The Onewheel GT is a high-performance electric board that excels in speed and hill-climbing capabilities. Riders have praised its concave front and rear footpads, improved grip, and stability when cruising at 17-19 mph. However, pushback is noticeable when trying to exceed 20 mph, making higher speeds challenging. It offers a satisfying experience, resembling a flow state.
On the first day of testing, riders noticed the impressive torque and hill-crushing ability. The board can handle elevation gains with ease. The treaded tire, though requiring some adaptation, provides a better grip but can be slippery when new, especially on rough terrain.
The Onewheel GT leans toward a more carving-oriented experience, and its larger rim size makes edge control limited. Checking the tire’s PSI upon arrival is recommended.
Carving on the GT feels akin to snowboarding, particularly regarding initiating turns. While riding modes like “Highline” and “Flow” have been tested, “Highline” offers a more stable and comfortable experience at higher speeds.
The board’s grip tape, front footpad concave, and overall experience have received positive feedback. However, there are concerns about the durability of plastic footpads and bumpers with extensive trail use.
Despite its differences, the Onewheel GT has the potential to become a beloved option once riders get used to it. Testing and firsthand experiences will provide further insights into this new Onewheel model. Check out the Onewheel GT at events like ShredFest 2 hosted by SEEK N SHRED to see how it performs.
