College student that was introduced to the OW by another student who graduated. Thought it was awesome, so now I'm on the lookout to purchase one!
This is a late reply, but I got my V1 for $500 with only 26 miles on it. Just passed 800 miles on it and still on the Vega!
IMO getting another Onewheel for $500 is a STEAL. Especially if you'd want it as a secondary board for friends to ride. Just gotta be patient enough to find those really good deals.
Currently looking to get a lower mileage (<200) XR for $1000. It'll take time, but I've seen them around
FM did a livestream post announcement of Gemini. In it, they said that Mission is all zeros/default.
"From what I understand these three settings don't full encapsulate any of the modes as each mode has over 20 variables that need to be fine tuned to create the ride. You can affect one or more of these with each slider and as you change multiple maybe more as the combination of settings is what determines ride." - Another post about this same question
"Mission is my favourite, so smooth, like riding on a cloud"
"I am Delerium off-road, mission on."
"Delirium is way more responsive. Mission is more buttery"
"I switched back to Mission after riding Delirium almost exclusively. It's definitely less responsive but more in a smooth way, not a bad way. It feels more cruisey, like you're on a "mission". Delirium is straight up power and responsiveness, in the end, I switched back to Delirium but they both have their merits."
"The brakes are much more responsive on Delirium.. that's mostly why I ride in that mode. I should switch to Mission for range when I don't need all the torque though..."
"-delirium, more power usage for the maximum responsiveness
-mission, just as good."
"I ride Mission all the time only because I have a + and want the most range"
"D for quick acceleration and off road. M for buttery smoothness and cruising on road."
"I normally ride delirium all the time (on +). Extra torque but less mileage. Mission is better for flat paved paths and for distance IMO. Mission is fine for me at the paved beach along the paths. I was in mission today around town and it was struggling up hill I wont do that again. Delirium only except for beach runs."
Various quotes from Facebook post about this question!
Don't have any experience, but depending on how cold you're talking it might be that. Their website advises not to operate the OW below 32F. That said, people still ride around in the winter, but the colder it gets the weirder your OW will operate.

@readysetawesome I'm curious to hear about the overcharging shutdown with OW's because it seems actually like a quite common thing. Does going down a relatively big hill charger your OW up quickly? There's quite a steep hill about 200ft long near my house, and I use it to get to a bike trail. When I get my OW I don't want to go down the hill knowing that it could shut off depending on how close to 100% I am.
I don't own a OW (yet) and I didn't see any other posts about it, so I thought it'd be fun to hear of riders who ride in the winter/snow!
Lots of questions, but also feel free to talk about your experience in general!
@tomfoolery I'm located in MN so there are some sales for the OW, but when looking around online I can usually find a much better deal.
I have venmo, but I'll have to check out their dispute/scam help page.
I'm on the lookout for a OW, and I've been checking craigslist areas out of my state. I was thinking that I would go through PayPal when I find the right sale etc.
Does anyone think this is a bad idea?
How else can I (and the seller) make a safe/secure payment?
I obviously don't want to get scammed and I don't want the seller to be afraid of me.
@wheelrich As someone who is looking for a OneWheel, it was a great read to follow the thread that you wrote! I am 22 and have never skateboarded/snowboarded, but I definitely will follow some of your techniques because they seemed like a great exercise! Also, like everyone else, I really don't want to nosedive within the first couple of months.
