Massive Recall: Onewheel Electric Skateboards Pulled from Market After Fatalities

Electric skateboard-maker Future Motion has agreed to recall all of its OneWheels, a self-balancing electric mobility device, after initially refusing to do so. The recall comes after reports of the OneWheel cutting out when its speed limit is reached, posing a crash hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported four deaths of OneWheel riders in recent years. Future Motion is urging owners to download a firmware update that includes a warning system to alert riders when nearing the board's limits. This recall adds to the growing number of recalls in the micromobility space.
