10 Years of Onewheel

Ten years ago, the first Onewheel prototypes could barely ride around the parking lot. Today, hundreds of thousands of riders enjoy the experience worldwide. It's been a wild ride and a lot of fun. Together, we've created a culture and a boardsport that few could have imagined possible. A decade strong and more to come. To celebrate, we went back into the archives to create a short documentary of the journey.
Thanks to all the riders that have made this movement so special and here's to many more years ahead.
If you're looking to start your Onewheel journey, take advantage of our 10th Anniversary Summer Sale on Pint X onewheel.com/pages/onewheel-p...
A big thanks also to the following folks who contributed footage to the project:
Robert Campbell
John Grace
Cameron Venti
And countless clips from all of the riders out there

“We need things that make people optimistic and hopeful about the future of technology and the world.” … Seems like we need that now more than ever!

[@flowsolo]

No doubt!

[@Onewheel]

Certainly still holds true today.

[@craftandride]

10 years later and it feels like Onewheel is just getting started. This community and the sport has blossomed into an unstoppable force. Congratulations to y'all on 10 years of making the future rad. Now just imagine what the next 10 years will bring. 💡

[@TEDDiBullwinkel]

Of course, it’s just started. No competition - no development & no evolution. Pride is the mask of one's own mistakes.

[@Yielar1]

@@TEDDiBullwinkel Oh Teddy Winkel, you sound like a good time. Lol

[@CLEt.v]

These guys suck and need to close up shop and sell the patents to people who care for the riders 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ericugland7990]

Riding onewheels changed my life forever. I expected a fun toy but instead I got a tool for mental well being and community involvement. I never expected to find something that would connect me with so many new people. Forever grateful for the existence of Onewheel, only wish I had started sooner. But I know this is just the beginning of what’s to come. 🤙

[@GaboMuchacho]

Seriously, the Onewheel has been so good for me physically and mentally I am in love but it’s like having a really nice day but remembering your step dad is waiting for you at home and he’s gonna beat you for buying his board. The attitude in our local Onewheel community (which is sizable) is “f*******k I have to deal with FM” and someone steps in and suggests a reputable PEV shop and they sigh with relief. FM consumer policies sound like they’re written by a guy who you KNOW you shouldn’t have lent your money too but says he’s good for it. I feel like they should just sell their accessories and even Onewheels out of reputable shops since after 10 years they’re still afraid to take a return. I think they’re afraid to lose money by being good to their customers but now most of them want nothing to do with them after they get the board.

I remember when i got mine when i was thirteen, it was a pint and i remember begging my mom everyday to get a Onewheel and i finally ended up getting one. it was actually a life changer, it would help my mom out so much, she didn't have to take me to so much places. the drive from school was 30mins each day and my mom ended up always being late to work now there's no worry. Thank you One wheel ❤

Can’t thank Onewheel enough for all the great times that my XRs have brought me and my family. My wife and I ride together all the time on trails at Winman and other places. My dad even got into riding mountain bikes now just so he can follow us around on our boards. One day we will get him on a Onewheel 😅 My XR has evolved just like your brand has and even though now the only original FM part on it is the hyper core since it’s running VESC software, I still thank you guys for designing the XR form factor which I still consider to be the best yet.

Fantastic movie to celebrate 10 years of the most fantastic invention in personal mobility and so much more. Loved every second of it. So glad to be a part of it and of one of the best communities around, which despite its meanwhile enormous size, somehow always feels like family. As a Belgian passionate about snowboarding, it's always been such a frustration to have to drive 9 hours to the alps to ride a bit. Then wakeboarding offered some level of relief. And then Onewheel changed my life. Riding every day from the front door. Thank you for changing the world, Onewheel! Cheers to many more years of floating.

What a great video showing the initial start and progression all the way to present day. First time I saw someone riding a OW down the street I was blown away and just knew I needed to have my own one day. Was probably 2 years later when they launched the GT that finally got me off the fence. Haven't looked back and bring it to all sorts of life events like camping to crusing around downtown with friends. Seeing peoples eyes light up when I ride by from 2 years old all the way to 90 is unlike anything else I've experienced. Truely a life altering invention. Happy to be a part of the OW lifestyle.

[@crunchytee]

Now the only difference between Onewheel and board sports is your patent being locked down. Your move, FM. If you want to see this grow, you have to let it grow.

[@ZOMBIESNEPER]

True i wouldn’t call onewheel a sport if one company has complete control over it

[@CayoticProphet]

I will admit that Kyle is developing and advancing much faster than Henry Ford did. If I'm not mistaken, from 1903-1920 (17 years), the Model T didn't change much because of the limited competition. The OneWheel has changed drastically in 10 years. That being said, if we do not allow competition in this arena, we will not see the level of innovation we would experience if we had adequate competition. This is the reason the MADDEN NFL FOOTBALL franchise hasn't innovated much since EA Sports "unalived" NFL2K5. All because they sold a better game for $20 less. (You heard that right!) Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

[@crunchytee]

@@CayoticProphet yeah, at the end of the day, opening up onewheel and putting the patents in public domain would create a huge market which is required for mass adoption. Onewheel would be a competitor (with a huge head start, mind you), and you’d have other brands with similar products tailored to different purposes. Take skateboarding for example (A great example because onewheel and one of the major skateboard suppliers - NHS are both from Santa Cruz), skateboarding would have never been able to enter the mass adoption phase with just one brand making them. Any hobby, board sport, market, industry, surrounds many businesses creating products (RC cars, skateboards, automotive, surfing, etc). If onewheel wants any of the above, they need to open up the market.

[@Yielar1]

Sounds like you have no idea about IP and what it takes to start and run a similar company. I'm so happy that Kyle started the company he did and I wouldn't have done it any other way. Just laugh when I see whiners like yourself crying about something you have no clue about. Get a life dude

[@Yielar1]

@@ZOMBIESNEPER It's definitely a sport and other companies can try to make whatever they want but of course they need to work around the patents just like any other tech company on the planet. Common sense for most
