Great product.
Pint had it's time.
When the OneWheel+ XR** 2.0?
(easy sustained 20 mph, + another batch of miles to the range?)
...footpad led, simple stop option, pint style battery box protection on fender/delete, better connector housing, tire options, pint/XR pushback option, better water protection,
don't hold your breath.
From the sound of it, FM may have been consolidating it's EV-MFG infrastructure since the Pint. Possibly with the intentions of leasing their infrastructure to other manufacturers. If true, it's smart bc it permits a broader product base to hedge their risk. That lowers costs, which increases profits, which in turn permits greater diversification of their own product line. It would also have provided a long RnD cycle to develop the next iteration of the Onewheel.
Considering how polished the Pint is, I would not be surprised if a new XR is actually quite far into development. Well past an initial prototype. 100v batteries are a thing now, and a 1000w hub motor probably wouldn't be all that out of the question. Just a matter of engineering.
@blkwalnutgrwr Nice one! Shame I missed it but thanks for sharing the screenie~
Seems like you and Frank are going to be racing eachother up the ranks now ;)

@SirguIt Cheers :)
The reed switch still works at a decent distance so I'll be able to put the extra 3mm worth of float plate on top. I ended up swapping the door reed sensor for the bare component which was much more sensitive so worked at a greater distance and allows me to just wave my hand along the rail to activate/ deactivate.
Working on putting one in the XR but have yet to verify that it doesn't somehow pickup any magnetic noise within the controller and turn off mid-ride lol.
Pre-covid I was planning a 6 month+ road trip across the US. I'd just secured my visa before the situation started to spiral and I decided to take a rain check.
For later in the year if I'm lucky, or more likely next year, I'd like to bring my OneWheel XR+. Now obviously this can't fly with me, so how does one ship items with batteries? Is there a boat based shipping process I can transport the board with?
People do this for repairs at Future Motion, right?

Had a long ride around my town earlier. Took my GF back to the airport since her time here was up. Rode around all the places I took her to see while she was here and finished up at the old castle mound. It's by far my favourite spot and have to resist taking yet another picture up there each time I visit.... but I can't help myself when it looks this pretty.
Looks like that tree I mentioned the other month might be getting cut down. More branches have been taken down and additional "No Cross PLZ" tape has been put in place. Sad to see since it's such a massive tree, I can't imagine how old it is, will certainly find out if they end up reducing it to a stump :(
One last pic, another spot where we went. We followed a little stream running alongside a wooded area backing onto a new housing development. Last week I jumped it to stand on a small bit of land where the stream meandered around it however on this trip someone stuck a stick where I had been. It looked like a cool staff with how the top expanded and hollowed out as if you could place something in the middle. The temptation to take it home with me was insane but I respected someone's desire to have it there.
Got a great idea for a new Onewheel feature, improvement or accessory?
