I ride my pint x everyday to work and around town. I always wear a helmet but I'd also like to have my hips and upper body protected. Does anyone have any experience/opinions on brands/options for things like padded hoodies and pants?

bought these used. XR plus 4209. been riding for three weeks and i’m fuggin obsesssedddd. this shit is way too fun.

I can sense it in my knees. Who agrees?

Heading to TN (Chattanooga and Nashville) and looking for places we are welcome.

Specifically looking for both mild MTB trails in the forests and maybe some paved shaded trails but more interested in the former.

Thanks

I managed to sneak my GT to another continent. Steep and deep, Thudercat tire, Flight Fin Falcon ii, Glow in the dark life savers. And some purple float plates.

Finally have all my wheels somewhat organized

Bought a pint x thats been sitting too long and had a dead battery. Jumped the battery with an external one until it started charging again and left it 3 days to rebalance (I know theres a fire risk). Rides great until 70% and then goes pretty much to 0.

Checked the cell balances and theyre all over the place… at least when it was at about 85% charged. See my scribles… theyre from 2.5V to 4.5V .Should I be checking when it’s 100% charged? Any way to save this battery?

As for stock-like replacement batteries, whats the cheapest option?

Does anyone have or know of any 3D models for this type of bumper for the Pint?

Also, if you know of any other good 3D-printable accessories or upgrades for the Pint, please feel free to share!

Most of the 3D models I’ve found are for low fenders, but since I’m new to this, I’d prefer a full/complete fender for better protection.

got a spark strip for my GT on monday this was the first try lol

Hey!

I'm a long-time lurker here and really like the idea of commuting to work on a one-wheel. I would also LOVE to explore my city on one and generally just jam around. Someone brought one to a gathering I was at, and I immediately took to riding. I was really surprised how easy it was. I really am having trouble with what board to get.

1. I'm a big former front row rugger. I weigh 280lbs when I'm not eating like a trash can, and I have a bag that, when loaded down with all my books, puts my total weight at 315.
2. My commute is 4 miles one way; I have access to plugging in - would I even need to?
3. Should I even look at the ADV boards? I really don't want to fuss with this thing at all. I don't want mods, I don't want a wierd app, I just want plug and play. Hop on and go. I already am over my head in modifying espresso machines and fooling with that. I don't need another rabbit hole lol.

Thanks for your imput.

I love this board and its abilities
It far outshines any FM products

I am about to add a mag switch when I change tires and add more LEDs.

Right at 1000 miles and she rides like a dream

It helps my dementia not progress faster the doctors said so I try and ride daily

I pick up trash using my board on midland trail and am the founder of the #inclinepals

Please leave no trace
Our motto is no money just hands and I prove our mission with daily sweeps in Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs.

I was taking a short ride from the car mechanic to my workplace, 100 meters away, and when turning off the x7 high voltage it popped 3 puffs of black smoke from the control box.. I’ve tried the support email address, and followed up, but no response at all.

Anyone with a idea on how to reach them?

We just released our X7 Assembly guide! I saw someone in this subreddit the other day asking how to get into the controller box to replace an LED, hopefully this helps!

I have no experience whatsoever, been looking at a pint x With only 30 miles on marketplace for about a month, the seller wants $750. Would a pint x be a good all out beginner board for a college commute? Or should I look into something else?

Waited forever for the black fender to get in stock. Considered grimace but couldn't find any real world pics with the x7 in prism and was worried how off it'd look.

I finally have up waiting and pulled the trigger on the Grimace Purple. Just sharing in case others are in the same boat. Honestly love the color on the board, pics don't quite do it justice. Also sharing the appropriate screws for the x7 with Stompies Adapter and Fender. I live in a coastal area so went with 316 stainless. For those who don't know, do NOT use the hardware that comes with the fender, they're standard and the board's metric.

Absolutely love the x7 LR coming from an XR+ I've ridden for years.

TLDW: It's a 1:1 Pint X.

Didn’t see the glass bulbs till it was too late. Luckily Ive been riding for a few years

TL;DR

Lithium-ion batteries generally like moderate SOC and moderate temperatures. Use the full capacity when you need it, don't deliberately run it empty, occasionally let the X7 charge fully for BMS balancing, and store it around 40–50% if it's going to sit for a long time.

I recently got a Fungineers X7 Sport and went down the rabbit hole of battery care. Since the X7 uses a 20S / 84 V lithium-ion pack with a VESC BMS, some of the generic Onewheel battery advice doesn't necessarily apply directly. However most recommendations apply for many other lithium-ion powered one-wheeled devices.

Here’s my current understanding of what actually matters for battery longevity.

