My Short Experience Owning a OneWheel XR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2024
- If you've been considering getting OneWheel, OneWheel Plus, or OneWheel Plus XR then this video is for you. I was super excited to get my own OneWheel + XR. I used it for several hours the day I got it. I got in over my head and rode it longer than I should have that first day. Here is my experience from unboxing and the first ride, to after the crash. I also installed a carbon fender on it before I crashed it. Consider watching this before you buy a OneWheel Pint or OneWheel+ XR.

I’m 57. I watched a lot of videos and researched what to do and what not to do while waiting for my Onewheel. After reading about all the mishaps, I gained respect for the board and it’s limitations. I wear full safety gear and don’t go for speed records. I enjoy just cruising and carving. I haven’t had a spill yet. I’ve owned my board for a month and a half now.
I wish that I had done the same. I watched a few videos, but not nearly enough. I and I certainly didn't watch any about people crashing. If I had, I think I might have been more cautious. It sounds like you are progressing well on your OneWheel journey! Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already. I am really trying to grow this channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark and beyond! Have a GREAT weekend!
My onewheel pint is garbage. It will nosedive with no pushback at 9 mph. Which is stupid if you can only go 4-5 mph the whole time
@@boneyard31 Wow! Good to know that about the OneWheel Pint! I haven't bought another OneWheel + XR yet. I miss it, but I don't trust the combo of them + me.
I got hurt in the beginning too, I’m 60. Lucky, no ACL tear, cracked bone in my knee. Could not wait to try again!! Got back on two months ago, learned from the ground up, on grass. Stayed on the grass until I could do laps, and dismount by jumping off. Two months later, and almost 300 miles.......loving it. To date 12.3 mph is my high speed. I’m not willing to go faster then I am willing to fall. It takes time to learn. Btw-they make padded shorts, I never leave home without them.
I'm so glad that you didn't get hurt too bad and that you are still enjoying your OneWheel! The padded shorts are a GREAT idea! :-)
Great honest share. Onewheels are like owning reptiles and motorcycles, as soon as you get too confident and or lose respect they will bite you
My pleasure! Well said! The OneWheel is awesome, but it definitely deserves respect! Thanks for watching & please consider subscribing. I am REALLY trying to grow my channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark. Thank you SO much!!
Speed is your friend when starting to get going. Slow speeds are vulnerable for wobbles but once moving then it becomes easier. Just remember to look where you want to go and avoid looking down. You look down, you will fall or tend to lose your balance. Other than that, thanks for posting. Happy floating! 🤙🏼
Thanks for the comment! That makes sense. I guess riding a OneWheel is like riding a bike in that sense. Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already. That will really help me to grow the channel to that critical 1,000 subscriber mark! Thank you so much!
it really is a great fun machine, sorry that you get hurt, i have mine since last december and i haven't yet had any major accident.
i hope you are ok now. thanks for the video.
Thank you SO much!! And thanks for watching & please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I am REALLY trying to grow my channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark. I'm SO glad that you haven't had any major accidents yet. The OneWheels really are amazing machines!
Sorry to hear man!
That’s all it takes is one unexpected experiences to completely change ones mind. I have a pint and just turned 193 miles on it. I too had a crazy fall that to me, should’ve happened and my shoulder hurt for a good month. I’m still riding though “Floating actually” and love it. Take care and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! It's so cool that you have got it down now & are "floating"!! Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already. That will really help me to grow the channel to that critical 1,000 subscriber mark! Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m in a similar situation now. 63 years old and 107 miles on my pint. It is addicting but have had three nasty nose dives that has quelled my enthusiasm. All three I blame my disrespect for the board. Uphill in the wrong mode, eye off the road and didn’t see a small speed bump, and very low battery while carving have bruised me up pretty bad. All while wearing palm guards, helmet, and elbow pads. I’m pretty banged up after the last fall, same hip bruising as you and sore shoulder. No doctor visit yet. Just can’t come to selling though. In a state of indecision.
I'm so glad that you haven't been hurt too bad yet! Yeah, selling my OneWheel XR was one of the hardest things that I have had to do in a while for sure! I'm gonna go ahead and say that you should probably sell it! Chalk it up as that you have had your fun with it. As we get older it gets harder and harder to recover from those falls. You & I both were probably lucky that we aren't going to have lasting problems from our falls off of our OneWheels! Whatever you decide, I wish you the best, and thanks for watching & please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I am REALLY trying to grow my channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark. Thank you SO much!!
