Strengths
- 20 mph top speed and GearJunkie found it fast, responsive, and genuinely capable on easy off-road trails, a real step past the Pint X's hard 17-18 mph ceiling
- Performance treaded tire (wider than the Pint X's) improves grip, cornering, and confidence on loose surfaces
- 15% more front-pad sensor area plus flare footpads from the factory, addresses the sensor-disengagement complaints that dogged earlier Pints
- Tip and tail kick give better control for curbs and trail features
- Same easy-carry 27 lb form factor; four app ride modes scale from a 12 mph beginner cap upward
Weaknesses
- $1,400 is only $100-150 from Pint X street pricing while range stays in the same 12-18 mile band, the upgrade is speed and tire, not endurance
- GearJunkie's subtitle said it plainly: 'the good, the bad, and the crashy', single-wheel boards punish overconfidence, and 20 mph on one wheel demands gear and respect
- Future Motion ecosystem applies in full: firmware-locked batteries, no third-party packs, and the company's right-to-repair litigation history
- 27 lbs is light for the category but the smaller wheel still transmits potholes more than GT-class boards
- No published IP rating; water exposure is a warranty gamble

The Pint S is Future Motion’s 2024 refresh of the small-board formula, and it fixes the two things owners complained about most on the Pint and Pint X: the timid speed ceiling and the grip. Top speed rises to 20 mph, meaningfully past the Pint X’s aggressive 17 mph pushback wall, and the wider performance treaded tire transforms cornering confidence, especially on the hardpack and gravel that small Onewheels were never quite happy on. GearJunkie’s reviewer called it fast, responsive, and deeply enjoyable on streets and easy trails alike.
The quieter improvements matter just as much. The front footpad gains 15% more sensor area, directly addressing the heel-lift disengagement complaints that filled Pint owner forums for years, and the flare footpads that used to be an aftermarket upgrade now ship from the factory. Tip and tail kicks make curb hops and trail features less sketchy. Range stays in the same 12-18 mile claimed band as the Pint X, this refresh is about control, not endurance.
The honest caveats: GearJunkie’s review title included the word “crashy” for a reason. A 20 mph single-wheel board is an unforgiving physics problem; the nosedive risk that triggered Future Motion’s 2023 CPSC recall on older models is managed, not eliminated, by better sensors and ride modes. Wrist guards and a helmet are the price of entry. And the ecosystem critique applies unchanged, batteries are firmware-paired to the controller, third-party packs are locked out, and the r/onewheel community’s right-to-repair grievances with Future Motion are well documented.
Against its sibling: at our June check the Pint S ran $1,400 to the Pint X’s $1,300. For most buyers the newer board is the better $100, the tire, sensors, and speed headroom are worth more than the X’s slightly longer track record. Riders chasing range or power should look at the GT S-Series and accept the price jump.
