Check out our FULL review here. Summary below.

The Invoxia Cellular GPS tracker offers an effective solution for tracking and potentially recovering personal electric vehicles (PEVs) like Onewheels, electric scooters, and electric bikes in case of theft. Its pros include discrete placement, long-lasting battery, geofencing, an intuitive app, reasonable pricing, and the ability to track past movement over time. However, it has some downsides, such as its large size, potential signal loss when placed inside a PEV frame, and lack of waterproofing.

The tracker is designed to track and recover stolen goods, making it a more functional solution for this purpose compared to the Apple AirTag, which is not intended for theft recovery. The Invoxia tracker utilizes a cellular network, GPS, and Bluetooth technology to provide precise tracking, and it requires a small yearly fee.

For Onewheels, the tracker can be discreetly placed behind the wheel in a small opening inside the rail, enhancing the chances of recovery. It offers both cellular and GPS tracking and can last several weeks to months on a single charge.

For electric scooters and e-bikes, the smaller size of these vehicles poses challenges in concealing the tracker. Placing it in plain sight on handlebars or the frame can be effective since most thieves won’t recognize it. The tracker also fits in PEV charging ports for added convenience.

The Invoxia app is user-friendly and facilitates device setup, communication, and tracking. It offers features like movement notifications and zone alerts, improving its usability.

While the Invoxia Cellular GPS tracker may not prevent theft, it provides valuable peace of mind for PEV owners by increasing the likelihood of recovery in case of theft. Its tracking technology is reliable, and the yearly subscription fee is reasonable. However, users should consider the device’s size and find suitable, discreet placement options for their specific PEVs.

Onewheel Group Ride Tips https://oneradwheel.com/onewheel-group-ride-tips/ Tue, 11 May 2021 14:42:26 +0000 https://oneradwheel.com/?p=2259 We’ve moved! Check out our FULL article here. Summary below.

Participating in group rides with personal electric vehicles (PEVs) can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Here are ten tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable group ride:

  1. Be Courageous: Don’t hesitate to join a group ride. If there isn’t one near you, create your own group with like-minded riders.
  2. Be Fully Charged: Always ensure your PEV is fully charged before the ride to avoid running out of power during the journey.
  3. Be Outgoing: Introduce yourself to fellow riders and make new friends. Group rides often start with socializing and mingling.
  4. Be Geared Up: Bring your PEV and charger, especially if your group stops for breaks. Don’t forget your safety gear.
  5. Be On Time: Punctuality is key. Some groups start promptly, and you don’t want to miss out on the initial gathering and camaraderie.
  6. Be Yourself: Ride at your own pace. Group rides may split into faster and slower groups, so choose what suits you best.
  7. Be Willing to Learn: Take advantage of skilled riders to learn new techniques. Push your limits while riding safely.
  8. Be Accepting: Embrace diversity within the PEV community and be friendly to new riders, regardless of their rideables.
  9. Be Safe: Use verbal warnings like “on your left” or “on your right” when passing other riders. Watch out for obstacles and alert your group to potential hazards.
  10. Be Respectful: Adhere to local laws and show respect to pedestrians, cyclists, and others on the road or trail. Remember that your actions represent the PEV community.

As we emerge from social isolation, group rides are becoming more important for the mental, social, and physical health of PEV riders and the community. Don’t hesitate to join a group ride and enjoy the experience.

In this guest article by Nate from the YouTube Channel Fordged, he discusses how owning a Onewheel can actually save you money. While the initial cost might seem high, it offers various financial benefits and an improved quality of life.

Nate points out that a Onewheel isn’t just a fun toy but can also be used for commuting, helping you save on gas, auto insurance, parking, and toll fees. By comparing the cost of riding a Onewheel to the cost of taking an Uber, you can see significant savings. For example, an $1,800 Onewheel XR can pay for itself in about 3.5 years of daily commuting based on fuel costs alone.

Nate shares his personal savings of over $290.95 by riding his Onewheel for 2 years, avoiding the cost of 111 gallons of fuel. Additionally, he mentions that the cost of charging a Onewheel is minimal compared to the savings on fuel.

Beyond the financial benefits, Nate highlights the intangible value of riding a Onewheel, improving your quality of life, and fostering a sense of community. He also discusses how the experience has led to the development of new skills and even opened up business opportunities.

In summary, owning a Onewheel can save money, enhance your lifestyle, and provide a sense of community and personal growth.

TiGr BLUE Bike Lock Review 2021: Elegant & Stronger! https://oneradwheel.com/the-new-tigr-blue-mini-bike-lock/ Sat, 09 Jan 2021 03:08:00 +0000 https://oneradwheel.com/?p=969 We’ve moved! Check out our FULL article here. Summary below.

“TiGr Blue Lock: Light, Strong, and Secure – A Comprehensive Review”

The TiGr Blue Lock has emerged as a robust and lightweight security solution that excels in protecting electric rideable devices, such as Onewheels, bicycles, and more. With a unique design and advanced materials, it provides enhanced security while maintaining portability.

TiGr Blue Lock: A Game-Changer

The TiGr Blue Lock is the latest offering from TiGr, following their previous titanium versions – the TiGr mini+ and TiGr mini. These titanium locks, although lightweight, had limited resistance to cutting attacks.

The new TiGr Blue Lock retains the sleek design of its predecessors while introducing a significant upgrade in materials. The key to its success is the utilization of high carbon steel in its shackle, which enhances its strength and resilience.

Cutting-Edge Performance

To prove the TiGr Blue Lock’s durability, the reviewer conducted cut tests using a hacksaw and two different bolt cutters:

Hacksaw: A new Craftsman hacksaw with a carbon steel blade was used in an attempt to cut the TiGr Blue. After several minutes of effort, the hacksaw barely made a dent in the high carbon steel, leaving the blade considerably dull.

Bolt Cutter #1 (18″): Multiple attempts with these bolt cutters only resulted in shallow dents on the TiGr Blue shackle, demonstrating its resistance to cutting.

Bolt Cutter #2 (24″): A double compound HK Porter 24″ set was used, which was considered heavy-duty and more potent. Surprisingly, the TiGr Blue lock withstood multiple attacks, with no cuts being made.

These tests confirmed the remarkable strength of the high carbon steel used in the TiGr Blue Lock’s shackle, significantly improving its resistance to cut attacks.

Locking Mechanism and Design

The TiGr Lock’s elegant design comprises a shackle that locks securely when a bolt extends between its two ends, preventing disassembly until the bolt is retracted. The locking mechanism’s simplicity enhances its effectiveness, providing ease of use and security.

Shortcomings and Conclusion

While the TiGr Blue Lock offers an excellent blend of convenience and security, motivated thieves may be tempted to target its thin metal design. In the event of an attack, the protective plastic covering may be damaged, potentially leading to corrosion.

In summary, the TiGr Blue Lock has established itself as the go-to choice for users seeking a lightweight and reliable security solution. It ensures the safety of Onewheels, bicycles, and other valuable assets. However, users should remain cautious and avoid placing their locked items in precarious situations.
