Onewheel Lawsuits for Serious Injuries from Onewheel Accidents
Future Motion’s Onewheeel electric skateboards and other similar products have become increasingly popular, with children and young adults using these high-tech devices daily.
While a popular alternative to other forms of casual and recreational transport, it’s become apparent that Onewheel skateboards could pose dangers to users.
According to recalls and reports, there’s a concern that Onewheel electric skateboards can stop without warning, causing riders to fall and sustain significant injuries.
Onewheel electric skateboards, in specific models, can hit speeds up to 32 miles per-hour, and a malfunction at these speeds can have devastating consequences, potentially leading to severe harm or death.
Onewheel accidents have resulted in at least four deaths, prompting legal action.
All models of Onewheel electric skateboards manufactured by Future Motion have been recalled by the company.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns consumers about the potential for serious injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other dangers from Onewheel self balancing electric skateboards.
Onewheel Injury Lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturer of the electric skateboard.

Subsequent to the Onewheel recall announced in September 2023, further lawsuits for individuals injured by Onewheel electric skateboards are being investigated.
The Onewheel device, produced by Future Motion, has been at the center of numerous injury-related concerns and lawsuits.
The most prevalent issue reported is the device’s tendency to suddenly stop during use, deactivating its balancing technology and causing the rider to be thrown forward in a nosedive.
This malfunction has led to a variety of injuries, ranging from minor abrasions to severe head and brain trauma, broken bones, and even punctured lungs.
Notably, Future Motion has faced a minimum of four wrongful death lawsuits due to these nosedive incidents.
In May 2020, one such lawsuit was filed by the family of a Houston man who tragically lost his life following a sudden Onewheel shutdown and subsequent fall.
Additionally, two significant product liability claims have been lodged against the company.
These cases highlight major incidents: one in San Diego in August 2020 where a man suffered severe head injuries, and another in September 2020 in New York, where the victim sustained head and brain injuries, facial fractures, broken ribs, a broken arm, and a punctured lung.
Compounding these individual cases, Future Motion has been accused of misleading advertising practices.
Allegations suggest the company has downplayed the Onewheel’s defects and overly promoted its ease of use and safety, leading to a class action in California challenging the advertising methods for the Onewheel XR.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury, traumatic brain injury, or died as a result of a Onewheel accident, you may be eligible to file a Onewheel Accident Lawsuit.

In September 2023, Future Motion recalled all models of Onewheel electric skateboards due to injuries and deaths reported in accidents between 2019 and 2021.
Initially, Future Motion refused to recall its products, but relented under pressure from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
In the Future Motion press release on the 2023 recall, the company announced the inclusion of a “haptic buzz” feature to warn riders of situations that could result in a crash.
The haptic buzz firmware update is available for the Onewheel Pint X and Onewheel GT electric skateboards, as well as the original Onewheel and Onewheel+.
Previous recalls have been announced for certain Onewheel skateboard models.
In August 2022, Future Motion recalled approximately 20,500 footpads for the Onewheel GT Electric Skateboards.
This decision came after the company received 813 reports of skateboards continuing to operate after the rider had dismounted.
Such malfunctions resulted in various injuries to riders, including bruises, friction burns, and twisted ankles.
The recalled skateboards were sold between March 2022 and August 2022.
