What went into the Onewheel S-Series? | Ep. 12 | The Onewheel Podcast

[@DockGorilla]

So happy for the heavyweights to experience what featherweight and middleweight feels! I can’t wait to hopefully get one and take over the Colorado underground!

[@nlitenurmind]

It rips! And I mean really rips! I weigh 230 and it carried my ass over every hill I could find. The power feels endless, or torque rather. I mostly ride trails and I'm still learning the limits of the new tire in ruts and loose gravel. Definitely worth upgrading for me. I hope the range is enough for epicness this thing offers. Thanks for the good times!🤙Can't wait to see where this is in 10 years. Great scott!!!

[@DJCheLu]

I'm curious if it will do decent in the range department for us 200+. Our group rides can be pretty long but we get a charge in usually half way

[@FloatyMcFly]

Howdy!! So great to hear all these techy aspects from Kyle! You guys are killing it! Stoked on the Rad Future!!

[@Onewheel]

Be well my friend!

[@RobertLeclercq]

The STABILITY. MY LAWD!!! This thing is on a whole new level from the GT. I'm in LOVE!

[@Onewheel]

Dude, you’re in one!?!? How we feelin?????

[@RobertLeclercq]

@Onewheel The perfect replacement for my stolen GT!! You hop on and it feels like standing on solid ground the board is so powerful/stable. Drives right up curb nudges, and bonks sky high! Don't worry learned my lesson, airtagged my xr, pint, and my GT-S before taking her out. Could we get some sort of ability to lock the board or register the serial via app?

[@cory7783]

How is the motor heat dissipation compared to the original GT? Will my new board overheat under normal circumstances?

[@Onewheel]

Go mess around and find out 😊

[@fattirecolorado]

Ordered in the first 12hrs. Just got my accessory box. So excited for the board to show up. I've spent 40+ years riding buying bicycles, motorcycles, snowmobiles... very few toys come race ready, it always drove me nuts taking off brand new parts. Thank You Kyle and everybody involved.

[@aaronlarsen8412]

I just got mine in the mail and it looks super clean in person. I can instantly tell it's got a lot more torque than the gt because I stand in front of it and hold onto it with the sensors with my hand and have it drive towards me and I try holding it back. This thing will end up spinning it's wheel before it can't hold you. It's so powerful

[@Onewheel]

Have so much fun my man!

@@Onewheel good catch tho right? They say the devil is inside the detail.😅

[@deanaoxo]

It's super important to the community that you continue to innovate. While many will poo poo the price, or cut down the platform, this board marks a steady climb in quality products. While I personally am a big fan of the XR platform, many prefer the GT. My only question(though I know the answer)is the continued use of the larger diameter tire. Regardless, without FM we would not have the sport that many of us can no longer live without. Best of luck, please listen to your new factory team when it comes to design. Nice to see Kyle loosen up a bit. . .

[@Onewheel]

Appreciate the comment. We will certainly keep cranking over here and yes, the factory team and the input they've brought already on Tire / Custom Shaping and now S-Series has been huge.

[@unsolicitedditkapics9722]

Lol less range, barely reduced weight. More speed that 98% of gt would never hit anyway. This isnt innovation.

I'm 273 lbs 🙂and on my GT in the best case scenario on a full charge I get around 14 miles, and if I buy a GT-S looks like my range will be around 10 miles or so, do I really want to spend a $3,500+ for 10-miles range board? that's a good question😵‍💫

This will be my first Onewheel and is set to arrive on Monday. I've surfed, skateboarded, flowboarded, and snowboarded for 20+ years and I'm pretty stoked to join this community too. I may make a first impression video so I'm curious if there are any recommendations from the community as to what to include in the video to make it a more insightful tool for others thinking about joining?

[@Onewheel]

Would love to hear how it feels considering your background. Really excited for ya. The biggest difference w wheeling and the other sports is just how accessible it is. You can go for a rip anytime you want. Enjoy!

[@satur9satur9]

Just ordered one. 3questions. Why isn't the charging port cover free ? Is the logo on the rim blue on all of them is it a sticker. Does the crop top fender actually block road spray and debris?. ( Mabey I should have ordered hybrid).

[@ex8f225]

Update: Received my S-Series 3 days ago. Day 1: It took a few minutes for my body to stop resisting & fighting the board, lots of “jitters.” Took 30 minutes to get comfortable cruising and carving around 10 mph. Took it out that night on the road again for a few more miles. Day 2: Got comfortable with the mind-board connection & cruising/carving around 15 mph, reached a top speed of 19.5 mph. Day 3 (today): First trail ride - relatively easy path with nothing too gnarly. Roots, rocks, inclines, turns, dirt, and grass with a few small drops on a single-path, wooded trail. How I’d describe the experience to someone new: Riding a Onewheel feels like floating on air, so “floating” is now understood fully. It's a seamless blend of balance and control granting an exhilarating and liberating sensation. You can effortlessly carve and turn, feeling the terrain beneath you while experiencing a thrilling sense of freedom and adventure. It's a unique, almost meditative experience that combines the best of skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing into one. Personally, it feels a little more like snowboarding than surfing. I absolutely love it. @@Onewheel

You guys keep saying it's x2 the voltage of the gt.. I'm not a mathematician, but 75v x 2 = 150v, not a 113v. False advertising?

[@Onewheel]

50% more torque at speed than GT. At low speed the differences are smaller, at high speed they are dramatic.

[@DirtSickle1]

@onewheel The GTS is amazing. It's everything, as far as power goes, that the GT was meant to be. I've had mine a few days and it feels like my excitement to ride is at an all time high all over again. This board is so much fun. That being said, I've had many boards for many years, there are a few of us that I know of having the same issue with our gts footpad sensors. Even on single zone engagement we are getting a LOT of false starts and a lot of shut off's while standing on the board. There should be no reason for that with a 215lb man standing on the board with it only needing a single sensor engagement. It should not be disengaging this much. Hopefully that is addressed. I will be reaching out for a new front footpad hopefully. Other than that, another few miles range would be nice. Those are my only two gripes. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Once the footpad is addressed only range is the concern. This new board is so much fun to ride. You got the tire right. It is soft and a smooth ride finally. The power is amazing. It's everything we've wanted. It climbs steep hills and picks up speed. Very impressive. Everyone will love this board. Those of us that cruise at 20mph that have been having to ride Haptic Buzz the whole time now have the board we need. We can cruise at our comfortable speed without having to ride pushback the whole time. Great Job FM! For 1k more price we would love this same power board with 10miles more range so we aren't having to sacrifice anything when upgrading. Hope to see that next! ✌️

[@bencrystalofficial]

How far out are we from 113V, 25 mph, and consistent 30+ mile range? Even if it bumps back up to 35 lbs (although I would love it to be lighter) 30 miles range is such an important threshold to feasibly make it from South or East Brooklyn to the Bronx and back. If that were the case I think I would sell my GT and buy an S immediately ;)

[@Onewheel]

I think the weight reduction is a pretty underrated characteristic. That said, Kyle touched on it a bit but we had to cut some range to achieve the performance targets we had. Good thing batteries are only getting better. Have fun cruising NYC!!

[@bencrystalofficial]

I gotcha, I've been wanting a lighter board since I got my GT and a 6% weight reduction is nothing to laugh at but I'll wait on some range tests. Maybe next time the sale rolls around! This gen rocks but I can't wait to see the next :) @@Onewheel

[@DirtSickle1]
