    • 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.
      Going through now....

    • 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.

      @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

      @LidPhones 28 PSI!!??
      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 👍

      @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!"

      @a_onekatie
      HiyaKatie ..!? 🤗 We got the message and thankyou! 👍 I'm sure a lot of people saw your message and it was absorbed
      No politics here or rhetoric to try to keep you interested in reading my comments so you'll comment back....
      Oh and if I could just do one small plug here..
      Fellow OneWheelerer's! Surely you're aware that this strange point in history may be upon us longer than we had expected. You must be vigilant and stay inside, avoiding traffic at all cost. Refuse to go outside.🚷 Take a stand with family, friend and well 🥁🥁.......anybody else currently around you at the moment.😁 🥁🥁
      Once that's done you got to "sneak away" dudes !! 😳😉 The streets are empty!!! We may never get this opportunity again!.. I swear I feel like a superhero out there sometimes. Seriously though (GO!!) always always be careful. These things are machines after all, though sometimes they feel like an extension of us while riding. Always be prepared for the unexpected by having an escape plan every second of your ride. Think I'm kidding? Do it! Then just when you've had enough, keep doing it! (Split Sec escape plan) You'll become a much safer and stronger rider all around. "Live to ride/ride to Life" .....(ya, I'm Workin on it 🤷🏻‍♂️) (small plug right hea hea.😁✌️)

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

      @a_onekatie Thank you for writing this Katie. I am hear to confess my wrong doing. I have literally put a "few thousand" miles on my boards and I've been stupid lucky nothing has happened to me. I'm 49 years old, ride better, carve harder, hit faster than anyone I've seen (on youtube or elsewhere) . But If I was not stupid lucky which is rare or my reflexes were off just ONE DAY OR TIME. Well I probably wouldn't be around to write this or tell you how important this is.
      As you advance in skill you'll notice more and more people will watch you and cheer you or even follow you around getting the nerve to ask you questions or whatever. Sounds cool. Well, it is but if your seriously hurt you may never get that far to experience that feeling 😔.
      That would be a shame.
      Protect yourself, always, so you can get to see your true FULL POTENTIAL. ✌️👍
      Katie couldn't be more accurate. I should and WILL be setting an example now instead of thinking how a helmet might look on me. Stupid stupid stupid and yes, careless. I now know I did not look cool but a fool. I actually have a helmet but don't wear it. Dumb! Meanwhile I'm confessing to you all (and this is for me too as reminder) that I will wear a helmet (even the crappy one I don't care for starting now.
      Anyone who has seen me in MBeach area and Torrence area, I apologize for not thinking to be example and to any kids reading this. Don't ever skate,ride or actively do anything where you know you are SUPPOSE to wear protective gear and you don't. There is a reason for it otherwise football players, hockey players, proffesional skaters and "OneWheelers" wear gear. Because someone like Katie took notice and followed logic to have protection on where it's needed. All preventing what could be something you may never be able to walk away from after just ONE wrong slip, slide or something that is unexpected like a driver of a vehicle doesn't look or see you.
      If your a kid who's talking a scaped you hand, let or arm on gritty pavement, ... remember that pain? Imagine now if you had that SAME FALL but where you got hurt before you had a pad or helmet on spot you hurt yourself. Now you understand and you'll wear gear so if you have an accidental fall ever again chances are instead of crying in pain and missing out on joining your friends for weeks or longer, you may be able to get right up from that and keep riding with your friends. Much better than being stuck in bed in crying pain while they are off having fun without you.

    • RE: What to do when your board doesn't connect at all!??

      @OneDan Thanks man! Helpful information...im just surprised because just got done with one board issue that was resolved, (took forever) which Ian at Onewheel took lots of time helping and resolving footpad problem. During that time I mention my connection issues and im sure he would have mentioned what your saying to me. At least i would hope so. We spend a premium. Why would he leave Bluetooth upgrade out? It doesn't make sense for me to call him up and bother them all over again next week or the whenever.
      Ill look into what you said about BT and people writing in the same.
      Right now im currently trying to figure out why my roommates new XR is operating and faulting not as well as my plus. Seems ti have more tourqe, yes, however its doing something that leaves me nervous for him. When he is at light or starts to go . It will nosedive. Fully charged and new board so.
      Still new so we are looking into it but as you may or may not know discovering where the problem lies can be a dangerous and painful process...

