Onewheel Beginner Tips | Floating In Place | VESC, XR, GT...maybe Pint but probably not

The Board Garage 2025-05-21 | Whether on a Onewheel GT S-Series, or a custom VESC onewheel, standing in place on the board is an important skill. Often called "floating in place", this basic but tricky action is the basis for comfortable dismounting, direction changes, and overall control development while riding.

How To Ship A Onewheel

The Board Garage 2025-05-01 | If you need to ship a Onewheel for an event or something, this may help. Could work for a Onewheel XR, VESC, GT or GT S-Series, Pint probably, or anything that isn't a BTG sized board. I just documented how I approximated a double-carton shipping box for a board that I did not have an existing box for. The boxes and foam products were purchased from a local shipping supply store (packagingsupplydepot.com) and the other items can be found here:

Are You Destroying Your New Onewheel Motor?

The Board Garage 2025-04-16 | If you have a new Superflux motor, or installed a Float Life MTE hub. Since most VESC based boards come from the Onewheel XR frame/platform, the installation of the inner hub bolts (which are really screws) are crucial to avoiding damaging the axle.

Onewheel XR Classic Review

Obviously, all thoughts in this video are my opinion and should be treated as such. This board was loaned very generously by Grimm on the Vescify Discord. Thank you very much.

Onewheel Remotes Explained

The Board Garage 2024-11-01 | If you have a VESC based one wheel, then using a remote to tilt the board is one of the many features that completely change the ride experience. So while this does not work on Future Motion boards like the Onewheel GT S-Series or Pint or XR, it will work on most custom built DIY onewheels that use a VESC based motor controller.

Hoosier EB1 Treaded Onewheel Tire Review

The Board Garage 2024-10-16 | This onewheel tire will fit the XR, GT S-Series (GTS), VESC, and any board with a 6" rim. Hoosier calls this one "Monoride", and so that's another name to consider. So, whether you have a DIY Onewheel, a custom VESC, or a brand new shiny Onewheel GT S-Series Rally Edition, this old school kind of tire may be up your alley.

Accompanying notes:
http://theboardgarage.com/articles/fungineers-gtfo-kit

In this video, I go through the hardware assembly of a custom VESC one wheel, using the Fungineers GTFO kit. I elected not to use the Floatwheel GTV kit for a couple of reasons, but mainly because this is running an 84v custom lithium ion battery and the Thor VESC is designed for that.

This board was built on the extended Tech Rails 357 rails, using the Burris 11.5x7.0-6 tire. It's larger than my own Onewheel XR based build, and larger even than the Onewheel GT S-Series. Obviously, it's much larger than a Onewheel Pint, Pint X, or the new Pint S.

Battery Balance Explained

The Board Garage 2024-08-17 | The phrase "cell balance", or "battery balance" SEEMS to be pretty misunderstood in the general consumer area of DIY, custom, and enthusiast hobby PEVs, especially in the VESC onewheel space. This video aims to clear up some of that misunderstanding, and visually demonstrate what balance looks like, what effects is does and doesn't have on the use of a device, and what would be considered "bad" or broken, and what's generally normal.

Superflux Thunder Tire Removal & Install Quick Tutorial

The Board Garage 2024-08-15 | This was originally recorded for the @Fungineers Discord server, to assist users with tire changes. It seemed decent enough to publish, to demonstrate tire removal for this motor. This is a Superflux V2 (Mk2) High Torque (HT) but it's the same hub as the High Speed (HS).

Upgrading A VESC Onewheel | Fungineers Thor300

The Board Garage 2024-08-08 | This is a custom VESC onewheel that was built on an extended Onewheel XR style frame. The original build used a Little FOCer in a Flowglider box, and this rebuild swaps out to the Fungineers Thor300 VESC in the "complete box" assembly. The motor remains a Superflux, and the battery remains an 18s2p pack with 50S cells. The rails are extended Tank Rails (a WTF style set with slightly different angles).

Do YOU Need Onewheel Shoes?

