    • RE: ow+ whirring noise while balancing?

      I've got it too. I call it a very quit growling noise accompanied with a tiny bit of movement that you can feel if you engage the board with your hands. I didn't have this before or directly after the update. Noticed it directly after I was trying a dismount where you slap the nose down. Wasn't sure if that banging started the growl or not. But the noise isn't noticeable while riding and it doesn't seem like performance has been affected.

      My only concern is that something similar happened with my v1 a year or more ago and they had me send it back for repair.

    • RE: Facebook group idiocy.

      @itwire Jeremy, thanks for chiming in.

      I'm sorry for commenting that the admin needed to pull up his big boy panties and get a grip. In my defense I made this childish comment on a post that was questioning whether or not the video was deleted because of the t-shirt and I didn't know who the admin was so it wasn't personal. It seemed like the consensus was that it was deleted because of the tshirt which is what I was responding to. And that consensus seemed backed up by the fact that nobody including the admin said anything to the contrary. Now it sounds like you were very busy which I understand and I know there was some petty bickering going on in the new post about the tshirt. But if you look at my message, you will see a simple question that didn't need immediate answer even though the simple answer of "no, it was deleted because of the comments" would of sufficed.

      Either way, it sounds like you were having a rough day, and enough said on this topic. Good day sir. I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!

    • RE: Facebook group idiocy.

      @No checkout my Facebook post if you want full context on this as in comments you can see the helpful video of a guy just happening to wear a trump tee and a screenshot of the message that got me booted.

      I've seen other political tees posted in the group such as Bernie and probably Hillary but I've never heard of one being deleted which is a good thing because the people were not trying to make a political statement in the group. This isn't about politics for me but rather treatment of group members.

      Then there is the message I sent to Jeremy which I thought was was a more respectful way to get some clarification from him rather than publicly through the group. I didn't even know he was the admin deleting stuff until his post saying all political stuff would be deleted. Once I saw that, I messaged him personally. All I asked him was if he deleted a post because of a trump tee. He responded with a threat to kick me out which is obviously a really dick like way to respond. Then he booted me. Again screenshot of this in the FB post comments.

      Of course Jeremy can delete all the posts and boot all the people he wants but that doesn't mean it doesn't make him a dick and I'm just posting it for full transparency. Many times group admins can sweep their dick actions under the carpet because blocked people do not have any other outlets to speak to the people in the group. In this case I still have a voice so I'm just sharing what happened.

      Deleting posts is one thing but kicking people out for asking a question is another. I'm not saying people should leave the group but it's probably a good idea not to have one group with one overloard on a topic so I'm glad the other group exists. I would encourage riders to join and engage in both groups besides other local groups which I also do.

      Clearly I'm not going back in Onewheel owners and that is fine with me. I've got a lot of interests and am apart of more groups than I could ever keep up on which is why i had to turn off notifications for most of them including Onewheel owners before I was booted.

      Cheers!

    • RE: Facebook group idiocy.

      Cheers @fabuz! Yes I guess that makes us old timers Lol. No worries there are a lot of people in the other group and I'm guessing people will start to post more. Just got my v1 back and better than ever and I love my plus. Had an awesome ride tonight.

    • Facebook group idiocy.

      Today the moderator (Jeremy Gavin) of the Onewheel owners FB group kicked me out for questioning his decision to delete a post of a onewheel rider who happened to be wearing a Trump t-shirt.

      I agree that it's pointless and annoying to be arguing politics in general and especially in a onewheel group but it's idiocy to sensor a post because of the t-shirt being worn. If comments start getting out of control then just ignore or turn off comments.

      Either way, I can still be found in the original FB group here without all the drama and with a much better cover photo.

    • RE: Why not 2 weeks ago?

      With v1 we used to joke that waiting through the constant shipment delays was just a right of passage into the Onewheel owners club. We all went through it and couldn't stand the wait...but then our boards arrived and all was amazing. Looks like the same for the plus except I'm hoping and guessing their production skills have improved and they will get our boards faster.

    • RE: Official delay - end of month, early April new expected pioneer delivery

      @aris knowing manufacturing myself I know delays from vendors are a big thing. But if what you are saying is true then this recent transparency is a lie too. Hoping for the best I'll assume not. I think it would have been just as easy for them to say that they are waiting on parts than to lie and make up a story.

      • motors are new and if this is their first production shipment then the risk of issues is greater. It's too bad that they couldn't have production nailed down with stock built on hand before announcing. Then shipments would have been immediate and these issues out of sight. They are a small company doing some amazing things so maybe this is the best way of launching short of delaying a full year which would also have its negatives. It's easy to qb from our couches. They are trying to thread the needle of shipping a uniquely amazing product in a world of overly popular electric skateboards that are much more easily produced and upgraded. For that I do try to give them the benefit of a doubt...when warranted, and some breathing room when possible.

      I'll wait. Get it right before shipping my board. Who knows maybe the performance wasn't quite up to par rather than quality.

      If anything, I'm glad my board wasn't in that first batch. I'd rather wait longer now than have to send it back in the middle of summer or have it break right after the warranty is up.
