I'm in Portland OR. I've already posted on the facebook parts group. Seems like not a lot of these floating around right now.

I have improved this expanded design and plan to offer it for sale via ground shipment at some point this year. Latest iteration includes better insulation than my first prototype and I've improved cell spacing so NO modifications to the original battery compartment are required.

@mr-vince You go over them, the motor pushes you. It's that simple. Go slow so you don't nosedive.

Super duper shady, that's almost half of your warranty already "consumed" according to the gauge.

@Tarototh Your guess is the same as mine, I believe that's what carveability controls - it determines how much the front/back tilt throttle should be damped or exaggerated when the board rotates onto some strange angles during carving. It is an absolutely amazing feet that they control the "feel" of it so well and it has such an obvious impact.

a concave tail footpad (sold by FM and aftermarket) reduces the wobble a lot. When I go back to my original flat rear footpad now I feel very wobbly. But it would still be wobbly for a newb without the muscle memory, you have to develop that too.

@jlk250 is right, nosedives can still happen easily at <10mph for non-hardware-failure reasons. I nosedive every time I hit a particular dip on a small, seemingly easy, uphill section by my house. doesn't look or feel like much of a bump but it is just the right shape to overwhelm my board's torque at about 8mph. So now I avoid it and I haven't had a nosedive in 2000 miles or riding.

If the OPs board was completely powered down after the fall then I would look into hardware issues. If not then I would guess it's another case of need to respect the board's limitations, that's what it was asking you to do when you felt that surge, that surge is exactly the warning you are asking for.

could be a bad charger or the AC power cord that connects to the charger, you probably have a similar cord somewhere at home that you could try. Worth a shot.

@skyman88 said in No gyro rider balanced:

Borrow a board, buy a board or rent a board, go beat the hell out of it in its current form. Put on 200-300 miles and then come back because I think it'll completely change your perspective on what "improvements" are needed.

THIS. DING DING DING DING. Nobody I know who seriously invests time in riding a onewheel believes it needs some list of necessary improvements.

@bryphi77 lol dude 10x easier to land on tiny rollers or casters than on a giant rubber motorcycle tire? ok, sure. Whatever you say. Lets both agree to question each other's intelligence and just leave it at that.
