Pint or pint X for 8 years old
-
Hello.
I want to buy a onewheel for my boy 8 years and around 30kg.
Is pint enough or is better to find a pint X ?
I will try also (88kg) but if I find this good I would perhaps by amocher one for me.
Thanks

@bigorne for your son a regular pint would be more than enough. You may need to experiment with his footwear so the footpad detects him as some shoes with less weight is hard to detect.
For yourself a PintX would be great. You should both get similar enough range currently to enjoy rides together :)

@lia for 88kg (which is around 200 pounds) I would suggest a GT instead. The PintX would struggle a bit..

bout footpad detection on a lighter rider is worth keeping in mind — at 30kg an 8-year-old may need some experimentation to get consistent engagement, so testing in person before buying makes sense. The comment about the rider at 88kg struggling on a PintX is also fair; if you end up wanting your own board for regular riding at that weight, a model with more power would likely suit you better than sharing the same spec as your son. Starting him on the regular Pint seems the sensible choice.
