Onewheel - The Most Dangerous EV worth it?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- In episode 104 of Truck House Life, let's talk about the Onewheel , made by Futuremotion. Is the Onewheel dangerous? or is user error the real danger? Is it worth the risk to ride? In this video, I show footage of some onewheeling on and off road on streets and trails, and I talk about my experience with a board malfunction that caused an unpleasant wreck. I'll talk about why I sold my Onewheel and why I decided to get a Onewheel again for a second chance.

lol yuuuuup
@@TruckHouseLife how fast did you go when you fell?
@@coreykirby1632 I think he said 18mph.
@@chuckwalters4759 where?
@@coreykirby1632 in video I thought
Nice colors on your board. You are absolutely correct...RESPECT the onewheel.
Thanks man, yup respect the board, nailed it:) Although my old board just randomly turned off (not a typical nose dive), it was a software malfunction.
@@TruckHouseLife A device like this should have a warning like a loud audible noise like EUC's instead of over current protection/ shutting off.
I'm in Kenai Alaska with my onewheel Pint. I don't go over 14mph because I can't afford broken bones. But I love it!!
yup! under 15 is the sweet spot
I bought the onewheel, hella expensive, but goodness it's my only friend hahah. I just like it, I fell atleast 10 times on trails, twice on the street, I just can't put it away though.
I love trails too! 10mph on a trail seems very fast but on paved streets you want to go 20mph+.. so I try to stay on trails
lol yup they are fun for sure!
yup keep it under 15 is my new rule
@@TruckHouseLife My top speed so far is 16mph. I'm happy with that. I can feel the pushback ever so slightly and I DO NOT MESS with that! I also heard don't push the motor if under 30% battery life. Do you remember what your battery level was at when you fell?
Stoked to see ya back on the Onewheel brotha! 🤘
same here man!
My Onewheel just came in today and I'm psyched. I was zipping around the street in no time. Of course it's been pouring rain the rest of the day. Can't wait to get back out though.
AWESOME! Enjoy it and keep it UNDER 15 MPH!!!!;)
Definitely thought you would end up back on a one-wheel I had a bad wreck a year ago and bruised or broke my heel bad enough that it still hurts a year later. I still ride here and there. My issue was I was riding when I was overly tired and just not safe. But if you respect them they are an absolute blast.
Sorry man, be careful out there:)
@@TruckHouseLife always gotta get back on the horse haha 😅👌
Just saw this today (sep 2023) thank you! I know it's not IF it's WHEN you eat dirt! But my relatively minor wreck (front foot = ankle scary AF pop and gimping for over a month) it shook me up worse than I wanted to admit! Hearing stories like yours sure helps me work on gettin outta my own head and back into floating! Love the realization that they're cheaper than season passes... now to improve my noob snowboard game as well - the reason I got a OW. Excited to now go check out more of your content!
PS apparently the OW ghosted! 😳
best vehicle i've purchased in a long time - crashes are to be expected
agree haha
This is Really cool. My son is ~small; was intrigued by the idea of this ‘OneWheel’. Thank you for doing this video/ taking the time to record and ‘produce’ it!!
Interesting.
When you kayak shuttle, do you:
1. Drive to kayak destination and hide one-wheel
2. Drive back to kayak starting point
3. Leave car and kayak to destination
4. Leave kayak and one-wheel back to the car
5. Drive car back to kayak destination to pick up kayak
???
What car is that wagon?
I am wondering the same too for you know the one wheel is not in the kayak. I am leaning he hides the one wheel and than he has to hide kayak to go back to the vehicle...lol
@@x35mmman Yeah, so quite the process. :-)
Leave the onewheel at the takeout so I can get back upstream to my truck.
My guy just got a pint ..and a helmet for me 🤟
nice!
Don’t forget wrist gaurds
Famous last words " I WILL RESPECT IT "
lol
My wife was just putt’n around on our daughters one wheel very slowly on the sidewalk which she had done many times before it wasn’t her first time then the front dipped down she fell off and a knee surgery we had to pay for. Yay a $10,000 one wheel ride. I believe the foot sensors are the problem it’s hard to keep the correct amount of pressure on the foot sensors when the one wheel is constantly moving up and down to the ever changing terrain like a suspension that sometimes the feet become disconnected from the sensor causing the board to shut off. This issue is completely different from those who are going to fast and causing the motor to shut off. Unfortunately I don’t know that they’ll ever be able to correct this problem this is why we sold all three of our one wheels.
yipe sorry to hear that!
