Here is our deep dive analysis of the 1st week of Onewheel GT shipments...
Since Onewheels are shipped in order of how they are received* we can use the order data submitted to the GT Tracker and see the progress of shipped order numbers and actually account for ALL orders - even GT orders that were not shared to the GT Tracker.
*Some notes/comments about the "shipped in order of how they are received". This is mostly true in principal, but we can clearly see that the Slick Tire GTs and Treaded Tire GTs are on different timelines. This is due to either/both of the following: Component Supply, or that even though Onewheel is trying to gauge the best tire/ratio of building boards the demand for Slick is less than Treaded (our data shows that 69% of GT Purchasers choose Treaded over Slick) and so the Slick order number have gotten ahead of Treaded. Additionally, Onewheel has publicly stated that they are having problems with completing International fulfillment, so some orders have been skipped while they work out those issues. Aside from that, we do see clear evidence that Onewheel is fulfilling orders [by Tire selection] by order number (the order that they were received).
For Week 1 shipments, the order number spread of Slick Tire GT was 4772, but we have to factor in that only 31% of orders selected Slick, so the highest likely possible number of Slick GT shipped was approximately 1417. For Treaded GT the order number spread was much lower at 2528, but the percentage of Treaded boards is higher at 69%, so when we factor that in the highest likely possible number of Treaded GT shipped was approximately 1744. Combining these together the highest possible number you can ever likely assume for the first week of shipments for the Onewheel GT was 3162.
These "highest likely possible" numbers are assuming that 100% of Future Motion orders contain a GT which is a very unlikely scenario. The Pint X went on sale the same day as the GT and Pint X was available for immediate shipment which we are sure would help it get a decent share of orders. Pint and XR were also available for order at launch and throughout a good chunk of the GT "pre-order" period (the Onewheel XR officially becoming unavailable on December 13, 2021 after being sold at the lowest discount in it's lifetime), and then there are accessory only orders, etc that each have their share of the overall order numbers in Future Motion's system.
So using our own 88GHz guesstimates we factored in what percentage of orders we believe contained a GT. We awarded an extra % of launch day orders to be GT heavy from die hard Onewheel community riders and we also accounted for statements from Onewheel on social media regarding first day GT shipments.
When we factor in these numbers we put the most probable number of GT Boards shipped during Week 1 of shipping between 1688 on our most conservative end to 2656 on our generous end.
We share these numbers with the community for a few reasons:
- We are really stoked on the GT!
- We believe in open/transparent data in an easy to access format available at a reliable central source.
- There have been some early production issues with the GT (footpad sensor issues, boards not turning on, etc), but when you compare the total number of boards shipped to the number of reports of boards with problems we currently think the % of boards with problems is small. Additionally, every case appears to be handled well by Future Motion to resolve all the launch issues and work quickly to get GT owners our riding again.
As of March 28th it is clear that Future Motion is in a production hold at the moment and not shipping any new GT boards. We saw no shipment data in our system on Friday, March 25th - this is the first week day since GT shipping began on March 7th that we say no shipping at all - and current estimated ship dates for all "In Production" and "In Queue" are set at April 5th or later. It is unclear if this delay is due to a component shortage or if quality control issues are being addressed.
As of March 31st we can still confirm that no new GT Board shipments have been logged in the orders we are tracking. However, we have seen additional Treaded GT orders enter production - so it does appear that some levels of GT board production are continuing during this period. However, earliest shipping estimate remain the same at April 5th or later.
April 3rd Update: It's officially been over 1 week since we saw any new GT Boards be shipped. This weekend we did see a few new order blocks of Treaded enter production. We also saw some major timeline estimate delays for Treaded orders - falling between 4 and 15+ days. Whereas Slick estimates only changed by up to 2 days. We think that this is because there are much few Slick orders to fulfill in comparison.
