@OnewheelFlorida very cool. let me know when you get some shirts done. if you are beach side on a weekend some time hit me up and maybe we can do some OW representing.

Nice! Where do you ride? I live in Indialantic. We should get together some time.

Also i have a friend that can make t-shirts. Would love to get some made with this logo!

I live in Indialantic Florida. Close to Melbourne/Cocoa Beach/Kennedy area. Willing to let someone test drive one of my boards. (beer payment necessary :eyes:

Very nice! What a great idea.

Hope you get well soon. I have had a few close calls with cars pulling out in front of me. They just do not seem to see you sometimes. Same issue when biking, even when i wear hi viz gear.

Everyone definitely wear a helmet. The spill i took this weekend.. going 11-12mph and nose diving, the back of my head hit the concrete... but with a helmet, not even a scratch on my head. (my left ankle,calf,knee,hip,shoulder are a different story. and my right tricep, which slammed down on the concrete it pretty bruised as well).

edit: back of right bicep = right tricep. need coffee

I had a pretty bad spill this weekend. Nosedive out of nowhere. I ride often and have a good amount of experience on the board. I am very mindful of my feet and the sensors. Early on when i read about this happening to others, i thought it was related to lack of experience. This is definitely a real issue. For me, flat (very hard) surface, 50%+ on the battery, extreme mode. Luckily i was wearing a helmet and wrist guards.. so only have some bad bruises and raspberries on the left ankle, calf, knee, hip and shoulder.

I do not want to believe it was a malfunction.. because if that is the case, makes me a bit nervous to ride again. But i love it so much. So i ordered some more safety gear.. will wear impact shorts, knee and elbow padding.

Will report back if it happens again. Lets hope not. but i think we have enough reports of this occurring with riders who have had some decent time in the saddle for FM to look into it.

Just to reinforce what others have mentioned in this post, the OW has no issues handling downhill runs. I ride the causeways in FL very often. I live on a barrier island and love hitting the causeway running/walk trails. Great scenery etc.

I plan on posting some videos of this soon. :tm:

@jaychill i am usually listening to music via my LG bluetooth head set when riding, have not had any issues at all. Can you reproduce this consistently? Also when you say that you could not control the board at all, can you explain? How did the board operation differ?

@KeithVlk That is strange. Ya before contacting FM, maybe do a few drains/full charges. And let it charge over night once.

@njcustom ouch man. but at least you caught it early. Lyme disease can be really bad if you do not know you have it and it progresses unabated. Glad you are okay.
