Onewheel backpack
-
Well talk about prompt customer service (sales side), great work @Future-Motion, I ordered the backpack today and also got my shipping notice today. @Future-Motion please send your new salesperson @ShreddieMcskate the well deserved incentive on this....
Looking forward to using the backpack on my work trip to Germany in November.

I was really hoping for some kind of padding on the spine of the bag, at least a layer of high density foam, it's not a backpack, it's a $125 tarp bag with shoulder straps
-
@b0ardski
Yeah my plan is to hopefully add some rail padding to enhance comfort once mine shows up. I will report back on what I come up with.
-
@b0ardski I don’t even want a “bag” TBH. I need to design some sort of sling or harness I think...

I dunno, it's pretty small, can't you just attach it to your key ring? :D

In the facebook onewheel owners group, someone has a picture of them using one of these:
Slip a loop over each end of the OW and then sling in on a shoulder like a purse or bag.

@UTrider This would be useful enough for short-carry distances, but for longer carries you're gonna get tired of that thing banging into your hip; not to mention getting road-schmutz all over your clothes, abrading them with the griptape, etc.

FM is up to bat, SWING AND A MISS!!
I'll give'em an A for materials chioce and a D- for execution.
The fact that the shoulder straps attach at the zippered (opening) side means the only padding between the metal rail and my spine is a heavy duty zipper;FAIL
The fact that the pint is strapped to the opposite side (where there should be padding for my spine) of where the shoulder straps attach means the board flops around no matter how tight the shoulder straps are; FAIL
the XR doesn't flop around as bad because it fills more of the volume of the bag, not really made to fit the pint, need 2 sizes I need a pint backpack not an XR duffle bag.
The top end loop should be big and beefy enough to lift the "backpack" off my shoulders and carry vertically like every other actual backpack on the planet; FAIL
It's kind of like the pint bluetooth, yea, it's there but I don't bother using it.

It looks like it's out of stock currently, but you may be able to find a similar pack to what I have: it's just an LL Bean "Hunter's Carryall" pack. Yes, it's not specifically designed for a OW, obviously, but it's easily reconfigurable to secure and carry all kinds of non-standard-sized/shaped objects (so it's multi-use, not JUST for a OW) and it's a lot cheaper. IIRC it was 70 or 80 bucks.
-
I thought about a cargo pack But I want an internal frame and comfy to my back.
I'll have to take the pint to a sport shop and find what fits.
-
@b0ardski It has an external frame but is about as comfy as you can expect (I'm hauling an XR, so a few pounds heavier). Like I said, this specific model looks to be out of stock (but maybe you could find one through another retailer/source), but something like this:

@b0ardski I’ve only used the bag with the pint and it fits great...it also has 2 straps inside that you can clip and secure the board better...I’ll do a short video when I can showing me put both the pint and xr..also the fit and me running around with the pack🤘🏽🤘🏽

@ShreddieMcskate
I look forward to whatever you can share on best practices. Mine will arrive Tuesday. Thanks.
-
@UTrider Awesome! lol That's just a Yoga Matt strap they used, but that is totally in line with what I am imagining.

Personally, this is all I would need, and I don't like that the full fledged BP is going to take some time to actually get in and out of. And likely add weight.
My design however, would angle the Pint onto it's side, so I could utilize my Fender for road dirt protection. And maybe have a "thong" to cover the other, exposed wheel side.

@a_onekatie
Yea reading your posts, I figured you just needed something from where you have to get off to walk to the train/subway/something or into work.
-
@ShreddieMcskate I have the one from @craftandride and absolutely LOVE it.
I don't normally knock FM like others do.. But this bag is better for me.. And $50 cheaper... And has a couple pockets for Allan wrenches and what not.
-
I was looking the that one .It was $150 so I went with the @Future-Motion bag for $125....I am liking the craft and ride pint bag....really do wish fm put some padding on the spine though
