I am so grateful for any support you choose to give, financial or emotional! 🙏 The Onewheel is easy to ride and its on a mission to ruin your collar bone.
You should learn how to replace the battery of this thing next.
oh ho ho
is the battery that bad?
Someone knows about right to repair here haha. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the video too
@@clovenhoofer if you unplug it, it kills itself. Forever
@@TheJuankGames how is that even legal????
I like that the public opinion is extremely against FM lol, hopefully they see that they're destroying themselves and do the right thing.
To anyone who's thinking of buying one, buy an used XR! They're built like tanks, you don't give money to FM, and you can replace the battery. You won't regret it at all.
Thinking about maybe getting one, thanks for the tip
What is an XR?
@@alvinsinanbegovic6873 One of the older models, I think it stood for xtra range
@@mysiph ah thanks
@@alvinsinanbegovic6873 the "older" model, they stopped selling it at the end of last year to sell the GT. It's still extremely capable and a lot more repairable!
"How do you get off"
Well that depends on the mood, really
😂
Bruh😂😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣😂🤣
Sounds about right 😂
@@CrackedCodeBlack fwunvxie
The XR gives a more user friendly experience with its “square” wheel. Keeping you level easier
the company that makes these is very anti right to repair, if you unplug the battery bms and plug it back in it will be bricked. also the battery discharge connector is very thin and a fire hazard.
I seen rossmans vid, could try trick it and keep a voltage going through as you replace it, or better yet rip it out and rewire a drone FCU into it and use the components... or like... they could just not be a shit company.
@@kobrapromotions those last 8 words were all that was needed
Kinda understandable though they can get a lot of shit if something goes wrong so they're just trying to minimize as many points of failure as they can.. Still sucks tho :/
@@kobrapromotions go make your own company than 🤡🤡
@@kobrapromotions the fact your hating on them for not being 3rd party repair friendly but nobody say shit about apple and every other major brand is laughable
Unfortunately, Future Motion is a terrible
company with a management that has no morals or ethics. Their product would be alright if it weren't for the fact that it was designed to be completely unserviceable.
No big companies have ethics or morals. If that is a reason to not buy products, good luck in your empty dirthole. Cuz you would have nothing you do right now.
@Tvrdej Jakšutr someone's shilling for a shitty corporation
@@ggmgreenscreens3573 I believe the term is gaslighting.. lmao
Oof
Lol

I wonder where is exactly this place. This is the place where Tom Scott learned to ride bicycle
That's what I was thinking too
Ayee! I recognised it too!
i’m assuming a park near Mike’s house, since he’s also the one who taught Tom how to ride a bike in that video.
My thoughts
Yee that's what I was saying
just don't do anything that you would normally do with something you own. It will brick it, and then they will refuse to send you parts or offer repair.
He has the pint. GT is the one that bricks itself.
@@lucasgonzales4260 I don’t think it really matter when the Future Motion stands by it’s decision regardless of what the people thinks. We should be vocal about RTR always.
I have 4000km on this thing, fallen hard one time and nothing has happened to it. I throw it around all the time
@@nicolacornolti7796 OP meant trying to repair it or even just open it up
@@nicolas_ai reddit moment
"To steer, you almost just think about going left or right"
Everyone who has intrusive thoughts: 😰
Bet most people have no idea what intrusive thoughts are.
Despite maybe even having them on regular.
@@mucia55 y’all are on the wrong video.
@@nikooooo7661 ??? Wdym?
“What if i ran over that family of 5?” Wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT
*tries to go left*
*Instrusive thought makes you fly away*
this is a blast on the streets! i own an e-bike but my friend owns a one wheel and we switch stuff almost every time we hang out because we enjoy riding each others stuff. The gliding feeling you get on top of high speeds is fun and amazing. i also love the fact that you can have your hands free! it also looks really cool when you find your balance and can ride it properly
"Call it the clavicle destroyer"
Wren fromCorridor Crew - "oof"
Haha, that's a good one.
To get off smoothly, aside from just jumping, you come to a stop and then gently lift the heel of your front foot until the foot sensor disengages and the motor stops. Then you can let it drop back and just step off. Takes a little practice, but worth it.
I once say a video about that owe guy recklessly going down downhill without knowing how to stop, when he wants to stop he doesn't know it and panicked and elbow first then boom crashed
It will then ghost on you, and zoom off at top speed completely uncontrolled with no-one touching it. These newer models from the company are a joke.
@@NDaveo really? I just have an XR+, and I've never had issues like that, sounds annoying.
