Did you know that skateboards have been around since the 1940’s? We’ve seen lots of advancements in their setup over the years, from the materials the wheels, boards and decks are constructed with to the configuration of those parts, but, the skateboard has more often than not remained true to its classic four-wheel, one board design.

Now, a whopping 70 years later, a new type of board called the ‘Onewheel’ is taking the skateboarding community (and the mobility community!) by storm.

Onewheel is a self-balancing electric board that has a single wheel located at its core. Described as a product that bridges recreation and transportation, this vehicle is made for both the adrenaline junkie who wants the thrill of performing tricks at the ramps and also the outdoor enthusiast who want to travel back and fore places with ease.

Here’s why the guys from The Float Life, the original aftermarket accessory brand for Onewheels, say skateboarders are switching their alliance to this revolutionary product:

1. It’s uses innovative technology to provide an experience like never before

In recent years, the rapid advancement in battery technology has resulted in a surge of electric based consumer products, such as cars, motorcycles, scooters and the wildly popular hoverboards. The switch to these types of products has been swift, and the Onewheel has taken full advantage of this popular and revolutionary technology by incorporating it within its setup. However, Onewheel remains true to its routes by retaining the fundamental principles of skateboarding, resulting in a new, exciting way to skateboard.

2. It’s customizable, allowing you to give it your own look and feel with Onewheel accessories

Skateboarding is a culture that allows people to be creative. If everybody’s board looked the same, it would be boring and uninspiring. Skateboarders have character and want that to shine through. Luckily for Onewheel riders, you can customize yours with a huge range of Onewheel accessories. From float plates for protection, to rail guards, bearings, fenders, and footpads, make it as unique or as sleek as you like.

3. It’s super practical and insanely fun – you won’t want to stop riding

Travelling around town is a breeze with the Onewheel. Not only will you feel like Marty McFly floating around on his hoverboard in Back To The Future, but you’ll have a really practical way to travel, feeling the wind in your hair and taking in the sights, sounds and scents of the city. Getting up and down curbs is straightforward and performing tricks and nose dives just adds to the adventure. You truly won’t want to stop riding.

Are you considering purchasing a Onewheel?

If you’re not sure whether to purchase a Onewheel, there’s lots of videos and how-to articles available to watch and read online that give all the pros and cons of this exciting product. However, if you’re fully invested, you can purchase and customize your Onewheel at the point of buying new, or add new Onewheel accessories to one that you already own. Either way, new riders and experienced riders have fully embraced the technology that allowed this vehicle to be produced, and their community grows larger by the day.
