Matt Hoover was nice enough to send me the new version of his ranger mod and his fang minis version 2. The new ranger does a great job of really locking the ego battery onto the board and the new minis are super sleek and just look awesome. In this video I do my best to test out both, I take my onewheel plus for the longest ride yet without charging ( over 20 miles ) to really test out the ranger by putting a huge 7.5ah battery onto it. Then on the end of my ride I take my board with a depleted battery up the steep hill to my house and try to push my board to a nosedive and see if the fang minis will save me!! I also got a little insight from Matt about an upcoming Pint Accessory!

Big thanks as always to my beautiful wife for helping me edit this video!!
Those little wheels in front should be standard in future onewheels, maybe even start adding them to the current ones that they're manufacturing right now.
Yea I can see that for sure. They really help a lot. I can’t wait for them to come out on the pint!
Then it would be a three wheel lol
At this point, I don't understand why future motion doesn't add them. It's almost criminal considering the injuries the nosedives create ; and even from a marketing perspective, the nosedive is the worst point of their product ! I don't get it.
@@6061 Wouldn't be as effective but they could put real "fangs" instead. Titanium maybe, or hardened steel.
Josh Salyers nah fangs don’t do much. My mate had some fang minis that broke on his first nosedive when he was trying to test them.
The Onewheel accessory market is predatory.
The fang wheels is a smart safety feature... I'm too old to be spilling out lol 👍🏿🤓
Oh for sure me too!
Thanks for the review, most helpful I've found yet! Sold on both and will be ordering for my Onewheel +
Awesome!! Thanks!
I’m a little late to the party. Just bought 2 pint x’s and a gt for my kids and myself. Guessing the ranger won’t be something we will need with the new range, but the fangs look like a must have. I definitely would like the extra battery since I have all ego lawn equipment. Thanks for the content! War Eagle!!
For a device at this price I would expect the Onewheel to give some sort of audible warning if the tiltback isn't enough in itself. Kinda scary how it just nosedives like that.
Yea it’s not cool for sure and I totally agree with you
Yep! I’ve been posting the same thing. There is no reason they couldn’t have that feature.
What sort of warning do you need when you ride your skateboard?
@@CJinsoo a skateboard has 4 wheels. It won't simply tilt to one side and throw you off. Electric or not. This is different from any self - balancing unit.
@@Zuflux Try explaining that to anyone who has been thrown off a skate board, seemingly unexpectedly. This is a distinction without a difference because with the skateboard it is user generated input and feedback, or a rock or twig that the user didn’t see. On the the rock or twig, the Pint should take care of that due to the motor and mammoth tire, so the rider on the Pint now has to compensate and expect deviation from the motor, battery, and programming.
Use at your own risk.
Those fangs are rad. Cool video man, very informative. Well done sir.
Yea man I was super impressed! Thanks big time!
My heart jumped when you nose-dived and played the haunting music haha
so did mine!
🎉thanks, I feel I could buy one some day now that it has fangs!
South Carolina 👍👍👍. Representing Winston Salem, NC . The shot of the fangs working is a strong point too.
Yea man thanks. I was nervous the first time for sure!
killer editing on this video! I like the smartphone screen capture overlays.
Thanks man! It takes forever but it’s fun!!
Very informative! Will also check those Fangs links.
Great video showing how well these mods work. Another difference of the Vampire connection method is that the app shows the % battery level like it does without the EGO. But the OW power button no longer switches both batteries on/off, only the internal.
Thanks Mike! Yea I still think I would rather go down that path than open up the battery. It was pretty tight in that thing!
Great vid. Thanks for posting this
Anytime man!
ROOOOLLLLL TIDE ROLL!! Haha sorry I had to... Thanks for the great video!
The fangs are everything. Genius. Love ❤️ it. Adding the one wheel to the collection now.
awesome man, I love mine for sure
hahahaha great video man! I appreciate you sharing the experience and insight. The DJ'ing at the end had me cracking up. I will definitely have to pick up some fangs. The nose dive is inevitable. I'm 40 so I don't heal as quickly as I did when I was 20. If these little fangs can save me from getting hurt they're worth their weight in gold!
yea man I totally hear ya, those fangs are awesome for sure!! I dont know why i waited so long to get them!
