	The general rule of thumb in the Onewheel Owners Group seems to have become dividing the rider's weight by 10 to determine a good starting tire pressure (E.G. a 170lb rider would use 17psi and a 200lb rider would use 20psi). This is not a rule, it's a starting point, and there is nothing wrong with sticking with the officially recommended 20psi. New riders will generally become very accustomed to whatever tire pressure they start with. Some riders go as low as 12psi and other as high as 30psi. Keep in mind that a heavier rider is going to have a similar riding experience at higher PSI compared to a lighter rider at lower PSI. Find something that makes you happy; hopefully that's your Onewheel.

			Get yourself a high volume tire pump. If it's a floor pump, most will do. Same with small portable electric compressors. However, if it's a small portable bicycle pump, get a high volume (HV) model rather than a high pressure (HP) model. The high volume (HV) models are meant to fill big fat tires like the Vega quickly. The portable high pressure (HP) models will have you pumping for days.

			You're also gonna need a pressure gauge. Get a low pressure gauge that goes up to 30psi or so. Car tire gauges typically work fine. High Pressure gauges meant for skinny road bicycle tires do not measure the low tire pressure (15-30psi) of the Onewheel accurately.
