Planetpapi Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just found a variation of "one wheel" board, just for $4000 ( not 400). Ergonomics wise, EUC is far better. Cool factor? May be...http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/01/hoverboard-technologies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBump Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looks like fun. If the EUC is a monoski, this is a snowboard.The size of the wheel will be a limitation, and the price is pretty hefty right now (though I'm sure the Chinese are disassembling the thing as we speak, so iprice drops will be inevitable). It's basically a fancier version of this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XNqOU4jx62IEdit: plus there is a whole generation who have been waiting for 2015 so they can have a hoverboard.

EDL Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 There was another version of this same thing posted a while ago, much more plain, with very fat and stable looking central wheel. If I was a skateboarder I'd be more interested.But we do live in wonderful times with so many personal transport options! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoMarjamaa Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 This looks more fun, but a bit too much price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieV Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 This looks like a lot of fun. Probably the closest experience to the Back to the Future hoverboard we've all been waiting for. I think the other OneWheel skateboard would not be as maneuverable due to the wide tire with its flat cross-section. On both I would think that ascending/descending hills might be problematic because after a certain grade the leading/trailing edge of the board will interfere with its ability to stay level.

Liked the look of it but the range is terrible (4 miles I think or something). Probably cool for just skatepark use as it looks very sort of industrial/simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