J Stephen Wilson is all about safety. Don’t speed and wear safety gear and you will be just fine. Don’t get discouraged keep your ONEWHEEL take care and stay healthy. 🤙🏻🇺🇸
@Lex Turner Thanks for the comment! You too! OneWheels ARE a lot of FUN!!
@@ScoutMountainRanch Excellent info! Thank you SO much for sharing about your experience with the OneWheel!! :-) Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I am REALLY trying to grow my channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark. Thank you SO much!!
@@ScoutMountainRanch Even with your style of riding (and mine for the most!), care must be giving to low battery charge when carving. At 200lbs, and with low battery ( less than 30% and critical under 20%...I use an Apple watch for data info) I believe much caution needs to be taken to make sure the board can keep us upright, paying attention to the foot stance on the board, not leaning forward, etc to prevent a dive forward. Just my two cents worth.....btw....still nursing a very sore hip and shoulder....will be back on next week.
I'm 57 and have about 15 miles on my OW on several rides over 2 weeks. I certainly understand where you're coming from. Only problem I've had is the dismount. After several mishaps I just gently hop off with both feet, no problem. I will add that flat bottom shoes like Vans made a big difference. I only go about 6 miles an hour carving a little. I have to admit it's a little scary at times, maybe that's why it's so much fun. I'm keeping mine for now. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you for your comment. My pleasure! Yeah, I had a blast on my OneWheel XR for sure! Another recent comment mentioned padded shorts which I think would be a good thing! Take care!
Wondering what mode you were in? If you were still on the first beginner modes (Sequoia, Cruz) those are sensitive to exceeding the speed limiter and definitely will nose dive if you exceed it. I changed mines to Mission and sometimes Delirium after a week since researching and finding out a lot of accidents were people exceeding the thresholds of the 2 beginners modes. I’m glad you recovered and thanks for the honest video.
I honestly don't remember now for sure, but looking back at a screenshot I have of my OneWheel app, it shows that it was in the "Sequoia" mode. Wow, I wish I had known that earlier! Thank you for the comments! Good luck on your OneWheel adventures! :-)
@@HodgeHub yes Sequoia will definitely eject a big guy like you without warning.
5 Rules to Ride Nosedive-free
1) Set your digital shaping to Mission or Delirium
Sequoia and Cruz are not worth using. Pushback occurs much quicker and these settings are not meant to go fast. Custom shaping is also viable option, however we noticed more surging while riding uphill in custom shaping settings.
Google
Nosedives: The mechanics behind them and how to ride nosedive-free
That is GREAT information! Thank you so much for sharing it! Hopefully, that can help some other OneWheel owners as well!
I nosedived on day 4. No warning at 12mph, it just slammed the nose to pavement and flung me 20 feet forward. Displaced and minor fracture of the left radial head (elbow injury) and broken finger, sore back and sore left rib cage. Going to see a specialist tomorrow. It seems the issue and a big problem of the onewheel would be it’s unpredictable sudden stops, lack to no push back. They (Onewheel) say there is push back to warn you but reading many many many other testimony’s , it is rapidly becoming obvious that this safety mechanism clearly is a fail. My vacuum cleaner has better safety bells and whistles and is 31 years old!!!. I did order fangs, not the little cheap ones but large wheels from a company in PA. I’m still riding very slow and cautious with a broken elbow because, i am stubborn and let’s face it , actual is awesome to ride, i love it, but the safety nosedive issue is clearly causing serious injury’s and putting the Onewheel in question, not to forget the stress and concern families and loved ones have to endure. I can only assume many young men working at Onewheel lack maturity, experience and importance towards a safety culture . This will probably be the downfall of Onewheel (cross my fingers this will not be the case).
Thanks for sharing your story.
From an individual blunt random dude
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your experience with OneWheel!! That behavior from the OneWheel is exactly what I experienced. I was just going along in a straight line, not that fast, no push-back, and BOOM, the board nose-dived right into the pavement. I was VERY blessed that I wasn't hurt more. Saying a prayer for your recovery!
User error, you had to much in rush current ( low power ) or otherwise, you also were not expenough or failed to recognize pushback, they do not ever just dive. This was your fail
"I can only assume many young men working at Onewheel lack maturity, experience, and importance towards a safety culture." You know what they say, assuming makes an ASS out of U and ME. Please don't blame user error on the company and their products without any kind of actual evidence. Future Motion takes great effort to stress the necessity of safety equipment for ALL riders. Board sports are dangerous; it's a risk you take as a consumer to step on the board and ride.
