i think their electronic balance is not well made because doing a nose dive mean the electronic get his limit Spedd vs Balance and the board must chose priority to balance and brake himself the wheel to save the balance .

The onewheel will "pushback" to let you know to slow down. When it does this the nose of the board will literally lift up as if the board is trying to brake, if you ride through that or try to push the nose back down the motor stops and the nose dives. This happens when you're going too fast for the motor to keep up or if it's close to over heating and again you need to slowdown. Its not very common to reach the limit of the onewheel, but definitely possible.

It’s super fun. The floating feel is real. It’s the closest thing to surfing or deep powder snowboarding I’ve ever felt. However, I will probably never ride one again. Within 4 days of buying one, (I’m also 62 lifer skater and snowboard) I had a spectacular low speed 2 mph crash that ripped all my hamstrings right off the bone. Back foot came off the board, front stayed on. Helicopter ride to Shock Trauma, 4 days in the hospital, and six weeks non weight bearing before I can even start rehab. I thought my demise would be a high speed crash. This board doesn’t necessarily want to kill you, but it will if you make the slightest dumbass mistake, like I did. Yet and still, I’m tempted. It’s so fun. BEWARE!

And to think they now have these one wheel unicycles that have a much larger single wheel and some of these things are getting speeds up to 70 mph. Like the Begod Master and others.. These things are INSANE and you have to be just as crazy to get on something with one wheel going that fast where you're just standing up. If you have very smooth roads then it can be fun but if you had one good size pothole going at those speeds you're going to find out what it's like to be Superman real fast before you slam face first into the ground and probably break a number of bones if not outright being killed unless you're in a good helmet and body armor. Same goes for these scooters which were basically kids toys and now they have these scooters with little 10-in wheels that go up to 90 miles an hour. These people are out of their minds. I converted my mountain bike to an e-bike and it hit speeds of 30 miles an hour when I have a slight tailwind and even that makes me a little nervous because I've been in motorcycle accidents when I was younger. But I am on a large 26 inch mountain bike that is very solid and has shock absorbers and even still hitting even small potholes and bumps at those speeds I feel it right through the entire bike. Most of these things are death traps and are keeping doctors and emergency rooms in business but they really need to be many more videos like this warning about the dangers of these things

3 people have died due to mechanical failure of the motor shutting off resulting in the nose dive. I had mine for almost 2 years and rode it almost every single day. I just left the ER with 2 major facial lacerations, a fractured nose in several places, dental damage and spinal brain fluid leakage for a nose dive a block away from home due to mechanical failure. I considered myself to be a very advanced rider and extremely athletic. There was zero way to brace properly for such a fall when it’s like driving a car at speed and the brakes completely lock up on your car out of nowhere. You’re at the mercy of fate. Future motion knows this problem and many others exist and have done little to nothing to fix or recall these machines that they KNOW have life threatening risks. I go into surgery next week. In good conscience I will not sell my board. I would never be ok with another human experiencing what happened to me. I’ll never ride mine again. I loved my ONEWHEEL. Like I said, I rode it to work just about every single day, but I was unaware of the ALL TOO COMMON MECHANICAL FAILURE. I am grateful to still be alive. And I feel an obligation to bring awareness to this dangerous malfunction that can be present in any ONEWHEEL BOARD. With such a dangerous risk I could no longer ever recommend the fun of riding a ONEWHEEL from Future Motion to anyone.

CPSC is more or less trying to shut OneWheel down and make people stop riding Onewheels and as a person who made this video, I do not agree with CPSC about this at all. I still ride my OneWheel every chance I get and it has been one of the best joys in my life. And if you're here because of the title or the intro of my video, do not watch half of the video, finish the whole thing. My video is built to show you what can go wrong, so you don't push your luck and respect the devices limitations. As a former skateboarder, windsurfer and a terrible BMX rider that broke many bones riding that bike, I can tell you that every sport has its own dangers. I just believe OneWheel's dangers were not obvious until you face them and that is why my video is scripted the way it is. So, I do not agree with CPSC's decisions, however, I feel like more people should be reminded that they're on a single wheel board that balances itself and it has hard limitations.

Thought this would be a hit piece discouraging anyone from buying one, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how candid this review was. I've been a snowboard instructor for ~20 years, so I really appreciate the discussion about technical aspects and limitations, and how user input / error can lead to a bad time (and hence what to keep in mind when operating one). I knew there would be a learning curve and that it would take some practice before using it on difficult terrain, but this reinforces that and reminds you to stay humble when starting out. I think I want one even more than before, even if all those 'extras' are actually essential and will make that bottom line hurt more than it already does.

As a snowboarder since 1986, I found the feel of deep powder cruising. The carving feels the same, but turning on a one wheel requires some retraining. For instance, on a one wheel, if you get slowed down by spotty thick grass or mud, you have to push weight forward instead of back to get out of it. The turning is almost a mirror image.

Great review. I actually busted my ass on my XR when I first got it. I had it on a lower mode trying to play it “safe” and go slower but all that mode did was initiate kickback at a lower speed. I didn’t understand what was happening. I wasn’t “fighting” the kickback, I was trying to regain my balance because the kickback was throwing me off balance I felt like I was going to fall backwards. I tried to regain my balance and the board kept speeding up. Mind you I wasn’t leaning forward, the board was still leaning back and speeding up. Since it was leaning back I didn’t understand why I wasn’t slowing down and since it was leaning back far back I “fought” to regain my balance and this thing ends up at about 25 mph going through a stop sign with the nose up. It was then I pancaked on my back at 25 mph. My helmet saved my life.

I put 400 miles on the board before my first and only nosedive. My fault. I regret nothing. Funniest thing I've ever ridden and I've rode a bunch of stuff.

