I am hoping suspension would not be on the new OW.

• Using offroad OW is too low for it to function as drawn in diagrams. But , maybe if it was raised significantly. I would rather have bigger tire with more power. Would be nice for street cruising though.

• I wonder how the added weight of suspension will be dealt with. My thing is riding on sand so staying lean is key for me.

• There are other things I'd rather wish for. But oh well , I have no influence here and the direction of OW innovation is with forward progress .

@Devon
Very welcome.
Was hoping FM would of been the voice to help.

Forums are usually filled with answers and info, but often too unorganized and scattered.

Search features sometimes spit out vague responses.

It means trouble
However you see it. Had the same issue.
Had to send it in.
Common Error Codes

I'm getting Error 6 or 16. What's up?
You're trying too hard bro. Your Onewheel's motor stalled for too long and the unit shut down to protect itself. This can happen easily at low speeds trying to go up steep inclines, bumps or cracks. Cycle your power (turn the board off and then back on) and you should be good to go.

What's error 16?
We know, it's not even on the sheet. Error 16 means your battery isn't talking to your controller properly. If you're getting an error 16 shoot us an email at support@rideonewheel.com and we'll get you taken care of.

@makermarc
it would be so truly cool to have the OW to be waterproofed. There are some places where my family tear up the beaches, but knowing the OW is vulnerable to moisture we are confined. The wheel bearings itself needs attenttion when it comes to salt water .

It is asking alot to have a waterproof vehicle. What a great deal it is to waterproof any mechanical device. Corrosion is a constant that we need to accept.

FM must be overwhelmed with flooded boards.

LOL!

@mustugio11
Good find. thanks
Okay the BMS has been dealt with, but what about the power controller?

i have found that the ports (drilled holes not plugs)and the led lense arent sealed to be waterproof on pre-XR models

Maybe they did more to the XR to deal with water.
Gotta wait till my warranty expire before I experiment on my XR.

@AuburnTiger
High amp circuits need to breathe/dissipate heat.

Dunno much specs on the OW boards but guys building e-foils are having difficulty dealing with waterproofing and heat on their ESCs

e-foil builders

@Glyph said in Any local laws against Onewheel?:

One thing that stinks, is that FM refers to the OW on their website as "the best motorized skateboard" (when IMO it's not really a skateboard, since it doesn't have skate trucks/wheels). So trying to pull the "it's not a skateboard!" defense if you get busted in a no-skateboard area might pose a problem, since the company itself says it is. I wish FM would update that wording.

Another is, I think "motor vehicle" is a legal term of art, so like that dude in FL says, in that state that's defined as "two or more wheels, can go > 20 MPH".

But a lot of places forbid "motorized vehicles" - it's hard to argue that a OneWheel is not a vehicle, which is motorized.

Respect is an unspoken act that can save me time and money. Nice people get accpted doing something illegal and on the flipside annoying people get scrutinized for existing.

I wouldnt like to waste my time in court rooms trying to prove things. Id rather be somewhere wheeling around than twiddling me thumbs and trying to convince people of my rights.

i dare you to share some info here!
;]

Here where i live most places ban motorized vehicles (except wheel chairs).
Everywhere i look malls, hotels, state parks and trails all restrict motorized vehicles. Heres the thing it is forbidden to ride there but it dont stop everyone. Cliche " if theyre doing it why can't we?"

Enforcement is where youll be found with doubt. It is expensive to police the entire state. When you get caught use this cliche " i didn't know!".

Most cops (private or public) are lazy and probably let you go. If you see them keep em in the corner of your eye and go the other way.

I see the onewheel as an ATV and like a skateboard i respect the personal judgement against it on public ways. OW is a dangerous toy under the wrong feet.