April 6th Update: GT board shipments have resumed after 8 business days with no new GT boards being shipped. This comes 2 days after Onewheel released a video statement indicating that they have revised the footpad sensor production.
April 19th Update: 2nd GT Production Pause? We believe there is/was a component shortage that caused another production gap in GT Boards. Around April 4th-7th we saw shipping estimates form a gap between April 15th and 25th. Additionally we saw substantially less boards transition to the "In Production" status (at one point NONE of the GT Treaded boards we were tracking were "In Production"). However, we also saw oddities like boards updating from "In The Queue" to "Shipped" without ever being "In Production". Last week we saw many boards with estimated ship dates of April 25th or later ship early. On April 16th we did not see any boards ship. This is the first business day with no shipments identified since April 5th. The previous pause in GT production was accompanied with a video announcement from FM. This production pause has had no such announcement. The good news is that we are possibly in the tail end of the production gap as we saw several order order blocks transition to "In Production" today with shipping estimates holding for resuming on April 25th. So it looks like components are back in supply and being allocated to orders and production has resumed and we should see shipments possibly even by the end of this week.
April 22nd Update: Future Motion did not ship any GT boards this past week, HOWEVER they did ship a GT Firmware update today and from what we have seen the community loves it! Shipping is expected to resume in the middle of next week. A ton of boards have shifted to "In Production" this week. Expect a massive number shipments next week. Have a great weekend!
April 26th Update: After a full week of no GT shipments yesterday shipping resumed with a VERY small number of boards (the lowest we have seen on a single day). We saw small adjustments in shipping estimates for all unshipped GT boards (+/- 1 business day at most). Shipping estimates still show a huge amount of boards lined up to ship this week.
April 28th Update: Shipping appears to be in full swing again with a lot of shipments recorded yesterday and a bunch of new boards entering production status. We are on the home stretch for ending what you might call the "pre-order" leg of the GT as new orders placed today are estimated to ship within 3 weeks for the first time!
May 2nd Update: Some GTs were shipped (confirmed picked up by UPS) on Saturday. This is the first time we have seen shipments over the weekend. FM is working hard to catch up on production timeline!
May 3rd Update: We have seen a delay show in GT Treaded starting with order block 321xxx. We will have to see if this sticks or not. New GT Treaded orders are likely going to see June estimated shipping dates from now on if it holds.
May 9th Update: The shipping delay pushing new Treaded orders into June that we saw last week is now also effecting Slick orders as some currently marked "In Production" Slick orders have been pushed back 2 and half weeks to May 31st as well. With so many orders flagged for May 31st, we think this is a placeholder date while FM works on gathering whatever component(s) they are missing. These dates will likely change - for better or worse - once they get a sure date of the component(s) or receive the component(s).
May 10th Update: In addition to the May 31st delay - shipments have really slowed down the past few days. It's common to see several "Blocks" be shipped on a single day and there is always a cut off point that causes a Block to continue shipping on the next business day. However, what is uncommon is cases like with 311xxx Treaded where we see orders being shipped over 3 days (May 5th, 6th, and 9th) - that is how few boards are shipping day to day right now.
May 10th Update #2: We have confirmed reports that Dealers have started receiving their orders for GTs. We believe the recent gaps in shipping were from Future Motion dedicating production to boards going out to their retail channel Dealers. We are glad to see Dealers getting their units because some customers have had their preorders with local dealers since near launch date - also, this is how local dealers earn money - they should be able to take part in the GT launch profits.
May 13th Update: Tons of customer GT shipments in the past 2 days. FM is on a roll and was able to move several order blocks back to shipping this week instead of being delayed until May 31st (however, some orders are still delayed until then). You may have noticed that we stopped accepting new order data last week and we are near reaching the end of tracking unshipped orders. We believe FM is on the verge of closing out what many would consider the "GT pre-order fulfillment period" and the purpose of our GT Tracker project has ran it's course. We give a sincere "thank you" to all the community members that contributed their order data to allow us to provide this summary data to everyone.
