Future Motion’s Onewheel® products are electric skateboards with a single wheel in the middle of the board. Onewheel skateboards, however, may stop unexpectedly while in motion, throwing the rider from the board and putting them at risk of serious, even fatal, injuries.
If you or a loved one was injured by a Onewheel skateboard, call (800) 995-1212 now to see if you may be eligible for compensation.
Electric Onewheel Skateboards Put Riders at Serious Risk
Future Motion’s Onewheel products have a single wheel in the middle of the skateboard, with areas for the rider’s feet in front of and behind the wheel. However, Onewheel skateboards may not function properly and can put riders at serious risk of harm.
While these one-wheel electric skateboards are designed to balance themselves, they may stop suddenly in motion and throw the user from the device by nosediving or pushback (falling forward or backward off the device).
On September 29, 2023, all models of the Onewheel electric skateboard were recalled due to at least four reported deaths between 2019 and 2021. The recall extends to over 300,000 self-balancing electric skateboards.
“CPSC urges consumers not to buy the Onewheel [or] use it due to the ejection hazard....CPSC urges consumers NOT to resell or donate the Onewheel, so others are not put in danger by the hazard.”
– The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
In November, almost a year earlier, CPSC warned consumers to stop using or avoid buying Onewheel skateboards. Sadly, not buying or using a Onewheel isn’t enough for consumers who have already been seriously, if not fatally, hurt by these products.
As a result, many families nationwide have turned to filing Future Motion Onewheel lawsuits to both hold the company accountable for its dangerous products and seek compensation for their injuries.
