Method 1: The Low-fi way
Method 2: The more involved way
Pros and Cons
Method 1
Method 2
Conclusion
One of the better ideas I’ve heard for people who ride a Onewheel is to put some type of tracking tagger,
like an Apple AirTag
, in the board somewhere.
In this post I’ll show you how I put an
AirTag
in my Onewheel GT and I’ll show you how others have done it.
Method 1: The Low-fi way
I won’t lie to you, the way I did it is pretty low-fi but it seems to work great for me.
First, I wrapped up the
AirTag
in a bunch of duct tape to keep it safe.
Then I reached inside the rail of the Onewheel GT and carefully taped it in.
3 of the rails around the tire are full with cords and cables, but like you can see in the picture above, the bottom right corner rail has an empty space which allowed me to insert the duct tape
AirTag
pretty effectively.
I’ve had my
AirTag
in my board for several months now and it’s never fallen out or given me any problems.
In fact, I even shipped my board back to Future Motion and was able to track the whole thing with my
AirTag
inside my board.
I personally prefer this method because I’m not much of a “mod the board yourself” kinda guy, and the idea of taking a Dremel to my footpad made me a little nervous.
This was a low impact, simple way to get my tag in.
Method 2: The more involved way
For those of you more comfortable modding your board and making irreversible changes, this way is probably more secure, it just makes me a little nervous.
The idea here is simple, you take off the bumper of your board and carve out a small hole where the
AirTag
will fit.
My friend over at Destroy Boredom has a really good video on how to carve out the space and place your
AirTag
Pros and Cons
Method 1
Pros:
Really easy to do
No permanent alterations
No tools required
Cons:
Could fall out with rough riding or dirt
Method 2
Pros:
Definitely not going to fall out, very secure
Cons:
Permanently altering the bumper risks reducing the structural integrity
If you get new bumpers then you’ll have to repeat the process
Conclusion
There are a couple good ways to add an
AirTag
to your Onewheel, you decide which is best for you, all in all its a great idea to be able to track your board if you ever send it in for repairs or if it gets stolen.
