I love my Demon United Elbow pads, might be adding in the knee variant next...

@midlifecrisis said in Pint or XR...which is most like cruising the pistes in a snowboard?:

@b0ardski Good point about quivers...but these machines are pricey! I have 2 snowboards valued at roughly one Pint. But no worries, decision made to go big or stay home. XR will be on it's way next week :) Next decision is protection for the learning curve - I have a helmet so thinking about wrist guards and elbow pads (plus maybe some covert/exoskin knee protection?).

Congrats on the XR. You will love it. Add some wrist guards for sure. Elbow and knee are good if going to be going fast or doing some trails. I added in elbow pads after going through a puddle that ended up being a pothole.......

Robin egg, very cool! I had a chance to snag a similar photo but was OW'n the dog and she was not going to wait for me.....

@midlifecrisis
I have both and they each share the feel of snowboarding (also similar to wakeboarding). I would not say they are are skateboard similar IMO... I love both but given the stock tire setup I say that the Pint is more refined, tighter (due to rounder tire shape) and overall a better carving board. The XR is my go to speed and distance machine that is still fun to carve with but just not as tight due to the more square tire shape.

Also if you plan to fly with the OW as a carry on in a backpack bag then the Pint it must be.... I bought the Pint for this reason.

You will be happy with either OW, so go for it....

Did it slither out of the way before you ran it down?

Updated the title to reflect all the cool shots being shared....

I will be 59 in July and started on the first OW back in 2016. The V1 model at 500 watts was fun but you really needed to watch going up hill/ accelerating too fast or down went the nose.... The +, +XR and Pint models with 750 watt motors really made this a trusty and fun to ride sport...

So fun to see all the great people joining the family. We have close to 30 people in the Des Moines, IA area now.

I just got another 20 year old rider started on a Pint about a month ago. So fun now that we can have real group rides In our city.

PSA: Any Current group rides follow local COVID 19 requirements...... ;-)

Quack. They did not want to stick around once I stopped for the photo opp....
