Onewheel GT Review - Watch Before You Buy 

Onewheel GT Accessories Video - Top 5 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pEjrMMaAs-Q.html

This video is frustrating. On one side, we have a great product that seems fun, built with a lot of thought and engineering. I'd probably take it everywhere with all that range and power it has. On the other side, we have greedy businessmen that introduced "features" that brick your device if you unplug the battery. In a product that only has a 6 months warranty and that you have to ship back to USA if anything wrong happens. And all, under the "it's for your safety" excuse. I really was excited to get this one. Not anymore.

Ghosting Update - Future Motion got back to me and are sending me a new front footpad. I asked specifically if it was hardware or firmware and here's what they said "your reported problem is not a software issue, it is likely related to the footpad itself". So hopefully for anyone that got the first batch of boards, if they have any ghosting issues they should get a new footpad and problem solved. Will test out the new footpad and put a little follow up to see if it solved the issue ! Thanks everyone for watching - hope this video helps 🤙.

The fact that future motion made it so you can't even unplug the battery without bricking it tell me everything I need to know about them!

Dang! This guy has by far the best review period on RU-vid. Everyone wants to suger coat the issues between the XR and the GT. He just gives it to us straight so that we can make an educated buying decision. That's all any consumer can ask for. NO LIES, JUST ANSWERS. Thank you so much

Thank you for the suprise ride. Coming from +18,000 kms now with 2 cbxrs, I couldn't agree more. The magic of the board is that it makes you forget where it came from (until repair time, but that's another issue). Feels very familiar, has so much promise and is Indeed confidence inspiring... Can be dangerous if you step back onto any other stock FM boards. Rider skill is required much later/faster so that's a double edged sword in my opinion ;) Catch you on the trails so we can see how it truly shines 🤙

Great review! And good video! I'm also concerned about the ghosting issue. I've had it happen in the past on older boards and it's the most terrifying thing. Riding demands trust in the board and when that trust is shaky, then honestly the ride sucks. That being said... I can't wait to get mine! SO excited for it!

Man, the quality in this video is insane. I was first drawn to it by the Kickers because I haven't seen anyone else riding with them, but then I stayed for the rest of the video because it was so well put together and narrated. Definitely a well earned sub to the channel 🤙

their anti right to repair stance and all the glitches this thing has, the GT is a bust (for now) imo. FM has gone from admirable to disappointing to me this year. I get wanting this board and being excited about the device's potential. But there's no way am I rewarding FM with a purchase with all the issues on this board. I hope they change their anti consumer practices and fix the glitches and then maybe one day I'll feel like they've earned my purchase (because I'd love to have a GT). Until then I'll just keep riding my OW+ (and regret never upgrading to the XR lol)

The board may be pretty good, but I am not dropping that much money on something I can't maintain locally since the company that makes these has sketcky practices. I'll stick to my bike :)

Don’t try to replace the battery on your GT yourself. Doing so will turn your GT into a brick. Future Motion is the only one who can change out your battery. It’s called building up your future customer base. Additionally, what ghosting? Future Motion deletes any posts regarding ghosting at their forum. Buy used, you will save even more money.

looks nice and this is a good review! only issue is after 3 minutes of searching it seems if you buy this you are vendor locked and cannot do anything by yourself. apple practices ? HUGE NO!

Hey man love the vids , I can’t believe you don’t have more subs.

I would absolutely love it if we got to pick how aggressive the push back is, some time in the future!

I love watching your videos because I’ve lived in Calgary for so many years, so cool watching you riding around where I used to go on my boosted board years ago!

Amazing man. Thank you so much. Very much appreciate how thorough you were. 🙏

Great Video man! Getting mine here soon and hope the first batch gremlins aren’t a concern. Seeing this makes me excited for late night rips around Downtown Calgary👌

Phenomenal review. Best on RU-vid to date. Thank you!!!

Was strongly considering just getting a new GT but after all the comments about the battery and repair practices it’s a firm “No” for me. Great video….was 98% there! Gotta love capitalism!

The ghosting is definitely a huge issue. I actually got hurt because it went backwards after getting off, forcing me into doing the splits and partially tearing my lateral knee ligament. I contacted Future-motion, and they call it a “sticky pad”. I just got it back, but I’m still too insured to ride it. I have to admit, I’m not sure if they truly have a fix for it and if my board is now actually fixed. It will be serval month, before I can ride it again. I have had my pint for several years and was very happy with it. The GT sounded like the perfect upgrade, but if that problem is not fixed, that makes this board extremely dangerous to ride!

