If you own more than one Onewheel, you know the storage problem pretty quickly. Around the house they take up awkward space, and in the back of a car they can slide around unless you have something holding the tire in place.
I ordered a set of limited edition Halloween wood stands for my Onewheel GT and Pint X, partly because they looked fun and partly because I wanted something useful for travel and storage.
Quick Answer
These are handmade wooden Onewheel stands from Bad Assy Factory on Etsy. They come flat-packed in pieces, include painted screws, and assemble with a basic screwdriver. The stands are designed so the Onewheel rolls over the raised section and the tire rests in the center, which helps keep it from moving around in the back of a car.
My first impression: they look cool, they are lighter than I expected, and the Halloween mummy artwork gives them a fun limited edition look. The only thing I noticed right away is that only the outside faces are painted, not both sides.
What Came In The Box
The stands arrived in one box, which surprised me because I expected the package to be larger. Instead, the pieces were packed flat and protected with filler material so they would not bang around during shipping.
Inside the box were the wood frame pieces, struts, screws, a parts list, and a small thank-you note from Bad Assy Factory. The screws appeared to be painted to match the design, which was a nice detail.
These are handmade, so they are not an instant-ship accessory. Mine took about a week or two to get made, but they did arrive by Halloween, which was the point of ordering the limited edition version.
- Two frame pieces per stand
- Two struts per stand
- Four hex screws per stand
- Painted Halloween artwork
- Small thank-you note and parts list
The Halloween Design
The limited edition set I received had a hand-painted mummy theme. One of the pieces was also signed, which adds to the handmade feel.
The artwork looks good in person, and the Halloween theme fits the timing since these arrived right on Halloween. The regular versions from the shop appear to use stained wood and decorative wrap details, but this set was clearly meant to be more seasonal.
One thing I noticed is that the artwork is on the outside face. The inside face is not painted the same way. At first, I thought both sides might be finished, but the inside is also where the Onewheel will slide in and out, so that surface would probably get scuffed anyway.
Assembly
Assembly was simple. I used a small iFixit screwdriver set and put everything together by hand. You could probably use a drill, but because these are handmade painted wood pieces, I preferred to tighten the screws manually so I could feel the resistance and avoid overdoing it.
The parts were marked to show which stand was for the Pint X and which was for the GT. The struts also had different shapes: one was square, and one had a curve. The curved piece goes on the bottom with the curve facing up, while the square piece goes on top.
The screws looked like they were the same size, so there was not much risk of mixing them up. I started each screw loosely, lined everything up, and then tightened the stand once the pieces were seated.
- Use the marked pieces to separate the Pint X stand from the GT stand
- Place the curved strut on the bottom with the curve facing up
- Place the square strut on top
- Start the screws loosely before tightening everything down
- Hand-tightening makes sense because the stands are painted wood
How The Stand Works
The idea is straightforward: the Onewheel rolls up over the raised part of the stand, and the tire rests in the center. That keeps the board positioned instead of letting it roll or slide around.
For car storage, this is the main use case. If you put a Onewheel in the back of a vehicle without anything holding it, it can shift around while driving. These stands give the tire a place to sit.
They can also work around the house as display stands. I already have a metal stand, and I also have my Onewheels hung on the wall, so I am not sure these will replace my normal home setup. But they look good enough that I may still use them inside just because of the design.
Fit And First Impressions
I tested the stand with the Pint X because it was easier to bring into the shot. The board sits in the stand the way it is supposed to, with the tire resting over the center section.
The stands are lighter than I expected. I actually think they are lighter than the metal stand that came with my GT. That could be a plus if you plan to keep one in the car and move it around often.
Because they are wood and painted, I would expect normal wear over time, especially where the tire and board make contact. That is not really a flaw, just something to know if you are expecting them to stay perfect.
Who These Make Sense For
These stands make the most sense if you want a lightweight way to keep a Onewheel from sliding around in a vehicle, or if you want a more decorative stand for a home setup.
If you only care about the most durable utility stand possible, a metal stand may still be the more practical choice. But if you like handmade accessories and want something with a bit of personality, these are a fun option.
The Halloween version may not always be available since it was a limited edition design, but Bad Assy Factory also makes other Onewheel stands, and they responded quickly when I messaged them.
