    • RE: A PSA to the greater OW community during the COVID-19 Pandemic

      @a_onekatie just chill please. People make mistakes and people need to be responsible for their own safety. The onewheel is not a “safe” thing to ride no matter how much protective gear you have on. If you think everyone should be responsible and as safe as possible then no one would go outside... and even then they would be at risk.

      It’s good to set an example for others, but we can’t be held responsible for others irresponsible decisions.

    • RE: How are you getting 42km/h top speeds?

      @Rado

      Dude! Would love to see that on the + ! Only 26 mph right now I believe. Go get one!

      @Rado

      Top speed 29 mph? Too bad you didn't have your app on so it could put you comfortably in first place on the leaderboard.

      @njcustom

      I think a treaded tire would be worth trying in some conditions, such as in Canada or Alaska where packed snow and ice are unavoidable. A treaded tire would definitely provided helpful traction for that, just like snow tires for cars do.

      However, I agree that the majority of onewheelers would not really benefit from a treaded tire.

    • RE: Why did the OneWheel suddenly brake at 23 mph? Result = Nosedive

      @MackaDelic

      It's important to remember the work the onewheel does when considering its limit for speed. It is constantly working to balance/accelerate according to the rider's position. If that work rate gets so high that it doesn't have enough power to support increased acceleration/balance (such as what might happen at high velocity) then the onewheel cannot effectively work to compensate for the position of the rider anymore.

      In this way, if you are leaning forward at maxed potential, then the onewheel does not have enough power to work to accelerate/balance anymore than it already does and since you are leaning forward, you fall that direction as the onewheel doesn't have the power to stop you.

      I suspect it is similar to the feeling of stepping on the edge of a cliff with your front foot. The further you lean on it, the more weight the cliff bares until the point where it cannot bare anymore and it just gives way.

      I wonder though if they could design a ride mode, or option in the app, that would keep some reserve energy to kick in at max work loads to assist with a more gradual deceleration from the max work load. So rather than just give way like a broken cliff edge, it might be a gentler drop like a partner moving toward you on a teeter totter. It would still be dangerous but perhaps easier to recover from in the moment.

    • RE: Took my Onewheel on the ultimate road trip, huge mistake now batteries aren't balanced.

      Super unfortunate to hear about your battery cells. Sounds like an epic trip though! Where did you start from?

      My wife and I spent a month in Patagonia in 2014. Such an amazing place. Wish I had a onewheel to ride then.

    • RE: Onewheel app regen at 130%???

      @IanJohnson

      Ya the cells do appear to be a little out of balance. Consistently at least three seem to read 3.62 while the rest are 3.64 and it's never the same ones. The values jump around. May have something to do with it.

      Also the status reads 8192. Checked the manual and the highest number for status in there is 15. Googled it and nothing comes up.

      That being said it seems to work fine for the most part. Yesterday I really leaned into it from a cold start and it died on me at 15 mph. I figure I was a little to aggressive for it and it just didn't know what else to do. Picked it up and it was fine. Looking forward to unlocking delerium.

    • RE: Onewheel app regen at 130%???

      @IanJohnson

      Thanks Ian.

      Ya that makes sense. However, the only thing that doesn't really fit with that explanation is the regen% continues to rise as long as I leave it plugged in, even after it's fully charged. The usage rises as well. (Was at 40% when regen was at 130%)

      Once I reset (turn off/on) then it all goes back to zero fine but the numbers creep up again if I leave it plugged in.

      Does anyone else find the same thing happening with their onewheel app?
