bad crash the other night when I hit an unseen bump at 12 mph that caused the board to go sideways and my body to continue going forward. I was able to run out a few steps but ultimately ended up on the pavement. Thankfully I was wearing my helmet and wrist guards but still landed on my left side pretty hard. Current can't lift my arm above my shoulder but its getting better every day. I hope you don't have to experience a bad crash but it's always smart to pad up just in case! Great video and hope to see more from you on the topic! Stay safe out there!

Strongly agree w/ the guard rail. I bailed on a toe side turn where I didn't turn tight enough and the board ran into some road curb sewer stuff and left a Deep Nasty scar on the rail guard. Also for decoration purposes too

I would recommend you get some knee and elbow pads as well as wrist guards. These were so crucial for me when I was learning as they gave me more comfort knowing that if I do take a fall I would be somewhat protected. I would also do some stretches before riding and honestly, go to your back yard, sit down and try to roll forward and backward a couple of times while you are wearing your helmet. Rolling immediately after a fall really helps to reduce the impact. It's a good idea to have a feel of what rolling is like and become more comfortable with it while geared up. Other than that. Enjoy the float it's super addictive 😃

Oh man, got me for second when you were prepping to ride with your kid 😅

Just received my Pint X-thanks to your fantastic review. Looking to get the same orange rail guards. Are they completely opaque?

I have the normal Pint and got it used back in July and I had a a pretty big crash. I considered it pretty bad and I nose dived. Had road rash all the way up my bicep and got a wicked scar. Looks pretty cool tho!

I like your opinion on this piece, especially the part about putting the fender on when you're learning. It seems like you have a lot of experience working with people who are starting out on boards.

Great review video. I’m hesitant to buy one because I currently live in California which is so nice to ride it but I’m relocating to Georgia and I don’t know if it a good place geographically to own and ride one and if it’s worth the price as it is expensive. . Still debating but your video definitely help but if I were to buy one, probably going to go with the pint x. Thank and keep it up.

I can't wait to get mine

The regular pint actually went up in price from $950 to $1050 when the pint x was released, i think in an attempt to push people to upgrade

Great video........informative and good fun.

I rode my gt through the rain on the way home from work, I got poured on and had to ride through some unavoidable puddles… I thought nothing was wrong but it then started ghosting on me, multiple times in the last few days, so it is fully functional I just think the water damaged the footpad itself

If you get a port plug, especially for the pint models/GT, they’re very very water resistant out of the box. So long as you just let it dry out before you charge it up again, you shouldn’t have any issues. I’m 900+ miles in on my OG pint and have had no issues with that. I ride in the rain all the time. It’s an electric board so I’m not recommending you do that, but it’s realistically okay to do it so long as you take the right post ride protocol. XRs are less sealed out of the box though. But you can always badger your board if you’re worried about water damage. With board sports, falling/bailing/risk of injury is just the nature of the beast. I always say if you know how to ride, you have know how to bail. (I define bailing as being able to identify a spill about to occur, and intentionally getting off or running it out) I can’t express how important that is in not seriously hurting yourself. Cuz it’s really a skill that has to be developed as well. As a seasoned rider, I don’t really fall much anymore, but I bail frequently, cuz it’s much safer to bail when it gets unstable or squirrelly at times than to try to ride stuff out. Also, to each their own, but Maaan, Onewheels are adventure/stoke machines and are gonna get banged up. They’re built to last and can easily be cleaned u0 with a scrub down with a brush or sand paper (to buff out scratches, smooth or scratches and ridges, and things of that nature), or just get replacement parts like you said. I think compared to a majority of riders, the learning curve is definitely individualized, and I feel like you may have struggled more than most, but the general rule still contends that anyone can ride this board. It was tough for you, but hey, you’re riding it ain’t ya? lol Lastly I just wanted to say that I feel like you saying that the air of danger being a con is kinda harsh lol. Just because it’s just as dangerous as you make it. Driving a car can be very dangerous or really safe depending on your approach. Same thing with OWs. If you’re an adrenaline junkie that loves to push limits, yeah your potential for serious injury skyrockets, but it’s all about learning your board and mitigating the balance between confidence, rider capability, experience, and safety. Respect pushback and you shouldn’t have issues with nosedives at speed. Most serious wipeouts tend to be a product of rider error rather than the board being outright unsafe. I’ve ridden with kids under 8 and adults over 60. Anyone can enjoy this stoke machine and I love that. It’s such an inclusive experience. But my brother in the wheel, FLOAT ON!!! Great video my man.