      @Motoproponent
      Thanks, can you tell me what you mean "tapping"? On power button so it DOES do more in fact than just power and warning lights? If so what where do I find legend regarding that?
      Thanks again!

      Ya, i was little sarcastic and upset when i wrote first one. I pretty much don't miss a day riding. Today I'm sick as a dog and am currently out with my Onewheel date as I type this. 😁

      Cheers! 👍

    • RE: It Bricked

      @Kielanders

      Im going to try fangs as a result of not just what you said here which is HUGE but my similar incident under 10mph. Didnt brick but nosedived. I think i may have tilted board down too much on "getgo" and threw me off. Still healing from clavicle injury which wakes me up every night in pain.
      My theroy was a better regulating capacitor (or transformer) is needed for better flow of energy between battery and motor. Don't know just made sense in my head. What do you recommend for fang brand? I dont think ones that are too hard would be good compared to softer more rubber-like ones that could handle bumps better on pavement. Thoughts?

    • RE: What to do when your board doesn't connect at all!??

      @SlyFoxxx

      I appreciate all the feedback but as Jerre mentioned, restarting phone everything time tends to work. A lot of restarts are needed so should be mentioned here. (glad he confirmed the same solution that recently is ONLY thing that has worked)
      Other issues without app should be addressed as well.

      1. if light is off you kinda screwed if you ride as much as i do qnd at night. If you read laws its technically illegal. Upon discovering that you have to wonder if FM would even have the cool lights with the boards if didnt have to. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to "toggle" that on/off. I always ride with a backup flashlight anyway. My Fenix adjusts from about 100 lux to 980 lux powered by the same 18650 battery i believe boards use.
      2. If boards last mode slips between mounts and falls into say "cruz". Thats where your stuck until reconnecting again. How do you toggle your way outta that back to good ol' Missionary? (Happens all the time until FM gets clever and puts a "hold" button in app) How many times have you looked down at app while riding for a quick glance and cant read your current because you have to click "ok"? Talk about frustrating.

      All easy app fixes to me and ive mentioned but i supposed it may be a long time before we get the honest answer as to why these simplicity's aren't corrected.
      In many cases with electronics over the years ive found there is a "backdoor" or "notso mentioned" way to toggle through settings. Funny, just tonight accidentally on my Android phone once you hit whatever button in settings those 8 or 10 times to get into developer mode. (Everyone knows that i guess) I tried the same for others and after clicking a bunch on os version a backdrop appears with Andriod in circles in middle of screen. I then clicked that a few times and screen went blue with a floating squid you can play with dragging your finger it will follow it. Some easter egg thing i guess. Cool to find though.
      All is moot however, i just dont want nor should be app dependant. Feels like a 🐕 on a leash. Rough!!

    • What to do when your board doesn't connect at all!??

      What to do when board doesn't connect and tried everything including reinstalling the app?

      I lost my iPhone due to unfortunate Onewheel mishap where front of iphone got crushed.
      Now using Android and everyday or id lucky every other day Ill get to actually ride my board.
      Aint that a bitch? Modern tech....must be real hard to figure out cause I know those guys at Onewheel would have fixed by now.
      Causes lot of stress when wonder if ill be able to ride that day or not. Guess today's a not. Oh well, guess its all still new for these guys still at FM. Got to hand it to them they are trying pushing to be big company so what can I say. Fun when it works.
      Heard someone stepped up to help these boys out with new app? Anyone know a date?
      Looking forward to riding everyday like i used to.

      What are others? I put in custom for nose to be up +3 and normally ride in Mission.
      Surprisingly, the +3 using "custom" Onewheel seems to have not enough torque on getgo and nosedived before it even moved (while riding however with nose at +3 it seems fiine and nose was noticably higher.
