Walk into BoarderLabs today and it’s clear: the future doesn’t just roll—it floats. The OneWheel is no longer the new kid on the block. It’s become a full-blown movement. What started as a curiosity for tech heads and thrill seekers has grown into a lifestyle with its own gear, crews, and culture. And right here in Vancouver, we’ve been watching that culture come to life.
FROM NOVELTY TO NECESSITY
It didn’t take long for OneWheel riders to flip the narrative. No longer dismissed as expensive toys or commuter gimmicks, models like the GT, GT-S, and Pint X now shred mountain trails, bomb city streets, and commute longer than most e-bikes. Built with self-balancing tech and powered by a fat central tire, OneWheels ride like a snowboard on pavement—carving smooth lines and floating over terrain that would kill any longboard. And while snow and rain usually kill the vibe for traditional setups, OneWheels don’t flinch. Gravel, mud, roots, grass—just lean and go.
At BoarderLabs, we’ve seen the shift firsthand. Riders of all ages—from skaters and longboarders to outdoor athletes and commuters—are picking them up, tricking them out, and making them part of their daily lives.
CUSTOMIZATION: BUILD YOUR BOARD, YOUR WAY
OneWheels don’t stay stock for long. Every rider brings their own flavor, and we’ve helped build dozens of unique rigs at the shop. Some riders want torque-heavy trail monsters with aluminum bumpers and aggressive treaded tires. Others lean into stealthy urban setups with low-key rails, coloured bumpers, and responsive footpads for carving tight city blocks. Grip tape becomes a canvas, LED kits light up night rides, and even fenders get stylized. It’s not just about looks—it’s performance. Every mod changes how the board feels under your feet, and our crew is dialed into what works best for different ride styles.
BoarderLabs carries the accessories, hardware, and rider insight to get you rolling and keep you there. Whether you’re chasing speed, float, or style points, we’ve got you covered—online or in-store.
WHY NOW? WHY BOARDERLABS?
BoarderLabs has always been ahead of the curve. From stocking the earliest Powell decks in the 1980s to pushing surfskate culture in Canada, we’ve never been afraid of what’s next. OneWheels are part of that legacy. We ride them. We break them. We fix them. We’ve helped beginners take their first float and guided seasoned riders through serious upgrades.
Whether you’re using it to commute across the West End, bombing North Shore trails, or just cruising your neighbourhood with a Bluetooth speaker and a grin, we believe OneWheel culture is here to stay—and we’ve got the gear, the support, and the crew to keep you rolling. Check them out here!
