Onewheel

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. Onewheel boards and accessories are shipped separately and require a signature upon delivery. If the package is not received, the carrier will attempt delivery three times before returning the package to Future Motion. Customers can also contact the carrier to locate their package or pick it up before the next delivery attempt.

Onewheel's Return Policy

Onewheel, a brand by Future Motion, accepts returns on all unused and unopened items within 30 days of delivery. However, they are unable to accept refunds on any opened or used Onewheel boards or accessories. A restocking fee will be applied, which will be deducted from the total refund amount. The restocking fee varies depending on the product, with accessories having a 15% fee, and Onewheel Pint, Pint X, and GT having fees of $30, $40, and $50, respectively. If you purchased a bundle set, the entire bundle must be returned to qualify for a refund. To initiate a refund, customers must visit the support site and submit a request to initiate an RMA. Customers must pay for the return shipment to Future Motion and are recommended to use a shipping method with tracking. Refunds will be processed back to the original payment method that was used to pay for the order within two business days from receiving the product(s). If an item is deemed used or ridden, no refund will be processed. Onewheel only accepts returns on products purchased directly through their website. If purchased from an authorized reseller/dealer, customers must check with the reseller/dealer for their return policy.
