SAFETY OVERVIEW

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 7GENERAL WARNINGS GENERAL WARNINGS Like any sport, Onewheeling involves risk of injury. By choosing to ride a Onewheel+, you assume the responsibility for that risk. It’s important that you understand and practice the rules of safe and responsible riding and proper use and maintenance to reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “WARNINGS” and “CAUTIONS” concerning the consequences of failing to follow safe riding practices and properly maintain and inspect your Onewheel+.

There are risks associated with the use of any boardsport that cannot be predicted or avoided, and those are the sole responsibility of the rider.
The word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury, serious damage to your Onewheel+ and the voiding of your warranty. The word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

RIDE SAFELY Whether you’re a pro or brand new to boardsports, it’s always important to ride safely. Here are a few tips to ensure that you and your Onewheel+ stay in one piece. HELMET Always wear an approved helmet when riding your Onewheel+. Be sure to attach the chinstrap and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and general care.
OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT It’s a good idea to wear wrist guards, elbow pads and kneepads for extra protection. SHOES Always wear shoes that will stay on your feet and grip the board. Never ride barefoot or in flip-flops. SEE SECTION 05 “MORE WAYS TO RIDE SAFELY” FOR MORE SAFETY INFORMATION.
WARNING: Many local governments legislate “road worthy” laws and require specific safety equipment. It is your responsibility to familiarize and comply with all applicable laws of the location where you ride your Onewheel+. This includes properly equipping yourself and your Onewheel+ as required by law.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 17RIDING YOUR ONEWHEEL+ 02 RIDING YOUR ONEWHEEL+
AN INCREDIBLE RIDE Quite simply the most beautiful riding experience on the planet. Snowboard all year, hack your commute, dominate terrain, and try to wipe that grin off your face. So easy grampa can do it, so fun the pros can’t get enough of it. Onewheel+ is designed to be intuitive. Anyone can learn the basics in just a few minutes. Once you start riding regularly, there’s plenty of room to challenge yourself.
BEFORE YOU GET ON YOUR ONEWHEEL+ • Always do a safety check before each ride. • Read all safety instructions. • Wear a helmet and other protective gear. • Choose a safe, controlled and calm environment
away from cars, crowds, obstacles and other potential hazards.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 19RIDING YOUR ONEWHEEL+ BASIC BALANCE Remember, Onewheel+ is self-balancing so there’s no need to muscle your way onto the board. Instead, use slow, small movements. When Onewheel+ is on the ground, you’ll notice a lower side and a higher side. Always step onto the lower side first. Then place your other foot onto the rider- dectection area. Keep your legs straight (like you are standing on the ground) with a very slight bend in your knees. Stand up slowly and Onewheel+ will engage.
TIP: Have a friend’s shoulders handy to help you the first few times you get on your Onewheel+. After practicing a few times, we promise you’ll be a pro. TIP: Look where you want to go (don’t look down). TIP: Use light, constant pressure to control your Onewheel+. TIP: Don’t bend your knees, rather stand tall on your first rides.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 21RIDING YOUR ONEWHEEL+
WARNING: Riding hills exceeding a 15% grade is extremely dangerous and may result in loss of control or damage to your Onewheel+.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING Decelerating while going downhill recharges the Onewheel+ battery.
UNDERSTANDING THE FOOTPAD
The front footpad is pressure sensitive and divided into two zones, one on each side of the central line. Both zones must be pressed to begin riding. To stop, slow to a standstill and then remove your foot from one/both zones.
TIP: Avoid repositioning your foot while riding.
DIRECTION AND SPEED Lean forward to move forward, and lean back to slow down or to move backwards. The more you lean, the faster you’ll go.
TURNING Use subtle heel-toe pressure for turning left or right. You will begin to turn in the direction you lean. The more you lean, the sharper the turn.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 23RIDING YOUR ONEWHEEL+
WAYS TO DISMOUNT When you’re done riding, slow down to a standstill by leaning backward to decelerate. Then either lift your heel while maintaining balance or jump off with both feet.
TIP: Both rider-dectection areas must be pressed to start riding. If you slow down and remove your foot from only one area, the Onewheel+ will disengage. WARNING: Never step off with your back foot first (the foot not on the rider-dectection area). This increases risk of a fall and possible injury.
RANGE Range varies on an assortment of factors including rider weight and riding style, terrain, inclines and declines and tire pressure. For optimal range, we recommend the following tips:
TIP: Fully charge your Onewheel+. TIP: Ensure the tire pressure is at 20psi.