Ive had this happen. Its honestly risky to go too slowly bc if your feet arent positioned right, the board thinks you are trying to stop. Do you mind if i ask what kind of knee injury she had? Did she step off with 1 foot to catch herself and the board took off or something?
You're incorrect. You only need to be covering both sensors in the front foot pad if you're riding below 1 mph. Thats extremely slow. Above that speed only one of the sensors needs to be covered. It's pretty impossible not to press one sensor whilst up and riding. All this info is in the manual. I ride group rides with up to 20 people. We've all owned our boards for over a year and ridden thousands of miles. No one board has just shut off. You sold al three of your onewheels because you got scared. Nothing wrong with that. It's not for everyone.
@@nathanf1934 you have just said something silly. Everything that’s made up of electrical components can fail at anytime. To say it can never just shut off is very short sighted of you.
It all makes sense, good ya got back on! Respect
Thanks man haha
Advice for anyone keep your weight on the back and just push the nose with your foot you'll get more reaction time if the board shuts down and if you have experience bailing off longboards at speed it will help a lot.
yup!
Great video, I like your truck house! I Bought one wheel crashed hard w/ER visit, but still still riding every day. Tips pushback it’s not just cause you’re going to fast could be other things. Always exit off the board with both feet. Keep riding and respect the board, cause it can eat you!
Yup they are addicted for sure, and yup push back can happen for all kinds of reasons, found it all out already;)
Im just recently getting over a pulled groin 1 nite that had me of my onewheel for 5days. On that 5th day still being sore, I went out for a 3.5mile ride, I was scared I'm not gonna lie, but this is what I say. We can get into a freak accident anywhere at anytime in or on anything, we just have to do our due diligence and be prepared and safe. I no longer think I can't get hurt even though I fell off it hard a few times before. I'm just more aware and cautious and that comes with experience. I'm over 315miles now since mid July, and I still can't wait to float everyday. NICE VID bro.. Stay positive and enjoy life to the fullest 💯 👍🏾
Yower, careful out there!
What is that beautiful wagon??? Nissan?..very cool. Looking forward to another band video. Best wishes ✌🏼😊
Toyota Corolla AllTrak ✌🏼😊👍🏼
Toyota Corolla All-Trac!
I miss those Ocoee moped shuttle days! My neighbor just got a one wheel, and I’ll definitely give it a try.
lol right?! Would love to find another Viza Venom scooter lol
Just found this, so guess you already did do a one-wheel vs scooter video :) Good points made. I love the long range of the scooter but size/weight does matter. One-wheels do look more fun :)
I watched this just out of curiosity, but think you are right that keeping top speed down is important. I see these around but mostly a lot of e-bikes, and they all haul ass way faster than a standard bike, then suddenly you never see them again, because when they wreck at that speed it's going to be bad, like wrecking full speed on your bike. Especially if something gets caught up in the front wheel or in this case it suddenly stops. But at least with a helmet and some pads it may be safer. Cool video though I'm going to check out more of the truck house ones.
Wow...careful man with that new one! Greetings from 🇺🇾😵😵
Will do!
I just watched that video- that fall was pretty bad. Wow! Yes, go slower this time. I can't believe you still did that kayak review after that fall too. I hope your pinky heals.
still don't have full use of it lol.
Love the one wheel
same here!
What caused the failure? (Stopping all of a sudden) Perhaps get reimbursed by the company that manufactures it? It’s the price of an old used car. Looks fun too! I just found your channel a few days ago! Love it! I lived on the Peninsula for 4 years back when you could see Portage Glacier from the highway! 1990-94’. Sure miss it still!!! I’ve been binge watching for a few hours. Never get tired of the epic scenery!! Great content!
Board threw a code and turned off, Onewheel fixed it.
Good luck with that Timmy and be safe 👍
thanks man i'll try lol
Don't know how I missed the live feed!!? I have the bell on!???😲😜
next time!
Currently waiting for your vid premiere of you riding the One Wheel down Slickrock.
Just sayin...lol
Segway mini plus haha very safe and fun. Nerdy, but safe and fun
Lol yup pretty much!
