Thanks and sorry for long delay. Ive since talked to a few other riders and they reminded me perhaps it was my speed I gained too fast on that particular ride.
If this is true it does not excuse FM from responsibility to NOT have that happen or stress the importance of NOT gunning it until they come up with better solution than board shutting down hurling its riders in the air!
If like to eventually see something "someday" which convinces me FM cares for the safety of its riders.

@OneDan

You are sooo right, sadly....

@Swinefeaster
Thanks for this 👍

So thousands of miles experience and recent fall of NO FAULT OF MY OWN FEW WEEKS AGO Chipped away a big chunk of trust I have.

NO PUSHBACK WHATSOEVER! My XR just shut off projecting me through the air landing on my right leg (I ride goofy style , just fyi😊) I must have thought (at the time) I would try to out -run the fall.(BIG MISTAKE) my injuries are mainly my knee and to a lesser extent my heel as I know that will fade as it's getting better each day.

So My gut tells me this is a result of a bad foot sensor reading during ride. They warn you the board will shut off if you're off the sensor more than like 15 seconds I think.. also for those of you who say that you do not need the phone to ride the board and use the app I couldn't think of a better example of how that is not true . so the four just shut off and I went flying.
So I'm writing this today to give away for free two solutions Future Motion can use and implement which will not cost them or at least will keep their cost way down and possibly save lives. If they do not implement and take this opportunity Id like to know why?

One is To install a foot pad that vibrates in tandem with pushback. This also eliminates the excuse when someone says they didn't feel pushback.
The other solution is to implement an algorithm where the board slows down and speed progressively if pushback is ignored rather than shut down.

Any feedback is welcome and I'd like to know why these haven't been implemented as I'm sure somebody must've thought about them before me

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?

“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.

@tompeter

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

@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.
Going through now....

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.