25MAINTAINING YOUR ONEWHEEL+
03 MAINTAINING YOUR ONEWHEEL+
SAFETY CHECK Doing regular safety checks will help prolong the life of your Onewheel+. We recommend that you carefully inspect your Onewheel+ before every ride to make sure that there are no loose, damaged or unusually worn parts. All nuts and bolts should be tight. Most Onewheel+ components were designed so that they can be easily replaced if there is a problem. CONTACT ONEWHEEL CUSTOMER SERVICE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. EMAIL [e-mail]
WARNING: Before performing any minor work on your Onewheel+, make sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position. WARNING: The footpads are an integral part of the safety sytem for the Onewheel+. Never ride with damaged wood or grip tape, and never attempt to replace grip tape. Replacement footpads are available at www.onewheel.com. CAUTION: Riding a damaged Onewheel+ will void its warranty.
CAUTION: Never attempt to remove or replace grip tape with aftermarket grip tape. CAUTION: Riding with a damaged footpad is extremely dangerous. Replace immediately.
END BLOCKS End blocks are designed as wear-and-tear components and must be replaced as they wear. More details can be found at https://onewheel.com/support FOOTPADS Inspect footpads for any cracks, punctures or tears in the grip tape, particularly in the rider-dectection area. If you notice any damage, contact [e-mail] for replacement parts.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 27MAINTAINING YOUR ONEWHEEL+ TIRE Check your Onewheel+ tire for any cuts in the tread and sidewall. Also be sure it is sufficiently inflated, but below 20 PSI. The best way to check and inflate your Onewheel+ tire is with a quality digital gauge and compressor at your local gas station. If your tire is damaged or has a hole, please visit our website for more information: https://onewheel.com/support
WARNING:Exceeding the recommended maximum pressure of 20 PSI (1.4 bar) could damage your Onewheel+ and result in injury. It will also void your warranty. WARNING: Riding Onewheel+ with a flat or under- inflated tire will void your warranty. CAUTION: Pencil-type automotive tire gauges can be inaccurate. Always use a quality digital gauge.
BATTERY The Onewheel+ battery should travel approximately five miles on a single charge. Be careful not to overcharge or undercharge your battery. The battery should be charged at least once every two months. Failure to do so may void your warranty. You must dispose lithium batteries according to local laws and regulations.
WARNING: If the battery pack appears to be damaged or is not holding a charge, please don’t use it. For further assistance, contact Onewheel+ customer support at 1-800-283-7943 or send an email to [email protected] CAUTION: Do not expose the battery to extreme high or low temperatures. These may degrade or damage the battery pack.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 29MAINTAINING YOUR ONEWHEEL+ BATTERY CHARGER Use only the provided Ultracharger (model FY5803500) to charge your Onewheel+. Charging time may take up to one hour. NOTE: The FY5803500 charger can operate on 110V-240V and has an output of 58.4V 3.5A. Depending on your country, a plug adapter may be required.
HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY
Connect the charger to an “AC” supply and then to the Onewheel+ charging port. The charger will display a red light. A green light will appear when the battery pack is fully charged, and the charger will automatically stop charging. Disconnect the charger by pressing the release button on the charging plug and pulling firmly. TIP: Periodically leave the charger attached to your Onewheel+ overnight to allow the battery pack to thoroughly balance.
01 02 03
WARNING: Only use the FY5803500 charger to charge your Onewheel+. Use of any other charger will void your warranty and may damage your Onewheel+. WARNING: All electronic and drive components may only be repaired by Future Motion or by a Onewheel+ authorized service center. Any other adjustments will void your warranty. WARNING: Don’t begin any repairs or adjustments on your Onewheel+ until you properly understand how to complete them. An improper adjustment or repair may result in damage to your Onewheel+ or a potentially serious injury. A qualified Onewheel+ mechanic should perform complex services, maintenance and repairs in a properly equipped facility.

ONEWHEEL+ OWNER’S MANUAL 35GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ONEWHEEL+ Like everything in life, Onewheel+ has its limits. If at any time you attempt to go too fast, ascend a very steep hill or ride with a low battery, your Onewheel+ will “push back.” In a push-back situation, the nose of the board will lift to slow the rider down. The only way to avoid push back is to decrease your speed by leaning back. If you’d like to go a bit faster, you can switch your Digital Shaping to a more aggressive setting. This will have a higher threshold for push back.
WARNING: Ignoring safety warnings, including push back, may result in loss of control, serious injury or death.
PUSH BACK
FULL-BATTERY PUSH BACK When the battery is fully charged and you continue to charge it through regenerative braking (e.g., traveling downhill), you may experience “Full-Battery Push Back.” This is to prevent overcharging the battery cells. If this happens, simply switch your Onewheel+ OFF and ON again, and travel up the hill for a few moments to expend some of the charge. You will now be able to continue riding downhill.
LOW-BATTERY PUSH BACK When your Onewheel+ battery is extremely low, it will perform a much more aggressive push back and will become inoperative. This means a full battery charge is needed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to ride down a long or steep hill with a freshly charged Onewheel+. Loss of control or damage to your Onewheel+ may occur.
CAUTION: Continuing to ride when low-battery push back occurs may result in sudden shutdown or damage to your Onewheel+.

WARNING: Failure to confirm the compatibility of, or to properly install, operate or maintain any component or accessory on your Onewheel+ can result in serious injury or death and will void your warranty. CAUTION: Changing or modifying any Onewheel+ factory component will void your warranty.
NEVER MODIFY YOUR ONEWHEEL+ Fortunately, your Onewheel+ is pretty much perfect as is. So there’s no need to add any extra bells and whistles. Modifying or changing the appearance or performance of your Onewheel+ is not advised and could potentially increase your risk of injury. If you have specific questions, please contact Onewheel+ customer support at 1-800-283-7943 or send an email to [email protected]

LOOK AHEAD, AND BE READY TO AVOID OR YIELD TO: • Vehicles slowing or turning, entering your lane ahead of you or coming up behind you • Parked cars or opening car doors • Pedestrians • Children or pets • Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve into traffic, catch your wheel or fall
Observe all local traffic laws and regulations regarding riding on sidewalks and trails. It is your responsibility to know and obey the laws in your riding area. Share the road and respect the rights and safety of other motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not see you.
WARNING: Never ride your Onewheel+ on inclines or declines with grades steeper than 15%. This may cause the motor and battery to overheat and will also void your warranty. CAUTION: Jumping and stunt riding will void your warranty.
Always wear a multisport helmet that meets the latest certification standards, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care. Head injuries are some of the most serious and may be avoided with proper protection. Avoid sharp bumps, drainage grates and sudden surface changes. Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and other debris. Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility. Never ride near motor vehicles.
WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury or death.
ALWAYS WEAR: • Shoes that stay on your feet and will grip the board. Never ride barefoot or while wearing sandals or flip- flops. • Bright clothing that makes you clearly visible to drivers, riders and pedestrians. • Protective eyewear to protect against the sun, as well as airborne dirt, dust and, of course, bugs.
