@WoWo said in Charging me for a Circuit Board Manufacturing Defect:
in the environments you advertise on your website.
I've looked at the website again. Not sure what environments your talking about. Everything on the page shows dry conditions. No rain. No snow. No wet trails.
Figure I'll do what I do with my motorcycle. Store it till safer weather, put it out of the mind until things start warming up . . . then start chomping at the bit.
With the onewheel, this winter if it's over 40 degrees and no ice/snow where I want to go . . . I'll pull it out. Otherwise, just watch youtube video's of those in warmer climates.
I'm part of the old brittle bones group (aka Old Man Club -- and I've got the shirt to prove it :) ). I've only had a sore arm. Crash was my fault. Looked at one obstacle knew I didn't have the skills to ride over it, and chose option B without looking close at it. Tire fell into a hole and play superman did I. Friend of mine thought I broke my ankle for the screen grab I took from the video, but my foot was fine.
If your doing a package and adding something, I would think you will get the regular charger and the super charger.
@Khayman said in Verbal battery notifications:
If you use Android in the settings in ow app you can change to any sound file you want.
So make your own mp3 and change for that.
That explains it! New at this and the other day my phone started making noise like a star wars battle scene. So I stopped and the only thing I could see on my phone that caused it was a 50% battery warning. It definitely got my attention.

Just Brown PLA Plastic on a 3D printer. The hand is a scan of my own hand. Brown was the last color I had on the printer (for a client). Too lazy to change it to another color.
I pulled out the calipers, took some measurements. Sat down and designed this little "Thumbs Up" cap. If it hits on that side hard enough to damage the pins . . . I've got more to worry about than that :D.

@Mark-Vlogs said in Your Pint Shipping Date:
What protective gear do you all wear?
I wear wrist guards (already saved me skinned up hands), elbow pads, and knee pads. I also won't ride in shorts. Right now I'm using my motorcycle helmet . . . . no place in town sells a skate/bike helmet in my size. So until I get one of those ordered (in no hurry, the MC helmet offers a lot more protections) I look kind of funny.
And here is why I where all the protection :D
Heated jacked???? 20 degree weather? I don't pull out the heavy coat here in Utah until it's a minus before the number. (well not for riding, but general use :D )
@a_onekatie
Yea reading your posts, I figured you just needed something from where you have to get off to walk to the train/subway/something or into work.
@a_onekatie said in Onewheel backpack:
@b0ardski I don’t even want a “bag” TBH. I need to design some sort of sling or harness I think...
In the facebook onewheel owners group, someone has a picture of them using one of these:
Slip a loop over each end of the OW and then sling in on a shoulder like a purse or bag.
@Franko said in Simplestop:
@stinkyface do you know of any videos on different stopping methods? i'm still figuring out how to look super natural stopping on my Pint with SimpleStop enabled, but i definitely am more used to it than the thought of rolling backwards and riding fakey!
I know the feeling on the "is he going to die when he stops" simple stop dismount. I'm still working on it. Only on day 6 of riding a OW.
@DashinglyHunter
Hopefully you've already bought your gear.
@Glyph
Toe side is the one I'm having very little problem with, heal side slows me to a stop and with the simple stop enabled I start to roll backward and shuts the board off (I was doing it with simple stop off) but I figure I'll learn forward riding first then try and add backwards later.
And yes I am using knee and elbow pads and wrist guards. Unfortunately my armored motorcycle gloves won't fit under the wrist guards. And I'm also wearing my motorcycle helmet.
Once I get the driveway down to a science . . . I'll move on to a bigger area. I'm taking it nice and slow. I have it set on "Redwood". The lowest (??) setting.
Okay I've never been on a snowboard or surfboard. And its been decades since I rode a skateboard or roller blades. (yet for some reason I thought it would be fun to ride a OneWheel :D :D :D)
I've been on it 4 times now. I'm old -- and that means brittle so I'm taking it slow and easy. Haven't left my driveway yet . . . but today I found I can turn "forward" really easy. Could go down the driveway and do a "forward" turn around a garbage can and back down the driveway. When I try and turn "backward" I end up slowing to a stop. Any secret on the turning to your back?
Mine would be boring. Older, heavier guy just learning. So far my longest ride has been from my porch to the end of my driveway. :D
In all the things I've had shipped fed ex . . . if they say October 1st, you'll get it October 1st. I've watched an item sit at a fed ex place a couple hundred miles from me for a day, then it left there to the local sorting place then to me. I didn't think it mine would get here when fed ex said. Watching the shipping I thought it was picked up too late in Cali to make it to Salt Lake over night, but it did, then over night from Salt Lake to my door.
@Senior-Coffee Good to know. I'm 230 and I was expecting about 6 miles max. So sounds like my estimate was pretty good.
@DashinglyHunter DWMOW was originally sept 27, then bumped down to 24. Took two days to go from Cali to Utah :D
Ordered 9/6. Original estimated shipping 9/27. Delivered today (fender should arrive tomorrow).
Happy days ahead . . . . . hopefully.
