Introducing the Onewheel XR
The Onewheel XR is the first all-season carving machine that can take you everywhere. Riding it is the same as snowboarding or skating. You manoeuvre with only your balance. Simply put, the most beautiful ride on the planet. Lean forward to go, back to slow down, it’s that easy. Bright LED headlights and taillights automatically reverse when you switch direction. Safe LiFePo4 batteries last for years of everyday use with little to no decrease in range.
Where can I ride it?
Normal roads, forest paths, beaches. Basically everywhere! The Onewheel XR is an offroad beast due to it’s big air tire. Depending on where you live, it might be legal or illegal to use it in traffic or on public roads. Off-road nobody can stop you from having a blast on your Onewheel XR.
When will I receive it?
The Onewheel XR usually arrives within 1-2 business days. Fatdaddy ships the Onewheel XR to any mainland location in Europe via UPS. When you order, you will receive a trackingcode to see when you can expect delivery. If needed, you can alter the delivery address to a UPS pick-up point. Due to the battery, we cannot ship these via air to far away locations.
What’s in the box?
The package comes with an EU charger and instruction booklet. We always suggest adding a Fender to your order to keep your legs clean or dirt. We also recommend wearing a helmet at all times.
How does it work?
The Onewheel does not use a remote, you operate it purely by balancing your weight. The more you lean forward, the faster it will go into that direction. Want to brake? Simply balance the Onewheel in a straight horizontal position and it will stop moving. There is a sensor in the front footpad which registers if you are standing on it. If you lift your heel up, the sensor will detect that it needs to stop immediatley. This will also prevent your Onewheel rolling off into traffic without anybody standing on it.
Onewheel has made a great 60-second instruction video on how to manouvre.

Best money I ever spent. Sold my car and my wife, and now I ride this to work every day. Having skateboarded in the past, I was able to be comfortable on it about 2 minutes. It’s surprisingly natural and easy to control. Lean forward to go forward, lean back to brake. Brilliant invention, honestly.

So nice when you float past all overheated people on your Onewheel.

Jeg havde gået og tænkt på at købe en i et år men syntes det var mange penge. Men efter 6 måneder og knap 900 km kørt. Kan jeg roligt sige, det var det bedste jeg har gjordt for mig selv længe. Har set nye sider af min by, jeg nok aldrig ville have set uden den. Og har aldrig været så tæt på naturen som nu og set den med helt nye øjne. Så hvis du er i tivl er du ikke i tivl, køb den;)

Orderes my onewheel XR, got it 4 days later (weekend was in between). 1 day earlier than expected so super happy. 1 small issue, the plug in the box is a US model instead of European. Contacted them, 10min later response, european model is on the way. So Amazing customer service.

Very good. Easy to learn the basics . Bit heavy for me for carrying though. Most certainly easier with the aftermarket handle. Wished they made that standard .

Much range, good service. Best onewheel on the market!

Great for driving around the neighborhood and exploring new places. Also very nice for travelling from home to work (and back 😉 ). I really want to ride on the board every moment I can!

I think this is the most fun way to ride an electric vehicle 🙂 I only tried it a couple of times but guys like shonduras made me want one since the beginning!!

First and foremost, I don’t ever write reviews on things but since I love the one wheel here goes IT ROCKS. I’ve put over 600km on my board and treated it very harshly and it is very robust and well built!
Things to know about it before you buy:
It’s a big initial investment but after 30 minutes riding, you’ll wish you’d had it for years before and didn’t wait so long to buy one!
Pros include (but are not limited to): FAST, FUN, CAN RIDE IT ANYWHERE, FEELS LIKE SURFING ON LAND, YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS WITH IT, YOU CAN’T TAKE THE SMILE FROM YOUR FACE AFTER RIDING IT!!
Cons include:
• You spend 2000 euro and they don’t give you a tiny silicone charger plug!? You need it to protect your board because that is a vulnerable point.
• The board is rated water resistant but don’t push it. I’ve been for wet rides and found water under the footpads that COULD lead to damage if not dried out.
• Finally, the last con is the plastic bumpers can grind down so much the aluminium rails start to wear on the underneath end corners so watch out for this.
That’s all the bad parts which are pretty much nothing compared to how great it is. This will make your life more adventurous and exciting every day. I live in Ireland and I ride my board on and off-road, in the grass, off drops, on the beach, on dunes, in mud, on mountain bike trails and off kerbs.
Buy a fender for rainy days it will prolong the life of your footpads (I own a carbon one it’s beautiful), buy side plates to protect the rails when learning as they scratch up easily.
That’s ALL,
FINALLY, convince your best mate to buy one as I did and then you have a riding buddy also!

In my early 40s without any skateboard backround i enjoy riding my XR with my 9year son.
An amazing experience cruising inside the forest exploring new paths and places.
ONEWHEEL is a really Life Changer!!!

Best fun in the world. Until 45 minutes in I took on my carpark concrete ramp that was too steep and nosedived.
