I don't generally carry a pump with me for weight, but I do have one (rechargeable with a digital pressure gauge built in). If you're going to be out in the middle of nowhere, or are switching back and forth between street and trail (so you might want to raise/lower PSI on the fly), it's not a bad thing to have.
I also generally don't carry my charger with me for weight but when I do, I carry it in this - the foam insert can be cut to snugly fit 1 XR charger brick; remove it entirely and it will fit 2. Case is semi-hard and padded to protect charger, and also semi-flexible and padded with rounded corners to protect your back if you fall on it (also flat and wide, to spread that impact over a larger area of your back).

26 bucks. Cut into 4 even squares. I used my old prorides as a guide for the last cut. They are the same thing.
at the store, just put it in your shopping cart.
if it will be out of your sight for any length of time, the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit has been recommended here.
if you only need to prevent a regular pick-up-and-walk-off theft, a regular cable bike lock should be enough -- but anyone with a little time or tools can get through those rather quickly.
Round analog one, not actually this one but like this one. The pencil-shaped analog gauges with a stick that pops out reading the pressure aren't as accurate in my experience.
Digital is fine but I had one without a replaceable battery, don't like that when the battery dies the gauge does too.
To answer the next question, bike pump.
In addition to this, guitar stands make great upright onewheel stands. Ones of this style work best

As a driver, I dislike blinking lights on bikers. My brain is constantly calculating where the person is between blinks when I should be focused on the road with full awareness of the biker's position. But some motion is good to get noticed. So I got this for the back of my helmet because it has a moving, but always on "double comet" rotating effect. I'd prefer it were a little brighter, but so far I can tell drivers are noticing me from their behavior, even in challenging dusk conditions.
I've been very happy with this flashlight. Fits in a pocket, the rotating dial is great for one-handed mode switches, has a strobe to get attention, the high brightness mode lasts longer than a ride, the turbo is crazy bright, and the medium mode with 10 hours run time is bright enough for 95% of a ride.
Throw these in your OW backpack for next time:
NP! Obviously if we were all made of money, we'd replace the helmet anytime it touched the ground. But for most of us that's not realistic, and IMO the most important thing is to wear a helmet; you're already taking the biggest step you can to mitigate your risk with that, so tolerating at least a few small hits before you replace an $80 item seems an acceptable risk to me.
That said, I've seen what look like perfectly decent (non-MIPS, but still skate-certified) helmets in the $30 range on Amazon, so maybe the answer IS to replace them after every hit...but just buy cheaper helmets.
Like this looks like a perfectly-nice helmet to me:
You've got the flowchart, but please also read this page, and look at the .gif at the bottom showing good body positioning. Never "lean" to go - instead, shift hips back and forth, extending one knee/leg while retracting the other, as though the front pad is a gas pedal and the back pad a brake pedal. And always accelerate gradually and gently (never "leadfoot" it), especially from a dead stop or uphill or into a headwind, anytime the motor is working hardest. Use switchbacks on steep inclines to reduce the grade, and if you feel the board surging (rushing to keep under you) that should be treated like pushback, as a warning to back off because the board can't give what you're asking.
Here's some good wristguards with hand/finger protection (I assume you have a helmet, if you don't, get one).

Edit: this one
I have a Thousand Helmet that I like. It's comfortable and the magnetic buckle is a nice quality of life feature.
I also picked up a TSG Pass since I found them in stock on Amazon.
I mostly wear the Thousand for daily cruising, especially since it's getting into the 90's here and is quite warm. Once the weather starts to cool off I plan to swap to the TSG.
MTB helmets tend to offer more face protection than skate (they frequently have a chinguard) and they tend to be pretty well-ventilated, as bike helmets.
Something like this (the chinguard is removable, which is kinda cool).
Always check your hill slope calculator before attempting a hill!
Kidding. If my nose is close to the ground on the way up I'll turn so I'm going at an angle across the slope. If it looks steep on the way down I'll take it slow enough to jump off and be prepared for a tail drag. Hasn't been much of an issue.
Someone else posted this. They are using these lights. The OP from that post shared a link the comments. Hope This helps you. Float on my dudes and dudets.
You can also buy a battery pack with a 12V output. It basically puts some double A's in series to get the right amount of power. I'm not sure about rules posting links but here is the one I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D1J6R29?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I will say, having the whole setup under my board does kinda stay on my mind as I ride (does it work, will it fall off, etc). So I take it off during normal use and slap it on for fancy rides.

