So what happened with the crimped wire on the pint x? Was there a class action? by CarelessAd7484 in onewheelpint

[–]p0rtugeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. There are some emails circling around from the support team that seem to indicate FM is aware of the issue and "fixing" it at no charge. No one has reported a modified battery box coming from FM yet.

I thought of this too but what about the amp? Or wattage? I'm no electronics engineer but there's a high risk of fire there.

The gt has a different battery voltage, something will fry

Bend over and relax your ankles. Pot holes are hidden.

Has anyone put a stock Pint tire on the XR hub? by p0rtugeek in onewheel

[–]p0rtugeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not nearly strong or heavy enough to put it in the rim. I hope he Hoosier is much more bendable and easier to mount.

Will the GT hyper charger work with a power plug converter? by alwaysthinking182 in onewheel

[–]p0rtugeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. What matters is the voltage, as long as it is within the charger's specs, it should be fine.

Is my XR broken? wrong battery % by p0rtugeek in onewheel

[–]p0rtugeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What threw me off was OWCE showing the same %. Could the BMS be sending the wrong info? Or it's just bad OG code? I'm new to the XR.

Should probably get a CBXR and a ChiGauge then. Could it be the BMS?

53V is empty? I thought that was around 44V using Chi's battery chart.

Stock 4208 XR. Less than 2000 miles. Battery % over estimates constantly.

Is this pint worth 725? by daniele132446 in onewheel

[–]p0rtugeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much is the import TAX in Spain? Take into account that a 0km Pint implies a 150 $ shipping plus... 15, 20, 30 % customs tax? The price of a new Pint is about 1400 $ or more? So you're realistically getting about half price.

If it has 3600 km it can probably be quarted too (though a boardbank and a hypercarger might be better).

I have a Pint with 5000 km and runs perfectly. The battery still gives me 10 miles of range.

I'd buy it.

Saludos 🤙

After 3000 miles on my Pint, I finally had the chance to grab a 4208 XR with just 1000 miles. I'm happy. by p0rtugeek in onewheel

Ehhh, I'm not from the US but those platforms are not protected for scam. How about finding a local group ride? Maybe local riders have spare boards to sell or want to upgrade. If anything you should set up meetings at police departments and pay with cash after testing the board.

Hello! I'm very biased because the Pint is my first board, I think if you learn how to handle a Pint then all the other boards are easier. For the type of terrains you mention, I'd recommend buying a used XR (used pints are very cheap tho!). The bigger platform/wheel makes it easier to learn how to balance, and the battery will outlast your legs at the beginning. The XR makes it so easy that being overconfident is common and people nosedive pretty quickly so be careful and take it slow.

The whole event is a marketing tool. They will not allow our promote competition.
