Onewheel GT DOA and Ghosting: Should We Be Concerned?

We’ve moved! Check out our FULL article here. Summary below.

The new Onewheel GT has been plagued by significant issues. Many reports have emerged of Onewheel GTs arriving dead on arrival (DOA), indicating a troubling trend.

Dead Onewheels are problematic, but an even more alarming concern is “Onewheel Ghosting.” This phenomenon occurs when a Onewheel continues to balance and move forward even after the rider dismounts, akin to being possessed by a ghost. Several instances of ghosting have been reported with the new Onewheel GT, and one such incident was captured on camera, showing the board traveling a considerable distance autonomously.

Onewheel Group Facebook page has also witnessed additional reports of ghosting incidents, raising questions about the extent of this issue. Some have humorously suggested that “GT” stands for “GhosT.”

Ghosting presents unique dangers, possibly more hazardous than a nosedive. While riders assume the risk of injury when using a Onewheel, a ghosting board poses a threat to innocent bystanders if it continues moving into crowds, traffic, or off structures onto freeways. Real-life instances of ghosting nearly colliding with pedestrians and slamming into buildings have occurred.

The potential for harm and injury to unsuspecting individuals necessitates attention. Given these concerns, the question arises whether Onewheel should consider a product recall due to the potential for damage, injury, and even fatalities resulting from ghosting incidents.
