Mud Guard
-
It would be great if a mud guard can be developed for the boards.
-
Sounds like they have been working on this for a while with the initial issue being larger objects that would normally just be thrown out getting stuck in the wheel well. Makes sense because the space I between the board and the wheel is so small.
Maybe a cover less conventional angled out to each side from the middle to deflect objects out. Even then probably need quick release for the occasional random issue. Most likely any wheel well would work good for most pavement rides which is where most commuters wanting the protection are probably riding.

I'm really looking forward to one of those. If it's wet outside, shoes and pants will get quite dirty, and wet. Doesn't need much for that to happen. When riding in shorts, it doesn't even have to be wet. Having tiny gravel praying on your legs for the most of the journey is a strange sensation.
-
I want this much less now than I did when first receiving the board. If I am going to use one, I want it to be easily removable. I only see myself using it when it's wet out.

Drove thru Santa Cruz today and saw a guy getting his lunch on a Onewheel. He had a Mud Guard on his Onewheel. His helmet also had the Onewheel logo and he was heading into the Onewheel hq direction. So I guess they are working on one but are still out testing it.
It looked pretty cool, not like there would be a lot of space between the guard and the tire. I was too late (or he to fast) to take a picture of it. Sorry.

@OneDream I can neither confirm nor deny that

nice, beta testing mudguards!I like it! Hopefully its an attachment we can all install ourselves with a little drill. While you are at it, make it reach the grip tape so your grip tape won't slip either. 2 birds 1 stone, js. :)

Is this the same as a fender? I want one!

photos anyone? - what about just putting a loop of plastic over the wheel - from wood to wood - not sure about sizing but I have a4 plastic sheets for printer - would that work as temp measure?
-
@eish, check out any of their social media for photos.
-
@Franky I know - I just saw that now - it looks quite cool - I hope they include it with new purchases - I'm almost ready to buy :)

Ok, I rescind my statement - I WOULD use that all the time. Nicely done FM!

Shut up and take my money!

@baybyboomer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AGREED!!!!!!!!!!! I've refreshed too many times today sitting here waiting to order this thing. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
-
Any one know or any further info on when/where we can order this??
-
I'll say it again.... stop refreshing for the time being... "RUMOR" has it that they will be available in early September.

I've gotten water, mud and gravel thrown onto my shoes. But there's something about the naked wheel. Not sure I'd want a fender.
I've accidentally touched the wheel with my foot while riding and it was a non-event. It isn't the safety hazard I imagined.
