Ill just get into it, lets post our funnies here!

I pulled my OW from my trunk with my girlfriend and brother and this man who was in running gear looks over at me and says "I haven't seen one of those for about 10 years..."

everyone looks at each other

Me: "Do you travel time? 10 years? You know what this is?"

Him: "Yea, I have seen those about 10 years ago"

Me: "Uh, Im not so sure man, this is pretty new" as I press button to engage board

laughing in background

Him: "My friend used to have one and he used it all the time"

I stand up on the board - staying still

Him: "Yea he was good at it, he could stay up on it for-- Holy shit thats cool what is that?! I thought it was just a balance board!" As I speed away

Laughing in background increases

They need an emergency shut down feature, id love to use it as someone is speeding away to watch them eat it. hahaha

Started at town lake -

Got my Snowcone-

Almost there -

Here we are -

@1woman1wheel I like that, "tribe", sounds more friendly than a gang. Like a biker gang... but a tribe can have like names too.

We should all form local tribes.

@thegreck I guess you guys cant see it. I cant seem to figure out how to post one... says its "too big"... if i had a dollar for every time i heard that...

Ok the devil is in the details, I had a similar fall exactly as you explained and this is the cause and solution below.

You said "I had to lean forward to regain my balance, and in doing so, quickly pegged the speed on the OW causing it to stop and send me tumbling forward."

So what happened was you pushed through the push back breaking the top speed of 12mph you will notice the nose is elevated near this point... once this happens the nose of the board will change behavior as you move past the push back point.

The change in behavior is that the nose will start dipping as you increase speed towards 15 mph and beyond. What happened was your weight was on the nose while it was elevated near 12 mph... then you made it past the push back still with your weight on the nose combined with "beyond push back nose dip" instantly made you nose dive your board in less than a second. Its not a cut out, its a crash.

This happened to me exactly two times and has never happened again because I expect it at high speeds. I still notice the slight nose dip tho.

The solution is wait for the nose dip and and shift your weight off of it as you push past the push back point. You can go even faster, the board's nose will dip a little but you compensate for it.

Like i said that exact thing happened to me, i know exactly what youre talking about. Its the nose dip after the push back phase. Watch where your weight is during that phase.

Like I said, i really ride this thing as hard as i can several times a day. Its not a lock-up or a cut out... its a crash.

@SC720 DUDE - Thats when you say "Actually my board is about to lose power - can I get a ride real fast?"

I will be definitely be placing an order in the next week (when i get paid). I was riding at the park a few days ago, had to pick up my dead Onewheel and I got dog poop all over my hands, arms, shirt and pants before i realized it was on the bottom of my board... so yes, I really want this.

@thegreck RESPECT THE BEAST

Youre right, but damn this really blows for me personally. As an investor I feel they should have considered upgrading replaceable parts for all models.

Maybe just pay for an upgrade fee, not a entirely new unit.

Well you can send it in to replace the motor / battery... why not send it in to get it completely upgraded? I think my entire OW + $500 bucks should cover it.

For some people 1.5k is nothing... for others its a serious investment.... They really need to keep their loyal customers happy who had been here. This new wheel looks amazing and I have to miss out :(

So why cant I trade my V1 in towards the cost of a V2?

I feel a bit ripped off, I havent even owned mine for a full year and paid 1.6k for it... then this comes out and im left behind?

I really wish they would take my V1 and give me a V2 for like 300ish extra bucks on top.

It blows in my opinion, i spent 1.6k on mine last year... then a new one comes out thats even better.... i cant afford a second one but I feel like they should let us trade our old ones in for some value towards the new one....

Im actually upset that they havent offered any deals for trade ins.... like a discount or something.... pisses me off.

and if you keep your pressure on the front foot during push back you will bypass "max speed" and continue gaining speed up 22mph according to some users. I have neared that speed myself.

Be super careful when bypassing push back as the nose will dip immediately during that phase and can cause a nose dive.
