OneWheel Plus XR Front Bike Light Mount by danyzillla

This is a very tight holder for a flashlight like the one found at this link:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YYB3M9K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Advantages:
1) Far better night-riding capabilities, as illustrated in the last two images. The third (darker) image is without this light turned on, and the fourth (brighter) image is with the light attached.
2) Since my particular light also has a built-in USB battery bank, it can be used for charging your phone in a pinch as well.
3) Protection of the front of your OneWheel.
4) Lowering the Fangs by 3mm, theoretically allowing slightly better outcomes when using them since your stance is a few degrees closer to parallel with the ground.
5) Personalization. Besides the color of it, I wrote text across the front of mine. Feel free to do the same with text of your choice - I used a 0.75mm extrusion in Fusion 360.
Disadvantages:
1) Some of the Grip-Tape real-estate is now taken, making very wide stances impossible. I use 3D-printed Flight Fins anyways, so this was not a problem personally. I know it is for many others, however.
2) Theoretically, the screw that holds the Fangs in is slightly less secure, since it has less threads connecting it to the OneWheel, but I have not experienced problems from this yet.
3) It somewhat breaks up the clean look of your OneWheel.
Installation:
It attaches at the bottom of the OneWheel XR, where LandSurf Fangs attach. In fact, I am using this with LandSurf Fangs 2.1. It could also be used without fangs. It rides slightly (2-3mm) above the footpad as seen in the second image, so that it won't trigger the pressure sensors. I put a piece of hook velcro under the mount so that, if the mount is bumped, it would not scratch my griptape.
