The product is unparalleled, but their decisions aren't always consumer-friendly. For a Trustpilot review, I will say that I have only had good experiences with Future Motion in my four years of riding. I usually buy boards second-hand, so I don't always go through them. My Pint X broke a year and a half ago. I submitted a ticket, received a shipping label, and got the board back in the mail about 2 weeks later. This isn't a huge deal for me, since my Pint X was my 'other' board for riding with friends or doing random tricks I would want a light board for. When I got it back, they had replaced the entire battery module. Clearly, after 600 miles on that board, the battery must have a pretty severe design flaw to make it cut out so soon, but they honored their warranty and the repair was free. I have opted to go the DIY route for riding Onewheels in the future because I'm capable of making repairs on my own when needed, but FM provides a top-to-bottom easy solution for transportation, fun, and unique adventure! I would recommend a pint to anyone on a tight budget and wanting to ride. A Pint X is a better option for those who are skeptical but not on a budget - resale values for Pint X on the used market are closer to the new value. The GT is probably where I would point everyone over 175 lbs, who loves to ride very far, or with big feet. You can find them second-hand for about $1600 on the low end. I got mine for $1500 with 5 miles on it, came with a Hypercharger and everything! If you're a first-time rider, don't waste your money on a GT S-Series. Yes, those boards are fast, but it takes time to build muscle memory and balance to let you reach a consistent 20 mph, let alone 25 or beyond. Pricing for GT-S is through the roof because dedicated racers will pay any amount in sponsor money for the fastest board, not because it's more expensive to manufacture. (It's actually cheaper than a GT from the factory, considering it has 9 fewer battery cells and it shares most of the assembly line with the GT)
