I pulled the trigger on a Pint S this season after years of lurking and daydreaming about it, and have been extremely impressed so far!

For context, I am a bigger dude, 6ft, about 230lb geared up, and size 13 US shoes. I had never really ridden a Onewheel, and had never done any other board sports whatsoever, so I was hesitant about buying one. I also needed a pint sized board for a few random reasons and of course most comments about that issue say you should get an XR or GT if you’re much over 200lb. 

Well I finally ignored all that and ordered a Pint S. I figured the footpads would be good for my gunboat feet, and the tire had pretty good reviews.

Well I’m happy to report the Pint S has exceeded all of my expectations! I found the board very easy and intuitive to learn (maybe zero board sports experience actually helped with this?). After a few cautious laps around the block, I took it out on a 12 mile cruise my second day, and the day after that I was on off-road trails at a nearby park. I was really impressed by how well this “little” board handled some of the hillier, and bumpier terrain. 

I was originally worried about the power and torque it would provide at my weight, especially since some of the areas I wanted to ride are pretty hilly. Thankfully I haven’t had any issues at all, and the board has cruised me up some of the steepest hills in my neighborhood without any issues.

After a little time on it, it feels very stable for me at all speeds, right up til I get haptic buzz around 18mph. I haven’t pushed the speed at all, and this seems pretty on par with other Pint X/S reviews I’ve seen. I’ve really only gone on one long ride and got 12 miles with 7% remaining, and fairly fast cruising, with lots of stops and starts, so I reckon I could milk more miles out of it if I tried. I haven’t messed with the tire pressure at all, and have left it on the Pacific setting. 

Thanks to the community and this sub for encouraging me to take the plunge into this fun new hobby!

TLDR: Pint S is easy to learn, comfortable, and absolutely rips for a 230lb rider!
