lol my onewheel insurance is killing me!

check edit history for more...

don't forget the licensing fees to be allowed to own it

touch screen? really? you just took a tank and made it fragile; suspension maybe, bigger battery sure, We're going to end up with a $3000 board that weighs #40 that is still has to comply with by 20mph speed limits on paths to avoid regulation.

modifiable hardware versions will fetch a higher price too, even with a 1000mi

@NotSure that oughta stick to your ribs

@OneDan said in Tire Irony:

@Sirgu Original! Yep, 6200 miles and counting. Did replace the batteries at 1900 via @Future-Motion, but this second set has gone over 4k. Original bearings as well, still smooth and quiet, although thinking of swapping them since I live less than a mile from The Float Shop and I've been losing a bit of range lately, so thinking it might help.

I think the key to my board's longevity is that it's almost all smooth path riding. Absolutely no drops or bumps whatsoever. Just smooth floating like Marty McFly! LOL

thanks for this report onedan! I too am amazed at the pristine condition of your front pad. After seeing pic of Dax's high miles board it's night & day.
I carve all the time too so all the wear is on the outer edges of the tread. My og vega at 950 had pretty thin rubber at the edge when a piece of glass gave the lethal blow, I put a new witz motor w/burris t33 on and loved it. 1600mi later the t33 is holding up way better than the vega did. Same deal, only the outer tread is wearing down but I'll take longevity over lack of tread noise every time.
I'm getting geared up for a 3000mi makeover; I have a New stock battery (range down 20% on the 2600mi often speed charged og batt) and foam grips ready to swap and was considering a whisper or trailpro but don't want to pay extra for a tire I'll wear out in a thousand miles. Really like that low profile fender too, (is it c&r) but I use a rear flightfin and don't like what the inevitable scratches look like in carbon fibre.
Nice being close to an actual shop.

I have both; got the xr 1st so I'm used to the subtle pushback of the xr, got the pint a couple months later but only ride it when the xr is charging,
captain morgan pushback on the pint hits at 14.5mph, pretty obvious unmistakable and ends up pissing me off.
pushback on the xr hits at 16.5, and is easily missed on bumpy surfaces, but it's mild and can be ridden on/past without changing your stance or interfering with technique.
pint- 360 mi
xr- 2600mi
ride skyline/ delerium or custom

@blkwalnutgrwr It's probably a good thing I don't live there. I can't help but want to interact with fluffy animals D:
On one hand I'd get to stroke the fluffy bear, on the other... well that hand is now missing.

in Montana we call pepper spay "tourist seasoning"

wow, sooo much fun in there, love the 'wheel murder scene, the coolerwheel, the statue of the captain is so fitting!! pacman made me lol! homage to QE2 and all our 3rd party friends on the wall graffiti was a great Idea.
at 1st I thought Kyle was was throwing eggs at us!
thank you for these efforts Lia, you are an amazing talent and it seems like the endeavor was good therapy.
edit; I keep finding fun stuff so awesome, we need 6foot5guy on his pint at the water front

no matter how well it works, you're adding a lot of weight, complexity (more parts to break), and expense, I don't want a $3000 45# board

all of these %s are algorithms balancing averages right? I'm thinking cruz and mellow riding is going to give different parameters than delirium at pushback.