May 16th Update: This weekend had another Saturday where boards were built/packaged. We see some boards marked as shipped, but it does not look like the carrier actually picked them up on Saturday. Every Slick GT we are tracking has been marked as "Shipped". We saw a number of Treaded GTs move from the May 31st estimated shipping to "Shipped", but we still see a number of boards stuck at May 31st. We'll just have to see if there is any production progress today or not.
May 17th Update: May 31st delay is holding for now. None of the boards we are tracking showed any shipping movement yesterday. This could be due to a component delay, or maybe FM is doing another round of GT production for their dealers/retail shop channel.

FAQ
When did shipping begin?
On February 26th shipment notifications started sending for bundled GT accessories (creating confusion for some customers that Boards were shipping due to the formatting of some of the email templates used). On Friday, March 4th Future Motion posted an official update to social media that the first batch of Onewheel GT's would be shipping on Monday March 7th (despite the Order Tracker still returning March 4th as the estimated date for early orders). Additionally, GT related support videos were posted to the official YouTube channel, the GT Owners Manual was posted on-line, and also the Onewheel App was updated to include support for the Onewheel GT. All huge signs that shipment of boards was imminent. On Monday, March 7th around 6PM Pacific time the first GT orders (2604x) updated from "In Production" to "Shipped". Shortly after that Onewheel dropped a new video on YouTube for the GT and went to their Instagram story stating that the "first hundred, or hundreds" of board had shipped.
When did Production begin?
The order status tracking system started returning "In Production" for orders for the first time on Monday, February 21st, 2022. Most, but not all, Slick and Treaded tire orders with order numbers of approximately 26292x and lower started returning as "In Production" on February 21st, 2022. None have indicated as shipped yet.
How come your date is different than mine?
We display the earliest shipping date within a given "Block" of orders (grouped by first 3 digits of their order number and by Tire type). Some blocks may span onto multiple shipping days. Additionally, the order tracking system that Onewheel uses returns a specific date/time value in their results, but the "DUDE, WHERE'S MY ONEWHEEL?" page shows you a localized time zone formatted version of that date. We record and show the US Pacific (GMT-8) date value. And one last reason is that we do not update our dataset in real-time, but in waves. Any changes to your shipping date in the last 24-48 hours may not be reflected in our data set yet (we get a new fresh set of data for all Blocks before we publish a new table).
Tell us about Slick vs. Treaded tire selections?
Currently 69.3% of the orders we are tracking are for the Treaded Tire version of the GT. Tire availability will be a factor in shipping dates. Originally Slick tires were going to start shipping 1 week ahead of Treaded tire GTs, but now it does appear that both options will start shipping near the same time. Additionally on Jan 10th we saw a massive shift in Slick orders in the 276xxx-279xxx range - these orders originally were showing February shipping dates but all shifted about a month back indicating that there may be further constraints on Slick tire supply.
Have there been any changes in shipping dates (a.k.a. "Pushback")?
Yes. Originally Slick Tire options were going to start shipping a week earlier on January, 17th, but they have shifted to start shipping the same time as the Treaded tire options on January 24th. About 40% of the orders we track have seen some sort of adjustment delay in their estimated shipping date, from either 1 day all the way up to 18 days. On January 13th Future Motion sent an email to all GT Pre-order Customers informing them that production has been delayed due to component/supply chain issues. The first round of Onewheel GT orders will no longer be shipping in January and have been pushbacked "a couple of weeks". We then saw additional delays across the board. Earliest orders were pushbacked the most with a 35 day delay.
We have a strong commitment to the privacy of your data. When you provide us with your order number and email address we encrypt it and store it in a data storage that is private and secure and not directly accessible from the web. We will not share / sell / market to those that contribute to the GT Tracker data set. We will from time to time use your order info to retrieve an updated shipping estimate from Onewheel to see if their estimates are changing.
