WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Whenever you ride Onewheel+, you risk death or serious injury
from loss of control, collisions and falls. To ride safely, you must
read and follow all instructions and warnings in the User Manual.
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+.
Because it’s impossible to anticipate every situation or
condition that can occur while riding your Onewheel+,
this manual makes no claim to represent the safe
use of Onewheel+ under all conditions. 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.

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.

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 [email protected] 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 [e-mail]
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.

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+
