Awesome, fair play to you! My friend built his own XR-style one wheel. It's what got me into one wheel. His also has a problem with no pushback, he has fallen a few times. Let me know if you manage to fix the pushback, my friend would be grateful! Happy riding
Once you got used to it, pushback not even matter and i had this front roller also to prevent me front nose diving. Other than that, feels like the real one.
Congratulations, great job! could you explain to me how you connected the two motherboard outputs to the single gyro? I have cables with a different color and I used the position of the pins as a reference. Thank you.
Hi what is that on your gyroscope? Right next to where you soldered on the sensor on the gyroscope board I see another little sister board soldered onto the four-prong connector?
Hello, i connected two 6.5" engines together and now i have dimensions 4.13-4.8 inches, and your tire is bigger - 6.00-5. it's almost 2 inches wider and inner 0.2 inches bigger. How did you fit that?
Great videoo 🎉 also we are trying to build one.. can you tell us what size of bolt did u use for joining both motors.. didn't the bolthead obstructed motor coil?
How were you able to get both motors to turn in the same direction? I switched two of my leads on one of the motors thinking it would rotate the opposite directions but it just made vibrating noises and didn't move. Sweet video tho!
Hall sensor cables need to be rearranged, each motor had differently colored cables: what you need to do is swap the pins for the two outermost hall sensors. The wires for the 2 attach to the motor board around the same place as the connections of the sensors.
Awesome dude! I I was just hatching this idea until I went to TH-cam😹 Why do we need positive and negative platforms? how are they connected to the motherboard? thanks ✌️
I think it works too, as long as it does have the 3 boards which is the 2 gyro sensors and the motherboard. But mostly, those 250watts are only comes with 2 gyros and you can’t use that before it doesn’t have the switch. Because you are going to need that for foot switch.
@@youngy7449 join the two wires in the same sequence number. The middle two wires number 2 and 3 has to be the same position. So, join the number 1 gyro ( wire # 2 and 3) into number 2 gyro (wire #2 and 3) Sometimes, the color aren’t the same as the first gyro.
@@pnoybiritph3993 Thank you this is a very cool project.Other people use 3d printed parts but thanks to you my onewheel will be as strong as the original
700wtts yes, too weak if under that power. Wheel tire is 11/6-5 ( 11’height) (6’ width) (5’ rim diameter) the rim diameter has to be shaved a little for it to fit into the hoverboard rim. Since the hoverboard rim diameter is over 5’ maybe 1/4 more.
@@pnoybiritph3993 nice, thanks!! Also for the footpad sensor you put a copper layer which is the positive then a velostat layer (do you only put velostat only on left side as on your video or you need to put it on both sides ? ) then another cooper layer which is negative...solder the wires to positive and negative layer and then those wires go to the Gyro? Can you share me a schematic of this please ?
Sorry me again, when you combine the two gyros you also combine positive and negative? or just the middle ones? And once you rewire the gyro you only keep one right? The one you keep is the non battery side?
@@royvelesp No, i’ll will short circuit your gyro. Your other gyro is already running the + - and once you connect the sensor it will also power up the other gyro.
Hey, great job! Real nice work. I'm building one exactly like yours from your video and have a question if you don't mind. The 2 gyro boards that are wired together is that really necessary or could you also use only one gyro? I was thinking that as now there are potentially two different outputs of the gyro right? Or do they combine into one signal for both motors? Also how did you layout the gyros on the footboard? I couldn't tell from your picture. Are they flat on the wood as well or on the inside the rail? Are they front-to-front, back-to-back or back-to-front (if it even matters). I'm more of a wood-working guy so the electronics confuse me a bit. Appreciate the help if you have the time. Keep up the great the projects!
I did test speed on this and it was reading on gps at 36 kph. There is a website hack for this kind of motherboard but I wouldn’t go for that upgrade yet. I was doing some research about how im going to add pushback feature since it’s scary to ride when you push it to the limit. But now, im enjoying riding at my cruising speed @ 10-14mph.
