What's better than two wheels? One wheel.
I'm so excited to try this cuz I have never ridden a One Wheel.
Um this is the Pint X, so it's the smaller brother of the Pint or not it's
the Pint, it's the uh the GT. Ah, uh it has double the range of the old Pint uh
up to 18 mph, that's 30 K for you metric folks.
And uh it will prove to be a challenging
ride, I'm sure. But uh let's open up. See what's inside.
What is the X factor? Life is about to get more awesome. I sure hope so.
It's got that new rubber smell. What sort of accessories could they
include with this thing? Ooh, stickers.
Love me some stickers. These are vinyl cut decals. Uh owner's manual. Uh I will definitely
be flipping through this before I risk life and limb. Looks like this is the
basic charger. Uh they do have an ultra charger which reduces the charge time to
just under 2 hours, but uh this on its own, I think it's 3 hours 45 minutes
from a from a dead battery. And then we have the unit itself.
Ooh, she is hefty. Oh my gosh.
There's a handle. Oh, there is a handle. It's so handy.
That is an absolute unit. First glance, it looks like brushed
aluminum, but I doubt it is. It's probably plastic.
But I can appreciate that attention to detail. It's very dusty.
We have a 10 and 1/2 inch by 4.5 in
by 6 tire. I don't know exactly what those mean
besides 10 and 1/2 inch. So this tire is 1/2 an inch uh narrower and an inch
taller. 27 lb.
I mean you can make a bike a lot lighter than 27 lb, but this has a motor. 750 W
motor cuz anything bigger than 500 W in Canada requires a license and insurance,
I think. Uh all I know is it's super illegal to ride
this on any public street in Canada. Uh or at the very least in Vancouver. Let's
look at the bottom down here. So we have two huge pads, and I'm assuming these will
get really banged up. It doesn't even look like this has been ridden, so I
don't know what you're talking about, Jono, saying this has been
opened before. So it is a Bluetooth connected device, so I think the next
step is to turn it on. There is a button here.
Oh, we got light. Okay.
And I guess we got to open the app now. I mean I see XR, I don't know what those
are, and I see Pint. I'm going to just go with Pint. See how it goes. Power up, power up your
board. We did that. Always wear a helmet. Engage the footpad. Oh, they
want us to stand on it already. Want to Yeah, we'll give you some of the the
techs and the specs. Um this guy runs in
around $1,400, so that's $350 more than
the standard Pint. Uh but it does go faster, and it does have much more
range. I think it tops out around 18 miles on this guy. So that's a good
distance. I could commute on this. I don't think I'd want to,
but I could. Um there's no fender here, which uh seems mildly dangerous, but the
the gap between the wheel and the board is is pretty small, so I wouldn't feel
like your your foot's going to get sucked in, so that's good. I'm sure you can get a fender that bolts onto this.
Oh, you Fantastic, you can customize them. Uh it is tail heavy on the battery
side, so underneath this pad we have a a huge I think it's
lithium ion, not lithium polymer.
Okay, that's a lot of heavy metals. It's a heavy battery.
Uh up front we have the controller, so as far as I'm aware, this is the ESC is
the controller motor, and then the actual brain box that you talk to with
your your phone, and and it has a accelerometer, I'm assuming, in here
that tells you how far you're leaning. Uh it has four what they call shaping
modes, and a shaping mode is kind of like a PID control loop. It translate
what you input into your output. So if you want it to be super aggressive, you
can change your shaping mode. I don't know what they're called just yet, but we'll find it in the app, I'm sure. And
uh you can set how aggressive you want this to be. On the XR, the big brother,
you have five shaping modes, and you can customize it. So if you're very
particular or like you ride only in sand or something like that, you can set it
up to be just so.
Why would you get this over the GT? Well, presumably because it's way
cheaper. It's like $800 cheaper. Um the GT does have a little bit more
off-road chops. It's got more clearance angle like departure and
and all that jazz up front. And a little speed and battery, of course. The GT
goes an extra 2 km or 2 mph faster, 20
20 miles, which is like 34 km an hour.
And I don't know about you, but going 34 km an hour on one wheel
sounds terrifying. Okay, what's in the owner's manual? What do you What's the
first page? I think that's important. Welcome to the revolution.
You're the very proud new owner of a
of a One Wheel Pint. Oh, I get to lean on someone. Slowly come up to balance,
so get up onto the balance, and then once you're up on a level, the
controller will take over and kind of keep it level, I'm assuming. Warnings,
yep, that's a good second page. Risk of death or serious injury.
I hope none of those happen today. Oh, look at this guy. That's going to be me.
Wait. Wait. Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Bumpers, uh
so these bumpers are replaceable. They're wear and tear items, and they seem to be pretty easy to take off as
far as I've seen. It's just four screws on this front one. And the back one
looks to be also four screws. You know what? I'm done with instructions.

under these hands. Helmet, I have gloves I'll put on, but phone first. Uh we have
to actually pair it. So engage the front foot footpad it has
a sensor on each side. It's like giving you instructionals.
There's videos, that's neat, I guess. Oh, you can't skip them, that's cool.
Digital shaping, let's ride. Okay, location, sure.
There it is. Found it. Okay.
Activating, 33%.
Simple stop enabled, regen. Let's try
Redwood, whatever the heck that means. I don't know. It's
Uh uh okay. Yeah, that's fair.
This is surprisingly easy. It's pretty stable.
Wee. Yeah, Redwood's pretty chill.
I feel like I need to hit some top speeds already. Oh boy.
Oh, the the braking is like
it's good, but it's wasn't ready for it. I had the I had the
go, I didn't have the stop. Okay, let's try hopping back up on it, and
up. Okay. So like once you tip up, then the like controller hops in and it's
like, "Okay, we need to establish level." Okay, here's the pose.
It's not scary. At no point was I afraid of this. Okay,
we're going to go to Pacific X. This
Wow, this feels immediately different. It's much less lean forward.
Okay, that's like That's enough speed.
You do not need to go faster than that.
Okay, do we have We have to hit the top speed, don't we?
The people want to see it. Okay. Okay, let's just change the riding
mode one more time. There's Elevated X and Skyline X.
Skyline GT or Oh yeah, that's got beans.
Ground is very unstable.
Or not flat. Oh, go on the gravel?
Okay. It'll do it.
Sick. All in, this thing is cool. I I am by no
means an expert. I'm not a Ren, but uh
I get it. If I had 1,400 bucks, I would buy one. But I hope you liked my
