Onewheel – the One-Wheeled Electric Skateboard for City and Trail
Onewheel is a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single wide wheel in the middle, controlled by shifting your weight: lean forward to accelerate, lean back to slow down. Riding it feels like surfing or snowboarding, only on tarmac, gravel and forest trails. No remote, no handlebars, the electronics help you keep your balance.
Our range includes compact boards for the city, versatile full-size boards and powerful off-road models with a bigger tyre. Bananaway is the official Onewheel distributor for Slovenia, and we ship across Europe.

Range depends on your weight, the terrain, your speed and the temperature. In the cold and uphill the battery lasts less, while slow riding on the flat gets you further. You'll find exact figures for each model on its product page.
Board Weight and Rider Weight Limit
Compact boards weigh around 12 kg (26 lb), while full-size and high-performance boards weigh around 13 to 16 kg or more. The compact board has a built-in handle, so it's easy to carry onto a bus or into the office. The recommended maximum rider weight is around 113 kg (250 lb) for compact models and around 125 kg (275 lb) for larger ones. Heavier riders should choose a more powerful model with more torque and a longer range.
How Does Onewheel Work?
The board has sensors that constantly detect its tilt and a hub motor that adjusts power to keep the board level. Step onto the front footpad sensor and the board engages. Lean forward and it accelerates, lean back and it slows down, and lift your heel off the sensor to stop and disengage. In the phone app you can track your speed, battery and rides, and choose a ride mode.
How to Learn to Ride a Onewheel
- Start on a flat, smooth and empty surface, with one foot on the front footpad.
- Level the board, step on with your other foot and keep your knees slightly bent.
- Accelerate and brake gently, with small shifts of your weight.
- Watch out for pushback: when the nose of the board rises, you're close to the speed or battery limit, so slow down.
Most riders learn the basics in an afternoon, but confident trail riding takes a few weeks of practice.
Onewheel Price
The price depends on the line: compact models are the most affordable, versatile full-size models sit in the middle, and the fastest and off-road models cost the most. Don't choose on price alone, think about the range and power you need for your rides. An underpowered board will run out of battery sooner on longer rides and hills.
Riding Safely
Always wear a helmet, and wrist guards and knee pads while you're learning. Don't ride on wet or slippery surfaces, as the board isn't waterproof and the tyre has less grip in the wet. Before riding in public spaces, check where riding is allowed.
How to Care for Your Onewheel
Charge the board with the supplied charger and don't leave it completely flat for long. In winter, store it somewhere dry and warm. After a muddy ride, wipe the board with a damp cloth rather than a strong jet of water. Check the tyre pressure regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions.
