Legit DIY Onewheel XR build guide

maybe yes but for now our hands are pretty full

Dangit

So sad I missed this… If you make another order, me and my roomate would each like one.

Oh no, I missed the rail kit with a few days it seems - just found this thread today :slightly_frowning_face:

I don’t have access to a fancy workshop, so buying something like this would have been perfect for me.

You can still checkout the hoverboard onewheel threads. The inputs on rails are still good

Enginir’s kit does look nice but there is still work to be done by the end user. The big task being to build a battery pack. I ended up buying a kWeld but I have other projects where I need to build battery packs.

My hopes is that if Enginir comes out with a new frame kit in the future that he is able to source motor/wheels with a 6 inch diameter so that standard Onewheel tires will be a direct fit. That would be a really awesome kit.

Yea, I wasn’t looking for a complete finished product - I’m more than willing to do stuff, just don’t have access to mills or other fancy machinery :slight_smile:
The electric part doesn’t bother me, it’s the metal work I would struggle with :slight_smile:

Bois, you’re on a DIY onewheel thread on a DIY eskate forum. I mean. Yeah you could go and buy a onewheel, or a cheap funwheel.
You’ve also got tones of people willing to build custom packs for you around here. The only thing you have to do is tell them how much space you have and how much power you want.
Also the p-hub can feet 6 inches tires. But you’re also free to find a hub you like and then build a frame around it.
It just sound to me that you want easy Perfs, without paying for them

My order just arrived, everything looks high quality. Very good packaging and fast shipping. Thanks @Enginir !

The phub-188 this kit is designed for has a 5.5" (diameter) wheel. There is a 3D printed adapter linked in this thread. A 6" diameter tire will not fit directly to the 5.5" diameter wheel.

What chargers are people using/ planning on using?
I’m looking at options ATM but hard to find much

Enginir says the charging port is a DC 5521.

Haven’t bought my charger yet and someone may have a better suggestion but was thinking of a 12S (50.4V) 4A charger similar to this:


Wow they like to inflate prices. That second one is

I’ll have a look about and see what I can get in the uk

They get a little closer after shipping since the Aliexpress one is $30 for shipping and it probably takes a lot longer to receive. Still waiting for my phub’s to start moving…

You don’t get free shipping?
That’s the only pain with Ali, still waiting on them to send the phub also lol

My DIYonewheel kit came in today. So far everything looks great. One thing I noticed is that the front footpad doesn’t have the voltage dividing circuit shown in the assembly video. @Enginir , was this removed because it wasn’t necessary?

The internal dimension between the rails is 180mm. The Burris 11x6-6 treaded tire is 180mm at rest. Thinking it will still work with @Remieknaapen 's adapters as the phub-188’s width will probably pull in the sidewalls enough.

Playing around with the batteries at the moment and trying to squeeze a 12s2p 40T pack in there. Could definitely get the battery pack to fit with staggered cells but there is no room for the BMS. Still thinking about spacing the bottom plate down with shims.

Doesn’t ship to the US for free. :crying_cat_face: See there is free shipping to the UK.

It was 7 days until I received tracking numbers for my phub’s. My phub’s “shipped” last Thursday but the tracking numbers don’t register yet other than saying the packages are awaiting pickup.

My phub hasn’t even been thought about by the looks of it

Ordered the Bluetooth module and was sent straight away lol
Just want the charger and LEDs now before I decide what battery setup to go with. Then I’ll need some kind of welder lol

Just received the kit as well! Anyone else have a large scratch down the middle of one of the plates? Communication for my item shipout is weird…


She proceeded to send a pic of box taped up with a tracking number that is too long …Ali hasn’t updated shipping yet either.
