Hey there I am making this post in hope someone can help me out. I currently have a onewheel gts xl. Purchased it a little bit ago and I love it, but I’m looking to get some more range and speed out of it. Have been seeing people talk about funwheels and personally have no experience with them. Can someone help me decide if it will be an upgrade to my xl? Any help or info would be awesome!
It's OK Future Motion. I fixed it for you.
Recently had a fall on slightly wet pavement and I wondered if the slick tyre was the issue. I would assume that for treads to make a difference, you'd need enough weight bearing down on the tyre for the treads to open up and create the traction needed. Can see that happening for a car which distributes upwards of a quarter tonne per tyre, but does an average weight rider (75-100kg) put enough pressure on a treaded tyre to create noticeable traction on wet smooth surfaces?
my onewheel pint x tire recently popped, and i was following instructions to fix the tire. i was doing everything right, using the right tools, bits and everything. the screw started stripping. in a desperate attempt to get it out, i tried to use an easy out, which didn’t work. now the screw is insanely stripped and i don’t know what to do. im afraid it might be beyond repair and i dont know how to fix it. any help is appreciated!!!!
The nice one was 20 minutes before falling into a lake and the ugly one is 4 days after

I’ve had my XRC since April last year (~500 km) and it’s been flawless, but I’ve been getting the upgrade itch.
I mostly ride asphalt (cruising/commuting), so nothing too crazy.
Trying to figure out:
Is it even worth upgrading if my board still works?
What do you actually gain from going VESC?
I keep seeing the Fungineers X7 pop up everywhere and it seems like the go-to VESC board now but there’s also the option to VESC my actual XRC with a GTV or a GTFO.
What are the differences between these 3 options (GTV, GTFO, or sell my XRC and buy an X7)?
Would I even benefit from the extra power?
Or should I just keep riding my XRC and stop thinking about it.
Appreciate the input!
Anybody have an idea how long it typically takes to ship an X7LR that said it was in stock?
I ordered at like 5 am on the 15th when they restocked, order just says received still.
I am ready to pull the trigger on the Funingeers X7 to replace my OG pint ive had since it came out. I’m on the fence when it comes to the sport versus long range options.
The $400 savings, less weight, and it being currently in stock has me tempted towards the sport. I feel like 25 miles will feel like plenty after getting 6ish for years, plus it charges quickly anyway. Additionally, I use my board to get around town more than I do on trails (that might change once I have a more capable board) and any weight savings when it comes to carrying the things around feels like a win (already considering upgrading to the 5” hub when it comes out to save weight).
My question for the subreddit, are there any X7 Sport owners out there that really regret not getting the LR?
P.S. - would love to hear any ownership anecdotes about the x7 or fungi boards in general.
I have been on the Onewheel since 2020 and have had no mechanical failures when it comes to future motion. I’m getting left in the dust because everyone in my group has switched to Vesc. How reliable are these boards from fungineers?
I’ve been saving a cart full hoping for some deals. Are they not doing a sale this year?
According to chat gpt the bms is the brain of the board, and if it deems something unsafe than the board won’t come on ?
If thats true dose the bms do a run though of your board every time you power on, or is it more so. Ok i found something wrong mid ride, NOSE DIVE!
I have witnessed boards brick right after riding, and charges, but never during a ride, and now i am wondering if because the bms detected something.
I guess i am wanting to know if there are any fails safes? I personally have not seen a nosedive due to component failure, and i wanting t learn more since i am stocking up on parts for my vesc build.
Hi everyone,
I’m writing from Chile, so as you can imagine, shipping and taxes here are a nightmare. I need some "real talk" on what to do with my Pint X.
What happened: I jumped a curb, the board made a "pop" sound, and the motor immediately locked up. After some troubleshooting, I found that when I unplug the motor from the controller, the wheel spins freely. When plugged back in, it’s a total brake.
The Diagnosis: I opened the controller, and it seems I fried the MOSFETs. And the board won't turn on i need your recommendations:
The "Cheap" fix: Ordering 10x Toshiba TPH2R608NH (or equivalents like Infineon BSC026N08NS5) and taking the board to a local micro-soldering expert. Total cost: ~$120 USD. Risk: It might not work if the driver or internal traces are blown.
The OEM fix: Buying the official FM Replacement Controller ($300 USD). I have a friend visiting the US who can bring it to me to save on shipping/taxes. Risk: Buying the same fragile hardware that might blow up again on the next jump.
The "Nuclear" option: Going PintV (Floatwheel kit) for $450 USD. My friend can also bring this in his luggage. Pros: More power, no digital pairing, VESC freedom. Cons: More expensive and requires opening the battery box for the BMS.
Given that I already spent a lot of money on this board recently and I live in a country where parts are hard to get, what would you do? Is the MOSFET repair reliable enough, or should I just bite the bullet and go PintV/OEM to be safe?
Thanks for the help!
Went for a short quick ride to the convention store on my block last night. I figured a short slow ride would be fine. On my way back I went over one of those temp speed bumps made of plastic. I guess it was really slick because the wheel slipped and took off from under me when it met the pavement again. I was going slow, I was cautious, I’ve taken that route and went over that bump before. But the dew or something made it even more slippery than usual. I’m ok obviously, but the road rash doesn’t feel nice and my hip hurts way more and could have completely avoided it if I would have taken the 5 minutes to dawn my gear. Lesson learned. Learn from my mistakes please.
First time making a PEV battery back with such limited space. This is a 15s2p 21700 layout. The original recommended layout seems needlessly complicated. Any feedback on this setup?
Picked up a used XR off FB Marketplace the other day. I am 64 years old and always looking for new things to learn. I am included pics of everything I got with it. It has a C&R removable fender and it looks like original rear foot plate was replaced with C&R. I spend a few minutes a few times a day learning how to mount and dismount safely. Only 2 days practice and I feel very comfortable mounting and dismounting. Although the heel lift thing produces most of my falls. I just jump off for now. It had 482 miles when I bought it, let my nephew ride it for a week (he uses them to move around campus for his classes) to check it out and he seems to think it is OK.
Anything you can tell me about the XR would be interested in hearing, or general comments about learning to ride. I live way out in the country and have a super long dirt driveway and live on a dirt road. I got it mainly to work on balance.
I got my hands on the Sidewinder as soon as it dropped so I could get some testing in asap!
I've been mainly riding the 5" Superflux HT and 6" SFHT, but also have boards with the 6" SFHS and Hypercore, so you could say I have some solid baseline to compare!
Full YouTube video linked in the comments if you want to see all my first impressions of it on trail and on street!
Anyone have any experience with Only Amps? I need a new battery for my XR 4212 and looking to get one from them.
