Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching this video and supporting my channel. I really appreciate it and am overwhelmed by the amount of views and kind words. I just wanted to apologize for the audio as I know certain sections contain background music that is too loud. Unfortunately I can't fix it after posting and would recommend using captions as I have gone through and edited the caption to assist in those sections. Hopefully this helps a little and once again apologize and appreciate all your support as I continue to learn and grow this channel. Thanks again for all the support and as always drop me a comment if you have any questions or just want to say what's up! Float on friends!

From a fellow creator: great video. Background music bit to loud IMHO.

I don’t know how many onewheel videos I have watched. Hundreds perhaps. This is easily one of my favorites! Very fun to watch, balance and informative! Well done sir.

I went ahead and bought the XR for the range. Day three and I’ve already maxed the 18mi range twice. It’s incredible for cruising and exploring downtown Denver. XR is definitely worth the extra price for me

Good video and all, I just wish you lowered the music more while talking. I could barely understand you.

I have had my XR for two years and put over 4K miles on it. I love riding it and it has been really reliable for me.

Bought two Pints- one for me, and one for my Son (17). Along the way, infected next door neighbor with enthusiasm. The rounder profile of the smaller tire made it feel very wobbly for the first hour or so of experience, but both of us now have mastered "carving" sharp 90 degree turns in the house! Riding on roads pretty painless (although at first the soles of my feet would get sore- but less so now). Goal is to become competent off-road. Learning on Grass is a start- when board wants to shoot out from under you, it just spins on grass- but that surface is a little bumpier than roadway. I learned from a more experienced rider that the best way to turn is to simply "think" about the way you want to go, and the board does the rest! I may someday get an XR, but the ONLY advantages are the greater range, and the taller tire- which may be important when riding on single track mountain bike trails (but the Pint actually produces more torque, since the motor is the same, yet the tire smaller).

I own both, started with a XR then bought a pint. I feel most people are better off with a Pint. Personally it is more fun to ride.

I actually am only 14, and have saved enough through working to buy a pint. I live in a VERY small town and I am only 1.5 miles away from work. This is why i got the pint. It will come here in 2 more days, and i am overly exited for the outcome. Some day I might upgrade, but for now I have what I need for my age and location.

Just bought an XR. 61 years old and 260 #’s. Pretty sure I’m going to like this just hoping I keep the falls to a minimum. Now, to find big open spaces with lots of grass :). Great job on the video, thanks.

[twig_snap]

Thanks I've watched almost every vid on YouTube about these but this one is honestly the most helpful :)

[evanhenson]

I’ve been looking into getting a one wheel but I haven’t been sure. But after watching this video I got the confidence to finally do it. I just placed my order for the Pint and I’m really excited and can’t wait for it to come in. Thanks for the great video. It was very informative and helped me a lot in making my final decision.

I own the Pint. Love it. Been riding it for over a year. Recently rode the XR for the first time around NYC. There’s no comparison. The XR is better. It’s incredible. I never topped out on speed. I averaged 16-17 mph, now I always get push back on the Pint. And the XR is very agile, but extremely solid underfoot. I’m definitely upgrading to the XR.

[dirtcreatured]

I absolutely love my pint, nimble, light and small. Also I've hit 22mph on mine with everything stock and I weigh 230 lbs lol and I get 10 miles range, way over the stated specs on both, that being said, as soon as they release a new XR with a 1000w motor I'm gonna get one

[jaynewton]

This video in addition to the useful comparison, gave me what I really wanted which are great user videos that gave me a feeling for what it’s like to ride a one wheel and it feels awesome!

[justfishthings]

Had my pint a month and a half and already looking for a used XR, not to replace but to have both, like you said different experience. Nice video!

[oldaccount]

this guy should get way more attention his videos are so nice and I like the drone shots

[oliduriez]

Thanks a lot for this video! I was really hesitant because I'm going to use it mostly to go to work but even tho I'd like to ride around the city sometimes during the weekends, I figured the range of the Pint would still be more than enough. I'm going with it!

[lbryan]

Sick video! I’m sure your channel’s going to blow up soon with all these great edits and content man! Made me subscribe super fast. P.S. You definitely ride the onewheel like you’ve had tons of experience with it and know how to manipulate it to your will lol.

[Happy_FPV]

Thank you man! This video was a great help for me trying to figure out what way to go. I think the pint is what is going to suit my wants. Great job touching on all the key differences and advantages/disadvantages of both!
