My only two nosedives were accelerating uphill. This is a known challenge for the board. I would advise taking it easy going uphill.

@troyhenry aggressive acceleration uphill is a known challenge for the board. My only two nosedives were accelerating uphill.

I did not have the plus, the XR is my first board. I have not had any problems cruising on flat ground, although I seldom go above 16 or so unless i KNOW the terrain and know it is smooth.

I have hit bumps and depressions, and you can feel the engine working very hard, and I think those situations you come close to going over the nose, and likely would if you were going fast.

@beazkneaz_net where is Lone Rollers? Is that a facebook group?

I'm on lake merritt, it would be fun to do a ride with others!

@jeffmccosker said in All Delirium all the time!!!:

In my opinion, for whatever that's worth, I think Delirium is easier to ride, but mission is more fun.

I might give mission a slight edge on perfectly smooth pavement, but those conditions are rare where I live. Plus it is fun to go back and forth and blast from street to grass to dirt.

WOW! I rode Mission for about 130 miles while I was learning how to ride this thing, but once I switched to Delirium have not looked back! I get that Mission is a little more stable for straight line pavement riding, but I find Delirium deals with uneven pavement better (which is the norm around here). Seriously considering not using anything but Delirium going forward!

@510-1-whl Nice! I'm mostly around the lake, I've seen a couple other one wheelers. Nice riding next to children's fairyland. Need to take it up to Redwood though!

cars are super scary though, people drive fast and loose around here.

@goconfigure but there is no padded laptop pocket, correct?

@granite Oh yes, I also ride in a way dorky bright yellow cycling jacket when I'm in town. I live in Oakland, and do a lot of my riding on busy streets, it's nice to be visible. More afraid of cars than nosedive.

Well after two weeks on the board and two crashes, I can say I was happy to have wrist guards and knee pads for both.

Both crashes were going over the front (I hesitate to call them nosedives, because I think they were operator error) while I was accelerating uphill. the board went over an undulation in the pavement, nose touched down and I went over the front.

both crashes I landed on my hands first, and banged a knee. no problem thanks to the protective equipment. plastic plates on the wrist guards got chewed up. I've done some rides without the wrist guards but I don't think I would ride without at least gloves on.

Great! Thanks for the info.
