Got my Slate Pint today, named it Squirt. It came with ~25% battery, so is charging. Ordered 3/12 within an hour of launch, shipped 7/23 and sat on FedEx truck since Saturday at 8am 5 miles from my house... Come on FM, you had my money for four months, spring for Saturday delivery for Christ sakes. Also received notification that fender and rail guards shipped today. All good, but I’m having rotator cuff surgery Friday and won’t be able to ride for several months... That is going to suck!

RE: Your Pint Shipping Date
Order 443XX placed March 12, 45 minutes after the launch, shipped yesterday! But delivery is estimated for Monday, which seems pretty conservative from Southern California to North Alabama. This is a SLATE Pint!

There’s a video of Adam Savage building his own XR, including installing the tire onto the hub/motor here:

RE: Onewheel Demographics
Will be 59 in November, grew up surfing, skateboarding, and water skiing in Florida, took up snow skiing for a few years out in Colorado, 10 years ago. Looking forward to getting the Pint, current July 16 but a moving target, and have already got all the PPE and Hero 3 ready.

RE: What’s pushing the Pint orders back?
@Rocketeer I'm extra bummed because I just found out Wednesday that I have to have rotator cuff surgery August 1. So if I don't get mine by then it will probably be December until I can safely ride it.

Check out this interview with Jack at the San Fransisco demo. He addresses the delays and hints at potential future delays. Worth watching for the spinning GoPro helmet cam shots...

Uh oh, another ship slip
Ordered Pint 3/12/2019 within an hour of launch. Ship date was holding at 7/3 since 5/30, now showing 7/5/2019 with status still in Queue. Not a good sign... AAARRRRGGG!!!

RE: SandSurfing or SandBoard
Aren't you worried about getting sand in the motor/bearings? I have not gotten my pint yet, so not sure how sealed it can be.

RE: OneWheel XR smaller charge, travel charger?
@Gtamas90 The charge controller is an electrical circuit and it senses the input current, or something like that.

Well, now I know what’s coming tomorrow. Would have preferred a window sticker for my truck...
