    @SlyFoxxx

    HAVE to ride everyday! If you live around Manhattan Beach chances are you've seen me.
    I'm extremely friendly and by now not ashamed to say an expert on "FM's Onewheel" so please feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I'd be happy to answer them as best I can.
    RIDE ON!

    • RE: ONE WHEEL XR! ONEWHEEL ONLY 120 MILES

      Hi, sorry,..I should have been checking this post more often friend.
      Serial number is posted on the ad you read in title. The tired first two Letters "VE" in Vega i had started to Repaint so if you see the board with the tire that I had on there you'll see in Bold new white paint the V and E redone and the G and A still old and crappy looking. I had gray side rails on the board original Onewheel black fender with white stripes on the top and in the middle he kind of holographic 45 inch wide wrap. I don't think it matters because it changes all the time going up and down but the board head 1225 miles when I had it last and the only outstanding thing I can think of is a Nick in the left front corner of the board and signs where I sanded it around the edges. The biggest thing you might notice is it's missing one of the side rail panels that kept falling off. I still have in my truck.
      Also they sent me the plus panels even though I have an EXR so you'll see stripes instead of XR. I'll try to get a picture up as soon as possible I had to do some digging because I didn't have many

      Thank you for any help

      I should repost this on the main boar. If you're better at this Tom I wouldn't mind you doing it but I'm not asking. Either way you have my permission she do anything and everything.
      As an every day rider for a few years I was and have been devastated by this. Certainly not a rich feller. Couldn't just go out and get a new one with all the Fixin's .
      TY
      Ill checking this more often now

      Onewheel’s price now is 1474.00 before tax. Can you beat that?

    • Stolen XR SN: 1940092319 Or OW092319

      link text

      “Seller” otherwise known as “lowlife thief” took it from my t while at Hotel in Carson Ca.
      Found it days later with clear markings it was mine. Later confirmed when he stated it didn’t have original charger or charger packaging. (Clearly knows nothing about Onewheel ) Also stated it had 107 miles when in fact had over 1200 miles. He removed the fender and protective grey side rails. Laughable to look at bottom and assume legit at 107 miles.
      Of course he didn’t respond to ANY of my inquiring questions when asked what he meant by “not original packaging” for charger or when offered to meet with him. Wouldn’t give s/n either.
      I just don’t know why since the 3rd. eBay hasn’t responded to my several messages informing them to stop the sale or inquire about it. Now Ebay is on my s**t list !

      If Anybody knows a way to track down this loser (seller) or ANY one YOU happen to know who either works at eBay or to take eBay info on this in finding this guy please let me know for a handsome reward $$$ upon recovery.

      Are you or were you original owner of this board. Do you happen to have the serial number?

    • RE: My XR was stolen on a test ride....

      @skyman88

      Stolen and finding it on Craigslist or EBay sounds great! You found it! Now good luck getting it back as you watch days go by and sheriff’s s not able to do a damn thing about it.

    • RE: Motor “cough”?

      @jeff8v7
      Hi Jeff,
      I just read you post and we are similar with mileage and perhaps experience.
      I had fee tried going off stock with anything yet. I live in LA and need to find experienced tire guy swapper uhh person.
      My concerns are what to clean around bearings with as well as changing bearings for new and possibly better ones. Seems not only have to go to a machine shop but find someone to do it properly.
      Not a fan of sending in board to FM. That's like taking my Lexus to Lexus for maintenance. Throwing money away i can't afford. My XR has 1k now. Seems to have more torque than my old plus.
      I have to say be careful when trusting board up and downhill. Going down you run risk of board sitting off if you over charge. I'm sure you know that. Going uphill keep in mind there is a few risks.
      Damage to your motor. On lower battery charge you may feel a pulsing it slipping. Took me long time to figure out my batteries were not balanced. Once a month charge board overnight to prevent this. Number 2? Do not take board uphill less than 10%. Just my rule but i think safe one. Nothing sucks more then board shutting off throwing you more until you experience that AND having to chase after it racing downhill.
      Most important man is be careful with the trust thing. We all have to trust our boards but machines do faulter. I had FM replace my front of because sensor went faulty, thought i was not onboard and threw me. 6 months later my shoulder feels as painful as when i injured it.

