Onewheel Vs. Mountainboard - Extreme Testing
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- These days there's no shortage of electric boards to choose from. Onewheel, mountainboards, esk8, all-street, off-road. How is one to choose? We'll take a look at two distinct form factors to give you a better idea of what might be best suited to your riding style.
My buddy, Mike, and I will go head-to-head, him on his Onewheel XR and me on my Trampa Mountainboard. We'll go off-road and hit the trail to see where each board shines and where they might fall short. Let's put these things through their paces with tight corners, steep terrain, trail riding and even a drag race!
Which would you rather shred on? Or do you have another personal favorite? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to here what you guy's think!

Great video. For me, it's mountainboard all the way. Mine is the Ecomobl Telum BA 4WD model. It tears up the tracks like a beast.
Great video. Those of us who are dedicated Onewheel trail riders make serious upgrades to our boards which might level the playing field a bit with the mountain board. Treaded tires, WTF rails, reinforced bumpers and upgraded batteries add way more torque, range, speed and traction.
I told Mike to rock the treaded tires, but he said the power isn't the same. I think they look badass!
agreed! cool idea regardless! Skill plays a huge part in getting the true high speeds Onewheels can get
@@UNPAVEDTV try one wheel gt
@@UNPAVEDTV Can actually be more power with certain rounder tires. Less surface area = more power to the ground. Add a softer compound to the mix and it'll eat up dirt trails.
Would be great to have a re-shoot of this but with a GT, that thing has more of everything over the XR
I think we’re gonna do that now that the GT is more readily available. The GT wasn’t out when we filmed this.
or might go for an XR VESC if you can gwt your feet on one :)
Definitely thinking about this live my XR but first thing I noticed when I got it was it needed more torque
Quality production and great analysis of the riding capabilities of each board! As a Onewheeler, I'm biased, but other ridable EVs each have their fun aspects too...and all that matters is that you're having fun!!
Thank you for the support!
The dood on the OneWheel had skills. I secretly hate my OneWheel but I want to love it. I tend to take my Esk8 boards way more.
Amazing comparison. I've been riding my onewheel for a while now on dirt, pavement and snow but the mountain board is awesome. I would love to see a second part where you try the boards on groomed snow trails.
I’ve been watching your videos and they’re AMAZING I just want to say one more time it was great meeting you in Tahoe with my dad!
I really want to try and e-mountain board. The one wheels are fun playing around with but I feel that the e-boards will be way more capable
Awesome video!
Great video, I’ve been thinking about getting a mountain board alongside my onewheel Pint.
Get a plus xr, CBXR mod (chip if required and go to a stoke shop to do it for ya if later than 4210/4144), techrails, crazy hubs axle block carriers, air pad, front grip tape, fishbones (barracudas), tfl Enduro tire, float life savers, bang bumpers, tfl bearings. It's a godsend. Also recommend badger
Great video. I thought for sure you had at least 200000 subs. You will grow fast I bet.
I looked this video up because I wanted to try something on the trails by my house. I clicked your video and thought its perfect because it looks just like the trails I go to.
Then I realized you parked under the same tree that I do. and it actually is the trails that I planned on going to haha (Agua tibia temecula)
Hahahah! Thats awesome! Yeah its a great place to train. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
This video is AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing
These look so wild to ride! Must take some serious getting used to!
I'd love to see an Ungovered Vendetta thrown into this mix . . .
Hey i know you we´re comparing the eletric capabilities of the one wheel and the mountainboard but you should feel a regular mountainboard. Without the battery and the motors you can feel the dirt even better, try going down a small hill with it. train your slides and you´ll see the similarities to snowboarding! Hug from Portugal and the portuguese mountainboard scene!! :D
you will get better in cornering a mountainboard when you learn to drift it or hop the front around, but i guess you already know by now :D really enjoyed the video :)
Great video, You should re shoot this with a gt in place of an xr. Way more of everything in a gt.
Cool video.
You should of added an electric unicycle in this competition.
I'm sure the bindings make you FEEL much more secured om the Mountainbord,
but I've done my share of off-roading and never really wished I had those.
I certainly prefer being able to jump off, rather than being able to push it a little harder,
but then fall on my face / (silicone) butt.
I think that the Onewheel can make those tight turns because it is inherently unstable. Although this is great for turning it's not so good for cruising. The wide 4 wheel footprint of the skateboard just makes it more stable, faster and makes it easily track in a straight line.
Great video! Where is the location? Looks like a fun, onewheel race venue!
Let's face it. It all comes down to the trail your on. Me I'm glad I choose the onewheel. However I've been on some wide open fire roads a mountain board would be awesome on
2:01 this is what were here for.
I want both 🤟🤣😎
Good video, definitely don’t like the idea of being hard strapped to board”
Aside from this being non biased and concise and obviously there's a lot of new one wheels available that are far more powerful. I found this very hilarious and refreshing. And the twerking part made me Nearly choke on my coffee
I like both, but I dunno if I would feel good with a board strapped top me feet
What helmets are you guys wearing? Motocross or downhill mountain bike
Link to buy mountainboard?
I could slalom those bales on my trampa bro just gotta loosen the trucks and lean hard/ride wide af. You gotta close up and lower your stance a bit on that board bro. Will feel better and more balanced. What ratio and kvs did you got for?
Looks about as exciting as watching a brain tumour grow
Lack of power has to be my biggest complaint on my Onewheel. My e-skates rip up hill in comparison.
How about the beach?
