@stinkyface Thanks for the tips. The battery was close to full when this happened (twice). I'll leave it plugged in for a couple days and try to borrow an Android. Thanks again, Bob

While out riding, every so often, my XR+ will start slowing down with the nose raising (uncommanded) till the tail starts dragging. I get off and the blue light will be blinking about twice a second. I turn it off, then back on so the light is normal (about one blink per second) and I'm good to go.... for awhile. Every 8-10 starts the light does that fast blinking and is not ridable so I have to restart it and go. It's done that for 1,000+ miles but the slowing down is new. Idea's? Thanks, Bob.

I've ridden over 1,000 miles in Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada on city streets and sidewalks and have never been hassled by the cops. Shit..... like they could catch me LOL.

@Sponge315 Ran you off the parking lot? Seriously? I ride my O/W INSIDE the casino's when I'm in Reno. I have a 6"x6" handicap sticker on the fender (which is legit - trashed knee from ski wrecks) that I show security with an explanation. Sometimes it even works LOL.

How about just sticking the O/W in your check in suitcase along with the rest of your shit? I can't imagine why that wouldn't work. Comments anyone? I'm going to Oahu next month for surfing, hang gliding and (hopefully) Onewheeling. I always stay in the Waikiki area and the sidewalks there are about 20' wide not to mention the gently sloping beach with lots of wet sand.

@ShreddieMcskate are those round pads right in the center line between the sensors?

I'm convinced that at least half the shutoffs/nosedives are from worn out or wrong shoes. I had a nosedive, sent the board in, got it back and it still felt a little "funky". Then (and only then) I remembered that the board was acting up a year or so ago and I just happened to get a new pair of sneakers at that time. The board stopped acting up. So this time I bought another new pair and the board stopped it's "funkyness". I sure wish I'd thought of that before I sent it in. Before the nosedive sometimes I'd have to try several times to get the motor started. Try new shoes and maybe save yourself five hundred bucks.

Personally, I ride wherever I want to. The worst that ever happens is that an officialdom person will tell you not to. While I was attending the Reno Air Races in September I rode around in a half dozen casino's, always early morning when they weren't busy. Security gave me a hard time (even with a big handicap sticker on my fender) in all but one - the Silver Legacy. I know where I'M staying next year.

Oh, you poor, poor people! I'm wintering in Saint Martin right now. I ride 10 miles a day in shorts and a tank top, getting an awesome tan. Oh..... wait a minute. Shit, I guess I dreamed that.

@wheelrich, It's been a year since I saw your post. That would make me 75 and you 74. Had my first (real) crash a month ago at the 995 mile mark. Riding up my driveway at 10 MPH and the motor just shut off and down I went. I know it shut off because the board rolled back down the driveway 100'. Cracked a couple ribs and sent the O/W back. Got it back 3 days ago and rode it every day since with no apparent loss of confidence. The warning sign I should have paid attention to was that sometimes it would take a few tries to get the motor started. Sometimes up to 10 tries, then it would be fine, until...…
