#21000 arrived this week, first ride yesterday. Quite an improvement over my Kickstarter edition board - more torques, more speed, more sexy, and buttery smooth.

Yes! Exactly this. I've just upgraded from a Kickstarter board to the +XR, and my first trip into town was constantly interrupted by bouts of needing to reverse uphill to burn off charge. A user-configurable max charge level (or at least an notification in the app) would be an ideal fix.

Must be great timing - the molded connected-end of my cable broke yesterday, right at the power pack end. There's enough slack in the two internal wires to lay the molded stress-relief part of the cable flat against the end of the power pack. I used a sample pack of Shgru.com to make a custom rubber protector for the exposed wires & strain-relief. It is no longer the weakest part of the ensemble - that honour now goes to my left knee.

Standard safety disclaimer applies - DO NOT LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE RIDING! You'll inevitably end up dancing on your board, misjudge the upcoming dip, and at that point the best you can hope to achieve is a left-shoulder-to-backwards-roll-popup-and-jog that lands in time with the beat.

(OMG - serious bonus points for landing the roll on the beat!!!)

TLDR: get some Shgru.com and make your own ruggidized power pack!

The ultracharger is small enough to fit in my back pocket, but for those <ahem> rare times I come off, it would be nice to know that the charger can take an impact. Detachable power leads on both ends would also be good.

If my board starts blasting hiphop at full volume, I'll know something's gone very wrong. :)

...I had another thought about this. My tire was flat after only a few rides - I wondering if airfreighting an inflated tire halfway around the world could have damaged the valve? Could the drop in air pressure in a aircraft cause the tire to "over-inflate"? Perhaps it may be wise to drop the pressure before shipping?

A couple of times I ended up with grazed wrists, until I got a pair of wrist guards. Now I have a few deep scratches in my wrist guards, and none in my flesh. :)

Oh, and Franky, have you tried deflating the tire a bit for off-road riding? I normally top mine up to around 18 psi before pavement riding, but I'll let quite a bit of air out when I'm on grass. Makes all the difference for turning.

Thanks FM - based on your post I'll continue using my board, even with all the little green drips of slime leaking out of it. :)

Looking forward to having a New Zealand distributor and service agent - if for no other reason than to give interested onlookers a local shop to buy their own OneWheel.

Congratulations again on breaking the laws of physics!
