Onewheel has grown into a boardsport with participants racing on off-road terrain, similar to mountain bike trails. The first official Onewheel race took place in 2016 at Vail Ski Resort during the GoPro Mountain Games in a boardercross-style competition.{{Cite web |last=Cluff |first=Jilli |date=2021-07-28 |title=Onewheel World Championship: Off-Road Race to Crown the Best |url=https://gearjunkie.com/adventure/onewheel-world-championship-2021 |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=GearJunkie |language=en-US}} The race was titled Race for the Rail, where competitors raced for a trophy constructed from a Onewheel frame rail. Future Motion has hosted Race for the Rail in each subsequent year and the event has become the main competitive event for Onewheel racing.

To use the board, riders place their feet on either side of the wheel. A rider's front foot goes on top of a pressure-sensitive pad that detects when a rider is on the board; there is also a back footpad.{{Cite web|last=Roberson|first=Bill|title=The Onewheel Pint Is The Fun Machine From The Future You Need To Experience|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/billroberson/2019/07/23/the-onewheel-pint-is-the-fun-machine-from-the-future-you-need-to-experience/|access-date=2021-04-06|website=Forbes|language=en}} To direct the board, riders lean slightly in the direction they want to travel.

Onewheel's single wheel contains a brushless electric motor that spins to propel riders forwards or backwards making constant small adjustments to keep riders balanced. Each Onewheel has three internal accelerometers and gyroscopes that continuously measure the orientation of the board in space. These monitors take readings approximately 14,000 times per second in order to tell the motor what to do to help riders balance and move.{{Cite web|date=2019-05-08|title=How this one-wheeled skateboard lets riders cruise without crashing|url=https://www.popsci.com/onewheel-pint-electric-skateboard-review/|access-date=2021-04-06|website=Popular Science|language=en-US}}

All of the models use 'Pushback' and Haptic Buzz to warn the rider that they are about to reach the maximum safe speed.{{cite web |title=Simplestop on a Onewheel [How-to] |url=https://trailwheel.com/simplestop-on-a-onewheel-how-to/ |accessdate=31 October 2022 |website=Trailwheel |publisher=Trailwheel.com}} Pushback gently forces the nose of the Onewheel up when riders approach unsafe speeds, alerting riders that they need to slow down.{{Cite web|date=2018-06-19|title=Onewheeling: Like floating on air, only better|url=https://manchesterinklink.com/onewheeling-like-floating-on-air-only-better/|access-date=2021-05-10|website=manchesterinklink.com|language=en-US}}

Riders are able to use an app that displays battery charge, miles traveled, and up to 5 different riding modes. The app also allows riders to control other board functions to personalize how the board responds to their riding style. Starting in late 2023, the Onewheel GT and GT S-Series models include Custom Shaping which allows for customization of the 5 standard riding modes. There are 7 Custom Shaping options in the app to control different ride characteristics: Breaking Aggressiveness, Aggressiveness Profile, Dynamic Responsiveness, Roll, Yaw Mix-Rate, Jump Re-engagement, and Zone Engagement.{{Cite web |date=2023-09-29 |title=Onewheel Upgrades Rideability and Safety with Firmware Update.

One major advantage of Onewheels over e-skateboards is their ability to ride over a variety of terrain.

There is a community of creators of third-party modifications for Onewheels, including larger battery packs, auxiliary wheels ("fangs"), protective plates ("bumpers"), third-party grip tape, and more.

Future Motion has faced criticism for not allowing third party modifications or repairing of the board outside of their one repair center in California. Future Motion did soften their stance on third-party tires, no longer treating them as warranty-voiding alterations.
