i think the best thing the OW has going for it is that as technology improves it will benefit the most

i wish my OW had a slightly higher top speed, longer range, lower wieght and a lower pricetag

all of this will come to pass

powered longboards are already light, fast, and high range which makes them very desireable: but they don't ride like the OW

OW version 2.0 will obliterate the competition, and i for one will be happy to buy it.

i'm seeing a lot of posts about tire pressure and yes: lower pressure will of course damage the sidewalls and overall integrity of your tire at a much faster rate... but i think it's a given that you shouldn't ride on flat tire; not really something that should require a PSA

i just posted this because i've gotten more miles out of my first OW tire then i ever thought i would and had i been more careful about riding as evenly as possible i'm sure i could have gotten even more.

frankly it's just impossible for the wear to be perfectly even when riding in the same direction all the time

-maybe you are more aggressive on your toe or heel side
-maybe you make more right or left turns because of where you ride
-maybe you tend to get on to your board with your weight slightly off balance in one of two directions

i'm sure there are other possible reasons but regardless swicthing your riding direction evenly will account for all of them.

So time for a little PSA from someone who's had his for over a year.

Ride in both directions as equally as possible to avoid uneven tire wear.

when i first got my one wheel i thought to myself "i should get on the board and ride it both directions so i don't screw up my tire with uneven wear, i'm so smart." Then i totally ignored my own idea because i loved my new toy so much and well the piper has come to be paid. Just had to slime my tire because the unequal wear has caused one side of my tire to wear down MUCH faster than the other and has begun to slow leak air. Luckily the slime has fixed it so far but the problem is entirely because of uneven wear not because i hit something or ran over anything, just poor management.

So if you want a simple rule: it's like rotating your tires. Don't ride your onewheel in the same direction all the time. If you ride switch this probably won't happen to you but if you're like me and ride with the same foot forward 99% of the time you need to get on to your board in different directions regularly so you aren't riding with the same side forward all the time.

Don't do what I did, this problem is totally avoidable.

the grip tape is held on with glue dude... you know about glue and heat?

had the same problem in the hot denver summers, it's a sensor issue caused by the slipping tape

here's the solution, take the grip and it's tape all the way off, wipe any glue off the sensor, reattach the tape in the proper place

now here's the important part: STOP LEAVING IT IN THE HOT GARAGE, this is a $1500, sensitive piece of electronics, keep it indoors

when you go out park it in the shade, don't leave it out in the sweltering sunlight, this should fix the problem

@thegreck the Now Heel? that doesn't even make any sense... also where can i go to plop down 33% and wait 10 weeks for shipping, since i want one this badly

pretty sure you went past the top cruising speed, it'll go faster when you tilt foward but there is a limit man. i ride extreme with a low pressure on my tire but that doesn't mean i can just keep accelerating, you gotta know when you're at top cruising speed, you'll feel/hear it when you over the limit

had this problem and it was the footpad slipping, had to put in the screws as well, haven't had the problem since

oh it's def the top speed, he said "as his main mode of transportation". the 1W isn't great transportation for a few reasons, yes distance is one of them, 6ish miles isn't really enough to use as transportation very often. and yeah the weight is a big issue too, after all you only ride to places, once you're there you gotta pick it up and walk inside, and damn is it heavy. but the real kicker is the speed, i basically only use my 1W as transportation when going less than a mile or two, any further than that and other forms of transportation tend to be faster...that doesn't cover a very wide variety of trips. it's kind of a bummer really, but it's first gen tech, a little better range, a slightly higher topspeed, and a lighter build and this thing would be a SICK ASS form of transportation. the real problem of course is that without the range the topspeed isn't much use, and vice versa

can't believe it only works on android 5.0 and up, i waited so long, PLS FM MAKE IT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE

so that i could go snowboarding...

...now i'm just sad that i can't ride my onewheel everyday