Nice Vid 👍🏻
Thank you! I had a great time riding the OneWheel+ XR despite getting hurt on it!
Keep shredding
I am you right now but I am 54 a bit nervous with my idea to buy a OW. Black Friday and a price reduction made me pull the trigger this year. I will say in June I bought the Mten3 Electric Unicycle only to sell it realizing it wasn't for me. I mean I was able to finally ride it but mounting and dismounting could ONLY be done for me by holding a fence. And so I sold it, and so here we go again trying a OW for more money.
I am sticking with grass first or Astroturf before I graduate to concrete like I did with the EUC. Mounting and dismounting on a OW should be a whole lot better?, only time will tell....
PS .... I am definitely NOT A SPEED DEMON SO I am really hoping not to fall and hurt myself?
Well, from my experience, I thought that the OW was a fabulous machine! My advice would be to start slow, and wear protective gear. I have heard that some people start on softer areas as well; so, I'm sure that could help with some landings! :-) Once you get the hang of it, it is VERY easy to get to going way to fast, so be careful, and watch out for "push back". I wish you the best of luck with it! They are a lot of fun for sure!
I get hurt almost every time I ride my onewheel.😝. I still ride daily. 🍻
Glad that you are still riding your OneWheel! They are amazing for sure!
You should try an EUC. For one - they are way safer. You are aiming forward and if you have to bail you are in the best position to run it off. The way power is delivered feels very natural. I tried the Pint and felt the tire was too narrow (lots of wobbles) and the stance not wide enough. Trying to ride up hill put that nose way too close to the ground. What you will get with an EUC that you won't get with a bike or Jeep is a strong sense of balance, and that is probably one of the most important skills to retain (or embrace) for someone at your age.
Thanks for the reply! I sure did love my OneWheel, but I think that you make a great point! Balance IS extremely important!
Been debating on the Onewheel or an eskate, might go with an eskate, seems safer
Indeed. I think that the eskate probably would be safer. I don't trust the OneWheel XR after it nose-dived on me. I did NOT ignore pushback as some has said in the comments. I did experience push-back a few times, but I backed off when I did, and had none of it around when I crashed. I wasn't even going that fast when I had the wreck. Just cruising along rather mellowly.
Iv an xr and two euc.the euc is alot safer but there is a bit of a learning curve but well worth it when you get the hang of it
Thanks for the info on the EUC! I really appreciate it. The OneWheel's are an awesome piece of tech for sure! Please consider liking & subscribing if you haven't already. I am REALLY trying to grow this channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark.
If ya didn't know how fast you were going, you probably pushed the speed to the limit and nosedived. From the damage you sustained looks like you were going alot faster than 12-13. Hope you decide to give it another shot eventually. They are amazing machines. If you do, go with a Pint, its cheaper and you can feel the pushback (speed limiter) much more.
Good point! However I did experience the pushback on the OneWheel from going too fast, but not the time that I wrecked. The damage was so back, because it was kind of like stepping on a rake. My forward momentum instantly got converted to angular momentum when that front dug in.

Just bought my first onewheel (pint) at 52, and I have to say you are awesome! The video and your truth are well spoken and shown 👍🏽
It has taken me a lot of falls, a few sprains & strains to learn how to ride it safer - there’s a STEEP learning curve for all the subtleties and scenarios.

June 2019 A dog off leash attempted to herd me and my XR off the bike path. I went down broke 7 ribs and suffered a concussion. I ride EUCs and know how to fall, and so even though I do not recall the accident clearly (there was a nosedive and I fell backwards) I assume I could have handled it better. Fast forward a year and I am back on the Onewheel, hyper sensitive to the subtle pushback on my XR. It will not be harsh, once you feel it - react to it...Riding through pushback = fail, period... I am 58 and loving the experience and have switched from Mission to Delirium and feel that the board has “tightened up” a bit and suits my carving style perfectly. Float on my friends!
I'm glad that you are still riding your OneWheel XR!! Float on!
hey just a heads up if you wanted to try them again... go with the easier route. Those being suprents.com or friendwitha.com. Glad it wasnt too bad of a biff.
@Explicit Ginger Wow! That's a GREAT tip! Thanks! Thanks for watching & please consider subscribing if you haven't already. I am REALLY trying to grow my channel to the critical 1,000 subscriber mark. Thank you SO much!!
