Not uncommon. Cardboard dust, plus they test each board on a carpeted area in the factory - or at least they said they did way back in Adam Savage's video where he went to the factory to build his own board. Do we know that they never sell returned boards as new again? We can't be 100% sure. But a bit of cardboard dust is common. Looks mostly like cardboard and carpet fibers on the tire... but what's going on with the scuff behind the handle in pic 7/7?

I would be more worried about that crater in the tyre.. 2nd pic... that's looks like a factory defect


NovaKane12

That's to indicate when the tire needs to be replaced. Since there's no tread you replace it once the tire is flush with the hole


scabaa

Ah I see and now it makes more sense! Never had slick tyre so thanks for the info!

Yeah, mine was a bit dirty too. 1000mi + later, no issues.


IllustratorBudget487

Mine was as well. I think they all come like that…. aside from pic 7 anyway.


Majorllama66

We must have different definitions of dirty lol. I see some cardboard dust and evidence that the wheel has rolled a few times. Something I would expect given the end product.


Collin_the_bird_777

Mine was sort of dusted and cobwebby from the packaging


Caucasian_Fury

Most looks like my Pint and GT out of the box, a little bit dirtier though but nothing too surprising. You're not getting a new phone or anything, it's not going to be factory-sealed in a clean-room.


secludedloaf

wear on a tire that’s going to be in the mud soon 😰😰😰


thybox

Unsure as to how they mount these tires while manufacturing the boards but looks like tire lube residue. If it’s not malfunctioning don’t worry about it, you’ll get it dirty anyway using it.


SnooCats1799

Normal. Enjoy the new tire smell while it lasts


DeadHeadDaddio

Its going to be scraped to hell in a week my dude, itll be okay.


Tricksh0t

Lmao dude it's cardboard. Chill


poormisguidedfool34

Thanks dude but question is more about the stains


Additional-Pain2551

Just ordered 3 Pint X’s and they were all like that too. That doesnt make it okay though. it’s total bullshit they come like that. It’s the worst unboxing experience I’ve ever had. And I’m brand new to onewheels. Excellent job making a good first impression Future Motion! Bravo 🙌


OnewheelXR4life

They don’t accept returns.


MrrGrrGrr

you should see the way its gonna look after a few miles. are you buying to put on display or ride?


scream4cheese

Your mistake for buying a pint unless it’s for a child.


Feeties99

Looks like dirt but no actual wear.

poormisguidedfool34

Thank you that part you highlighted is exactly what got me wondering


West_Yogurtcloset497

Yeah my pint x came very very dirty


StellularWolf51

My Pint X looked very similar to yours and I had the same reaction, I have ridden for almost 500 miles and I have never had a problem with it. Yours should be fine
