Go annoy the shit out of Adoah on the OW discord, he's pretty responsive there, along with datboig, they're both pretty involved with the coding for OWIE. Also Adoah's fork of it has quite a few things worked in like locking the board too.
Unlike the OW mods, he's somewhat knowledgeable/competent for some specific OW things.
@ed_co yup i saw that video. id like to travel and onewheel while there. i just don't see many rental outfitters in tourist areas investing a lot into onewheels for the rental opportunity. its a niche pursuit for sure. perhaps national outfitters that lease them to local rental outfits?? thats an interesting notion but the obvious alternative is bringing a ow with you.
i have always thought the Pint would have been a wild success if it was the first or only onewheel to accept extensible charge options. a vnr friendly onewheel of sorts. it goes slower, its smaller, it has a stock range of 4-5 miles. it can't really compete with the other models, but its FAA TSA approved for the travel industry, and bc the range is extensible, it effectively has unlimited range... it fucking markets itself imo! everyone would have one! but what do i know, right? i didnt go to stanford.
@angusofstockholm -- I used to use Microsoft Access database quite a bit a few years ago. I am going to have to look at the link you offer -- because I much prefer databases to spreadsheets!
Welp, my conclusion. It’s a whole different riding experience. It’s what I expected the XR to be in the first place, having come from the OG Pint. It now has a solid, responsive, confident power that it lacked before, with the option to dial it back from there if desired.
Having seen the GT reviews now, riding a Badgered VnR’d XR seems exactly right for me. Big deck, good speed, long range, generous power, mellow pushback.
@biell Good one! A durometer would clarify a lot already, usually dont need one o those. But yea, that's a pretty plausible thought. I guess they d buy quantities like that.
@lemur So far im able to ride 50km in one go (cbxr) without any issues so fatigue is no problem yet. Weirdly enough riding WTF rails in mission (bit nose-down) even increased the comfort level more. But it must be a sweet sensation having an enhanced floaty feeling. I would certainly miss the connection with board and terrain i think. Still will try a suspension board as soon as i get the chance!
@sirgu
Oh dang! I watched that vid but missed the single sensor part coz i got pissed off by how he was slamming on the stock pad like an ape. This vid is very stupid tbh.
Edit: I dont like posi either tbh. The dual pad is about the only fail-safe we have and im no trickster.
@lemur i dunno. polished doesn't always mean better.
i think i like the aesthetics on that better than the killguards tbh. i find them a bit bulky, especially the 6.5 version. n the 5.5 look like they might not have a ton of travel before the cross member touches the tire.
but as u pointed out, suspension squat may be an issue.

@lemur That sounds like this board then, nice work tracking that down.
Edit: As typing this DPD showed up with the parcel, that was dan quick! Will make it’s own thread later and take a look :)
@notsure try again, looks like I only allowed .gif when doing pic links.
@b0ardski . Definitely won't cost much to modify a rear footpad. I've been using a modified 4 sensor XR rear footpad as a front for a while, never had a mount of shame or ghosting problem and the type of shoe made no difference.
