Followup to the Onewheel XS

Final stretch, got those pesky cable clips done. Did you know these are both my least favourite thing on the OG boards and the half scale. Yes even frustration translates.
Also figured it might be fun to make that side stand just for fun. Will make the base out of actual wood but for testing this actually came out pretty good. Haven't cast the rubber grippers that sit in the holder but as is it works just like the real stand.
All assembled it was time to tune it. I spent a bit of time with the programming tether connected. Eventually I sat it on some tire replicas since it was gonna take off otherwise.
But er... well nothing left to say other than
It's dooone!
I've poked FM on insta with my post to see if they wanna come see it. Like the event is not that far from their HQ so hopefully they swing by. I think that'd be cool 🥰
I have tried to ride it with my full weight but she's not strong enough for me. However she does have a stupid amount of torque still. I had to set the p value to just 0.5 else she's just rocket away.

@lia Absolute work of art! If we ever get a one wheel museum, your XS build belongs in it. I love the "Onewheel -" branding you have on it, if it had a code name, it could be the "Minus".
-
@biell Thank you 🥰 I'd be honoured if that were to become a thing.
The minus was a fun little touch. Glad you noticed it 😊 -
@lia That is crazy beautiful!!
-
@lemur I know right 😊 Hopefully I'll get some cool pics and vids in a few weeks of people having a go with it.

@sirgu I may or may not be at the HQ tomorrow but I’ll defo share when I get back 🥰 Been so busy I’ve barely been able to check in on anything 😅
-
We did make it to the HQ and it was wild. I’m utterly tired and hella sunburnt (forgot suncream 💀) but I’ll do like an ama thread or something soon plus add some pics of stuff I can probs share.
FYI they’re actually all really cool guys 🥰
-
Awesome!
If Bodhi does not reflect some bit of it in next 'FIRST FRIDAYS' episode, then I really don't know what does! -

A company of Onewheel enthusiast engineers, whatever would you have to talk about 🤔
Remember that most companies, even the ones we disagree with vehemently, are filled with good people just trying to do the best they can to make their piece of the world as good as it can be. We can be upset with those at the top, but the rank-and-file are usually good people who deserve the same love and respect we would give to anyone.

@Lia your board got mentioned in a YT short by FM
https://youtube.com/shorts/kXovalmThbI?si=U2Fnk-DW3ia9rkLj113 volts?! I could lick that!
-
@Lia Wow! 🤯🤯🤯 I haven't been here a while, but spotting this short on YT has blown my brain. Had to log in for the full story.
Congratulations on the success, full respect to you. -
