Future Motion, headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, designs and manufactures the Onewheel - a self-balancing electric board built to replicate the feel of snowboarding for everyday travel. Founded in 2013, the company assembles its products in the United States and operates at the intersection of boardsports and personal electric mobility.
The Onewheel board relies on proprietary work in control electronics, battery technology, and motor systems. Over 300,000 riders have logged a combined 150 million miles on the platform, reflecting a sizeable and active user base.
The company's stated mission is "making the future rad" - a framing that emphasises building vehicles designed to encourage outdoor activity rather than passive screen time. Its Santa Cruz headquarters sits near the ocean, placing it close to a community with deep roots in surf and board culture.
