I ride goofy and I’ve had no issues since getting the OW+ late Nov but for the last few weeks now I’m getting wheel squeak, especially when riding toeside. It will go away for a bit during riding but it always returns. The board seems to be functioning normal but every revolution one squeak regardless of speed, board on or off! Does it need grease, WD40, screws tighten? Sounds like tension noise like something is real tight not a grinding, I’m sure some of you have had this issue what was the resolution?

@at_onewheeler

I have the exact issue, I ride goofy and get it when I ride toe side, every once in a while it goes away but usually returns a day or so later, what was FM’s advice to you, did you fix it ? WD40?

@jrfent, I’m 10yrs younger and 30lbs lighter but feel exactly as you do with regard to riding style, I really feel the OW+ is more fun at lower speeds and much more survivable if ya bail! Haven’t ripped through a forest yet, that sounds awesome!

@wheelcity, Thank you, there’s some great riding advice in there, just what I needed!

@sage954, I need to start playing with the modes more as you do. At first I just thought the mode names where just creative descriptions for beginner, intermediate, and pro kinda like an eboard. I now realize how important it is to switch to different modes for better performance on certain terrains. Curious if you can switch modes on the fly, I guess I’ll wait until I’m all healed up before I start experimenting with this. My biggest issue is learning to just trust the board, it’s not as forgiving as a skateboard.

@wheelcity, thanks that’s good advice! You’re right though I need to understand the limits of this board. I need to understand the limits of the motor, what I can and cannot do rather than just make assumptions on the fly. I’ve tried elevated at a golf course and it seemed to work a lot better dealing with bumps and Little Hills keeping that nose up giving you a little bit more ground clearance and confidence but it lacked the torqued of delirium. I’ve reached 16.5mph but that now seems sketchy after my bail. Honestly this board is so much fun you don’t need to be hauling butt all the time and like I said in my original post my Boosted board is essentially useless my Boosted now feels like a huge desk with casters, completely immobile and clunky compared to OW. One question though what mode do you ride in mostly ?

I’m a noob, riding Onewheel for a week now own a boosted board for last 3 years which is now useless since I started riding the OW. I was riding at a park the other day all lawn with a small 30% grade grassy hill in front of me, was in delirium mode going about 12.5 mph and nose dived right at the beginning of the hill, Landed on my right side rib cage been in pain for the last four days. I don’t blame the board (wheel slip on grass may have contributed) but would like to know if being in “elevated” would’ve saved me or should I just slow down when coming to an incline and then gradually go up the hill rather than hard charge, been riding in delirium for every terrain but now feeling I should rethink that. What’s the best modes for different terrain any advice? I’ve read the descriptions of each mode but need some real use advice from you guys!

@sfctac I agree this seems to work for me as well; however, sometimes when I come to a light and I’m balancing waiting for the light to change the board will stop engaging and the front will fall to the ground to which I must dismount and remount once the light changes, does this ever happen to you??

@jamesgunter68

I rode today (100% charge) 56° Outside, 192 lbs (one continuous run) 40mins, got 4.9miles with 23% batt left. When I first got my OW+ I only got around 1.5miles on a full charge, I was a little concerned but kept riding and charging and after about 10 charging cycles I now get the advertised mileage. The manual states to periodically keep it charging overnight to equalize the batteries I guess try that!
