you may have seen these around it's the one wheel plus XR I've been riding it for over two months now put 250 miles on this thing and boy it's addictive your friends think I'm crazy because I ride it all over New York City the one wheel plus XR is more than just an A to B travel product it might even be intimidating at first but once you get used to it you won't want to get all the Nightrider the first glance most associated with the skateboard but it rides and handles more like a snowboard or surfboard it may look like something that requires a lot of time to learn but it's easy to pick up although hard to master once you do that's when the addiction kicks in you got it already the one wheel plus XR can pretty much go anywhere it's fitted with a Vega go-cart tire that has no problem taking on grass gravel dirt and of course pavement with more torque than its predecessor than one wheel plus the XR takes hills with no problems and does it quietly with its precious motor the board is self balancing riders shift their weight foot to foot to go on a desired direction and a dismount you can either jump off or tiptoe then step off this is done by lifting the heel of the foot that's on the pad with the blue line through it there are two sensors under the pad and when the foot is flat across the board is active but if any part of the foot is on one side of the blue line the board will come to a stop depending on a rider's size the board can go approximately 20 miles an hour and travel a distance of 12 to 18 miles on a full charge with me being a plus-sized reviewer I was able to get about 16 to 17 miles per hour and get about 16 miles distance so Joe and I'll give you the shift off that can also vary depending on what board settings are used in addition to hills and terrain when I speak of settings I'm refering to the digital shaping these are different ride settings for Hills environment speed etc they could be unlocked and changed in the iOS or Android app in addition to that users can view battery life and current board speed there's even a social aspect where you can locate other one wheelers I know when one guy's name was Stevie Wonder with two A's a nice addition worth mentioning is once the battery is at fifty percent the app will notify you so you have enough juice to get home the app can also tell you when the board is fully charged when plugged in for those in a rush to get back outside it has LED lights on the front and back depending on the direction of traveling the forward light will be white and the rear one will be red in the after is even a switch to toggle those lights on and off the only time having the one wheel plus XR wasn't enjoyable was when it needed to be carried there's a handle that makes transporting it easy but it weighs about 30 pounds the board is very well constructed and durable like I mentioned before I'm not a small guy and I rode that thing all over New York City the town built around potholes after riding it for a couple of months the most intimidating thing to me is its price eighteen hundred dollars but I understand you get what you pay for the bagpipes this is a really good monkey I'm gonna keep running
