I guess there's always photoshop to fix that 🤣

Couldn't resist another ride in this amazing summer weather. Nearly 80 degrees on the coast, which is far warmer than normal! I'm so addicted to this thing... just a casual 7 mile ride today was the perfect end to another fine day!

***Check out the Onewheeling Guy that was randomly cruising by at the exact moment I snapped the shot! Total coincidence!

Yup! I passed right by the skate park on this voyage! I also almost stopped at the freeway ramp and considered heading up it to take some photos, but I was a bit beat cause at that point I was close to the 15 mile mark. Next time for sure!

Yes, there sure are a lot of Onewheelers around here!

@HorsePlay

The one with the road? That was on the San Luis Rey River bike path, in Oceanside along the 76. It's a very smooth long path, maybe 8 miles or so.

The one above that was on the South Strand also in Oceanside.

So actually the fender was originally the army green color, and the guy I bought it from decided to paint it. He found some paint that changes color from blue to purple, depending on the lighting. He painted the fender and bumpers. Not really my style, but it's not actually that bad.

I'm so hooked on this XR (over the pint). Yesterday I rode 12.2 miles, and today I actually used it as transportation and rode to a friend's place and back, getting in 18.9 miles! That's by far my longest ride ever, and second longest was yesterday's ride 😇.

Here are a couple photos from yesterday and today...

@HorsePlay
Thanks! It's good to be back on here and back riding regularly again! I plan to stick around and stay consistent this time, both on the forum and on the road 😇

So I just picked up a used XR with just under 200 miles on it. The range I'm getting is insane... I rode 9 miles, and had way more battery remaining than I expected. (I weigh 175 and ride at a medium pace, 10 to 11 mph, mostly flat).

Is that range normal? Seems like more than specs by far.

My question is this... why does it say I have 72% remaining battery, but says 35% usage. That equals 107%?!? The regen is only 3%, so that isn't the missing puzzle piece.

Is there something obvious that I'm just not aware of? Is this possibly just the battery aging, and the % usage is more reliable than and not in tune with the big top battery bar?

I have read that % usage resets every time you turn the board on, so that isn't necessary related to % of battery remaining, but in this example that wouldn't make sense. I believe the battery was at 100% when I started, and I just rode until I was done. Even so, the % usage would have to be less than 100% minus the % remaining (the big bar)... or at most subtracting regen from % usage would still be less than 100 minus the top battery bar.

I imagine there must be an explanation.

(Don't tell me it's because my phone battery at 68% plus my 35% usage, minus the 3% regen equals 100% 🤯... LOL! That has to be to random coincidence... right? 💁‍♂️)

Thanks in advance.

I did get a wild hair this week... stumbled across a nice used XR at a deal I couldn't refuse. Under 200 miles, so barely broken in. It has some mods that aren't exactly what I would have done, mostly from a cosmetic standpoint, but it's all good.
I'll be changing the sidekicks to white with XR on them, probably painting the fender black, and I was thinking removing the strange surfboard pad grip, but the surface is actually quite comfortable and the big bump at the rear of the back foot is functional!
Took her out for a 9 mile ride around downtown SD (I'm back down south for now). It was crazy cause I would get 9 miles out of a full charge on my pint, but I was literally at 72% battery remaining on this beast! It was a very different ride than I am used to... far more stable and smooth. Of course less nimble, but I think I fell in love with the bigger tire again.

Here are a couple photos from my ride!

I guess I was logged out so I didn't see your (and everyone else's replies). I need to make sure I get notifications or at least check in more!

@Lia
The ride was epic! It was my first time up in that part of the country in the summer time. It's so nice out... warm weather, light out until super late, and fun little pubs all around!

@b0ardski
I actually left the boat at home down south, sitting in the water right where she loves to be 😇. That would be a pretty amazing journey north tho! So far I have driven from SD to Oregon, which took 20 hours (had to stop in Fresno for a few hours for a work thing), ridden Amtrak which was a blast but took 31 hours!!! (But so rad cause unlike a plane, you can carry on whatever you want... including alcohol!), and of course flown... but not yet gone by water. Someday!

It's been forever since I've been on this forum, let alone since I started this thread... I'm hanging out up in the PNW today, with my pint. Still loving it!
