I Can't Believe My DIY Onewheel Works!

In part 2 of this series I continue work on the DIY Onewheel project. I started by designing the frame and enclosures on the computer using CAD software. Next I drilled various holes in some aluminum rectangular tubing to use for the frame. I 3D printed various enclosures, bumpers, and footpads and assembled all the parts. Finally I demonstrated my self balancing skateboard as a working prototype.

How to videos need to be long to be helpful. Maybe break these videos up into more specific sections to give us more videos with shorter watch times? Might make searching for specific issues easier for following along too.

For measuring the width, simply place the wheel on a really flat surface. Use a square to butt up against the point on the axel, mark a point on the surface, do it for both sides and measure the distance between the two points.

A nice simple and fun looking build! Didn't know the VESC firmware had so much built in. If you plan to ride this a lot, next time you have it apart, put some heatshrink(Or rubber grommets) around the main battery cables where they pass through the aluminium tube, over time any burrs on the inside you missed will cut through the soft silicon and you'll be very glad the batteries have fuses! :) (It can also cut through PVC, but far, far slower. Silicon is just so easy to split!)

So fascinating. I wish I had the tools to work on making my own, because it definitely seems plausible. Hell, this makes me wonder when a proper competitor to Onewheel is going to come by, because they certainly could use the competition. Especially in Canada. It's hard to get one here for a decent price, and if a competitor popped up in Canada at a significant decrease in price, it would probably sell like wild! Very interesting, very cool. I love watching builds of things.

@bytesizedengineering 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I think competition would do well in this case. I'm pretty sure onewheel has patents that they want to protect and will sue anybody that infringes on those patents. You should check out my other projects. I'm sure you would enjoy those as well!

@Srcsqwrn 2 жыл бұрын

@@bytesizedengineering Yeah, patents are tricky to work around. I still wonder if there's any way to have proper competition. Onewheel is just a monopoly with it's product, basically. I'll probably take a look into your other vids, thanks!

@bytesizedengineering 2 жыл бұрын

I had hoped to do just that. But as I learned more about lithium battery packs, I learned that in order to get the 48V, the battery has to be a certain length. I couldn't really fit another battery on the other side along with everything else. It would have made the board even longer and it's already longer than I wanted. This was a prototype so there are things I want to improve. The balance is really not an issue. It's not even noticeable once you're riding it.
