I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long it took to get their board back from a tire change + power up, I think it was called. Basically diagnosis of electronics, swapping tire, wood and plastics. It's been there for three full weeksstrikethrough text~~. Every time I inquire about it I get, should be next week, then, next week, then tomorrow,
Then that said they are having an "event". I can only guess after reading through the forums that the problem with the 1+ it taking precedence. I guess from a business standpoint you can't tell folks the real reason, if my assumptions are correct, why their board is taking so long to do maybe 8hours of work. I have since looked up vids of people popping screws out and removing the wheel in minutes. I have changed the plastics and removed wood before.
I thought it was the right move to send it back to them but now I'm regretting it.
P.s. does anybody know if the new 1+ footpads will fit the older unit?~~

Glad you posted this. I know about the tire pressure being low causing extra wear on the sides of the tire. I found mine low a few times. After reading this I looked very close and it as a bit uneven. I have been turning the board around cuz I don't trust myself going regular footed. This leads to a whole new experience during dismounts, and allows you to shimmy your front foot around until it's comfy without fear of losing contact with pressure pad. Cool !

I had and idea similar to this, except maybe maybe more simple. What about just some extendable alluminum tubing, with a handle on one end, and on the other end, a clamp that would attach to the board somehow. I think it would be easy to wheel around with the power off, similar to a hand truck. .???

One of the reasons I used to convince myself to get a ow was that it would help me get my dog excercise. She loves it. The funny part is, today I was at a park and about six people commented, some under their breath, how my dog must be strong, or they couldn't believe she could pull me along. It's either that or ,"did you make that?" Hey , someone needs to put together a video of people's reactions and questions. I'm toying with the fact -- if your riding around on one wheel, you can make people believe things that they never would if you out were on foot.

Ok, I also wanted to mention this. After it rolled down a bank and landed upside down in a stream, I rode it home and took the foot pads and bottom covers off to check water tight integrity. I was impressed at how dry and well protected it was. A few plugs under the bottom cover seem exposed, but I think they are the waterproof type. The other thing I noticed was where a TINY ROCK knocked up the metal edge of, I'm guessing, the battery box, right near the tire. I could see a rubber gasket under it, so I took a flat head screwdriver and tapped it back down flush. I now have 290 miles and I have only had it for two months. I think it's built like a tank. Love the reactions it gets out of folks also. There are some true threads on here about questions asked by strangers. think it may be my prized possession.

Ok, I have only had my wheel for about two months, at first I got my pants dirty every time it was wet out, then my fender arrived. It definitely works and does its job. My long driveway is packed gravel, and some very small rocks in some places. I will say this about the fender, it is a bit more of a noisemaker, although I have grown to like the silly noise a rock makes as it travels over the wheel / between the fender. I have read a lot of discussions about using a different tire, one with tread perhaps. I think this would amplify the rock problem. I'm thinking more rocks would get trapped in the tread.
