Markus is building a dedicated app for Garmin watches: VESC Floaty connects to the VESC Express in the board via Bluetooth and shows the key values right on your wrist – your phone stays in your pocket.

Swipe to switch between six screens:

• Live: speed, voltage, duty, motor and controller temperature, plus battery percentage and motor and battery current
• GPS map with the route you rode, ride time and altitude
• Trip stats: distance, ride time, top and average speed, watt-hours used and climbing
• Speed and altitude over time
• Duty and motor current over time, with a warning line at 80 % duty
• Motor and controller temperature over time, with warning lines

The app also finds the VESC Express when the controller sits behind it on the CAN bus; the CAN ID can be set in the app settings. It is developed and tested on the Garmin Vivoactive 5. VESC Floaty is not publicly available yet – as soon as it is, you will read it here. You ride a board with a VESC Express, wear a Garmin watch and have wishes? Write to us.

The community platform for all OneWheel riders in Austria is here. From now on you will find:

• Meeting points on the map – real spots from our rides, from the Enns valley to the Schwarza valley
• Rides: upload a Floaty export, VESC Tool log or GPX, see the route and stats, compare rides, leaderboard
• Boards: add your setup, share config files and compare boards by their rides
• Leaderboard: points, levels and badges for distance, climbing, tours and meeting points – plus the standings of the European Onewheel League and the AOL on RideHermes

With the finals at the Onewheel Algarve Race in Portugal (1 to 4 October), the 2026 season of the European Onewheel League came to an end: seven events in seven countries, from Hungary to Portugal. For 2027 the league has announced divisions. All dates are in the race calendar.

For Float Austria, Markus, Natalie and David raced in the Open class: Markus finished 20th at Wacky Wheels and 23rd at the Mayrau Shred Fest and ends the season at rank 41 of 164 with 180 points, while David (92nd) and Natalie (95th) scored their points at Wacky Wheels. The full standings are now on the leaderboard.

From 20 April to 30 September the first season of the league Austrian Underground Trails (AOL) ran on RideHermes: six trails in Lower Austria – Schwaza Snake and Schwaza Reverse Snake, Into the woods, Horse Trail, Strait deer lane and the Bridge Sprint, just 76 metres long. You ride whenever you like; the app keeps the time and each rider’s best one counts.

In the end shambler01 – Markus – led with 59 points and five trail records, ahead of Nelly – Natalie – with 53 points, who rode all six trails, and David with 19 points, who took the record on the Bridge Sprint.

The standings and trails are now on the leaderboard. If you ride on RideHermes, add your name in your account and the trails will count towards your Float Austria points too.

Three boards, three colours: LED lighting doesn't just make you visible at dusk, it simply looks great too.

This summer the board spent a lot of time in the mountains: in front of the Großglockner, on a bridge over a gorge and on gravel paths with an Alpine view.

Not every board comes ready out of the box. A few impressions of this summer’s VESC builds: purple footpads, grip tape and silver rails. Building your own? Add your board under Boards and share your config files with the community.