@@plasmasupremacy9321 the XR's are a great product. I'm more speaking about the GT, their newest release. Have a bit of a search on the topic, and you'll see a whole world of problems that are going on with OneWheel. It ranges from safety issues, to ghosting, to bricking themselves when the battery is disconnected, to just generally horrible anti-repair practices.
I have the new GT, no problems at all. It's awesome! (esp after the first firmware update) My friend was an early adopter of the XR, said the first firmware versions were a little glitchy also.
Me: "I wonder if it was sponsored by Onewheel"
Mike: "It should be called the clavicle destroyer"
Me: "I guess not then"
One of the guys who developed this lives in my neighborhood
Give me the exact address, imma show up to his door with a F baseball bat
Tell him to remove the stupid bricking feature
Pro Tip: _Don't look down!_
You want to look forward.
I own 3 of these.
Fuck Future Motion and their anti-consumer bullshit.
Then why did you buy three lol
@@anton201003 Future Motion wasn't huffing their farts back in 2018.
It is funny that the OneWheel started as a Makerfair project. Oh how they have changed
@@williamforbes6919 what has changed now?
@@rext4607 The company being the product of the Maker community, which by and large embraces tinkering with devices and DIY.
It is interesting to see how hardline their anti modification and repair stance is considered where they came from.
Seeing all the Future Motion bashing in the comments warms my heart. Keep at it, folks
You crushed it as far as a new rider goes. Love to see it.
I love how hateful everyone in this comment section towards the company
Must be good then.
@@andymcphie3008no, the company makes it impossible for u to repair the damn thing and an arm and a leg to be sent for repairs.
its not a product worth buying
Good luck ever getting that thing repaired when it inevitably breaks. OneWheel is a horrible company
In the UK ride+glide who are a onewheel dealer have always been helpful for me
@@BruceSkinner I'm not sure they're going to able to be helpful with Future Motion's new products...
@@BruceSkinner ride and glide, interesting. Haven't heard of any UK version, will take a look. I'd love one of these
If OneWheel is the company,
Future Motion is the product?
@@5oglock474 nope, you have that reversed
Yo this is the park where Tom Scott learned to ride a bike
My first thought
Came here to confirm my guess.
I noticed that too 🤣
He does most of his outdoor/learn to ride videos in that park!
I have a XR+ from 2020 and have never had any issues it is a tank I’ve only put 500 miles on it but it’s been through some really tough environments including lots of salt water and really hard slams it works perfectly fine I have zero regrets on my purchase!
The One-Wheel turns on when it feels pressure on both sides of the sensors on the front, to dismount it, I raise up my heel and it turns off. It only turns off if you do this while stopped, I hope this helps :D
Finally found the guy who actually reads instruction manuals
While they look cool and you clearly already bought it, please look into all the media going around about repairing and modifying them. It's not a company worth promoting without them making drastic changes that they seemingly never will.
who cares, it’s fun to ride
LTT fan?
@@tomhubbard8510 They don't have to be. Getting this shit repaired is a nightmare due to the fact you have to ship it to them in LA no matter where you are in the world and then they quote you after you already shipped it meaning you have to pay to get it quoted, then pay the outragous markups they have, then repay to have it shipped back. On top of that, there are numorous normal things that can get it taken off warranty that shouldn't. It just isn't good business practices.
It’s pretty hard to find that information without specifically googling “Onewheel right to repair”.
So I don’t blame him for not knowing
If you modify, you don't have the right to have it repaired...
The famous park where Tom Scott rode his first bicycle
Lmao I noticed this as well
I came here to write this Comment
Famous because he rode his bike there?
@@hsvr he learnt how to ride a bike there
@@TunaTsunami yeah but how does a park become famous because someone rode a bike there
Aside from the comments I see about FM, the one wheel is the best thing I have ever gotten. The easiest way to get off is lift your back heel.
You should do a video on learning to ride an electric unicycle!
I LOVE THIS COMMENTS SECTION, everyone is shitting on future motion and I’m here for it
Alrite edgelord
This video kinda got me tempted since I love to indo board and occasionally skate. Thank god I read the comments.
Don't be put off they are addictive good fun
i've been wanting one of this since wren from corridor recommended it, however it costs way too much and the comments talking about the state of the company rn doesnt help. i honestly hope to God there would be competition on the market to shake the price or make a breakthrough
Louis Rossman has created an enlightened movement of people who expect and demand more. It's awesome.
Wow the Segway just keeps getting more and more awesome
"it goes where I want it to go" as if he doesn't know what leaning is 🤣
FOOSH: fallen onto outstretched hand. It's so common it has its own initialism.
I was not taught this in EMT school, I want my money back.