@@JohnDDyer I'm not sure why I waited so long either. Got them ordered now though!
The fang is great I thought of that immediately as soon as I saw the safety concerns it seems so intuitive
Yea for sure!
@@JohnDDyer what site you get that tire? Can you explain pros cons with the treaded tire? Looks nice though.
Exactly, this should have been incorporated into the design from the start. Ever since I saw Adam Savage take a pretty bad nose dive, I was turned off to the one wheel. I thought why don't they have a little wheel in the front so the nose doesn't dig in? Glad some one thought of this?. Now I might reconsider getting one.
Why not put the that battery at the top of the wheel?
Great Review on the fangs!
I don't like the position of the battery. it would be better off on the top-middle of the fender.
yea I was worried that putting it too high would rock the board more (I wanted to keep the cg lower) I never tried it up top tho....
That is what I was thinking. It seems that it would be uncomfortable and would interfere with your foot placement.
My new battery model will be tested In the spring and production mid summer, hopefully July. It will offer swappable batterys, but a single pack will double the range. Have production model in auto cad. Form fitted moulds, so no invasive brick on your wheel. First production will be to extend the pint range ( double ) . Plug and play.
@@mikeloki2064 you would then have a dangly wire.. from you to the board, which is shit
@@mikeloki2064 yeah carry a 5 lb battery on your arm for 10+miles and tell me how that feels
Nice vid I like the fang drag term lol I don't have a 1wheel yet but this really helps to know
Yea man anytime! Time to get one!!
Haha, I guess I'm a little late to the party but I just found a new rail trail. Greetings from Charlotte!
The safety feature is an add-on should be more like a recall they should all come with that for what this item cost
yea man I really like it, I need it for the Pint!
You dont get gloves or padding when you buy a hockey stick either.
@@MrDmadness your hockey stick won't send yound on concrete at 15mph.
@@JsDentonable your not very good with extrapolation...
@@MrDmadness You are comparing apples to oranges. how is a handheld stick comparable to a transport device? motorcycles and cars and bicycles are constantly upgrading their safety features.
Great vid. War Eagle! I just ordered an XR and I’m looking forward to taking it out to the trails at Chewacla.
awesome Brock! let me know how it goes, I havent ridden back there yet!
Great video bro appreciate it 🤙🏻 ride safe
Thanks man you too!
The fangs was my idea at one point. Im glad to see they added them.
Yea they are great! I’m still waiting for the pint ones....
Great video. Very informative.
Thanks Thomas!
So wild, watching your video and then you mention Travelers Rest and Greenville and exactly where I live! #FLOATLIFE!!!
Greenville is so nice. Was just there for the Fall For Greenville Fest. Good food. 👍
yea man I am super lucky to live there! its awesome :)
I took a ride up to Tandem on the XR. Parked at Welborn street. I put 2 miles riding around downtown before heading that way. When I got to Tandem I had 22% left! Riding up that way is a slight hill that you really don’t notice haha. Charged while eating to about 60% and headed back. Got back with 8%. Feet were numb after 20 miles
Damn man! Yea 20 miles my feet were numb too!
Wde John. Great video, man. Glad I stumbled onto your channel.
thanks man, WDE!!
I definitely want it body I hope I’m not too late I’m a beginner on onewheel and definitely need a range extended to practice more and learn faster 🙏 btw great video as a newbie I learned a lot thanks bro 👌💪🖖
Hey man any time! Unfortunately it’s already gone... thanks for watching tho!!
Fangs and ranger mod for Pint would be sweet, nice video John 🤟
No doubt! I can’t wait for those fangs! I wasn’t a big fan of the way the other options out there looked right now...
@@JohnDDyer sonnywheels has a pint range mod
War Eagle John!! Loved the video!
War Damn baby!