As a beginner, if you respect the board, you'll be ok. The moment you forget what you're riding, you will be in danger. It's fun at all speeds, so don't get too comfortable too fast. Happy riding!😁

My friend had a XR and I tried it out when i was riding I asked how to stop riding he said lift your foot so I’m wondering if that works on pintx

Don't feel bad about feeling nervous riding. I was the same way and 300 Miles and a few falls later I ride my onewheel on the road and hit 22mph (XR) like a champ. But took me a bit to get there.

Love the intro Awsome video thank you

at your cruising speed of 10 to 12 mph... how long does one charge last on average for you?

I love all my electric toys (Onewheels, Dualtron Victor, E-move cruiser, Meepo). Right now, I have the Onewheel Pint X, I’m over 200 pounds and I’ve had this thing over 20 mph. I get a lot of pushback on it which causes me to be hesitant riding it. In part, I’m probably used to the old Onewheel XR which was a litter bigger and more stable. Super portable electric vehicle and I love it over the Meepo because of the silly remote and small wheels that smack on any unsmooth surface. Prefer my scooters but like to Onewheel at times. Bought the fast charger and the fender both were well worth the extra money you spend. No crashes on this one yet but wiped out many times on my older Onewheel XR. Once turned very sharp, board shut off as I was leaning forward to accelerate. Nose dived and almost knocked out my teeth on the pavement. Happened crazy fast and with open face helmet def didn’t help my face. Have fun be safe!

Very good review!

nice vid here, thanks! what's keeping me from getting one is the unmentioned combination of cost *and* anti-consumer behavior by the company. unplug the battery and it bricks your board, even if you connect back the same battery. the tire too is a send back to factory item. it's an otherwise pretty cool product but people and the company both need to understand this rather glaring and sucky planned obsolescence that's built into the product. the battery has a 100% chance of wearing out after a few years of regular use, the tire too. the software in the product is designed to lock up your board if you try and do maintenance on the thing yourself. what if the company goes under? what if they choose to "discontinue" support for your model? I say this is likely because we already know they are maintenance unfriendly. besides the high initial cost, consider that this may be disposable. once something wears out, your only choice may be to get a new one ..or better yet, something else 🤔

Just get more experience. After about 200-300 miles you get your sea legs, and it totally feels stable. Right now you are building muscles needed for that stability.

One thing I wonder about that's rarely discussed as an old guy (56). I've had Segways, Ninebots, and even a hoverboard. So, I am experienced at riding balancing scooters. I wonder if that helps you adjust to it faster. Another consideration is they say the Pint is more "twitchy" if you will, so I'd consider the larger model just for stability.

Amazing quality :)

1. Confidence should come from understanding the board not from getting faster everyday. You need to learn to feel the board, it will tell you you´re going fast same for low battery and not only with pushback. While you are maxing the board the board gets easier to stomp down, thats first thing you can notice then the board starts feeling way less stable, then the pushback comes and if you still push it you go down. Feel the board at 100%, 80%, 60% and really understand it to feel comfortable and be actually safe. 2. You cant replace everything except for cosmetics. Parts are either from broken out boards or trough FM repair service. 3. Price is super low in US, just look up used market. (Super low compared to other continents) Glad you like your onewheel, keep being safe and float on my friend.

I'm 31 with three kids I'm 225lbs is the pint X the one I need to start with? I know the Pint is $750 minus extras and shipping right now

Perhaps you should do some balance training, slack line, trampoline jumping (gymnastics) and surfskating? Might feel more comfortable on wheel.