Subbed to your channel as well! Thank you!
If you would if read the directions its explains how the foot sensors aid in dismounting from the device. You were just letting it run away from you in the beginning. In my experience you would be better off with a belt or hub driven longboard given all the pavement you have just out your front door. I think you would have 1000% more fun than a onewheel. Check out the backfire zealot, onsale right now like 700 bucks.
I did read the instructions before I rode the OneWheel. I watched several videos too. It was more that I didn't have ability to pull my foot off when I was first learning without falling. I'll check out the longboard. Thanks for the info.
Had my xr 5 days and nose dived it at 15mph or thereabouts. Broken clavicle and huge contusion on hip. I'M 60 and can't wait to get back on!
That is awesome that you aren't going to let that stop you! I absolutely LOVED the OneWheel + XR, but I thought that I had better give it up for now. I do miss it though! We have a Jeep now that we take out A LOT off roading. It seems safer for me! However, nothings is quite as freeing as a quick ride on the OneWheel after work!
Don’t feel bad I’m 35 and took a slam going 18mph I still ride mine daily. Wear a helmet people. 💪
Thanks! I'm so glad the you are able to keep riding your OneWheel!! Indeed, I hit my head extremely hard, and I am REALLY glad that I had a helmet on.
I like the "owning reptiles" comment, very apropos. I'm 66, I've put 360mi on my Pint since mid June. I wore hockey hip and upper body pads my first 2 weeks riding, on top of a helmet, wrist guards, knee, and elbow pads. I no longer wear the hockey stuff unless I want to practice a new skill. I never touch the Pint without suiting up with the rest though. I spent a week simply standing on it in a doorway to get the feel and get used to getting on it. Then another week developing an emergency exit strategy. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I absolutely love this thing.
Smart man!! I wish that I had have been that smart!

@@HodgeHub I've only fallen three times so far the first time with hockey pads on, 2nd time in grass on forgiving soil, 3rd time was hard, a similar accident to yours. I am a petite 6'1", 255lbs so if I get too excited and push down on a foot pad it just gets driven into the pavement. I will ride along as my wife is taking her walk. She was rounding a neighborhood drainage pond on a path that I don't like to ride on. I was on the street across the pond from her and she scared up a dozen or more geese and sent them flying over top of me. In my excitement to escape the drop zone as they flew over I pushed the foot pad too hard and was thrown onto my left side onto the pavement. I was doing less than 5mph+/-, so speed was not a factor. No visible signs of damage but I hurt bad for a couple of weeks. All good now, I just curb my excitement now, low and slow all the way.
@oldretireddude Sounds like you have a good system down for riding your OneWheel!! Keeping the speed down would have definitely helped me out!! I had to learn from the School of Hard Knocks. I should have an honorary PhD from that place by now!! :-)
That sucks that you got a ONEWHEEL and you have to sell it because you had a accident. I do have the XR. With 358 miles on it so far. Learning was my main concern after practicing for many days I was finally able to understand how the ONEWHEEL works. now I feel more confident and in control. Always maintain 10 to 12 miles per hour just to be safe. I don’t need to speed to be happy. I don’t think ONEWHEEL is dangerous the rider needs to follow the rules of the ONEWHEEL to be safe and have fun. So far I have been ok no accidents at all. Is my favorite. Take care and get better🤙🏼🇺🇸🚀

8ve got well over 4000 km on my xr... don't blame the board for your limited experience, majority of crashes are user error... actually ALL crashes are user error, you made the decision to ride it.. you didn't take your time, you didn't learn how the board reacts at low speed, you did not practice in a controlled environment. Crashing is always the user's error regardless of "why"
Congratulations on your 4,000 km + on riding your OneWheel XR + !! Nice job!
@@HodgeHub eh umm thanks I guess?
Dude you are old and fat like me . It takes loger to heal. You should have kept at it. One wreck and you quit. If you would have wrecked your bike would you have sold it? Her is what you do, buy a nother one. Get some better protective gear and have some fun. The more fun the more likely you are to get hert . Thanks for sharing I am definitely getting one now.
Good points!
Your wreck could have came from ignoring the push back too.
I did experience push back on some rides, but not the one that I crashed on.
I recked mine the first day having it. I was going 16mph. I got bruised and sprained my toe. I still have mine and ride it everyday, but more power to for knowing your self.