Instead of a just a cheap digital gauge, consider getting one that's also a small handheld battery-operated pump, so you can quickly top it off if needed. Also useful to throw in your backpack if you are going to be on trails one part of your day, and pavement the other part. I've been using this one for a while, it's fine, there are other similar options in the same price range:

OW lights are more like signal lights than anything you'd want to use to actually see. I wear a headlamp on my helmet, slightly off-center so it's always pointing forward.
I haven’t been able to evenly seat my bearings as I’d like with just using a driver and mallet. So I caved and got this. I did check and it will easily fit an XR motor for height, with the Xtra Rad for width. There’s plenty of room to work with.
EDIT: realised you just said "no phone"... I think there's a third party app that does this. I'll get back to you if i find it
EDIT2: found it! I haven't tried it myself. It's a premium app for android wear devices, but this link is fir the free trial version so you cam verify it works for you before buying: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.toothr.oww.free
I think the official OW app has at least a speedometer and battery monitoring on Android wear devices. But board is then connected via the phone i think, and sends the info to the watch. Havent gotten my board yet, but i bought a Ticwatch E for this specific reason, and have the app installed in the watch. But havent been able to try it yet since i dont have the board.
It's actually because their forum is hosted by nodebb.org, and is using their certificate, but the domain isn't valid for it as it's on community.onewheel.com

Glad to hear it's been good to you!
All reviews are appreciated as I'm still trying to get some traction with it. 🙂
Digital gauges are good, but I prefer the circular analog gauges because they'll work forever. It's only the stick gauges that are inaccurate. Compressors are good too, but this does the job well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BVOUI32?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details it only takes maybe 5 pumps to add a PSI. Bodyweight in pounds divided by 10 = PSI is a good starting point. You can add or reduce pressure from there to taste.
I'm not sure what you are describing with that noise but nosies over bumps aren't uncommon. There is a standard growl when changing directions forward/backward that might also happen over bumps.
i just got
i like em but i didnt get a chance to ride in the real hot summer with them
IMO The best advice I could give anyone would be to Take it slow and build up your skill in safe places, while being cautious to not push either your limits or those of the board(and your riding profile) too far. If your leg(s) feel shaky or your feet hurt, stop in a safe place and walk it out a bit, do some stretching, point the toe, then get back on.
Don't just put the thing right into mission / delirium or whatever custom settings the internet said to use. Learn to control it in one of the 1st two modes, being cautious not to push it too fast as these aren't really meant for speed. They have a much more forgiving reaction to your input, which was great for learning for me initially, and is now helping me build confidence riding switch and goofy(I usually ride mission or delirium in regular stance).
Over-confidence combined with an incomplete understanding of the board and the finer points of not only "leaning where you want to go" but using your whole body to control it more intuitively. This is definitely the culprit behind both of my "bad" crashes in week 1 of street riding.
As for maintaining balance at a stop, I will concede that it's pretty difficult and is the most common reason I have to bail.
You could get yourself one if these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CM7T9EW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_P5NTQRJZP907J5C1WYHE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I had something very similar as a kid and can't b help but think that my time spent on the "Bongo Board" helped prepare me for the onewheel in some way.

I was thinking it would be a slick way to have multiple setups depending on what I was doing.

