I considered pre-ordering the Pint and trying to get on the daily streak from the beginning, but I couldn't wait and got an XR instead. Now after hearing about months of delays and technical issues, I'm glad I'm just cruising. I would have been in your shoes, and just as disappointed.
It's a brutal reminder that technology fails, especially new technology. I'll consider getting a Pint when I need to send in the XR for maintenance, hopefully they will have fixed some more glitches by then.

RE: Is there a secret I haven't discovered yet
Make sure you are rotating your shoulders and head, look where you want to go. Lead with your front arm, keep some weight on your front foot, and commit to the turn. If you turn your head and shoulders, the rest of your body will follow.

RE: LMAO Everyone seen Nasa’s Black Hole visualization?
@Kielanders Once AI links with Google and Amazon, your OneWheel will just be part of the synchronicity used by the aliens to control your movements. Soon, we will just become tools for our phones and AI will rule over all. Thanks Elon Musk....

RE: Why not turn the Onewheel off?
My XR drains .001 Ah every minute it is on standby. Rolling a few feet drains .1 Ah. 100 minutes of standby drains the same amount of energy as riding a few feet down the road.
Turn it off so you don't engage the pads by accident, but it's not saving that much electricity just sitting there.
That said, it could take more electricity if it was being moved around (sensors firing)- but again I doubt it would draw anything compared to the motor. -
RE: OW Pint Nosedive Going Up Wheelchair Curb Ramp
@lukereiser Try to ride up just by coasting, don't push into it for acceleration. It's likely you can avoid the nosedive if you carry speed into the incline but stop accelerating before it starts. Let us know!

RE: Why not turn the Onewheel off?
@HanahsDax That sounds reasonable, 1% battery for 15 min of standby. I'm going to track the actual amp hours used (it's in the board settings) for 10 min and see what it looks like.
