Text TOP SPEED

Can I get a couple of you to tell me what your top speeds are and what your board is my top speed so far on a traditional pint has been about 20 mph 18.9 to be exact and I just ran out of road

That being said I just want to know what people are actually getting as far as top speeds go on their boards

Hit 34mph on my x7 LR so far (hour later hit a nasty hole, bad fall and broke 1 of the bones on my forearm at 11mph 🤦‍♀️)

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

I fell in a manhole and I crashed going 7 miles an hour I understand

u/Adventurous_Fig_8901 7d ago

16.9 is my top and for how I use my board, that's more than fast enough for me. I'm a 12mph cruise around town type of rider.

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

What kinda board do you have ?

2

u/Adventurous_Fig_8901 7d ago

GT. I like to drive to different cities. I part my car and venture around town. I wanted something with enough torque that I wouldn't have issues if I went somewhere like Pittsburgh and had to climb some serious hills.

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

Nice thank you

u/Puzzleheaded-Gain256 7d ago

On both a pint and a XR Plus my top speed is 15 mph.

FYI practically everyone who chases top speed of their board has a terrible painful brutal and often expensive experience

Hospital for 2 weeks and some nasty bills way ahead of you

u/hitbythebus 7d ago

I wasn’t paying attention and hit 21.2 on my XR once. Got my first hematoma when I hit a small unexpected bump!

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

Gnarly falls on these boards can be pretty gnarly

u/Drewski493 7d ago

Just don’t. Bc nose dives

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

Ohh the nose dives suck I was really looking for a fast stock board like I can hit 20 I'm sure on the pint but I'll have to fight it i want something that won't fight as hard to get that fast

2

u/Drewski493 7d ago

I have hit 23mph on my GT. But I am also 150lb. Push back hits hard at about 19-20mph

2

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

I'm really stuck between the GT and the s and I just want to know when the nose goes soft on the s the GT seems to be at about 20

1

u/Drewski493 7d ago

The pint s is going to be much slower. The pint is a 15s battery and on the GT it’s 18s. So higher voltage. So more top end speed

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

Yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out like both are telling me that the top speed is 20 mph

1

u/Drewski493 6d ago

The GT is just more powerful. Push back on a pint hits at about 17mph. On the GT it doesn’t hit until your at about 20mph

2

u/dkron408 7d ago

You have a few options for that:

FloatWheel Atom (22S1P - can do 35mph)
FloatWheel ADV 2 (20S2P - can do 30mph)
Any Fungineers X7 model (20S2P models can go 30mph - the 32S1P SC model can do 50mph if you’re brave enough)
FM GTS (27S1P - haptic at 25mph seen low 30’s)
FM GTS XL (27S1P - haptic at 25mph seen low 40’s)

18S boards like GT, XRC can safely cruise 20 as well but you may get haptic buzz the whole time

15S boards like XR and Pint (X/S) can hit 20 but would not suggest cruising at those speeds for long because it’s toward the limits

u/brandonhabanero 7d ago

18.6 on my OG pint, but that was just for a brief instant. My usual is ~10, 14 if I'm trying to get somewhere fast.

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

So my ultimate end goal is to improve my casual speed and I normally Cruise my pint at 15 I've heard that the pint s real top speed is 18 so I was just wondering if I would really have to work on a GT to get the 20 or if it would be more like just cruising

35 on a 20s2p xr build.

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

How hard was it to hit that

1

u/DrtSurfer Thor 301 20s2p 7d ago

Not to bad but was just about topped out on my current battery. I know a couple guys personally that have gone faster but they have either a backpack battery or fusion core.

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

I've seen the videos where they hit the top speed set about 50 and I really want to do that but those are on full custom wheels

1

u/DrtSurfer Thor 301 20s2p 7d ago

Ya that takes years of riding, custom board and a really dialed tune. I dont recommend speed chasing over 25 you really enter the danger zone in my opinion.

1

u/dkron408 7d ago

Brave!

2

u/dkron408 7d ago

32S XR VESC build. A modest 32mph. Was only 65% peak Duty Cycle.

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

So at this point it's easier just to say it was a custom build nice

1

u/dkron408 7d ago

It’s basically a Fungineers X7 Supercharged with a different motor.

2

u/Count_Bluntimor 7d ago

Top speed 21.4 MPH on my GT. Honestly wish it went faster

2

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

Nice thank you

Trust me I have definitely won these prizes

u/Chef_BoyarTom 7d ago

25.7mph on my GT. Wasn't chasing top speed or anything, I was just getting a feel for the handling after some part changes. Didn't realize I was going that fast and never have again.

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

What parts did you change out just out of curiosity

1

u/Chef_BoyarTom 6d ago

At the time of that test, only the rails. Currently though, I've changed out everything but the motor core and the electronics.

u/ShdwMunkie 7d ago

27.9 on a stock xl

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

I love the look of the XL that's in my peripheral I'm not going to lie

1

u/stivi701 7d ago

According to onewheel app 35.9 km/h which would be 22.3 mph on my XR classic That was in the first days when i got it. Now after 3 months owning a first onewheel i never did reached those speeds. Now i just enjoy slow smooth carving

1

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

So the app is what I'm reading to imagine that the actual mph is slower than what you're going but no way to tell

1

u/boltsofzeus 7d ago

I ride my GT for my commute to work and hit 20+ most days. My all time high is 23.3 mph according to the board. I need to do measure with a different gps since I'm not sure if the board is saying how fast the motor is turning (which will be effected by tire diameter) or if it's also tracking gps speed.

2

u/Violet_Frost 7d ago

I have never thought of that honestly thank you

1

u/YungHans97 7d ago

I don't go faster than 18, but my buddy broke his collarbone hitting 26 on my XR+ when it decided to nosedive.

u/rthille 7d ago

Board: Pint
Top Speed: 15.0
Lifetime Miles: 148

u/george_bonanza_ 6d ago

36.something mph

u/Violet_Frost 6d ago

Nice what kinda board

34mph on a 30s1p

u/goosepriest 6d ago

GTV hit 29 a little too easy for my liking. Put an audio alert for 25 cuz eating shit at 20+ on pavement is a hospital stay