I don't recommend anyone try to cut plugs off AC cords and swap them, too easy for a bad solder job to fray and cause a worse problem.
I’ve been using this. I use it attached to my helmet. It uses usb c to recharge, is water resistant, and it’s zoomable so you can change it’s beam range. The brightest mode is more than bright enough and as far as I can tell doesn’t dim over time. Another good option would be something like the sofirn sp31 v2.0 especially the lh351d version.
I don't have a particular one that I recommend. The ones I got have kind of a bad app, but they work.
I got these but I don't really like the app very much, so I would look for other if I were you. There are a ton of options out there.
I use TireJect with my whisper and don’t have any issues with it sealing cuts in the tire. I’m not sure where everybody gets this fear of “blowouts” from with the whisper. The tire is not going to explode with the pressures being run on a Onewheel

for point #2, try wearing different shoes and see if the problem goes away. also, it's worth trying to put some sticky furniture pads on both sides of the sensor, under your front foot. it helps with the pressure on the pad.
They are thin, but with a slime equivalent (I use this) and kept fully inflated (I keep it between 21-25 PSI) they can last plenty long. I was hoping to get 1000 miles out of mine, so far I have about 2500. I know that's not typical, but they last plenty long for the joy they give.
Best one Xiaomi
Agree with others, that big hard case is more a danger to you than it's worth as far as protecting the charger.
I use one of these: I've removed/cut out some of the foam insert so that it fits the charger brick snugly, and if you remove the foam insert entirely, the case fits two charger bricks snugly (I can chain two XR chargers together to fast-charge). Case is semi-hard (but flexes) and has a little padding around the edges also to protect the contents, and the corners are rounded to minimize the pain if you fall on it, and case is wide and flat to spread the impact out over a larger area. Seems like a good compromise between protecting the charger, and protecting my back. Note also that my backpack has a spine protector between me and this case.
I have a neck speaker that wasn't too expensive and is easy to use - it sounds 'ok' but the usability is super high. Can hear stuff, easy to remember you need to turn down to hear a conversation, not so loud it ever annoys anyone.

Gear up and enjoy yourself.
What helmet do you wear that it let that much trauma get through?
I bought this in 2020 and really like it to wear with my wrist guards and knee pads. It runs small so get larger than you wear. I'm 6'1" 250lbs I bought 3X (usually wear 2XL) and it is snug. I put it on and throw a tee shirt over it, it's a tad too cosplay for my tastes otherwise.

Saw a post where u/punch_you was using this backpack.
Looks like a nice backpack, and has a built in bladder. Been thinking about buying it myself.
Depending on how muddy you are talking of course! But I start with a stiff brush and get as much dried loose stuff off. Then move to a grip tape eraser. You can buy one from any skateboard/OW company, but they'll charge you 20$ for the privilege. Here's the exact same thing for 4$ from the Amazon

I have this pump/gauge combo and love it. You can get a separate pump and gauge for cheaper, but I like how easy this makes pumping your tire to the right amount of pressure you want and it's nicer having to carry just one thing instead of two.
Not sure what kind of hip injury you have, but I wear these padded shorts underneath my pants every ride, they've taken a couple hip strikes on concrete. It didn't feel GOOD, but it didn't even bruise. Well worth 30 bucks to prevent re-injury.
I bought this guitar stand for my Pint. It's actually pretty damn good for $28. You barely see the stand once the board is on it. And the stand itself is tiny and compact. Has foam padding and the tire doesn't rest on anything, so no deformation.
It is not riduclous at all. I have an Airflite Icon for winter. It has been the best purchase ever. Though, I don't have built in bluetooth. My parter and I got the Sena SMH10-11 and they work great.

