The only Onewheel model you are able to take on a plane is a Onewheel Pint. We do recommend double checking with your airline before going on your trip, because different airlines may have different battery designations.
What PSI should I ride at?
The rule of thumb is to take 10% of your body weight. But, take into account your style of riding.
