Onewheel

Jeff from The Float Life pushes it over 40MPH on a VESC'd OneWheel.

Float life takes the custom onewheel mod board for an endurance ride and pushes it out to 32 miles without turning it off, or charging it.

Dude in Australia heavily modified a GT-S with a 24s2p battery to run at just over 100v, but way more power to push it faster and further.

Jeff at the Float Life shows the board can freewheel at 64mph (over 100kph!!!), and he personally rides it at about 37mph before deciding it's a bad idea to run it any faster.

Interesting custom build.

Just heard news of the new Onewheel. Some cool stuff like 25mph limit now, much higher torque and voltage, comes with the performance tire by default, lower footpads. All good stuff, except it costs 3200$, that's insane. How do you all feel about it, seems like a fine board, but insanely overpriced.

The Float Life tries out the new GT firmware and are unimpressed.

Curious what others experiences are here, because they're going to be looking at it from a perspective of a group of people who push the limits and understand how to deal with the consequences. How would a regular user who uses it as daily transportation see the update?

I can't choose!

Hey, Folks! Figured I'd add to the startup of the community by sharing an ongoing project of mine that I've been working on. This is a VESC-based board, featuring a Spintend Ubox 100v VESC, a Fungineers' Super Flux Motor, and a 20s2p battery from The Board Garage. It has taken me a while to finally get around to putting the thing together, but it now works and is by far the most stoke enducing board I own! 🤙

Greetings fellow Onewheel enthusiasts!

Welcome to /c/Onewheel on Lemmy, a new hub for our thriving and passionate Onewheel community.

Recently, as some of you may be aware, Reddit made some significant changes to their API which has greatly impacted third-party apps, accessibility, and moderation tools, prompting me to look for a more inclusive, open, and sustainable platform.
