Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths::Future Motion, along with the CPSC, is recalling 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing skateboards. Four crash deaths were reported, and the company resisted recall last year.

For early adopters, however, the CPSC and Future Motion are telling owners to stop using and discard the original Onewheel and Onewheel Plus.

The older ones are the repairable ones, so they're advising everyone to get rid of their perfectly repairable boards for $100 rebate. The new ones can only be repaired by future motion because of software lockouts.

“Throw away the ones you can fix, and give us back the ones we can fix.”

That’s some bullshit.

They found a way to make the recall good for them and bad for us
