FAQ Onewheels

What is a Onewheel?

A Onewheel is an electric one-wheel board known for its innovative design and advanced technology. It offers a unique mode of transportation that can be used on both streets and off-road. Onewheels are ideal for commuters, adventurers, and anyone who enjoys new riding techniques. The Onewheel is controlled solely by standing on the footboards and shifting your weight. Highly sensitive sensors in the footboards respond to the smallest changes in weight distribution. All Onewheels are completely controlled without a remote.

The right Onewheel depends on your needs and riding style. The Onewheel Pint is ideal for beginners and short city trips. The Pint X offers more range and power for longer rides and light off-road use.

If you are a heavier rider or have larger feet (shoe size over 46), the GT/GT-S is the better choice for a comfortable riding experience.
