All five ways to ride

THE COMMUTE YOU WANT TO REPEAT

Your route.
With more carve.

Carving along on a Onewheel is a good reason to look forward to the ride home. There are no handlebars or remote, and the board needs much less storage space than a bike. It takes time to learn, though. Get comfortable stopping and stepping off before putting a workday deadline on the ride.

WHY IT WORKS

Why choose one?

01

The carve

You ride sideways and steer with your weight. If you enjoy that feeling, a few miles to work can become a part of the day you look forward to.

02

No bars or remote

Control comes from your stance and balance. Keep your hands available for balance and your attention on the road.

03

Easy to find room for

A board can fit in an office corner where a full-size bike won’t. Check that the building allows it, and try carrying it before buying.

04

Tight turns

With practice, you can turn in a small space and choose a line precisely. Leave plenty of room around other people.

05

Beyond smooth pavement

The large air-filled tire opens up suitable gravel and uneven routes. Your skill, the tire, weather and local trail rules still determine where you can ride.

Range conditions
Future Motion doesn't give rider weight, speed or temperature for these estimates. They aren't measured commute results.
What the listed weight includes
Manufacturer's weight. Tires and accessories can change what you have to carry, so check the version you're ordering.
Brakes
Rider-controlled electronic motor braking with regeneration; no separate hand-operated mechanical brake. Full-battery downhill regeneration is a specific manufacturer warning.
Suspension
None; comfort comes from the pneumatic tire, tire pressure, and rider technique.
Tires / wheels
Slick pneumatic tire; 6-inch Pint hub.
Battery and charging
Built-in battery. Standard charging: 225 minutes. Optional faster charger is not included. Use the charger specified for this exact model.
Included for commuting
Integrated lights and the named Home Charger. Confirm fender and accessory bundle separately.
Service and warranty
Board and included Home Charger: one year or 1,243 miles, whichever comes first. Battery and listed wear parts: six months or 622 miles. Water damage, misuse and damage from unauthorized changes are excluded; the claim and shipment must happen within the warranty period. Future Motion handles support remotely and lists San Jose, California as its only authorized repair facility, so repairs may mean shipping the board.
Electrical certification
We haven't verified a system or battery certification record, or an EU Declaration of Conformity, for this model. That doesn't mean none exists. CE marking isn't UL certification, and a certified charger or cell doesn't certify the whole ride.
What still needs checking
Check the version and included equipment when ordering.
Speed / class
Up to 20 mph, manufacturer claim. Your local speed limit may be lower, and some routes may not allow this ride.
Tire care
Future Motion says stock boards already contain sealant. Find out what's inside before adding Armor-Dilloz Red, and follow the current installation guide for a compatible tire. Keep checking pressure; punctures that won't seal need repair. Tire care and Armor-Dilloz
