One Wheel Fender Availability

[SC720]

Also tax if your in cali...Interesting service options they added also: http://store.rideonewheel.com/collections/service

[veryous]

@SC720 haha yeah I got a shirt too. $130 later for some plastic, cotton and shipping. =)

[ThatGuy]

I wonder how much a new battery will be.

[joshuadmay]

It would be cool to have replacement rails on the refresh packages

I ordered my fender 👍🏻

[DVO]

Ordered my fender today :) :)

[Franky]

Also ordered the fender now! Pricing on all parts seems reasonable given the price of the product. I wonder if they replace batteries with the service inspection or just let you know if your batteries need to be upgraded for an extra cost I'd hope that would be included for what they are charging. 100 bucks sounds fine for a tire change. After a couple months of riding mine is still in great condition.

[ThatGuy]

The wording suggests that replacing the battery is not included.

[kjmedora]

What happened to the discount for Kickstarter backers. That was promised by them for the fender.

[lynnpreston]

Tire change was $150 for me (east coast).

[mikeyjihad]

$190 later I have fresh foot pads, crash blocks and a fender on the way!

[parrothd]

I bought the fender, just need my board back from service.. :(

[DVO]

Sooooo, anyone know the shipping o=time on the fender? Couldn't find anything

[veryous]

@DVO me neither.

[J-Glide]

Why so much for the fender??? Foot pads are only $50 with a built in sensor, wood, grip tape, and assembly time, but a piece of round plastic stamped out by a machine in .5 seconds that probably weighs less than a Frisbee is $85. Why??? I am obviously missing something here.

[veryous]

@J-Glide Engineering, cost, development, umm, third party, something something help me here...can justify because it's only a small percentage of board cost, umm....maybe cause it's first run. I'm too tired to come up with other ideas to make me feel better. haha =) All I know is my right shoe may start to actually match the left shoe again.

[J-Glide]

@veryous I will be ordering one too, but I'm just trying to figure this out.

[intra]

Anyone in Australia want to go for a group buy to save on shipping?

Shipping is 58% the cost of a new fender alone, little steep for a single order.

[T-CAT]

It makes me wonder now when these fenders will start shipping. If anyone gets a shipping confirmation, please let us know.

[BadWolf]

I´ve decided not to buy the fender, but to actually vaccum form it myself. The price is reasonable, but I figured that for the same cost, I can build my own, and learn something new along the way =D

[Brutha Man]

@BadWolf if it works. Let me/us know. I'd buy a homemade one

[BadWolf]

@Brutha-Man Will do. I would have the mold complete

[Polle]

Anyone from Belgium interested in ordering together?

[germx]

So. T'was a rainy day, and it was time to ride home.
Now I faced a tough choice. Wet and dirty pants and shoes, or quickly come up with a makeshift fender.
Well...

[utsu]

@germx ballin on a budget, love it

[T-CAT]

LOL, now that's innovation right there. I give you credit. You've gotta do what you've gotta do when the time calls for it.

[ThatGuy]

You should charge $84.99 (+ $15 shipping) for that and steal the fender market! ;)

[germx]

Worked surprisingly well, but I need to get something proper, that's for sure.
Paying 135$ (+ VAT and customs most likely) for a fender is a bit steep =/ But it does look really good.

[njcustom]

I'm going to be selling a carbon fiber version for around the same price.. If anyone cares ;)

Lmaoo 4-6 weeks

[T-CAT]

I can't tell if you're joking or serious NJ, ha-ha. Did FM tell you 4-6 weeks?

[njcustom]

@T-CAT

Lol I'm kidding.. But assume it's a long wait

[T-CAT]

@njcustom Haha, that's what I thought. I'm expecting that wait for the most part just because they are still backed up on boards, so naturally thought it may be the case with fenders too.

Winter is coming so I'd like a fender sooner than later if I happen to be riding and get caught in the rain.

[njcustom]

@T-CAT

I can't wait to get the board already lol I'm at 5 week 3 days :/

[T-CAT]

Yeah, that wait is a horrendous feeling. Hope you get yours soon!

[Franky]

Latest snapchat shows a bunch of fender size boxes being put together. Maybe they will be shipping sooner rather than later!

