Operation
The Onewheel is ridden by mounting the board with rear foot first and then placing the front foot on the pad pressing both sensors. When the rider comes to level, the motor will engage and begin self-balancing. The Onewheel will accelerate forward when the rider leans forward and decelerate when the rider leans back. Turning is accomplished similarly to a skateboard or snowboard. Leaning the body toward toe or heel side of the board will cause the board to track side to side.

Dismounting the Onewheel is accomplished by slowing to a stop and lifting the heel of the front foot off the sensor pad. This disengages the motor and the rear of the board can be lowered to the ground allowing the rider to step off the board. The Onewheel Pint model has an additional dismounting mode called Simplestop. With Simplestop engaged, the rider only needs to slow to a stop and then slowly roll back and the board will disengage, allowing the rider to dismount. When the board tilts backwards against the volition of the rider, it is known as push-back. The board's system does that in order to limit the speed. When the front of the board hits the ground, it is known as nose-dive.

All Onewheels are usable independently of a smartphone, however, riders can use Bluetooth to connect to the Onewheel App with which the user can make changes to different functions of the Onewheel.

The Onewheel App has been through many iterations and was first released alongside the Onewheel Original in 2014 for Android and iOS. The app allows the user to be able to monitor their Onewheel, and change the way it rides.
