  I have been riding Solowheels by Inventist as well as Inventists Hovertrax since last December. Hovertrax is truly only for indoor applications, which we use them for, due to their solid tires. Solowheel, the original, not the knockoffs, is as intuitive and easy to ride as Onewheel. It has an extremely far range, at least twice that as Onewheel and a bit easier to carry due to its shape and size. They maneuver just as easily and operate under very similar technology. With that said, after adding a couple of Onewheels to our stable this month, we can't stay off them. Skateboarding as a kid makes the Onewheel top of the charts for me. I received my Solowheel Xtreme, the 2nd gen the same week as my first Onewheel. Talk about having difficulty wiping the smile off my face. I do not use them for anything other than fun and do not rely on them for daily transport. I am however on them nearly every day just for fun and it's great family time as we all ride together. If you can afford an extra toy, in additional to a Onewheel, a Solowheel Xtreme is pretty darn nifty. Do not be fooled by cheap knockoffs. You definitely get what you pay for with Inventist much like Future Motion. Both superb quality. https://youtu.be/3giJ_oejwCY

  Regular, but with Onewheel, its smart to practice both, as there are many instances where you need to quickly reverse.

  keep us posted! maybe attaching a cord from the mount to the opposite side of the board would help with position maintenance . . .

  @hoverboard Awesome! I'll have to try that!! Using tape now to cover rails... I think colored tape could be cool too... Add some fun to the board... but Sharpee is a great suggestion... Thanks!

  don't the lights already dim off and on when you change direction? should be very easy to add a manual dim to the app.

  I've powered up after getting the low battery pushback and was able to ride only a short bit before it did the pushback again. Did this a couple times but I'm sure it's not good for the battery so I don't do it anymore. Never just shut down on me though.

  Haven't tried the kite, but I have plenty of hours on a wakeboard. Reading your question I realised that most of the time when people ask me about how riding the OW feels like I refer to snowboarding or wakeboarding on a glassy lake, you know, when you just hear the "sssssss" sound as you go. That's the feeling I get from doing large turns in highspeed with OW. btw. I'm also waiting for my board, put in the order yesterday, so with that 8 week backlog they have, it's going to be a looooong couple of months.. fortunately a friend got his board a month back so whenever we hang out I can feed my addiction with a full battery of riding. I just wanna say I think the onewheel is a classic! Oh yea.. we're in Helsinki Finland so anyone else up in here with a board, it'd be cool to share some spots and practice some tricks together. ak

  You mean the much awaited cover for the wheel? I'd really want one. A lot of gravel on the footpads all the time. And drive through a puddle and wet and or dirty pants or legs and shoes are a fact.

  Hey Jase, it's all about a balance of maneuverability and stability. We wanted a tire that was flat enough to allow riders to balance while idle (makes learning much easier and really important while waiting at stop lights, ect.) while still having enough profile for carving. The Vega tires were the best we tested!

  Also zuerst einmal habe ich mir die Boards während einer Dienstreise nach USA ins Hotel liefern lassen, um Zeit und Geld zu sparen. Habe es dann selbst bei der Einreise in DE normal verzollt. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität und habe extrem viel Spaß damit. Vor allem im Gelände. Der Vergleich mit dem Snowboard ist meiner Meinung nach nicht passend. Man ist sehr viel schneller auf dem SB. Und man kann mit dem OW nicht driften. Am ehesten noch in tiefem Sand. Das ist auch cool, geht aber nur Berg ab, weil das Rad sonst durchdreht. Insgesamt ist das Board eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!