Thanks for enlightening us on the pros and cons Timmy! Thinking you must stash the one wheel at your kayak destination when you pull out and wheel it back to your rig? To then drive back to pick up the kayak? 🤔
nailed it!
Absolutely worth it 1000%. Just hit 1,800 miles on mine. 800 of those miles have been put on in the last couple months. Best purchase I ever made. Whose board is that in the thumbnail? Did you get another onewheel? What happened to your aftermarket footpads?
Sounds like you missed a few of his videos!
yup got another one! this video will explain why;)
@@ethanphelps9478 haha yep! No idea he had made any more onewheel videos.
@@TruckHouseLife uh oh did you mess up your board? Lol
@@nyccollin i messed myself up, look up my Pyranha 9r2 review video and it shows the wreck lol
They look like so much fun! But yeah keep that top speed down haha.
will do for sure lol
Dude, nothing against OW as me thinks its super kool. I like it but end of the day, its a toy & a toy with major limitations (range, speed, form are just 3). For your lifestyle, what you really need is a EUC ie. Electric UniCycle! Get something like a Gotway RS torque version & shod with a dual sport knobby, you'd on road, offroad, mtb trailing, hill climbing, exploring & adventuring with it. There are a number of brands of models & range for th RSt (mentione above) is anywhere from 30-50+miles, depending on average spds & terrain. I know cos I own & ride a number of 'em. While OW is like snowboarding, EUCs are more like skiing. As usual, IMO & YMMV. Peace out brother! 🤘
Lol, yup I looked into those, too big to fit in the truck easy though.
Onewheel... Looks like a lot of fun. Sounds like it will hurt your wallet in a couple of ways... 1) to buy it and 2) to pay for medical expenses when the inevitable happens. Oh and perhaps an arthritis-filled retirement. Nothing worth having comes easy.... Live on!
yup gotta be careful
🇬🇧🏴☝️🤘🤠thought it was gonna be a unicycle lol😂😂😂aw ,respect,thought I was watching Marty Mcfly lol 😂 morning,looks kinda fun, off road too,nasty, great video Timmy as usual hope your safe and well my friend 🇺🇸Dave in Cornwall
psssshhhh, not this time;)
I love my Pint X but I broke my ankle being stupid…and I’ve learned to keep it charged now 😒
Yipes careful mane!
I have nose dived but ran it out. The trick is don't stand completely sideways. Shoulders should be facing where you are going. I have installed fangs since the nose dive, but I feel like they could be more dangerous. Top speed is 18.6 mph...haven't been able to get 16 since the nose dive....go figure.
Or u can go Just for EUC i ride both and onwheell i easier to learn but euc way more safer nic video bro.
Lol too many toys!
Did you ever try installing "Fangs" that help you roll out of a front end drop? They've worked well for me.
yup they're on there if you look closer;)
I’m guess you went over it’s max speed limit and activated it’s PUSH BACK feature, but I’ve heard that’s hard to feel if you’re not aware of that safety feature. Cus if you don’t slow down during push back the OW will shut off cus you going past it’s max speed.
$1500.00? Respect I get, but Dayum! That's a lot of cash.
yup they ain't cheap
Question why did the one we'll just stop on you what was the problem do you know
it randomly turned off/board malfunction, not the typical nose dive from too much speed
People always say "respect the OW"... That's tough to do with its limitations. Small battery, underpowered motor and bad software. Needs a bigger battery, more powerful motor and a capped top speed of around 30mph. No nosedives between 15 - 19mph, if 19 is the max speed then it should maintain that. As for hill climbing, don't get me started. 2k for all of that? I get it, the ride is something else but coming from any other esport one can't live with these limitations.
Yup always room for improvements. I think an audible alarm that lets you know push back would be smart.
For real great vid. I was gonna pull the trigger months ago because of your recommendations, then you found the flaw. Why doesn't it coast when it dies?? I've skated and wrecked for over 3 decades, that's a seriously negative thought.
However, now you've got me thinking again, and this model looks different. Is there a battery monitor so you know what you've got power wise?
No worries, your phone monitors the battery level.