On my xr I needed both feet on and the front foot touching both sensors. Why am I able to just touch both sensors on the front and have the board go? Is that a form of ghosting?

I'm 74 years old and have never had a broken bone and have never been on a one wheel but I just might buy one of these things.

I want the GT but I have a XR. I'll probably buy one when they fix all the software issues and glitches. The range alone and less charge time is what sells it to me.

Austen should talk about the battery replacement issue with the GT as well. That is a MASSIVE issue with this new model.

Can you ride it through the rain or should you put sealant on first thing. And if you should put it on first thing where should it seal it?

Thoughts on the fact unplugging the battery now bricks the board?

Hey, Anyone know if they finally fixed the ghosting👻 issue??

Great to see some local shredding in Calgary. I sure hope they went to metric fasteners. You could also mention the lower mileage has something to do with the temperature out. I have to wait till it's 10C out before I can ride to work on my XR.

Much to think about. I’ll see how feel post firmware update with regards to ghosting. Seeing way too many ghosting issues online so far.

Great video, I lived in Calgary for 18 years, wish I had a Onewheel then haha. So much territory to ride in!

Got to share, I won 2 grand in Vegas came come and saw the gt video 6 hours after released and said I have to get it! Broke even but thank onewheel I'm so excited since October

Great review. i need to get those accessories. Thanks for the information

Well said, I was worried about trading up my XR. I still can't wait for 3rd party parts!!

How did you remove the Mag handle? I want to remove mine

Hey man, love the review on the one wheel. Anyways I'd like to ask, what is the brand of the cycling helmet that Anthony is wearing is I may ask?

I have a mag handle on the XR, lots of people dont care but I like having both handles as someone who rides every day I can say both handles have situations where they’re appreciatedz

An easy way to make GT more your own and make it more to each individual rider is to add a push back bar under the under construction custom mode so you can adjust everything there and just ride how and what you want, also put a warning that weak push back is not safe and is not recommended (insert disclaimer) along with all the other adjustments..

Great production quality 👍

Great video man!! Couple of questions. Where did you get the Air Tag sticky box and the plug for the charge port?

Hey Austen! How is the GT compared to the XR in terms of precenting nose dives offroad? My pint X seems to hold its own, but every now and then it'll dive when I hit a bump that pushes the board a little too far and can't correct the forward motion and it dives. I want a stronger board that is very confident offroad and won't throw me forward! I never go over 16mph on the grass and I only weigh 140lbs and I try to ride with my weight towards the rear but still every once in a while it gets me and I'm starting to get frustrated! Ugh

These make me wish I was young again. They look so fun 😊

Just bought me a pint x today 8/26 ..I can’t wait to,demo it @ very young 65 ..c u on the trails

How much uphill does it cover?

I want one now more than ever with this review!!!!

Does anyone have an update on the issues mentioned in the comments?

I had a question for long time : can I do 3D printing in my bedroom? Cuz I don't have enough space and don't have a good air conditioner

Whats about for a big guy 260 lbs in a steep city ? Do it will go up ?

What are those things on top of the board I didn’t see you touch on those too much in your video

I heard the slick tire is a rounded Pint style. I like the flatter profile of the Hoosier slick and apparently changing the tire is out of the question anymore 😕

Did you adjust the tire pressure? The egg shape tire is making hard to balance the board and wobbles awkwardly due to the tire shape

Great review! What psi are you rocking with for the treaded tire?

Why did your headlight stay on in the rear while riding?

Great review!

Great review!!!

I’ve absolutely loved my XR and wanted to upgrade. But I’d never buy any products future motion offers. No right to repair and no possibility to upgrade. I’m fine with a stock board. But I’d like to know it can be repaired without being bricked. Bullshit.

Yoooo! Thank you for the killer review! Would you be willing to make a more indepth video about waterproofing the GT? If not, maybe share links to some reliable sources? Thank you!

Please. Where can I get those guards for the rims. FloatSavers. I dunno. What to get that will fit

Hey idk the odds you’ll see this random comment, but what device is it you use to open the box in this video?

Does the rims protetor come with two pieces? I loved your yellow ones and I really want to buy for my friends birthday.

I have never ridden one and don’t quite understand what “pushback” is. Could someone kindly explain please? Thanks

Other than not needing to remove the rails to install, how are these rim protectors different than what the Float Life offers? I've been looking for a form of protection, and if these offer the same level of protection with less effort, it seems like a no brainer.

