​@@jamesflaherty4713yeah no way you, yourself, are responsible for a hundredth of the miles ridden by every single person who owns a one wheel. 100,000,000 miles ridden in total, mind you.

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.

Rossman says the battery is not replaceable. Is this true ?

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.

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.

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.

I originally got the Onewheel to just help me get from my apartment to my university. I realize now that I find any excuses to go out and ride my Onewheel once the homework is done. Riding downtown has never been so freeing

I didn’t realize on my flat farmland property that this would be the most fun way to not only take out the trash, but get from one side of the property to another without being upset about walking!! Big thanks on the pint I’m stoked

One thing I didn’t know when I bought my first OneWheel was… I didn’t know it would bring me and my son so close and how many memories it would create for us….not to mention I didn’t know I’d own three within 9 months of buying my first one! Onewheel brought my family closer. (So much more to this story, but I’ll keep it simple)

What I didn't know: Is that it makes you forget about everything going on in your life. You forget about the time. You forget about the problems. You're just in the moment and its so refreshing.

I saw Wren from corridor replace its tyre with a normal threaded tyre 🤔

I recently got a pint and I’ve been on a 15 day streak and put 52 miles on that shred master! I was so bored before I started my one wheel journey but now I’m finding the city is my playground!! Got to love the one wheel!

I didn’t think I’d ride to 5000 miles in 1 year, and I thought I would have replaced more parts by now. I didn’t think it would inspire 5 of my friends to save up for onewheels either Hugely… I didn’t realize the onewheel was equivalent in cost to 75 Ubers🤯 That’s what I say when ppl ask me how much it costs, that or 30 gas tank fill ups if they drive

I didn't realize changing the tire voids the warranty!

One thing I didn’t realize about one wheel was my tire was going to start going flat after 127 miles. Due to where I live it’s going to cost me $184.94 to have it shipped, and repaired. It started not working properly, like losing power like the battery was dead too which I’m hoping has something to do with the tire going flat. So, I’m basically paying over a dollar a mile after the initial cost of the one wheel if I want to keep riding. I honestly can’t believe they don’t honor the product up to a certain amount of miles. I wasn’t even riding the thing all crazy like you see them doing in the videos🙄. From where I’m sitting right now this was the dumbest purchase I have ever made!

I bought my 1st Onewheel to relieve a little stress. 2 months later, I became a OneWheel retailer in Charlotte, NC. 2 years later, I've now sold hundreds of boards and accessories to so many different kinds of people, it's been amazing! I even wrapped one of my trucks in Onewheel/ V-12 Motorsports ads and the response has been incredible!

Playing the age card. I am 47. Skate boarded and snow boarded a shart ton when I was younger. Just didn’t realize until I got both of my + XR that it could be so easy and get me back outside doing what I love and being creative with every ride.

Have loved my pint from the day I bought it, I have low back disability though and it was hurting it more unfortunately so I had to switch to a suspension EUC (electric unicycle) and it’s so amazing for what it’s good at but nothing can take the place of a one wheel and I feel obligated to say that because it’s a great way to shred and have fun during the journey and half the fun is getting there 🤙🌅 Thanks one wheel team!! Keep rocking and improving!!!

Just got my XR about a week ago. Actually, I’ve been watching vids since the zombie apocalypse started and finally got one… well to be honest my son’s elf on the shelf brought me one through their wishes of getting one for their dada. After all my research I figured I had all the angles down, (fun rides, rad commutes challenging learning curve). The one thing I didn’t realize is how much this thing is fully just brain soap. Yes brain soap. You go out in a ride, perhaps a little tense from whatever; and when you get back you feel…. Better. Much better. Thank you FM for the brain soap.

That it is almost impossible for the end user to replace the battery on their device rendering a $2000 product useless once the battery dies 🤯🤯🤯🤯

You meet so many people that have no idea what it is and it becomes a great conversation starter

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!!!

How addictive it is-- Already put in over 100 miles in my first week and just finished my first group ride today. Got to shred good dirt for the first time, too; I think it's time to hit the trails 😎

My XR has been the best for getting around college. I love shredding the mulch around trees and going up and down banks. Makes me feel like I'm surfing to class. Almost at 1000 miles!! Shred on!

I didn’t realize how genuinely awesome the community is. People from this awesome community are always helping each other out just because it’s the decent thing to do with no agenda. It’s amazing to have friends all around the world talking to each other about how to spread stoke and happiness.

It's my magic carpet that gets me everywhere I want, my travel assistent, my funmachine, my stoke capcitor. I love Onewheel! BUT without my extended Battery and my VNR (external Battery) I would only be able to experience one third of this floatlife. Future Motion (the company behind Onewheel) further and further tries to lockout this extentions and sues every company that creates workaround (just today we heard of them taking JW Battery to the court). WHY? Probably because of meanness? because of avariance? No, no, no ... because they feel it impounds their intellectual property... that's a joke guys. I mean, what's so diffucult about it?? Either bring your own extended battery and external Battery or leave this task for anyone else. #fixfuturemotion #nooffense #onewheelonelove

I didn’t know that adventures could be close to home :)) until I owned a Onewheel the amount of terrain and cool things I have been able to see and experience with my friend while one wheeling couldn’t have been done on any other rideable

Well you know now

I didn't realize how relaxing it would be to ride! Its awesome just to ride and carve and not think about a single thing.

As a firmer skateborder who boarded with the likes of Frankie hill, and admam mcnattt (former Powell Peralta riders) it helped me recapture the imagination you mentioned in being on a paved road, seeing a dirt road, and wondering, hmm i wonder what’s down that road, and being able to explore and find out, pure adventuring. And I love it!!!

