@notsure said in Why do different ppl buy onewheels n stuff?:

thats increasingly more commonplace cuz of doomsday machines advertising platforms like facebook n twitter. 'one size fits all' really only applies to ball caps n ponchos these days. gotta know ur demo.

I'm afraid much of it is that people don't realize or plain forget the ads they see are personalized. Some believe everyone sees what they see and that's just not the case.

Most of my advertising comes from YouTube but I'm well aware it's bubble advertising. Chainsaws, Onewheels, Tools...Everyone loves that stuff, right? lol

@lia i've noticed some trouble with the app lately -- i much prefer the original version i had where i could track my rides myself. now the new app seems to not connect or notice i'm even riding, so i miss parts of my ride, which is kind of a bummer. but it's a minor issue, and part of me wonders if it's because i'm using an OG Pint, and the app is optimized for the newer models, i'm sure.

@s-leon said in OW Plus CnR:

And @Lia has been patiently riding and waiting for her restoration to the XR Daystreak Leaderboard

I said I'd be back and I'm keeping to that promise :)
That said I'm probably going to visit @cheppy44 some time next year so it might end unless I bring Slush's controller with me and find an XR frame to drop her into.

@notsure My 4208 doesn’t do this but I think it’s normal on the newer models to help indicate to the user why the board has disabled itself. If it did it without it being turned on then that would be odd and maybe a sign something is up.

E21 when no charger is connected is the biggest concern but if it’s only when charging while powered on I think your board is fine :)

WOW new beast!Like a lot!GT sux,too heayv

@lia said in New XR!!!!:

TLDW; XRC modules will fit in GT rails but you won't fit a GT battery box in the XRC rails. Controller module will fit regardless.

Diffrence:battry& rails
You made battery box for GT,rigth?Made 4 XR Classc! Would take 20 min 4you!

,has same lid,proly same led window,just shallower.

@lia said in GTR vs GT6. 0:

@ed_co Best option for a lower price would be to just split out the cables into the 3 high current phases and the individual hall/temp wires to dedicated ports like the V1/Plus/XR.

It's a shame there isn't a 3+6 pin varient of AMASS's AS120 connector. It's a 2+4 pin arrangement. Power pins do 80-120a which would be hype if they had one with the extra pins.

This was exactly the one I sent to MacIack, when we were trying to find alternatives. Both MR-60 and MT-60

@seabass The rewheel discord may be able to help.

@puzz360 It's getting to be too cold for me to ride here, so i haven't been on my board in weeks (i've also been stupidly busy), which is to say that i didn't do the haptic update on my Pint until last week. Took it for a final ride this past weekend to get the battery into the 50% range for storing over the winter, and everything worked fine. i never managed to feel the buzz, but i wasn't pushing it either.

since it deep in snowbo season right now, i just wanted to drop in and comment that i am a total spead freak on the snowboard, but i don't really push past 16mph on the onewheel. maybe go a little crazier on dirt trails, but pavement, hell no. snowboards won't turn off on you like the onewheel! fuck that

@lia said in New GT Firmware:

Wonder if that was for genuine safety or to try encourage others since they're usually not wearing a head bucket.

they also demonstrated their skateboarding skills. "u might think u can onewheel, but can u skateboard without a computer to aid you?"

i can barely use my bongo board now lol.

@sirgu wow, thanks for this thorough post. all things i hadn't considered, particularly the wee bit of extra momentum needed on curbs. makes sense!

@bulletxtime That's balanced enough. There is a little cell degradation since they should peak at 4.2 but that's expected for an old used battery so I'd say that's good to ride! :)

@lia said in Share your float playlist <3:

@loaffette No worries, I was just as guilty :)

lol if those constitute as "guilty", then i should be in the Hague!

@biell good thing to note!

@blkdout well i mean at this point, theyre no longer mint condition first production run thunder rails. prob 20 of them in the world.

@biell thanks. I think I had a bit of a panic about nothing. Nothing has got caught in the gap and the tyre isn't touching it even at speed or over bumps.

@lia -- Great line-up! -- And a nice variety of tires, too.

I come from labour working class where not much of wealth is inherited and plenty of alike slowly diminish their few existing goals and blurry their dreams with other habits. So... close people and some of not-so-close but yet seen me growing within past 20-30yrs are like: What? .. okay .. at least he's not drinking, smoking and burning life.

My hyper-active local sports legend 77y mother is rather cool about it - she knows I've always been into "unordinary" tech stuff.

I got tons of colleagues and .. idk how .. I've not necessarily tried to keep it as a secret nor avoid contacts while on OW, but somehow I've managed to hold a low profile about it. Some few know by randomly bumping into (and were astounded, obviously) but the real blabbermouths likely have no idea. The thrill would be real at some. As commuting to work on 4-wheels is my occupational unavoidable routine, I'm liking this unawareness till it lasts. But this is only my second season on XR.

Out of all forum members here I might(?) be at the easternmost point [The Baltics]. Don't know. But you guys can imagine - there's no way you could go for ~1h ride here without feeling inquiring looks or hearing comments at any age group. Probably we have less onewheels than any state of US. Registrated, organized grouprides are not happening around here. :)

@wheelngear neat!
