For the “US Free Shipping” Is that USPS, UPS, or FedEx? How long does it usually take to ship once it leaves your facility? And how long does it usually take to leave your facility? Hope to hear back from you soon so I can order it.
@joshgrn Take it very steady under 30% charge to avoid nose diving.
A low battery runaway case is rare but can indicate a fault. Normally in a low voltage state the board will try to lift the nose really high till the tail drags to force you off. Take your front foot off completely and tail drag it till it stops. Avoid running the battery that low.
@Mykv craft n ride had a sale recently for free international shipping. Try connecting with those guys for a deal. Flight Fins wanted $70US to ship to Australia. CnR were $50US before the sale came up.
There will be tyre sellers in NZ, but may not be the best tyres for a OW. I work with a guy who races karts and tried a used dunlop from him. Wasn't a good experience. Very square profile, so a step backwards from the Vega even.
The Hoosier distributer in Australia didn't have the right tyre but could get it in. You could try hooking up with other NZ guys and order a bunch in.
Finally got a photo worth sharing. We have some awesome snakes in Australia. This one is pretty plain. A non-venomous python slowly gliding across the road as i was heading home tonight.
@admdavis agreed, and recently suggested, via survey, the same to FM, but ALSO coming audibly from the board itself- my BT is never rock-solid with the OW (and rarely solid with other internet of things owned.) I love bluetooth, but wouldn’t trust it to be on time the moment I needed it most... I bled miserably from a speed cutout (wearing headphones) but think an audible, and perhaps a blinky visual too from status light is worth considering for next gen OWs.
