@Kielanders said in First Major Wipeout on Pavement: Oh, shit, I thought those were NAILS - that you went all MadMax! i thought they were spikes/nails, too, but my first thought was Rollerball, so that just tells you my age, i guess, lol -- Mad Max came later!

I would not buy one as there customer service sucks (takes waaay to long) and you wont wanna ride it after error 16 happens.....

@LidPhones This is excellent info, thank you! I am most definitely going to be aware of my speed when the battery starts getting low. Once I got back on the board after nose-diving, I inched my way home. I was scared! One time is enough >.<

I doubt I'll be doing 59 mi on my birthday, but I've thought about boosting my 4209 XR with the ranger, as I have lots of ego batts, but would need to convert it like the carvepower

@SlyFoxxx Thanks for your suggestions. I hear you on the trust thing, machines fail sometimes. I've only had 1 painful fall... on my OW+ a couple years ago. My fault, not the board, but any caution I learned has long since worn off... For some reason, I trust my OW+XR and just ride like it's unfailable. Maybe it's the increase in torque over the older boards. Since it seems unlikely that I'll be more careful, I picked up a pair of fangs front wheels to help in the case I push the board too far :-) Looking forward to trying them out. Got a pair for my loaner board (OW+) too, so my friends are less likely to hurt themselves (which did happen once). I definitely recommend a FF Hoosier Whisper 6" tire if you can afford it. I installed it myself. Breaking the bead by hand took some serious effort (going to a tire shop would've been a better idea), but everything else was easy enough. Just follow the instructions on YouTube. I opted not to replace the bearings... more work than I wanted to undertake. The new tires is soft enough that I just used a bike pump to seat the bead.

@speedracer -- True, that is how it seems. One pause between blinks will be ever-so-slightly longer. So, if you really want to know, you count the blinks between the slightly longer pauses between blinks. And then you could tell us what you find. Best of luck!

@Morfex Look on the DIY Onewheel Facebook group and use the search.

@zapp thank you for the input! I do not get any message saying "invalid hardware detected" though. I was just riding along after about 2 miles going about 14 mph and my pints motor just stopped working and I got thrown to the pavement. My back hurts like no other today. Anyhow, when I got my bearings back and went to step on the board to ride it that's when I noticed the error by the light on top of the pint. It was blinking. I counted the blinks and it was 16. Then I turned the power off and back on and the app said "error 16 if problem occurs again please contact customer support." I have looked up this problem and it has been happening since the beginning of onewheels. Which is pathetic.

@squirrelguy wow, you sound exactly where i am at in all ways, except that i just turned 53 (oh, and i snowboard, and skateboarded waaaay back in the day). i am currently vowing to learn fakey for the same reason, and i've been pretty comfortable at going off curbs, but i haven't mustered the nerve to try going up them yet. anyway, welcome! i'm not sure what to say about your toeside turn question -- that doesn't happen to me. sorry. my guess is that maybe flight fins would be a help, though.

@PiNKHOTSAUCE if you find a good source, let us know. Would love to have a spare.

Looks from the deep scratches that they took one hard dive and were like "to hell with this thing" haha That's the most dangerous part of OneWheeling; the first 50-100 miles; before you really understand push-back and how to respect it. For the price it's at already; id rather just buy a new one.

@tiddybawls battery icon is always full. The battery level is a big blue bar which comes across the screen except when it thinks the battery level is zero. When on the charger, is the blinking steady or is it a series of flashes? If flashes, the number of flashes is your error code. With the info we have, its sounding like either the BMS or some cells are dead. Hey is this an older board? Say 2 yrs old or more? I can see it has stuff all miles but the serial number is close to mine.

@BIGMil1968 Good to see the gear helped and yes RESPECT the pushback and motor surges..... Happy TerraSurfing!

@3tch3r I change my tires to a treaded version right after I buy. I figure if I need warranty work, I'll just put the original tire back on.
