r/onewheel

I fell backwards this morning (on foot) off a hill of sand walking my dog. Long story

I was fine. I think that onewheel is improving how fast I can react. I should have fallen but I was quick… the first thing that popped in my head was falling off the wheel.

Improve anyone else’s balance?

How much?

How much should I sell my One Wheel for? Its a GT with pink finder, side guards, foot guards, hyper charger, and bag. The wife just isn't into it. It has 54 miles on it.

XR 52 MTE shim question

XR 52 MTE spacer/shim question.

I pulled my motor apart and found an existing shim/spacer in the stack. I also have this separate shim shown in the photo.

For an XR with a 52mm MTE setup:
• Do I install this shim and remove the existing one?
• Remove both completely?
• Or run both together?

First board???

I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger since last November. Initially I was thinking a XR-classic, then a GT for extra range and now I discovered the X7 long range. I’m seeing GT on the used market for around $1,600 with very little mileage. Should I get a GT or splurge for the X7? I understand the extra “setup” on the X7 but from what I hear they are almost ready to ride out of the box. Now waiting a month or two for delivery sucks. I’m not a speed demon and mainly looking for good range on bike trails pedestrian trails. Suggestions?

Camera for Onewheel content (Insta360 X5 or wait for X6)?

I see rumors that it's coming out soon, I have some ideas that I want to test but also you can't do ilog in 4k single lens or 8k60 and the low light is supposedly pretty bad on the X5, but I think it'll get the job done!

What Do We Know About FW Atom?

Ive been riding XR and Pint for a few years now, and when my XR was “in the shop” and I was just riding my Pint, I found I really like how nimble it is. So that has me looking at the FW Atom, finger hovering over the early bird “order now” button. But I am hesitating because I do find the Pint size just a little small for me. The Atom says it has “wider footpads” but I’d really love to know the actual measurements, tip-to-tail and side-to-side, tire size, hub etc. im hoping it is more like a Growler in size/ride. I could wait for early reviews to come in I guess, but I’m not sure I can hold out!

Barefoot riding?

For context, I've always rode with proper gear and good shoes. Tonight was the first really hot day in northern New England, around 90 degrees. It was hot in my house because I haven't put the A/Cs in yet so decided to just hop on my pint x and explore the new development in my quiet neighborhood since they just paved it. Decided to ride barefoot. Holy crap was that such an amazing experience. Slow carving with such dramatic feedback was not what I was expecting. New obsession unlocked. Just wish my flat feet could keep up, but will definitely do it again.

Fangs are a must!

I installed some fangs and hadn't crashed with them on yet so I wasn't sure how good they were.

Finally took a real ride on my GT last night after a bad crash last august where I broke my cheekbone (Dirt and rocky trail, don't think I'll do that again) Have been terrified to get on it again since then and haven't travelled more than a block since.

Got a wild hair last night to give it a spin up on some local non busy roads and rode it with some more speed. While going up a hill I nose dived but my fangs gave me enough time to react and roll when I landed instead of getting immediately slammed. Gentlest crash on that thing ever and I don't think I'd ever ride another OW without them.

Is Thor 400-32s still the go to vesc controller for gts battery packs. Every time I check fungineers site it says they are sold out. Is there an alternative controller for 113v batteries.

I have a spare gts setup and would like to vesc it without breaking the bank. There are a couple concerns I have with thor 400 but it seems like the only controller that could work with the gts 113v battery. It also seems to be sold out all the time. I've checked the 1st of the month and the 15th but no luck. Are there any other alternatives that will work with a 113v battery pack?

XRC --> X7 Sport? Talk me out of it... or into it

I really enjoy my XRC that has over 700 miles now. It's definitely an improvement over the XR+ I had before. I ride mostly paved paths, and my usual top speed is around 19mph. I'm 155lbs and I haven't felt pushback or heard the haptic buzz so far. I do get worried that riding close to 20 may be in the danger zone. That's why I'm considering the X7 Sport. Does it make sense to upgrade? I wouldn't worry about riding near the limit anymore, but is that enough of a reason to buy a new board when this one has been flawless? Is there an adjustment getting used to the X7 rails vs straight? I'm almost 70, which makes me consider the crash more than I did 20 years ago. Help me out of my decision paralysis!

X10 or TFL WTF Steep N Deep BTG Rails?

Waiting for my Supercharged X7 to arrive which I ordered last month. I have since purchased both of these rails. Does anyone have any opinions on which will provide a better ride with a Thundercat BTG Tire?

Pint Battery / BMS

Back in March I recieved an older OW2114xxxxxx Pint (5313 hw and 5040 fw) with a known bad battery. The board had sat for at least 2 yrs, but I was able revive the battery and balance the cells enough to get it back riding.

They would balance to 62.6v (4.18 ea) but then 2 of the cells would lose voltage pretty quickly. Clearly 2-4 bad cells (last picture).

I was able to use this as an extra/driveway board for friends...but had to constantly rebalance the cells after each session...while also closely monitering battery temp to <130F.

After the latest rebalance, the board will show 62.6v and then immediately drop to 22.5v and die when unplugged...but individual cells still show 4.17+...

Battery is obviously shot and I would like to replace the battery w an OnlyAmps or Nexus to extend the range...but am worried the BMS may be shot too.

Any thoughts on how to bench test a BMS?

They seem hard to come by and I dont really want to buy a whole new FW pack for $300...rather go aftermarket battery and use my existing BMS, if possible.

Appreciate any help/experience.
