RE: Onewheel+ from ~o~ to --o-- for heavier riders
@No I need to go back and benchmark my original, but so far, sees to be in 6-7mile range, which is what I recall. I have a few commuter routes and I can make the same "refuel" stops :)
I will pay more attention and report back.

@Aaron-Broward-FL only thing better than OW is two OW :)

Onewheel+ from ~o~ to --o-- for heavier riders
Won't repeat many of the reviews that cover butteriness, etc.
Biggest thing for me, is pushing out the stability limit compared to the original. Let me explain.
I'm 210lb (~95kg) and riding near the top end on the original OW led to a very specific risk...the dreaded nosedive.
Over the last 2 years it became clear that this happened when hitting a bump or even decent incline, when near top seed. More weight made this worse...in fact, this was easy to test when adding a decently loaded backpack. Got easier to recover with bent knees, but with a concentration lapse, I'd still find myself running out or resting on ground after a spill :)
Spent the last 2 days playing around with the + and the immediately noticeable difference, is being able to hit bumps (like literal speed bumps), at higher speed, with NO HINT of wobbles. This is the main and most important difference for me and I suspect heavier riders will appreciate this too.
Other point of reference, is riding with my 10 year old now. We hit the same bumps, ride at the same speeds, etc. He can easily keep up and even outrun me on the original OW, so no doubt that bodyweight is a very important factor when considering performance.
If you're lighter, original OW is fine, but OW+ may offer a bit more. We'll know more when new digital shaping is revealed.
If you're heavier though (I'd say near 200lb/90kg), OW+ is the only way to go.

Instantly inspired me to upgrade to full face BMX. Thanks @Aaron-Broward-FL @s2kboy

RE: The next level is here
@boomlrd if it's any consolation. Only thing better than riding, is riding with someone else.
