Hi Mario. Only one question I can't find: Does the GT have Simple Stop? It's the one feature I have to have from my XR. Thanks.

The GT does have Simple Stop.

Thanks for the review on this. Appreciate you taking the time to make this

i've watched all kinds of videos for ten years and you're one of the funniest / smartest dudes i've seen! nice going! (even the "with great power" joke was extra-great.)

Thank you for watching, Jimmy! And for your kind words. 🙏

Too bad your GT review isn't remotely as insightful or honest. You also failed to note pretty much all of the flaws and didn't even discover or notice any of them which makes your reviews pretty bad. A critical eye looks for insight not fluff. It's why I am unsubscribed a year ago it's a constant trend with a lot of OW YT. All advertising revenue no integrity

@@TheBoardGarage Your review was honest and critical, but you're willing to go out there and say what you saw with your own eyes things that are pretty clear and noticeable to other people as well especially to long time experienced riders that are accustomed to disassembling and rebuilding their prior models of OW's. Jimmy should have noticed these things but he just glazed over them like they were non-issues. That kind of pandering hurts the community and is willful ignorance or deception. I've seen the same kind of reviews from other the long time KZfaq is only talking about the good things not asking the hard questions not taking the board apart. Not inspecting where the parts were sourced from and the quality of those parts. Not to call them out on their meager speed increase when other unicycles are going three and soon four times faster. I don't see those unicycle companies being sued out of existence. But when I saw the specs on the GT I was pissed we waited this long we were teased shocks of some kind, patents were filed. If they couldn't get the shocks to work right and not be super bulky or fall apart quickly I can understand that. But the fact that we have other unicycles going 60 miles an hour and faster and yet they can't give us a 26 mile an hour top speed boost so 7mph. That way least would justify the board weighing 8lb ish more. I'm a bit of a cripple I got my leg ripped off a few times muscles missing my injuries are very similar to House MD from the TV show even have a missing patch of muscles and nerve damage right there as well. So the fact that they're trying to sell me a GT that only goes 1 mph faster, weighs almost 10 lb more, they didn't integrate inward facing foot pads to hold you on the board when you're going faster and you hit them pothole because that would have been a big safety measure you know versus just sliding off the front of the board. Oh and you know what you had XR look to utilitarian and practical but you know what it did a lot better heat dissipation lightweight easily repairable incredibly modular. But most important was the heat dissipation feature of the XR. Not to mention the tire it's just a money grab and it doesn't add to our safety it takes away due to less stability. If they cared about our safety they would be using the $35 bearings instead of the $5 Chinese knockoffs because as a brand new rider that's all these people need is to have a bearing break while there learning and going fast down the road. I mean think of the cool things they could have done they could have 3D printed the motor cores and cases to allow for channels inside of it and they could have injected liquid metal the same kind they use in CPU coolers so as the motor got hot the liquid metal would boil and be pushed out to the outside of the core where it would dissipate the heat through the frame and being close to the outside air and then it would drain back into the core and repeat and it closed cycle. There's all kinds of cool things they could have done with this GT instead they made it far heavier than the XR even with an 38 mile battery upgrade the XR is still way lighter and for a disabled person or a kid or a woman that is in valuable it's already heavy enough Kyle! If they are going to make it heavier it better be able to have a way of rolling it like a suitcase handle and it better give me some major upgrade to make it worthwhile like a higher speed and far longer range than a stock. But the GT has less range than a modded XR and is heavier and overheats more and it's less safe and they use subpar components. Mention none of this and a lot of this stuff was noticeable just from the spec sheet you sir noticed all of it and said it out loud you are to be respected.

@@anarex0929 I disagree. This review was very insightful and, I believe, equally as honest. Not sure what video you were watching, but this one outlines several flaws with the GT. He even noted that he had experienced these issues (ghosting and crap wheels, etc) himself as well as others. Not to mention the reason the GT overheats. Fantastic insight. I'm really at a loss as to what you found lacking in this video. What ad revenue are you claiming he is making that he would otherwise not, had his video been different? I watched a man give all of the reasons why not to buy a GT and you claim he didn't list even one. Seriously, what video were you watching because I'm talking about the one called "The Onewheel GT Review". Maybe your comment found its way onto the wrong video? I just don't know.

@@meuconmyeuc1337 No this one is great like the best as I said in another comment outside this one sub thread comment. Just Jimmy was all fluff and no substance along with other YT. Like the losers that they drove out, flew out to test the boards and your telling me NONE of them asked one hard question or say hey why is the rim this custom size no one makes tires for? Why does it only go officially 1mph faster when other unicycles are pushing 80mph. 5 or better 6mph would of been a modest speed improvement to expect. They could have even integrated an option in the Bluetooth app to sacrifice battery length for speed or have it operate more like an XR and get more range but with less torque. They really didn't listen to fans all they did was copy third party aftermarket parts without giving any credit to the people that invented them. And why is the GT board so heavy when a upgraded battery XR is almost 8lb less but has a similar range? Not to mention the GT's frame is far inferior and doesn't dissipate heat nor is it as modular and easily improved and including the bricking issue. The last two issues obviously they wouldn't have known about. These are basic questions they could have asked without ever having access to tearing down the board or anything either things you could have observed from writing it and looking at it f*** they could have brought a tape measure. Did they have to have thought of everything No, but they could have figured out one or more of the issues if they were doing their job and not just being fluff pieces for future motion. And I wouldn't have been surprised if the board didn't ghost on them and they just left that part out of FMs puff peice with this famous riders and KZfaqrs. They let themselves be used by FM pathetic. So yeah I have a problem with people that are easily impressed and are just stupid to realize that Kyle and his PR team had them sucking his dick and pedaling b*******. They also need to look at the bearings I bet they're the super cheap prone to failure ones that they stuck on the XR at the end of production. That right there tells you everything you know about future motion and safety and how much they care.

