The whine of my V1 motor is simply the best riding music for me.

@HanahsDax the Badger Soccasin is for ice and snow. For close to 50 miles I have ridden it -- the traction is phenomenal. So far I have only ridden it on snow covered (and some a little icy) paved Rails-to-Trails with a few wind-swept patches here and there. Range through snow is one-third to one-half. Wear? After taking a spill today -- the Onewheel trying to climb over an unnoticed fist-sized chunk of ice on the trail while I was trying to get some video -- I notice one small separation in the fabric (the fall was actually fun, like falling off a sled going down a hill and sliding in the snow). The rest of the Soccasin fabric still looks like new. For convenience I have the Soccasin on a spare motor and change it with conditions. A tippiness of Vega on snow with a Soccasin feels a little like the tippiness of a Hoosier 5.5 on pavement -- to me, I love it.

Last winter when my range dropped with the cold temperatures I felt desperate. Range extension was my favorite research topic. Now I alternate between two range extension systems for my V1. This morning Soccasin Onewheeling on a snowy trail in 14 degree Fahrenheit weather I rode nine miles with battery to spare.

“Onewheel Sally” - parody on “Mustang Sally” by Bonnie Rice recorded by Wilson Pickett and later by the Commitments

Onewheel Sally, think you better slow your Onewheel down
Onewheel Sally, think you better slow your Onewheel down
You been running all over the town now
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your pretty feet on the ground
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes

I bought you a brand new Onewheel serial number ...001965
Now you come around a fine-balanced woman, Oh! you don't want to let me ride
Onewheel Sally, think you better slow your Onewheel down
You been running all over the town now
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your strong-ankled feet on the ground
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride

@SixFootFiveGuy, one of the Onewheelers I have met referring to my mileage said, "You retired guys..."

@McFloaty, this week I was getting a little rowdy singing "Onewheel Sally" and had my first cut-out in 5700 miles on my V1. Somehow I saved it, but the nose came oh-so-close to pavement.

Franko, with the Badger waterproof kit installed on my V1 I have had no problems. Rain, shine, or snow I have been riding everyday for months averaging almost 20 miles per day. One of my favorite times to ride is right after a rain -- everything is fresh, with puddles to carve around, or (rarely) to splash through.

a_onekatie in heavy snow in Northeast Ohio in mid-November I put my Badger Soccasin on my V1 and plowed through six inches of virgin snow on the local rails-to-trails for six miles total. It was great fun!

If you think about it, each foot on a Onewheel has different criteria of importance. If all I am doing is Onewheeling sometimes I wear a skate shoe on my sensor foot with a different, comfortable shoe behind.

The hands-free aspect of a Ripstik is nice, and there is a certain amount of fun factor. You are right, though, a stout caster board unit with Onewheel torque and bigger, pneumatic tires capable of off-road would make it more useable and enjoyable. A balance drive control instead of a remote would give it more of the Onewheel feel. As it is on my Onewheel I have 2700 miles -- on my electric Ripstik I have maybe ten.