Slide Wreck Dan I really wish they’d leverage the BT functionality to make an audible pushback function. Think along the lines of the beeping that becomes ever more furious on vehicle park distance control as you approach an obstacle. As the available motive force and expended motive force approach parity you warn of an impending under power by going from infrequent beeps to a steady tone. I also think being able to set an artificial top speed might allow for additional pushback effort as you’ve got more reserve torque on hand if you’re not busy overcoming top speed rider wind resistance and rolling losses. I have a pair of pints and I understand the pushback is more pronounced on these smaller machines.

True true. I bought mine and won't say I regret it, but I definitely underestimated the learning curve and I will attribute that to my lack of research before buying. Onewheel company doesn't really make any efforts to warn their customer's about this learning curve in my opinion. I nose-dived earlier this week while practicing breaking and slammed my head against the pavement. If I was not wearing a helmet I would probably have a serious concussion. I am enjoying the process of learning and will say that the product is very enjoyable, but it's definitely not something I would recommend someone if they want to be able to commute safely right out of the box. Also, I don't know how much this would hurt their profits, but I think it's pretty sneaky not to offer some sort of 30-day money-back guarantee. It makes it seem like the company knows that they are marketing the product to seem super easy, safe, and chill while knowing that the average consumer will get the product while super hyped by the ads and realize that they are better off buying a more traditional EV.

Great video! I bought the plus a couple years ago and loved it but after around 1,200 miles and many nosedives later I no longer trust them and have moved on to EUC. THE Onewheel also makes my knees hurt. I live in the mountains and the weak little Onewheel can’t handle the off-road stuff like the EUC especially if you throw a rough grass hill in there. If you are watching this and thinking of getting a Onewheel I very strongly suggest getting an electric unicycle instead. Top of the line ones are practically the same price as a XR but get more than double range, higher speed ( meaning if you ride about 18-20mph or slower like me you’ll never overpower the system and eat shit), better off road capability, most have a trolley handle like a luggage case for easy transport, more natural standing position reducing fatigue by a lot so you can use that extra range and during most fails you simply end up going from riding to trotting instead of kissing pavement, can jump up curbs instead of bonking, can ride down stairs, some versions have an included mud guard so you can save $100. Actually you save more than that if you factor in all the items needed to complete the Onewheel turd just to be able to do some (not all) of the stuff I do on my $2,000 KS16X. You need a fender, flight fins, an external battery even on their XR. Still won’t go the 70-90 miles my 16X will on a charge and still can’t handle the mountain bike trails we ride 🤷🏽‍♂️. Still gotta carry it so you might as well get that $100 handle too 😂. With an EUC you’ll wipe the smile right off a Onewheel riders face as you run circles around them safer and for less money. Onewheels are cool if you don’t want to do a whole lot of adventure riding, go very far, or if you don’t mind charging a lot. Idk about the XR but the plus only goes about 3-5 miles max in the winter on smooth pavement and it’s rated at 5-7 miles. This is like less than half an hour of riding around with range anxiety on top of that. I don’t see the XR being worth the price. Enough rambling. If I saved just one person from wasting their money or getting hurt then it’s worth it!

The one wheel is a bad design. The correct configuration for that kind of vehicle is the electric unicycle with your feet to the sides of the wheel. Electric unicycles (EUCs) have been around for a few years, and are much more stable. They also have larger wheels which makes them more stable on rough ground. Manufacturers of EUCs have learned to use MUCH larger motors and batteries that what is available on the one wheel. This provides not only higher speeds, but much better safety margin, as a valuable power headroom is what keeps you from face planting when you lean forward. I have ridden a King Song 16 and 18XL for thousands of miles and never had a crash caused by lack of power or mechanical failure.

Surgery yesterday March 22, and now I have a titanium plate and 9 screws. Should bought some wrist guards. Be warned my friends. At least wear wrist guards. I was on a pint. Stay safe my friends.

Great video! The Onewheel offers freedom and danger that almost no other electric vehicle can, which I think is part of the appeal... much like riding a motorcycle. Be safe and enjoy the ride! It's not a matter of if you fall, but when , so be safe!

I'm sure there are plenty of comments already since this is a two year old thread, but if you're an adrenaline junking like it seems then you need to add electric unicycles to your mix of toys. They are much fast, much longer battery life and a completely different feel. Nothing really to compare between the two, except that they both only have a single wheel, but definitely something to add to your mix of fun on wheels ... if you have money to burn. Or you could sell something and then get one. Either way, look into it if you haven't already.

OK Tyler Durden, just make sure you think of it less as a “thing” and more as a hobby, and don’t put too much hope in it that it’ll change your life. You won’t be able to ride it on the street with other cars, and the police don’t want you riding it on sidewalks either. Protection is smart and will come in handy. But it can be fun.

I have a Onewheel pint and I love it!!! I use it almost every day. I have more than 400 miles one it and I've crashed 2 times badly because I felt pushback and wanted to feel the speed of it and kept going faster. After you crash once on a OneWheel you then ride way more cautiously and realize that it's not a speed machine it's for a nimble flowy ride. I feel like your title of this video is a little misleading. Deadliest in my mind means you die or have a very high chance of dying from riding it, not just getting hurt. Also comparing a OneWheel to another skateboard or scooter is like comparing apples and oranges, they are two different things. Anyway #helmetsarecool

I ride my Onewheel every day, it is an unbelievable vehicle. There's nothing that comes close to the feeling of Onewheeling . It is truly an amazing experience. As with any wheeled vehicle there are risks associated. Onewheel has built in many safely features. 99.9% of nose dives are from riders ignoring these safety features. Respect the board, ride to your ability and have fun. I would 100% recommend Onewheel to anyone, board experience or not.
