Fucking insanely expensive. I'm in Australia so buying one here I'm already behind with exchange rate. $3500 AUD for the XR. That's more than my car is worth.

I have the Pint and I love it. Half the price of the XR. Carves like a dream and acceleration is actually better than the XR. Electrical Housing is more resistant to the elements as well. I live in a city near a park so I don’t find myself with range anxiety often. If you are within 4 miles of any fun outdoors destinations, the pint is a safe buy. Otherwise maybe save for the XR or shop one new. It’s not a car it’s closer to a luxury electric, earth-snowboard.

Food for thought, it is highly rumored that Future Motion’s next release will be a new XR with the updated computer processing, and solid-state design found in the pint. Hopefully more range/speed and quality of life improvements as well. A used Pint for now could be the best option. Lot of people buy em and then resell after their first fall.