I absolutely love having LEDs on the board! The majority of the riding that I do is at dusk or after dark. I feel like they do a great job at helping drivers see me better.
I went with this particular option just because they were only $12 and I didn't know how well they would fit on the board or if they could take a beating. So far they have stuck really well and fit great. However one of the LEDs is a bit discolored compared to the rest after a few rides. It doesn't bother me so I'm going to leave them on until they don't work anymore.
Lessons learned/other thoughts: If price is not a concern - I've seen some really super bright LEDs on some boards that act as additional lighting for the rider. The LEDs that I purchased are bright enough and provide some ground visibility but they don't throw off too much more light than the stock headlight/tail light on the board.
The battery case for the lights that I ordered was not waterproof. I bought some flex seal-like spray on rubber for $10 (additional cost but I have other plans for the spray as well) from Home Depot to waterproof it. However there are options on Amazon with waterproof battery cases. Not sure how much bigger they are but the battery case for the one I purchased fits perfectly under the back foot pad (using velcro) and provides plenty of ground clearance.
Overall I would say that I am completely happy with the setup.

I used an industrial strength double sided adhesive strip..
Measure and trim your veneer to shape for the rail.
Pull out a strip of the adhesive tape and trim it to fit the veneer you just cut out.
Pull one side of the adhesive tape backing off and attach the tape to the veneer. Carefully set aside so it doesn't stick to anything.
Clean the shit out of your rails with rubbing alcohol and let dry.
Carefully pick up your veneer without touching the adhesive. Pull off the other side of the adhesive strip backing and stick it very very lightly to the rail to ensure good fit. If it fits good, press all the adhesive down and make sure it sticks really good. If you missed, attempt to pull it back up carefully and try again.
Use some kind of finish on the wood to ensure longevity/durability. (I used wipe on polyurethane.)
Yeah, looks like Amazon has a decent set of pads (elbow, wrist, knee) for just over $20. Teenage me is shaking his head in disapproval, but old, fat, decrepit current-day me really does not want to spend two weeks gimping around after a low-speed spill.
That's my guess too. I have ordered some plugs on amazon to test. If it's not these, then I will have to make my own hacky connector. Only 3 of the pins are actually used.
I never knew people varied their psi so much. But I got this for 36$ on amazon
Oasser Portable Air Compressor Mini Air Inflator Hand Held Tire Pump with Digital LCD LED Light Li-ion 12V 150PSI for Car Bicycle RV and Other Inflatables P1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K8J9WQB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BSQfDb4P04ZDM
could custom set my psi for the day !
I have the same printer. While everyone is correct in saying you can handle the higher temps, you need to be careful because of the PTFE hotend it comes with stock. The PTFE tubing in the hotend starts to get mushy around 245 and printing too long at this temperature will eventually result in a clog. I upgraded mine to the Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend and never looked back. Higher, more consistent print temps as well as better looking prints overall!
I use this $10 digital gauge. It's simple and works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SJ9XSY
A normal bike pump is fine, as long as you can fit it into the awkwardly-sharp angle of the onewheel tire's valve.
I use this, no complaints (make sure to clip that coupon for 5% off). Gauge and pump all in one, and small/light enough to throw in your backpack, which can be useful if you're planning on riding on different terrain (offroad, you generally want a lower PSI than on pavement, so this allows you to quickly and easily change your PSI on the fly).
I spent a little extra and got the JACO Elite Digital Tire Pressure Gauge. It reads within two-tenths (0.2) psi of what my inflator says, so as far as I can tell it's well-calibrated. I'm about 185 lbs and I usually aim for a little under 10% of my weight as my target pressure (so 17.5-18 psi) for riding mostly on smooth tarmac and road surfaces. Being able to keep my pressure in my Goldilocks zone really improves my overall experience and helps improve tire mileage (unless you just absolutely tear them). (edited with link to my inflator)
Here's the boost converter/regulator that I'm using: Drok Numerical Control Regulator DC 8V-60V to 10V-120V 15A Boost Converter, Constant Step Up Module Adjustable Output 48V 24V 12V DC Power Supply with Led Display
Whisper >>> FFT2 on pavement. It's not even close. The Whisper is a joy to ride, the FFT2 is work. If you ride 60% or more pavement, go Whisper and don't look back - it's even "sticky" enough to hold its own on trails, so you're not really even losing out on much trail functionality.
Only go FFT2 if you are nearly always off-pavement, and you MUST have tread. Otherwise the tradeoff just isn't worth it IMO.
For either tire, slime it. I have used this with no issues - use about 5-6 oz., no more than 8 oz. at the absolute max (any more than that and it can cause the tire to get unbalanced).
*buy a fender" for real, you need it. For cheap started pads I bought these (mostly for knee/elbow): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W17FTZT But I don't like the wrist braces in the above set, so I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012ANP4CI Seem to work well enough.
I got this Troy Lee Designs State helmet ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DV5DKFF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Z4PwFbPEGWJP4 ) and it's great if you want a full face helmet that stays cool. Recently I've been thinking about trying some smaller tricks and realized I'd really like to be able to look down and see my feet. I'm going to get a Triple 8 Sweatsaver for when I'm just messing around in from of my house or nearby.
You could try a tubeless tire repair kit. They’re used for car tires so depending on the shape and size of the hole it could hold. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Victor-22-5-00106-8-Heavy-Tubeless-Repair/dp/B000AMOEGY/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=car+tire+repair&qid=1598300781&sr=8-8
I know it’s silly, but I have one of these tiny speakers on a carabiner attached to my backpack strap. It works great and it close enough to my face so I can hear the music clearly without bothering others around me. Also works if it’s clipped to my belt loop. Definitely a good option if you’re not comfortable with headphones.

