Future Motion guides
- Onewheel dead controller: factory repair or a VESC-based conversionHow-to guideWhen a Onewheel controller dies: Future Motion's factory repair first, then an overview of a VESC-based controller conversion, what it replaces, and why it's a job for established builders.
- Onewheel GT, Pint and XR: board won't engage, one side of the lightbar stays whiteTroubleshootingYou press both halves of the front footpad but one side of the lightbar stays white and the motor won't engage. Onewheel lists stance, shoes, dirt, cold, new or damaged pads and a loose footpad connection as the causes.
- Onewheel GT, Pint and XR: error 6 or 11 and a stuttering motorTroubleshootingError 6, error 11 on the GT, or a stutter or strange noise from the motor can mean the motor cable is not communicating properly. Onewheel's fix is a power cycle, then reseating the motor cable, then factory service.
- Onewheel Pint and Pint X: error 15 at power on (footpad engagement error)TroubleshootingThe lightbar or power button blinks 15 times and the board won't ride. Onewheel ties error 15 to the front footpad: a hand on the pad at power on, dirt, a damaged sensor, or sometimes a board fault.

- Onewheel: firmware update won't show up or keeps failingTroubleshootingThe app never offers the update, or it starts and fails. Onewheel's fixes: update the app, keep the phone close, start near 50 percent battery, and forget and reconnect the board.
- Onewheel: lightbar or power button blinks and the board won't ride (codes 3, 4 and 16)TroubleshootingA blinking lightbar or power button is an error code. Count the blinks: Onewheel lists 3 as battery over 100 percent, 4 as a bad start up position and 16 as usually harmless, and gives a fix for each.
- Onewheel: won't power on or charge, charger light stays greenTroubleshootingThe board is dead and the charger light stays green when you plug it in. Onewheel's steps: test the outlet and charger, try its plug in sequence, rule out cold and water, then send the board in.
