r/onewheel

I have been considering getting this for some time. I recognize that it is quite rare to find one locally, with essentially no retailers carrying it here. Still, do you know any active Malaysian Onewheelers? I would also like to know how shipping to Malaysia works. I am aware that Malaysian law restricts riding it publicly, but I am simply curious.
Quick Google search brings me nowhere.

I'm considering buying a Onewheel, but I constantly see wipeout posts (mostly on my FB feed) of people getting injured. Breaking bones, needing surgery, etc. Ones that concern me especially are the ones that say they knew about board pushback but - for whatever reason - they didn't get pushback before the nosedive.

So my question is, is it pretty much inevitable to have a nosedive crash at some point in one's onewheeling life, even if you're careful and aware of pushback?

Has anyone who has been riding for a while successfully avoided it? If so, what are your techniques for doing so?

One of my neighbors is in his early 40s, drives a fancy German sports sedan, and seems to always be on his way to the golf course by the way he's dressed. One day he says out loud, as I'm OneWheeling by his driveway to the community mailbox, "Aren't you a little old to be riding one of those?"

I am old, like deep in my 50s old, so I turn around and without blinking shoot back, "Aren't you a little stupid to be talking?" Which came out way harsher than I intended. He gives a weak laugh, I give a weak laugh, which makes it worse, and I think really hard for a few seconds how to make this less awkward and apologetically say, "Hey, man, sorry about that stupid comment... When I ride, I feel like a thirteen-year-old and thirteen-year-old me was quite the asshat. I'm sorry about that."

With a weak smile, he gets in his car and says, "Ya, no problem," unconvincingly.

My question is... how many days, weeks, or months do I wait before I leave a flaming bag of dog poop on his porch? Kidding!

I bought the Sidewinder motor from TFL to use with the x7 powertrain, but the cable is too long to use on stock XR rails. Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to shorten the cable?

Hey friends - I’ve been riding Onewheels for about 6 years. I’m on my 7th board and probably around 50-60k total miles. I think I’m ready for my first non-FM board. Can y’all please recommend what would be best on my requirements here?

1. Needs to be plug and play. I hate tinkering. I don’t mind initial set up but I don’t have much free time and I’d rather be riding than fixing my board. I’m more of a rider than a gear head. Can’t break down too often. I try locally get around 10k miles out of a board and would hope for something similar.

2. Flat footpads. I love the feel of the original XR footpads. I ride 50-100 miles a day and concave is not comfortable.

3. Flight fins system. I love my fins and the board needs to be compatable.

4. Long range. I typically ride 25-30 miles at a time.

5. Tire. I love the maxxis 5.5-6. Carvy treaded tires are for me. Do any boards come with something like that stock?

So that’s it. Is there an out of the box VESC board that would meet these requirements?

I watched a video from Float Life and they made it look super simple. I successfully removed all the other screws, but these four bolts on the side are impossible to remove. What I haven't tried yet is a hatchet wrench, but others have suggested a breaker bar. I'm very worried about stripping the bolts. Also disappointed that I haven't seen anyone else with this issue *that successfully managed to remove them*.

How much of learning curve is there, really. Is there much more to it then adjusting endless sliders? Is there any actual coding or more complicated alignment procedures that are dangerous if done incorrectly?

ever since i got an XRC i notice that at speed i often get blasted with very loud wind noise. airpods dont really help, sometimes even making it worse. i have a full face helmet but it feels overkill for some of these quick errands i'm running. how are you all cutting that wind noise?

I have a gt and my charger broke a few days ago. I have since found a hyper charger for sale for 75 dollars. the home charger is 110 brand new. should I pay extra for a worse charger I have read that the hyper charger is not good for the battery and it would be my only charger if I bought it.

Also if anyone has a home charger theyd like to sell for cheaper I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thank you and have a great day.