Following the path Icarus took……you ran right back to your next future faceplant
Only reason I’m hesitant in also grabbing a OW is because of these crash horror stories I frequently hear about.. Thankfully they now have those “fangs” that help to deter heavy damage from a nosedive (on pavement at least I’m not sure how they’d work out on an off-road trail that isn’t smooth). Did you have fangs on yours when the crash happened? And did it turn off because the battery died or did it just turn off randomly for no reason? Pretty scary if it was the latter
yup I had fangs and was on the pavement when my crash happened, they didnt' do anything lol. The board randomly turned off, it was a mechanical failure:(. Not the typical nose dive from going too fast.
Damn that is not what I wanted to hear haha. Good to know though..
@@TruckHouseLife I think the fang wheels need to be bigger to work better imo
All this talking about respecting the wheel is just ridiculous. They are just not safe and Onewheel should finally address the problems. Shutoff at fullspeed without any warning is not an acceptable idea. I had 3 very dangerous nosedives (despite lots of respect) with my pint and i'm off.
Yup they'll still get ya sometimes.
Hi! And why didn't you try an electric unicycle? Did you consider it? Because for today as I know it is the most capable compact type of vehicle.
Maybe someday
Onewheels are death traps, clearly by your irreparable damage to your hand. I am a EBoard enthusiast and would recommend:
1. Ditch the Onewheel
2. Get a Meepo City Rider or V3 with 100mm wheels. There is a remote which could be the only supposed downside.
3. If you decide to keep the Onewheel then I would suggest getting Fangs attachments for the power offs and nose dives, the fangs will allow you to ride it out like a nose press.
*just be aware of the "push back" from One Wheel, it happens when trying to gain more speed but either battery or the computer will not allow it and it ‘jerks’ rider back to alert You. If you ignore it and continue on the accelerator, u will crash. Like you did.
Anyway. Hope your hand gets better Timmmmmmy!
yup, gotta be careful, keep it slow
Oh no! Sorry you got hurt. Is there the abilityon the one wheel to set it to coast of the power cuts out? Seems like a mtn bike would be the best shuttle, but too big? Stay well man!
Nope it won't balance and just throws you off if you power cuts off.
Need one of those hats?!
I'll have em in February, hit me up at truckhouselife@gmail.com
Hi there I have a boosted mini x and it does great for speed on sidewalks and it coasts but when I ride this trail down to a creek it is much slower and I’m thinking about selling and getting a onewheel but it is expensive and I’m not sure
nice
Get some Fangs if you don’t have them already. 👍
Yup they're on there in this video if you look closely;)
I don't recall you have ever said why did it fail? You said you sold it. So guessing it was working again after that?
It malfunctioned/turned off, not the normal nose dive. Onewheel fixed it for the buyer.
That's awesome good customer service!
Good to hear your back on a OW. I have a pint and XR love them. How do you shuttle with it, do you carry in your kayak in a dry bag?
Yup! Stoked about it! I leave the onewheel at the takeout and drive upstream with the kayak.
@@TruckHouseLife very trusting, you must hide it very well
@@growingupisatrap6688 hide it and lock it to a tree
So why did the board shut off at 17-18 mph? Was it a mechanical failure?
Malfunction, onewheel repaired it.
What kind of fangs(the wheels in the bumper)did you get for it?
Landsurf Fangs 2.0
@@TruckHouseLife Nice. Ya I had a gnarly nose dive like two weeks after I got mine so I’m looking at fangs my self. Let me know how you like them cuz I don’t know if I want those or the 3.0 bumper.
@@tylerschlauger2717 get the Sonny wheels (like fangs but with big rollerblade wheels). They would actually stop a nose dive.
@@TruckHouseLife ok awesome I’ll check them out cuz ya my Onewheel scares the crap out of me now but I love it to much to stop. Oh and great videos lately man I’ve really been enjoying them
I see you got fangs on your board also got them after my first nose dive
TIMMY fall off something 🤔🙄
hope not!
I'm on the fence right now thinking about buying the one wheel. When you first road the one wheel, how long did it take you to get comfortable riding it?
Do it and make sure to get an XR (not a pint) so you actually have a good range to ride. I got comfortable on it quick, but offroad takes practice.
@@TruckHouseLife Awesome!! And thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my message
Get a meepo mini man!!
Mayhaps...
Works great for commuting except those times u wake up in er lol
Over 600 miles and not one turn off yet. Must be a problem with your board only. I’ve never heard of anyone having this problem on one wheel forums and face book pages.
Nice, hope it stays good for ya!