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

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)

Same goes for e skateboards in general. All are a great way to slow down and explore your journey in a new way. Any plans to update the larger one wheel soon with longer range ?

Exploring my new area, I've recently moved and commute for work so I just drove through my new town and miss all the hidden gems! Now I have my onewheel, It has encouraged me to explore and shred lots of sweet spots around my new home! Thank you Onewheel!

It took me faceplanting on a rental to decide I wanted one, as weird as it is the raw experience of it drew me in, reminded me how a surfboard or a snowboard doesn’t limit you but also won’t save you when you screw up

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 :)

It really opened me up to my own neighborhood as well as other parks I'd never been to but aren't a long drive from my home. It's a cool way to explore metro cities, too! I've been on solo and group rides through Minneapolis, MN.

I’ve been skydiving for the past 25 years… after thousands and thousands of jumps Onewheel was the only thing that brought me a similar level of fun and freeing feeling. 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.

I own 2 of them straight from future motion, but the main thing for me is their massive practicality, I can almost substitute my truck with one of my onewheels for my 10 mile commute.

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. (Include a fender, even if it's a flexible one, Future Motion, come on!) ;)

I did realise how much of my local area was there to explore. The world becomes smaller and larger at the same time! I genuinely feel happier when I'm gently carving late a night. 700 miles in now and I WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT IT!

Looking out for policemen who can fine you and impound your board everywhere you ride on public road.

Before I owned a OW, I realized how much I didn’t have to spend on gas because the world I existed in on a regular day’s commute became a whole lot more accessible and fun to travel to with my board that I spend $0 on gas to ride.

When I got my one wheel it was like the world became so much bigger, but smaller at the same time. I can go places way further, but also way faster. My trip into town became an easy 2-4 minutes, instead of having to schedule my whole day around it. I’ve fallen a few times, but what I found is because it only has one wheel, if the road is getting bad, you can tell, and slow down, that might just be me. I want to get treaded tires, because I live in new England. Lots of snow. So that will expand the stoke even more!

For me, the Onewheel is the only piece of "tech" I own that makes the outdoors more interesting. Unlike pretty much any other gadget, when I ride my XR I feel alive and healthy - and for someone who spends 8+ hours a day in front of a screen for work, that is a piece of tech WELL worth having.

I don't skateboard and have never been on a snowboard, so I was genuinely worried I wouldn't be able to do it. I'm definitely still learning, but it is so comfortable and natural feeling now that I love to ride it everywhere even for mundane things like going to get the mail. Like you said in the video, it gets me from point a to point b, but in a fun way compared to walking.

I realized how a one wheel is able to take hills and mountains. with mtn bikes! the top speed doesn’t need to be faster when on technical terrain and I think it’s a good balance of power and ability even if the speed or millage isn’t high but that would be nice one day to accomplish for the one wheel team! Keep rocking! Much love

I didn't realize how bad whiping out at 19mph on gravel felt but totally worth it 🙌🙌

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?

They brick themselves if you unplug your battery.

When I turned 16 I got my first car. It killed skateboarding for me. I bought a car for about the same amount of money I would have spent on a nice skateboard. I can't do as many tricks on my car, but it opens the world up more.

2:32 so I used to skateboard. And everything I see outside is something that can be used for something as an obstacle and the world basically becomes your playground. So I completely get this idea. With the one wheel being more versatile and can go on different terrains. Can only imagine what else is out there to see!

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. My comment has been screenshoted and if removed. I will post the evidence of it being removed on social media. And it will be used as proof of shady practices.

Another people can fix it wdym

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.

How much you engage with people and explain about the board . ....I am forever stopping to talk to people about it.. much love from the UK

It curbs depression/anxiety and even helped with my loneliness after I had to move away from my girlfriend, family, and friends. I literally helped me clear my mind and meet some of the coolest people!

Same!

To much bad press concerning one wheels on youtube lately... coming from outside US I need some sot of confidence before I buy one. Rights to repair is very important since I cant be shipping out my one wheel every time my board has a problem. One wheel has to understand that there product has demand even outside of US and should know how to build confidence even in people outside of US. I think One Wheels are great product, just listen to the riders and sot there issues coz they are the ones who will refer more people to the product.

You don't know how they will fuck you over untill you buy a one wheel.

That burm shown at 2:30 is the type of thing that I just love to spot and break for it on impulse and get that rush as I plow through it! I'm 51 and I still tear it up. It scares my wife to see me launching off curbs while hauling ass or go flying off trail around the slow people in the way. Once we got our onewheels we never took our bikes out again and I have 10,000 miles so far. I just ordered a GT because I can't get enough speed and acceleration!

My best part of the day is going to work and coming back on my Onewheel, honestly, I don't know anyone else who even appreciate those moments

Me to 😂 I tell everybody that when they see me pulling up to work.

I never realized how much of a zen machine it was

.Hands Down #1 Reason. CONVERSATION with my kids. My son started a power washing business at 12 yrs old. Bought a wheel. His twin sister joined the effort and got one too. I felt left out, now we have 3… Hundreds of miles later we have had some of the most meaningful and impactful conversations yet. The best advice I can give is ‘date’ your kids. One on one time is so important and our wheels are a way to make that happen!

I would have never considered myself as a person that could ride any type of board. But after putting 500+ miles on my Pint, I now have the confidence to try other things like snowboarding and wakeboarding! I also never imagined that because of my Pint I'd start uploading videos of my rides to KZread!

just how intuitive it really is! whenever I hop on my XR I still feel like it’s a whole other part of me
