I think it is a great time for the original OW board owners to upgrade their boards. Can skip the OneWheel ND and go for the OneWheel XR. Would miss the 20 minute charge though.. Finally a board that has a range that is not embarrassing to mention; compared to current day mobility devices.
*ND is the Nose Dive model, also referred to as OneWheel Plus.
I got the original board, backing these guys on Kickstarter. When I got mine, it cost a few hundred bucks in Shipping. I think FEDEX or DHL handled it. Big ass heavy box.
Why not return your board to OW. Get a refund and buy the new one. Ask VPOST to send it back. Think the new one would be better than the OneWheel ND. (ND = Nose Dive). I put off getting that board cos of all the nose dives reported that don't happen on the original board. Maybe the new one will solve that issue.
I sometimes use my SKINNERS... Barefoot feel without the risks of being barefoot.. also great for riding at the beach.. no sand in shoes...
@dino nice looking helmet! Where ya get it from..?
Got my shipping confirmation. Thankfully $50 shipping costs waived as a discount after reminding OW that they did promise discounts on the fender for Kickstarter backers.
Seeing you guys wrap the board makes me want to do the same... Especially the amount of real estate to play around with on the fender..
They did promise discounts for the fender for kickstarter backers at one time.. They obviously forgot.
What happened to the discount for Kickstarter backers. That was promised by them for the fender.
I was also thinking of trying it out on my local golf course.. especially when you need to separate from your buddy and let him take the cart to his ball further away.. don't see this damaging the course as it has a flat and fat tire.
Need to get one of those PGA players to start using one.
Just double click the crown on the watch and it shows the last used app..
Anyone tried riding off-road? Can try the green corridor (ex- Malaysian Railway)..
Where do you ride at Simei.. most placed ban these things...
i found a place that has no sign banning motorised scooters or PETs... it is the park opposite the Gardens by the bay, on the Marina Golf Course side.... Tanjong Rhu...

once you ride it a few more times, suddenly you will get good at it.
i still suck a bit at stopping and getting off it without holding on to something... best bring along a hiking stick for emergency stability... :)
How do you guys keep your Apple Watch app connected? Once I put my phone back in my pocket, the connection is lost after a minute of so...
It is worrying to note that the lifespan of a OneWheel here in Asia is limited to the lifespan of the tire. God forbid I get a puncture! That would be the end of my OneWheel.
There has to be a viable solution to this. One round trip sending the thing back to the U.S. costs half the price of a OneWheel!
FutureMotion - please respond to your international backers or else your future sales overseas will be severely limited once the real truth is known.
Anyone done off-road riding with the OneWheel. I know the green corridor does not ban PETs..
I think the ban on PETs is really shit. Especially while allowing bigger and faster bicycles to use the parks.
Maybe we should all meet up for a ride or something once we establish who all the owners are...
Happy for you... It is really a great thing to ride! After about a couple of tries, you will get the hang of it..
It just too bad that our government has banned all motorized things in parks, park connectors etc...
Where you gonna ride yours..?
Mine is slipping slightly as well.. I just wonder how bad it can get. How out of position is yours..? Any idea is this is an easy fix or, once again, we are required to send the OneWheel back to the U.S. to get it fixed..? :worried:
