is closer to NUMBER_TOKEN pounds that extra weight comes from that battery that's three times the capacity a couple of the biggest comparisons that i want to make between these two boards are the maximum speed and the range or in other words the distance that it can travel on one battery charge the onewheel xr can travel up to NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour and i've got mine limited to about NUMBER_TOKEN miles an hour which is way faster than i even want to go usually i ride this thing around NUMBER_TOKEN miles per hour i'm still in the middle of collecting data on the range for the board that i built but my back of the envelope calculations estimate that the range is between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN miles on one charge now i'll talk about some of the little extra bells and whistles that the onewheel xr has to offer and see how it compares to the one that i've built here both of these boards are built using brushless dc motors and they have a motor controller that uses field oriented control or foc motor controls which means you can do fancy things like regenerative braking that means that if you're riding down a hill it'll actually regenerate that energy and charge your battery from it both the onewheel xr and the one that i've built here do not require a remote to hold in your hand they also both have leds at each end i'm not sure about the onewheel xr but these ones are individually addressable rgb leds that means that i can program cool little animations and do a whole bunch of different color schemes and finally both of these boards have the ability to be connected to a mobile app using the vesk tool mobile app i could get all sorts of information about the board and my speed and my motor usage just like the onewheel app now i'm going to talk about the tools that were required to build this board now i built a lot of things on this channel and i've collected a lot of tools and parts over the years which made it a lot easier to build something like this if you were starting from scratch and you haven't ever built anything like this before you're obviously going to need to buy a lot of tools some of the things that you're going to need to assemble the electronics are things like a soldering iron a heat gun a crimper for some of the connectors etc i also used a lot of things like wire and heat shrink and that kind of stuff then of course there's the NUMBER_TOKENd printer i used this a lot in this project to print enclosures and different parts for the onewheel in addition to the tools for the electronics as well as the NUMBER_TOKENd printer you saw me use several shop tools in order to fabricate the aluminum tubing i used things like a miter saw a drill press which you could get by with a drill if that's all you had as well as a deburring tool and some metal files and things like that you'll also need things like drill bits and a tap and then i also used a hole saw for that largest hole again if you make things you'll probably already have a lot of these things on hand one of the things that you saw me use repeatedly while drilling through that aluminum square tubing was a step bit like this this was invaluable in this project this portion of the video is sponsored by altium altium
