CHALLENGE = Match or Exceed Your Birthday Years In Distance (Miles/ Kilometers) On Your Birthday (or close to your birthday)!

@b0ardski -- I ride a Plus and a couple V1's; I have NOT vampired an XR. Partly it depends on the hardware: 4208 should work and 4209 may work, but 4210 and 4211 are incompatible.
Using EGO batteries in parallel you need to match voltages before connecting -- that is ride the XR until it is at the EGO 58 volts, then connect.
Or, with EGO batteries as a source for a booster, dial the booster to 60 volts or so and you can connect right at the start of your ride (after you turn on the XR, of course).
Sonnywheels has a video of the vampire procedure. Open your connector cover and tap in to your battery feed cables with posi-tap connectors.

@blkwalnutgrwr I have a 4209 vamped with Sonny's kit. I run the battery from my eBike (14 amp hours) in my backpack through a solar controller to step up the voltage. I get an extra 40ish miles on top the stock range.

Thanks Moto, that's good to know, glad I bought my xr when I did. I may start with the carvepower for charging on a break and avoid tapping the wires, less extra stuff on the board the better.

Coincidence of measures: Year 2020; Onewheel Plus miles 2020.
Looks like I will be reaching the Big 2020 in 2020 possibly this weekend. Getting in a 100 mile day ride really helped too.

Challenge done! 48 today, 48km (sorry i don't do miles 🤣). Great idea this, wifey thanks I've lost it.
2 x charges on stock XR battery. Limped home on first charge after 27km. Waltzed home in style for the second.

@stinkyface
Awesome job man... My max miles in 24 hours is 101 miles (162 KM) and my legs were shot....

Got it... Took a bit longer than planned..

Mileage matching OW serial number.

Mileage matching OW serial number.
Very nice!
-
@blkwalnutgrwr Epic achievement! Saw how close you were yesterday. I have a better chance to match my serial number to my mileage on my V1 than my XR.
-
Not in a day, this week though.
Notable Onewheel achievements in my own eyes:
-Matching mileage to serial number as posted above;
-A 5000 mile daystreak in 280 days last year on my V1, averaging over 16 miles per day including through the several months of Northeast Ohio snowbelt winter.
-And in a comment about how easy it is to learn to ride a Onewheel to a new prospective rider by another local rider, pointing to me "...see, ANYBODY can do it..."

@blkwalnutgrwr
So you are between 65 & 68? If I understood your post correctly..... Awesome on either and I hope to be like you...
-
@LidPhones -- True. Envy the hours and miles I have with my Onewheels at age 68!
