Over the past few years, I’ve switched between riding my Onewheel and electric skateboards. This led me to wonder how they stack up against each other. In this post, I’ll delve into my experiences with both. Rather than declaring one as superior, I’ll outline the disparities I’ve observed. This way, you can better understand which option might suit your riding preferences. Let’s begin with…
What is the difference between Onewheel and electric longboard?
There are many differences between Onewheel and electric longboards. First, the Onewheel only has one wheel, while the electric longboard has four wheels. This makes electric longboards more flexible in some aspects, such as being able to easily switch from pavement to grass, uneven surfaces. In addition, the Onewheel does not require a remote control and you can control it with your body weight, while the electric longboard can be controlled by a remote control and can be ridden easily.

However, most electric longboards are much faster than the Onewheel. Additionally, the electric longboard is also better than the Onewheel in terms of stability and handling, especially when carving on the deep footside/heelside. Finally, for those familiar with traditional skateboards or longboards, electric longboards may feel more natural and intuitive.
But why are electric longboards more popular than Onewheel?
1. Stability
Electric longboards have four wheels and a larger contact area with the ground, so they perform better in terms of stability and deep gliding. The Onewheel only has one tire, which makes it feel more wobbly when sliding deeply.
2. Speed
The top speed of most electric longboards is higher than that of Onewheel. For users who pursue speed, electric longboards may be more suitable.
What is the difference between an electric longboard and a Onewheel in terms of speed?
2.1. The speed of electric longboards is generally higher than that of Onewheel, because the top speed of most electric longboards is higher than that of Onewheel.
2.2. The top speed of Onewheel may not be fast enough for some users who pursue speed, but its speed is fast enough for a device with only one wheel.
Therefore, if the user is more concerned with speed, then an electric longboard may be a better choice.
3. Convenience of operation
Electric longboards usually require the use of a remote control to operate, while the Onewheel is controlled on the sensor through body weight, which may feel more convenient for some users.
4. Cleaning and maintenance
Since the Onewheel only has one tire, cleaning and maintenance may be relatively easy.
However, which mode of transportation you choose ultimately comes down to personal preference and needs.
What is the difference between Onewheel and electric longboards in terms of stability and turning depth?
1. Stability
Since the electric longboard has four wheels in contact with the ground, it has better stability than the Onewheel with only one tire in contact with the ground. Especially when making deeper turns, the stability of an electric longboard is more advantageous.
2. Turning depth
Onewheel will shake more than an electric longboard when making deep turns. This is because the tires of the Onewheel are rounder than the wheels of the electric longboard, so the Onewheel is not as stable as the electric longboard when turning.
If the user is more concerned about stability and the depth of turns, then an electric longboard may be a better choice. But if users pay more attention to other aspects of experience, such as speed, control, etc., then Onewheel may be a better choice. The final choice depends on the user’s personal preferences and needs.
