The Onewheel is an adventure-packed ride, offering unique thrills and experiences like no other. However, it’s not for everyone.

Exploring New York City on a Onewheel is thrilling but requires special preparation. Master mounting, be patient in crowds, use safety gear, and carry a charger. Stick to bike paths, avoid high-security areas, and plan where to recharge. Know rules for each location, and remember, sometimes it’s best to leave the board behind for iconic sites.
Flying with a Onewheel requires preparation and choosing the right model—only the Onewheel+ is generally allowed on flights due to battery restrictions. Clever packing in a large backpack worked best for us, with key tips including printed paperwork, polite interactions with TSA, and dressing professionally. Preparation helped make our experience surprisingly smooth and hassle-free.
If you ride a Onewheel at night, the 247 Viz Blaze – Reflective Vest 360 is a must-have for safety. Discreet grey by day and impressively bright at night, it’s lightweight, breathable, and offers full-angle reflectivity. While pricier than alternatives, it greatly increases night visibility and boasts trustworthy Amazon reviews.
Choosing between the Onewheel XR and Onewheel Plus boils down to what you value: the XR offers superior range and power, perfect for long rides, but it's pricier and can't fly on planes. The Plus, while older with less range, is more affordable—especially used—and travel-friendly. Both have distinct strengths for different needs and budgets.
After learning about Chris' serious Onewheel accident—caused by a high-speed nosedive without a helmet—the author explores the reality and risks of riding Onewheels. Through Chris’ interview and personal reflection, the article stresses the vital importance of safety gear, respecting limits, and fostering greater awareness to prevent traumatic injuries among riders.
Maintaining a clean Onewheel not only keeps it looking sharp, but also ensures optimal grip and safer rides. This article covers a detailed, dry cleaning method involving compressed air, brushes, and a rubber cleaning stick—avoiding water exposure to prevent damage. Remember, Onewheels are water resistant, not waterproof, so steer clear of hosing them down to protect your investment.
As daylight wanes, night riding on a Onewheel offers new thrills—quieter paths, fresh encounters, and a change in scenery. Stay safe by using lights, reflective gear, and a flashlight, choosing well-lit routes, and riding with caution. Always let someone know your whereabouts, wear safety glasses, stay alert, bring your phone, and, if possible, ride with a friend.
Owning a sturdy stand is a must for Onewheel owners, keeping tires off the floor and boards upright. While the official Onewheel Wave stand is stylish yet pricey, alternatives like the Hercules Electric Guitar Stand, Aroma Aluminum Stand, and even basic Home Depot buckets offer effective, budget-friendly options with varying pros and cons for storage and protection.
The Onewheel is water resistant—not waterproof—so extra protection is key. Simple, affordable covers for the charging port and power button can shield these vulnerable areas from water, sand, and debris. If you venture off dry pavement, especially at the beach, investing in these covers helps avoid costly water damage and ensures your board stays in top shape.
Protecting your Onewheel from theft is crucial, given its value and the joy it brings. The Kryptonite Evolution Lite Mini-6 is ideal for the XR, while the TiGr Blue is perfect for the Pint. Register your board, record the serial number, always keep it in sight, and never rely solely on cable locks for security.
