Is your Onewheel GT sensor not working? Do you have problems getting your onewheel to start/won't start at all? In this video, Jeff will show you how to fix your onewheel sensor with 5 ways to fix sensor activation! The Onewheel GT was notorious for "ghosting" on release, causing the board to go flying backwards after the rider dismounted. Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel GT, responded by making the sensor harder to activate consistently. Many users reported their Onewheel GT won't start at all after their change. This video will give you the best ways to fix your activation/sensor issues to alleviate or completely fix the issues you might have with it! Tell us in the comments which on of the 5 ways helped you fix your GT Sensor!

These types of videos are fantastic. It shows the different options available, even stuff that doesn't get sold by you, but it's building the brand reputation along with showing the community the ways to do things without royally screwing themselves (and not being able to buy aftermarket stuff). I love all your content. The trick tutorials, the follow me series, the scenic ride sessions, the lunch runs, rep your set, how to assemble, pod/vlogcast, and even the long form videos that are practically documentaries. Each brings a different element that either teaches about the sport in some fashion or just shows what is possible, with enough tries to get it. Also, the collabs with other creators are great, whether with Flux Mvmnt, Braile Riding, or Scot Mendenhall and Friends. The beanie baby mic holder might have been my favorite in the mix. Also, I love the baseball-inspired shirts. I didn't know you had those until this video. I scurried right over and picked up the Oakland inspired one, as I grew up a fan. Now that I live in Arizona, the shape of the A has changed, it leans more and is definitely more bitey, but I still catch the A's games when I can.

@@TheFloatLife I can 100% vouch for this too. I built an entire GT with all addons and a SureStart. I rode the board brand new ( never rode farther than 100 feet) I rode the board in the timed qualifier and semi-finals at Shredfest, having never ridden the course for practice, and never had a GT before... and it gave me confidence and the pad sensor engagement was flawless!! (Jeff, I showed you my orange dipped rail badge on my WTFs)

Great list! “Flat Kick” footpads were the solution for me, and killed two birds with one stone - I didn’t like how inflexible my foot positioning felt on the concave pads (let alone ghosting/activation issues, both of which I had pre- and post-recall, respectively). So, while after all that I was a bit bitter giving FM more money for yet another set of pads, I was ultimately glad I did!

The easiest way really is to activate single zone in the zone engagement settings. Open OW app -> tap settings in riding profile -> scroll down to zone engagement -> select single zone. Done! Starting is way easier and this setting does not affect heel lift stopping

I'm a few months new @ 300 miles on a euro-posi w/ simple stop, and it's never ghosted on me. I jump off sometimes as well. Never had a missed start with it. I think this is an easy method for beginners. I'm about ready to upgrade to a SureStart when those low riders come in. I like the smart options it offers.

Took spills on tiny curb drops and flatland spins due to engagement cutoff & immediately bought front FM flat footpads (wish I could just get front from FM) which fixed all main issues (outside of need for posi, which should be an option (along w/ deactivation delay) in GT firmware update, just like simple stop) @onewheel

I didn't like the furniture coasters, and the Gripples didn't exist yet, so I just got a roll of Velcro Tape, sliced off six inches at a time, and stuck it to the edges of the griptape. It diffuses pressure inward beneath my Size Fifteens, and almost looks like it's actually supposed to be there. That's on my GT. On my XR, I just added some ShredWings; those work too.

So my GT started doing this around 95 miles. I noticed one of the two T25 machine screws underneath that holds the front footpad down was missing. I put a screw back in it, and it seemed to fix the issue. Because my foot pad was slightly loose it caused activation issues.

I know it's not great news if you're trying to sell products, but my GT sensor has been fault free from day one. Weird side note though, my serial number was eligible to have the pad replaced for ghosting issues, but I've just never had any problems. Replacement pad is sitting in my crawlspace. Pint X though - sensor doesn't pick up every launch. My GT has yet to miss one.
