13 Onewheel Hacks You Didn't Know

[@TalkingTrey]

Really enjoyed this kind of video was pretty funny and got a good couple chuckles and got some good knowledge keep it up guys 🫶

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

Maybe the real hack is the friends we made along the way

[@TheAnimeist]

The number one hack is to swap the controller with a VESC. That C++ templates by the way are great reminders of why I need to ride a Onewheel.

[@annuet6454]

As someone who feels immense anxiety when lost on a trail, Ill swear by TrailForks

[@garrettsmith3310]

The Posi hack is a game changer 🤙

[@jacktally3210]

Onewheel dead out on the trail? Deflate your tire and then carry the Onewheel on your head with the tire on head. The ancients knew a thing or two about carrying heavy objects for distances.

[@AuRowe]

I've done this but without deflating. Great idea

[@-JohnSmith-]

Also works when you disguise it as to sombrero to take it on a plane

[@redboyjan]

Nah, loop your belt round the front and walk it like a dog

[@DSC1320]

You really should start saying the happy Monday again. I loved the stuff 😁🙏🙌

[@jcygts6]

Love the XR so much hacks!

[@SinCityEsk8]

That front pad sensor hack though!!!! Fukin better work on my pint x or ima beee piiissssseeed!! 😝

[@Lady_Vengeance]

What is the point of doing this? I’m genuinely curious.

[@SinCityEsk8]

@@Lady_Vengeance makes it so when one side of the sensor activates the other side automatically activates. No more heel dismounts though, kind of an advanced rider thing.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

@@SinCityEsk8 Ok good to know! Thanks I might hold off on this one for a bit haha

[@BummersAbound]

HACKS! Funny! Didn’t know about the Hooligan Tow.

[@-JohnSmith-]

Over the warranty milage on the GT but want to have a problem covered free under warranty? Unplug the battery for 10 seconds to reset the mileage to zero🤙🏼

[@redboyjan]

🤣

[@TheFloatLife]

Hacks!

[@deemontes7265]

Serial code will tell them it’s been over 6 months. No cigar on that one

[@-JohnSmith-]

@@deemontes7265 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@FloatyMcFly]

One time by board landed reeeealy hard on its side, turned itself on and back on, and it landed in the mode from tip 1 😂

[@BigORider]

You didn’t mention the XR headlight perm on brighter trick. In app hold the light button for about 5 seconds and the headlight goes brighter and stays on. Mine used to be able to do this.

[@TheFloatLife]

That's a good one!

[@Pineapple-Lord]

Best OneWheel hack for 2023 is gonna be downloading the Hermes App 😏 Would you guys be interested in doing a Q&A and/or an interview video with the developer of Hermes? You guys would be an awesome way to get the word out about it🤘

[@DestryStClair-wm7vx]

I don't mean to bash on what I presume is a great app for some, but it appears that there's no recorded trails near Seattle. I think im the only person in the PNW actually because I can only find trails in the mid east and Utah. Love the idea though.

[@Pineapple-Lord]

@@DestryStClair-wm7vx You can make your own segments just like Strava! Hermes is designed specifically for our community. The app was just designed last year so there aren't many trails up yet. We super appreciate the feedback 🤘 Float on

[@DestryStClair-wm7vx]

@PineappleLord Oh damn I didn't even realize. As soon as I get some replacement parts in I'm gonna carve it up all over!

[@antogagnier2862]

Thanks ! I learned many things

[@deemontes7265]

Does the posi thing work for GT ?

[@trucksanddestruct]

First, how do you euro posi the pint. And second, i would like my pint to be on XR or GT level, so how could i do that

[@floatfanatics8850]

Trade it in.

[@1and289]

Rewheel

[@MEEfO]

Ok I feel stupid but what is the utility of hack #2? Do you do it on the front or rear footpad, or both? And does it work on the GT as well? Thanks, float on, brothers

[@chasethestoke]

Me too, very interested in this hack, anyone have additional info?

[@leeweber85]

The pint can change riding modes by pressing the button/footpad as well. I can’t remember exact steps, but I know I’ve changed it before by mistake when powering up. Light bar changes colors to indicate which ride mode is active.

[@northuniverse]

Time to float right into the main frame.