Great video ! Where is this trail? few few mtb tips, try and keep the shoulders as parallel to the board as much as possible, especially when jumping as the board will want to rotate if they are not. 70% body weight the the rear of the board helps traction especially when cornering. Check out Trampa’s channel for some awesome videos 😁
Thank you for the support! Its in Temecula, totally agree with your advice!
@@UNPAVEDTV I’ll hopefully make it up there sometime 🤟🤟 here’s a video of my recent eskate adventures! czcams.com/video/_YrdrDkaL6A/video.html
GREEEEEEEEEEEEAT track at 3:01
u need to do this with a gt one wheel
That track looks good for a BMX.
haahha this guy is funny AF.
I love my XR to death but that Mountainboard is SEXY! Might grab myself one
Juste what kind of board is it how about speed I mean how fast is it
Came for the comparisons of the boards and stayed for the twerking! 😆
2:14 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
The new Onewheel GT would have killed that hill unlike the XR, and it's a lot faster as well if that matters to you. I personally don't care to go much faster than 20
2:43 vid begins here.
This video will blow up in no time. How do you have only 473 subs?

before 1k subs gang
👇
look into vesc onewheels
too op
I have the "Raldey wasp pro" electric mountain board and it has no bindings. Makes it easier to bail out in an emergency. Fuck bindings.
it would be easier too control your turn if you did not lock your feet in
Can we get that tune on Spotify?
Not sure I have to pay for royalty free music from a company, so thats where I get my music from. Or I make it. Thank you for the support!
Should have used a GT or XR with upgrades for trail riding
Why wear the straps on the board? Never thought of riding like that seems ineffective
Where's the park at?
Vail Lake in Temecula, California 🤙
@@UNPAVEDTV Thanks man, looks awesome!
My first real unicycle!(first one was a cheap plastic one as a kid czcams.com/users/postUgkx4e2fa6x27dF7shCelntq0ZIKt4N0jELI I never learned to ride)So, this is a true learner, and for a C note, exactly what was needed. After a few weeks, I'm able to easily ride up and down the street. The Good: Solid frame. Has absorbed numerous spills through learning and still solid. Look - great looks, after 6 weeks of bashing Weight - it's really all tire, but as I fall I can easily grab the seat so it doesn't slam the ground. Size - Very adjustable. I'm 6', 33" inseam. I put it mostly up, but could go a bit higher if I needed to. The Bad: Not sure if it's out of the norm, but seat got scraped up quickly. Pedals - they are a bit uncomfortable and I can't get the right feel on my feet. But, they are solid and haven't been damaged at all as I've seen in reviews on other cycle's.- To address one comment about the seat connection not straight. Huh? Seat is on a round pole, you just turn it and it's straight. Either of the bad I expected to replace once I improved. I'd recommend to anyone else in the learning phase.
Try a euc and you will forget these toys.
?
Thumbs up just for the twerking.
It would be more interesting if it was two experienced riders,both with a race setup.
Yeah but not everybody can ride like Nathan Jenkins! When I do a UK UNPAVED trip I will definitely hit you up.
Try comparing the repairability of a Trampa to a one wheel 😂
The fastest e-mountainboarder will beat the fastest one wheeler 10/10 times, especially with the advancements in eboards over the last year
Dude should have brought out a GT...
Gt is a turd on trail
Now do the comparison with an electric unicycle with suspension (or even a recent model without suspension) and get completely owned in every single category....
true (I have a Sherman OG and CPro etc) but its still fun to experience other sensations, sold my XR onewheel (also had an XR650R recently) since even the mten4 at half price is far more capable in every way, but now getting esk8 too.. :)
i mean tht onewheel is on slick tires tho. no real traction on that terrain
Man you look like your having a blast, but I’ve got to say Onewheels feel amazing and the experience is nothing like a e skate. And no offense to your friend, but he’s not the greatest Onewheeler, I could of smoked him on those trails! But still great vid.
Lol😂
Make this video again vs a GT or a Floatwheel 😒
There are cheaper, more powerful boards as well. U could save 600- instead of a GT, u could get a board that goes 35-40mph with full suspension with huge range.
That's the thing about competition. It makes the product better, drives prices down. With no direct competitor, Onewheel stays crazy expensive but underpowered.
For instance, an electric unicycle with GT specs only cost $850. At GT price- an electric unicycle is 50+mph capable, with full suspension.
I’m gonna guess that mountain boards are better in everyway. My experience on the onewheel is that the battery life SUCKS. My friends and I rode some trails in oregon and the battery’s could barely support a BASIC trail with a 1.2 mile loop. Going uphill at all completely destroys the battery life. I have not rode a Mountain board but from what I’ve seen in the videos they are far superior to the onewheel this includes the GT.
Hi Hoody, thank you for the comment. I would say its really personal preference. I love the MB because you are strapped in and can really maneuver. I like the raw power, and the battery life is WAY better. Give it a try you will love it too. That being said the One Wheel certainly has its place, I have seen some people really rip on them! Stay tuned here as we are going to release some awesome new segments on this sport soon!
something must be fucked with your OW battery man 1.2mile loop is nothing. my GT goes 19 miles on trails.
Onewheel GT would of crushed that track easy
O dude, my EUC woulda destroyed both of yous on those trails (& likely any trail). You guys look so slow. Get into a wheel & I guarantee you'll love it.
A more experienced rider on the mountain board would destroy the one wheel. It's fairly obvious you don't have a ton of experience on the board.
Yeah I don’t get why ppl get the XR. I got the GT bc obv it’s better in every way.
Not as trail worthy as a onewheel.
Electric unicycles are superior to both.
Why is this 11 minutes?
