The Onewheel Podcast
-
FM kept their word :) Episode 2 of the podcast is out.
This month joining Kyle and Jack is RFTR 2022 Champions Racheal Cecil and Kyle Hanson.

@lia is it really a "podcast" if it's on youtube? not sure what else they could call it, but to me it's like calling a TV show a podcast when the term refers to audio content. anyway, looking forward to watching this.

@franko TBH I'm glad it's on YT. Shows up in my feed where I get all my other content. I'd hate to return to the days of essentially channel surfing to find stuff but with apps and websites instead.
Fortunately the video part of the podcast isn't important so you can just listen in another tab.

I'm not big into podcasts but if it's also on YT, I would still consider it to be. Video is just an avenue for a wider audience. I started listening to the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia podcast and they call their listeners, "Listeners" and the people who watch "Creeps" because creeps like to watch lol. If you know the show, you know.
Anyway, TFL just released their first podcast and it wasn't bad. I'm mostly interested in new products but the rest of the content was also good. One point of interest was they mentioned plans for TEN new tires! I assume 3 for each size (Pint, XR and GT) and a bonus tire for another thing they mentioned. If anyone's interested:

Another podcast, this time featuring Jimmy Chang as teased when they initially started the podcast.
Haven't finished it yet myself but so far it seems pretty decent. Over an hour long so should be good for a long drive if you have one planned. -
@lia huh. i thought Jimmy Chang traded in his OneWheel for an EUC, but i haven't kept up with him lately.

@franko There's so much OW content I barely keep up anymore tbh so I'm in the same boat. Jimmy and his family still ride Onewheels but he's mostly EUC at the moment.
During this one Jimmy suggests to the FM boys to maybe consider making an EUC while asking them what they had in mind for future projects.
-
@lia i'm sure they don't tell him, but i'm intrigued to hear what they DO say, haha.
smart of them to be inviting the big OW youtubers as guests. Wonder if they'll have Scott Mendenhall (sp?) on. i liked him early on, but i've kind of moved on. I liked his enthusiasm, but after awhile it started to feel like too much for me.

@franko No promises as usual but being an unscripted podcast I can't say I'm surprised, last thing you want to do is be held to an of the cuff comment. I would be interested to see if FM brought anything new to the table with their own EUC.
Jimmy mentioned he believes the QC and app quality far exceeds that of most if not all other PEVs (namely those from China) that he's ever used. Can't speak from experience but curious how that statement stacks up with other PEV enthusiasts.
FM seemed very pleased with the statement as they cut that segment specifically and uploaded it as a short.
I mean compared to some things I've seen it's pretty spot on. For all the issues FM does actually attempt to keep the product in spec and built well. The 4210 controller PCB revision was a welcomed improvement outside of it being serialised. No more busted sensor ports which I've personally had to repair 3 of in 4 years on the older gens. -
@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.