The Board Garage 2024-02-24 | Getting foot pain is pretty common after you've been riding for a few miles. For some, it's worse than others, and there are a few causes. Whether you ride a Onewheel XR or a Pint, the issue can still pop up, and it may cause some worry as to how you're going to manage longer rides.

Can shoes help? Maybe. I now wear Vans sneakers when riding for longer distances, and it has certainly helped. Maybe it'll help you.

Please note that this is not a Onewheel XR, or a Onewheel GT, and it is certainly not a Onewheel GT S-Series. It's a custom built from mostly aftermarket parts. There will be a separate video on this build project coming soon-ish.

Floatwheel ADV Pro Review | A Budget One Wheel with a VESC

The Board Garage 2024-01-17 | This video covers my impressions of the Floatwheel ADV Pro, however the regular Floatwheel ADV should be more or less the same for all major considerations. It is a decent board, but one that has some flaws that need real attention. Currently, it can be seen as competition to the recent Future Motion flagship, the Onewheel GT S-Series (or GT-S).

Thank you to Tony at Floatwheel for sending this unit out, it is much appreciated.

Thank you to Maclak at av-wheel.com for helping with the photos for the BMS.

I Traded My Onewheel GT For Something Cooler

The Board Garage 2023-12-22 | The Onewheel GT that's been sitting unused has finally found a new home, and in exchange I got the first of a collector set of old boards that will include the original (V1) Onewheel, the Onewheel+ (or Onewheel Plus), and my first Onewheel, the XR. The monetary value of the trade items often gets cloudy when collector pieces are involved.

Floatwheel ADV Pro Repair - Water Damage - Parts Replacement

The Board Garage 2023-12-19 | This was a customer repair that came into the shop, and so it seemed worth documenting. Board was water damaged, and in need of repair. After the customer communicated with Tony at Floatwheel, a set of replacement parts were sent directly to the shop, and the repair was performed.

Floatwheel ADV pro, not a Onewheel GTS or GT S-Series.

Onewheel Tricks & Games ft. Jake Leary | More Fun Than Racing

The Board Garage 2023-10-30 | In this video, a community of great riders come together for the 1st Annual OneTrickWheel Games.
If you're interested in the game sets used at this event:
onetrickwheel.com/product-page/wheelshot

In addition to the diversity of riders, there was also a large array of boards in attendance. Jake used his Floatwheel ADV Pro, many had a Onewheel GT, there were Onewheel XR and Pint boards, but unfortunately, no Onewheel GT S-Series.

But, many VESC onewheels were there. Well, a few.

Hoyt Street Tabor Review | A True Electric Skateboard

The Board Garage 2023-08-07 | Brief accompanying article: theboardgarage.com/articles/hoyt-street-tabor

The Hoyt Street Skate Tabor Electric Skateboard is, in my opinion, the best electric skateboard you can buy in 2023. And probably 2024. It's just a solid good. It checks all the right boxes, and leaves the faff and fluff out. Instead, it focuses resources on doing things properly.

Onewheel, VESC, and the Floatwheel

The Board Garage 2023-07-03 | What is VESC? youtu.be/gaHIFx08fO8

This is just a collection of thoughts on how this developing collection of hobby products may be categorized, regarding how they're made and how the enthusiast one wheel community engages with the devices. Onewheels, the Onewheel GT, the Floatwheel ADV, and VESC based builds all share the same form factor, but they are all fairly different in their origins and rider experience. These are obviously not rules or recommendations, just thoughts on what it seems to be developing into.

Meepo Bamboo Hurricane Ultra | Gear Drive | Tubeless Wheels | Electric Skateboard Review

The Board Garage 2022-11-02 | The Meepo Bamboo Hurricane Ultra is an excellent value electric skateboard that punches high above its price. Even though I am a die-hard DIY builder, this board ticks all the boxes, and I would be more than happy to have this as a daily driver. In the electric skateboard world, Meepo as positioned itself as a strong presence, and the release of the Hurricane Ultra shows that clearly.
With the tubeless wheels and TKP trucks, this board rides like a dream.

