Correct. FM emailed a note last week about using your OneWheel in the cold which is fine except for leaving it there. They recommended not charging or storing outside of a climate controlled room.

The "classic" test is to have someone push you from behind while you're standing. The foot which you instinctively step with forward with first is your dominant foot.... The other test is if you were to run and slide on ice or a wood floor, you do that with your feet in riding position; meaning that's the foot orientation you should stand on the board.

I'm terrible at riding switch (dominant foot in the front) but the majority skilled riders are great at it. Helps with 180's, trails, balance, etc... some folks even ride to work one way and ride home the other or do 100 miles in each then switch.

Easy way to find out how you prefer to ride is to try. Just make sure the front pad (sensors) ends up towards the direction you are going so your back foot has a little more freedom to move.

Last night it was 32 degF and the app was predicting I'd get 12 miles on a full charge. In normal 50-80 degF spring through fall weather I get 18-22 miles, and usually on the 22 end of things when on pavement in Mission.

@oneeyedzuma

How does your board ride? Is it behaving normally?

@Glyph Couldn't agree more with your statement.

Hopefully I'm not in the jerk category... yet.

Granted this is for a LifePo4 (OW+) style battery but as temps drop, the battery also responds differently. Take a look at that tail end of the curve, shows how rapidly the voltage capability decays.

OW's are less likely to surge when the battery is full. Performance is constant for ~80% of the charge and the tail end drops significantly.

If you haven't before, you should look up a voltage charge for the OW+ or XR battery types. You'll see the voltage output ~level for the majority of the usage range but when you get down near the end of the curve, it's a sharp drop. This is why the board does not perform the same when it has low battery percentage, not enough voltage in the tank to respond to a spike in demand (going up a hill, accelerating quickly, hitting a large crack, going over a root, etc...).

@owpete

Definitely give YouTube a search as most folks are uploading there.

Fangs are a "hot topic" at times as some folks are strongly against them. If you are using them all the time, probably need to work on your riding ability / understanding of how the board works... but if they save you that one fluke time, sounds great.

Do you ride off road or mainly on pavement?

@owpete

I'd have to search but join the OneWheel Owners Group on Facebook.

See your other post about the sensor for my comments on that.

What's the air temp where you're riding? How many charging cycles has your board been through?