You scared me for a second there. I’m a pretty accomplished board rider and I’d never strap a baby to me while riding something. Well….. maybe snowboarding on a green 😂

I died when you put the helmet on with the baby strapped to you 😂

Great video, it may be a personal thing learning to ride, I was on and in full control in under a minute, I found it very intuitive; however I’ve been riding boards all my life! It did take a few days to learn trails, bumps, and higher speeds. Thank you for the review!

great video, thanks

You prob gave someone at CPS a heart attack with the first 30 seconds of the video 🤣

I’m going to get one probably in two weeks

Have you thought about third party accessories like craft and ride, float life, etc?

Is that a Mill Scale 94 in the background?

Do you regret your purchase? Is the one wheel fun enough for you to ride it even with your tight schedule?

My LIfetop is 17.1 .. I didnt get kickback and that was actually uncomfortably fast for me. I'm on the Pint regular **

It woulda been so cute if you put a tiny watermelon helmet or something on the baby😂🤣

Oh man, you had me fooled for a minute. I was thinking its not safe to have the baby with you. Lol

The OG pint price went up

Keep your speed below 16mph and don’t accelerate quickly up hill or when your battery is below 40%. Follow those rules and you should be able to avoid nosedives. Bend your knees and relax your ankles and you’ll continue to gain confidence riding.

The Onewheel is the greatest invention of the 21st. century. Keep an eye on your battery charge level, the golden rule to avoid nosedives.

The main thing i absolutely HATE about the X is the low clearance point in the front! I was going up a 15-20 degree hill and the nose scraped the floor and i took a dive. Scraped up my left hand, elbow, and bruised hip! I now purchased fangs to help alleviate that. The fender should come standard; Thats FM stealing a page off apple.

Great review friend! :)

maybe other people disagree, but imo i think you just need to accept that your onewheel is gonna get banged up. my fender is scratched, my rails are scratched, and my bumpers are REALLY scratched. and i dont mind that at all. even if youre careful, at some point youre gonna nosedive, and the exterior of your onewheel is gonna take some damage even if it isnt a bad fall. the onewheel itself is very durable, and whatever you put on it to protect it is gonna get damaged anyway, so visually theres not much difference there. i suppose you could replace the rail and bumper guards every so often, but i just dont think its worth it.

It kind of goes without saying, whenever you ride some type of board you're gonna fall at some point, just be prepared always be safe but you'll be okay

I just ordered fangs

Huge PintX rider here! Absolutely tears up trails and is extremely versatile. Check out some of my riding videos! Just topped out at 19.5 MPH this week!

The Pint X has a major design flaw in the battery housing that leads to damaged BMS balancing wires and main battery leads.

The baby part at the beginning had me scared I was like this dude is an idiot omg but as soon as I saw the cut I was like aahhh I got pranked

Hi! To be a bit more safe on the OW, I suggest you to bend your legs more... so if you nosedive and have to run out your fall, you can "kick yourself off" much more that way. I hope you understand, what I mean. :) After some falls you will be confident to fall, how you kick yourself off, and roll your body on the ground, I guess. Not that scary at all, just take care, you don't fall in front of a car (I mean, avoid risky moves in general, where cars are crossing/ driving by)... :) Have a safe ride, and no baby-riding please! :)))

There are only 2 kinds of riders. Those that have been down and those that are going down. Learned that as a motorcycle rider, the hard way.

what is his weight?

If you ride one of these through a rough neighborhood then you’re going to get robbed at gunpoint within 5 seconds because of how expensive they are.

So you'll put a helmet on your own head but not your child's?......oooooooo I typed that too fast u got me 😹😵

You fall BAD! once. That's my experience anyway. Just don't push past "push back" and you'll be mostly fine. I've flown off my longboard Way more times due to imperfect roads then I ever did on my 1,000+ miles riding the Pint. As you say it's a personal choice. Just don't be a speed demon.

Watching this as a pint owner I’m like wow you got the wrong onewheel if you’re that scared of it you need a pint not a pint x

keep your knees bent slightly

20 seconds in...WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU! keeps watching...oh thank god.

Gave me a heart attack

🥓🎅

Dude, you act as if you’re an old man! Grow young Brah.

Your kid doesn’t need a helmet?

Dude.... Riding with a baby??

That's dark humor man. Smh

Pretty dumb to strap your baby (sans helmet) onto your body for your first round on a one wheel. Like, the dumbest thing I've seen recently.
