Onewheel Rails

This is a personal project to further my machining skills as well as provide a higher quality ride on my onewheel. Onewheels come from the manufacturer with straight rails on the side, while this works perfectly fine and is lots of fun, lowering the center or gravity of the board makes the rider feel more stable on the board. Lowering the center of gravity means lowering the battery located in the rear, as that is the main source of weight in the board. If the battery was just lowered the board would ride fine but you would lose clearance going over rocks and curbs. To counter this the rails are angled upwards to the point where the center of gravity is lowered 0.5in while the nose and tail actually gain clearance. The new stance on the board due to the angled foot pads actually provide a more "locked in" feel and your feet are less likely to slide off in the vibrations from the terrain.
