The Onewheel replaces the typical skateboard with an electric-powered on-wheeling vehicle, allowing users to ride a board that drives itself. A single wheel that glides, feels natural and leaves you feeling like you're skating, surfing, snowboarding or taking a Segway to new heights. This is about experiencing the thrill of on-wheeling by riding a self-balancing electric board-sport.

Onewheel’s Shipping Policy

Onewheel offers shipping for their products through FedEx. The brand recommends contacting airlines and airports directly before traveling with their products due to restrictions on battery-powered devices.

Customers can also contact the carrier to locate their package or pick it up before the next delivery attempt.
