(easy sustained 20 mph, + another batch of miles to the range?) ...footpad led, simple stop option, pint style battery box protection on fender/delete, better connector housing, tire options, pint/XR pushback option, better water protection, don't hold your breath. From the sound of it, FM may have been consolidating it's EV-MFG infrastructure since the Pint. Possibly with the intentions of leasing their infrastructure to other manufacturers. If true, it's smart bc it permits a broader product base to hedge their risk. That lowers costs, which increases profits, which in turn permits greater diversification of their own product line. It would also have provided a long RnD cycle to develop the next iteration of the Onewheel. Considering how polished the Pint is, I would not be surprised if a new XR is actually quite far into development. Well past an initial prototype. 100v batteries are a thing now, and a 1000w hub motor probably wouldn't be all that out of the question. Just a matter of engineering.

@NotSure Battery is the biggest difference. XR has a 15s2p pack arrangement. So 15 cells series, 2 parallel (30 cells total). 63v max voltage and 6000mAh capacity Pint has a 15s1p pack arrangement. 15 cells series (15 cells total). Is again 63V max voltage but only 3000mAh capacity. Voltage in series cells adds up, current and capacity adds up in parallel. Because of this the Pint doesn't quite have the same power as the XR. Counter-intuitively to what is said above voltage determines the speed of motor so you'd expect both to perform the same right? Well current plays a part in torque, with half the current capacity of the XR the Pint doesn't have the horses behind it to drive the motor so I imagine FM limited the Pint much more to give the pack more headroom on power delivery. As some in the DIY community have stated the XR (and Pint) motor are capable of much more than FM allow it to achieve so I suspect the speed limits on both models are arbitrary and artificial. Not to say that's bad, FM must have done some testing to find the speed limits set are the safest thy're willing to push the boards given the battery.

@HanahsDax I can't get enough of that scenery. The fact your cam picks it up too with that stunning cloud pattern is amazing!

Thanks , I'm up going again, maybe a little slower, definitely less complacent, and USING more pads. Need to spend more time in water and the foil boarding thing and my unicycle anyway. This dang Onewheel is so excessible and fun. I hope I live long enough to see the next version. LOL

@Lia said in Watching Action on the Leaderboards: appears to be taken by Neonstain So cool. These photos have some powerful storytelling! I really enjoyed spending some time with them this morning. Thanks for posting the link!

Had another surge this week. They’re just diabolical! Tail down, then nose down, then a relatively light tumble. 🙁

Just to close this out. Ride home tonight after more balancing at the office today. These puppies are licking the same bowl! 😎🐶👌

Been working bit by bit on this. Was meant to have finished the rails this weekend but because of the heatwave I've been unable to get as much done. However I've done a bit so I'll share the progress :) Wanted to redo the controller housing to focus more on the thermals. I wasn't conviced that little 50x25mm heatsink was enough to dissipate the heat so I redesigned the housing to accept a larger 3mm thick metal plate. Used the big mitre saw wifey got me for my birthday last year to cut the metal to size. Forgot how terrifyingly loud it was. Need to print off the standoffs for the controller board to rest on over the heat sink plus make a raised section to aid in the thermal transfer. I think that should be enough material to at least act as a large enough heat sponge considering the XR had less thermal mass to work with. While doing that I've been working on the rear bumper. Used the existing front bumper as a guide to model the rear because they're fortunately very similar geometrically. Need to redo the one in the image because there is some extra material that's clashing with the battery housing. Fingers crossed the next one fits perfectly. Also got a proper router table to redo the rails and get them more accurately cut since the first set have some mistakes. The table itself doesn't fit my Bosch router but I made an adapter plate to get it to mount properly. Made a big mess with that, it did however lead to way more smoother cuts with a lot less chatter which is good since the first rails are really rough where I milled off the 0.3mm inside to get them to slide over the battery, hub and controller. Was extra careful to get these hub bolt holes spot on this time since the first set had a slight offset. Printed some templates to help get the holes just right. This is for the rear of the left rail. Had never actually cut the charger port hole on the first set, thankfully with the template I nailed it. Hopefully the heat goes away soon. Booked off this week and next to get this, the art and some more video's done but if the heat persists I'm unsure if I'll manage. We'll see.

Thank you guys for all your input! Really! This will help me out alot. Stay Floatin' Y'all!!!!

@lemur -- Nice work!

Most of my Onewheel travel is cruising up and down the 44 miles of the Western Reserve Greenway Trail.

Hi @HorsePlay -- Off topic, your response to words and language makes me think you might play Words with Friends. With my editor sister and with my grown younger daughter I play very open, friendly games. Some of our words lately have included OCTOPUSES, AQUATIC, SAFEHOUSE, and SNITCHERS. I am Blkwalnutgrwr there, too, if you have time and would enjoy a game ( ...or not is fine, too.) Anyone else here maybe up for a game?