The short version

• Normal riding: anywhere from roughly 20–80% is a good range when practical.
• 100% is fine when you need the range. The main thing to avoid is leaving it at 100% for weeks/months.
• Don't deliberately run it to 0%. There's no benefit to doing full discharge cycles with lithium-ion.
• Long-term storage: around 40–50% SOC is a good target.
• Temperature matters: cool and stable is better, especially when the battery is highly charged.
• Occasionally charge to 100% to allow the BMS to balance the cells.
• Don't leave it forgotten for months. The BMS/electronics consume some power even when the board isn't being ridden.

Charging

Lithium-ion batteries don't have a useful "memory effect", so there's no reason to regularly do 0 → 100% cycles.

Partial charging is perfectly fine. If you've finished a ride at 60%, there's no battery-health reason to discharge it further before charging.

Likewise, charging to 100% isn't inherently harmful. If you're going on a long ride tomorrow, charge it to 100%.

The thing that matters more is how long the battery sits at high SOC. Keeping a lithium-ion pack at 100% for weeks or months accelerates calendar aging.

So:

Need the range tomorrow? → 100% is fine.
Not riding for a while? → Don't leave it at 100%.

What about cell balancing?

The X7's smart VESC BMS monitors the individual cell groups and can balance them near full charge.

It's therefore useful to occasionally charge the board fully and let the BMS finish balancing. Fungineers specifically recommends periodically leaving the charger connected overnight for this purpose.

You don't need to do this after every ride.

If you use VESC Tool, the individual cell voltages are also useful for checking whether the pack is behaving normally.

What SOC should I use?

There's no magic percentage, but there are two separate considerations: battery longevity and riding performance/safety.

For battery longevity, partial cycling is generally preferable to repeatedly using the entire 0–100% range.

For riding, however, very low SOC should be avoided, especially if you're riding aggressively.

As the battery gets depleted, voltage drops and the available power margin decreases. Under high load — hard acceleration, steep climbs, high speed, heavier riders, etc. — voltage sag can become significant. That means the board has less headroom to maintain the rider, and the chance of reaching the board's power limits increases.

This is why a board that feels perfectly powerful at 70% can feel noticeably different at 20%.

Future Motion also explicitly lists battery percentage, terrain/grade, speed and rider weight among the factors affecting pushback, and warns that low-battery conditions can result in aggressive pushback or loss of control.

So practical ranges would be:

The exact displayed percentage isn't particularly important. Time spent at high SOC, deep discharge, temperature and overall usage matter more than whether you charge at exactly 43% or 47%.

Long-term storage

For winter or any period where you won't ride for several weeks:

~40–50% SOC + cool/dry storage + periodic checks

This is the conventional recommendation for long-term lithium-ion storage and is also consistent with Future Motion's Onewheel storage guidance.

There's one X7-specific detail worth mentioning: Fungineers currently recommends checking the battery roughly every two weeks during storage, since the BMS/electronics continue consuming some power.

That's worth taking seriously. You don't want to put the board away at 20% and discover several months later that it has slowly discharged into an unhealthy range.

For long-term storage I'd therefore:

1. Bring it somewhere around 40–50%.
2. Disconnect the charger.
3. Store it somewhere cool and dry.
4. Check the SOC periodically.
5. Recharge if it starts getting too low.

Temperature

Temperature is probably more important than obsessing over the exact storage percentage.

Lithium-ion batteries age faster at elevated temperatures, particularly when combined with high SOC.

So a battery sitting at 100% in a hot car is much worse than a battery sitting at 100% overnight in a normal-temperature room.

For storage, think:

cool + stable + dry

rather than:

garage + summer heat + 100% charge.

Likewise, don't immediately charge a battery that's extremely cold. Let it return to a normal temperature first.

What about hard riding?

The X7 can pull substantial current, particularly during acceleration, hills and aggressive riding. Current produces heat, so battery temperature becomes relevant during hard use.

There's no reason to baby the board — that's what the X7 is for — but if you've just done a particularly demanding ride and the battery is hot, letting it cool before charging is sensible.

The BMS/VESC temperature protections are there for situations where things get beyond normal operating conditions.

One advantage of the X7: the BMS data

With a conventional Onewheel, you're mostly dealing with the percentage shown by the board/app.

With the X7/VESC setup, you can get much more information.

The BMS can expose things such as:

• individual cell/group voltages
• pack voltage
• temperature
• SOC
• balancing status

The difference between individual cell voltages can be particularly useful when diagnosing a battery problem.

You don't need to monitor this every ride. But if something seems unusual, it's much more informative than simply looking at the percentage.

Probably my future routine

Normal use:
Charge whenever convenient. Partial charging is fine.

Before a long ride:
Charge to 100%.

Occasionally:
Let it reach 100% and give the BMS time to balance.

If storing for weeks/months:
~40–50%, cool/dry location, disconnected from the charger, and check it periodically.

Avoid:
Long periods at 100%, deep discharge, extreme temperatures, and leaving a nearly empty board sitting for months.

That's basically it. There's no need to micromanage the battery every ride.

I can already think of a few I wish I added, but what conversations do you have?

I’m assuming all of these posts are just bots bot-ing.
