@SlyFoxxx Turn the board off, then resting on it's side power it on. Give it a sec and you can change the riding mode by tapping the front foot pad sensor with your thumb. (like slapping a bass guitar string) . The light will blink to indicate which mode you are in. 1 blink is Sequoia, 2, is Cruz, 3 is Mission, etc.

You can totally ride the board without the app. The light on the side will fade in and out faster or slower depending on the battery charge. You can put it on its side and toggle through the settings by tapping on it.

Its a clunky way to interact with the board and you wont get any warnings besides pushback and Captain M
organ, but y'know. Get out there and ride it man.

Today I was riding on a flat surface with no noticeable decline, carving to the beat of my music and I got the "BZZZZZZT BZZZZZT BZZZT" of the 100% overcharge warning. I checked the App and, sure enough, I was at 100% but after another moment it went down to 99%.

Then I started to wonder if you can propel a onewheel with weight transfer and carving. Like can you generate some regen on a flat surface the way we used to tic-tac a regular skateboard back in the Steve Caballero-on-slime balls days.

I know some of you have taken a onewheel to a pump track. did you get some regen there?

Any tire plug/patch kit will come with replacement valve cores and the tool to pull them out and put them in. Sometimes Slime can gum them up and the valve wont seat properly. If you have slime in the tire make sure the valve stem is in the 12 o'clock position to reduce the chances of he new valve core getting clogged as well.

Check with your local bike shop, first. They will probably swap the core and pump up the tire gratis if you look like you'll buy a helmet or something from them in the future.

Electric "Snowboard" !!?!?!??!!

Color me offended.

The complaint is valid though. Many of the commercials and a lot of the promotional materials show Onewheels being ridden on the beach and on muddy trails. It is being advertised as a rugged outdoor device that can be ridden in wet conditions.

It would be like a watchmaker showing their watch on a model sitting in a swimming pool, and then not doing warranty claims when someone swims with it on. And then when people blow up the forum for the watch with complaints, the watchmaker still shows its models with the watch on in pools. Its not uncommon for watches to be waterproof. It's also not uncommon for rideables (scooters, E-bikes, ESK8) to be weatherproof.

To the OP, its pretty easy to mix and match these boards. If you have three that don't function you can probably pull the part from one of your other boards that has a different something broken. There is a pretty robust parts market for these since Future Motion doesn't sell parts for DIY repairs or wear and tear. You can probably part them out and recover some money or raise the funds to get the part to repair your best one that doesn't work.

There is quite a secondary market for onewheels. There are people that buy them 6 at a time and part them out. I have seen specials and know of friends that have purchased XRs new from stores for $1300. People that know, will buy them and sell them on Marketplace and Ebay for a profit.

From a merchant's POV if it doesn't sell in x amount of time they will let them go at cost or even a loss. People look for smaller board shops where a $2000 robot skateboard may not move compared to the rest of the sub $500 inventory. Then buy it and market it to the right audience for "top dollar".

I bought mine used. When I got it I emailed FM to ask how long I had on the warranty. If it is brand new they will be able to tell you , if it isn't they will be able to tell you when it was purchased for the first time.

As far as I know there is no serial number registry or database for stolen one wheels. though there prolly should be.

I just did my first tire change in a hotel last week. I went with the Hoosier slick in the stock size. I got it to get a harder rubber as the Vega had picked up a few cuts.

I watched the tutorial on youtube by Jeff McCosker and had the tire off and the new one on in less than an hour with no tools.

Maybe check that out before you change another tire.

Also I noticed the tire is directional and I installed it backwards, lol.

FWIW I run my Hoosier at 22-24 PSI and love it. It is way carvy-er and I find the increase in low speed maneuverability well worth the trade for a lower top speed (it speed wobbles at a lower speed, maybe because of the rounder profile or maybe the backwards mounting). I have seen a few miles increase in my range, but that may be due to me riding at a consistently lower speed than any quality of the tire.

This question is in a few places. Here, the Facebook groups, and on Instagram.

Is anyone ever going to compile it into a gee whiz graphic? I saw on C-Net (or somesuch media place) that the average person with a one wheel is a 39 year old dude.

@Andersen142 in my opinion the XR is better than the Pint. As far as I'm concerned the Pint is a CG effect in a bunch of online videos because no one has gotten their hands on one except for Youtubers.
