Onewheel is a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single tire, used as a means of transportation and for boardsports. Riders place their feet on either side of the tire to face sideways, leaning forward to accelerate and leaning backward to slow down. The board was engineered to emulate the feeling of snowboarding on powder.[1]
Launched in 2014 by Kyle Doerksen,[2] the project raised over $630,000 on Kickstarter.[3] Since then, 7 Onewheel models have been introduced, with the latest being released in late 2023. The Onewheel lineup includes the Pint, Pint X, GT,[2] and the GT S-Series, which has a top speed of 25 mph and a range up to 25 miles.[4][5] Discontinued models include the original Onewheel, Onewheel+, and Onewheel+ XR. They have been ridden in 139 countries, covering over 170 million miles (273 million kilometers) with more than 300,000 riders globally.[6]