Nice review! I still need to pick myself up a set of Fangs. Actually, looks like they have version 2.1 out now! Didn't know about the battery mod....very cool!
thanks man! you def need some fangs, they are awesome! I just saw your Channel too, I am also waiting for my Skydio 2 but I'm in the second batch :(
Nice video, man! I could definitely put that ranger mount to good use!
Alright man first comment she’s all yours! Hit me up on Instagram so I can get your shipping details!
@@JohnDDyer Thanks!!! Sent you a dm on insta!
I have fangs on my corvette. Nice accessory
That’s cool. But also illustrates why I just bought an average EUC. I can already do double his added device distance from stock on my inmotion V10.
I just got the same EUC :)
Wow fantastic video bud and that's cool having 2 extra batteries with you incase the board dies on you woow! I wanna do the same one day :D
Yea man it’s def an awesome feature! I am hoping one day future motion makes a board with swappable batteries. Would be awesome for travel, long rides and everything.... one day😃
Can you install the extended battery on the pint?
I have pint and is excited for the fangs to come out. Ive alread nose dive going up hill and only tore some ligaments. Lucky for me not major.
Oh man I am so sorry, I nosedived too it really sucks... I am still anxiously awaiting the pint fangs too!
Thank John, cool video.
Any idea what the cost of the fangs for Pint might be?
I suspect they will be around $50 similar to the ones for the XR/Plus but I honestly don’t know. I’m just ready to try them out!
is it possible to install two fangs on both end for the pint?
What wrist guards are you using? They look cool
greenvilleeee 🤘🏼
Great video! Can those batteries handle the relatively fast discharge/high amperage?
Thanks Elias, I’m honestly not sure what they are rated for as far as discharge rate, there is a lot of discussions about them on the FB onewheel owners group tho that might be good for you to check out.
Will that ranger work on the gt?
did the ranger bric your xr? just got a bricked pint for free because they did the extra battery mod...i need a new computer/sn# for it since its reading void error
Nope, I never had any issues with the ranger but it was hooked up to my plus. Now extreme rain and me riding my plus in way to wet weather later on bricked it and I donated it to a friend.
Would you be able to have 2-3 of those adapters, or does the extra battery weight overcome that?
Dang from Greenville to TR and back that's impressive, I live in Spartanburg deciding if I want a onewheel or not and I definitely think I'll be keeping and eye out for a good deal on one now
yea used can be good too just try to check it out in person to make sure it all looks legit.
Anyone know where to get the extra battery thing ?
Speaking of add-ons, I could think of an extra batteries build on the top of the fender forming a seat, then with a handlebar in front, you be riding the legendary ONEWHEEL UNICYCLE!!!
hahhahahahahhahah
Is the ego battery a back up (existing battery still being used) or replacement essentially ?
how much does this setup go for, just the one wheel plus the 7.5ah battery?
Hello just wondering if you still have the battery ranger from land surf?
No it’s long gone. Sorry man...
It doesn’t seem like they sell the extender anymore. Does anyone know where other sellers for similar ones are?
so wait just 4-7 miles on stock battery ?
Are you gonna do a review for the vnr battery on the one wheel pint? I’ve been considering it to extend my range but there are no reviews anywhere on if it works.
well the problem is I have all ego yard tools and batteries that wont work for the pint so I would need to get new batteries...its on the list but I'm not a fan of getting new batteries just for the pint... I loved the dual use of the ego stuff for my lawn mower and blower!
Good Video John. Can you explain the "vampire connection". I looked at the Land-Surf web site and there is no visual difference between the parallel and vampire versions. Instructions are only available for the parallel wiring. Does the vampire edition run into the regular One wheel charging port? Does it work equally well with the V1 and the plus models? I have both.
Well I’m not sure since I haven’t used it, reach out the the guys at land surf they are usually very responsive!
ranger just boosts the battery by placement of additional battery-it doesn't charge up when riding?
Cool video, i'm just down the road in Asheville NC
On nice! I need to get up there some more. U ever ride with Dom??
Hi again. I have a little question about the ranger, do you plug it right from the start or do you wait for the board’s battery to drain?. Also, do you know if there are any fangs available for the v1? Thanks again, your videos are amazing!!!!