Awesome review. I'm not a owner yet. I read every comment before asking this question to avoid duplicates. You say the vast majority go with the treaded tire and that is what you would recommend. I'm very interested as to why. I had solidly chosen to go with the slick tire for the quiet ride as I saw a video where someone "upgraded" to a treaded tire on the older model. It was pretty noisy. I'd love to hear yours' and other's thoughts on treaded versus slick tires. Thank you again for a great review.

That’s one sweet looking board, mate! I may steal that look!

Best review so far. Thanks. Where are those life savers from?

Do you have to pay a monthly all the time? Or is it false? If you pay a monthly how long do you have to pay it

What "flight fins" are you using? The wedge pro?

Wow nice! I'm from Manitoba and would like to know where you bought your GT?

Dude your board looks so dope🙆

What is the weight limit of those things?

excellent review

great review! *****

When did yours arrive im still waiting

So one of these things are worth the close to $4000 price tag with all the bells and whistles?

Still waiting for my GT, but I PREFER a much stronger pushback in theory. The XR was way too subtle. I specifically ordered a GT for more torque for more safety and confidence. If they updated the pushback at all, I would only want them to do it as a customizable limited threshold on the app, so that way the default is to have it all the way up and those wanting to be more daring can tweak it a little down within reason. But honestly, I personally can’t take “more noticeable pushback” as a good complaint in my book, especially since it’s already happening LATER than the XR, which is great to know it has the power to do so. It’s a safety precaution based on available power, not an arbitrary “no fun allowed” rule. It’s possible it’s set to be a little reserved, but it’s there for good reasons. And the thing is, they didn’t remove the ability to push through pushback, it’s just harder to do than the XR apparently, so people can still do that if they choose. And the Onewheel I don’t personally feel is designed to even be a speed machine in the first place. I dunno, that’s my 2 cents.

I'd love to see a comparison of the GT and XR on the same hills.

The fact that it doesnt come with the port cover is a huge red flag. Thanks for the honest review.

Stellar review 🔥 the one thing that I would love to hear more on is steep hills....how does the GT handle going DOWN steep hills compared to the XR...is tail drag an issue with the GT on hills that it is not with the XR? Thanks again for the exceptional review🤙

Where did you get the rim protector?

Great vid bud 👍

I just found out about these less than like 3 hours ago and I want one lmao. I'm worried about stuff people are saying though, like spontaneous combustion or ghosting.

Has the ghosting issue been resolved?

Due to the anti consumer practices of this company and how they brick your board due to a battery swap, NO ONE should be supporting them. Forcing them to change their practices will only benefit the end user. Their claims of "safety" are BS.

Just watched your vid. I have an xr, live in Calgary and my 3 month old son is named Austin. I like my xr it's plenty fast ya could use more range. Mines all white and I ride with a halo icon airframe helmet

What is pushback?

A year later, how’s the push back ?

Interesting thing, hopefully in future with a bigger battery. Then I maybe would give it a try :)

Also why don’t they put a tire pressure monitor system on the board. Would be a sweet, easy feature to make.

Awesome full review. I’m a high stakes kinda person and have the need to push everything as far as it can go. Even though that’s not your style, i really appreciate you being one of the few quality RU-vidrs to include my perspective.

Aren’t the rear lights red when you ride forward? 9:42 looks white

Coming from someone who has been thinking about buying one, how hard was it to learn to ride it?

Yo! Could you make a video where you go more into detail where you put your air tag. And I got a pint x.

What is your opinion on the anti right to repair that future motion is showing

looking at buying one hope they fix the ghosting issue ;)

Hi at what speed did you encounter pushback? Also is the pushback as bad as people make it out to be?

Are those the 3dway pro wedges on the thumbnail?

I also have a Pint, Macbook Pro and 3d Printer except mine is a FlashForge Creator Max lol

whats the wait of the GT ?????? please

GT absolutely needs a mode that allows adjustable pushback or minimal like the xr. Its an oxymoron to have the flagship model have a lower top speed than the xr and a potentially uncomfortable ride at the top end. Also, it's a bit of an insult to people who prefer to rely on their own ability to keep the board in its limits while pushing it. And the thing is called the GT so yeah, needs to have highest top speed period. Just in one mode fine, call it racing mode and put a clickable warning when entering the mode for liability and safety. FM is balancing a fine line of fear of lawsuits and happy customers and loyal riders who built up and represented the company in the first place. Hope they make some moves to show some respect and improve the experience.

my onewheel XR got stolen

Where can I find rim protectors