Literally broke my scaphoid doing a FOOSH, on a Onewheel pint lmao
Was my radius, not my clavicle tho
ACRONYM
I got one of em, its really fun. The dismount is easy, come to a stop and smoothly lift your front foot while stopping. Your weight will push down the back and you dont need alot of speed either.
Can't wait to see the full video!
"Clavicle destroyer" genius!
It’s like the hoverboard….it took me 10 minutes to master the hoverboard.
@@omniscientomega4870 what?
it is to the hoverboard like oxygen is to methane gas: similar in a precious few ways, but also COMPLETELY different. no hoverboard can take on a gnarley root /rock strewn single track mnt bike trail, cruise a beach, shred tf out of a grass field, tear through a snowy road , crush a skate park, ooor break/bruise bones like the OW 😜✌🏼❤️🤙🏼
Ahh the one wheel. Genius the way you have to bring the nose closer and closer to any obstacles on the ground to make it go faster. Great for riding trails with roots... as long as you can fly.
I’ve had one of these for 2 or 3 yrs and a good tip for dismounting is after slowing down to a stop lift your heel of your foot off of the board and it powers of until you step on it again
Hey mom. I just bought a new toy.
What's it called?
'The Clavicle Destroyer'.
Get one for your father too.
Careful they like to brick themselves for fun
Bull crap.
No they don't.
czcams.com/video/KGzDCnjgUbc/video.html if you don’t believe me
And they also like to speed off without you, to kill someone
@@Ondrix Yes they do
I watched a guy travels down and uneven Rocky rooted Trail and it was amazing. He has really no issues I mean a person that was walking had to be more careful than he was.
They are really capable but, they also look easier than they are.
There needs to be a cover over the tyre on the passenger side.
Tyre can roll down un tied shoe laces or full pants and any kind of loose cloth.
😀😀
"How do you turn it on?"
"How do you get off?"
Love mine, but less than a year old and I already have issues with it reading me on it
my buddy's had a critical failure while he was riding, causing the wheel to lock up and he broke the hell out of his foot
Try flat shoes or different ones
The one-wheels with foot guards help more. I learned how to snowboard because of it
I have had a one wheel for about 2 years they are really fun they just take a while to get use to
,
i like the zep styled hoodie lmao
Yeah OneWheel is fun and easy to ride lol try an Electric Unicycle too.. they're cool as well but far more powerful and faster.
And safer especially trail riding.
Enjoy the ride man! Best decision I've made in years getting a onewheel.
Been wanting one of these. Thanks!
Seriously though, you are an MTB rider. Kingsong s22 or s18 EUC would be perfect for you, don't waste your time on onewheel, you'll brake your collarbone nose diving over a small bump while you could do big air ramps on a EUC. I'll do your mtb downhill trail time uphill on my ks16x dude, it's so good!
Definitely, EUC is 100% better in every way.
Yep EUC is honestly better in EVERY way possible, especially price to performance ratio (he’d probably like the master the most, not super beginner friendly though)
@@Impecable.. oh yeah, it's like starting out with a Ducati Panigale. You woudn't really be able to even appreciate it as a first bike. Like he really said OW pint is alarmingly fast.
Yeah, let's make him know eucs, it'll be a good disclosure for them if he makes a video about it.
@@pedrogabrielsalviano it's actually way more interesting then a onewheel, FM sent a onewheel to every other youtuber like 3 years ago but EUC are not that known outside of the euc channels with like 50k sub tops
You should learn Electric Unicycle, you would love it even more.
Like so he sees
100%, onewheels absolutely suck in comparison to my s18 (same price as XR btw, kinda hilarious I know) literally everything about them is worse, especially safety and price to performance ratio
@@Impecable.. riding stance tho
@@definingslawek4731 that's the BEST part. the Onewheel's biggest flaw in my mind is the way the front of the deck had to get closer to the ground to go faster. So you lower your obstacle clearance the faster you go... it feels good but lots of things that will leave you with a bleeding rash can feel good 😆. Doesn't make them a good idea! If you trail ride a Onewheel is the WORST! imagine getting a chance to drive a Lamborghini but you only get to drive it in a parking lot full of speed bumps.
Ur t-shirt says everything 🙏❤️😀
To stop The motion sensor which tells the board when on.Lift up your back heel
Try an EUC, this is even more “it goes with the power of thought” thing
Should try EUC
I'm so happy people spam about EUCs. Especially after FM right to repair drama
Yeah, let's make him know eucs!
