What's Amazing about Onewheel is the experience of riding it. We've combined the motion technology
form a smartphone with the motor and battery technology like you'd find in a Tesla to create
a self-balancing electric skateboard controlled simply by leaning your body.
We started with the dream of a hoverboard, the smooth feeling of flying over pavement.
And inspired by this vision of the future we created an incredible ride that feels like
a natural extension of your balance.
Onewheel is designed to be intuitive. Whether you are a pro or never been on a board you
can learn the basics in under a minute. And there's plenty of room to challenge yourself
by riding more aggressively or inventing new tricks.
There are no hand controls, you just lean toward your front foot to go faster and your
back foot to slow down or even reverse. Regenerative breaking kicks in as you come to a stop. At
the heart of Onewheel is a state of the art, direct drive Brushless Motor in the Hub of
the wheel.
Movement and balance are achieved by a custom controller that reads gyro and accelerometer
sensors thousands of times per second. The high-speed charger gives a lithium battery
minute to minute charge.
We made Onewheel a useable and dynamic experience and unlike skateboarding where you feel every
little crack and pebble in the street, Onewheel feels a lot more like surfing or snowboarding.
The large tire and carefully tuned algorithms allow you to carve the pavement as if it were
water or fresh powder.
I remember I was a kid watching Back to the Future and just dreaming of what it would
be like to be on a board floating above the street. Every time I'm on a Onewheel I think
about that, it feels like just flying down the road. It's this wonderful feeling of just
stepping on this thing and thinking about where you want to go and you're off. You lean
very much like you do on a snowboard you lean into the turns you want to go on and Onewheel
just kind of carves for you its a pretty magical experience. Its like taking that mountain
laying it out flat and every street becomes a fresh powder run.
We've invested five years and a lot of money building countless prototypes to get Onewheel
where it is today. Everyone who rides it loves it, and with your help We want to make Onewheel
available to the world.
We've worked with all kinds of manufacturers on other products, and we believe that the
U.S. is the best place to build an advanced product like Onewheel. But that kind of quality
costs money so we need backers like you to share our vision of creating amazing electric
vehicles.
With you backing we'll pay for tooling costs and build the first ever Onewheel production
line. Join us in revolutionizing the experience of riding.