[DVO]

I'll be expecting mine today!!

[SC720]

@lynnpreston lol, there's definitely a dark helmet aspect to it.

[DVO]

Got mine! Very light! We'll see soon how durable it is. But it really compliments the onewheel well!

[NYC]

Looks pretty clunky to be honest. Oh well. I get mine Wednesday, gonna wrap it.

[megabuen0]

Def might pick up one for myself in about a month from now after some user feedback a.

[willcapellaro]

Curious if junk will get stuck or if this will actually solve that problem. I find myself ankle deep in pea gravel too often.

[shaunabe]

@lynnpreston instant classic. May the Schwartz be with you!

[lardnicus]

@intra I'm in Brisbane right now, where are you? I'm not buying the fender but I do think we need an Aussie group or something so we can pool our resources...

[BadWolf]

Question. If I would actually be able to make a decent mold. Would a tripod mount on the fender be a good idea?

[eish]

@BadWolf wouldn't you just get a whole lot of leg?

[SC720]

So far riding around on a dirt trail and pebble ridden parking lot it keeps everything off your back leg as the fender sits flush with the foot pad...Only thing is small twigs and brush make a sound like they are stuck in there and rubbing against the wheel. They obviously dont stop or throw you and they go away eventually...Speeding up helps! It's cool so far. Those in wet weather will need it this winter.

[SC720]

Will be testing it out on the beach tomorrow also.

[talktoDJ]

@lynnpreston LMAO at this!

[sidebox]

Question: I like to put a foot up on the wheel when I'm waiting at traffic lights, can the fender support this, or will it buckle and touch the wheel?

[SC720]

@sidebox It can support it...its very sturdy.

[germx]

Ordered a fender today, and a whole set of spare parts due to shipping (and a shirt).
Soon there will be no more BoxFender™ for me :stuck_out_tongue: .
Weather is getting rather poor now, and I want to keep riding! –:black_circle:–

[Polle]

Think I should order one too...

[BadWolf]

@Polle I would say yes to that..

[Franky]

Mine is being delivered today though I won't be able to use it until my board is fixed. Could have used it on this day....

[veryous]

@Franky board fixed what?

[utsu]

Lol, holy hell those pics.

[A. Sant]

Note: Avoid freshly mowed lawns!

[Franky]

@veryous growling sounds and rumbling motor started yesterday. Sounds familiar to what others have experienced to which the only solution is to send it in for service. I contacted support yesterday...still waiting for a response. I am a five day ship from ca so that is two weeks just for shipping. Then it sounds like service times are not what they used to be so I'm assuming I'll be out of commission for over a month.

[intra]

@lardnicus Hey mate, im in Perth , Western Austalia.

Agree, need to see if we can do a group deal.

[T-CAT]

Just got my OneWheel :). I will soon begin the digital camo vinyl wrap job on the fender and the side rails of the board. I'll post pictures tomorrow when it's done. The vinyl company sent me the wrong camo, but no biggie, I'll go with it. If I don't like it, I'll change it.

[J-Glide]

@Franky
Julian said it was just a matter of adjusting something. He adjusted mine and it hasn't made the noise since.

[MichaelW]

I just got the batman fender! It is so awesome! No more pebbles in my shoes on neighborhood rides!! I love it... Also, still fits my mini blue tooth nicely on the side.

PS: I vote for blue tooth speaker to be built into version 2.

[veryous]

@Franky I really wish someone would post a video of this. hint hint I've heard "things" on my board but just keep riding. =)

[Franky]

@veryous check this out. rumbling or grinding noise

There is a noise and motion you can feel happening in the wheel before I start moving. Start moving and the noise gets worse.

I've been riding for about three months now and this is my first issue. Can't ride it this way. Along with the noise you can feel resistance and I probably can't get above 8 mph right now.

Fm responded back today asking for a video and a screenshot of my settings probably to confirm what they believe to be the issue.

One thing to note is I just realized one of the small screws on the hub holding to motor is missing. I wonder if junk could get into the hub through it.

here is another vid

[Franky]

Also got my fender today. Yay? Lol

[parrothd]

Added a little carbon fiber... :)
