Ok, I am starting to favor the Pint over the XR (Please do not bash me). The XR will alway be my distance Ride or Die but the Pint is so nimble and solid. I am still getting used to the Bam, Bam Pushback on the Pint (it will mellow once I get used to it). An easy 4 miles added over lunch... -❤️-
@TyDie
Good to hear you have some experience on the OW via the XR. If you were good with XR other than size then the Pint will fit your style perfectly. The Pint's smaller tighter structure is very fun and nimble vs the XR. The shape of Pint's tire is also a maneuverability gain... It requires a bit more balance but the rounder arch vs flat on the standard OWs is a fun thing to carve with... I would suggest turning off Simple Stop so you ride in both directions (vs forward only).
@Franko
Absolutely you will get asked "What is that THING?".... Most people are super nice and even ask if they can try. The nice thing with the Pint is you can turn on Simple Stop so they do not DIE trying to dismount. I had a couple guys try out my Pint with just 3 mile on it at the gas station where I was charging it last night.
@a_onekatie
The XR for me takes about 1.3 hours or so depending on my lower % start point. Most of the time from maybe 20% I am done in an hour-ish, the last 5% takes takes a long time.... I know the charge rate for the Pint factory module is locked with 1.3 Amps so using the XR charger will get you up to ~3.2 Amps at the 63 VDC output. Plus I already have it so why not use it right?. One hour is not bad for the Pint but I guess I am always ready to ride after a short break, LOL....
@Franko said in Installed Pint Railguards:
@LidPhones wow -- i remember when my rails looked that good. SNIFF!
Hey eventually it happens to everyone. All OWs are like tanks from the build perspective. Think of it as reason to customize the look down the road....
@Franko
BM would be sweet event to one day attend.... Yeah the transition from solid to not solid terrain can nasty. I feel the narrower Pint tire will suffer even more on this aspect. The XR has a hard enough time as it is... I will be test this factor out soon on the Pint and report back....
Ok So here goes a first 5 Mile night ride break down:
*Compared to the standard sized OW V1 to XR the Pint seems like a very solid build (no Rattles from internal ferrite coils).
*Deck size and stance are narrower and thinner but did not really impact me that much (even with my size 12 kicks). Only real thing I had to watch was any drifting in my stance (needed to stay a bit squeezed) as I was used to a wider stance on the XR.
*The tire diameter provides a very responsive and firm road feel (like riding in a car and you went from 60 profile tires to 50s).
*Motor torque and power are inline with the XR (same motor and battery tech) and that was expected.
*Simple stop is a great "getting to know the OW" feature as it makes stopping predictable and repeatable. I did about two start/stops and immediately wanted to go back to what I knew and the ability to ride in both directions. I was expecting it to go and it would just Simple Stop on me. Do not get me wrong @Future-Motion did an amazing job on this feature to get everyone riding.
Ok that is enough for now. More to come....
@Franko
That is the perfect kind of venue to OW in..... A virtual fantasy land wide open for some TerraSurfing! I would go all NIKE on that.....
Really glad I stuck some SUP board rub guards on the Pint. Need to keep it somewhat fresh if possible. So far so good after five miles... 
@a_onekatie
Glad the Pint is treating you nicely. Slow and steady to learn how the motor works with you.... On the steeper up hill I reduce speed just a bit and add some slight carve back and forth vs straight up... Should help adding some angle in....
@sandsurfer
Absolutely.... the dealer route has always treated me well.... I am sure it depends on the dealer (some good and some not so good). .....
Will unbox and set up for initial impression / feel compared to V1, + and +XR.
@iplabrosse
Look at what showed up...... More details to come in the Pints in the Wild thread. Happy times..
@Franko
Agreed. Very cool to see the OW family growing...
@iplabrosse
Enjoy the ride. My Pint is due tomorrow via UPS and it is tracking for an on time delivery...
@Sponge315
Very good info shared here, Thank you.
I feel @Future-Motion has done an excellent job on the BMS side of the OW design. It follows what you have shared and allows the OW models to be charged by different systems but still optimize the cells for best performance and life without much concern on the charge rates. The BMS handles the low and high side voltage concerns you have noted.
Again this great info for all to read.....
@geguia
It has shipped from my dealer and UPS shows it arriving this Thursday.. I will provide and update once I receive it.
@ShreddieMcskate said in One wheel pint front sensor pad:
Dude I tried my brand new slip ons and they work way better...my old slip ons work on my XR still....I think thats what my problem was ..the bottoms of my old shoes are worn out from skateboarding also so they’re super soft...And everyone that I let try it were skaters with bad shoes....maybe the smaller sensor likes new kicks...I‘ll keep testing over the weekend.....has anyone tried a worn out shoe on the pint?
Watching this one.... Very good info on the Pint sensor dynamics. Thanks @ShreddieMcskate
@Daymos said in Your Pint Shipping Date:
@LidPhones well done.. you gotta do what you gotta do.
Absolutely. It will be great to have TSA allowed "camera dolly" to travel with...
@Mark-Vlogs
My Pint order approach is an indirect path so it might not fit your intended format but I feel it is worth sharing.... The dealer I used to buy my XR last year said they ordered Pints on opening day and just got them in this week, August 6th.
The reason I went this route is I was able to get the Sage LE model just by verbal commitment and no cash down. It helps to be a repeat client.... Anyway I should get my hands on the Pint mid next week once UPS arrives.
