<p>Noahsw: /* Tips */ link for mini pump</p> <hr /> <div>== Warning ==<br /> No one seems to have found the perfect method. There is always a risk that you can travel with your board to your destination without issue, then run into trouble on your return flight home. However, the tips below are from folks that have successfully made the journey.<br /> <br /> == Key decision ==<br /> The community is split as to whether you should a) carry-on the entire board, b) check the entire board, or c) carry-on the battery and check the wheel (the board can go with either one as long as battery is disconnected from wheel).<br /> <br /> Many have found success with all options. However, it seems like the only 100% success method is carrying-on the battery and checking the rest.<br /> <br /> == Tips ==<br /> # *Never* call it a hoverboard. Confidence is everything!

It was an agent in the baggage department. The agent said, "you've got some kind of hoverboard in your luggage." I explained that it wasn't a hoverboard and there is was evidence that these caued fires; I had also packed the documentation showing it's safety record and battery testing. For them, the fact that it had a lithium-based battery meant that there was no way it could go on the plane. Fortunately, this happened in my home town and I had someone come by and pick up the bag. <br /> |Eddie R.<br /> [https://www.facebook.com/eduardo.rooke]<br /> |}</div>

Tire slime comes with one and I do suggest it. I will talk about that later on..<br /> <gallery><br /> 1467845913740-img 20160706 185547.jpg<br /> 1467845928260-img 20160706 185600.jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> Time to remove the old tire.. it can be tricky by hand.. a set of tire spoons will help. Do not use screw drivers.. tire spoons are cheap .. or a local bike shop can do it.. but that's money were all trying to save.. if you get spoons try not to scratch up the inside of the rim because you don't want to leak air later on..<br /> <br /> Also make sure when removing the tire the side with the air valve is up.. the tire ONLY comes off in one direction and installs the same way..<br /> <gallery><br /> 1467846265164-img 20160706 185931.jpg<br /> 1467846274740-img 20160706 185918.jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> Done...<br /> <gallery><br /> 1467846439975-img 20160706 185950.jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> I forgot to mention...buy a small 4oz bottle of tire slime for 6$... the factory used it and I also recommend it. tire was also bought from tsracing.com they are alot of help if you call.. they sell the Onewheel too so they know what tire you need..<br /> <br /> I highly recommend the same tire.. DO NOT get a treaded tire.. it's dangerous because larger rocks can get jammed and end ending results would not be good.. there probably is a harder compound slick tire with the same size but i never checked. Also I highly recommend staying with vega tires because not all companies make them the exact same size even with the exact same number..<br /> <br /> First hand experience with the Hoosier treaded D30A 11.0x6.5-6 nearly 400 miles on my v1. I don't have any problems with small or large rocks getting caught up and I ride gravel often enough to think it would have happened by now. In fact with the Vega tire I would occasionally have to stop to remove a stuck rock before it gouges the tire and I've never had to with the treaded. There are however clearance issues with the Hoosier above 15psi and I'm looking for a solution to that. <br /> <br /> [[Tire]] <br /> === Videos ===<br /> <br /> ===== Full video from start to finish: =====<br /> <youtube width="500">mvYwKyLpYgU</youtube><br /> <br /> ===== Wheel removal: =====<br /> <youtube width="500">euqGyf_DFT8</youtube> <br /> <br /> The plus is slightly different since it doesn't have a bolt through the axle. <br /> <br /> ===== Tire removal: =====<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |-<br /> !

It was an agent in the baggage department. The agent said, "you've got some kind of hoverboard in your luggage." I explained that it wasn't a hoverboard and there is was evidence that these caued fires; I had also packed the documentation showing it's safety record and battery testing. For them, the fact that it had a lithium-based battery meant that there was no way it could go on the plane. Fortunately, this happened in my home town and I had someone come by and pick up the bag. <br /> |Eddie R.<br /> [https://www.facebook.com/eduardo.rooke]<br /> |}</div>

Onewheel<br /> <br /> Sometimes the OW does not go into its charge mode automatically. Simply press the power button in this case.<br /> <br /> When you’re done charging, I suggest turning off the solar charge converter first before unplugging anything. Then disconnect the battery. Then unplug from Onewheel.<br /> <br /> Charging Onewheel to 100% is safe. You’ll see the amps ramp down on the solar charge converter display as you enter “trickle charge” mode.
