X7 LR is a dream come true.
I bought my first Onewheel in 2015 and, since then, I’ve owned every single board Future Motion has produced (okay… except the Pint X). So yeah, you could say I’ve been pretty deep in the Onewheel rabbit hole for a while.
First off, huge love for Onewheels and the community. Some of the best people and best rides of my life have come from this sport. But I’ll be honest… there has also been HUGE frustration with Future Motion over the years. Anyone who’s been around long enough probably knows exactly what I’m talking about.
Meanwhile, in the background, I’ve always been intrigued by the VESC world. More power, more control, more freedom. But also… more menus, more settings, and a slight feeling that I might accidentally turn my board into a small electrical fire if I pressed the wrong button. So I admired from a distance.
Then came the Fungineers X7 Long Range.
A complete board, ready to ride, right out of the box, basically designed for people like me who are curious about VESC but also slightly terrified of the VESC tool.
And let me tell you…
The X7 calmed everything.
This board feels like the perfect blend of the XRC and the XL in terms of power and agility. It’s punchy when you want it, smooth when you don’t, and incredibly confidence-inspiring under your feet.
But the real kicker?
About 25-30% more range.
Suddenly those “maybe I should head home” moments turn into “eh… let’s see what’s over that hill.”
The ride feel is dialed. The torque is there when you ask for it. The stability is fantastic. And the overall experience just feels… refined.
Honestly, the only thing missing for someone like me is a “VESC for Dummies” user guide. Not because the board is hard to ride, it’s absolutely not…. but because I know there’s a whole world of customization in there and I’m still cautiously poking around like a caveman discovering fire.
One downside. The X7 LED lights are terrible! I saw they are coming out with or have brighter one available but have not seen them.
Other than that?
All I have to say is…
WOW.
The X7 Long Range might be the board that finally bridges the gap for riders like me — longtime Onewheel fans who love the ride, love the community, but have been waiting for something more open, more powerful, and more rider-friendly.
Huge respect to the Fungineers team.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have about 40% more exploring to do.
