Nick's BMS was damaged when he installed the cable. Luckily a local repair shop fixed the BMS for free. Just wanted to post the outcome here as it was not due to a defect in the Ranger hardware.

Try Fangs for uphill issues like this, they work great! www.land-surf.com

No need to be sad about buying a Plus...with the Ranger kit I make you can get 2x or 3x your normal range, more power and torque, and swap batteries. Many users report more low end torque on a plus with a Ranger kit on it than on a stock XR. Check it out here: www.land-surf.com

@sfCTAC
You can have swappable batteries and tons of range right now using the Ranger from www.land-surf.com.

@vitaly Its not my product, so I don’t care really...but stealing is stealing....call it “business” but it’s theft of I.P. and unscrupulous.

The original creators (whomever that may be) have a design copyright automatically upon creation and publishing, and could make it a problem for FM if they so desired.

How about the fact that the community had this mod for a long time, then FM decided to make their own by stealing the idea and charging more for it, and calling it "innovation"? Is innovation stealing ideas from the riders and enthusiasts that came up with it first?

What they really need to do is redesign the recharge circuit so that it's smart enough to stop regen charging the battery when it's at 100%. Why this wasn't implemented yet is to me one of the great mysteries of the Onewheel.

Only took them three years to figure out leaderboards with top speed ratings were getting people hurt. Progress.

Crashes suck, sorry to hear that....If you want to keep your new XR looking good and make it easier to carry, grab one of my Bone Flex handles on land-surf.com!

@granite There is one organized in the city by "Angel" who is a prominent OneWheeler. Recently they had like 20 OW's cruising around the Presidio. I'm going to join up with them on a group ride the next time they go. Check the FB pages for more info.
