Thought I would join the party for a minute and make it 5 for 5.

Happened to me last night. Totally zoned out. When I finally checked the app I was out of battery. 2 hours felt like 15 minutes.

Oof. Something that hopefully happens only once lol. I usually look for a hook to hang it on.

noooo.....

@s-leon I've only ever had 1 app error a few years back, no idea what caused it.

@s-leon very cool! hope it works out for you :)

@loaffette Rose sounds like a good name, also easy enough to theme the board after. Bet it'd look real good with some red and black bang bumpers.

Not sure if you have to ask for the certain colour mixes since I can't find one on the dropdown to choose that version on the image carousel.

I stopped wearing gloves at about 40 degrees, and use wind resistant mittens.

I use em for snowboarding.

Reading this made me think of this guy I follow on YT…

In the app for my V1 battery percentage I got a huge negative number yesterday: " -25,136%"

@s-leon that is weird!

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. :)

"Well, aren't you the-man-from-Mars." -- A comment from an older lady walking her dog, about me in my safety gear -- an unexpected sight Onewheeling an out-of-the-way, woodsy gravel trail in a park called Hogback Ridge.

Auh! My lanky young man, Onewheel neighbor Matthew is moving! He got a desirable job in Michigan. I saw his mom today, Christmas Day, on the Greenway, walking his dog Graham Cracker, and we talked a bit. She expects (hopes) he will be back here in a year, but he couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Cheryl had told me once that she wanted to try Matthew's Onewheel... Matthew would not let her for fear she might get hurt. Maybe I could invite her to pad up and learn on one of mine while he is gone.

And Graham Cracker? It's still up-in-the-air uncertain whether the well-tempered and friendly-four-year-old dog goes out-of-state with Matthew, or stays snug at home with Matthew's mom, Cheryl.

@yommoto -- Through the woods and farm fields on the Western Reserve Greenway Trail in Ashtabula County.
Not really anywhere near Akron.

My thought measure on these things:

The new V1 footpads are a museum piece -- and as such would be up for one-of-a-kind negotiation with an entry level 'bid' of the price of any Onewheel sensor footpads, which I think is about $150.

The new V1 bumpers are more common, as an extra set came in the original box. $25-$35

The cheapest Onewheel motor I ever remember seeing was $150, and the rim was trashed! I am guessing that even with high mileage a good working V1 motor could fetch $200-$250 or more.

The motor comparison is interesting. The same hubs, or rotors, right? The same new bearings and installation costs. So, no matter what those costs were, they negate each other. In this case the SAME skilled rider/repair did both installations. The stator is the difference.

If the motor with the damaged/scored stator lasts the couple thousand Greenway miles that a titan in the Onewheel repair community says it should -- that's about time for a bearing change anyway. With that next bearing change would also come a stator change.
Stators from XRs should become plentiful and relatively inexpensive as riders use their XR hubs to replace GT hubs in order to use XR tires. A highly respected rider and Onewheel community analyst commented on Facebook that XR stators would probably soon be selling in the $100-$150 range.

So, how many more bearing changes would the XR motor with the non-scored, non-damaged stator be good for? Five? Ten? Twenty? As many as gets the board to the XR mileage Leaderboard?
If that good stator cost $150 and is projected to last at least ten times longer than the scored stator, then the scored stator is worth maybe $15 or less. Which means that the difference in price between the two motors based solely on the hardware should be at least $135 -- but not really more than $150.

In my opinion then, in a trade of the XR motor with new bearings and the SCORED/DAMAGED stator for an XR motor with new bearings and a non-scored GOOD stator, the value of the new footpads and bumpers alone should cover the value difference between the two motors. The extra V1 motor should not be needed to be included in the trade.

The situation is this: The same rider/repair who installed both sets of bearings desires the pristine V1 footpads in my possession, while I desire a worry-free, clearly good XR motor. He thinks I should include the V1 motor in the trade deal on top of the footpads and bumpers; I think not. Again, I want to trade back to him a motor he worked on in exchange for another he worked on, with the V1 footpads and bumpers making up the difference.

What do you think -- if you got this far?
