I have to try that, just hose off the mud on the inside when you're done!
Also cut two eye holes and the pot doubles as a helmet.

@blkwalnutgrwr now THAT'S a MacGyver solution if i ever saw one, haha. well done!

Add-on grip. Worn smooth under the ball of my foot, a piece on one half of the sensor solved the issue and worked fine. Smaller would be better. On the back I placed more to fit my stance. Great for comfort!
-
@blkwalnutgrwr I'm curious about the pick hammer? Gotta be some stories behind that addition.

@Lia -- No... I was not prospecting for precious minerals. On the paved rail-to-trail I usually ride were some high or ragged bumps lifted up by tree roots or root knobs. After nearly taking a spill rolling over one unexpectedly, I took it on myself to even a few places out. No more heart-jumping surprise shocks.

@blkwalnutgrwr Aha hadn't crossed my mind but kinda wish that was true now.
Good on you for maintaining your area, unheard heroes cleaning up public spaces.

This may not qualify as a cheap mod, at least one part is cheap.I updated my XR to a JW battery ((expensive part) but decided to copy Chibattery's voltmeter but added the voltmeter sensor wires to the JW battery pack since I was changing the battery.
The wires come out on the left side of the battery case through a small hole. knotted and silicone sealed.
The battery meter is a cheap Amazon one ($6.79 cdn) that is programable from 1-17 lithium cells and shows capacity and voltage that alternates every 2 seconds. I ride goofy so the meter is on the left side.
BTW the power wires from the bms to the controller should be on top of of the JWbattery pack as per JW instructions, trust me.

A wooden box fender with ratchet strap is cheap and provides a great platform for range extension solutions.

Onewheel bungeed to a bike rack.

@blkwalnutgrwr great option if it's filthy.
-
Once, riding without a fender, the tire reached up, grabbed my VnR cable, and jerked it right out of its Posi-taps. So, now when I ride without a fender -- like in winter snow -- I fashion a cable post out of heavy gauge wire. Cheap and effective!

Very nice! Reminds me of days ago on our Family farm. A spool of rusty fence wire fixed many a thing..... 🤪

I used the stock pot fender again, this time in slushy snow on the premise that it would be unlikely to clog up like a close-to-the-tire fender. What happened -- to my surprise -- was that the slush and snow built up on top of the tire, to nearly completely filling the stock pot. On the bright side, it took longer for the snow pack to start seriously restricting tire movement, and with the ratchet strap attachment it was easy to remove the pot to clear the snow build-up.

Not really a mod, more of a hack. Here is a paint stir stick, usually free at your local hardware store, I use to clear snowpack from around the wheel and off the foot pads.
