External Battery pack(s) add-ons made by OneWheel.
-
Need ONeWheel to produce external battery pack that can be either attached to a fender or carried in a backpack with a wire coming down to the OneWheel. People already doing those mods, but I feel those are UNSAFE , so ti would be good to have one produced by OneWheel itself.
We should have a battery pack that : doubles the distance or mega pack (backpack) that maybe triple or quadruples it ).
That would be really cool and can be used for long running hikes or travel.

@fun2ride what’s unsafe about this battery pack?
-
Would love that too - esp a version for the 4208 version of the XR which are not compatible with the currently available systems.
-
@tomfoolery he used all caps “UNSAFE” and we all know the truth MAKES LETTERS BIGGER. How could you even question it?
But seriously I ride with a charger attached often, I’ve done at least 500 miles with a charge and ride setup and it has not affected my safety in the slightest.

@readysetawesome that said, my battery rides in my backpack, connected with a break-away cable.
-
@readysetawesome , in his/her defense, if a person is not familiar with electronics work or is not a confident DIYer, working with high current electricity could be "unsafe" for the user or the OW. Properly short circuit a LiPo and you got yourself a fireball. We are not all of equal knowledge and capabilities when it comes to hacks and mods. So a FM manufactured external battery could be "safer" for the technically challenged.
-
@mr-vince The FM-manufactured battery absolutely is 1000% more durable than my replacement that I built, no illusions about that (But I don't do tricks or drops with my board so its not a concern for me.) I also agree nobody should just crack open a Li Ion or try to build one without sufficient knowledge. My objection was to the blanket statement in alarmist ALL CAPS that battery mods must all be unsafe, as a rule.

The other two systems are the www.two-x.com and then the X-2 & X-3. All of those are for V1 and OW+ I believe.