This kid was in Cirque du soleil b4 they closed due to covid. He also injured himself riding a one wheel with other Cirque friends but he's a pretty awesome rider so check out his earlier youtubes: ruclips.net/user/weschh best Rich
nice
EUC seems the answer? :)
mayhaps!?
@@TruckHouseLife check out my clips - the model my Mrs is riding is legit small but a Tesla v3 is even more tiny 🤷🏼♂️
Do the fangs make a difference when off road?
not much
Imo the onewheel is far from the most dangerous. Electric longboards are far more dangerous cause of those tiny wheels.
My buddy and came across a guy in my old neighborhood that fell off 1 of those head 1st and ended up dieing a few weeks from brain trauma
that sucks:(
@@TruckHouseLife yeah crazy shit dude be careful on that thing
Did you not have fangs when you had your accident?
Yup, they don't work when you're going really fast up hill
Good to know. Trying to learn as much as possible b4 taking the plunge
2 possibilities that happened 1. you didn’t buy the 3$ power button cover and a rock hit it 2. you went past pushback
haha, not quite, I have the power button and didn't go past push back, the board turned off (it was a malfunction that onewheel repaired).
Why do you think it just stopped on you? Sounds like a malfunction?
yup it was a board malfunction, onewheel fixed it for the buyer of my old board.
Sounds to me like you have a good lawsuit there. You are not the first person I’ve heard it shut off on them and they won their suits. Not trying to scam them but it it just shut off in the middle of your travels then you better look into that since you are injured.
yeah, I'm the one that signed up for it though;) they didn't force me to buy one so wouldn't do that to em.
You don’t race moto x in a bathing suit and you DO ride a one wheel like you are racing a moto x race.
lol
Get all terrain electric skateboard! It has more range, more stability, less weight and cheaper price
Too late;)
@@TruckHouseLife Never too late brother!
That thing is a death trap..... broke two ribs..... still ride the hell out of that thing. Just run slow.
lol yup gotta run slow fo sho!
EUC = dethwheel. OneWheel = sex
lol
How the he'll does something going 20 mph not glide to a stop?
Once the nose dives the board stops and you go flying.
Board didn’t die out on you, you pushed over the limit and paid for it unfortunately. If boards were dying out for no reason OW would have been sued out of the existence! Glad you are back on OW, stay safe and be smart!
uh no bro, it literally turned off, like the power turned off. Had to send it to onewheel for repair.
@@TruckHouseLife well, that blows.
How is it the most dangerous EV? My electric skateboard goes twice as fast
A electric skateboard doesn't rely on the motor to balance. If the Onewheel motor glitches your on the ground and your going sideways so it's hard to run
if the motor fails or you go to fast, the nose dives and the board instantly stops, you go flying off... skateboards have 4 wheels so if the motor dies you still keep rolling safely to a stop.
@@TruckHouseLife both are potentially dangerous but we are willing to take the risk for the enjoyment of riding.
Have you fellas had issues with the motor controller or motor issues? I was originally going to get a one wheel but I decided to go esk8 instead. Now I’m building my 4th skateboard. 😆
@@enjoyesk8978 only the 1 time it cut off on my old board, there was an error code it threw.
I have a separated shoulder thanks to my malfunctioning One Wheel. Sold it ASAP.
yipes, sorry man
the one wheel is NOT a "Electric Vehicle". it is not a vehicle. your title of "EV" is just wrong.
lol, a vehicle is defined as a machine that transports people or cargo... i think it justifies calling it an EV, it's electric and it transports humans
@@TruckHouseLife I ride mine to work everyday..... It's my VEHICLE. LOL
I beg to differ its the most dangerous ev when eucs go 50 mph + lmfaoo
Why not try an Electronic Unicycle?
too big
a chicago dude: ruclips.net/video/v_Ha6v1DI54/видео.html BTW I wouldn't last 2 seconds without breakin my head :( Rich
Stay away from one wheel that thing will mess you up ! Trust me I know . Torn meniscus! My knees bent out shape . It’s fun but not worth destroying my body
I just go slow now, sorry about your knee that sucks
like he said respect your board and know your limits. ive had mine for 18months with over 4200 miles on it. i did have a few injuries of course but hey noone ever learn to ride a bike without falling. i leanred my limits. my xr onewheel is the best purchase I've ever made.