Lithium Ion Battery Fire Bag | Big Ol Boom Part 2

The Board Garage 2022-08-18 | Whether you own a Onewheel GT, a Meepo Hurricane, an Acedeck X1, some other electric skateboard, or especially an electric unicycle, your chosen PEV contains a relatively large lithium ion battery pack. When these things are poorly assembled, or treated improperly, or abused and subject to poor treatment, they can be a massive hazard.
This is the second in a series of videos where a manufacturer sends me a "fire proof bag", or some kind of safety device to help reduce the risk and damage from a battery failure/fire.

Obviously, these things are interesting to watch, but they also serve as a reminder of how bad things can get when you take their power and energy for granted.

Foamies Singles: onetrickwheel.com/product-page/single-foamie

The Onewheel GT and its release has been very rough, and it has further illuminated the ethos of a company that continues to lose the support of myself at the very least, but it seems many of their formerly diehard fans.

Either way, this recall is a positive thing, and if you have a Onewheel GT, it would be a good idea to avail yourself of the resources available in order to make it a safer product to use.

Ultimate DIY One Wheel Build | Introduction & Parts

The Board Garage 2022-08-06 | For the first video in the series, I go over the parts that I'll be using to build a VESC based Onewheel rebuild/restore project. The only Future Motion parts being used are the motor, and the battery box. The rest of the parts are aftermarket or third party products, and the wiring will be custom done to suit the needs of the build.

The plan is to build and base the board on a 20s battery, with a top voltage of 84v (72v nominal).

I am very grateful for the contributions and help that are making this project and video series possible:

Are you Onewheel rider with a broken board? Maybe you bought a Onewheel GT and realized that if your board breaks, you're up a creek without a paddle. Maybe you have a Meepo Hurricane, and want to tinker, and have heard people mention that putting a VESC in it would do something.

What even is VESC? Is it an ESC? Is it firmware? Is it the answer to all of our problems? Well, maybe.

This video tries to answer some questions and clear some things up regarding a growing interest in certain niche PEV communities. Whether you're an eskate rider or have seen 30mph riding on a one wheeled board, this video hopes to be a primer for Vedder Electronic Speed Controllers, and how they may become beneficial for you.

The Onewheel GT Review

The Board Garage 2022-07-01 | Opening sketch inspired by @KitbogaShow 's A.I. gag. He is a treasure, subscribe to him.
The announcement of the Onewheel GT alongside the Onewheel Pint X was a major moment for me, as it was for many. The long wait until it arrived was rough, and the initial release was frought with issues. Months later, and it's become clear that the GT demonstrates the ethos of Future Motion, and that it is not one that is kind to the riding community as a whole.

Through the cost-cutting measures taken in its design and production, and the resulting drop in quality, it's clear that the Onewheel GT is just another "tech product" to be sold as part of a lifestyle and experience brand, and not a well crafted machine that is meant to provide a service to customers for many years.

It is, I think, a profound disappointment. It could have been so much more.

Onewheel Beginner Tips | Torsional Stability (Heel Toe Balance)

The Board Garage 2022-06-28 | Whether you're riding the Onewheel GT, or the Onewheel Pint X (Pints especially, actually), or the Onewheel XR, the ability to stabilize and regain control from a toeside or heelside bump is important to staying on the board during a ride.

Most of my earlier falls were from uneven terrain that would buck the board into a rotation, kicking me off.

Practicing rotational (torsional) stability is an important part of reducing falls and staying confident when you're trying to get from points A to B.

Better Onewheel GT Ride Feel - Foamies Grip Tape Review

The Board Garage 2022-06-25 | The OneTrickWheel Foamies are a hand-made grip tape replacement for the Onewheel. They aren't traditional grit based tape, but instead a dense textured foam that does a good job of dampening microimpacts from riding, and offsetting the harsh ride feel of the Onewheel GT.
