from atop the OneDanXR
Apr 8, 2020 . . . same board ;)

The OneDanXR next to an official turtle nesting area. Actually, I have witnessed a couple different kinds of turtles scooping the gravel of the old railroad bed and laying leathery turtle eggs at various places along the Greenway -- but this is the first official notice of it I have seen. -
I am starting to think about adding a VnR connection to the OneDanXR. I have a couple of CarvePower boosters; I need to test and find the best one to boost an EGO battery up to XR voltage. A range longer than eight or nine miles would feel much better. Of course, besides piecing the system together I would have to mount it somehow -- like maybe on a wooden fender platform, or on a beat-up plastic fender. Anyhow, I am thinking in the direction of longer range and more ride time at 22 mph or so.
-
@s-leon I second the VnR :)
Loving the evolution of the board so far~ -

In this photo the OneDanXR is for comparison -- having just rebuilt my Leaderboard Plus now again with Skyjacker rails shimmed up on Ignite Lift. The sixteen mile test ride felt glorious! The top edge of the OneDanXR rails is very close to six and a quarter inches -- the bottom edge of the Skyjacker rails is six inches. (In the photo OneDanXR is a bit nose down, and A Dark Horse is a bit nose up.) At the center hub the top edge of the Skyjacker rails is eight full inches up from the pavement! Part of that height is due to an oversized Hoosier tire. Feels some kind of wonderful to me! The new bearings caress and smooth that feeling. And yes, the 10ah EGO battery slides in on top of the wooden fender, placed well forward (note extra wooden support jutting out over the footpad there), and gets strapped tight with a second ratchet fastener.
-
@s-leon For a second I mistook this as you managing to combine both boards into train like configuration.
Still love the look of your Plus, it's a work of art that functions! -
So far, in a few more than one hundred days with the OneDanXR I have logged more than one thousand miles -- up to number 67 on the XR Daystreak, and number 79 in combined mileage... Edit: One day later -- up to number 66 on the XR Daystreak, and number 78 in combined mileage.

I don't quite remember myself ever asking - @S-Leon , have you made any stator cable modifications on your 'Dark Horse' lifted Plus? Ignite Lift kit + lowered holes on Skyjacker rails = quite of a shift from the usual cable placement. How did you managed to work around oversized tire without rubbing into wire harness?
-
@sirgu -- Good question. No battery = no battery cable and no BMS lines. Without the cable clip the stator cables seem to fit fine. Of course, mostly I ride smooth pavement -- no stresses from rough terrain... And, oh yes! The huge height feels heavenly!
-
Well, I Ignite-lifted the OneDanXR -- and it is now starting to look a little funky. Next up will likely be a heavy and solid fender/battery platform. With the Greenway long -- and seemingly endless -- in a series of large clean puddles from several inches of rain and wet weather I should also check the susceptibility of the controller box and battery box to moisture. I found an XR motor with new bearings and a new Hoosier 5.5 tire -- which is now coming for whichever Onewheel might happen to need it first.
-
With the OneDanXR today I moved up to number 49 on the XR Daystreak -- likely a few Florida riders may have ended their streaks due to recent Hurricane Ian.
The "lifted" feel of the ride is wonderful -- but I miss the Mag Handle which had been nice and handy!

For your love of high-lifted ride. I hope you didn't missed out that post @FB couple of weeks ago ::

@sirgu i saw it. pretty cool! needs a kickstand tho lol.
XR's got what plants crave!

@sirgu -- Yes! I had seen the photos, but not the video until now. I would ride a Onewheel lifted like that -- probably everyday for thousands of miles -- it looks very rideable. The rails are shortened, probably for the reach of the motor cable. My EGO battery would fit nicely between the footpads. @Lia -- This does look like a Pint with the blue LED of engagement at the back of the from footpad. Personally, I would carry a mounting block with me everywhere.
-
@notsure -- Instead of a kickstand how about a short hand-leash on the mounting block. As designed and built the board looks like an industrial caster. I would lengthen the rails in back, maybe a lot, and add freewheel brakes.
-
I kinda like the idea of a kickstand that self retracts upon take off. Can't kick it down to stop though. Also like the idea of a block on a leash but hate the idea of carrying it lol. ...Agreed longer rails are necessary.
Being such a purpose built design though, I would build a purpose built box for it. Like a step that doubles as a landing/starting pad with storage.
-
Well, on the OneDanXR I got up to number 40 on the XR Daystreak (and number 68 in combined mileage) -- but the weather was so wet, so snowy mixed with the rain, that I did not ride any Onewheel today. It will be fun to see where I come in tomorrow -- or the next time I ride.
-
A month later, with one mile logged today, the OneDanXR came in at number 1858 on the XR Daystreak. After eight miles the number was 1057. Later still, the number was a hundred higher. So, I figure there must be about a thousand dedicated Daystreak riders with two days or more, and almost another thousand casual weekend riders -- both thousands ignoring the call to abandon ship (stop riding Onewheels).