My family has 4 one wheels two xrs one pint and a plus. We got em last year and have been to many meet ups and group rides. Once you get better you'll find it will be so easy
My buddy got a tbi from one of those… enjoy that info and happy riding :)
He should have worn a helmet
To get off a one wheel, you have to lift up you from heel for a couple seconds and then that shuts off the automatic balancing aspect of the one wheel. Then all you do is lean back, until the back of the one wheel touches the ground (all while keeping your front heel lifted), then you can step off staring with your front foot.
I hope this helps!
Learn to flip a butterfly knife
Yessss, that would be so much fun to watch!
ONE WHEEL IS LIFE
Got one a few years ago, super fun
Your should try an electric Unicycle!
The concept of moving with you’re brain isn’t that far fetched. Take a pendulum and think circle or back and forth. Will it to happen and it will. The reason is micro muscles in your finger will move it even though you’re not. It’s how “diviners” use pendulums and yea , some are naive and doesn’t know. The same for steering you’re thinking it and your making the subtle adjustments needed and at times subconsciously.
Onewheel literally changed my life, it’s the only reason I’ve gotten outside in the last couple years since I’ve been out of highschool
Also the pint has some MINOR sensor engagement issues but not really too obvious, and to dismount you can lift your front foot’s heel and it’ll disengage (also you probably already know all this but I just freaking LOVE my board and the whole community
Buying one of these right now.
GET AN ELECTRIC UNICYCLE PLEASE! MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT! THEY ARE AMAZING! They're different self-balancing EV's but they go much faster than a onewheel if you want them to, and are also very, very intuitive! I'm sure if you looked them up and got one for yourself you would absolutely love it.
Try using an unicycle
He did, 6 years ago. czcams.com/video/ncjFqrXj0_Y/video.html
Yep, they been doing this in Chicago for 10 years. Love it!!!
Love the zeppelin themed sweatshirt.
Hoverboards were so epic. This one just doesn't feel right
They’re so anti-consumer and anti-right to repair because you can make these yourself with a budget in the two digits and people would find that out if they were repairable
Two digit budget?? Do you know the price of a cart tyre?
FM is a shit show of a company but your hyperbole is far out there.
Do an EUC! (Love your videos)
Seen a kid riding one of these up and down the beach but he had a chair on it and was sitting in the chair. Coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Mike, I assure you no matter how dark of a time you're going through, life IS worth living. There's no need to go out and buy devices to end yourself.
“I am one of those guys that reads the manual cover to cover” then doesn’t know how to get off…
Now do an electric unicycle! More skill required
i love onewheeling
It's nice to see agadmator playing outside
The Pint has Roll-Back. No need to hop off.
Well done, the onewheel is awesome. Enjoy!
The way your meant to dismount is by a pressure plate in the front. It’s two sided. Placing weight on one side causes the board to turn off. Not power off but it stops riding. Anyways, just pick up one side of your front foot. Like standing on your toes but only with the front foot. Or the other way with your heels.
to dismount you just lift your front heel going at a slow speed and the motor will disable and allow your back foot side to touch the ground. or with the onewheel app you can turn on simple stop which means going in reverse will stop the board. :D
Now I want one of those
Mike is so inspiring he literally gave me the courage to solve the rubiks 4x4 with no help
One wheels are the new rollerblades
A man in my community has one and he fly's when he's on this thing. I was astonished when I first saw it.
I love how all the top comments are about how future motion are pos. Glad everybody knows.
I agree with the clavicle breaker tag broken mine on my Meepo NLS Pro
If you like this, you would like the hoverboard. There is also an attachment that you can put on to turn it into a go cart
I owned one of these for a while and if i could make a suggestion, when you want to dismount, instead of jumping off as that can cause it to fly out from under you if you misjudge your jump.. use your front foot, and point your toes to the front, then while your slowing down, or at a standstill, gently lift your front foots toes to make your foot come off the censor, and the back of the board should tilt and touch the ground, making dismounting 10x easier :)
Damn it man! Now I want one
The clavicle destroyer goes so hard
Like the late kick by josh pate playing in the back ground
Bravo. Wowderful. Great thoughts.
I've always wanted a one wheel
Enjoy! I've had mine 4 years now and it's changed my life. Definitely has it's quirks and dangers. It defies the laws of physics using software and hardware, it's beautiful and life threatening.
My brother has had one of these for about 9 months so far he has broken his arm that required surgery and a plate, and broken his knee including tearing his PCL (the rear version of your ACL) right off the bone
You made this look like it is so much harder than it is
I swear to god, i learn the one wheel in less than 30 seconds. I hope on it for the first time, failed, than trying again for a second time and i was already going full speed. One wheel is sooo fun😩
