Torture Testing our SECRET 🤫 Onewheel Product

[@Trail_Clydesdale]

Got to try it out at Shredfest and it is truly amazing. I know it's cliché to say, but it does really feel like floating. Rocks and debris get absorbed by the tire instead of sending vibrations to your feet and legs. I will 100% be buying it when it drops.

[@matt_dm]

Aftermarket innovation! It is so good when the actual riders get to give input on the development. It is so interesting to watch the different iterations that TFL goes through in trying to improve the ride.

[@jasonsecretsword7606]

Between the WTF rails and the new Hub/tire I think the GT is looking like something I am ready to buy. I hope futuremotion appreciates the extra sales you guys are going to land them.

[@jaefrmbk2k]

💯

[@deanaoxo]

So, showing the world how true innovation is done through rider input, testing, and dedication. Imagine if you will, a company, with market share, that took this approach. Stunning results possible with positive goals. #rigthtorepair means so much more than the slogan. Kudos to the team, thank you for all that you do! Positive Vibration! True Aoxo

[@RealMikeDobbs]

This looks awesome. How does it affect the motor temps- does it run hotter, cooler, about the same? Also, do you plan to develop this to work on the XR platform as well for all of us VESC folks?

[@TheFloatLife]

Seems to run the same so far in testing. XR version next on the list.

[@Pyriscent]

I would love to see this go up a hill right next to a stock GT to see which one overheats first. If this can beat the cooling performance of the original GT then the idea that they only put a larger hub for cooling is busted

[@RealMikeDobbs]

@@Pyriscent That's already busted- GT runs cooler with an XR hub than the original hub.

[@Pyriscent]

@@RealMikeDobbs Interesting, I meant that isn't this even smaller than the xr hub though?

[@RealMikeDobbs]

@@Pyriscent Yes it is- but the GT always ran cooler with the XR hub, so we already know they didn’t change the hub size to help with cooling.

[@alexlinderman2251]

Was lucky enough to ride one at SeeknShred this year. It felt amazing!!!

[@Sidkain]

I definitely see the benefits of a smaller hub. As someone who hasn't adopted the GT platform in any way, shape or form, I can see this going a long way for VESC builds on a more GT-centric style, because FFM. Does this smaller hub lower the ride height of the GT at all? My biggest gripe about the GT was how much higher that small change in height feels versus the XR. I rode my first GT at Shredfest last year and was bummed I couldn't make it this year, but I'll be back again next year. Likely I'll get to experience many new community innovations, but nothing actually game-changing from FM themselves.

Just going from high school physics I think it’s it’s the tires diameter above all else. But commenting to get notified if someone with actual brains has an answer😂In terms of physics larger diameter = less torque but more speed. Smaller diameter = opposite.