It’s them choosing instant gratification financially

I'm glad you caught that one. 😬

Yes it is!

Hey Jake - while you’re here, are the WTF rails TFL is going to sell going to be anodized aluminum and do you think they will help with the overheating? Waiting until a lot of the issues can be solved by third parties before buying a GT. The enduro solves the second biggest problem. The rails could solve the third biggest problem. Then I just need a footpad solution because the ghosting doesn’t seem like it will ever go away with the stock shit footpads.

@@michaelmcadams9991 yep they will be anodized aluminum

"While the woman is at work" lol Nice.

Yea exactly. Most of the market and new riders will have this same experience. The cry baby XR riders just gonna never stop bitching

Same idk wtf this guy is talking about.

Thank you sir. 🙏 I appreciate that greatly.

Did that make a difference? Would be interesting to see a before and after temp difference

@@pioneer7777777 You know, I'm not a performance rider and fortunately or unfortunately I'm a flatlander so as a very heavy rider I was just being proactive. I've never had the issue before or since.

Would have been nice. I no longer care for any of them at FM

@@redboyjan FFM!

Are you going to replace all parts with the battery connected? Or is there a walk around on disconnecting the battery without brick GT?

I very much appreciate that, thank you. I imagine this video will end up costing me a few subscribers, actually... But, that's the way of things.

@@TheBoardGarage As a community we need to speak up. This is the content FM needs to acknowledge. My treaded tire has the same defect but the opposite side and it’s my 2nd tire. Not giving FM another dime for a 3rd garbage tire. Waiting for TFL enduro. Keep up the content man💯

@@TheBoardGarage trust the algorithm. If the content is good, regardless of ppl's opinions, it will be recommended and watched. Just like I did. Float On :)

I agree.

Dorksens toast this product was a pathetic launch noones supporting it at all EUC or bust

Couldn't of said this better myself. Just pretend i copy pasta'd your comment and left it here. The longer I have my GT the more disappointed I am. I got a pint and held out on an XR since I was sure they were going to release a new flagship. Now I have a pint and a GT and I have to choose between distance or actually enjoying the ride. I'm just hoping that aftermarket rails and tires and the like can make it as enjoyable as it really could be.

Personally for a 6 ft 1 in 200 lb Rider as myself the GT Powers up anything I need it to power up it's just uncomfortable on my feet and a little too high all that will be resolved very soon within 6 months probably

Concur

@@AlphaCrypto81 until then, should I just grab a Pint X? I'm in Brooklyn, kinda cramped here. There's a $1400 new XR on the local shop shelf. Never used one. Had a Pint for a while. Damn range tho, even in the city. Maybe the X is the way to go? Some 3rd party larger footpads for my huge, wide feet. (140lbs). I missed out on all the XR fun. Damn fomo. Maybe I should let that go...

Had to put money into all my boards to get a comfortable ride. I need flight fins to stay on my board. I always end up buying some sort of 3rd party footpad. I put far more money into my Pint to get it comfortable because the flat footpads were just impossible. Then i VnR'd it and it bricked. GT i've only put on flight fins and changed out the love hump back to the stock pad. My tire even has a wobble in it and yet is still more stable than my Pint was lol.

I appreciate your comment. However I'm not certain the Evolve Carbon GT is a great idea either. I've done modifications on a couple of those, and every Evolve board I've had to work on has been disappointing to the owner. The batteries aren't good, they lack actual power, and are usually overpriced for what you end up getting. The Hadean is decent but far far overpriced. I would recommend to continue your search.

Oh wow. 🤔

@@TheBoardGarage What's lame is even if they cover the repair, their protocol is to update the firmware, which would make it much more difficult to go with an aftermarket battery later.

Hopefully the v2 Floatwheel gets here soon ish too. Probably by the time GT shaping is released lmao.

Yea exactly. Most of his points are about modifications which is for die hard XR fan bois

I dunno, every time I hear this and I dig deeper I usually find out that it’s either someone’s first board or they have less than 200 miles on their other boards. I’ve been on at least a half dozen GT’s, and they’re not better. The tire is garbage like Mario said, and they’re high. That’s just 2 immediate impressions. Also, and I don’t see this commented on, they don’t brake as well. (3)

@@WarmasterSidious I have to make a response video to the GT hate.

Same. I live in Australia and the main thing that puts me off is the fact i have to ship the whole board to the US every time i need a tyre change, or any repairs.

there is no heat sink problem, has your GT ever overheated?

There is. Many of the GTs at Wheel Scorcher overheated, and one board ended up with damaged magnets. Also, it's been reported by riders that their overheating warnings are coming at higher temperatures after the firmware update. Which means that FM raised the temperature limits to try to mask the frequency of overheating problems, by subjecting the motors to more dangerous temperatures.
