In this video, I go over everything you need to know about the Onewheel Pint X vs. GT. This is an overview of everything Future Motion has put out about the new onewheels in their Uncharted event and other content that they've released.
In Summary, The Onewheel pint X has the same design as the original pint but has a bigger battery which gives it twice as much range and a slightly higher top speed. The GT is a more substantial upgrade, with twice as much range as the Onewheel XR, concave footpads both in the front and back, a built-in maghandel pro, brighter LED's, and an option for a treaded tire, The downside is that the tire one the GT is now a custom size, meaning standard go-kart tires will no longer work. It is also significantly heavier than the XR

I think they put the original pint up to over a grand to make it appear closer to the pint x monetary wise. Hoping when people see the price they go “oh for 400 more I get more.” Afraid of them seeing a number sub 1k and immediately buying the original pint. Market strategy but also they have to realize the used pint market is through the roof. Can get a pint with barely any miles now for like 700-800 bucks.

My fully upgraded CBXR board is about 31lbs. The 35lbs on the GT is not an issue at all. With more power comes more weight. Everyone is saying their fully modded XRs is still better than the GT dont understand that the difference is the internals. An 18s2p battery configuration cannot be achieved on an XR. When GTs catch up in aftermarket accessories, the GT will have an edge over the XR on paper just from the higher voltage internals. I will be keeping my XR and getting a GT. Which will I ride more?

If my memory is correct, the pint is allowed for traveling on airplanes , but the pint x considering how large the battery capacity is, it's not allowed. The pint is a little bit more lighter too. So I think if you travel by airplane a lot, in general, the pint might be a better fit.

The reason they increased the price for the pint was to incentivize people to go with the pint x instead of the pint. Only spending $950 for a onewheel seems like a good sell to most. But if it’s $1,050 then the common thought process is to just spend a few hundred more for the better board.

The 20 mph limit is for legal reasons. For example, you wont find an electric bike that will go over 20 mph, because if it did, it would have to be called a motorcycle and you would have to get a license. Not sure what they would call a OneWheel that went over 20mph, but you get the point.

The e bike argument makes sense but what about e boards? The meepo hurricane has a top speed of 37mph and you don’t need a license to ride it. I think OneWheels can’t go above 20mph because of the size of the board itself. Can’t cram anymore batteries in there or else you risk having to make the board bigger, therefore making the OneWheel too heavy and uncomfortable to ride.

All their models are too slow. 1500 watt motor is a bottleneck. Wish they'd go the way of esk8 and sky the limit it. It's got a massive battery, could power such a bigger motor and in turn get a 30mph+ speed and less nose-dives. Folks won't nose-dive all the time. 19mph is too slow, everyone will surpass that. The 30mph of my esk8 is good, don't get overtaken by every car, can commute safely. The ride of a OW is so sweet just a shame they're so slow.

@contorta960 2 жыл бұрын

@@DG-xj7pm sorry I said 1500 watts, that would be better, it's 750 watts. Reason I guess it to try and make it legal like ebikes. They're capped at 3 horsepower, 750 watts and I think it's 15mph. The lasted GT video he says he's going 16mph+ so it doesn't look like the speed has changed at all, even the 1 or 2mph. I do believe you will be able to sustain going at 16mph for longer than the XR would before nose-diving just for giggles. It's a right pain. I'm not saying 30mph is fast just in cities it tends to be the speed limit, making going with the flow much safer. I do enjoy going a little over on hills on my esk8 but 30mph is all I ask. For the price, can't justify the broken bones I'd get by pushing the board beyond what it's capable of. Maybe in another 4 years FM will do an upgrade justice. Or maybe some Chinese companies will release a better one. It doesn't say what gradient the GT can do but I'm guessing 15 degrees, maybe 20. Esk8 is at 40 degrees. I'm in a hilly city. And Onewheels are illegal here just like esk8 but not policed. So hop to it already FM! Lol

@CosmicGaijin 2 жыл бұрын

I think there’s a reason on the capping. It has more to do with the fact that y’know… there’s regulations in states that strictly enforce that electric devices like bikes,scooters and etc cannot surpass 20 MPH. It can get close to 20 or just 20 but never over or it’d be classified as an automobile that’d require certification/licenses to operate.

@@CosmicGaijin yes I did cover the legality. I don't see what's different between onewheels and eskates, where the sky's the limit.. they don't feel the need to cap the speed. FM has got to be losing a lot of skater customers that don't make the jump for this 1 limitation.
