  @OneDan - That’s fantastic! Have you had to replace the tire yet? Anything else, or has it held up well? Also... wondering about weather. I’ve heard some say it is better to not ride it in the rain because it wears out the wheel bearings a lot faster. Have you found this to be true?

  @SirCarvesAlot I find the Burris to be a little more stable than the FF Hoosier. Personal choice. First thing I would upgrade is the tail and grip tape. It's a personal preference thing again but between the OneTail, Cobra and Kush, I went with Kush pad from The Float Life. They have a great blend of grip tape also which I put on my front pad. This is the best mod to date for me. The tail lets you carve harder, have less fatigue and really stay planted when on trails. After that I would look at tire options. What type of riding do you do the most? The Vega does break in after a couple hundred miles, especially if you're carving a lot, but the other are still far superior for handle-ability. Have anyone near you who rides? Facebook has a lot of local riding groups, that's how I've been able to try all the aftermarket products out there.

  @isucatgolf the FM launch video has all the details and so does their site... 3 riding modes I believe. You can have the back up when going less than 1 mph to dismount, or turn that off via the app and due to heel lift like the other OW products.

  I ordered the Sand Pint/navy Fender in the first 48hrs. Never owned a OW before, so I’m really excited to be getting one here in the UK. Just hope UK customs doesn’t whack me a huge import charge!

  We did a little more strength and pressure testing over the weekend and ran over an ABS+ test unit with our 3,000 lb. SUV. https://youtu.be/tJXrIPvkgdA

  @tomfoolery and sent him a hat. All businesses protect their social media, especially when launching new products. @mr-vince I've been lurking on these forums for a while and have rarely even seen FM involved. They have some of their employees in the larger Facebook groups and there are ton more engaged riders there. Between FB and IG, I don't think they really have a need for the forum to exist any more... I just like the simplicity of it here and the fact that it takes 10 min a day to stay on top of the new posts... on a busy week. @mr-vince as far as FM not liking their customers... I don't think this is true personally (my opinion), but I think it's lack of understanding who their current clientele is. Could be an age thing, could be a Cali thing, not sure... but I don't think they want to cater to a small die hard population, and instead choose to expand their customer base. They were invited to FLF last year but couldn't make it. Jack at least mentioned the event during the NYC launch of the Pint. I think a lot of current OW riders are older than the marketing team thinks... the Pint may change that because it costs less than an iPhone X did when it was launched.

  @kd6tav I have a pretty good idea what happened: when you go uphill you are putting much strain on the motor, especially if you want to go uphill fast or accelerate going uphill. Motor cannot generate enough power and nose goes down on the ground. Ever cycled uphill ? Noticed the difference in effort vs. flat ? Don't sell the board, be more careful and enjoy

  @BradK - Hi Brad, I bought the parts you purchased because I thought this was awesome, but i have no idea who to connect everything. I also got the same battery back but the 9 volt batteries i got didnt even seem to fit. Could you share an installation video on how you put everything together? Thanks, Marc

  The Onewheel can be an "electrically motorized board" which is allowed up to 20mph on streetswith limits under 35mph, and on sidewalks so long as they are ridden in a manner safe for pedestrians up to 15mph. Cities are allowed to make their own, more restrictive rules if they want.

  @Nick-Sabs I’m the same size and ride the same exact conditions. Got about 370 miles out of my first Vega. But I was intentionally running at a super-low PSI (12-14 PSI) which adds a ton of wear. I found it easier and more comfortable to ride super-flat as I started out. I replaced with another Vega myself a few months ago, cheaper than sending it in, and I was back riding in a little over an hour. It’s pretty easy to do. The biggest pain in the ass is breaking the beads, but guys our size can certainly do with a little elbow grease (and putting our weight into it). I’m also running at the recommended 20 PSI to see if I get any more life out of my Vega.

  Try Practice staying still and balancing in one place. As you get better staying still balancing on the board then start practicing lifting your heel to disengage. As you slow to a stop,, then balance and then lift heel to disengage.

  @mr-vince Love it!!! Like the wide boards on top, smart upgrade. Looks like it weighs about 10x less than mine too. 😂
