⚠️ WARNING: REPLACING THE GRIP TAPE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Both the Original Onewheel and Onewheel+ come with grip tape pre-installed. Whilst perfectly fine for casual use, serious riders will see great benefits from installing a coarser grit. The improved grip will result in better control and lesser chance of slipping off the board at higher speeds. Eventually your grip tape will wear out and you will need to replace it, or purchase new pads from FM if they ever become available.

Instructions
- Use hairdryer to carefully warm up the surface
