Since the Pint’s announcement, information and footage of this latest Onewheel model have been somewhat scarce. Most insights have come from Onewheel promotional videos and supervised test rides conducted by popular YouTubers like Jesse Driftwood, MKBHD, and others. Float Life members Slydogstroh and Bodhi Harrison also had the opportunity to test the Pint.
Video footage of the Pint has revealed a slight wobble, described as “squirrelier” or “agile” due to its smaller and rounder tire compared to the XR. Initial test rides showcased some wobbling, raising concerns about stability.
However, these wobbles are not a significant worry. They may actually benefit new riders, as it will likely take them a bit longer to get comfortable on the Pint due to the side-to-side wobble. This might discourage them from attempting risky high-speed records too soon. With larger safety margins built into the Pint, it could reduce the risk of nosedives during speed challenges.
As the Pint becomes more widespread and reaches a younger audience, the initial wobble could serve as a reminder of the Onewheel’s limits and safety requirements. Experienced riders, like those featured in videos, can manage the wobble, which may even enhance their maneuvering capabilities and tricks.
In summary, while the Pint exhibits a bit of wobbling initially, it’s a new experience that riders will adapt to over time. It might just be the “Ripper” Onewheel enthusiasts have been waiting for, offering a different, but exciting, riding experience.