Hey David! I plug it in from the start since I wired mine into the battery directly in parallel. If I did the charge and ride i would have had to drain it a bit to not overcharge. I dont think any of the fangs work on the V1 :( sorry man, you could reach out to the guys at land surf and see if they have any options tho, they are super nice over there! Thanks for watchin!!
What backpack do you have?
Did they stop selling the ranger modification? It's not on the website anymore.
good video. dang war eagle fan. maybe the dawgs can win a natty sometime this century. you must be in SC
The best onewheel accessory by far is the kush hi footpad. Any concave footpad will make a huge difference in your riding, but the kush hi is the best in my opinion.
man sounds awesome, I am topped out on onewheel spending for now lol, maybe next year!!
Just installed the FANG Mini 2.0's myself. Hey, even 1 save makes them well worth the $$. Hopefully, I never have to test them myself...but glad I have them installed. What % would you say your battery was at when you see those nosedive conditions heading uphill? I'm very cautious once I hit 10% battery.
I would be careful below 50% honestly
I'd love to use that old ranger. I've been thinking of doing the whole thing diy according to their manual, but putting two metal plates (battery commectors) into that plastic housing isn't easy. This would be the ultimate solution. :D
Oh man I think its already got a new home, but I will let you know if it falls through...
@@JohnDDyer Yee I came a bit late to this. As long as it gets used it's cool. :)
That was a steal for the 7.5ah , where I am it costs $600 for the battery without any accessories
FB marketplace used man (if you have it)! Gotta find someone that the ego mower wasnt enough to cut the whole yard ;)
Is it healthy to charge and use the battery? I want to add miles without hurting the stock battery... pint with 20 miles on it.
It should come with wheels from the factory. One of my main deterances from getting one is fears that the company will lose a lawsuit do to an injury and go under.
Can you not get any range extenders now? I can’t find a single one... if anyone knows where I can purchase one please point me in that direction. Thank you!!!
The fang wheels won’t allow you to ride out a high speed nose dive. How do I know? Because I nosedived at high speed with the fangs and got thrown onto the pavement HARD.I’m thinking if you had run higher air pressure at the stock setting of 20psi you’d have gotten better range. I noticed a pretty dramatic improvement going to 22-24 psi with my stock tire.
oh man I am sorry, yea the nosedives are the worst, its always in the back of my mind honestly...
Is the size of the Ranger and its location not an issue? I'm pretty tall and I feel like it would be right on my leg
This video made so much more comfortable in purchasing one, knowing there's those fangs lol im scared of breaking something
Yea they are an amazing product! Still waiting on them for the pint tho 🙄
Awsome video could definetly use the old ranger cheers
Sorry man it’s already at its new home... thanks for watching tho!!
That Ego battery is an absolute beast. Does it change the OW+ riding dynamics/feel at all?
Yea it does. The smaller battery not so much but you def feel the 7.5ah!
Yeah I think it's that tyre. Mine with the Ego 2.5 battery gets 11-12 miles, with the Ego 5.0 I got 19 miles. That on the Vega.
TLDR: DO NOT HOT SWAP YOUR BATTERIES. IT WILL FRY YOUR BMS AND DAMAGE YOUR BOARD.
So I saw this and wanted to post this for anyone who might watch this video and want to do the same thing! The Land Ranger Kit's are awesome. It uses a method called VnR 'Vamp N Ride. It drains both the OW battery and the EGO battery at the same time. So when one is dead, both are dead. When you plug in a fully charged EGO battery, 'a rush of current will go into the depleted battery and it will affect its health/lifespan. 20% voltage difference between the 2 batteries is okay.' - SonnyWheels FAQ.
The point is, VNR your board. If you want extra range, run the two EGO batteries in parallel on the fender or in a backpack, and use all the batteries at once. When you hot swap, you will end up damaging your board and end up spending quite a lot on replacement parts early.
