Update:
While waiting for cheapFocer vesc from Funingeer, I set up the modified Surfwheel to run on a hoverboard controller configured to run one motor.
The result was a disappointment as the board's nose was pointed down all the time.
Still no cheapFocer after a month, so I got a Tramps 6MK4 vesc. It took almost a week to configure the vesc to to ride decently.
I posted a ride video on Facebook "Diy onewheel builders". I was riding slow in the video as it was a matter of trust in the last vesc configuration.
The green circuit board is the hoverboard controller.

@blkwalnutgrwr I built this 1/4 scale from stuff I had laying around.

• Aluminum rails.
  -The tire is from a 1/10 RC buggy with the knobs sanded off.
  -The hub is two piece machined aluminum with small allen screws.
  -Small ball bearings in the hub.
  -Carbon fiber float plates and sandpaper for griptape.
• Decals are hand cut.
  
  

@lemur Thanks for all the guesses.
Here's the items' purpose.
The aftermarket Pint float plate has a handgrip cutout and unless you have eagle talons for fingers it's next to impossible to use.
It's not practical to permanently attach this item as it may interfere with curb nudges, so it's just a handle to carry the Pint in crowded areas.
The 1/4 inch bit diver can be used as a screwdriver.
Feel free to copy this design.

@lemur Here's a final clue:
-Pint float plate

This clue should trigger something

I have a item that this community may want to guess its' purpose.
Clues:
-It's for a Pint equipped with an aftermarket accessory
-It has dual purpose
-Made of stainless steel
-No dimensions, you will have to determine that for yourselves

I won't answer questions and will only reply to the right guess


Just to mind phuc with you, the size of the item can be determined by comparing it to the 1/4 scale XR.

Winning guess can claim bragging rights and blessings from the "no nosedive gods". Haha
I will reveal what this item is sometime in the next few days.

This post is not related to Onewheels except the use of a Pint tire
This is just for general info and I posted on Facebook "Diy Onewheel"

Surfwheel R1 makeover
I bought R1 as a curiosity piece since I already have a couple of Onewheels. It was cheap on Ebay.
The Surfwheel is almost unrideable due to the solid rubber wheel and what I believe is a modified electric unicycle speed controller.
This is my makeover:
-Stripped off extra pieces
-Cut off solid rubber tire
-Onewheel Pint tire (10.5x4.5x6) fits over the bare motor hub and width looked ok
-Machined flanges, drilled and tapped motor hub for 6 10x24 screws
-Used a 3.5x6 inner tube and hoped for the best. Seems to be fine

• Used 1/4 inch spacers under "u" shaped motor hub axle mounts to widen the rails to Onewheel Pint width
  -Made abs bottom plates and top aluminum plates with "speed holes" (each hole is worth a couple of kms of added speed)😂
  -Cut down a rear footpad from a Onewheel Xr to fit
  -Went for a test ride and the pneumatic tire completely changed the R1, it can actually turn and carve like a Pint.
  -The controller is iffy at best, hard to mount, hard to dismount ( have to drop it on its side)
  -Unfortunately yesterday I let the "magic smoke" escape the speed controller probing for a 5 volt source 😢
  -Ordered a Fungineer controller and chances of finding a Surfwheel
  controller is next to impossible.
  I will finish the project when the Fungineer controller arrives.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

@Lia Your idea sounds good!
I've just bought a used Pint that I can use for experimenting. Hoping to add a aftermarket VESC that can handle 15 cells and up.
I've ordered a Focer speed controller from Fungineer, but it's only recommended for 12 cell max.
I'm sure the Pint/XR/Plus motor can be overvolted.
I'm not the only one thinking of replacing the stock controller with a programmable one. When the new married Onewheels run out of warranty, there may be dead Onewheels "floating" 🤣around.

@RickN Maybe with elevated the nose is already up and your weight is centered? I've not tried elevated, but I'll give it a try.

@Lia For sure, the added current available at the start of the ride on the Chibattery/Jwbattery the pushback is harsher, but as long the rider is aware that as the battery discharges the motor has less power available to pushkack and keep you upright.

@RickN I have a JWbattery in my Pint and finally had a chance to take it for a ride.
I also installed a battery meter and programmed it for 15 lithium cells.
The route I took was flat, I weigh only 140Lbs. my Pint has a Burris slick at 16 psi.
I rode for 17 kms , but decided to call it a day as my toes were getting numb from the cold, 6 degrees C (42 degrees F).
My meter read 27 % @ 52.8 volts at that point. The voltage doesn't match the voltage chart provided by JWbattery. According to the chart, 52.8 volts should be 45%. My meter may be off or the chart is just a rough guide.
With this new battery, my Pint is creeping into the low end of XR range.
Push back is quite pronounced at the beginning of the ride, but mellowed out as power dropped a bit. Have to be aware of the changes.
One of the best mods for the Pint, tire is next best!
