This... this is pretty brilliant... what app is this? I'll look for one that does the same! I really like the idea!

I'm not speed demon (have a disabled cell phone with a GPS speedometer app that has an alarm that goes off when I go over 10 mph).
Hey All!
So I have 2 Pints... one has a Kush Nug rear footpad, the other has a Pint Onetail. I prefer the Onetail, so if anyone out there has a Onetail and would prefer a Nug, I'll trade you. My Nug is as good as brand new. It's in perfect condition.
I'm in San Diego/Oceanside and in person would be the best way. Lemme know if anyone is interested.
I dont really wanna sell it outright cause I dont wanna go back to the factory one, but would consider it I suppose so I could fund the purchase of a Onetail. A trade would be sweet tho. The Onetail would have to be regular, not goofy.
I've been super busy and haven't been on my onewheel in probably 3 or 4 months. I was kinda nervous getting back on it today, but it was like I hadn't missed a single day. I forgot what it meant to become 100% stress free. Damn I love my Pint!

Awesome, no better way to spend a part of your birthday! Happy Birthday... hope it was your best one yet! 🎂

Looks like they are advertising it as a Plus XR when in reality it appears to be a plus, and not an XR.
So I use this, a protective beanie...
It's NOT a helmet, and they make that very clear on the website and the warning inside the beanie, but while it's not as good as a helmet, it's better than nothing at all.
I ride slow speeds, cruising by the beach on flat concrete. I dont do any tricks or go on any unpaved terrain. I'm not a fan of traditional helmets and I found myself wanting to wear nothing. When I found this, I decided to give it a try. Definitely not a helmet, but it does add some level of protection in the event my head contacts the pavement. Its snug for my head, as I would be a large most likely in a hat (I'm 6 foot 5, and my head isnt huge but it isnt small either). Its not the most comfortable thing, but it isnt too bad, and I love the concept. The one I went with was the thrashe hat.
I also have a bern, but I hate how bulky it is. It looks so giant, even though it fits snug. I shouldn't care how dorky it looks, but I like being somewhat more discreet when it comes to helmets. I'm 41, and I dont care what anyone thinks of how "cool" I look, but I'm not a fan of bulky helmets. I might wanna try a thousand.
Anyways, check out the link... its certainly an interesting avenue.
@OneDan said in Super inexpensive XR with only 131 miles, new front bumper, and charger included:
@SixFootFiveGuy Had my + on here for a week with no bites. Put it on Facebook Marketplace, was sold the same day locally. Might want to give that a try if you haven't already. GLWS!!!
Thanks for the advice! This old man doesnt even have Facebook 🤦♂️, but I do have it posted on craigslist and offerup. I might have someone put it on Facebook marketplace for me. Good call.
Oddly enough, I still have this XR for sale. I've had tons of interest but everyone flakes before even meeting up. If anyone has a desire for an XR, maybe as an extra for guests, or to compliment their Pint, or maybe their first and only board, this thing is solid! 131 miles, and works perfect. The first 1250 takes it.
Thanks all!
I personally couldn't imagine using a $1,000 (Pint) or $2000 (XR) electronic device in any conditions other than dry weather, simply due to the nature of them being electronic devices (even if said to be waterproof). That said, it is strange that they advertise them as being able to be ridden in water but won't warranty against water damage.
I dunno, I think I will always just play it safe and only take it out of the house when it's completely dry out.
I hope they take care of you, and this topic is a good heads up for everyone considering riding in wet conditions.