LEDs are awesome and these work great! So many patterns too!
Don’t stop there. Do IFR immediately after. It’ll tighten up your tolerances and a lot of the stuff that’s not clear to you now will be after that. Makes you a much safer pilot. Also, read some incident reports and study some crashes. It’ll teach you a lot. Read this also. Know the reasons for and effects of wing sweep and dihedral/anhedral angles. I’m sure your instructor will tell you, but always know what’s in the logbooks of your check ride plane and never ever offer more info to a DPE than they asked for. Many a student have failed the ride because they talked themselves into more questions than they were asked.
I'm planning on putting on a motorcycle jacket, dressing in all black, and putting on one of those light-up purge masks you can find on amazon. And then I'll just ride around and have fun.

I went through this last month and I settled on...
Dog Squeaky Toy! Amazon Squeaky Toys
I got a pack of four really small ones on Amazon for $9.99. I keep one in my pocket.
When people get thick, I keep it in my hand and just give it a couple squeezes. People turn to see what it is. Dogs think I'm their friend and squirrels get out of the way because they think it's the danger call.
Hey there - 7 months, 650 miles, 1 nosedive reporting in:
I use this full-face helmet: amazon
And this set of wrist/knee/elbow pads: amazon
They have been pretty much perfect. The helmet in particular, great quality for the price. However, I'm riding in 60-80F weather. if you're in a much hotter area, full-face is probably not the way to go.
I never went with any collarbone/shoulder/back protection. You want your safety gear to be convenient - if it's an annoyance putting on 10 pieces of gear, you might find excuses to not put them all on ("it's only a 10 min ride").
When I had problems with my board "ghosting" and taking off on me, I had the same fears. Ordered a stand up paddleboard leash off of Amazon for like 12 bucks. It wraps very securely around the rail and the ankle strap can be secured to your arm or backpack. When my board would take off on me I would just tug it over onto it's side.
GPS for my wrist.

Strap this to my wrist so I can monitor my speed.
Doesn't seem like I'm going very fast but often see I'm exceeding 20 mph so I back off.
After two nose dives I'm a bit leary of going too fast.
Having this gives me peace of mind being able to easily check my speed.
Tried strapping my smart phone to my wrist but it didn't work so well.
I remember someone saying this Neewer bag would fit a Onewheel in it. Been thinking about buying it but I would honestly rather save for a Superow since you can use it as a backpack instead of as a shoulder bag.
I don't own these, but I use a lot of triple8 gear and I've never had it fail on me.
sure -- like two of these, cut to fit on your board in two lines, one for under the ball of your feet, one for under your heel side, running from your wheel to the nose:
You could put two furniture sticker pads on your footpad to add more direct pressure on the sensor:
