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...…

Got my O/W back from the factory a few days ago, my wallet being $460.00 thinner. They changed out a something-or-other controller for $260.00, a new tire for $100.00 (which I didn't ask for since I had a new one sitting on the shelf) and shipping. Everything works great and no more of the not always starting shit when I step on it. It had been doing that for a couple weeks and I was a little concerned but soldiered on and paid for it. My cracked ribs (forth time...… so far) are healing nicely but sneezing is still low on the fun scale. Been riding every day and finally got over the 1,000 mile mark. It was my first O/W injury. BTW, I'm 75, still ski and fly my Long EZ.

@Kielanders Yes, it has fangs. I bought it used (86 miles) and the owner had installed them. They saved me a couple times riding from pavement to sidewalk up short, steep wheelchair transitions and did their job. I sent it back to O/W 3 weeks ago and haven't heard back.

e url)Sands Hope this comes through. This is me riding to breakfast inside the Sands Casino in Reno last month while attending the Reno Air Races.

Thanks for the reply, but it's on the way back FedEx to get fixed. Thing is, when the motor shuts off you are going DOWN, HARD. I have two cracked ribs. When it returns I'll ride again, but if it ever shuts down on me again, my O/W days are SO over. I love riding my O/W but a shutdown is just the worst thing that can happen (when you don't deserve it).
