@blkwalnutgrwr So on lifetime it seems that steady activity does not matter just total miles reported from the controller when it links to the FM database. By the way you still one spot behind me on day streak for the plus? I am 11th as of today ....

@OneDan said in Major push back with batter reading at 90%.: @Alexmcc Almost $500 including shipping. Wow! Might as well go with the CBXR or similar aftermarket option at that price. It's a curious business model they got going huh?

@bgood420 it's not clear cut if the board deactivated due to both sensors not detecting or deactivated due to the BMS shutting off power. The sensor alarm may have occurred minutes before the nosedive.

@HanahsDax Agreed... I updated the title.

Monday mornings, never my fave but always better with the Onewheel.

Thought I would share this screenshot from a few days ago. Who knows when the next time the leaderboard will have 4 riders with the same amount of days with just the mileage separating the rankings.

Yes I've done this recently... How to milk crate: Write a support ticket to inform @Future-Motion about the issue. Take a sturdy box or milk crate and perch the board up evenly without the wheel touching the ground, then place something on it that's heavy enough to activate the sensor pads up front. Document the procedure with video and take screenshots of app on your phone to show FM customer service when they finally respond. Let the board use up all it's reserve power by running the wheel until it shuts off. Send a diagnostic report via the app after the board powers down (you may need to restart the board). Once finished, then you charge it for 24-72 hrs uninterrupted. The board appears to cycle charging operations. You may notice it on a long deep charge because your board will appear to turn on by itself while charging. This procedure is not intended to be done often or regularly as it will prematurely age the battery if you consistently run your battery down so completely.

While waiting on some materials to properly build up a table suitable to rout my rails (tried a jig, was messy) I'm working on making my own footpads. First bit to do was the connector itself. It seems Amphenol LTW make these but from some back and forth on reddit is seems you can't buy them :( Thankfully it's not too hard to just make my own Fit is nice and snug with it able to lock in place like the stock one. Got some thin brass tubing coming next week so I can make the contacts inside.

The ideal solution for @NotSure above would be that if the board were in "slow mode" (under 1 mph or whatever that limit is) along with simple stop turned on, then either pad would allow the board to continue operating. In this mode, higher speeds would not be affected, keeping the high speed nosedive protection intact. It could also be a sub option under simple stop so it could be set separately if desired. That said, this would require @Future-Motion to make a software change in the app and on the board, which I wouldn't hold my breath for as the only changes they seem to make are to the leader board features. I (and MANY others) have been asking for a configurable speed notification for YEARS, but such things don't get their attention (I've even suggested this on the phone with them, only to be told they would suggest it to the devs). It also assumes that @Future-Motion even looks at this board (which we all know they don't). I agree with most responders above that making a wiring change to affect this would be a dangerous mistake, but then that's just IMO, as I have no need for such a feature. :)

Thank you, Lia. For me, the sound only appears after I have been riding the board to the point where the battery has been depleted to 4% charge or less. And even then, it doesn't appear every time that I drain the battery that much.

Maybe an EGO blower!

@HorsePlay My guess is you have learned a bit from falling off a horse or two?🤪

@stinkyface Yep, it's insane for you guys overseas, and it's not much better for us up here. It would be literally cheaper and less hassle for me to ship my OW back to FM on an ocean barge, then to deal with the cost and paperwork headaches of dealing with USPS, UPS, or FedEx. But, that would be two months out of my life never coming back. The one thing I didn't do my homework on was maintaining the board, excitement got the better of me 3 years ago. Live and learn I suppose, but if things don't change, unfortunately I'll be looking for a PEV that I can maintain, as there're are a lot of tempting options on the market these days. Sadly, that day appears to be rapidly approaching, and if/when it arrives for me, it will be the last dollar and recommendation FM ever receives on my end. I put up with it from Apple as I can find refurbished parts fairly easily. I have an 8 year old MacBook Air that does everything I need year after year - but then again, I'm not running it into curbs at 20 mph either.