    • RE: A PSA to the greater OW community during the COVID-19 Pandemic

      @Sponge315 said in A PSA to the greater OW community during the COVID-19 Pandemic:

      :

      Ok, well apologies for the delay. Been pretty busy lately planning a move across country back to Florida. I'm not looking forward to it as I'm from Florida born and raised but never did get used to the humidity or heat. The only time it doesn't bother me is when I'm literally on the beach 🤷🏻‍♂️
      In response to the topic and regarding any "numbers" put out there. I take that with a grain of salt at best, remember huge percentage is coming from retirement homes and cases that match those easily suspectable. Before all this happened I got very sick. Covid? Took me two good weeks to get over then roommate got sick got over it slightly quicker than I did. Had the federal government issued tests like every other country myself and those around would have benefited. Gonna stop blabbing here and get your opinions on this. Remember the two doctors who were banned from YouTube because they spoke the truth? Being pushed from their superiors to "lie" about deaths and encouraged to sign off that they were Covid deaths even if they were not? Now extrapolate that out across the country two doctors that haven't come forward how many does that add up to. Many other doctors have come forward if you look into it I have more proof on that. They said this virus is no different than the regular flu virus as far as number of deaths and severity. They were pissed off about the government and media making it out to be something much bigger and the harm it will and is doing to our economy. We have to be smarter American and stick together. We have to be our own investigators and our own believers of what's true and just.if we have learned anything from the internet age thus far is that there is much disinformation out there and if you don't learn how to distinguish truth from BS at the most basic level then you are perfect the controlled Americans they want you to be. That part is not conspiracy just fact. One thing that keeps me grounded and keeps me pissed to find the truth when I don't have the energy is the people that have fought and died and lost everything for our freedom and to protect what we have left of that freedom. Enabling any Injustice against our freedom is a slippery slope I refuse to let happen on my watch if I can help it.
      It sickens me to see the conformity of so many Americans having trust and the current government over logic. We are the country The Americans not the government's we are stronger we have numbers no matter how much power they have we will always rule. it stands to reason every so often we have to make a stand to remind them of that. Maybe it's that time.
      Watch this video and then tell me what you think. Don't assume you're always being told the truth.
      Conspiracy theorist or conspiracy realist?
      Godspeed everyone

    • RE: In The Wild, Photo Share (If Possible To Capture).... Keep Your OneWheel In The Shot If You Can. (Updated Title)

      Man, your brave! I dont know your weight but I'm 167 and I set it accordingly to 170 (unless toting a weighted bp) but 28?? I think I'd be flailing all over the road. I bet you get great milage though 👍

    • RE: A PSA to the greater OW community during the COVID-19 Pandemic

      @Sponge315
      Sorry bout delayed response.
      That's funny you mentioned Omega Man. Great example!! Just be careful out there. I'm pretty good and I still run into the unexpected. Night riding is my favorite time but I always make sure I'm extra careful since it's harder to see all those road imperfections. If you do come upon say, a speed bump or crack in road (out of nowhere) you'll find out eventually that going-with-it is surprisingly the best option rather than accepting a fall. Just last night for example, I was going top speed on unknown turf. I didnt see the speed bump!! Luckily at 49 I still haven't lost my childhood reflexes. I was able to hop up just enough taking some weight off the board so I had better chance at making it. It payed off and nothing feels better than "making it" from what could have turned out to be an ugly accident. I've noticed many times this has happened to the point of it's better to drudge through In most cases than ditching! You'll surprise yourself having that tiny bit of extra confidence in your board when the time comes.

      @Franko
      Yup! That's the word that gets me everytime, "mutate" nobody in the news that I'm aware of have even gone there yet. Have they?? Hoping it was safe to assume that that's not a possibility..everybody would be up in arms if they failed to mention that and knew it was a possibility. Does anybody know the odds on that? Have they displayed those stats??¿¿ Somebody tell me that it's absurd to ponder this be a product of engineering at its finest at some point in time? If the virus has no incubation period they can give it to hypotheticallyeverybody. Say for example over the last year dropping from planes on us and beyond microscopic dust size. Inhaling each and every day but beyond our knowledge. Never to be noticed by anyone. Then, systematically fires off at will where and when outbreaks will occur maybe doing it in waves so the little people can catch their breathe. Okay maybe the remote thing is a stretch but not out of the realm of possibility in this day and age. Say incubation. It could still be done. Be safe and keep it under the table as much as possible. They decide and say we won't let any testing be done as long as we can hold it back. Again, so we won't know we even have it until it's upon us. Folks, was it 2010 or 2012 when all those FEMA camps were found and wasn't it thousands or was it millions of body bags lined up on the ground. ( Made all the headlines in the conspiracy world and all over YouTube at time) was it for this? Somebody's evil plan get delayed? Yes, or course they weren't able to take our guns, remember? Of course with Snowden coming forward alerting us to the joy of metadata and it's use on us by our very own government. Hmm, I'm missing the third. I'm sure there's a third thing, there's always a third thing. Possibly Hillary losing the election?..bom bom boOOmm ! Could be🤷🏻‍♂️
      Anyway incublation period?! Or...just another way of say, "sorry, you don't know when the fuck are you going to get it!"
