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.

Enjoy the silly gif, getting good at these lol.
Indeed you are! This is quite professional!
@HanahsDax Haha, thanks! I love my Pint and I’ve always admired the dedication of the people on the leaderboards, so it feels really cool to join the group.
Pint isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t have any kind of attitude - so I just keep on waving to little kids and old ladies wherever I ride, and just basically try to have a happy time whether I’m in the city, on country highways or forest trails. Float life. 🤙

Have some more pics, nearly done the controller housing
(MK11... I probably spent as much prototyping as I would have just buying a working board lol)
Here it is in the real world. CAD drawings aren't any good unless you can turn them into a physical object.
Why have I not yet put it in the Pint?
Well the big heat sink won't reach the PCB to draw heat away yet. Currently I'd need a 2.5-3mm thick thermal pad to bridge the gap since the standoffs (made to spec) raise the board.
I've got a 2mm thick aluminium sheet coming so I can place that in the gap I left creating a physical pad reaching up to touch the PCB (between a thermal pad like stock)
Once that arrives I'll cut it down, attach it to the top of the 3mm plate with the spacer surrounding it (hence the cutout in the top print shown earlier).
Once complete as I probably mentioned before I'll be uploading the CAD, BOM and some instructions on how to make one too.
Kept it in the realm of possibility for anyone with basic tools... excluding that M20x1.5 tap which isn't common... shush they're cheap :)
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?

awsome Lia! you are great at capturing character, but the x-stream girl from planet Catwheel is still a ghost!
so glad you got the time "off" to do this.
ps the tiedye looks great
