RE: Battery just bit the dust? How can I check if the battery's dead?
@regulat0r Yeah, there's no difference. The board won't send battery charge.
I do get voltage, just like @chabis -
RE: Battery just bit the dust? How can I check if the battery's dead?
Ever since I started using the phone to connect to my board, it has always been unable to read battery %. Always 0% in any app.
Nothing else is behaving oddly, so I've just not cared about it too much. -
RE: 20 minutes to full charge?
Has someone tried to monitor the battery status while charging? Does 5-90 go faster per % than say 90-100, or 95-100?
I can't try it, because I can't get battery status from my board. -
RE: NoseDive - Actual concern or Overhyped?
@detroitwheelin I haven't read the comments so far, just adding my experience to it.
As a original kickstarter backer, I've ridden my OW for a long time. I've been using it for my daily commute for almost a year, and apart from that I've ridden all kinds of terrain.
I fell off the board once when riding very slow on very non-flat terrain, and had to catch myself with my hands. So that wasn't extremely smart, but it was only because I lost balance.
Apart from that, I've never hurt myself on the OW, and I ride pretty aggressive.
I have come off the board a few times, due to driving too fast, or going over too large obstacles. But nothing I couldn't outrun. Also when I ignored battery warning, the board died riding slightly downhill. My fault, but I didn't get hurt. AKA. I have nosedived a few times over these years, at low speed and at full speed. But I've always landed on my feet.Do I fear crashes? The last year, I've ridden with no safety equipment (I know it's really stupid), hands in my pocket, and full speed for many many miles and hours. No I don't worry about it. Ride with wrist guards and a helmet at least for a few months no matter what. Then you can decide how you want to ride, stupid or safe.
