In this video i compare the Onewheel vs an electric skateboard in particular the Onewheel Pint and the Tynee Stinger.
I have no car and this is my main form of land transport.
In my opinion, the onewheel is a death trap and in this video i tell you why.
Still questioning if one wheel is worth it?
Check this video out outlining how Future Motion is a shady company.

Great video and very well presented. However I do think for similar weight and cost you would be better off with a folding bike. I bought a Brompton and it has been a game changer. Mine is an older one so not as light as the sportier models (12.5kgs) but it folds up in seconds and is easy to carry. I just know I'd seriously injure myself on one of those electric options you showed!

I did think bike, but couldn’t find one that would take as little space as the skate. You are right tho, the skateboard takes a lot of finesse 👍🍺

I have a couple esk8s and OneWheels. They are truly for different purposes. Most if not all of the accidents I’ve seen resulted from user error and not understanding how the board works. If you ride it like an esk8, with your weight over the center, you’re asking to fall. I have over 4k miles on 3 onewheels and can push my GT to 24 without it cutting out. Time and experience are great tools.

@garrymullins 2 ай бұрын

Agreed. Also, a massive difference between a stock Pint versus a GT kitted out with aftermarket parts. But it gets expensive fast. If price is a concern and you just want something practical, esk8 makes sense. But a Onewheel can provide an amazing experience, for a premium price.

*DKP kicktail boards are awesome!* ⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡ I've got a Meepo Flow, similar to the Tynee Stinger LE (lighter Stinger, smaller battery). I don't mess with gyros 😂 so no onewherls/unis for me, love a remote. ps, you can disable Autobrake for power/connection loss using the Tuya app, connects via bluetooth. This app also let's you adjust every speed mode setting/s.

I rode One Wheels for years with starting with a Pint and upgrading to the XR. I have over 2,000 miles altogether on One Wheels and have come off the board many times on and off road. I can say that a majority of my falls were my fault, but I have had MANY instances were the board scared the hell out of me. It got to the point to where I was paranoid about hitting pot holes, uneven pavement or anything that would cause the board to become unstable. I was just not enjoying the ride anymore. I've been lucky enough to run out most of the "crashes" but I do not want to end up with a permanent injury. Therefore, I now own an Evolve electric board and won't ever go back. Get all terrain tires with your electric board and its way better than a One Wheel.

@slightadrift Ай бұрын

Totally agree. You only need the control unit, essentially a small computer, to glitch out once, and your off….. without any warning.

i'm a big onewheel advocate & even have their newest one, the GT-S i wouldn't call them "safe". you're literally on a single wheel and a board. the "marvel" of it technology-wise is the appeal because it's not something that was normally possible. so it comes with risk. it is very fun though, and going for a ride without having to use a controller and just jump on and go is something that is just awesome to me. it's important to be smart with these things though and understand it is technology. make sure you're aware of how your PSI, weight, outdoor temperature, wind, terrain & other factors affect your ride. if you're just looking for something practical, i would get a scooter/moped.

@danhofmann9713 7 ай бұрын

Good review. I was always worried about putting the balance in the hands of electronics. Good you didn't get an evolve, as awesome as it was when it worked.. Wheel size has to be an issue on your new skaty for anything other than pavement and even then, dodgy at speed. As a tool i would have thought the scooters would be the go... But not as fun lol. Bigger wheels and only 2 instead of 4 and the handlebars are convenience in a number of other ways. I know a bike is too big but a scooter is not that much bigger. Water killed most of my electric toys so far, not even salt, it must be worse for you.

It’s off to me so much hate for the pint lol. I’ve had mine since release and other than a better battery and a rewheel tune has been kept stock. It’s only limitation is speed and range. I I would hate an electric skate board Simply because it’s not as diverse in the terrain it can handle. If you’ve got only sidewalk to ride I could see having the pint. Not to mention pricing.

@slightadrift 8 ай бұрын

Interesting. Has your ever malfunctioned?

@rnonty 8 ай бұрын

if it was your first time in a boat and it started sinking, would you also decide that boats are unsafe? you rely on their buoyancy to float, right, so without the buoyancy (self balancing feature) you're screwed! probably not, right. so i think it's a bit unfair to paint with broad strokes here. there isn't an electronic on the planet that doesn't malfunction. ow's are no exception. it's why you ride with caution and use equipment in anticipation of a malfunction to protect yourself... like having lifejackets on a boat, or seat belts in a car, etc.. im also curious what PSI you're riding. if you aren't in the 10-14 range, I'd recommend giving it a shot.

@slightadrift 8 ай бұрын

I think you miss my point but I hear you. I’m not trying to wrap everyone in cotton wool here, but if the electronics fail in a onewheel, you’re coming off. Hopefully you don’t eat it bad. If my boat starts sinking, I have SO many safety measures before I go down. I have a two seperate automatic bilge pumps. I have a bilge pump alarm. I have sea cocks where I can literally shut off all the entry points of water. I have a VHF. The list goes on. My point is redundancy. Not only that, I have regular preventative maintenance schedules for EVERYTHING! Unlike onewheel which has no set servicing timetable. See the difference? Im fine with everyone owning a onewheel. I just think it’s level of safety is misrepresented.

@@slightadrift you can have your ow serviced at any time. just take it to a shop lol. having problems? get it looked at. not having problems, but wanna make sure everything is fine? get it looked at lol. why would you need a timetable for something like that? the rest of your points are fair enough. ow's are definitely dangerous.

For clarity, it’s unclear whether the 4 deaths cited by the CPSC were due to hardware or software malfunctions (or malfunctions of any kind). May have just been users overpowering the board and nose-diving. Unclear, at this point.

@slightadrift 8 ай бұрын

You are correct. They may have just not felt the kick back which is probably why the recent update with more alert signals when approaching the limit. Still, I’m 99% certain, two times I’ve come off were from the board malfunctioning. I feel like I got off very lightly in those two circumstances. I can’t be the only one on the planet, there must be others. Even with a set servicing schedule, if they were to introduce one, over the long term you’re rolling the dice IMO
