PSI loss in tire over 1 week
-
Hi, my name is Jacob and I have been a proud Onewheel owner for over a year and a half and about two months ago, I started to notice my tire deflate pretty rapidly. I ride it every day to get to places in my neighborhood. I usually go to my gas station about once a month to renew the PSI level. I started to notice that the pressure was dropping every day and I started going to the gas station almost once a week. Please respond at your earliest convenience to whether I should send in my Onewheel for you guys to check it out, or whether this is something regular. Anyway, have a great Thanksgiving and keep up the fantastic work.
All the best,
Jacob

Do you see any fluid leaking from tire? That has happened on both my Onewheels before they went flat. I used some green slime tire stuff and it gave me about 5 more days of riding. It costs 100$ plus shipping for Onewheel to change it Or order tire and watch YouTube video on how to change it. There is a link on forum to YouTube video

If your tire shows white threads on corners,
you'll need tire change soon.If you're handy, it's easy DIY process.

It may be a tiny puncture and Slime works great.
Just used it on my bicycle tire. It was going flat in a week.
Now it's rock solid after a bit of Slime.

@Jpalkin And FYI, Future Motion rarely reads these threads anymore, this is a user forum. If you want to talk to the actual support team you'll need to email them at support@onewheel.com

@thegreck I realized that after I wrote it! lol

@sonny123 I don't see any white threads and wasn't able to find a puncture. Could it be an air leakage from the seal of the tire and the motor?
-
I don't think so, but try Slime.
No white threads mean good news.

the gauge at the gas station broke.

@Jpalkin It could be a leaking valve stem, the valve in the stem or a leak where the tire meets the the rim (the bead). You can check all three with soapy water. Make sure to check where the stem meets the rim put soapy water everywhere and look close. take the cap off the stem and put the soapy water there if it leaks past the valve you mike be able to tighten it with a valve tool.
