Did you replace your rear pad and/or? I put one of those like... skateboard style ones on the back, might be changing what I'm doing to steer/the feel of it. Board control is for sure different. The only conscious change I ma

Thank you for the link. I hadn't heard of this, and I'm going to give it a try now!

2017. That last crypto boom. After that whole run we should have probably looked into more regulations.

And god forbid you have premade line juice. Roses is the absolute worst (and people keep bringing it to make daquaris), but the extra effort for fresh juiced is worth it.

You're not the first person I've heard that can spot repaints. Is there something obvious that gives them away or is it a more subtle distinction from the rest of the panels?

I used to have it bad, now only a little bit. You get used to it like anything else. I did a lot of dumb stuff to get it, just one trip won't cause it most likely.

That's a better way to put it. I tend to phrase it like I do because ideally your natural reaction should always be to lean back on the one wheel which for me in position ends up feeling like I'm standing one footed and pushing do

It's considered bad form to lean weight onto the front. You should have most of the weight on your back leg and push down with your front foot to accelerate. At least among the people I road with. If most of your weight is leaned backw

One Wheel in traffic isn't too bad. As long as you stick to lower speed (25 mph) roads. It's actually nice because it's super easy to go slow on a One Wheel if you have to hop on the sidewalk (bike lanes don't always wor

It is totally possible. Generally on a One Wheel if it's a small pebble or sidewalk crack you roll over it. If it's bigger and you jump while going over it normally the board will hit the crack or whatever and bounce up into your

I'm a former rider of a Onewheel XR. I stopped due to not wanting to end up in a hospital during covid. The nose diving thing has been known in rider groups for awhile. It's always been a sporadic issue though. Some caveats to One

It's remarkable how much easier it is to turn by tilting your ankles rather then your whole weight.

35 pound, that thing is heavy and solid, it's a missle when you crashed. One Wheel XR needed more indicator lights (what is my battery without the app), and a more audible feedback for a pushback. As another 200 lb guy, you could feel

This is a good call out. I didn't know what push back was at first. It's not as intuitive as you'd think, especially if you're towards the upper edge of the boards weight capacity. Keeping most of the weight on the back

The riders skew older then you think. I'd say the average rider I've met is about 35. Male dominated of courses. This is a toy. Very few people not working can afford a 1.5k-2k electric vehicle, especially when you can grab an esc

I've been on a bunch of these. They should regulate them all, in a consistent way across all states. One Wheels are unique in that they're a USA company that is pretty well known and has a very obvious failure mode. EUCs still suf

Glad you got them on wrist guards. I found that as long as the wrist guard was relatively easy to wear and didn't look hyper dorky people would wear it. I was using fingerless Hillbilly wrist guards, and they just look like fingerless

Been wanting to go over to an EUC. How have you found the transition. I have like 1.5k miles on a onewheel xr but switched to scooters after people I knew kept getting injured. Hate to say the scooter is... too safe but it's sorta just

US has this too for not peddling, in some states. In the US a class 2 is throttle only (no pedaling) hit 15. A class 3 is up to 25 as long as you're peddling.

You're probably right. I'm in Seattle and the street scooters all cap at 15, my personal one caps at 20. That 5mph is a surprisingly big difference.

by MivLives 4y ago
The training mode at 12 mph is there for a reason. I'm in the same boat as you, I've got 1k miles on mine (more!) when I sold it. Never got seriously injured, and hadn't really crashed since the beginning. It was all the stor

The other thing is someone on a pedal bike hitting 20+ is generally doing it in an area that can handle it. An ebike you can get to 20 plus in half a block.

by MivLives 4y ago
Honestly I think the cap most people can handle is 15. After that is when things start getting much harder to deal with.

A lot of the older guys I've seen on these are generally wearing motorcycle pads under their jackets/other clothing. Even doing it as a 27 year old I hit the ground going twenty, I was sore for a week plus afterwards. I hit the gr

That split second could be all I need to jump for grass instead of pavement. I've seen people intentionally ride the nose so it's likely something that they should just integrate into the thing.

Glad the newer ones are more aggressive. I've pushed an XR to 24 on flat and at that point you're just using your own balance and praying nothing is in the road. This whole nosedive thing where "Is this Future Motion Fault or

This is a good point. Though I can't help but wondering if this is a take by an older person or least an older way of thinking about things. Stuff like snapchat, or the stories feature is closer to what a lot of people want. Most peopl

If you are one of these companies, you're the reason I could even get into this space! The company I ended up working for basically would stick 10-15 potential Junior engineers (majority from bootcamps) in a room for 2 months and give
