Future Motion is recalling approximately 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards, including all models manufactured between January 2014 and September 2023. The skateboards can stop balancing the rider if the board's operating limits are exceeded, which has led to dozens of reports of crashes. There have been four reported deaths due to head trauma and numerous serious injuries, including paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, and fractures. Owners of the GT, Pint X, Pint, and + XR models should update their firmware through the Onewheel app to install a Haptic Buzz warning system, while all owners should stop using the boards immediately.
The skateboards can abruptly stop balancing the rider when operating limits are exceeded, throwing the rider from the board. This defect has caused four deaths from head trauma and several life-altering injuries, including paralysis and permanent brain damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Onewheel electric skateboards. Consumers with the Onewheel GT, Onewheel Pint X, Onewheel Pint, or Onewheel+ XR electric skateboards should download or update the Onewheel app, and use the app to update the firmware on their board to include Haptic Buzz alert functionality. Haptic Buzz is a tactile and audible warning system that provides the rider with a buzzing sensation and sound when nearing the limits of the board or when in low battery or error states. The firmware update for the Onewheel GT will be available within one week, with the firmware update for the Pint X, Pint, and XR launching within six weeks.