Hey great job!! I go to make one like yours, but I have a question. What size were the wheels of your hoverboard? I was looking for info, and I saw 3 sizes 6.5, 8 and 10. I guess that's the entire wheel size, but maybe one of this sizes is the perfect size for the project?
@@Kitesurferos i think that’s the total wattage of two motors 360 wtts. You have to get those 700 watts total for two motors. Before you buy, check for the hoverboard spec, some hoverboard has 24v and you have to get the 36v with 350wtts in each wheel with total power of 700wtt.
It depends on how wide and how long is your footpad. If you are going to use the onewheel xr bumper, I suggest that you need to install the wheel with tire in the rail and do the measurement. So you know how far is the wheel and bumper from each other before you cut the desire length of the rails.
@@pnoybiritph3993 I meant what part of the rail pieces does each number represent? Like what part of the c-channel rail is 1 1/2? Also, what kind of range are you getting out of this thing?
Awesome vid, I’m starting mine soon. Quick question, after you joined the motor hubs together and put it in the tire with the tube what’s on the outside holding everything in? It looks like a custom hubcap or something, where did you get that?
36v hoverboard are 350 wtts each motor. There are sticker underneath the hoverboard which tells you the battery voltage. Once you bolt on the two hubs, you will need to shave the middle wall so you can insert the tire. And the outside holding the tire are the motor cover. Check my other video in the beginning of this project.
@@Rdrooger I assumed all the 36v with 4.4 amp are rated to 350wtts motor. When i started this project, I didn’t know that there are so many 24v also which rated to 250wtts which is too weak to start. I found that the 36v 4.4amp are basically 350watts motor. You just need to look for spec specially the the amp of the battery.
He obviously already has skills but he's learned something that he previously didn't know in the process here. We should all be doing things like this.
@@jasnromig2007 it’s all good, i almost bought one when i got a chance to ride it and then tried to make DIY the feeling is almost identical it just the pushback feature aren’t there.
can you please put the link for that hoverboard in the description or in the answer for that comment becouse i have been looking for that hoverboard but i can only find ones for 100 $?
I can guarantee you this doesn’t preform any where near what an XR will. Not to mention this isn’t a 100 dollar build you can’t even get a hover board for that.
@@Nick-xs9zu ok so say you can get a hover board for 50$ which are probably super under powered you would still need to buy the onewheel tire which the cheapest ones I’ve seen cost 89$. All I’m saying is this can not be built for a 100 bucks.
@@justinsmith8099 I’m working on a similar project. I got tires for free from a karting place and a hoverboard used for 25 bucks. I’ve had someone offer me XR bumpers for 15, the rails can’t be extremely expensive either. You really can get this cheap.
Hey PinoyBirit! If you're currently in the Philippines and are up for it, would you be down if I send you all the parts and fees and have you build one? I don't mind if it'll take months hehe. Let me know man!
You know what bro, I would love too but I am currently out of Pinas. Maybe when i get back there i will help you. Even if you try to send it to my place it would cost you same as the original onewheel. Wait for my return...

A real one wheel goes 15 miles an hour comfortably even faster if you wanted and goes 12 to 18 miles for the XR this probably goes to miles and a max speed of 7 miles an hour and it is a very weak motor it knows dives constantly as you can see in the video I guess you get what you pay for
you are a genius! it looks exactly like an original onewheel.
Can you do a full build tutorial? Or at least a more in depth video?
it could have been better if you showed how to wire all the stuff because most people have never done this before. But overall good job
So skillfull and creative! Could be a great way to introduce friends or family to the onewheel world, with this as a 2nd board 🙌
You bet

The 2 hall sensor of the motor connected or 1 ? Thanks
Only one side of the motor need to rewire for you to able to match the turning direction of the other motor.
@@pnoybiritph3993 thanks you
what did you use for a bottom panel to hold the electronics, wood or did the xr body come with something to hold it?
Wood to hold the battery, motherboard, and sensor with aluminum underneath the wood for protection from heavy impact
