Dear CPSC,

LET US RIDE.

From,
The Onewheel Community

We've been overwhelmed by support from Onewheel riders and supporters across the world. Onewheel has brought profound positivity to the lives of so many folks of all walks of life. We read every story - from folks finding community, an outlet for people battling anxiety, addiction and depression, parents finding common joy with their kids, or people thankful for a way to get outside and explore their world. With over 5,000 passionate letters written to the CPSC, we can't thank you all for your support.

  • Future Motion - remember the community that stood with you as we get through these tough times… when this all gets to other side of the issue, be more responsive to the folks that carry you across— good to know that you read our letters in support & hope you also listen to the ones that ask you to be responsive to needs of the community when it is about change/ improvement; customer obsession is more than stoke
  • I wish you guys were as passionate about letting us buy parts for and repair our boards.
  • @tristshapez
    Would FM be able to publicly announce the reasoning behind the proposed OW recall? The CPSC have stated they cannot divulge this information for legal reasons. If they're simply trying to outright ban Onewheels for safety reasons, I 100% stand by FM. If however there's a genuine hardware defect they're concerned over which could be rectified, I feel the public have a right to know. Take care ya'll and keep on floating!
  • As a Truck Driver the Onewheel has had a big impact on me, being able to explore cities and rest areas like never before. As well as keep me active and relieving stress after an 11hr drive.
  • ❤ This is just the beginning! Keep those stories coming!
  • @linoj
    I'd like to see FM's response to the reddit post "My email conversation with a CPSC human...". Thank you.

    I've had nosedives come on suddenly, pushback only happens if you are pushing into it slowly. If you go past the limit quickly, it'll dive quickly. It can happen. I've ended up flying into my shoulder several times. I still ride and will always ride. Be safe out there people.
  • The Onewheel is one of the best products ever made and I am ALWAYS in a better mood when I am done with a ride than when I step on to start...LET US RIDE
  • @kayakkevin
    Onewheel has brought me close to my sister and we have explored all over in places we never otherwise would have. Its a truly awesome way to get around.
  • @joooe5957
    Literally fixed a puncture in my pint a couple hours ago, never knew how much I missed it <3
  • Kyle & Team... XR & GT is my life and will continue to represent 4 ever !!! Huge Love from Maple up in Canada!
  • If you take this opportunity to open up even more than being able to change tires. But open up for regional repair or even go further and license patents or open patents to others. Open this to a multi vendor thing or open up to third party in any way. They will never be able to shut this down. And you will benefit loads mor than you have so far. Please go the extra mile needed to make this more than it is today.
  • Why is our job to defend you from the government. Especially when you don't want to listen to us when we mention things FM doesn't want to hear, like why more repair centers or availability of parts or features we lost on older versions of the app. No need to defend a company that only cares about the community when we can help them but are just consumers to be ignored when you don't want to or care to listen.
  • Love seeing all the different humans behind Onewheel. Real people, with real feelings and families. Thanks to all of you. I think about me feeling like I might lose a device to ride in all of this and for all of you amazing humans at Onewheel it way more than a device, it's your jobs, your livelihoods and dreams are under attack and that's what really gets me in all of this. So from my family and friends to yours Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for what all of you do. Keep the stoke alive and #LetUsRide

    As a veteran I can relate to the other veteran letter.
  • @jornjanssen90
    I own a onewheel for 3 years now. Only have fallen off once when i just started, when i ignored pushback. After that i respect the board's limits and have never fallen off since. I love my onewheel. Hope i can enjoy my XR for many years to come.

    I ride on Myrtle Beach during low tide days and over 1000 miles so far. Although I cracked my collar bone for over exceeding the limits, walking, biking, skateboarding, and snowboarding isn't as awesome as floating on my Onewheel. Onewheel saves me during early retirement boredom.
  • Practical to step on and go and take into the cabine on the farm. I'm sure Onewheel will overcome this. Long Live Onewheel !