[@jangrewe]

Is #5 really a "Hack" if page 44 of the manual simply tells you that the power button is also a battery indicator?

[@LexxD3]

I enjoyed the one you haven't showed in this video that allows you to set custom leveling on any board including GT so you can run sick rails without the wack nose-drag. Really let me down that it didn't make top 13....

[@FyreDrac]

Community is trying to keep it kinda quiet.

[@jcygts6]

@@FyreDrac yup better to take advantage before FM patches it

[@FyreDrac]

@@jcygts6 VESC in progress here so i dont gotta worry about it

[@ravenshaw1514]

Mind elaborating???

[@sqzmheckington4730]

Wait, how?

[@TreadTalk247]

I bought my two son’s each new GT’s for Christmas, they’ve never ridden before and we’re having trouble activating both sensors on the foot pads causing them to get frustrated so the little wire hack to activate both sides of the pad at once would really help new riders!!!! Now my wife and I need to steal those GT’s from our kids so we can float too!!!😮😂😂😂😂

[@anthonyfryer742]

Elj...in the building.... sick...ness.. who knows what...?

[@mrEldengue]

🤣👍

[@HowieMP1522]

If you're dead, why would you care to charge your board?

[@RainBRiding]

Peeing while riding, Hack?

[@TheFloatLife]

Pooping while riding. The ultimate hack

[@CarveyKeitel]

While drunk… hacks…

[@deemontes7265]

Shartting while riding

[@user-yi7ud1ld5z]

Pint front bumper fits on the Pint X for a little more clearance

[@lonewolfzzz]

🔥

[@TheFloatLife]

Hacker man!

[@redboyjan]

Plus bumpers on XR also

[@juliosapere8010]

Hacks hahah grab your new recall GT footpad take off the grip tape and transfer it to your back footpad on your old XR bam new free grip tape that fits perfect haha hacksssss

I’m going on a road trip right now and I can’t wait to ride the new trials

[@dee2ski]

Daum, everyone in multiple layers and wearing Touqes. Way to keep the power bill down and the husky happy!

[@TheFloatLife]

When in doubt, chill out 🥶

[@qapaMcFly]

Bro if i knew how to change riding mode i wouldnt be stuck in elevated for 2 miles... Next time :D

[@growingatthebeach9186]

😂🤘🤘

[@james9245]

Freddy hack is by far the best one!

[@TheAnimeist]

Does the Euro-Posi hack jumper from pin 1 to 2 work on all FM sensors? Thank you.

[@TheFloatLife]

I believe so

[@TheAnimeist]

@@TheFloatLife Thank you. I can verify it works on a Pint. I eventually found a KZbinr showing just this, but he makes the short inside the controller box, soldering a couple of through hole pins together. The circuit board on the Pint is clearly marked where sensor 1 and sensor 2 are.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

What is the purpose of doing this?

[@TheAnimeist]

@@Lady_Vengeance This allows you to have to hit only one sensor before the motor engages. Used normally for tricks, and bumpy trail rides. One trick is to slow down, keep your leading foot on the pad, and hop on your trailing foot. This would be nearly impossible to do if you had to have both pads engaged. Also when just hopping on the board to get started, it ensure more that the (a) pad is engaged. On bumpy trails it's very common not to land your leading foot back onto both sensors, which may cause problems. The drawback is in stopping. You have to tail drag, jump off, or use simple stop.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

@@TheAnimeist Thank you! Especially for explaining the stopping. When I was trying to imagine the implications of doing this I thought it might cause an issue there. Very helpful.

[@Dowindowin]

Tire Pressure !!!

[@chrispewkreme]

Nobody ever gonna remember what mode is which. Such a pain… it would be cool if onewheels had a little display for battery readout and modes.

[@sethcourville4467]

I just discovered the euro posi a few days ago! Awesome one for sure I’m loving it

[@Vaughnboilore]

The sensor trick doesn’t work for the GT unfortunately. I tried it and put it in the same spots as you showed. If you know the correct spots let me know. I’m light and have a hard time on getting both sensors

[@garrettsmith3310]

Just saw a video for GT posi. It’s the opposite two pins u connect. Basically to the left of the notch instead of the right

[@pencilposer101]

Its a stretch to call more than a couple of these hacks but good tips, but can we talk about the cringe 90's hacker for the sales ad at the end....
