@stinkyface thank you -- this is the info i think i needed to read. the posts i read must've been about batteries that were really out of balance, so unless i notice something significantly wrong, topping it off every night and letting it sit overnight is probably just fine. (follow-up question: does anyone know of a way to check the charge on each battery? to see if they are unbalanced somehow?)

@Vindigo75 so, i called OW yesterday, and the woman i spoke to didn't know when my accessories would be shipping, but she said she would find out and email me an update when she knew more. I haven't heard back yet.... maybe monday?

@Vindigo75 awesome! i was so happy when Fedex delivered mine, i told the guy that i'd been excitedly waiting ALL DAY for him. he said, "...really?" haha

@Vindigo75 if i call and get an update, i'll let you know.

@Vindigo75 have you had any word on when your accessories might ship? when i talked to a rep at OW on monday, he said they were hoping to ship this week, but i haven't received any word of mine shipping. i'm wondering if i need to call again to get a better estimate, because it's sure looking like they aren't going out this week.

@a1katie i like the SimpleStop so far. it's helping me learn how to stop, and as a noob, i need that help. i can see how it will probably be something i'll disable later on as i get better, though, and want to start practicing riding fakey.

@a1katie said in When will dealers get Pints:

At the end of March I was in Reno and had some time to kill so I stopped into Scheels to see if they had any Onewheel's I could demo. I ended up speaking to the sales rep for quite some time; he informed me they are considered the premier dealer because they sell the most of anyone in the country, because of Burning Man.

i live in Reno, and go to Burning Man every year -- in fact, that's where i first saw the OneWheel a couple years ago, and how i became obsessed with them, haha. I had no idea Sheel's was selling them, but it makes sense. i do see a LOT of OneWheels on the playa. i thought about bringing mine this year, but i don't want to stress out our camp's charging system. maybe next year.

In the manual that comes with the Pint, it has a tip that says, "Periodically leave the charger attached to your Pint overnight to allow the battery pack to thoroughly balance."

i recall reading something (here, or on reddit, or both?) about how the OW battery needs to be left on the charger for much longer than that, though -- 72 hours, or something -- but i couldn't find where i read that. it definitely sounds like a known issue, though. can anyone explain what the issue is, how long is optimal, and does anyone have any insight into how long "periodically" is? once a week? once a month? more? thank you...!

@LidPhones it's just the colorway, i think -- well, and the Social Club, which i'm not entirely clear on what that is or what you get for it. (anyone know?)

@LidPhones my first two rides were awesome -- i mean, i'm a bit shaky, but starting on grass was the key for me. i rode just over two miles on my first day in the grass, and felt confident enough afterwards to ride the 4 blocks or so home. the SimpleStop feature is toggle-able, and i like it for right now, but once i get better i can see i'm going to disable it so i can practice riding fakey.
