    I got the onewheel after losing over a hundred pounds. It was my reward to myself. I thought it would a fun thing to do, like a bike, or... a thing that sits in the garage and get used once a month. Golf clubs... Or something?
    Nah.
    I ride the thing every day. At lunch. After work. In 6 months I've put over 1600 miles on it. I've taken it a part, modified it, and made it my own. Learned how it works. I've explored trails. Parks. I've drove over 2 hours for meet ups and group rides. Its kept me outside and off the couch. I haven't played a video game or sat down before it's dark since I got it.
    At 40 years old, I thought I was passed the time in my life where I would try something completely out of my wheel house and embrace it to be point where it's a part of my daily rhythm, what I do, who my friends are, and changed how I see myself. I was never a skater, never a snowboarder or did any board sports. I just didn't think I could.
    The OW made me realize that I'm not too old to get moving. To fall down. To get back up. To be active, explore, and learn what you're capable of.

    On a onewheel you will learn more about your neighborhood and city than you ever thought possible. Even when you’re in/on a vehicle you’ll be keeping an eye out for trails, nice sidewalks or cool spots to ride. It honestly does take the adventure level of your life up 100x.
    I ride a motorcycle and I constantly find myself thinking “dang, that’s a cool spot!” or “I wonder if this is within onewheel range instead of driving or riding..”
    You’ll spend hours on google maps checking out routes and paths, trying to see if there’s a sidewalk or shortcut you can take, and marking spots to come back and ride later!
    Another awesome thing is how freeing and calming it is on the mind. I love to ride my motorcycle late at night by myself, and riding my onewheel is the same sort of therapy. Just cruising around, blank mind and taking in the world and enjoying the moment. It really slows down life in a really nice way.

    I've seen so many parks and trails that I would have otherwise missed if I'd never got my onewheel. The thing that's hard to explain is just how magical the experience is once you've bonded with your board, it turns routine tasks into mini adventures and everything is more fun.

    With my Onewheel I noticed how it calms me down to drive through the empty streets at night after work. Lunch on a small ride with the Onewheel is also relaxing and gives you new energy for the day. In addition it's super helpful when shooting videos. It makes the video stable like never before. It also makes shopping easier. Why should I go by car when it can be a great commute with the onewheel. I can now get to my grandmother, who lives a town further away, without a problem.

    When i bought my XR, I didn't realize the fun relationship that exists between skill level and enjoyment. Like many sports worth doing, the better one gets, the more the world opens up, and the more stoke there is to be had. Like skiing backcountry, it's more fun the longer you do it, and the more comfortable you get taking it everywhere and anywhere.
    Also, sneaking up on nature, undisturbed.

    For me, an unexpected realization is the therapeutic advantages it has. Through the pandemic and family and job changes the past few years have brought, I found myself turning to my XR for therapy. I could just float and not worry. I found it helped me to process during the crazy freeing feeling of flying. You become one with your board, and you find yourself looking at the world from a different lens. The money I spent on my XR has paid for itself several times over just from the therapeutic aspect alone! Thanks OneWheel and Future Motion!!!

    Onewheel helped me realize how much unexplored stuff there is to hit. Driving by a spot everyday, I didn’t even realize it existed until I came across it on a Onewheel, so it helped me get out of the house (being a teen in quarantine isn’t ideal lol) and it helped my mental well-being and helped me make so many new friends

    Got my Pint last month. Honestly, it makes me really want to go outside with it. It gives me this really good feeling during and after my rides. I used to stay at home for days and be content with playing games and watching TV. Now I really have what to look forward to when going outside. ALSO, I ask my friends to go out more because I want more excuses to ride it (Even though I dont need an excuse, its just awesome)

Never felt anything like it. Thanks team!!!!!!

The first time I did it I was laughing so hard to myself that I'm pretty sure the passing cars all thought I was completely insane.

    Ok I’m going to be honest. I didn’t realise the board actually disappears. Not kidding. Before I got a Onewheel I’d watched so many freaking videos of other people riding and looking super rad and chilled. But when I started to ride after a few weeks I realised I had hardly even looked at the board when I was riding (makes sense right?)
    But it made me realise that the board literally disappears and when I ride it just feels like me floating around and the open air and a feeling of contentment 😀
    that’s my take

    I watched video after video both before AND after getting my onewheel... and what I didn't realize was how social that board makes everybody! Kids, parents, grandparents turn their heads, talk to you, ask you questions, starting with the board then it just becomes natural conversation where the OneWheel was the main conversation starter. I just never realized how social this single, amazing piece of electric transportation technology could be! Every time I get the stoke and float out, someone smiles, gives a thumbs up, goes 'It's so cool!' or even kids in parks go 'Woah! A OneWheel!'.
    Thanks to the app, I know I don't own the only OW in the neighbourhood or even the city! We have nice floats with the gang from time to time, and I somewhat expected THAT social aspect.. just not the other side of all those great people who are both amazed, curious and a pleasure to talk to :)

I rode and drove pretty much everything that goes into water, air and land. I definitely like flying better than riding… but there’s one thing I really enjoyed riding on the ground, and it is the Onewheel.

  • @DirtSickle1

    Take care of your existing customers. A vast majority have had bad experience with customer service. Show you care about them as much as you care about acquiring new customers.
    I have a Onewheel XR that will not turn on and is out of warranty. I swapped all parts back to stock and sent in as the customer service rep asked. I was told I could pay to have the board fixed.
    Then I was told you refuse to work on it because it has Motor and Cable modifications. It does not and when asked to specify what modifications you were referring to you would not.
    Your company does not sell the parts we need to fix our boards yet you refuse to fix them for us even at a cost. Therefore you leave us with a onewheel that does not operate and lose a customer if we do not buy another. How is this okay by your standards?
    Why would anyone not be allowed to modify their board if it is out of warranty and willing to pay for repairs? Simple modifications such as footpads, tires, rim protectors and battery Guages help provide greater safety and rideability. It makes no sense for you to leave a customer dead in the water that is asking to pay you to fix their board with the needed internal parts that you are not willing to sell separate.

    Onewheel has made me more connected to my community. Before all the errands were in a car hidden by steel and glass. Now I am in the open. Talking to actual people learning the ends and outs of others in my community. I notice more and appreciate more. 1700 miles so far and 95% is spent on the same streets and sidewalks that I live on in my small town. I love what it has done for me. Spending 30 to 45 minutes daily in a mental and physical ZEN state of being can not be overlooked as a minor change.

    Myself and 3 friends were just about to purchase these, then we read the comments about how they brick easily. Additionally, if your onewheel breaks (which it does often) there is only one place in the U.S. that can fix it. Onewheel did this on purpose... for more money. Not to mention there is am embargo on shipping a onewheel because it's labeled under the fedex category "dangerous goods". So if it breaks or the battery goes out (which it will), you're fucked. Stop buying these until the company stops being greedy fucks and allows customers to fix their onewheel themselves or via a local shop. Did I mention, the company will sue any other company who tries to develop new batteries or way to fix a broken onewheel?

    Scam company. They don't let you or anyone else besides them fix or even just replace the battery in YOUR ONEWHEEL. IF YOU TRY TO YOUR SELF ITS BRICKED IT HAS TO BE SENT BACK. If they go out of buisness your money is lost and your left with usless junk! It doesn't have to be like this their older models were NOT LIKE THIS. Many of you have cars and trucks and you can or choose to take it somewhere besides the DEALER to be fixed. Many auto parts stores will replace your car battery for free if you buy it from them. ONEWHEEL FORCES YOU TO USE ONLY THEIR 1 AND ONLY SERVICE CENTER.
