loosing power and torque after big crash ??

[onewheeladventur]

hi everyone thanks for your time, i got in many accident with my onewheel but i think the last one the board dindt really like it. I'm feeling going less faster and even no be able to go up hill i could easily do before, acceleration is less receptive as well. I'm earing some noise on stationary position and wondering if this never happen to anyone before will post a video of the noise once home. thanks

@onewheeladventur can you summarize what happened? As rugged as they are they can be damaged. If you're hearing a noise that could be the board telling you it needs factory love, and the difference in performance isn't a good sign. One thing I always do after a wipeout is turn it off and let it sit for a bit, then power it back on. So far that's always resolved any weirdness.

I have had my OW for 2 weeks now and love it ! - I have had 4 hard crashes and took a few days off to heal my wounds. I made sure I had a full charge before i met up with a friend who just purchased his OW and we went for a ride , the first hill I took was rather slow and the OW stalled and shut off while I was on it. I reset it and it continued to dog it up the very same hills I cruised up before with no issues before. my Buddy's OW was brand new and just cruised up the same hill effortlessly .
mine is not making any weird noises-sounds normal , Whats going on here ? any Idea ?

@Rob-Thome' are you in classic or extreme mode? When you start your ride at 100% charge are you going uphill or downhill? Are you keeping your front foot over both sensors?

yes sir, fresh off the charger full load in elevated or extreme it happens as i'm going up hill. Down hill and flats are fine .

@Rob-Thome' I'm wondering if the hills you're going up are steep. If not you may want to reach out to customer service, but if they are it may be another issue. When I first started riding, I had real difficulty making it to the top of steeper hills, and like you I had several wipeouts getting pitched over the nose (they particularly sucked because I was not expecting to get pitched while riding uphill). No issues near the bottom / early part of a steep hill (as I had momentum), but as I lost momentum, I'd press on the front pad; and after a few wipes, I figured out that if you do that too hard while going up a steep hill, it nosedives- quick. Turns out there's a little bit of an art to getting up steep hills. I tackle them almost straight up for the opening stretch, to build max momentum. That first moment I sense I'm losing momentum, I put pressure on the front pad (while at the same time not leaning too far into it- key going up steeper hills) and that gives me a boost. The second time I feel I'm losing momentum, I cut backside across the hill, as that changes (reduces) the uphill angle and lets the board sort of get caught up after an aggressive uphill stretch. From there I do switchbacks until I make it to the top.

well I'm comparing this experience before and after the crashes - before I went up those very same hills with amazing speeds ,I'm 220 lbs and thought the issue maybe that my buddy was 70 pounds lighter So I told him that was probably why but when I rode his new OW , I flew up the same hills just like mine did when it was new, is there a way to "reset" them back to default ?

[groovyruvy]

@Rob-Thome' I don't understand the question about resetting, but if you're saying that before a hard crash your board made it up the hills no problem, and now after a hard crash you're having ongoing and repeated issues, reach out to customer service and see what they have to say.

what i meant by resetting was like any electronic device (PC) sometimes rebooting clears the problem. I did power cycle it and no change ,so I will contact customer care to see what they have to say ...thanks !

Did you check it is still in extreme mode?

@Rob-Thome' I have been having the exact same problem! I can't figure out what it is, but going up hills now is very labored, where before it was a breeze. Were you able to resolve the issue?
