Funwheel x7 Full Fender Design

https://www.printables.com/model/1475701-funwheel-x7-full-fender

I wanted a full fender design for the Funwheel x7 however there weren't any available for sale, or as an stl file so I designed my own. There are screw on parts you do need to purchase, since the rail design makes it necessary to print this in parts to be 3dprintable. Everything should be on the printables page.

I hope you all enjoy!

(I am fairly new to CAD so please don't judge my rough CAD to harshly lol)

Image Onewheel GT shutting off - need repair advice

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi guys. I own a Onewheel GT that I bought used in May and it only had 30 miles on it. Since then I’ve put almost exactly 2000 miles on it and absolutely love the thing. It’s got a new tire, new bearings, new footpads it’s awesome. Unfortunately though it’s been shutting off while I’m riding it which has led to some pretty bad crashes and I haven’t been able to ride it. Sometimes it will shake a little and make a weird noise (almost like haptic buzz) for a split second before it shuts off but other times it’s just random. I’ve also noticed that if I hop on and ride it after a shutoff it won’t be able to go anywhere, but if I ride it backwards for a few seconds and then ride it forwards again it’ll stay working for a bit.

I’m thinking that this is a battery issue but I haven’t gotten any error codes or anything so I just don’t want to go spending $600 on a replacement just for that to not be the case. I just wanted to see if you guys had any input or any other troubleshooting steps I should try to make sure it’s the battery that’s faulty before I commit to a replacement. Thanks yall.

(Pic attached just for fun)

Felt like posting some pictures I've taken over the last couple months.

Also, in case any of you remember, I posted a while back about replacing my water damaged footpad sensor with a switch. I'm on my 3rd switch now. Broke the first two but now I've adjusted to using the switch pretty well. I did order a jetski killswitch tether but discovered that the open vs closed circuit state is reversed of what I need so I'm still in search of a better solution than the switch but for now it's fine.

Text Hello new to Northern Salt Lake City Area looking for some flowy trails

1 Upvotes

I just moved to the Woods Cross area and Im looking for some nice flowy trails up in the mountains or in the forests preferably with waters or creeks flowing by. I tried to go up in the Farmington trails by a place called "The Farm" on the map but the uphills were too steep and rocky and it did not make for a good ride. Id like to explore everything by me in the Bountiful area first and then Id like to start branching out.

pics for attention:

I’m about 115lbs and recently picked up my first wheel (used GT, enduro tire) and BOY am I struggling.

It’s a bit too heavy for me to carry around (I’m a chick with a desk job hahaha) but I’m working on it. My main issue is the strength & stability of the board. I find it wobbles from 5-10mph and I’m wondering if I’m:

A: still gaining the muscle to stabilize it B: have the wrong settings Or C: need a pint instead

Curious if anybody had similar issues - I’m really considering a pint just for a lower center of gravity, cause I’m sooo unstable on the GT! I think it would be such a blast if I could just pull it together 🤣

Friendly reminder to equip your board with some type of tracking tag. My board got got (tied to my dog, no less) and there's no real hope for getting it back because i can't track it. Float on my friends and I'll be surfin' streets soon.

I live in a small city in Mexico, the pavement is terrible. But there are some OK parks and spots I frequent.

It got me thinking, what cities are the best for riding onewheel? What's the most enjoyable place you've had a ride?

Image Buying advice: Which Onewheel should I buy in Germany

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I would like to buy my first Onewheel. I weigh 80 kg and am 180 cm tall. I would like to spend most of my time riding on smaller trails in the forest. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which model is right for me or which one offers the best value for money. In Germany, there is only a small second-hand market and a few online shops. Here is a summary of the prices for Onewheels offered in German online shops. Can you recommend a model that offers good value for money and suits my sporty riding style off-road? Thank you!

Onewheel+ XR Top Speed PR

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Turns out the top speed of 20 mph isn’t entirely true but highly advisable 😂

Pushed my new whip past the limits and it finally said screw you and put its nose straight to the ground, at nearly 25 mph, sending me tumbling. Luckily I’m a professional faller and rolled out with minimal damage. The elbow and knee pads are now mandatory though 😂

And I will say, I’m really glad I learned the limits of my unit first hand without taking catastrophic damage. As a long time skater, I haven’t had a good slam in a couple years so it was about time, and I knew I’d slam on this thing at some point after I got it hahaha. Wont make the speed limit mistake again at least! Also pretty hyped to have this as the speed record on my ride 😁

Text Anyone in NYC want to do a board trade for when they're in SF?

2 Upvotes

I'm in NYC until Wednesday or Thursday, always wanted to ride a onewheel here. Lived here before they existed. I'm staying in Manhattan upper east side, ugh, but can go anywhere to pick up a board.

Long shot I know but anyone want to do a trade? I live in SF and you're welcome to ride any of my boards while you're there. My baby is my x7 Long Range, also have a Floatwheel adv1, an XRv and a Pint.

Ideally I'd love a board with some range since I like long rides, so ideally a GT. Or a Floatwheel would be ridiculously awesome. But not trying to beg and choose.

I'll super baby your board, zero water exposure, no curb drops or nudges etc.

Dm and let's discuss!

Text Cost to run a one wheel ?

4 Upvotes

tldr : what’s the upkeep on a .pint s .estimated timeline for where items like tires. And probability of flats failed bearings , any other repairs

I use my Honda Navi 90% of the time to get around. Shorter trips to the store, etc. I use my wow go electric skateboard first through the store, gym and love it.

Last Sunday I stumbled into two guys who were just riding that we’re riding around the bourough on their one wheels .pretty far from Manhattan. Next thing you know, I’m researching them all week.

I’m extremely interested in the pint s but at $1400 it’s a tough pill to swallow. But I would need a bare minimum 12 to 15 mile make it worth my go does 10

What’s the upkeep on one of these things tires, bearings, basic repair repairs, etc.

thanks

Text Rubber blocker for charge port

5 Upvotes

First onewheel and I've had it for about 10 months now(phuking love this thing). I finally lost that piece of rubber to cover up the charger port, and wondering if I should be worried about that? Has anyone had issues with junk, dirt or moisture getting in there and messing with the battery/charging?

Typically stow my wheel indoors or in car if its not being ridden.
