  @sdonewheel also when the board is on, there is resistance in the motor. Try turning on the board and without engaging the sensors, roll it about a foot then turn it off and try it again. You’ll notice the resistance. I’m not sure but I believe in some (possibly most) nosedives there’s still that resistance there because the board doesn’t completely shut off. I have fangs too but haven’t had a nosedive due to speed. I have hit the nose going up a steep incline and rode the fangs the rest of the way up the incline until the board could level out.

  Got my Onewheel 2 weeks ago. I just decked it out. All the tape work was done by hand. Nothing came prefabbed. Opinions and comments are welcome. I named mine, “RîG*VICîOUS” (Now I gotta learn to ride the thing)

  @tomfoolery Appreciate the advice. But while I was never a skate boarder, I’ve owned a hover board and mono wheel and have some experience in the street with those and the condition changes you speak of. As a result I’m am not very concerned about elevation and road condition changes considering how adept the OW is to overcoming these variations. But thank you.

  @peterelsea just keep riding and your muscles will reduce that wobble as well as experimenting with foot positioning.

  Out of the three OWs I own only one has the correct mileage. One had to get the BMS replaced and the other had to have the controller replaced. After receiving them back from repair both had different mileages. They didn’t just reset to zero.

  @Tarototh Your guess is the same as mine, I believe that's what carveability controls - it determines how much the front/back tilt throttle should be damped or exaggerated when the board rotates onto some strange angles during carving. It is an absolutely amazing feet that they control the "feel" of it so well and it has such an obvious impact.

  @jaime et charli323, à voir vos commentaires, je ne suis pas surpris que vos avis soient complètement opposés, que ce soit pour la sensation de vitesse, la position des pieds,.....on a tous nos nos préférences et des ressentis differents. Pour exemple, moi je ne ride et suis hyper à l'aise qu' en mode Delirium sur tous types de terrain, d'autres ne font que du mode Mission qui ne me conviens pas du tout....

  @Rado yeah, I use my XR as my primary mode of transportation for the first and final legs of my commute. My Vega is starting to show excessive wear, so I bought myself 2 new ones so I could swap it out myself over a weekend instead of sending to FM for a week or more. If I ever need excessive service I’m gonna be in a jam. I’ve seen some services that will let you rent a onewheel. They will ship to you and everything. But I’ve never looked into cost. If it’s not too expensive, it may be a way to bridge the gap while yours is serviced.

  @sidjtd Honestly either both the FF and Burris tire are awesome. Can’t really go wrong, but a couple mile test ride may help you decide. Check Facebook for a local group near you

  This isn't a great answer, but heres my rule of thumb. When I go less than 12mph or very very local, I just ride normally (not recommended but these are my rules) However, if its definitely more than that, new roads, unfamiliar, or possible cars, I ALWAYS WEAR a helmet, at LEAST one side with knee pads, elbow and one or both wrist pads. Also this sounds really dumb but as non-athletic as I am, I did do martial arts lesson as a kid (ages go) and I'm trying to teach myself to roll INTO a fall rather than just fall and catch myself with my hands (rolling sucks but pretty much erases any chance of any major injuries if you're wearing anything thicker than a tshirt. I have wiped out twice when I was a noob first time was not knowing proper dismount, then falling after a (wobble), and recently when I got a used onewheel that has a flat tire (more wobble)