If you want to hot swap batteries, you need a CnR or PnR (Charge and Ride, Plug and Ride) solution. Instead of tapping into the power lines, you plug an XLR cable into the board and charge on the go. You have to wait until your board is down to at least 80% and you have to switch it off when going down hills to prevent overcharging, and you have to have a hardware version 3206 or earlier to make it work. This makes VnR more appealing, but with the CnR you can ride as long as you have charged batteries, making it a possible solution for ultra-long range riding
yea the rate that the juice rushed to the OW batter I believe is within its specs to handle (I thought I also read this on landsurfs website), buuut I also had a pretty old board with over 3000 miles so i wanst too worried about the battery honestly. its def safer to not hot swap them like I did but it kept riding fine after doing that a few time then later died due to excessive water damage lol
@@JohnDDyer
Always a sad day when a OW gets hit with that splishy splashy.
agreed, this comment should be promoted or similar warning put in the description.
I can't find the land surf ranger kit? Are they discontinued? I just ordered my pint.
Yea it looks like it 😕 they have the fangs tho. They are a must!!
That thing is huge and looks like it makes the back space alot smaller. They should have a groove for your leg/ankle in the battery.
You think that battery mod be done on the pint for more distance?
I think sonny wheels has some options. The guys at land surf that make the ranger don’t have an option yet and didn’t seem like one was in the works yet either.
Travelers Rest... man. Talk about some range! Good stuff man! Love that XR dj'ing at the end..lol.. 2 turn tables and a onewheel.
Hahaha thanks Jay, yea my legs were dead when I got back! 🤣
if the day ever comes that i get a one wheel, im 100% getting those little extra wheels to prevent nose dives. i live in Australia so the tax and price might be higher, but the fact i would be paying over $1000 for the board, doesn't change to pay a little extra for safety first.
100% agree!
Would make more sense to just create a thicker fender with integrated battery cells that is better balanced and less obtrusive. Someone with a 3D printer could mock one up for a production version in under a day
Yea I have seen some diy ones like that. Def makes more sense. This is just a cheap way to use the batteries that many ppl already have. It’s a compromise and just like most compromises...🤷♂️
The fender itself should be the battery
that was cute
Your OneWheel looks like it’s re-entered the Earths atmosphere twice !
hahah yea its been through hell from me and the previous owner lol
You had a little rain in this video be it do you or have you had any issues with it and rain and water
I can't find the range mod 😭
Was it uncomfortable with that big thing on the back? Considering doing this on my Onewheel+ Also, could you check the EGO battery itself by pushing the button on it?
You could def feel the 7.5ah battery there.... the 2.5ah feels very minimal impact tho. The ego button was just red or green on mine I think (I don’t have it anymore to check)
do you know if the range extender also works with the pint?
the land surf ranger doesnt, but I think sonny wheels has one that does.
John D Dyer where do I find this sonny wheels guy
Even with the extra battery, you only got 19 miles? Then inserting a 2nd extra battery you still didn't make it home?
Fangs available for pint?
Not yet... COVID etc is slowing things down apparently
Lmao the borat scene
Hahaha you know it!
It looks like the attachment would get in the way of foot placement. Idk maybe I'm wrong. I would have tried mounting it on the top. Or maybe it throws off the balance. What do I know I dont have one yet.
It’s a little in the way but yea I was trying to limit the balance impact
Which fangs are those, I just had a nasty nosedive and now feel like I need the fangs
I put the 3.0 on my XR. It's like 6 bolts and lifting the front pad to expose two bolts but super easy. It doesn't block the light like the Fangs 2.1 do.
Will the ranger work on the one wheel xr?
I think it depends on the type of XR, land surf walks thru compatibility on their website I believe.
"no more nosedives" hahahaha
❤️ Love
how much more range does the external battery give you?
Depends on the size of battery but you can go anywhere from double to 3x the stock plus battery. And you can hot swap them and just keep goin, it’s a heat mod for the plus for sure!
know anywhere to take onewheel for service?
New tire and basic 1k mile overhaul.
Greenville
hit up Dom Williams on FB, not only is he an amazing onewheel rider but he works on them to and lives close in asheville. He hooked me up with some help on mine
