Adam Savage's One Day Builds: OneWheel Electric Skateboard Mods!

Adam loves riding his OneWheel XR electric skateboard around the neighborhood, and makes modifications to his board to give it some attachable payload capacity as well as GoPro mounts to film his rides. The satchel he sews allows him to repurpose car airbag he rescued from a car in his MythBuster days, and the camera mounts will give us a sense of how smoothly the board glides up San Francisco's hills. And the modifications aren't completely without a custom charging stand to build as well!

As someone who sews and finds it easy, to see you working through your process when I immediately had a good idea of how to do it was actually really refreshing. You're kind of a hero to me; doing things that I only wish that I could take part in. Yet this reminded me that this individual whom I look up to is still very human and is still learning. It shows the we all have areas that we really excell in compared to others and that we shouldn't be too critical towards ourselves when we observe others doing well in their own specialities. So thank you Adam for this. Also, for anyone wanting to try making a bag like this, use ripstop nylon. It's the same stuff used in parachutes and nearly as durable as airbag cloth but nowhere near as difficult to use.

[@Engitainment]

It's funny, I've seen this video before but I'd forgotten he used a car airbag and thought "ooh, parachute fabric, nice!". Glad to know that's an easier usage!

[@heyspookyboogie644]

I’d love to hear an answer straight from him, but I suspect it would be more reasonable than many would be happy with. Unless you live your life entirely around right to repair, there will always be compromises. And outside of things like iPhones where even 1st party hardware isn’t trusted digitally, you can usually get by even if a shop can’t offer it as a repair service. (Which some don’t think right to repair really includes necessarily). And some things are just seen as not really needing manufacturers support so long as they aren’t actively preventing repairs. (Ie you don’t expect a silverware company to make modular fork tines so you can replace a tine when it breaks, but there’s nothing stopping you from doing whatever you want with the fork either)

Love Adam but these Onewheels are a flawed design that hurts people. Search “Onewheel nosedive” and see the plethora of examples of these things just shutting down at speed. Future Motion (and their most loyal fans) will try to convince you the board gives a warning before nosediving. It doesn’t. Hell even Adam crashed this way. TLDR: Shuts down at speed then SPLAT! Buyer beware!!

I have one and it does warn you, however it isn’t enough of a warning. You could also just not go top speed downhill, that helps.

@@Brave_Sir_Robin in 150 miles it never once gave the pushback warning. Not once. But FM tested it and says it’s working normally. Terribly flawed and dangerous.

[@Brave_Sir_Robin]

@@Arithorath I would disagree, but we all have different experiences, ya know?

[@Semaze]

The reason it goes forward is because people have a bad stance and don't pay attention to pushback. The board tilts up telling you to slow down. The only time I've ever had a nose dive was because I didn't respect the push back and kept going. (Also if you know how to roll, as an ex skater then you can save yourself a lot of damage from nose dives.) It's not the design, it's just not being fully used to what you ride on. It's simply that when you're at max speed, you will overpower the balancing if you keep pushing. You can say "Oh you're just a fan who doesn't think FM could do any wrong." and I could say that you're just a sceptic that doesn't want to give any interesting things a chance. Plus if you stand in a moving board of wood, you sorta need to expect, and accept the risks that come with it.

This build was awesome!! Taking a tour of your shop/cave/makerspace would have been like heaven. I love to tinker. But hard with no space to place down machines. So hand held power tools and some strange stands will have to do for now. :D I love watching your videos. They give out ides, and also are relaxing to watch.

"And remember this: there is no more important rule than to wear these, safety glasses....except maybe don't mount a sword above your work area where you might bonk it with a styrofoam you and almost Eric Bana, _King Arthur: Legend of the Sword_ yourself to death. That's a pretty important rule too."

How is your board that clean? A few weeks in and I have a ton of scuffs all over my pint!

[@Codebreakerblue]

Black magic, I'm sure.

I saw another beat up standard blue XR in the background and I wonder if he doesn’t ride his custom orange board much

[@Codebreakerblue]

oh yeah that's probably it The orange anodized aluminum is beautiful

I love your videos Adam, keep up the great work. What was the car at 51:11 ? Is that a Jaguar learning some self drive stuff? Also, an Insta360 One X2 on it's own selfie stick would make for an awesome video on the one wheel, because the stick magically disappears, would look like you have your own cameraman following you everywhere. :-)

But if you don't name it Claptrap, Curie, or Cogsworth, and give it some of their voice lines...what are you even doing with your life?

My dog used to chase people on a one wheel all the time. It stopped when I took the one wheel away.

My memory of both San Francisco and San Diego in summer are, nice warm sunny days with cool off shore breeze, and then damp cold fog that a Scotsman would enjoy at night.

[@ashorton2u2]

Such a new looking onewheel. Can't remember when mine looked that new.

[@Haverr1]

51:47 - Even the dog is impressed by your onewheel [turn the captions on]

Hey Adam.....have you thought of putting an insert made from plastic or some similar material inside the bag just to give it some rigidity...same shape as the bag, just a little shallower than the height of the bag itself ? Love seeing you just have fun and geekingnout over new creations. Much love.

[@matthewrolls8717]

Lol great minds.. I just watched then commented not noticing yours haha

[@fen4554]

I wasn't expecting the look of the bag to go from used diaper to NASA satchel when he inverted it. Looks fantastic.

[@mistral2706]

I was always told that camera and video footage is much more Interesting with people in them..

The Fireman’s Turnout coat is an ideal riding jacket. Extremely robust, light in color with optical yellow AND reflective tape for daytime and nighttime visibility. Exactly what you need for city riding!

[@paulvamos7319]

Ironic that the commercials were also 1-wheel. Nice ride.

[@charltoncarswell9977]

Is that gonna still be balanced during the quakes? 😂
