We just got the first tires for Onewheel! If you need just the tire or the whole change service with sealant and everything, we are there! The tire is 99 € + postage (30 € to EU) Tire change is 199 € + postage (40 € to EU + your costs to send the board to us, we're based in Finland) That should be somewhat more cost effective than sending the board back to US. Our website links (Sorry about the language, e-mail works in English, Swedish and German) Whats the price to send 1-2 tires to Sweden? Edit : I cant read :pAlso, the page defaults to finish. And nothing on atleast the mobile site helps telling us non finish guys how to even change languge :( Good to hear there's finally tires in Europe. Hadn't had any luck this far. Prices seem pretty steep though if you look at this US link. Am really I misreading that they are offering 6 tires for 59$? @BadWolf Same here on desktop mode.. I suspect that if you want to communicate in English, you'd have to rely exclusively on e-mail?
6 is part of the tire size. It's $59 for each. Yeah, I missunderstood it first. Thats why I edit my post, but didnt remove me being stupid. But that is what he said yes :) site in finish, email works with english @sonny123 said in Tire change in Europe: And they want crap alot for shipping.. then there is toll and crap like that :( @BadWolf The price is as above, but the postage you pay only once. So one tire: 129 €, two tires: 228 €. In payments we prefer Paypal, but other means can be agreed on. We are working on more international sites, but I hope you can bear with us for a moment. Our e-commerce platform supports well only national stuff, so we have to make a small international one too with a different platform. For the moment: E-mail & Google translate helps. You can also just post here what you want (+ e-mail with some coding to avoid spam) and I'll throw a Paypal invoice for you. Pricing comes from VAT + the fact that in EU no one other but us Onewheelers use the tire size.
In US they use it tons in go-cart so the volume discounts are better. But we are slowly building the OW community up and beyond the go-cart! It would be great if shops around the US started offering this service! Just to be curious, are you guys changing the tires manually or with a tire-machine-thing? @Polle We use tire changing machine that fits to go-kart tires. @newtechsports do you also balance the wheel? @Roy We check the balance and do a test drive, but a properly installed wheel doesn't need any further balancing. @newtechsports I tried placing an order for a tire shipped to Romania but I'm getting the error - "Yhtään toimitustapaa ei löydy. Ota yhteys asiakaspalveluumme info@newtechsports.fi ja kerro tapahtuneesta." Just send an e-mail to us with your contact information (info(a)newtechsports.fi) and we'll get it sorted out. You'll get a Paypal invoice and we'll ship the tires. The error says: "We cannot unfortunately ship to Romania from our webshop.

Held at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina, the test featured three drivers vying for the attention of the Momentum Motorsports team. Team manager Phil Picard Jr. was thrilled with the results. (watch testing video here) "There was an overwhelming response from interested drivers," Picard said. "So much interest that we are talking about the possibility of holding another test for future contracted drivers. The drivers we selected for the shoot-out, are three great karters who are also great competitors." After taking numerous phone calls and looking over resumes, Picard and his team decided to invite three drivers: Jack Tucker, Nick Landi and Tyler Guilbeault. Tucker, the youngest of the three drivers at 17, has had a passion to race since his dad took him to his first Indy Grand Prix.
Though Tucker has only been racing go-karts for one year, he has been racing bicycles competitively for years. "Racing bikes is a bit different, but once I got behind the wheel of the F4 car, I felt right at home. It was amazing," Tucker said. "I'm really excited for the opportunity to work with Momentum. Their knowledge and expertise in the field will really help get my career rolling and make me a better driver." Landi, 19 of Aldrige, New Jersey, was the second driver hoping to earn a spot on the Momentum team. Landi grew up 10 minutes from a local race track. After watching local racers have so much fun on the field, he decided at 13 it was time for him to make the transition from fan-in-the-stands to driver-behind-the-wheel. Landi started his racing career in go-karts and has had some experience on short-tracks racing Legends. Like Tucker, Landi felt the transition from his kart to the F4 U.S. Championship car was smooth. "I really got the handling down after a lap," Landi said.
"The car was an easy transition from my kart. I just had to handle the wheel a bit slower. Everyone did whatever it took to make this as smooth as possible. The Honda engine was especially great. I really learned a lot and want to thank everyone who made this opportunity possible." Tyler Guilbeault was the final driver to try and impress his potential future team. At 24, Guilbeault, was the oldest of the three competitors with the most racing experience. Guilbeault grew up at race tracks around the United States, traveling with his father who was a NASCAR mechanic and tire changer. He started his racing career at age 8 in karts and racing open wheel professionally is his dream. "Getting invited to test in the F4 car is a once in a lifetime deal," Guilbeault said. "I live, eat and breath motorsports. I see a lot of trends come and go. I've got to see up close that this series is not going to be just a trend. The car is relatively inexpensive for the competitor to race and has been a very easy transition from my kart.
This should be a real eye-opener in ladder series competition. I can't wait to see this take over." The drivers weren't the only ones excited to be on the track with the new car. This was the second time Momentum Motorsports was able to see their car in action. "We are more and more impressed with the car that Crawford Composites built every time out," Picard said. "The learning curve for the drivers was nearly non-existent and each driver took to the car within three laps. The parents were very pleased with the car's looks, its technology and its safety. Overall, we were very pleased with this test, it was a tremendous success. Our excitement is at an all-time high." The next steps for Momentum will be to review its test footage, talk with the drivers' parents or managers and work out contracts with the competitors they select. "It's going to be a hard choice because of the talent that each driver showed," Picard said. Momentum Motorsports' drivers should be selected within the next few days.
