@McFloaty said in Getting a pint...again:
@Senior-Coffee interesting. No engineer but think if pint has same motor as xr plus, then a smaller diameter wheel must give the pint more torque (all else being equal.) I agree with your thoughts on maneuverability, though I’ve only tried friend’s xr and xr plus, but have many miles on my pint. I grew up skateboarding though, and still need a short board for surfing, and prob treasure turning more than your average bear. 6’2”, 185 lbs, size 12.
I found when I was into motorcycles that I prefer "short interactive" rides over long straight rides. ie, a lot more turning, starting stopping, etc. The pint appealed to me in that way.
@Mykv craft n ride had a sale recently for free international shipping. Try connecting with those guys for a deal. Flight Fins wanted $70US to ship to Australia. CnR were $50US before the sale came up.
There will be tyre sellers in NZ, but may not be the best tyres for a OW. I work with a guy who races karts and tried a used dunlop from him. Wasn't a good experience. Very square profile, so a step backwards from the Vega even.
The Hoosier distributer in Australia didn't have the right tyre but could get it in. You could try hooking up with other NZ guys and order a bunch in.
Got a great idea for a new Onewheel feature, improvement or accessory?

@Aboelter it keeps coming up, for sure. i think owners of the other models said that it took about a year or so for Custom Shaping to reach those, so maybe we're due for Pint Custom Shaping any time now.... crossing fingers
